"Natural Rishin-ryu, Test Guard Hall, Tachibana Aoden!"

Wow!

After the referees announced their verdict, waves of sound arose from all over the viewing gallery.

Another instant kill!

After Adachi and Morishita, Aoto once again killed his opponent with one sword!

And this person who was instantly killed by Qingto was not a minor character, but an outstanding swordsman who was also listed as one of the "Three Heroes".

In just one day, two of the "Three Heroes" were defeated by Qingden, and all of them were killed with a sword without any resistance... Some of them had already seen it in the first elimination round.

The swordsmen, who were completely outmatched by Qingden's strength compared to other players, couldn't help but look in surprise, and then silently increased their assessment of Qingden's strength.

[Ding! Talent scanned]

Qingdeng did not live up to his expectations - the system notification sounded in his mind.

[Successfully copied talent: "Swordsmanship Sword Master"]

[Talent introduction: The increase in swordsmanship talent is 7 times the average level of ordinary people]

[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]

[Ding! Start talent fusion]

[Ding! "Excellent Swordsman" and "Sword Master" begin to merge]

[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]

As expected by Qingdeng, Zhui Qi also has the talent of "increasing swordsmanship talent"!

——7 times... Even if they have the same name, the talent content may not be exactly the same...

The "swordsmanship minor" copied from Morishita just now has an increase in swordsmanship talent five times that of an ordinary person.

Although the talent copied from Oizaki at this time is also called "Swordsmanship Sword Master", its talent content is that the swordsmanship talent increase is 7 times that of ordinary people.

Although the names are the same, the specific talent content is slightly different.

[Ding! Talent fusion successful]

["Sword Talent" ability promotion]

[Introduction to the talent of "Sword Talent": The increase in swordsmanship talent is 62 times the average level of ordinary people]

62... Listening to the number told by the system voice, Qingdeng spent a lot of effort not to raise the corners of his mouth too high.

This swordsmanship competition is really at the right time!

I'm afraid no one expected it - in just less than a day, his swordsmanship talent, Tachibana Aoden, jumped up a lot!

"...Thanks for the advice." Zhuiqi held his bamboo sword, stood directly opposite Qingdeng, bowed and bowed to Qingdeng in a measured manner.

He was knocked down by Qingteng's blow without any chance of fighting back... Oizaki didn't show any dissatisfaction or resentment.

On his face and in his eyes, there was only pure admiration.

Qingdeng still had a good impression of this opponent who was poor and ambitious. After Chuiqi saluted him, Qingdeng immediately bowed and returned the salute.

…

…

When all the games in the third round of knockout rounds were played, the west was already covered with sunset glow, and the sun setting in the west illuminated the sky and the earth dimly.

All today's games have ended successfully as expected.

After another half of the contestants were eliminated, the remaining ten contestants will compete again tomorrow!

It was a feast for the eyes today, and the spectators who had a great time dispersed from the viewing seats in small groups.

Many spectators who have not yet shaken off the excitement of "seeing a wonderful game" are happily discussing today's wonderful events with their friends and family as they walk home.

If we talk about which player's performance today is the most dazzling and eye-catching, it is undoubtedly Qingdeng.

In three consecutive battles, he killed his opponent instantly with a single blow, and the three people he killed instantly were all outstanding talents who had been praised as "geniuses" before... This kind of performance is really amazing.

.

"This competition is much more exciting than I expected!" Aji raised his hand and patted the plump breasts that held up his kimono, and continued to sigh with joy, "The exciting competitions are one after another.

Seeing the scene, my heart is still beating loudly."

"Sojiro, you think so... eh? Soujiro?"

Only then did Asi realize that his husband, who was sitting next to him, was now resting his elbows on his legs, crossing his fingers under his nose, looking thoughtful.

Looking at her husband who had suddenly put on such a thoughtful look, Asi wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but he was afraid that his sudden voice would disturb his husband.

So after a brief hesitation, Asi finally chose to shut his mouth and wait silently.

A long time passed, until almost all the spectators around the two of them had left, and they were the only couple left in the viewing gallery. Only then did Asi see her husband, who had been "solidified" like a rock since just now.

Finally there was movement.

Snap - Soujiro slapped his thigh suddenly and laughed a few times.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

Asa blinked at her husband in confusion: "Soujiro, what did you think of?"

"Asi! I have inspiration for writing!"

When Asi heard this, he was startled and then happy.

"Really? Have you thought of something to write?"

"This... I'll keep it a secret for now!" Sojiro smiled slyly, "I'll tell you after I finish writing it!"

"Asi, let's go! Let's go home! I'm going to write all night tonight!"

After saying that, Soujiro stood up with a "huh" and rushed home in a hurry.

"Ah, wait for me!" Looking at her husband who was rapidly shrinking in his field of vision, Aji quickly raised the hem of his kimono, tightened his bare feet into his straw sandals, and hurriedly followed Soujiro.

At this moment——

On the martial arts viewing table on the east side, in an inconspicuous corner, a tall young man and a short, ugly middle-aged man sat shoulder to shoulder.

"...Lord Rakshasa." The short and ugly middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at the darkening sky, "It's getting late, it's almost time for us to go back."

The slender young man...that is, Rakshasa seemed to turn a deaf ear to the suggestions of this short, middle-aged man.

With a faint smile on his face, he looked far ahead at the arena where no one was playing anymore, and murmured to himself:

"Originally I just wanted to come over and see what the Aizu Lord Matsudaira Yōho looks like."

"Unexpectedly...but in this competition, which I thought would be quite boring, I got an unexpected surprise."

"That Tachibana Qingden's progress is really beyond my expectation."

"What a terrible talent."

"In terms of talent...we are all trying to kill everyone in the party, and I am afraid that only Otakemaru-sama can surely defeat this Tachibana Aoshinobu."

The short, middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the Rakshasa beside him.

"Lord Rakshasa, I seem to have heard that you intend to recruit that Tachibana Qingden. Is this true?"

"Ah, yes." Rakshasa said without thinking, "Such an outstanding and wonderful talent, there is no reason to miss him, right?"

"But now I don't have much time or energy to take care of recruiting Tachibana Aoden."

A wry smile appeared on Rakshasa's cheek.

"Lord Orochi has given me so many tasks lately... that I'm a little overwhelmed."

While maintaining the wry smile on his face, he stood up leisurely.

"Okay, let's go."

"Should we go back to the base first?" The short middle-aged man stood up, "Or should we go find a restaurant for dinner first?"

"Let's go find a restaurant to have dinner first." Rakshasa said, "After dinner... let's go meet the new wife Kuan from the training hall."

"The new wife of the training hall?" Hearing this slightly unfamiliar name, the short middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned. "Is the new wife of the "Three Heroes" known as the "Three Heroes"?"

"Yes, that's right, it's him."

"Lord Rakshasa, what should we do with him?"

"Hehehe..." The bitter smile on Rakshasa's face that he had just complained about Orochi-sama giving him too many tasks... slowly turned into an intriguing and weird smile, "This new wife Kuan... maybe she can become a good experimental subject for us.

ah."
