Chapter 535 [Sword Master] Join the battle! Niou VS Sword Master!
Edo, martial arts school——
Eat and drink enough, recharge your batteries...the battle begins again!
"Lock Blood +7" that improves blood vitality and activates body functions; "Strengthening Essence" that improves the recovery speed of energy and physical strength and has been upgraded many times; and "Strengthens Essence" that enhances kidney qi and improves physical fitness, also has been upgraded many times.
"Yuan Yang", with the blessing of the above-mentioned talents, Qingdeng's recovery ability has always been amazing.
After eating a hearty lunch and taking a short rest, his body and mind were back to full strength!
After returning to the main dojo of the martial arts school, he couldn't wait to take a bamboo sword from the sword rest - however, what he got was a shake of the head and a wry smile from Eda Kiyone.
"Nioh, I am 72 years old this year."
As he spoke, he showed Qingdeng his withered right hand, which was like rotten wood.
"It's a pity that I can no longer wield the sword."
Qingdeng blinked and his expression was startled.
"Nioh, let me, Kiyone Kiuda, be your opponent later!" - Kiyone Kiyota Kiyota said after lunch.
Just now you said you wanted to be my opponent, and now you say you can't wield the bamboo sword anymore. Where did this come from?
Before Qingdeng could ask a rhetorical question, Yutian Qingyin continued speaking to himself:
"So... let's change the method of competition."
After finishing speaking, he took out 2 apples from his arms like a magic trick...
…
Lecture Hall, No. A Shooting Range—
As a comprehensive military school that has introduced Western military science, the Military Academy naturally has no shortage of venues for practicing gunnery skills - the No. A shooting range is one of them.
This is a large dirt field that can accommodate hundreds of people running around.
Looking up, the wind and dust are exposed under the winter sun.
Seiichiro Tanani, leading Oishi Susumu and others, stood on the east side of the shooting range.
In front of them - in the very center of the shooting range, Qingden and Qingyin Eda took their positions.
I saw them nearly 10 steps apart, both facing the arrow target in front, holding an arrow and a bow in their hands.
The archery target was about 70 meters away from them, and there were two bright red apples on the target.
Yitian Qingyin twisted the string and pulled it a few times. After confirming the condition of the bow in his hand, he raised his head with a smile on his face and said loudly to Qingden beside him:
"Benevolent King, I have heard for a long time that your Excellency is an expert in archery and can fire arrows accurately!"
"As a direct descendant of Ogasawara-style archery and Hioki-style archery, I also have some knowledge of archery!"
"Although I am no longer able to swing the sword, I still have the ability to pull the bow string a few times!"
"This time, we will compete with each other with bow skills!"
"The winning and losing conditions are very simple - you and I take turns shooting arrows, whoever shoots through the apple on the target first is the winner!"
When Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and murmured:
"Arching skills..."
Compare your archery skills with others... If Qingden remembers correctly, the last time he did such a thing can be traced back to more than 2 years ago, when he first joined the Huo Fu Thieves Kai.
Does this kind of competition meet the conditions for the system to copy talents? Qingdeng has never tried it, so you might as well give it a try!
"good!"
Qingden nodded vigorously.
"Please allow me to appreciate the majestic style of the direct descendants of Ogasawara-style bows and Hioki-style bows!"
Yitian Qingyin grinned and smiled boldly:
"Who comes first?"
Qingdeng replied without hesitation:
"Please take the first step."
Yitian Qingyin was not polite. After hearing what Qingdeng said, he immediately raised his head and said:
"Then...I'm here!"
After saying that, he spread his legs majestically, his body was upright, his posture was even and steady, his expression was calm and calm, his eyes were not looking at the bow, but only at the apple in front of him.
Anyone who has played bow and arrow knows that although the numbers of 30-meter target, 50-meter target and 70-meter target are very small, if you really want to face these archery targets in person, you will find that these targets are only a few meters away from you.
Ten meters away, but the distance between them is as vast as the sky!
When the target is only 10 meters away from you, you don't even realize that the target is far away.
But when the target is 25 meters away, you will start to think, "Is this target too far away from me? Can I really shoot the arrow on the target?"
Not to mention the farther 30-meter target, 40-meter target, and 50-meter target.
A target 70 meters away is only 40 centimeters wide... to the human eye, it is not much bigger than a child's little finger!
At such a distance, let alone shooting through the apple on the target, just identifying the location of the apple can make people feel terrified.
In the eyes of people with poor eyesight, they can't see the apple at all, only a faint red pixel.
There are many masters of swordsmanship in martial arts schools, but there are really only a few masters of archery who are proficient in archery.
Therefore, when Oishi Jin and others saw that Qingden and Qingyin were about to shoot at such a small target, they all gasped.
Qingyin Yutian began to draw the bow.
He raised the arrow from the slope, and with his left and right hands respectively raised the bow and arrow in the position in the left front direction, and raised it over his head. Then he held the bow with his left hand, pulled the string with his right hand, and at the same time used force to pull the bow and arrow down - very standard.
Japanese shooting method.
The cluster of arrows points to the apple in the distance.
After aiming like this for a few seconds, the tight force bounced away from his arms.
As soon as the bowstring sounded, the arrow flew out quickly, piercing the atmosphere, and the apple above the target fell!
No superfluous movements...impeccable craftsmanship.
When the apple pierced by the arrow fell to the ground, the "auditorium" nearby burst into enthusiastic cheers and cheers.
Qingyin Yitian has already shot the apple. If Qingden fails to shoot the apple in his round, then he will miss the crown of victory.
Yitian Qingyin calmly released his shooting stance, turned to look at Qingdeng - it's your turn - he said with his eyes.
Qingdeng smiled slightly, then raised his eyes, looked straight ahead, took a deep breath - squeak - the sound of the bowstring being tightened immediately sounded!
He raised his bow and nocked the arrow with neat and flowing movements.
The shooting method used by Qingden is slightly different from that of Qingtian Qingyin.
The latter is to shoot the arrow on an inclined plane and draw the bow on an inclined plane.
The former is to shoot the arrow from the front and draw the bow from the front.
It is true that for ordinary people, it is not easy just to identify the location of a target 70 meters away.
But for Qingdeng, who has "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes + 5", there is no difference between an apple 70 meters away and an apple 7 centimeters away - their lines are equally clearly visible in Qingdeng's eyes!
Use "Fire Eyes +5" to lock the target.
Use "See Through +4" to get the sense of distance.
Use "Bow Yicai" to tighten the bowstring.
At the next moment when the bow was like a full moon, Qingdeng loosened the tight string without hesitation.
The arrow flew out instantly - and then the sound of apples falling to the ground was heard in the distance.
Such a scene made Dashi Jin and others look at each other in surprise.
The winning conditions between Qingden and Qingtian Qingyin are whoever shoots the apple first will win.
Now, both of them have shot the apple.
Judging from the result, the two sides were tied.
"It seems we have to compete again..."
Imai Noburo murmured softly.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly laughed out loud.
"...Humph."
The male Tan Seiichiro raised the corner of his mouth, chuckled a few times, and said loudly to Soda Kiyone not far away in a joking tone:
"Yu Tian, what are you doing? Don't lie and admit defeat!"
His ridicule immediately attracted a helpless look from Yu Tian Qingyin.
"Nan Gu, I know I lost! You don't need to remind me!"
After saying that, he sighed softly, then put away the bow in his hand, turned around to face Qingdeng, bent down slightly, and gave a gentle salute.
"My skills are inferior to those of others, so I am convinced that I have lost."
[Ding! Talent scanned]
[Successfully copied talent: "Ghost Heart +4"]
[Introduction to talents: Whether it is knowledge or martial arts, they have extremely high understanding abilities]
[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]
After quietly listening to the system sounds in his mind, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel lucky and secretly happy.
——It seems that the "Arch Skills Competition" also meets the conditions required for copying talents.
Apart from the "Eternal Talent", among all the talents Qingden possesses, the "Ghost Heart" is one of the rarest talents.
So far, he has only copied this talent from Toshizo Hijikata.
Qingden has a deep understanding of how powerful the effect of "Ghost Heart" is.
Thanks to it, whether it is boring academic knowledge or abstract martial arts skills, he can understand everything and understand it by analogy.
With a good brain with strong understanding ability, you can be popular no matter what field you are involved in.
Previously, Qingteng was able to get started with the work so quickly after he was transferred to the right as "Captain of the Third Division of the Huo Fu Thieves Reform Team" and "Second Staff and Employer of the Imperial Guard", which was indispensable to "Ghost's Heart".
Aito was not surprised that Kiyone Eda had a much more powerful "Oni's Heart +4" than Hijikata Toshizo.
Rather, if he did not have a "Ghost Heart +
Kiyon Eda is proficient in more than a dozen martial arts, and he is also an expert in elegant things such as haiku and waka.
How could such a learned man be possible without possessing terrifying personal talents?
A "Ghost Heart" without a numerical title has such a strong ability effect. Now because of the "gift" given by Yu Tian Qingyin, it directly has an extra "+5" suffix... Qingden can't even imagine it.
How smart will my brain be in the future?
Qingdeng put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and the bow in his hand, and returned the bow to Qingyin.
Looking at the old man and the young man saluting each other, Dashi Jin and others not far away looked puzzled.
Imai Noburo couldn't help but took the lead and asked the male Tan Seiichiro next to him:
"Lord Otani, why did Lord Sota admit defeat? Didn't they all shoot the apple?"
Because no one knew how to bow, almost everyone, including Oishi Susumu and Sakakihara Kankichi, turned their heads and cast doubtful glances on the male Seiichiro Tanani.
"In terms of accuracy, it's really hard to tell them apart."
Male Tan Seiichiro said slowly.
"But in terms of rate of fire, they are far behind."
After hearing this, everyone had expressions of understanding on their faces.
In the competition just now, Qingyin took a few seconds to aim.
On the other hand, Qingdeng - he almost raised his hand and shot.
Although it is only a subtle difference, if you want to close the gap of just a few seconds, it will be like reaching the sky!
Assuming that this pair of young and old are not sparring, but are actually fighting on the battlefield, a scene like this will surely occur - Qingyin Eda is still taking aim, while Qingteng has already released an arrow, blasting the opponent.
's head.
After knowing the reason why Yu Tian Qingyin took the initiative to admit defeat, everyone either actively or unconsciously cast admiration, awe, longing, etc. towards Qingden.
Not only is his swordsmanship outstanding, but his archery skills are also outstanding... Qingdeng's abilities are really fascinating - even those who hate Qingdeng have to agree with this.
After the two parties finished the ceremony, Yutian Qingyin suddenly said to Qingdeng:
"Tachibana-kun, I noticed that your archery skills are very similar to Satsuma. Is your archery master from Satsuma?"
An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on Qingdeng's cheeks, and he thought to himself: He is indeed an encyclopedic "all-around warrior". He could identify which family I studied under just by looking at my bow-drawing movements once.
He didn't hide anything and nodded directly:
"Yes, my archery master is definitely a Satsuma."
Qingyin Qingtian asked:
"May I ask what your master's name is?"
Qingdeng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Sorry, it's really inconvenient to disclose my teacher's name. Please forgive me."
Tianzhangin Atsuhime is Ju Qingden's archery master - if this news spreads, it will not be a joke!
First of all, Tianzhangyuan was the queen mother of the dynasty, and Qingdeng was just a minister.
The Queen Mother and her ministers are very close - this kind of thing, if it is not put on the scale, it will only be 4 taels. Once it is put on the scale, even a thousand pounds will not be able to stop it!
Secondly, the people of Edo have always been very good at making and spreading rumors, which is simply the best interpretation of the idiom "three people make a tiger".
Qingdeng has learned many times about how powerful their brain-feeding abilities are.
He could imagine that on the night of "Tenzhangin Atsushi taught Tachibana Aoto how to archery", the content of the news would change to "Tenzhangin Highness taught Tachibana Aoto how to shoot**".
Then when it dawned the next day, the content changed to "His Royal Highness Tianzhangyuan accepted Ju Qingden as his male wife."
Then, "His Royal Highness Tianzhangyuan summons Ju Qingden into the palace every night", "Ju Qingden is a lecherous person who doesn't even let go of widows who are monks"...
In short, it comes from whatever acerbity comes from it, and it comes from whatever it is that is obscene.
The general public has always been like this - rustling and violence have a fatal attraction for them.
Even if an item or thing does not have any rustling or violent elements, try to make it rusty and violent.
So, there are rumors, fan fiction, and other things that are either bad or good.
Seeing that Qingdeng was unwilling to disclose the name of his archery master, Yutian Qingyin did not force him to do so.
After laughing, he said softly:
"To be able to teach a master of archery as powerful as you... you must be an outstanding master of archery."
Qingden nodded vigorously:
"Well, you're right."
Although Tianzhangyin is very modest and always says that his "strength is mediocre" and his "bow skills are mediocre", but as Etian Qingyin said just now, if he can teach a master like Qingdeng, his strength will naturally not be that weak.
In just over 2 years, Qingdeng was able to go from a novice who knew nothing about archery to a master of archery. The help of the system cannot be ignored, but the efficient teaching of Tianzhang Academy cannot be ignored either.
A big help.
After chatting for a few more words, Qingyin Yutian picked up his bow and turned back to Oishi Jin and others.
"call……"
After watching the back of Qingtian Qingyin, Qingden exhaled a translucent turbid breath.
Following Susumu Oishi, Kenkichi Sakakihara and others, Kiyone Soda, one of the strongest men in the martial arts school, was also defeated by him.
Now... there is only the last "peak" that has not yet been surpassed in the martial arts academy!
Qingdeng slowly turned his head and looked at the "living legend".
When his eyes turned to him, he suddenly discovered that the other party was ready.
"Tangerine-kun, continue."
As he finished speaking, Seiichiro Tanani threw the bamboo sword in his hand towards Aoto.
Qingdeng raised his right hand and caught the bamboo sword steadily.
Snap, snap, snap, snap...
Unhurried but steady and powerful footsteps...
The male Seiichiro Tanani, holding another bamboo sword in his hand, walked in a gentle arc and reached the opposite side of Qingteng.
"...I've kept you waiting for a long time."
As he spoke, he raised the sword in his palm and pointed the tip of the sword at Qingdeng's eyebrows.
"Okay, let me see Niou's skills."
"Juggernaut"
"Otani Seiichiro"
"Join the war!"
