my dream space

Chapter 424 Kendo Group Battle

Explained from the perspective of competitive sports, modern kendo has no genre in the strict sense (or modern kendo itself is a self-contained genre, which combines the essence of many genres), while the genres mentioned in the usual sense They all belong to ancient swordsmanship.

Although the ancient style of swordsmanship sounds extremely mysterious, few people actually use the ancient style of swordsmanship in competitions, because there are not many people who really master its subtleties. Moreover, in essence, the ancient style of swordsmanship is used to kill the enemy and win , while modern kendo is the embodiment of its competition, and it is for physical fitness.

The starting points of the two are different, and the effects are naturally very different.

But the neon ancient swordsmanship is still like this, let alone domestic.In China, you can't even see a serious kendo book, and this kind of ancient swordsmanship is even rarer. Even today, with the extremely developed Internet, it is very difficult to find relevant kendo videos, and it is even more difficult to find relevant kendo videos. Not to mention the systematic teaching of ancient swordsmanship.

The strange thing is that under such conditions, Ji Xiaoxuan was able to demonstrate Okamoto Issao-ryuu's signature sword skill [Yu Leap] in front of everyone, which was taken from the meaning of a carp leaping over a dragon's gate. Okamoto Kojiro was about to back away, his eyes filled with astonishment.

【You...how...you can fish jump? 】

The text translated by Miyamoto Musashi appeared in front of Xia Kun. I don't know whether it is Musashi or Alyssa who is so skinny, and even typed out the tone of the ellipsis.

[Xia Kunjun, if Xiaoxuan really just started practicing kendo recently, then your lover's kendo talent is far superior to yours. 】

I don't need you to remind me about this, okay...

The owner of Oku Shigeo continued to translate Okamoto Kojiro's words, and Ji Xiaoxuan leaned forward and replied, "I hope you can tell Mr. Okamoto, please forgive me for not telling the truth."

Xiaoxuan was obviously trying to test Kojiro Okamoto on purpose to see if he would be related to Chihu; besides, he wanted Kojiro Okamoto to be interested in her, which would give her a higher chance of being invited.

However, Kojiro Okamoto did not continue to ask questions, but changed the subject and briefly introduced to everyone the dismantling of the Okamoto One-Sword Style [Yuyue] technique that Ji Xiaoxuan used just now, which is indeed very famous.

In reality, of course, Xiaoxuan did not have the opportunity to come into contact with Okamoto Yidaoyu. She relied on the Sinicized kendo books that Xia Kun got in her dream to learn the swordsmanship. Xiaoxuan could not be in Xia Kun's dream space like An Ran. Shuttle freely, so she couldn't practice against Miyamoto Musashi summoned by Xia Kun. Her only training opponent was Xia Kun. Xiaoxuan's learning efficiency is extremely high, which is why Xiaoxuan has such enthusiasm.

"You still want to deceive people... You really gave Xiaoxuan a little trouble, didn't you! You stupid loli, I said that your family, Akun, is biased."

"I..." Zhao Qingsi almost followed Yang Yaqing's advice and accused Xia Kun. Fortunately, her mind turned faster than An Ran's. She immediately pushed Yang Yaqing away and snuggled into Xia Kun's arms, "Akun wants to open Xiaoxuan's head." Let’s turn on the small stove, it’s our family matter, it’s not your turn to talk here.”

"Forgive me, did you come back from ancient times??" Yang Yang Yaqing expressed complete incomprehension to Zhao Qingsi's attitude. Could it be that she hated her to the extent that she had completely surpassed her jealousy with Xiaoxuan?So should I be happy or sad...

Okamoto Ichidao style itself is an ancient style of swordsmanship used to slash people. It does not pay attention to scoring points like modern kendo. Many moves are fouls. For example, if this fish jump hits Okamoto Kojiro's jaw, it will be Ji Xiaoxuan's Serious foul—but Okamoto Kojiro is a famous contemporary kendo master, and it is a very discreditable thing to be hit by a girl who has just learned kendo for a month in China—for Okamoto, this Not only must he win the competition, but he must win it beautifully, showing the demeanor of a famous swordsman, which is taken for granted by the public.

After Okamoto Kojiro finished his speech, the referee raised his banner and the duel continued—this time Okamoto Kojiro took the lead in attacking. Of course, he couldn't use the ancient style of swordsmanship against a seemingly weak woman like Ji Xiaoxuan. When attacking, every move is as fierce as the wind and thunder. Ji Xiaoxuan is a little bit powerless after two or three moves-physical strength is her weakness, and this is a problem she can't overcome at present; , Ji Xiaoxuan was attacked continuously by Kojiro Okamoto, and directly won the second book. Xia Kun let out a sigh of regret, and everyone applauded together.

"Wait??? How did Xiaoxuan lose?"

Zhao Qingsi looked confused, "Didn't Xiaoxuan also hit Kojiro Okamoto?"

"Of course, this will be done in order, and it is also related to the position of the hit. If you really don't understand it, just read the referee's semaphore."

"The kendo competition is really boring." Zhao Qingsi muttered, "Obviously Xiaoxuan fought well in the front, but then he lost out of nowhere..."

Ji Xiaoxuan took off the kendo uniform and equipment, and came to sit next to Xia Kun on the floor. While she was sitting on the floor, Xia Kun saw Ji Xiaoxuan's red and swollen little toes.The dojo requires everyone to take off their shoes and socks to enter, which is one of the etiquette of the kendo dojo.

"Sorry. His speed is too fast, I don't have much experience to pass on to you." Ji Xiaoxuan looked frustrated, obviously she thought she should have done better.

"Thank you." Xia Kun was still concerned about her injury, "It's okay... Did you sprain just now?"

Ji Xiaoxuan froze for a moment, "A sprain?"

"Uh... If, if it doesn't hurt, then it's fine." Xia Kun wiped his nose, and Ji Xiaoxuan, who was belatedly aware of it, gradually felt the numbness and pain from the little toe, and suddenly felt a little shame in his heart for no reason.

The owner of the Dajiu Pavilion explained the kendo competition just now in detail to everyone. While analyzing every move and attack, he also affirmed Ji Xiaoxuan's outstanding talent as a kendo rookie. Hurry up, Xia Kun can also split his mind and go
Is it an illusion?

While observing a certain attack by Okamoto Kojiro, Xia Kun actually felt the [wave of killing intent].

[Motion of Killing Intent] Not only allows Xia Kun to release his own killing intent as an aura, creating a deterrent force, but also visualizes the killing intent generated around him, a bit like the domineering aura of a bandit king It is domineering and knowledgeable, but this ability comes from Miyamoto Musashi's practice and teaching, just like [mind eyes], it is the basic quality of a swordsman.

The scarlet fluctuating killing intent disappeared almost instantly, perhaps it was just a special ability that was naturally acquired by studying the ancient sword technique.

After a little tidying up, it was soon time for kendo enthusiasts to enter. Special red cushion seats were prepared. Each seat had its own seat number. Lin Anran looked very anxious. They The cushions are blue and represent the status of the special guest.

"It's over, if I knew it, I'd just messed around with the seat over there..."

"Why do you say that?" Yang Jie looked at Lin Anran with a smile.

Oops... I actually forgot that there is an outsider here...

So Lin Anran had no choice but to tell the truth, "Because Okamoto-sensei will invite ten people to Nihong to participate in the kendo dojo's viewing ceremony. If there is a number, there may be a lottery, so..."

"Hahaha, so you are worried about this... Don't worry! This kind of problem will not happen." Yang Jie told Lin Anran directly, "This time the invitation list is pre-determined, and the lottery is just a small gift. That's all."

"Internal decision?"

Yang Jie nodded, "In the middle of the kendo lecture, there will be individual battles and group battle experience projects. Although the invitation qualifications will be generated there, as long as the ten people participate in the competition...they are recommended students from the various Daoist halls in the imperial capital. I have interviewed with Mr. Okamoto alone before."

It turns out that the so-called invitation list is just a gimmick...

However, everyone has considered this situation, but it is a bit uncomfortable when it really happens around you.

How many people, like Lin Anran, came to experience kendo purely for the free neon one-week tour!

Probably all of them!
Lin Anran panicked now.

"Senior Yang Jie, our dojo..."

"Your seniors are not ranked in the kendo circle of the imperial capital, it is impossible to have such a place..." Yang Jie patted Xia Kun's shoulder lightly, "But Akun, you can go up and experience it Lah. Neon kendo masters like to see talented children, maybe Akun, your kendo talent can be favored by Mr. Okamoto? Just like the hidden classmate Xiaoxuan. "

Senior Yang Jie seemed to have something in his words, but Xia Kun didn't have to think too much, he just waited to play later.

Since Kojiro Okamoto can’t speak Chinese, many of his narrations are very esoteric knowledge of kendo, so every time he finishes a section, the owner of the museum Oku has to stop and translate a section. This kind of experience process is not smooth, but Everyone listened very carefully, except for the girls around Xia Kun who came to learn kendo purely for playing with neon lights.Zhao Qingsi leaned on Xia Kun's shoulder, and Lin Anran was behind Xia Kun's back. Both of them fell asleep in a daze, only Ji Xiaoxuan and Xia Kun were still listening carefully.

"This guy is really suitable for being a university teacher," Yang Yaqing couldn't hold on any longer, "I just want to make people sleep..."

"But you don't have a shoulder to lean on, so it's better not to sleep."

Ji Xiaoxuan, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly mocked Yang Yaqing for no reason, which made classmate Yaqing explode instantly.

"Then, for the next session, Mr. Okada wants everyone to participate in the interaction. We plan to hold two 5V5 team competitions. I hope that everyone here can sign up enthusiastically. In addition to the winning team, we will get gifts from our gymnasium. In addition to the souvenirs, the outstanding performers will also have the opportunity to be invited by Mr. Okamoto to observe the ceremony in the neon dojo!"

The words of the owner of the Dajiu Pavilion made people's blood boil in an instant. Sure enough, everyone came here for the neon seven-day tour...

Everyone raised their hands one after another, including Lin Anran and Zhao Qingsi who were sleeping in a daze.

"This classmate, this classmate, and this one..."

As long as you observe carefully, you will find that the owner of Dajiu Pavilion is picking people, and those people should be the recommended students that Senior Yang Jie said before.After selecting the recommended students, the owner of Dajiu began to choose the real accompanying runners as he wished. He originally wanted to see Ji Xiaoxuan's level again. Ji Xiaoxuan's outstanding performance just now fascinated him. If he can attract her It would be even better to become a female disciple of your own gymnasium. Once the promotional signs of the beautiful swordsman are released, the students who come to sign up must flock to them. In this regard, the neon people and the Huaxia people are very similar— —Everyone likes a handsome girl.

However, Ji Xiaoxuan didn't raise his hand this time. Was it because he was frustrated in the game just now?

It's a pity too...

But Ji Xiaoxuan seems to have a few cute girls with good looks around him, since they are the companions that Yang Jie found together, let's call them together!
So Yang Yaqing, Zhao Qingsi, and Xia Kun were successfully shortlisted.

"???"

Lin Anran sat alone on the mat, only the smiling Yang Jie and the calm Ji Xiaoxuan accompanied her.

"Wait, I raised my hand too? Why didn't you let me go?" Lin Anran looked resentful.

"I've already called three, and it's not appropriate to call you again..." Yang Jie smiled.

"You should think more about the benefits," Ji Xiaoxuan began to comfort Lin Anran, "Maybe this kendo gym doesn't have a kendo uniform that can match your model."

"me--"

Suddenly smelled an inexplicable sadness, was this released by Xiaoxuan himself?
Seeing that Xiaoxuan was persuading himself by laughing at himself, Lin Anran felt embarrassed to say anything unfair.

But...it's a good thing.

At least he doesn't have to be disliked by Xia Kun for not learning kendo properly.

I've tried my best, but he just won't choose me...

At this time, I could explain my grievances to Xia Kun like this, yeah.

Wait... when did I become so bad.

Lin Anran was stunned for a moment, and immediately used the spiritual victory method to complete self-comfort.

Even if he learns badly, it's because of Xia Kun, a scumbag!
After all, I am a girl who likes Xia Kun so much that she can't extricate herself!
Lin Anran blushed thinking.

Xia Kun, Zhao Qingsi, and Yang Yaqing, who were fortunate enough to be selected, were changing their kendo uniforms.

"By the way, Akun, how do we fight in a team battle? Five people go up to fight? Is there any professional division?"

"I didn't even figure it out, but I ran up like a fool, I really convinced you..." Yang Yaqing patted Zhao Qingsi's head, "Although the team battle is 5V5, it's just five 1V1 games and then the total points will be counted." What are you thinking, idiot."

"??? Can it be called 5V5?" Zhao Qingsi pinched Yang Yaqing's arm and asked Xia Kun, "Is that true, Ah Kun..."

Xia Kun nodded.The team competition of the kendo competition is a 5V5 competition. The order is the vanguard, the second striker, the backbone, the lieutenant general, and the general. The competition follows the rules of the individual competition.

Just as Xia Kun and Zhao Qingsi were explaining, a laughing voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"I just don't understand this, and I still want to listen to kendo, what a mentally handicapped child."

The speaker was a fat man who looked to be about the age of a middle school student. In terms of actual age, Zhao Luoli should be his older sister.

"Who are you calling retarded?" Zhao Loli puffed out her cheeks and glared at the fat man. Before she met Xia Kun, she was a violent lolita and was good at all kinds of foul language. However, these days, someone actually dared to scold her in front of her face. ?
It's simply impatient to live!
　I just read a little about the knowledge of kendo, and welcome corrections from professionals.
