Chapter 76
A week later.

It's time for Yuan Xuehui's fixed confrontation practice time again.

Practitioners in the dojo will be divided into groups according to their respective agreements, and take turns to discuss in front of their peers and teachers, show what they have learned during the week, and listen to instructions.

In the past, because most of the practitioners in the dojo were very familiar with each other, the actual atmosphere of this project was very relaxed even if it was confrontational.

But this time, when two particularly young practitioners came on stage, they immediately attracted the attention of most people.

"Hai Yuanchu" and "Oyama Chiyuki", the names of this pair of opponents are written on the hangings.

"start!"

Following the referee's order, both sides performed a squatting salute.Then, the front sections of the two bamboo swords cautiously and slowly approached each other.

"Crack", "crack"——

After a few tentative strikes, Hui Yuanchu felt the vibrations coming from the opponent's wrist become more intense.

Considering that the guy named Xiao Shan on the other side was always impatient, Hui Yuan initially judged that the opponent would soon attack "decisively".

Sure enough, at the next moment, Xiao Shan suddenly raised the bamboo sword over his head, chopped off the front, and shouted: "Noodles!"

Hui Yuanchu simply took a step back faster than before he shouted.

As a result, the bamboo sword that fell from the hill struck the air.

Not only that, because he leaned forward too much in his eagerness to attack, his body posture was suddenly destroyed, and his whole body was driven forward and downwards by the bamboo sword that was slashing from the ground.

At this moment, Hui Yuanchu took a step forward, slapped the opponent's faceplate with his bamboo sword, and at the same time softly shouted: "Mian!"

Then, he withdrew his sword, turned sideways, and passed the hill that continued to stagger forward.

The positions of both sides were intertwined in an instant.Xiao Shan rushed over all the way and fell on the floor, while Hui Yuanchu put away his bamboo sword and tucked it under his arm. Before Xiao Shan could get up, he took off his armor and put his hand into his protective gear to scratch the itch.

"One... one!" The student who acted as a temporary referee was a little at a loss and raised his flag after a moment.

But before he could finish his words, he was immediately overshadowed by another roar: "What a ghost! Ineffective attack!"

The eldest disciple of the dojo, Damon, who actually performs the duties of a teacher, continued to roar, "Zanxin! Haiyuan, where is your Zanxin!"

"Forget." Hui Yuanchu said confidently.

From a mental point of view, the so-called "Zanshin" means that in kendo, even if you hit your opponent, you must not relax your will or become careless. You must still maintain your posture and fighting spirit to respond to the opponent's counterattack at any time.

In terms of actual kendo rules, it is very simple: zanshin refers to the set of postures and movements that after hitting the opponent, you must face the opponent again, return to the middle position, and face the opponent.

If there is no zanshin, no points will be scored even if the opponent is hit.

In addition, Hui Yuan's current behavior of even holding a bamboo sword to watch a show... If nothing else, it would at least make old-school kendo practitioners like Daemon angry.

Damen held it in for a long time, his face turned red, and finally he could only yell: "Get out of here, the next group!"

Hui Yuanchu pulled Xiao Shan up and got off the field together.

……

The two of them walked all the way to the back of the crowd watching the game before sitting down.

As soon as Xiao Shan shrank behind the crowd and out of sight of the gate, he immediately sat down without formality.

"You guys are simply a monster." He complained to Hui Yuanchu in a low voice, "Who would believe that you just learned it for a week."

Hui Yuanchu laughed twice.He also knew that his performance was somewhat amazing.

After undergoing changes in modernization and standardization, "kendo" is relatively simple among competitive sports.In addition to basic movements, there are less than ten basic moves.

The number of attack methods derived does not exceed double digits, and most of them are essentially just flexible combinations and applications of different basic moves in battle.

Just tell me what you need to learn...you can probably finish it in a day.

But to truly master and use it proficiently, it takes many years.These include the proficiency accumulated through tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of basic movement exercises, as well as the applications summarized from combat experience.

But this is not any difficulty for Hui Yuanchu.

Practicing basic movements over many years is, firstly, to allow the body to remember the correct posture and force angle, and secondly, to exercise muscles and improve the strength and speed of these movements themselves.

Hui Yuanchu, however, only needed to activate his power, carefully observe the standard movements of Da DaMen, and remember the range of movements of all parts of Da DaMen's body.Then, he can restore it with mechanical precision at any time.

In the process, he even corrected several incorrect postures in the door action that were not easy to detect and had become habitual by analyzing the muscle efficiency of the body.

Strength and speed are the things he least needs to worry about.

Therefore, just after the first day of practice, Hui Yuanchu's basic strikes and footwork were all perfect enough to leave Daemon speechless.

The next day, Damen entered the actual combat session without hesitation.

Hui Yuan first guessed that he was going to find an opportunity to teach himself a few words, such as "No matter how perfect the basic movements are, they must be used at the right time!" and so on...

But at this moment, Hui Yuanchu had a sudden thought - he actually didn't need to worry about any advanced moves.He only needs to use the most basic move of "face attack" as quickly as possible when the referee calls to start.

As a result, the first two dojo seniors, not to mention their experience, were defeated before they even had time to raise their hands to parry.

The face of the gate soon turned livid...

When Huiyuan first saw that the situation was not going well, he quickly turned off his power and fought a few embarrassing games according to the original script of the gate, before he finally made the other party look better.

...He has confirmed that Yukinoshita Saya will stay here until late at night almost every day before going home.So, after finally finding an excuse to sneak in, he didn't want to be kicked out.

Later, Hui Yuanchu learned to be good.He has narrowed the effects of power on strength and speed to a level that is stronger than ordinary people, and only keeps the acceleration on neurological reactions and thinking.

In this way, Hui Yuanchu finally maintained himself at the performance level expected of an "ordinary genius": for example, after only one week of learning, he defeated Xiaoshan, a fourth-dan swordsman with more than three years of experience.

It's not shocking, and it's not like he's suspected of pretending to be a newbie.

In this way, the attitude of Damen and others became much better.

"What's the secret? Teach me?" Xiao Shan approached and asked.

This college student was very familiar with Hui Yuan due to his close age.

Huiyuan glanced at Xiaoshan - the secret is not to be a human being.Do you want to learn?

Of course, the words were never spoken.

However, he quickly realized: This is a good opportunity to get some words out of the mouth of this loose-talking troublesome guy.

So he deliberately looked around, and then quietly whispered to Xiaoshan: "Okay, let me tell you a secret...Actually, I did not learn kendo just last week. I was pretending."

Xiaoshan was surprised for a moment at first.

But soon, he showed a clear look again.

"I said yes... You obviously came here for Sha Yechan like me." He winked at Hui Yuanchu and said, "I just said that I didn't expect that you are more prepared than me."
