"The sword energy is released!" Haruko himself was also surprised.
As a sword practitioner, although he has not reached that level, he still knows that the sword energy is released.
It is a dream state that sword cultivators have.
Those who can achieve the release of sword energy must at least have nine stages of sword art, and not even any nine stage can release sword energy.
In the Japanese kendo realm, the level division is not like that in China.
Their sword art has absorbed Chinese internal strength and spiritual cultivation methods, so those who can release sword energy must also have strong spiritual talents.
Tachiha Yukimura was able to barely release his sword energy back then.
Unexpectedly, Haruko reached this level at the age of seventeen.
No wonder he was excited.
Haruko looked at Long, and it turned out that what his brother said about gathering energy was like. It was so simple that she had reached the state of exposing sword energy.
Who is my brother?
Haruko now feels that his brother is mysterious and unfathomable.
This method is probably not simply powerful.
Time is coming to the second day.
Haruko and others came to Shiraki Kendo Hall again. Today is the day of the knockout match. When they entered the gym, all the thirty-two arenas were demolished, leaving only one ring that was several times larger than yesterday, in the center of the Kendo Hall.
Only thirty-two people entered the knockout round.
If you can reach the 32nd place in the national competition, each of them is the top genius in the Japanese kendo world.
Therefore, every knockout match is taken more seriously today than yesterday.
Moreover, the knockout round will be more cruel than the group stage.
There is only one chance, random draw, win, next round, lose, stop.
So next, in addition to strength, you also need luck.
This year's White Bird Sword Hall is more lively than yesterday, because there are almost no weak people today, and they are all duels, not to mention that the knockout round will last for four rounds.
The quarterfinals, quarterfinals, quarterfinals, and quarterfinals, until the finalists are selected.
Very exciting.
All thirty-two contestants came to the waiting area.
Kurokawa Tokuya saw the three of Tachikawa Yukimura coming, his eyes narrowed slightly. It was actually surprising that Tachikawa Haruko could enter the knockout round. He smiled and said, "Yokimura, I think you should seriously consider my suggestions yesterday. It would be a pity for Haruko to follow you in Kashima City. If you join Kurokawa Dojo, I promise she can enter the Sword Saint Palace with Shota."
Tachiha Yukimura looked at Kurokawa Tokuro and said indifferently: "Kurikawa, Haruko will join the Sword Saint Palace, but your son may not be sure, Haruko will defeat him."
Kurokawa Tokuro was stunned and then laughed: "Yogumun, you are much more humorous than yesterday. Because Haruko broke into the Thirty-Two, is it so swelling?"
Yesterday, Tachibana Yukimura was angry in front of him, but it seemed like the incompetent cry of a loser. Today, Tachibana Yukimura seemed to have changed someone, and she acted much stronger than yesterday.
He actually said he wanted to defeat Shota.
Kurokawa Tokuro has followed Haruko. After learning that Haruko broke into the knockout round, he also watched the video specifically and knew that Haruko was indeed very strong, but he was more confident in Shota.
Shota is the best kendo genius in the Kurokawa family in a century.
His expectations for Shota exceeded many outsiders' judgments.
So far, Shota has not even taken out half of his strength.
Today will be a day for Shota to make a splash.
Tachiha Yukimura said lightly: "Let's wait and see."
After saying that, he took Haruko and others to the side.
The smile on Kurokawa Tokuro's face gradually faded away, and a hint of cold light appeared.
With the expectation of the crowd, the knockout round has finally begun.
An old man from the Sword Saint Palace came out and presided over the entire knockout match. A screen was floating above the gym, with the names of thirty-two people jumping randomly.
Once the old man presses the button, he will randomly stop two names as his opponent in the knockout round.
At this moment, the compact and fierce drum beat sounded, and the old man pressed the button hard.
Two names appeared on the screen: "Akanishi Blade, Kitano Yayoi."
There was a noise in the venue. Akani Blade was the No. 9 seed, while Kitano Yayoi ranked fifteen last year. The difference in strength between the two was not very big. After all, a year passed, anything could happen.
The two jumped onto the ring and started fighting.
After two fierce rounds, Akani Blade was still better at last, defeating Kitano Yayoi.
After the two of them stepped down, the old man immediately pressed the button again. After all, there are many games to play today, so the schedule is very compact.
They went up again and started a big fight.
The matches passed one after another, and the atmosphere on the court was quite tense, but there was no sensational battle.
In the sixth game, Shota Kurokawa vs. Ito Badasai.
boom!
When these two names appear, the audience burst into tears.
Shota Kurokawa, fifth in the last session, Ito Badaozhai, third in the last session.
Both of them are absolute stars in the Kendo world. Ito Badaozhai is considered the No. 2 seed of the conference and is a favorite to win the championship. No one expected that they would meet so soon.
However, the lottery is randomly drawn by computers, and accidents can happen at any time.
I can only say that the two of them are not lucky.
However, everyone even gave sympathy to Shota Kurokawa. Obviously, everyone was more optimistic about Ito Badaozhai. After all, Ito family is one of the four major kendo families in Japan. Ito Badaozhai is two years older than Shota Kurokawa.
Regardless of origin, experience, or strength, it seems that he is not comparable to Shoto Kurokawa.
At this time, the two of them appeared.
Shota Kurokawa faced Ito Badaozhai, but his eyes were extremely plain and he did not shrink at all. Ito Badaozhai's eyes were cold, and he held the wooden sword under his ribs and held it with his back hand.
After the referee gave the order, he quickly approached Shota Kurokawa.
Suddenly, lightning seemed to flash in the void.
Ito Badaozhai used his famous sword drawing technique.
This is also the sword technique that The Ito family is most proud of. It slashes at Kurokawa Shota like a wooden sword. Kurokawa Shota suddenly leans over and slashes out with a sword, and a transparent ripple flashes, bang!
Ito Badaozhai actually flew out of the ring.
boom!
The audience stood up, and Ito was killed instantly.
Kurokawa Shota wins.
"That's right, the sword energy was released, and Kurokawa actually realized the sword energy was released."
All the contestants stood up, and even the top seed Shangquan Jianxin showed a solemn look.
In this generation, in addition to Sakura Miyamoto, a powerful kendo man appeared with sword energy released.
After Kurokawa Shota took out the sword, he slowly stood up, his face slightly pale. If he had not faced the great enemy Ito Badaozhai, he would not have easily used this trump card.
However, he played normally, although he was confident in defeating Ito, he didn't know how much energy it would take.
So while the opponent is not paying attention, use the trump card to kill the opponent in seconds.
Shota Kurokawa got off the stage and looked at Haruko and others proudly, hoping to see a hint of shock and panic in the other party's eyes. But soon, Shota's face turned cold, and this woman didn't even look at him.
