Chapter 100 I teach Kendo in Japan
"Sword Master? Really?"

Nakamura Tsuyoshi couldn't believe the evaluation given by Kamiizumi Saisao.

In Japan, it is extremely difficult to obtain the title of Sword Master.

Possessing sword skills that dominate an era and a convincing record are just the most basic requirements.

It is even more necessary to blaze a new trail in the field of swordsmanship, lead future generations forward, and reach the pinnacle in theory.

Therefore, many famous swordsmen, such as Yagyu Munenobu, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro... only have the title of swordsman and cannot become a sword saint.

Among the many famous warriors in the Warring States Period, only Kamiizumi Nobunaga and Tsukahara Bokuden were awarded the title of Sword Saint.

Ueizumi Sainao actually said that Lin Yuan is a sword saint?

"But no matter how good Lin Yuan's swordsmanship is, he can't teach the three teachers, right? After all, he practices Chinese swordsmanship." Nakamura Tsuyoshi asked.

"Martial arts are interconnected at the highest level. As long as Lin Yuan-sang demonstrates Chinese swordsmanship to us in person and is willing to give us some pointers, we will benefit greatly and may even get a glimpse of the top level of kendo." Shangquanzhai answered directly.

"I can't believe that a foreigner is considered a sword master and can even guide our country's kendo master." said Takeo Nakamura.

"What did you say?" Tsukahara Nobutomo asked.

"I think the three teachers have great ideas!" replied Tsuyoshi Nakamura.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, please be generous with your guidance."

The three Japanese swordsmen stood up from their seats and bowed in unison.

After the three of them bent down, they kept bowing, as if they would not stand up unless I agreed.

"Lin Yuan, look?" Seeing this scene, Mr. Eisen turned his head to look at Lin Yuan.

He wasn't sure whether Lin Yuan should agree to the other party's request, so he asked.

If Lin Yuan feels that something is inappropriate, Mr. Eisen will immediately step in to stop the other party's request.

Lin Yuan smiled and waved to Mr. Eisen, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

He also stood up from his seat and said, "Since you are so sincere in asking for my advice, I will show you... uh, my skills."

Giving them some pointers wouldn't require any real effort, and it would also benefit his journey to expand into the Japanese market, so Lin Yuan naturally didn't think of refusing.

Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed, Shangquan Saizhi immediately said happily: "Thank you for your advice. Here comes the sword!"

The sliding door of the box opened, and a sword servant came forward holding a Chinese long sword that had been prepared long ago, and handed it respectfully to Shangquan Saizhi.

The next moment, Lin Yuan pushed away the sword that Kamiizumi Saizou handed over to him in front of Saizou's surprised eyes.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, this sword doesn't suit you?" Shangquanzhai asked directly.

“No, since I’m here to instruct you, there’s no need for Chinese sword techniques.

"Give me a Japanese sword and I'll show you real Japanese kendo. That will be more helpful to you." Lin Yuan replied.

"Nani?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's answer, the three swordsmen could hardly believe their ears.

It is incredible that this young man in front of me is not even 20 years old, but he has mastered the ultimate Chinese sword skills that return to their original simplicity.

He is actually proficient in Japanese kendo?
"Well, give me a Japanese sword." Lin Yuan nodded in confirmation.

In fact, Japanese Kendo, although called Kendo, is actually a sword technique.

However, in addition to the slashing and chopping techniques of the sword, the Japanese sword also often uses the stabbing technique of the sword. These are no obstacles for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, who has mastered master-level swordsmanship and master-level knife skills, knows more than just the usage of Chinese weapons.

In fact, whether it is Japanese or European and American swords, knives, and guns, Lin Yuan's mastery of these weapon techniques is unparalleled in all areas.

After all, these are skills given by the system, and it is impossible to be limited to the scope of traditional Chinese martial arts. How can it be called a true master level?
Therefore, Lin Yuan has long been familiar with Japanese kendo to the point where he cannot be more familiar with it.

The reason I didn't use it before was that I thought it wasn't strong enough.

"This is the famous sword, Doujikiri Yasutsuna. Please use it."

Lin Yuan took the Japanese sword from the skeptical Kamiizumi Saizhi.

"sulfuric acid!"

Lin Yuan looked at the long sword in his hand. It was indeed a good sword. The dark green patterns on the sword shone in the light, and the flowing halo emitted a deadly edge.

Dojikiri Yasutsuna is known as one of the five swords of the world. According to legend, Minamoto no Raikou used this sword to kill the demon god named Shuten-doji in Mount Oe, and thus became famous.

This sword was passed down among the successive shoguns of Japan. Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu all held this precious sword.

It can be said that this sword is a sword worn by people all over the world and can be called a national treasure of Japan.

Therefore, the knife in Lin Yuan's hand, Tongzi Qie An Gang, is definitely not the original one, but a perfectly reproduced contemporary imitation.

The original is collected in the Tokyo National Museum and is also hundreds of years old. It is definitely not in as good a condition as this imitation.

A Chinese man used the Japanese sword Tenkajin to demonstrate Japanese kendo and gave guidance to a Japanese kendo master.

If this were to be posted on the domestic Internet, it would probably go viral and would probably be hyped for many years.

"Look carefully, my sword philosophy is taken from The Art of War, which means 'wind, forest, fire and mountain'." Lin Yuan said, holding the knife in both hands.

He just closed his eyes, as if he was standing by the abyss, calm and composed, motionless yet giving people an unshakable feeling.

"It's as still as a mountain, yet it can transform into aggressive as fire at any time! I can feel the doubled sword intent." Tsukahara Nobutomo exclaimed in amazement.

"There are many people who apply military tactics to kendo, but there are only a few who can achieve this. Incredible! Incredible!" said Liu Sheng Heguang with his eyes shining.

“Even though I don’t understand it, it feels so amazing!”

As an outsider, Nakamura Tsuyoshi couldn't see the trick, but he still felt that Lin Yuan's aura was extremely shocking, like a volcano that was extremely suppressed and about to erupt, which was chilling.

The Japanese are very familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War.

They are also well-known for the words in Sun Tzu's Art of War: swift as the wind, silent as the forest, aggressive as fire, still as a mountain, unpredictable as the shadow, and powerful as thunder.

During the Warring States Period in Japan, Takeda Shingen, who was known as the "Tiger of Kai", had the idea of ​​leading his troops in battle based on the four-character mantra "wind, forest, fire and mountain".

Suddenly, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze as fast as lightning, looking straight ahead.

The transition between stillness and movement is completed in an instant.

Lin Yuan took a step forward like a burning fire, and the long sword in his hand drew sharp tracks in the air with his steps.

The tip of the knife reflected a little light under the light, as if every ray of light contained his will.

That kind of overbearing will that no matter who you are, you will be immediately chopped off by the sword.

Facing this incredibly sharp blade, Ueizumi Saizhi couldn't help but sigh, "If it were me standing across from him, I probably wouldn't be able to block a single blow. But if I could die from this blade, I'd have no regrets in my life."
