I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 115 Duplicating talent [Leading the lead] and [See through]

When Qingdengyu Qianshiya was discussing with Harada and Fujido to test their strength——

Edo, Wufu Bridge, Beifansuo, outside the gate——

Located diagonally opposite the gate of Beifansuo, in an alley that was extremely dark because it was covered by eaves, a very young samurai looked at Beifansuo not far away with a shy expression on his face.

He kept raising his hand and wiped his forehead again and again, but no matter how he wiped his forehead, cold sweat continued to ooze out.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he took a step towards the sunny alley, but as soon as he stepped out, he immediately retracted, and after retracting, he stepped forward again...

After repeating this several times, he gritted his teeth.

"There's nothing to hesitate...you have to... find a way to stop that lunatic Kanno as soon as possible...!"

He raised his hand and patted his cheeks a few times. The young man held his head high, and strode out of the alley with an attitude of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone". Place……

……

……

About 10 minutes later, some officials in the Beifan Office saw a very strange scene.

All the "three times" and powers currently on duty in the office rushed to Susui's office with a solemn face.

After all of you and powers from the "three times" gathered in Susui's office, I didn't see them come out for a long time.

Why did they suddenly gather in Susui's office?Are they holding some emergency meeting?
No one knows.

……

……

Edo, Senjiya——

Qingdeng and Kiryu borrowed the yard of their Senshiya, 3 bamboo swords and 1 wooden spear.

It has to be said that Qianshiwu's warehouse reserves are really rich. Qingdeng didn't expect that there were even wooden guns in Qianshiwu's warehouse.

Regarding this, Kiryu also explained to Qingdeng just now: because it is often necessary to test the true talents of job applicants, there are a large number of military equipment in the warehouse of Senshiya.

Qingdeng and Saito stood side by side on the east side of the yard, and Harada and Todo stood on the west side of the yard.

As for Kiryu, Kinoshita Mai, and Yongcura, they stood on the side of the yard and were the audience for the assessment.

For this assessment against Harada and Fujido, Qingdeng is still very eager to try.

After all, this is a good thing that can test the strength of these two people, and if you are lucky, you may be able to copy some talents from them.

He has fought against that Yongcang, and Yongcang is extremely powerful, if a strong man like him is willing to be his Gang Yin, then Qingdeng will welcome him with both hands.

There is no need to conduct any interviews with Yongcang. As for Harada and Fujido, you have to fight with them once and try their strength before making a decision.

This is the first time Qingdeng recruits subordinates for himself, and Qingdeng naturally doesn't want to recruit any weak, useless mediocre people for himself.

Qingdeng, who didn't intend to be sloppy in this assessment, checked his bamboo sword and warmed up.

"Huh?" Harada, who was opposite, suddenly realized that Saito was holding a sword in his left hand, "Hey, why are you using the 'evil sword'?"

In the kendo world of the Edo period, left-handed swords were regarded as "evil swords", and people who wielded left-handed swords would be treated as heretics. When left-handed people went to the sword hall to learn swords, they were often forced to use their right hands to use the sword.

Therefore, a left-handed swordsman like Saito is actually very rare.

Facing Harada's doubts, Saito said lightly:
"Good sword, evil sword, the sword that can cut the enemy to death is a good sword."

Hearing Saito's reply, Harada raised his thick black eyebrows, then smiled naively: "That's right."

After finishing speaking, Harada split his legs, and pointed the wooden gun with a large cloth on the end of the gun obliquely to the ground in front of him.

"I'm ready! Ready to start!"

Standing beside Harada, Fujido also raised the bamboo sword in his hand at this moment, posing in the middle: "I'm ready too!"

The tip of Fujido's bamboo sword trembled lightly like a wagtail—this is the characteristic of Hokushin's one sword style.

Gently shaking the tip of the sword is one of the most classic movements of Beichen Yidao Style. This has an advantage: it can prevent the tip of the knife from freezing, and it is convenient to respond quickly when facing the enemy's attack, and it is not easy for the opponent to see through your own intention.

Seeing that the two people on the opposite side were ready, Qingdeng turned to look at Saito beside him.

After noticing Qingdeng's eyes "talking" to him, Saito vigorously grasped the five fingers of his right hand a few times, and then nodded to Qingdeng.

Qingdeng let out a long breath, and put the bamboo sword in front of his body: "Then...let's start!"

Following Qingdeng's "start", the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became more dignified and serious.

"I'm on it!" Harada grinned loudly, and took a step forward, provoking the first attack!

With the long spear's ultra-wide attack range, Harada only needs to take a step forward to keep Qingdeng and Saito within his attack range.

I saw Harada thrust the spear in his hand forward, stabbing at Qingdeng who was directly opposite him.

The gun head wrapped in white cloth zoomed in rapidly within Qingdeng's field of vision.

Qingdeng has quite a lot of experience in how to fight spearmen... especially the spearmen of the Treasure Institute class.

After all, the first battle in his life where he fought with all his might and the blood in his body was racing was against a spearman who used Baozangyuan's spear technique.

Because he didn't know the actual strength of Harada and Fujido, Qingdeng chose a more conservative style of play.

He didn't go for a hard catch, but relied on his "Hawkeye" to sideways to avoid Harada's thrust.

At this time, Fujido also moved.

Fujido is small, but who knows his speed... No, to be precise, the explosive power of his legs is amazing!
He squatted down slightly, and then slammed his hind feet on the ground!The soles of the feet cut off a layer of soil on the ground, and the short body bounced away like a broken string!Pounce on Saito who is facing him!
Fujido's super explosive power made Qingdeng, Saito, his companion Harada, and Yongcang who was watching the battle couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

Because Senshiya had checked the strength of Harada and Fujido in advance, Kiryu and Kinoshita Mai looked calm.

"Hiss..." Yongcang stared at Todo who was jumping towards Saito, and stretched out his hand to touch his chin, "This man's legs are very strong..."

Fujido's high outburst made Saito's brows look a little surprised—but the surprise disappeared only for a moment, and Saito's expression returned to his usual indifferent look without sadness or joy.

Saito stepped back lightly, leaving room for the fight, and then raised his sword, parrying Todo's slash.

Fujido raised his sword again imposingly, ready to attack again, he kicked his feet on the muddy ground, and his short body pressed down on Saito like a mountain.

Strength starts from the ground—this is an eternal truth in the world of martial arts.

Therefore, "strong leg explosiveness" means that it is easier to send out powerful attacks.

Todo, whose legs had strong explosive power, kept sending out attacks that were too powerful for a person of his stature.

Saito took another step back, swung the bamboo sword in his palm airtightly, and blocked each of Todo's slashes one by one.

On the other hand, the contest between Qingdeng and Harada became more and more intense.

This person's strength should be comparable to that of Suehiro Moritoyo - this is the first thought that came to Qingdeng's mind after a few simple moves against this Harada.

Harada's strength far exceeded his expectations...Qingdeng's mood was jumping, but his expression became more serious.

In the two months since the death fight with Suehiro Moritoyo, Qingdeng has been practicing extremely self-disciplined, and he has hardly slacked off for a single day. In addition, he has many new powerful talents in his body compared to before. .

In terms of strength, he is completely different from the self in that "Snowy Night Chaos".

But even so, facing Harada, whose strength was almost equal to that of Suehiro Moritoyo, Qingdeng still did not show any carelessness or laxity.

After the first few tentative attacks, Harada's offensive became more and more sharp.

The wooden spear wrapped in a thick cloth rolled over again, with such force that people dared not feel paralyzed.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of Harada's spear was again in front of his eyes. His angle of attack was quite tricky, and it was too much for him to dodge, so Qingdeng raised his bamboo sword to block the tip of the gun. Passed by Qingdeng's side.

As soon as Harada's gun was put away, he had already retracted the gun to its original position, still posing with the point of the gun pointing obliquely at the ground.

When the spear came at him again, Qingdeng dodged this time, and at the same time stepped forward tentatively, assuming he wanted to get closer to Harada.

Seeing this, Harada retreated half a step with ease, aimed the gun at Qingdeng, and slammed it from bottom to top, trying to force Qingdeng back.

Qingdeng stopped his forward pace, swung his knife and smashed the end of Harada's gun, as if being bounced off, Qingdeng jumped back to where he was standing before.

The four of them fought inextricably, and neither side took advantage of it——at first glance, it seemed that it was right.

But in fact, anyone who has a little understanding of martial arts can see at this time: now Qingdeng and Saito have the upper hand.

If Harada and Fujido don't think of a way to break the situation quickly, it's only a matter of time before they are defeated by Qing and Sai.

Harada and Todo are inferior to Qingdeng and Saito mainly in two aspects.

The first place is not as good as Qing and Saito - both of them are powerless to resist Saito's strength.

"Hey, hey..." Harada glanced at Saito out of the corner of his eye, and murmured in amazement, "What's the situation with this person...?"

Fujido's offensive was fierce, like a violent storm when a typhoon passed through.

But no matter how he swung the knife and tried to force Saito to reveal his flaws, every attack of his was still dodged or blocked one by one by Saito who responded calmly.

Saito's body seemed to be sucked to the ground, flexible but stable, without any flaws.

After noticing that Todo does not appear to be Saito's match, Harada tries to lend support to Todo.

But every attack he stabbed at Saito to support Todo was either blocked by Qingdeng or blocked by Saito himself.

While dealing with Fujido, Saito can also spare his mind and strength to support Qingdeng from time to time.

Until now, Fujido, who was facing Saito, was out of breath.

On the other hand, Saito—his breath was still steady and long, without the slightest mess.

Saito's well-handled posture makes people have no doubts: Even without Qingdeng, if Saito can deal with Harada and Fujido at the same time with his own strength, he should be able to win.

Fujido, whose breath had already begun to become disordered, had gradually shown signs of decline in his attacks, and he was no longer as fierce and fierce as before.

Saito's counterattack officially began.

He took half a step forward, swinging the saber towards Fujido's left shoulder from bottom to top.

Fujido hastily raised his sword to defend, the bamboo swords clashed clangingly, he barely blocked Saito's blow, Saito's bamboo sword brushed against Fujido's temple with the sound of wind.

Saito's change of move was extremely fast. After being blocked by Fujido, he quickly changed his posture and swung his knife at Fujido again.

From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Saito starting to launch a counterattack, Qingdeng only thought for a moment, and immediately adjusted his strategy against the enemy: assist Saito, and first defeat this Todo, who has exhausted his strength!
Qingdeng took half a step in Saito's direction, and while continuing to pay attention to Harada's movements, he and Saito flanked Todo.

Harada naturally knew that if Fujido was defeated, he would be unable to support himself alone.

However, this leads to the second point where the two of them are not as good as Qing and Saito—their tacit understanding is far inferior to Qingdeng and Saito.

It's no wonder, after all, Harada and Fujido didn't know each other's names until just now, and they didn't even know what kind of tactics each other used.

On the other hand, Qingdeng and Saito - the two of them already have a lifelong friendship.

Having fought side by side together, and having lived and died together, the two have already unknowingly cultivated a very high degree of tacit understanding.

Because there is almost no tacit understanding with Fujido, Harada's support is often not in place, and even does not help Fujido from time to time.

Harada's gun was a threat that could not be ignored, and he couldn't be left alone for too long, so Qingdeng gave Saito a look—quickly get rid of Todo Heisuke!

Saito, who understood the meaning of Qingdeng's eyes, breathed out a foul breath, and his sword gradually became stronger!

Saito slashed at Fujido, then quickly turned the bamboo sword back, swung the knife towards the side, and pushed away Harada's stabbing spear. When defending Harada's attack, Saito almost didn't see it. Take a look at the position of Harada's gun head.

After launching a series of ineffective attacks on Saito, Todo's arms are now terribly numb.

After narrowly blocking Saito's slash, Fujido was unable to resist the huge force due to the exhaustion of his arms, so he could only hold the bamboo sword that was baited back, and staggered back. two steps.

At this moment, Qing Deng leaned over like Mo Yin!
Fujido, whose condition has declined sharply now, can be said to be full of flaws.

The bamboo sword on Qingdeng's right hand followed his body, jumped up violently, instantly drew an arc in the air, and slashed towards Fujido's left shoulder from the top road.

Todo tried to dodge or defend—but his actions were still one step too late.

After all, this was just a sparring for the purpose of assessment, so when the bamboo sword was about to hit Fujido's shoulder, Qingdeng withdrew his strength in time.

Snapped!
The sound of the bamboo sword hitting Fujido's shoulder was very loud, but because of Qingdeng's strength, it only caused pain to Fujido, but did not hurt Fujido.

Fujido clutched the place where he was hit, and took a few steps back in a "thump-thump-thump".

If it was a duel with a real sword... Fujido was already dead at this time.

Fujido, who knew that he was "killed" now, although he was unwilling, he still smiled helplessly and sighed softly, then took the bamboo sword in his hand and retreated to the edge of the yard.

Just now, when he saw the outstanding explosive power of Fujido's legs, Qingdeng thought to himself: Does this person have the talent of "explosive legs"?
Didn't realize it—Qingdeng really guessed it right!

Just the moment after Fujido exited the stage, a series of system sounds flashed through Qingdeng's mind:
【Ding!Scan to talent]

[Successfully copied talent: "Take the lead"]

[Talent introduction: The explosive power of the legs is different from ordinary people]

With the sound of the system sound, waves of warm current burst from Qingdeng's lower abdomen and rushed to his legs.

Under the warm current, Qingdeng only felt his legs ache.

After the warm current subsided, Qing Deng tightened his leg muscles.

The muscles of the legs...have never been firmer and stronger!
— Good luck!
Feeling the changes in his legs, Qingdeng couldn't help grinning happily.

Qingdeng originally wanted to savor the joy of gaining a new god-level talent, but the ongoing battle obviously did not allow Qingdeng to have this leeway.

Fujido has already left the stage, leaving Harada alone.

Ben had a naive smile on Harada's face.

But now, his face was tense and his expression was solemn.

Even though he was alone, Harada didn't show any timidity or flinching on his face.

He shook off the wooden gun in his hand, forcing back Qingdeng and Saito who were trying to approach him from left and right.

As early as when he was one-on-one with Harada just now, Qingdeng had noticed it—this person's sense of distance is very well grasped.

When it was time to retreat, he retreated quite decisively, and when it was time to advance, he advanced without hesitation.

Whether it is a sword or a gun, if you look at all the defeat cases in the battle of soldiers, you can find that the cause of most people's defeat lies in "not knowing the distance between you and the enemy".

I have already entered the enemy's attack range without knowing it; my weapon is clearly unable to touch the enemy and starts to attack; I overestimate the enemy's attack distance and retreat too far, exhausting my energy...

All in all, whether you can grasp the distance from the opponent, and whether you can judge when to retreat and when to advance, this is a watershed that distinguishes rookies from masters.

Although Harada's skills are good, he is still unable to support himself after all.

Although relying on the ultra-wide attack range of the spear, he temporarily intercepted Qing and Zhai who were trying to get close to him...but it was only "temporary" after all.

After fighting so far, Harada finally showed a flaw, the angle of the spear stabbing Saito was skewed a bit.

Saito took aim at this fighter, stood with his feet slightly wider than his shoulders, lowered his center of gravity, took a deep breath, and swiped the knife heavily from bottom to top in the lower stance, hitting the spear head that Harada had not had time to retract.

The gun body was shaken away... Harada's empty door opened instantly!

Here comes the chance to tell the winner!Qingdeng clenched the bamboo sword in his hand.

——Just to be able to try out the newly acquired talent!

Qing Deng slammed his hind foot on the ground, like a bullet flying from the muzzle of a gun, and rushed straight to Harada.

The sound of "huhuhu" breaking the wind passing by his ears made Qingdeng show a look of astonishment.

--So fast!
After actually trying it once, Qingdeng truly realized what his legs had been "transformed" at present, and he realized for the first time what a "flying man" is.

Not only Qingdeng was shocked by his current speed and explosive power, but also Saito, Kiryu, Kinoshita Mai and other people in the yard all showed surprise at this time.

Kinoshita Mai's red lips parted slightly, her eyes opened round, and she blinked vigorously.

Yongcang, who had fought against Qingdeng, now raised his hand and touched his chin again: "Hmm... Jun Ju's legs are so strong..."

The rapid speed brought by the powerful explosive force made Qingdeng rush to Harada in the blink of an eye.

The spear can only exert its power when it distances itself from the enemy.

Once the enemy gets close, the long gun body of the spear will become an obstacle to your battle because it is difficult to attack the enemy in front of you.

Harada hurriedly backed away, trying to distance himself from Qingdeng.

But it was too late.

The moment the blade of the bamboo sword in his hand could touch Harada's body, Qingdeng swung his sword and slashed at Harada's chest.

Harada subconsciously turned the gun sideways, trying to block Qingdeng's blow with the gun barrel.

However, Qingdeng's blow was just a feint.

With a feint, after deceiving Harada's defense, Qingdeng turned the blade, and the bamboo sword swept Harada's left leg, breaking Harada's center of gravity. on Harada's chest.

Looking at the bamboo sword against his chest, Harada was startled, then he laughed a few times, and threw the wooden gun in his hand to the ground.

"I lost."
