Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"It seems this kid has also mastered internal strength, the hidden power. This kind of power emanating from within has actually reached such a level!"

This is the biggest hurdle for sword masters: cultivating internal energy. Only with the support of internal energy can one continue to increase explosive power, allowing the body to unleash continuous bursts of energy, and possessing a long and sustained flow of vital energy.

His face was flushed red, indicating he was nearing his limit. If the fight continued, his chances of survival would be slim.

Moreover, he couldn't actually withstand that attack just now. Fortunately, the bamboo sword shattered completely at the crucial moment. Otherwise, his old face would have been completely ruined by now.

Seeing that the other party's expression remained unchanged, he knew in his heart that the other party's internal strength was far superior to his own, and that his explosive power and endurance were far greater. In terms of physical strength, he was no match for him.

"Miyazaki, are you alright?" The three girls rushed over and helped Miyazaki Yu up.

Miyazaki Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, my strength is not completely exhausted."

When Takizaki Kensho saw this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Those two guys over there were even less sensible than a little girl. Didn't they see that he couldn't move now?

They didn't even bother to help themselves up!

But there's no way around it. As a senior figure, you have to keep your dignity up. You can't back down!

He forced himself to speak and said, "Very good, very good! Miyazaki, I already know your strength. I believe you are fully capable of becoming a swordsman. I will immediately start the swordsman trial process. Around next month, we will be fully prepared. I will gather all the swordsmen to participate in this trial. You need to be ready."

This is practically an admission that the other party's strength is enough to be on equal footing with him and become a true swordsman.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. We've had our fight. Now go back. I won't keep you company any longer."

He then turned and left.

Sonoko said strangely, "This swordsman Takizaki is really a strange person. He doesn't recognize people right after the fight."

Ran said, "Sonoko, don't say that. After all, he's a swordsman, so it's normal for him to have a bit of an eccentric temper."

As soon as Takizaki Kenshin left everyone's sight, he groaned and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Vice President Ishida had followed him. He had just realized that this great swordsman must have been greatly exhausted, but he didn't expect it to be this serious.

He caught him in his arms.

"Lord Takizaki, are you alright?"

"Quickly find me a place to sit down! Sigh, I never expected such a powerful little guy to suddenly appear, this is quite unexpected."

At this moment, Vice Chairman Ishida had not yet recovered from the shock.

After helping Takizaki Kensho to a seat, he couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Takizaki, is this Miyazaki-kun really that strong? With my limited eyesight, I can only sense that Lord Takizaki seems to be holding back."

Takizaki Kensho snorted: "It's not that I didn't hold back. I almost risked my life to fight to this extent. In the end, that kid's swords were all imbued with the power to cut through steel. He unleashed over a hundred sword strikes. In the end, I almost couldn't hold on. If my bamboo sword hadn't shattered, I would have been in a terrible predicament for days."

"What? Impossible, right? Lord Takizaki, even if this young man is truly a gifted genius whose strength and speed surpass yours, I can still understand."

But there are no shortcuts to swordsmanship experience! He's only sixteen! Even if he'd started practicing swordsmanship from the womb, he couldn't possibly have more experience than you!

Takizaki Kengo, however, was quite frank: "Whatever the reason, the strength he showed in battle doesn't lie. And what's most frightening is that his strength is still in a period of rapid growth. Kengo is not his final destination."

Vice President Ishida was completely shocked!

"Becoming a sword master is not the end goal. Could this young man have a chance to reach the legendary sword saint realm where nothing can be cut down?"

If that's really the case, his status and power will be beyond imagination. It seems we should start some things we don't want to miss out on sooner rather than later!

After Ran and Sonoko took Miyazaki Yu and Rena home, they left Miyazaki Yu's house. After they parted ways, Ran headed home.

I need to cook for my dad this afternoon, and the timing is perfect.

Before even reaching the front door, he saw a figure standing there; it was Shinichi Kudo.

"Shinichi, what are you doing here? Were you waiting for me?"

Shinichi Kudo looked at Ran with displeasure on his face.

"Did you go to Miyazaki Yu's house again? What's wrong with you? You keep going to his house. And Sonoko too, she's supposed to be a rich heiress, but she doesn't act like one at all."

Ran couldn't help but purse her lips as she listened to Shinichi Kudo's sarcastic remarks.

"That's because Xiaoyu is much better than some detectives. He never stands girls up, always keeps his word, and is always willing to help others, helping me train myself. He's much more reliable than some people."

He especially likes to protect girls. Today, when someone bullied Sonoko, Xiaoyu stepped in and fought off a hundred people single-handedly. Only someone like that can make people feel safe and secure.

Shinichi Kudo's face turned green. What was all this?!

"Such biased behavior is clearly disregarding the law, and it's not an act of heroism at all! This society doesn't need a swordsman, it needs a detective who upholds justice!"

Seeing Ran pouting, Shinichi Kudo covered his face in exasperation.

Girls are irrational creatures, always approaching the world with their emotions. But thinking about what I did before, I really feel bad for Xiaolan.

"Alright, Xiaolan, I apologize again for what happened before. I shouldn't have left you behind and let you come back alone. It was all my fault. Please forgive me. I promise I will never leave you behind again."

Also, haven't you always wanted to go to Dorobiga Park? How about this, we go to Dorobiga Park next Monday.

Chapter 129 Conan's Countdown

At this time, Shinichi Kudo had no idea that this trip to the amusement park would become a turning point that would change his destiny.

Above the underground training ground, a burst of intense gunfire rang out. A considerable number of targets moved rapidly, but despite their speed, they could not escape being hit one by one.

"boom--"

A bullet struck a target precisely; this was the last target, and the counter began recording the score.

"Fifteen shots were fired, all fifteen hits were successful, zero misses, and the total score was one hundred and fifty rings. The shooting performance is excellent!"

"Clap clap-"

Vermouth, who had been sitting in the corner enjoying her wine, stood up. Her graceful figure and exquisite curves were undeniable, even in the dim underground.

"That's amazing! You've only been practicing with firearms for a short time, and you've already surpassed me. I don't know if you're just too good or if I'm just too useless."

She spoke with a tearful expression, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

Miyazaki Yu gently blew on the muzzle of the gun. After the bullet was fired, the muzzle emitted a gunpowder smell, which he liked very much.

No man dislikes guns; guns are a man's source of confidence. The smell of guns gives one a sense of power over life and death, bringing immense satisfaction.

"Alright, Sister Bei, I know you're a great actress, so you don't need to act in front of me. Mystery makes a woman more beautiful, but crying doesn't."

Sister Bei looked at him with a bored expression and pursed her lips. This kid was clearly just a high school student, but he was unusually mature, which was something that made her dislike him.

"You little rascal, that's the one thing that's not very likable about you. I'm a great beauty, you should cooperate with me. Actors need a stage, but the cooperation of the audience is also essential."

After joking around for a while, they finally got down to business.

"You've mastered the basic shooting techniques very well now, which is almost enough for close-range attacks. However, if you want to improve your mid-range and long-range attacks, this alone is far from enough. In the coming period, I will teach you some more advanced shooting techniques."

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "I'm about to become a swordsman, but I'm practicing with a gun here. It's really interesting."

Vermouth smiled slightly: "But the fact is, while swordsmanship is excellent, the role of a gun is irreplaceable. You may not use it, but you cannot be ignorant of it; otherwise, when you need to use it, a fatal flaw will appear!"

She's right, which is why Miyazaki Yu insisted on practicing marksmanship.

To become a true strongman, guns are an unavoidable element. As the most efficient killing weapon in the world, familiarity with and understanding of them is the best way to avoid risks.

"Once my strength improves further, and I can use the edge of a sword to block bullets, I might be able to start trying it out."

"Hey?"

Vermouth was taken aback at first, then let out a heavy snort and raised her chin high. This kid is really infuriating.

If someone else had said that, she would have scoffed. Generally speaking, the speed of a pistol bullet is about 300 to 500 meters per second, while the speed of a rifle bullet is even faster, reaching 700 to 800 meters per second.

Such speed is almost impossible for humans to resist, which is why guns pose an absolute threat to people.

However, this young man's sword speed was astonishing, and his power was also astonishing. Only after witnessing his strikes would one realize that the legendary swordsmen who roamed freely in ancient tales were not just legends.

He can now swing his sword at a speed of 400 meters per second with all his might.

This wasn't Vermouth's imagination; it was actually tested.

This underground training ground, as mentioned before, has many automatic aiming firearms designed to train reaction speed. Although they fire rubber bullets, they can still cause severe pain when they hit a person.

The firing speed is in no way inferior to that of a pistol, although it is not as fast as that of a rifle, but the speed is already terrifying.

Miyazaki Yu was able to wield his sword and accurately cut through every single rubber bullet even when surrounded by them from all sides!

This single move is much more difficult than Kyogoku Makoto catching a BB gun with his bare hands because the area of ​​the palm is large, while the area of ​​the sword blade is quite small.

Even now, Vermouth is still deeply shocked when she thinks about it.

When I saw it, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

Moreover, he is constantly improving, and it seems that the time when he can truly cut bullets with his knife is not far off.

"Hmph, you're a monster, but I don't get angry with monsters."

The two then left the training ground and went to the lounge. They casually opened a bottle of fine red wine, poured two glasses, picked up one for themselves, and handed one to Miyazaki Yu.

Miyazaki Yu casually took it and tasted it with the tip of her tongue.

"Oh? This wine is quite good. Your organization is called a 'wine factory,' and you really do have some good wine."

Vermouth scoffed, "What nonsense are you spouting? Our organization is the Black Organization, also known as the Raven Legion, not some brewery!"

Don't make baseless accusations just because we're named after alcoholic beverages!

It's quite amusing to think about calling the Black Organization "the distillery" in front of Vermouth.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say goes."

Hearing his perfunctory words, Vermouth snorted and decided not to argue with him.

"I'm not going to joke around with you anymore. There are two things you should be interested in. The first is that I found two more bodies through special channels, and they will be transported over next week."

Miyazaki Yu's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much, Sister Bei, I just needed that."

Vermouth said with a look of disgust, "I really don't understand you. Everyone else likes gold and silver jewelry, beautiful women and money, but you have a 'special fondness' for corpses. You really have unique taste."

As he spoke, he waved his hand in front of his nose, as if Miyazaki Yu had a special scent on him.

Miyazaki Yu, however, didn't care at all: "The human body hides many secrets. To find these secrets, you need to study the structure of the human body. The fundamental purpose of all combat skills is to kill. The deeper you understand, the simpler the process of killing will be."

Vermouth continued, "The second thing is that Gin has arrived in Japan."

Vermouth was clearly very wary of Gin; her tone changed subtly when she mentioned his name, a change that Miyazaki Yu wouldn't have noticed had his hearing not been exceptionally sharp.

Pretending not to know, he asked, "You've mentioned him many times before; this person seems quite extraordinary."

Vermouth's expression turned serious: "You're right, he is indeed very special. This guy is the BOSS's right-hand man and has always been one of the most capable people in the organization."
