Talent upgrade!
Every time the head and shoulders of the male Tanisei Ichiro rise and fall, a drop or a few drops of sweat will drip down along the tip of the nose, cheeks, neck, etc., moistening the loess. In just a moment, the soil he is facing is already wet.
A big chunk of it.
Almost at the same time that the male Tan Seiichiro fell to the ground, Aoden's body shook a few times and then slid to the ground.
"Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...!"
The intensity of Aoto's breathing was even worse than that of male Tan Seiichiro.
He felt that every muscle in his body was as heavy as if it had been filled with water.
The lower back, shoulders, fingers, elbows, wrists and other body parts were so sore and numb that they lost consciousness.
My mind and muscles were so tense that I didn't even dare to breathe out or even blink my eyelids... This state lasted for more than 2 hours.
Incredible numbers.
For an ordinary person, just standing for more than two hours would be exhausting, let alone standing without stopping while maintaining high mental and physical concentration for a long time?
It was like a person who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly consumed a large amount of delicious food with plenty of oil and water. When Qingdeng fell to the ground, the moment his body suddenly relaxed after his nerves had been tense for more than 2 hours, Pei
However, an overwhelming feeling of fatigue suddenly came over him.
Tide... no! The tsunami-like tiredness directly destroyed Qingdeng's will.
Exhausted in the true sense, he couldn't squeeze any more strength out of his body.
Not to mention standing up, he can't even move a finger now, and he can barely breathe.
This is the first time Qingdeng has encountered such a situation of "too tired to move after a battle".
At this moment, even an 8-year-old child who can't even speak clearly can easily kill Qingdeng.
Seeing that both Aoto and Seiichiro Tanani fell down, everyone in the "auditorium" rushed towards them with shouts.
"Otani-sama!"
"Master!"
"His Majesty Niou!"
Most of the people gathered around Seiichiro Tanani, and a small number of people came to Aoden's side.
With the support of countless hands, Qingden stood up swaying like a puppet in a Joruri Bunraku puppet show... or "upright".
Because his legs were still sore and numb, and his muscle strength had not yet recovered, Qingdeng relied entirely on the support of others to barely maintain his standing posture.
As soon as the blue sky returned to Qingden's head, he saw another "doll" on the opposite side looking at him with a smile.
"Tangerine-kun...you won..."
Facing the male Tan Seiichiro's congratulations, Qingto smiled bitterly.
"I can't win without force... I'm so ashamed..."
The confrontation between the two just now took place in a matter of milliseconds.
It seems that Aoto and Otani Seiichiro's moves were in no particular order, but in the end... Aoto, who had the upper hand, gained the upper hand.
His bamboo sword was half a second ahead...it really hit Otani Seiichiro's shoulder with only half a second!
The latter's shoulder was injured, and the original path of the sword was skewed, and the tip of the sword brushed Qingdeng's body.
Although Otani Seiichiro regretted losing, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Aonto's words, "I can't win without force... I'm ashamed..." are not self-effacing, but the truth.
He relied entirely on the "age bonus" to win.
Otani Seiichiro fought at the age of 65, but he was still able to force Aitobo to be unable to attack. He could only drag the battle into a long war of attrition. In the end, relying on the more abundant physical strength and energy brought by his young body, he fought hard.
Dramatically brought down the male Tan Seiichiro.
Even so, Qingdeng won an extremely difficult victory, a real narrow victory.
When the confrontation came to an end, both Aoto and Tan Seiichiro's bodies had reached their limits. They were no longer competing for physical strength and energy, but for perseverance.
Although he is more than three times the age of Qingteng, he can still compete with Qingteng, who is a "mutant", in the "physical battle" and "perseverance battle" - this alone is enough.
It is enough to prove that Otani Seiichiro's title of "Sword Master" is truly well-deserved!
Rather, Qingdeng was helpless with his momentum alone and could only passively adopt a strategy of attrition, which already proved his strength.
What a pity, no matter how powerful the warrior is, he cannot resist the erosion of time.
After all, his willpower was still slightly inferior to Qingdeng's.
It was difficult for the body to hold on, causing the posture to become unstable, which gave Qingden an opportunity.
If Otani Seiichiro could hold on for another five or three minutes... the first person who couldn't hold on would probably become Aoshito.
By then, the outcome of this duel will be completely different.
By this time, Qingdeng's physical strength had recovered somewhat.
"Mr. Otani."
He raised his head hard and said solemnly and sincerely, word by word:
"I really want to fight you when I was young!"
Hearing this, Otani Seiichiro laughed loudly as if he had heard a funny joke:
"Hahaha, fight with me when I was young? You will be severely suppressed by me, right?"
Qingden grinned.
"Because of this, the challenge is even more valuable and necessary!"
The man Tan Seiichiro chuckled a few more times and then said slowly:
"Tachibana-kun, there is no need to express such emotion."
Having said this, he paused.
Then, in a long tone, he recited an eternal famous saying:
"Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."
"In the Genpei era, there was Minamoto Kuro Yoshitsune."
"During the Warring States Period, there were Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, Tsukahara Buden, and Yagyu Sogan."
"In the early days of this dynasty, there was Miyamoto Musashi, Togo was in high position, and Itine was Sui Xuanming."
"In the generation before me, there were Ogata and Genichi Kinoshita."
"In my generation, there are me, Kiyone Soda, Shusaku Chiba, and Yakuro Saito."
"In your generation, there are you, Eijiro Chiba, Shintaro Saito, and many other talented people who have been cherished."
"'There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky' is an eternal truth in the world."
"No matter what era we are in, there will never be a shortage of talented people."
"Therefore, there is no need to feel sorry for not being able to compete with our ancestors."
As he said this, Seiichiro Tanani changed into a half-joking tone.
"Mr. Ju, maybe somewhere at some time, there is a genius who is better than you, waiting for you to challenge."
Qingdeng listened quietly, then nodded with deep understanding.
In a world of low martial arts, it is not surprising that there are any kind of freaks - this is Qingdeng's most intuitive feeling about the level of martial arts in this world.
Looking back on the past, he has met too many fierce people.
Rakshasa, who can fight against him by activating "Dragon of Reversal" and "Hachiman of Immortality" at the same time, can freely enter the state of selflessness. Boss Kiryu, who is over 60 years old but still very vigorous, can kill him with a branch.
The mysterious man in black who was unable to fight back...
Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but think to himself:
——I don’t know if I can win if I face that man in black again...
At this moment, Qingdeng suddenly felt a big slap on his shoulder.
"Ju-kun, congratulations."
Yitian Qingyin said with a smile.
"Even Otani has been defeated by you. So far, after the 'Three Great Halls', you have also defeated the military training center. Your 'Edo Conquest' has been a complete success."
Hearing this, Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile:
"'A complete success'... That's right."
In terms of results, Qingdeng undoubtedly returned home with a full load!
In this "Edo Conquest", he challenged the martial arts school and all the martial arts halls in Edo, including the swordsmanship hall, jujutsu hall, and karatou hall.
Over the past few days, he had fought against no fewer than two hundred people.
Because those who can open a martial arts gym in Edo basically have several skills, so the chance of copying the talent is extremely high!
Especially when challenging martial arts schools, top martial arts schools including the "Three Great Halls", Qingden would hear the system sound in his mind almost every time he challenged someone.
According to Aonto's statistics, until the moment he defeated Otani Seiichiro, a total of 38 of his old talents had been upgraded!
they are, respectively--
[Sword Saint]: 132 times that of ordinary people → 279 times that of ordinary people

In addition, 8 new talents were obtained——
[Dog's Nose]: The sense of smell is enhanced, and the brain's ability to process "smell" information is enhanced. The brain will not have difficulty processing excessive information due to the enhanced smell.
【Beef Liver】: Liver function is better than that of ordinary people

[Heart of a Lion]: The heart is stronger than ordinary people

[Highest quality stallion +7]: Excellent genes are easily passed on to children.
[Born for Fighting +9]: The more tense and intense the battle situation, the better the physical and mental state will be.
These 8 new talents all have very high practicality, and Qingden is very satisfied with them.
An unprecedented harvest.
However, if we want to say that "the 'Edo Conquest' has come to a successful end"... Aoto doesn't think so.
"……No."
Qingdeng said loudly in a firm tone.
"Mr. Edo, my 'Edo Conquest' is not over yet!"
Suddenly, doubtful eyes fell on Qingdeng.
Otani Seiichiro and Eda Kiyone have both been defeated by you. Who else in Edo can you wait to challenge? - They asked Aoshito with their eyes.
Seiichiro Otani was the first to react:
"Oh...yes, I almost forgot, there is him."
As he spoke, he smiled.
"That's right. If we can't defeat the 'Strongest in Edo', this epic challenge against the entire Edo will not be called a success."
Qingdeng raised the corners of his mouth in high spirits:
"I can't go to Luo with satisfaction until I defeat him!"
…
…
Outside the lecture hall——
When Qingdeng walked through the gate of the Military Academy, the sky was still glowing with the unique pale white glow of the morning.
But now, the dim yellow afterglow of the sun has spread all over the earth.
People's patience is always limited.
In a feudal society where productivity was not yet developed, the vast majority of the citizen class lived in a state of "stopping hands and stopping talking" - this was especially true for the Edo people.
Due to the development of citizen culture and entertainment activities, and due to local customs and customs, Edo people generally have no savings. If you earn 10 copper coins today, you will spend 10 copper coins, and if you earn 1 tael of gold today, you will spend 1 tael of gold, so there is an idiom:
“Edo people don’t spend overnight money”.
Who has the spare time to do nothing all day long and just wait outside the gate of the martial arts institute, waiting for the King to come out?
An hour after Qingdeng entered the military training center, half of the crowd gathered around the military training center dispersed.
By noon, only a quarter of the quantity remained.
But now, all around the gate of the Lecture Hall, the crowd is sparse, the number is less than one-thirtieth of what it was in the morning.
Among the people who had not left until dusk approached, apart from those idlers who neither needed to make money of their own but also had plenty of time, there were only Qingdeng's relatives and friends.
"Back then, there was a bastard who looked down on me! Guess what he laughed at me? He said I was a fool who couldn't even commit seppuku! I wasn't happy to hear that! So, I pulled out the gun from my waist.
Wakizashi thrust the knife into his stomach with a bang! Show him seppuku on the spot! The guy was so frightened that he fell to the ground! He almost peed!"
While Sanosuke Harada opened his upper body to reveal the scar on his stomach, he boasted to the children in front of him about the story of "haram-kiri but not dying" that he had told countless times.
As soon as Saito stood next to him, he was as immobile as a sloth. He had maintained this posture for a long time. It was so long that three pigeons thought he was a stone statue and landed on his head and shoulders respectively.
Above, he sat down and folded his wings and feet into his feathers as if laying eggs. The appearance of one person and three birds was very unpleasant.
Not far away, Shannan Keisuke and Toudou Heisuke were chatting. Swordsmen of the Beichen Ittou style always valued being in the same sect. They were both born in the Beichen Ittou style, so they had a natural closeness to each other.
In the other direction, Souji and Mai Kinoshita were sitting face to face on a clean stone step, playing with the rope, while Sanako watched the battle.
As apprentices and diners, Souji and others who live in the Imperial Guard Hall are most indispensable for time every day.
