Chapter 114: Breakthrough in Swordsmanship, Unexpected Invitation

Chapter 114: Breakthrough in Swordsmanship, Unexpected Invitation

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened. Lu Heng turned on the lights in the practice room, drank a sip of electrolyte water, and continued to fight for the last bit of proficiency.

After reaching the subtle level of swordsmanship proficiency (2999/3000), he had been fighting for more than an hour, but still had not gained the last point of proficiency, as if his swordsmanship realm had stagnated.

This situation is actually a bottleneck in martial arts. Lu Heng originally had the insights before his rebirth and would not have encountered a bottleneck, but he still encountered a bottleneck.

Lu Heng got angry. The more he was stuck on the last point of proficiency and the more he stagnated, the more he refused to give up.

Even if you are starving, you have to get through this level first.

In fact, when you encounter a bottleneck like this, you can find a swordsmanship expert of the same level to compete with, and maybe you can break through.

However, it is not so easy to find a swordsman who is at the quasi-realm level now.

Lu Heng thought about it, sat back at the table, and opened a video on his computer.

The video is of the match of the Fuso Kendo champion Hideyoshi Tsukawa. This was his famous fight. After this fight, he became a recognized Kendo master and received praise from countless people.

After watching the video carefully, Lu Heng also felt that Hideyoshi Tsukawa played very well in this kendo match, especially the retreating technique that switched from defense to offense, which was used very skillfully.

This video was filmed three years ago. In three years, plus the extraordinary power gained after the advent of the abyss, to what extent will Hideyoshi Tsukawa progress?
Lu Heng closed his eyes and simulated in his mind the retreating technique from defense to offense in Hideyoshi Tsukawa's video, and simulated his own response method.

If it was the move in the video, it would be very easy for Lu Heng to deal with it, and he didn't even need any skills. He could just stretch out two fingers to clamp the opponent's sword.

Because Hideyoshi Tsugawa in the video is just an ordinary person, he has not obtained any extraordinary powers, and his attributes such as strength and agility are just at the ordinary person level.

Even if you are at the top level among ordinary people, you are still just an ordinary person.

With the nerve reaction speed brought by 62 points of agility, Lu Heng can now clamp his sword with his fingers the moment the tip of the sword touches his body.

However, the current Hideyoshi Tsukawa is no longer the Hideyoshi Tsukawa in the video.

The difference in swordsmanship level might not be that big, but the physical attributes would definitely increase several times.

In other words, Hideyoshi Tsukawa's sword-drawing speed now is many times faster than in the video.

Lu Heng played the video at a triple speed, played it once, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

As the sword's speed increased, the sense of oppression emitted by the sword also increased several times.

Moreover, three times the number should not be Hideyoshi Tsukawa's current level, it is definitely stronger than three times the number.

Lu Heng closed his eyes and simulated in his mind the movements of Hideyoshi Tsukawa's counter-attack technique, increasing the speed to four times, and then to five times.

Through this method, Hideyoshi Tsukawa's current kendo skills were simulated.

After the simulation, it can be confirmed that Hideyoshi Tsukawa’s current swordsmanship level is very strong.

At this stage, even the top melee psychics would find it difficult to last more than three moves in front of him.

Lu Heng closed his eyes and repeated in his mind Hideyoshi Tsukawa's retreating technique at five times the speed.

again and again……

Until this repelling technique is imprinted in his mind.

In Fuso swordsmanship, the retreat technique is one of the nine types of thirteen swords.

"Retreat" means to step back and dodge. The characteristic of this move is to attack while stepping back and dodge, so a very quick reaction is required.

Lu Heng stood up, walked to the center of the venue with his eyes closed, and gripped the Aurora Blade tightly, imagining that Hideyoshi Tsukawa was right in front of him competing with him.

After the two sides confronted each other for two seconds, Lu Heng took the lead and stabbed out with his sword in a cloud-piercing style. The blade passed through the side of Tsukawa Hideyoshi's sword and went straight to his right shoulder.

drink!
Hideyoshi Tsukawa reacted quickly, shouted, stepped back to the left and immediately used a retreating technique to counterattack.

The backward dodge and counterattack occurred almost simultaneously.

When this repelling technique was used, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Hideyoshi Tsukawa avoided Lu Heng's sword, and at the same time, the counterattacking sword had already slashed above his head.

At this time, because Lu Heng took the initiative to attack with the sword, his body was in a forward state and he could not retreat to avoid Tsukawa Hideyoshi's attack.

He was about to be hit by Tsukawa Hideyoshi's counter-attack.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Heng immediately used the Cloud-piercing Style move, the Swallow Zheshen, and the sword light suddenly changed direction, from stabbing to flicking, and flicked to the right, and with a "bang", Hideyoshi Tsukawa's sword was pushed away.

[I have gained some insights from swordsmanship training, swordsmanship proficiency +1]

[Swordsmanship proficiency: subtle level (3000/3000)]

[The cultivation of subtle swordsmanship is complete, and he has entered the fourth level of swordsmanship - artistic conception level.]

call!
Finally a breakthrough.

Lu Heng suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.

At the moment when he was dealing with Tsukawa Hideyoshi's counterattack, he performed the cloud-piercing style change move, Swallow Folding, and made a change move at the end of the sword.

However, this change of tactics was not for offense, but for defense.

Originally, the Cloud Piercing Style was an offensive move, and the modified Swallow Folding Style was also an offensive move.

However, changing an offensive move into a defensive move is also a kind of "change".

Lu Heng's previous pursuit of fierce attacks caused his swordsmanship to be stuck at the last point of proficiency. After switching from offense to defense, he finally made a breakthrough.

This is the understanding of kendo.

After the breakthrough, a smile appeared on Lu Heng's face. This time it was not only a breakthrough in swordsmanship, but also a breakthrough in his state of mind.

Sometimes, being too rigid can lead to failure. Appropriate defense and temporarily giving up attacking are the essence of a higher level of swordsmanship. Lu Heng was recalling the process of this breakthrough when his stomach protested violently.

Looking at the time, it's already half past seven. I have been fighting for an hour and a half just to gain that last bit of proficiency.

Now there is finally a breakthrough.

Lu Heng hurried home to eat and fill his hungry stomach.

……

At noon the next day.

Lin Zeyu has already made preparations for the action and has arranged the manpower, just waiting for the right time.

Just at this moment, a small incident happened.

Lu Heng received an invitation jointly sent by Ono Kenji and Tsukawa Hideyoshi. The invitation stated that he would visit Ono Kenji's mansion in Binhai and then discuss swordsmanship with Tsukawa Hideyoshi.

Since a month ago, Chunshang Group has never stopped trying to win over Lu Heng.

After all, Lu Heng is not only powerful in combat, but also a tempering master. Whoever can recruit him can get tremendous help in the world where the abyss descends.

Lin Zeyu saw the invitation and said angrily: "This little bastard, doesn't he know that we have already signed the team contract? He still wants to poach people, is he overthinking? Anyway, we have already planned to do it, don't go, just do it."

Su Muyu was also a little worried: "I'm worried that this is a Hongmen Banquet."

After thinking carefully, Lu Heng said, "The original plan remains unchanged. However, I will go if you invite me this time."

"Ah? What should we do then?" Lin Zeyu frowned immediately.

"You guys continue with the original plan. I will go meet Ono Kenji and Tsukawa Hideyoshi to see what he wants to do." Lu Heng made a decision.

In the afternoon.

Lu Heng got in the car sent by Ono Kenji and headed to a manor in Yuening District.

The manor is not big, but it is very unique.

Ono Kenji personally went to the gate of the manor to greet them: "Welcome, welcome, Mr. Lu Heng."

Next to him stood another man dressed in ronin clothes, it was Hideyoshi Tsukawa.

Lu Heng responded politely, and then was led into the manor by the two men to drink tea in the tea room next to the garden.

A woman in a kimono kneeled on the wooden floor and began to make tea.

Lu Heng didn't say anything extra polite and went straight to the point: "Mr. Ono invited me here today, what do you want to say?"

Ono Kenji was not used to such a direct way of chatting, so he coughed and said:
"Mr. Lu is really straightforward, so I'll be frank. There were some misunderstandings between the Lin family and me, and I couldn't become friends with Mr. Lu, which is very regrettable.

"So, I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds, hoping that we can shake hands and make peace.

“Mr. Lu can act as the middleman and mediate between me and the Lin family.

“In addition, I would like to invest in Mr. Lu to set up a quenching service support company. Our Chunshang Group will invest the full amount, but only hold 40% of the shares.

"Mr. Lu will invest in technology and own 60% of the shares. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Heng was a little surprised to hear his words.

have to say.

His proposal is indeed very attractive.

However, Lu Heng does not have the energy and time to put into company management, so even if the company is established, it will be handed over to managers.

The company's management is very complicated, and Chunshang Group holds a 40% stake. It is predictable what will happen at that time.

Lu Heng smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing immediately, and asked, "Anything else?"

Ono Kenji continued, "There is also something about the [Team Contract]."

Lu Heng reminded: "We have already used the [Team Contract], it seems that we can't discuss this anymore."

Ono Kenji raised his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, don't be in a hurry to refuse. If I'm not mistaken, there should only be three people signed on this [Team Contract]."

Lu Heng nodded and admitted: “Yes, only three people have been signed now.”

Ono Kenji smiled and continued, "This is the same as my previous proposal. I will buy the remaining two places with money, and the price can be higher than the auction price of this contract."

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows. According to him, he was willing to spend 6.5 million to buy the remaining two places in the [Team Contract].

If you calculate it this way, it means that we didn't spend a penny and got three team places for free.

Moreover, there is a subtle point here.

So who is this money for?
It was Kenji Ono who invited me, which means that if I wanted to take the 6.5 million, Kenji Ono would definitely not object.

However, if Lin Zeyu knew about this, he would probably feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Heng still did not refuse outright, but asked: "Mr. Ono, who are you going to give these two places to?"

Ono Kenji gestured to Tsukawa Hideyoshi who was standing beside him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is our Fuso's Kendo champion, Tsukawa Hideyoshi. He can be ranked in the top ten of Fuso Kendo.

“If you agree to this proposal, then Hideyoshi Tsukawa will become your teammate.

"With a strong kendo master like Tsukawa Hideyoshi, I don't think there is a second team of psychics stronger than you in the world."
