"That's it!"

"Winner: Tachibana Aoden!"

Taniguchi maintained his posture with the sword held high in a daze, standing there stupidly.

He looked at Chiba Jutaro who announced Aoto's victory, and then looked at the place where he had just been stabbed.

A few seconds ago, he was still launching a fierce offensive against Qingdeng.

After only a few seconds, he was defeated...

Taniguchi's head couldn't turn around for a while.

He encountered the same situation as Wada - he couldn't accept the dismal result of losing in such an instant.

But it's useless no matter how much he doesn't want to accept such a result.

Chiba Jutaro's verdict was not wrong.

A knife in the neck... In a real sword duel, this is a fatal injury.

Ever since, this scene happened again in this dojo - Qingdeng's challenger looked unwilling, hung his head in annoyance, put down his bamboo sword sadly, and retreated to the edge of the dojo.

At this time, Qingden still didn't hear the system sound that he had been looking forward to hearing in his mind since he decided to start a head-on confrontation with these guys who wanted to cause trouble for him...

After Wada, even Taniguchi suffered a disastrous defeat...

The "Zanako Pursuit Army" suffered two disastrous defeats, and without exception, their expressions suddenly changed again.

This time, there was no Taniguchi who couldn't wait to come on stage immediately after Wada's defeat as before.

It took several seconds before a slightly fat man pulled out a bamboo sword from the sword barrel next to him.

"I am Katsuya Katsukuro."

"I also want to have a competition with you, what do you think?"

Violent ups and downs like riding a roller coaster - this sentence is a perfect way to describe the mood of the "Sanako Pursuers Army" at this time.

Hisaya is one of the strongest among them, and he is expected to receive the Hojo Kaiden from Chiba Sadaichi within this year!

As one of their "aces", Hisaya is about to take action... This gives them some peace of mind.

"Please advise!" Qingden nodded gently to Kumi.

…

…

"Hello? What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"There seems to be a good show to watch in Field B!"

"A good show? What a good show?"

"The people in Field B are taking turns challenging that Tachibana Aoto who has been frequenting our sword hall recently!"

"Tachibana Aoden? That 'nioh'?"

"Let's go and join in the fun."

…

The movement in Field B spread to Field C like the wind.

Field C is a dedicated dojo for male apprentices whose strength needs to be strengthened, as well as all female apprentices.

After hearing that there seemed to be something lively to see in Court B, the apprentices of Court C rushed to Court B in a hurry, fearing that there would be no excitement if they arrived late.

With the arrival of the apprentices in Court C, Court B, which has many more spectators, becomes more noisy and lively.

These apprentices from Field C who came to Field B as soon as possible arrived at just the right time - they were very lucky to witness how Aoden beautifully knocked Kyuya away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bamboo sword in Qingto's hand seemed to turn into three swords, slashing at Kuya's head, chest, and shoulders from different directions.

Kuya took the three blows from Aoden with great difficulty.

Although he made a successful defense... in order to block Qingden's three swords, Kuya accidentally raised his arms and the bamboo sword in his palm too high, and the door of his body was wide open.

This fleeting flaw was clearly reflected in Qingdeng's eyes.

Qingteng saw it correctly, and took a forward step, rushing straight towards Kuya's side. When he was about to miss Kuya, he slashed with his sword without hesitation.

The blade of the bamboo sword completely cut through Kyuya's side from the guard to the tip.

The explosive power of the legs brought about by "taking the lead", and the explosive power of the waist brought by the "bear's waist"... the superposition of the two forces makes Qingdeng's chop extremely powerful.

Jiuya was directly knocked away.

He flew backwards for 3 or 4 steps before landing.

Many people who were standing at the edge of the dojo to watch the battle...especially those Bingchang apprentices who came to join in the fun were shocked by the power of Qingden's attack.

They couldn't help but imagine: What would it be like if Qingteng held a real sword instead of a bamboo sword?

His entire upper body would have been chopped off...

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shrink their necks in fear.

——Ooh... I finally copied a useful talent.

Qingden grinned.

Kuya, who had high hopes, also lost...but the people of the "Sanako Pursuit Army" still don't want to give up just like that!

Soon, another person showed a determined expression as if he was ready to die, and stood up with a "whoop" sound.

"I am Natsu Morishita!"

…

This young man named Natsushi Morishita has thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and looks very energetic.

Not only does he look very energetic, but his voice is also very energetic.

The sound is like a loud bell, and the Qi is loud and bright.

“Drink, drink ah ah ah—!”

Morishita mustered up the courage to rush forward and tried to attack Qingteng, but when he raised his sword, Qingteng had already disappeared from him.

"What?!"

Morishita looked in shock at Qingto who jumped to his upper left and into the blind spot of his attack.

Qingden used the acceleration of gravity when he landed to slash down the bamboo sword raised above his head, hitting Morishita hard on the top of his head, which was protected by a mask.

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Successfully copied talent: "Golden Voice"]

[Talent introduction: Vocal cords are not easily strained.]

--vocal cord?

Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with a bitter smile on his face.

Although the talent was successfully copied...but this new talent doesn't seem to be of much use.

——Forget it.

Qingdeng thought to himself.

——Getting new talents is always a good thing. It’s better than nothing.

——The vocal cords are not easily strained... This talent is not completely useless.

…

"Hey, Nioh, how many people has he defeated?"

"Already defeated 3 people!"

"You counted wrong! He has already defeated 4 people!"
