Although this competition was only a semi-public "friendly swordsmanship match", many people came to watch it.

The reason is that the reputation of Xuanwu Hall is too high, and there are quite a lot of people and organizations that have a close relationship with it. Most of the spectators in the "auditorium" are relatives and friends of Xuanwu Hall.

If the Xuanwu Hall were to compete with the Trial Guard Hall a year ago, it would not be possible to attract so many people to watch the game.

However, today's Trial Guard Hall is no longer the same as before.

Under the leadership of Aoshinobu, the Showei Academy defeated Kochiba Kenkan in the "Plum Blossom Festival" half a year ago, and became famous thanks to this brilliant victory in full view of the public.

Both the overall strength of the hall and the mental outlook of the disciples have undergone a transformation as if they were reborn.

Quite a few people want to witness it with their own eyes.

Witness whether the Xuanwu Hall, which has been famous for a long time, and the Trial Guard Hall, which has become famous and reborn in recent months, can present them with a unique and exciting competition.

Of course, there are also some people who come here for Qingdeng.

The reason for the people who come here for Aoto is very pure - they are either fans of Aoto, or they just want to see what the recently famous "Nioh" is capable of.

Anyone who knows a little bit about how the Showei Hall defeated the Little Chiba Kenkan in the "Plum Blossom Festival" half a year ago knows that the reason why the Showei Hall was able to win that game was because

Many masters from the Little Chiba Sword Hall were unable to participate due to various reasons. Secondly, it was because Aomori adopted the strategy of "delaying the opponent's large force and attacking the opponent's empty main formation."

Therefore, quite a few people are waiting and watching today, hoping to see whether Qingdeng will use any clever strategies to lead the Trial Guard Hall to victory.

As a result, at the moment after the drums announced the start of the game, the scene that appeared in front of them really surprised them - the trial defense hall did not set up any special formations, nor did they adopt any special formations.

Actions.

Just set up an ordinary "wedge formation"...and then directly launch a pig-like charge!

The person at the forefront was none other than Aoshito, wearing the Jinhaori that symbolizes the status of "general general".

Souji, Kondo, Hijikata and Inoue led the rest, followed closely behind Aoto.

Not leaving anyone behind...just dispatched the whole army, assuming a brave posture of "the first battle is the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle"!

As soon as the battle started, the opponent's combat power had not been reduced at all, so the general charged directly forward - this was an extremely risky behavior in the "Red and White Combat".

After all, if the porcelain bowl on the general's forehead is broken, it means defeat.

The trial defense hall actually used such a simple and crude radical fighting method... Many people in the "auditorium" saw this and couldn't hide the confusion and shock on their faces.

"The Trial Guard Hall...are you planning to directly confront the Xuanwu Hall?" Chiba Jutaro was speechless.

It was too late, but it was faster than that. Running at a high speed without any effort, Qingdeng and others had already swept across the entire stadium!

Compared to the Trial Guard Hall, which attacked them desperately as soon as the battle started, the Xuanwu Hall's style of play was quite stable.

The 20 Xuanwu Hall contestants were divided into three formations: front, middle and back, with the "main formation" as the center, putting on a very conservative defensive formation.

There are 7 people in the front line, 8 people in the middle line, and 5 people in the back line.

Chiba Tamonshiro, the teacher's representative, stood in the front line.

General Chiba Doisaburo, armed with two swords, guarded the central formation.

It must be due to genes. People in the Chiba family are all taller.

Michizaburo Chiba is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with long hands and long legs. Standing among all the contestants in the Xuanbu Hall, he looks quite outstanding.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the charge, Qing Teng rushed forward, dragging the bamboo sword on his right side with his lower right stance, and quickly swept the porcelain bowl on the forehead of the Xuanbu Hall swordsman closest to him, and pulled out the sword.

The power of the sword that breaks the sound of the wind is like the swirling clouds and the swift wind.

The swordsman's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes quickly tilted his body, and he reluctantly deflected Qingdeng's blow.

The bamboo swords clashed, and the clear sound of the swords striking each other spread throughout the arena and "audience seats."

Qingdeng's sword became the first blow that kicked off the war!

Although the players in the Xuanwu Hall were stunned because of the unconventional play of the Trial Guard Hall, they also came to their senses at this time and quickly entered a fighting state.

"Follow me!" Chiba Tamonshiro was like a majestic warrior, vigorously waving the bamboo sword in his hand, then personally swept the formation, raised the sword and ran towards Ayoto and others who had already attacked.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!"

An extremely powerful and loud roar exploded in front of Qingdeng's right side.

When he first heard this shout, Qingden was subconsciously confused: Why are there swordsmen in the Xuanbu Hall?

Qingdeng looked at the angry shout - a dark-skinned strong man wielding a sword and struck at his right wrist holding the sword.

Directly greeting the opponent's sword hand...it is indeed Beichen's one-sword style swordsmanship, not the show style.

Qingzhen recognized this person. He seemed to be the head of the Xuanbu Hall: Takejiro Kikuchi.

The so-called "school leader" can be understood as the third-in-command of the sword hall in the whole sword hall, whose status is second only to the teacher's school and the teacher's generation.

He is indeed a swordsman who can become the head of a prestigious school like Genbukan. The sharpness and power contained in his sword cannot be underestimated.

Qingdeng did not choose to fight him head-on, and relied on "seeing through" to see through the distance of his attack, then stood half a step sideways to avoid Kikuchi's sword edge.

At this time, another bamboo sword, followed by a thick black shadow, rushed towards Qingdeng from the left.

Qingdeng squinted his eyes to confirm the direction of the incoming man and the surrounding situation, then turned to the left and swung his knife to face the black figure that was coming towards him - the two actions of turning and swiping the knife were completed almost at the same time.

Black Shadow's reaction speed was quite fast, and his technique was quite delicate. In the flash of lightning, he switched from offense to defense, raised the sword above his head and withdrew it to his chest, parrying Qingden's slash, and then retreated.

He pulled away from Qingdeng.

Being defensive and passively being beaten...this is not Qingdeng's fighting style.

Qingden has always felt that Ziran Rishin-ryu is a good match for him.

Because the purpose of Tennori Shinryu coincides with his own fighting philosophy - the pursuit of attack! Attack, attack and attack again!

Qingdeng did not pursue the black figure that fled backwards.

Like a big eagle, he "soared" and jumped in front of a thin man. He lowered his body, stepped forward, flexed and stretched his upper body, and unleashed the strength accumulated in his waist in one breath, using the head of his bamboo sword.

The skin was scraped from bottom to top towards the porcelain bowl on the thin man's forehead.

Swordsmen who can represent Xuanwu Hall in competitions are definitely not just ordinary people.

Although this thin man has a seemingly frail body, his hands and feet are extremely agile.

Just when Qingdeng's sword struck, he was already exerting force with his front legs and leaping behind him, trying to stay away from Qingdeng.

His movement is very agile...but Qingden's agility is far above him!

Qingdeng walked forward as if he was being dragged forward by the bamboo sword, exposing the thin man's body to the edge of his sword again.

Qingden and Shouzi—their figures passed each other at dizzying speeds, and their bamboo swords clashed twice, making a loud sound as the two sword blades collided.

The air wave caused by the impact of the bamboo swords had not yet dissipated, and a crisp sound that was completely different from the impact of the swords reached the ears of everyone around them.

Just when the two overlapping figures were about to separate, Qingdeng spotted a fleeting flaw in the thin man's face and quickly swung his sword at his forehead, directly smashing the porcelain bowl on the thin man's forehead.

The thin man stared blankly at the fragments of the porcelain bowl falling from his forehead, sighed unwillingly, then slowly put away the bamboo sword in his hand and retreated to the outside.

Qingdeng won the first "head" in their trial defense hall and the first "head" in the entire match... Qingdeng's body suddenly erupted into bursts of cheers.

Compared to his teammates who were cheering, Qingdeng not only did not show a happy expression at this moment, but instead sighed with regret.

——It's a pity...I couldn't play for 10 seconds.

To copy a talent, you need to fight the opponent for 10 seconds or more.

Qingdeng's battle with the thin man just now lasted only about 7 seconds, and he failed to meet the conditions necessary to copy the talent.

Like the "Red and White Battle", a melee with an extremely fast pace and ever-changing battle situations, it is difficult to ensure that you fight every opponent for 10 seconds.

What's more, Qingto's opponents this time are the Xuanbukan swordsmen who are basically elite in overall quality.

When fighting against these martial arts masters, it is even more difficult to spare the energy to care about the duration of the battle.

I felt regretful in my heart, but Qingdeng quickly recovered his emotions.

Taking advantage of the good momentum of grabbing the "first kill", Qingden shouted in a majestic and imposing voice:

"Follow me! The swordsmen of Xuanwu Hall have nothing to be afraid of!"

"Oh oh oh!" - shouted one after another, fiercely responding to Qingdeng's shouting.

Suddenly, Qingdeng suddenly felt a heavy and heavy pressure approaching from behind.

At this moment, driven by conditioned reflexes, Qingdeng's body reacted before his brain.

He rotated his body with his left foot as the axis, and using the centrifugal force brought by the rotation of his body, he raised the sword in his hand and blocked the attack approaching from behind with a "pop" sound.

The next moment he blocked the sudden attack with a timely defense, Qingdeng suddenly moved forward, passed the attacker and rushed several meters away in one breath, then turned around and took up an attack stance.

Only then did Qingdeng see clearly who the attacker was.

"Chiba-kun..." Looking at Chiba Tamonshiro, who was confronting him with a solemn expression and holding the sword, Qingto suddenly thought: I have known Chiba Tamonshiro for so long, and this seems to be his first time.

Once I had a fight with this arrogant young man.

Chiba Tamonshiro's eyes flicked up and down - he was visually measuring the distance between him and Aoto.

It can be seen from his tense expression that he must be thinking about how to use a move that can knock Qingden down.

Chiba Tamonshiro suddenly moved without any warning.
