"The sword energy is released!" Haruko herself was surprised.
As a practitioner of swordsmanship, even though I have not reached that level, I still know that sword energy is released.
It is a dream state for swordsmen.
Those who can achieve the goal of releasing sword energy must at least be in the ninth level of swordsmanship, and not even any ninth level can release sword energy.
In the Japanese kendo world, the hierarchy is not like that in China.
Their swordsmanship draws on Chinese internal strength and spiritual cultivation methods, so those who can release sword energy must have strong spiritual talent.
Tachibana Yukimura could barely release his sword energy back then.
Unexpectedly, Haruko reached this level at the age of seventeen.
No wonder he was excited.
Qingzi looked at Long. It turned out that this was what her brother said about gathering energy. It was so simple for her to reach the state of releasing sword energy.
Who is my brother?
Haruko now feels more and more mysterious and unfathomable about her brother.
This method cannot be described simply as powerful.
Time came to the second day.
Haruko and others came to the Shiratori Kendo Hall again. Today was the day of the knockout rounds. When they entered the gym, all the thirty-two rings were demolished, leaving only one ring that was several times larger than yesterday. In the Kendo Hall
the center of.
Only thirty-two people entered the knockout rounds.
Being able to reach the 32nd place in the national competition, every one of them is a top talent in the Japanese Kendo world.
Therefore, every knockout match today is treated much more seriously than yesterday.
Moreover, the knockout rounds will be more cruel than the group stage.
There is only one chance, randomly selected, win, next round, lose, stop.
So next, in addition to strength, you also need luck.
This year's Shiratori Kendo Hall is even more lively than yesterday, because there are almost no weaklings today, it's all a duel between strong ones, not to mention that the elimination round lasts for four rounds.
The top 16, the top eight, the top four, until the finalists are selected.
Very exciting.
All thirty-two players came to the waiting area.
Kurokawa Nobuaki narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the three Tachibana Yukimura approaching. He was actually surprised that Tachibana Haruko could break into the knockout round. He smiled and said: "Yukimura-kun, I think you should seriously consider my suggestion yesterday.
It's a pity that Haruko follows you in Kashima City. If she joins the Kurokawa Dojo, I guarantee that she can enter the Sword Master Palace with Shota."
Tachibana Yukimura looked at Kurokawa Nobuaki and said indifferently: "Kurokawa, Haruko will join the Sword Master Palace, but your son is not sure, Haruko will defeat him."
Kurokawa Nobuaki was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Yukimura-kun, you are much more humorous than yesterday. Did Haruko break into the top 32, so you are so inflated?"
Yesterday, Tachibana Yukimura was in front of him. Although he was angry, it was like a cry of incompetence from a loser. But today, Tachibana Yukimura actually seemed like a different person, acting much stronger than yesterday.
He actually directly said that he wanted to defeat Shota.
Kurokawa Nobuaki has paid attention to Haruko. After learning that Haruko made it into the knockout round, he watched the video and knew that Haruko was indeed very strong, but he had more confidence in Shota.
Shota is the best swordsman genius in the Kurokawa family for hundreds of years.
His expectations for Shota exceeded the judgment of many outsiders.
Until now, Shota has not even shown half of his strength.
Today will be Shota's day to make a big splash.
Tachibana Yukimura said calmly: "Let's wait and see."
After saying that, he took Haruko and others aside.
The smile on Kurokawa Nobuaki's face gradually faded away, and a cold light appeared.
After much anticipation, the knockout rounds finally began.
An old man from the Juggernaut Palace came out to preside over the entire elimination round. Above the gym, there was a screen floating on it, with the names of thirty-two people jumping randomly.
Once the old man presses the button, two names will be randomly selected as opponents in the knockout round.
At this time, a tight and intense drum beat sounded, and the old man pressed the button hard.
Two names appeared on the screen: "Akanishi Ren, Kitano Yayoi."
There was a loud noise in the stadium. Akanishi Ren was the ninth seed, and Kitano Yayoi was ranked fifteenth last year. The difference in strength between the two is not very big. After all, after one year, anything can happen.
The two people jumped on the ring and started fighting.
After two rounds of fierce fighting, Akanishi Ren finally gained the upper hand and defeated Kitano Yayoi.
After the two people stepped down, the old man immediately pressed the button again. After all, there were many games to be played today, so the schedule was very tight.
They went up again and the two began to fight.
As the games passed one after another, the atmosphere in the arena remained quite tense, but there was no sensational battle.
Game 6, Kurokawa Shota VS Ito Battousai.
boom!
When these two names were revealed, the whole audience was shocked.
Kurokawa Shota, ranked fifth in the previous year, and Ito Battousai, ranked third in the previous year.
Both of them are absolute stars in the world of kendo. Ito Battousai was considered the second seed in the tournament and the favorite to win the championship. No one expected that they would meet so soon.
But the lottery is done randomly by computer, and accidents can happen at any time.
It can only be said that the two of them were not very lucky.
However, everyone looked at Kurokawa Shota with sympathy. Obviously, everyone was more optimistic about Ito Battousai. After all, the Ito family is one of the four major kendo families in Japan, and Ito Battousai is even bigger than Kurokawa Shota.
Two years old.
No matter his background, experience, or strength, it seems that he is not comparable to Kurokawa Shota.
At this time, two people appeared.
Kurokawa Shota faced Ito Battosai, but his eyes were extremely dull, without any timidity. Ito Battosai's eyes were cold, and he put the wooden sword under his ribs and held it with his backhand.
After the referee gave the order, he quickly approached Kurokawa Shota.
Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed across the sky.
Ito Battosai used his nationally famous BattÅjutsu.
This is also the swordsmanship that the Ito family is most proud of. The wooden sword slashed at Kurokawa Shota like a sword. Kurokawa Shota suddenly leaned forward and slashed out with the sword. A transparent ripple flashed past, bang!
Ito Battousai actually flew out of the ring.
boom!
The whole audience stood up, and Ito was actually killed instantly.
Kurokawa Shota wins.
"That's when the sword energy is released. Kurokawa actually realized how to release the sword energy."
All the contestants stood up, even the top seed Kenshin Kamizumi had a solemn look in his eyes.
This time, in addition to Miyamoto Sakura, there is another strong swordsman who can unleash his sword energy.
After Kurokawa shot out the sword, he stood up slowly, his face slightly pale. If he hadn't faced the formidable enemy of Ito Battousai, he would not have used this trump card easily.
But fighting normally, although he was confident of defeating Ito, he didn't know how much energy it would take.
So when the opponent is not paying attention, use your trump card to kill the opponent instantly.
Kurokawa Shota came down from the stage and glanced proudly at Haruko and the others, hoping to see a hint of shock and fear in their eyes, but soon, Shota's face turned cold, and this woman didn't even look at him.
