"Let's go shopping together, just in time to show some clothes to Xiaoquan." Joelyan agreed insincerely.

She didn't want to go with Yukinoshita Yono, but vaguely, she had already noticed Yukinoshita Yono's suspicion and targeting of her.

But it was not Yukinoshita Harano who initiated the invitation, but Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just saved her from the trouble. She could not refuse, so she could only reluctantly accept.

"Okay, let's go then." Hiratsuka Shizuka said very freely.

.........

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka and the others arrived at the commercial street, Qingshuiquan and the others had also returned to the hotel by car.

In Deluxe Suite 2702, Qing Shuiquan sat on the sofa and checked the scoring standards of the sword dance competition preliminaries on his mobile phone.

As the founder of "Two Swordsman Style: Sword Dance", he has full confidence that he can get extremely high scores in the preliminary round.

But just in case, it's better to take a look at the scoring standards, so as not to be eliminated by some weird rules set by the younger generations.

If he was accidentally eliminated, Yukinoshita, who knew his true identity, might not be able to laugh at him forever.

Not long after, Qing Shuiquan put down her phone with confidence after reading the rules and scoring standards of the preliminary round.

The rules are all normal.

Although the scoring criteria are a bit cumbersome to read, they are essentially three points.

First, look at whether the movement is standard, second, look at the difficulty of the movement, and third, look at whether the overall movement is smooth and natural.

In addition, the simplified version of the sword dance released by Hokushin Narukami-ryu lasts for 31 minutes and 2 seconds, while each contestant in the preliminary round only has [-] minutes.

This will test the contestants' ability to choose and combine.

218. "Punishment Game"

If you want to get high scores, you need to combine as many difficult moves as possible.

However, in the simplified version of the sword dance, the difficult moves are evenly distributed, with only one difficult move every other section.

Therefore, choosing too many difficult movements to combine requires careful attention to the connection and transition between movements.

If the transition is natural and smooth, and the movements are of high standard, then the score will naturally go up.

But for the vast majority of contestants, this point is extremely difficult. After all, it is a basic exercise form that he carefully designed for his disciples when he reached the peak. How can it be so easy to change.

However, the Sword Dance Competition has been held for more than ten years, and with the concerted efforts of many contestants, many high-scoring templates have been produced.

Out of curiosity, Qing Shuiquan found those recognized high-scoring templates and watched them one by one.

As he watched, Qing Shuiquan's expression gradually became subtle.

First of all, it is recognized that the most difficult template was created by Yagyu Judan.

Yes, that old guy actually participated in the first Sword Dance Competition, and as an ordinary contestant, he fought his way up from the preliminaries to win the championship.

Although there are no restrictions on age, gender, or kendo level in the sword dance competition, it is a bit outrageous for a tenth-level kendo player to commit himself to participate.

But it was also because of Yagyu Judan's outrageous and aboveboard support behavior that the first sword dance competition was able to end smoothly, and it also made a good start for subsequent sword dance competitions.

After that, from time to time there would be some gym leader-level figures with seventh-dan and eighth-dan kendo levels participating, adding a lot of highlights to the sword dance competition.

At the same time, because of the participation of these hall leaders, the sword dance competition has many more high-scoring templates.

The high-scoring templates below Yagyu Tenth Dan were all contributed by these museum owners.

After reading these high-scoring templates, Qing Shuiquan had a rough idea.

He looked sideways at Yukinoshita and asked, "How should we choose our actions? Do you have any ideas?"

Yukinoshita glanced at Qingshuiquan and said calmly: "You are a minister and a genius in swordsmanship. I listen to you."

"Okay." Qing Shuiquan said simply and directly: "Then we will use the template created by Yagyu Judan."

"..." Yukinoshita slowly turned her head and stared at the Qingshui Spring without saying a word.

"Hmm? Is there any problem?" Qing Shuiquan asked with a smile.

Yukinoshita said with deep eyes: "Don't you call yourself a swordsman genius? Didn't you learn the simplified sword dance in three days? Why do you still need to pick up the wisdom of others?"

"Huh?" Qing Shuiquan tilted his head slightly, "Yukishita, are you trying to provoke me?"

"..." Yukinoshita remained silent.

"Ha~" Qing Shuiquan chuckled, "Okay, I will accept your challenge, isn't it just to create a high-scoring template stronger than Yagyu ten-dan? No problem, just give me a few hours, but... ....”

Qingshuiquan looked at Yukinoshita with a smile, "If I really create it, Yukinoshita, you have to accept the punishment game."

"Punishment game..." Yukinoshita'e frowned slightly, seeming to be deep in thought.

"How's it going? Do you want to accept it?" Qing Shuiquan asked with an undiminished smile.

"..." Yukinoshita's eyes dodge slightly.

She knew very well that the punishment game this time was completely different from the final exam results last time.

This time, she had no chance of winning.

but......

Yukinoshita looked at Qingshuiquan with a normal expression, "Okay, yes, if you can create it, I will accept your punishment game. On the contrary, if you do not create it, you will accept my punishment game."

She was a little curious about what Qing Shuiquan would use the punishment game to do to her, and she wanted to test it a little...

"Okay, it's settled." Qing Shuiquan raised the corners of his lips and smiled very intriguingly.

Do you still want to punish him when you know he will lose?

Miss Yukinoshita is really bold.

"spring......"

At this moment, Fumino Furuhashi, who had been a transparent person for a while, gently poked Qingshuiquan's side.

"What's wrong?" Qing Shuiquan looked back at Fumino Furuhashi.

"Izumi, if you win, what do you want to do to Yukinoshita-san?"

Furuhashi Fumino's voice was as soft and soft as ever, but underneath that softness, there seemed to be something unclear.

"Hehehe~"

Qing Shuiquan smiled at first, and then rubbed Fumino's little head with a loving expression.

"Fumino, you really trust me. As soon as the punishment game was decided, you thought I would win."

"..."

Feeling the warmth on the top of his head, Furuhashi Fumino's earlobes turned red unconsciously, and the darkness that accumulated in his heart also dissipated a lot.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I have to start working hard, otherwise I will betray your trust, Fumino."

"okay."

Furuhashi Fumino responded with a soft voice.

Immediately afterwards, Qing Shuiquan got up and went to the empty space in the living room to practice the sword dance, as if preparing to create a high-scoring template.

Furuhashi Fumino was arranging her hair that was messed up by Qingshuiquan while secretly glancing at Qingshuiquan's flowing sword dance.

Suddenly, Furuhashi Fumino felt eyes coming from the side.

She subconsciously looked sideways and met Yukinoshita's gaze.

Looking into Yukinoshita's icy blue eyes, Furuhashi Fumino felt pity for some reason.

mercy?

It's really strange, how could Yukinoshita pity her?She must have seen it wrong...

With this thought, Furuhashi Fumino was ready to look carefully at Yukinoshita's eyes, but Yukinoshita moved her gaze to the clear water spring on the side.

The plan failed, Furuhashi Fumino blinked his eyes and didn't take it to heart.

She turned back and continued watching Qingshuiquan's sword dance.

I have to say that Quan's sword dance is really smooth, and there is an indescribable charm between the sword movements. It is much better than the sword dance videos she has seen on the Internet.

But just being fluent in the sword dance is not enough... The group stage and knockout rounds after the qualifiers are all actual combat. Quan, who has never had actual combat experience, may not be able to go very far...

When Quan fails, how will she comfort Quan?

As his thoughts flowed, Furuhashi Fumino glanced at his flat chest and slender legs with a blushing face.

While Furuhashi Fumino was having wild thoughts, Qing Shuizuan patiently continued to pretend.

The high-scoring template created by Yagyu Judan is indeed very good. From a general point of view, it is almost impossible to change it.

But in the eyes of him, the founder of Sword Dance, there are still many areas that can be optimized, and all he needs to do is put a little thought into it.

After several hours of pretentiousness, Qing Shuiquan finally came up with his high-scoring template.

If Yagyu's ten-dan template is 90 points, then his template is 97 points or higher.

With Yukinoshita's level of swordsmanship, she could definitely tell the difference between the two.

But the brave Miss Yukinoshita suddenly pretended to be stupid, saying that she couldn't tell the difference, and would determine the level of Qingshuiquan's template through tomorrow's qualifying score.

Qingshuiquan didn't care, just tomorrow. Anyway, it would be one day late and the snow wouldn't run away.

In addition, the results of the final exam will be out tomorrow, and there is a high probability that he can give Yukinoshita a big surprise.

219. "So, Yukinoshita will give an answer"

The next day, the morning of July 7, Yokohama City Gymnasium.

Qingshuiquan sat in the audience, watching with interest Masao Mianmei who was talking at the opening ceremony.

Mumemu Masao, one of his former disciples, was the dullest among the five true disciples. Although his talent in swordsmanship was acceptable, he rarely spoke. Sometimes even he would accidentally ignore this taciturn disciple.

Now 30 years have passed, and the once silent and dull disciple has become able to talk and laugh under the gaze of thousands of people. Anyone who sees this change will be surprised.

Thinking of this, Qing Shuiquan secretly glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino next to her. Her ice-blue eyes looked as cold as before, but there was always a hint of emotion in them. .

The corners of Qing Shuiquan's lips raised slightly, and the smile between his eyebrows also deepened by two points.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the ongoing opening ceremony with a smile.

Not long after, Masao Muneme's opening speech ended, and the opening ceremony entered the next stage, which was the sword dance drill with a square formation of [-] people.

Thousands of disciples of Hokushin Narukami-ryu dressed in black and white kendo uniforms danced their swords to the exciting music.

Clothes were flying, swords were shining, and the roars of thousands of people merged into one, making the huge gymnasium tremble.

While enjoying the spectacular sword dance of a thousand people, Yukinoshita unconsciously looked at the clear water spring next to her.

When he saw Qing Shuiquan's eyebrows arched and his face gentle and vaguely showing some relief, Yukinoshita's mind moved slightly and his expression softened unconsciously.

Yukinoshita Yono, who was sitting in the back and witnessed everything, glanced at Fumino Furuhashi on the other side of Qingshui Spring with a subtle expression.

It's a pity that Shimizu-kun's little childhood sweetheart was too focused on the program below and didn't notice the situation around him at all. If this little green plum saw the scene just now, maybe there would be a very interesting reaction.

With this thought in mind, Yukinoshita Yono freed up some of her attention and glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yoel who were standing at the guardrail in front.

This Miss Yoel was very close to Xiaojing today, and she saw clearly Shuijun much less often.

Did he realize that she was doubting, so he deliberately restrained himself?Or is there another reason?

Yukinoshita Yangono narrowed his eyes and continued to pay attention to all the subtle performances of Qing Shuiquan and others.

.........

Soon after, the opening ceremony ended and the qualifying rounds officially began.

Qingshuiquan and Yukinoshita followed the player guide provided by the competition and logged into the official website of the competition with their mobile phones to check the competition venue and competition time of their respective qualifiers.

“下午6:20,37号竞赛场地,需提前20分钟到到37号竞赛场地报告。”

After the inquiry, Qing Shuiquan took the initiative to inform the others for a while.

Then, he looked at Yukinoshita, who had raised his head.

"Yukishita, what about you?"

Yukinoshita said with a cold expression: "Same as you, 6:20 pm, competition venue No. 37."
