The image on the TV was once again frozen in the moment when Soun Amamiya vomited blood.
"As expected...interesting."
Li Mengnan pinched his chin, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to have figured out the key.
Except for very special attributes of internal power, even if the internal power is released externally, it is still a physical attack in essence.
Since it is a physical attack, it must follow the laws of mechanics.
Soun Amamiya's injury was very strange. When he retreated and vomited blood, his kendo uniform did not deform in any special way, which meant that he was not attacked in any physical form at that time.
If it were not a physical attack, then this so-called "secret skill" would be worthy of repeated scrutiny.
After confirming that the secret technique used by Tanaka Jun was not the real secret technique in the legend, Li Mengnan became more confident in agreeing to the battle with Natsuki Amamiya.
If it were a swordsmanship contest with real swords and spears, the outcome between him and Jun Tanaka would be at least 50-50, maybe a little lower.
However, Li Mengnan absolutely believed that he could beat Jun Tanaka with his special skills.
The reason is simple.
Since ancient times, no matter where in the world, the status of Qimen monks has been much higher than that of warriors.
If this Tanaka Innocence had the talent for cultivation, he would never have lowered his status and joined the group of warriors, and even acted as a thug for real estate developers.
It is estimated that he may have mastered some kind of small magic by chance, and then used the gimmick of "secret skills" to cover it with a legal appearance.
After cracking Tanaka Jun's so-called "secret skill", Li Mengnan once again turned his attention to the reverse-edged sword in front of him.
As an orphan sword fictionalized in a well-known anime work and reproduced in its original version by a national treasure-level swordsman, the will power condensed on this sword is greater and more pure than the surrounding models such as "Explainer" and "Flickering Light".
Even without physical contact, he could faintly feel the surging willpower permeating the blade.
From the perspective of sword grading, this reverse-edged sword has reached the pinnacle of the upper-grade mortal level, and is only half a step away from being ranked at the spiritual level.
For the "Sword Heart Sword" technique, the mortal level can only be regarded as a toy used to coax children. Only the spirit level and above can be regarded as a "treasure" sword in the true sense.
The difference between the two is like a regular policeman and a temporary worker.
Branding projection again is already a familiar process.
A few minutes later, Li Mengnan suddenly opened his eyes, and a samurai sword that was the same as Amamiya Natsuki's reverse-blade sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
It would not be wrong to say that it is exactly the same. Although the appearance of this knife is 100% restored to the reverse blade knife, the scabbard to the handle is as pure white as snow.
Placed side by side with the low-key black color of the original reverse blade, it forms an extremely strong visual contrast.
According to convention, each projected Heart Sword must have a brand new name.
"Reverse blade means not killing, just like a tiger taking the initiative to remove its teeth and claws..."
Li Mengnan drew his sword out of its sheath, and gently stroked the thick and blunt edge with his fingers. The mirror-like silver blade faintly glowed with a chilling cold light.
"From today on, your name will be - Toothless."
Unlike "Black Light" and "White Night" whose images have changed drastically, except for the color, the appearance of "Toothless" has no difference from the prototype "Reverse Blade". People with a little common sense can basically recognize this knife.
The origin of the knife.
There is naturally a reason why Li Mengnan chose to be so high-profile.
The prototypes of "Explainer" and "Flickering Light" are absolutely fantasy-based. They are beautiful in appearance, but not suitable for actual combat.
Although the built-in Heart Sword Skill [Two Sword Style] can ignore this, people with a little knowledge of martial arts can see the fishiness in it.
Once you get into it, it will be quite troublesome.
But "Reverse Blade" is not the case.
Although this knife has an interchangeable blade spine shape that has never appeared in real history, it is still essentially the most ordinary fighting knife.
Even if someone recognizes his origin, at most they will only think that Li Mengnan is an avid animation lover, and no one will think of it as a wishful projection.
In addition, he has another plan.
Perhaps because the original work was written more than ten years ago, although the power of desire on this "reverse-edged sword" is surging and vast, it is obviously beginning to show signs of decline.
This means that someone is forgetting it.
He shaped "Toothless" into the appearance of the "Reverse Blade" in order to create momentum for the "Reverse Blade" and make people remember this legendary blade again, so that it could break through to the spiritual realm.
Jun Tanaka was his first battle to build momentum for the "Reverse Blade".
…
Shibuya Ward, Tanaka Dojo.
Tanaka Junyu, who is over 40 years old, is sitting upright under the plaque of the dojo that reads "The Unity of Man and Sword". His favorite sword is placed in front of his knees. He closes his eyes and meditates, like a stone sculpture with a serious face.
On the contrary, there were dozens of disciples under the sect who looked at the dojo gate from time to time during sword practice, and they all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
This matter starts with the challenge letter that suddenly appeared two days ago.
Two days ago in the morning, a disciple who got up early to practice swordsmanship found a letter of challenge under the door of the dojo.
The letter stated that Mingong Dojo would come to challenge Tanaka Dojo in two days.
The signature is an unknown person whom I have never heard of - Li Nan.
Challenges are not decided unilaterally. If there is no response from the challenged party, the challenging party will mostly have nothing to do.
In any case, Tanaka Jun is also a well-known swordsman in the world of Japanese swordsmanship. How can he lower himself to fight with an unknown soldier?
If you win, you will be regarded as bullying the small ones; if you lose, you will be laughed out of your peers.
Anyway, as long as they accept the challenge, their Tanaka Dojo will suffer anyway.
Regarding this inexplicable challenge, Tanaka Jun laughed it off on the spot and burned it.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, copies of this challenge letter were plastered everywhere within a radius of more than ten kilometers of the Tanaka Dojo, making it known to everyone and even alerting local media reporters.
Tanaka Jun almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
This move is too damaging.
The most important thing for a warrior is face. If he continues to refuse to fight, not to mention recruiting new disciples in the future, even the current disciples will be separated from him.
No one would want to learn swordsmanship from a cowardly master.
Tanaka Jun knows this very well, after all, this is how he crushed the Tiangong Dojo in the first place.
He didn't want to fight, he just didn't want to lower himself, he wasn't really afraid of the unknown guy who appeared out of nowhere.
But since the other party is determined to challenge, he doesn't mind letting the other party understand what "asking for one's own humiliation" means.
"Master, the agreed challenge time has come."
A disciple looked at the clock on the wall, walked up to Tanaka Jun, leaned over and whispered.
Tanaka Jun still didn't open his eyes and asked: "Are the people from Tiangong Dojo here?"
"Not yet." The disciple glanced at the media reporters who were adjusting the video equipment in the corner of the dojo, and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to call the people at Tiangong Dojo to urge them?"
