A good weapon can allow you to surpass many insurmountable people, but a low-quality weapon may make you die in a duel that is impossible to fail.
Suharaga's Odachi was forged using family techniques. In Izumo, each kendo sect or family has its own dedicated swordsmith to create suitable weapons for each samurai in the family. Forging
The swordsman's craftsmanship may directly affect the swordsman's life and honor, so every swordsmith is crucial - in order to win over these craftsmen who have excellent casting skills but are extremely rare, every family has
There are different methods, but the Suhara family chose "marriage". The two surnames became one, the two bloodlines merged with each other, and the sword-making method has been passed down from generation to generation within the Suhara family since then.
The name of the Odachi is "Yumemaru", and the blade is inscribed with "The dream of killing ghosts in the third year of Tenji". Suharaga did not choose this non-mainstream weapon when he first came into contact with kendo, but when he first accepted it
After Suhara's Itto-ryu trial failed, his strength hit a bottleneck and he was unable to make further breakthroughs. Until one night in his sleep, he dreamed that he was killing ghosts with a huge Odachi sword. When he woke up, he
He asked the family's swordsmen to cast this treasure based on the Odachi in his dream, named it "Yumemaru", and engraved this special sword inscription.
The forbidden hand of the Shinshin Yinryu under the Moon is extraordinary. The blinding light of the sword extends from the tip of Mengwan, like a meteor in the daytime, streaking across the sky but leaving only an imperceptible trace.
A thin line, but enough to cut the sky in half.
Suharaga had practiced "Ame-piercing" in the rain countless times, trying to see how fast the legendary top speed could be, but it was obvious that he failed every time. Mengmaru's sword seemed to be soaked in water.
It was as wet as ever, but he was not discouraged because he had witnessed the swordsmanship of tearing apart the rain curtain with his own eyes.
The young man who taught him this magical skill stood under the eaves and waved his knife in the pouring rain. He walked through the rain and came back again. His clothes were all wet, but only the dry part on the knife seemed to have been burned by fire.
Same as baked.
Divine speed, please reproduce it in my hands! The lion roared in Suharaga's heart.
During the fight, Suharaga had to admit in his heart that Ran Yuan's "skills" were unmatched by him, and he had only met one person during this period, so he could only place his hope on that person.
on people.
He needs another peerless genius to defeat the one in front of him!
…………
Sangai successfully penetrated Suhara Ga's shoulder and left his chest, but the last sword was stopped by "Ame Pen".
The long sword in Ran Yuan's hand was cut into two pieces by Mengwan during the contact, and "Tianshi" and "Yuchuan" were stopped at the same time.
"I lost." Ran Yuan looked at the half-broken sword in his hand.
Suharaga shook his head: "In our competition, I should be the loser."
It is certain that Suharaga is stronger than Ran Yuan, but that is at the level of "martial arts". In terms of "swordsmanship", even if Suharaga exhausted his faith and ability, and even used other people's sword skills, he was still defeated by Ran Yuan after two sword strikes.
Only then could he terminate the third sword, and if it weren't for the texture of Mengwan that was countless times stronger than the opponent's mass-produced ordinary long sword, there would be no possibility for him to still stand. I'm afraid only "he" could be stronger than Ran Yuan.
High attainments, right? Suharaga thought to himself.
"A martial arts contest is a martial arts contest. Senior Suhara is willing to give up his superiority in martial arts to have a fair duel with me. It's Ran Yuan's sincere gratitude to you." Ran Yuan said and put the broken sword in his hand back into its scabbard, along with it on the ground.
The other half also packed up. "I don't like to owe others."
"By the way, the last move you used just now... wasn't a Suhara Itto-ryu move?" Ran Yuan, who walked to the edge of the stage, suddenly looked back, "I watched Suhara Yota's game, and he and yours
The moves are exactly the same, Suhara Itto-ryu's moves are also focused on defense and capturing opportunities, but the last sword is very different."
Suhara He was stunned, what? This kid can even see such a thing: "What does Ran Jun mean?"
Ran Yuan's expression was solemn: "That is a sword move that takes offense to the extreme and completely abandons defense. It is not the same as Suhara's one-sword style, and it doesn't match your style."
"If you use this move at the first moment of the war, there is no way I can defeat you, but if you hope to find the most suitable opportunity to use it - you are totally wrong." Ran Yuandun
He paused, and then said: "This move does not require opportunities, it itself creates opportunities."
"Huh?" Suhara He was a little confused. It wasn't that he didn't understand what Ran Yuan was saying, but he didn't understand what Ran Yuan wanted to express.
"Although this move seems to be similar to Suhara Itto-ryu's 'Katsuiai'. They are both methods that pursue speed, but they are actually two completely different concepts - Katsuiai focuses on the moment of the shot, and the more
The faster you can, the faster you can cut down your opponent, and this move..." Ran Yuan raised his hand, and Suhara He felt something flying past him, and he didn't see it clearly until the thing stopped.
That was the upper half of the broken sword that Ran Yuan had just picked up. At this moment, the half of the sword had completely submerged into the green bricks at his feet.
"What it pursues is penetration, and speed is just an appearance—how fast the user can be, then how fast each move can be."
After saying that, Ran Yuan walked off the ring by himself.
…………
Suharaga stood on the ring as a matter of course until the last moment. No matter how unwilling the swordsmen in the Central Plains were to admit it, at least at this time, he was the strongest swordsman.
However, in addition to placing their hopes on the senior masters who were not present, they had another option, that is, Ran Yuan who was looking forward to regaining his strength, or Ran Yuan who had a good sword, so during this period of time
The swordsmen were very polite to Ran Yuan. Not only did they forge swords for Ran Yuan, but some even took the initiative to give him their own family swords, which made the young man dumbfounded.
A sword does not mean that the rarer the casting material, the more sophisticated the casting process is, the better the sword is. The best sword must be the one that suits you best - blade length, blade width, weight, hilt... and the relationship between a swordsman and a swordsman.
The bond of the sword in his hand.
After getting the permission from his master Qi Xiaoyi, Ran Yuan left Linning County and embarked on his journey of martial arts alone. As for where he went, it didn't matter. The most important thing was to regain his strength, or in other words,
Let your swordsmanship go further and reach the ultimate level.
If you have books, you will be long, if you don’t have books, you will be short. Ran Yuan’s matter is now a thing of the past, and what follows is the second day of the race. It is different from the first day when Suhara Ga stood on the stage uninvited early in the morning.
On the second day of challenging the swordsmen of the world, the conduct of the second day seemed to be orderly and normal. Although it was not as exciting as the first day, it was still exciting.
Since all the swordsmen were wiped out by Suharaga on the first day, masters from all walks of life have emerged today. However, since there are no restrictions on weapons, the general of the defense has changed again and again.
What is the principle of this?
In the same field, the strong will almost crush the weak, but once in a different field, the relationship between victory and defeat will become very subtle - for example, a spear is better than a dagger at most distances
Yes, but once the opponent keeps closing the distance with his body skills until they are in close combat, your spear dance will be as colorful as the falling snow, and the spear head will not be able to pierce anyone, right? Let’s say you are a standard hard-kung fu player, with excellent fists and kicks, and you can resist beatings.
, the only drawback is that you are not good at Qinggong. When you met a knife thrower, you finally waited for him to use up what he was carrying. As soon as you took a step forward, he started to use Qigong again. Did you feel uncomfortable?
The above are only relatively common examples. As for other bizarre behaviors such as secretly throwing concealed weapons, pretending to throw concealed weapons but actually using fake moves to confuse the opponent, putting the weapon on the ground after getting on stage and suddenly picking up the weapon to hit the opponent during the fight, etc.
...After so many years, everyone is no longer surprised.
Don’t think that when all the heroes in the world gather together, all those who take the stage will be some great masters. There are many people who want to gain fame and status for themselves by defeating the superiors. Even if there is a super master standing on the stage, there are still people who dare to hold the "
Try it with the attitude of "stealing the chicken", what if the other party has a bad breakfast? Not to mention that even the first-class masters are hard to guarantee that they have not used any dirty tricks in the process of growing up. Just relying on being upright is very difficult.
It's hard to live long.
The final winner on the second day was Guan Lingxiao. He took the stage in the afternoon of that day and defeated the "Nineteen Road Divine Fist", and then beat six people throughout the afternoon, and there was no outstanding character among them.
Yesterday, Suharaga probably cried when he compared him. Suharaga fought against about twenty people continuously in one day, and he didn't even have time to eat. According to this ratio, Guan Lingxiao would have to fight at least ten people no matter what.
right.
But Guan Lingxiao... he has many friends! This guy has a wide circle of friends and has friends with all three religions and nine schools. And now he has succeeded "his father" as the leader of the Changsheng Alliance. Since he is willing to compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance, he might as well give him a favor.
Well. Anyway, this year the Sihai Clan and the Beggar Clan are no longer very competitive after things like this happen. The nine major sects have excluded the two most powerful ones in addition to the last three sects that were not involved. Then
No one is in a hurry to stand out, so among the six people who challenge Guan Lingxiao, except for two who are "tests" sent by other candidates who are aspiring to be the leader of the alliance, the remaining four are all related to the "former Guan Lingxiao"
Those who have had the experience of celebrating festivals or fighting against each other think that this kid is not very capable, but how could they have imagined that the current young leader of the Eternal Life Alliance not only has a rapid advancement in martial arts, but also has a different person?
And on the third day... the situation became a little different again.
"Finally it's my turn to appear!" The guy who imitated Suharaga and stood guard on the stage early in the morning said loudly.
