I assembled the strongest swordsman group.

As a result, he immediately lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Well……!"

Gui Binzhou rubbed his buttocks, which seemed to be broken into four pieces, and struggled to get up.

Suddenly, he saw a large hand reaching out in front of him.

He looked up and froze, staring blankly at Qing Deng, who was reaching out to him, as if he had lost his soul.

Without a word, Qingdeng grabbed Gui Binzhou's arm, pulling him to his feet as he began to explain:

"You're on the wrong track."

"'Using the force of pushing off the ground to increase the power of a slash'—at first glance, this seems like a pretty good combat technique."

"But in reality, this is a completely undesirable unorthodox approach."

As he spoke, Qing Deng brandished the bamboo sword in his hand.

"The real thing is very heavy."

"Even the simplest thing, 'holding a real sword firmly and wielding a real sword steadily,' requires a long period of training."

"Therefore, any reliable master will require his disciples to keep their feet firmly on the ground during battle and not to jump around recklessly."

"Only with a firm footing can one maintain a stable stance; only with a stable stance can one avoid revealing any weaknesses."

"Your tactics of jumping around like that are, in my eyes, the very definition of 'full of flaws'."

"I don't even need to draw my sword to easily kill you."

"Therefore, one must carefully manage one's pace."

"Never let your feet leave the ground unless absolutely necessary."

“The waist is the foundation of swordsmanship.”

"Everything else is a heretical and crooked path that can be discarded."

"If you want to deliver a powerful blow, work on your core muscles."

Gui Binzhou blinked a few times, then exclaimed excitedly:

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance!"

Qingdeng's teachings not only delighted the other party, but also excited the other apprentices on the sidelines.

The teachings of the King of Benevolence... their value cannot be measured in material terms!

He possesses both extremely high swordsmanship skills and extensive combat experience—to put it bluntly, Kondo Shusuke simply cannot compare to him.

He is probably only comparable to a very few monsters, such as "Sword Saint" Seiichiro Otani and "All-Round Swordsman" Kiyone Kubota.

If I could receive even a single comment or piece of advice from Niou... even just one sentence would be enough! It might save me from taking detours for years, or even decades!

Thus, the apprentices, their emotions completely ignited, threw themselves wholeheartedly into the challenge against Qingdeng with ever-increasing fighting spirit!

……

"Sakura Yoshitaro! Please guide me!"

As soon as he finished bowing, he slashed diagonally with his sword, unexpectedly aiming for Qing Deng's face.

Qing Deng turned sideways, dodging the attack with ease, and then struck the opponent's body with lightning speed.

"Your lower back strength is too weak."

……

"Yamamoto Ikuba, please enlighten me!"

As soon as the opponent entered the ring, he raised his bamboo sword high, adopted the upper stance, and launched a fast and fierce attack.

"Wa ...

Judging from appearances, this person should have a foundation in the Manifestation Style.

The loud roar was very powerful.

Qingdeng seized the opportunity when the man hadn't had time to retract his bamboo sword after swinging it out, and swiftly struck him, hitting his right wrist where he was holding the sword.

The man's bamboo sword immediately flew out.

"The same problem, your core strength is too weak, you need to strengthen your muscles."

……

"Beiyuan Duanye, come forward!"

Before the sound was uttered, the sword had already arrived.

Qingdeng took a half step back and raised his sword to parry.

After the sword flashed, a "crack" was heard as the two bamboo swords became entangled.

In the next instant, Qing Deng nimbly flipped his wrist, and the sword in his palm slid down along the opponent's blade, striking the opponent's chest.

[Ding! Talent detected!]

"Waist! Waist! Watch your waist! Your waist strength is too weak!"

……

……

Qingdeng relentlessly accepted the challenges from his junior brothers, frantically honing his talent, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Every opponent you encounter possesses a great talent"—this is ultimately just a beautiful vision.

In terms of proportion, Qingdeng can only replicate his talent once for every 10-15 people he defeats.

However, Qingdeng was quite satisfied with this ratio.

Anyway, there are enough apprentices present, even if it's just "1 out of 15", it will be enough for him to leave with a full load!

Just as he was engrossed in cultivating his talent, a graceful figure and a massive, obese figure entered the training ground one after the other.

"Huh? What's going on here? Why are they fighting?"

Okita Hikaru blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, looking puzzled.

Shintaro Toujou glanced at the scene in the dojo and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Yuan Li?"

He stood with his hands on his hips, observing Qingdeng's battle with great interest.

Gradually, he lowered his eyelids, seemingly lost in thought.

……

……

"Haaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

The new opponent adopted a "pig-like charge" tactic, howling and sprinting with precision.

Qing Deng skillfully dodged the attack and then suddenly struck him in the back.

Another defeated person appeared on the floor.

"Your leg strength is okay, but your lower back is a bit weak. You need to work on strengthening your lower back."

As their junior brother, Qing Deng was happy to provide them with swordsmanship instruction.

However, for the vast majority of people, his advice was only one: your back is weak, so you should work on your back strength in the future.

This wasn't him being perfunctory; he was simply stating the facts.

The junior students' waist strength definitely needs improvement.

Ultimately, swordsmanship is just one of many martial arts.

Since it's martial arts, the basic principles are the same—the lower body is very important! The waist is very important!

Most swordsmanship problems can be attributed to insufficient strength in the waist and body.

The waist is the core of the human body's strength.

A strong waist makes you strong everywhere.

It could even be said that as long as one has enough strength in the waist, even if one only has a rudimentary understanding of martial arts techniques, one can become a master!

Qing Deng had seen far too many swordsmen who were fond of "subduing others with force"—Nagakura Shinpachi was a typical example.

Nagakura Shinpachi's swordsmanship skills were actually quite unremarkable.

However, he managed to defeat countless masters by virtue of his innate physical advantages.

This is also related to the swordsmanship style he practiced.
