……

"Wow ah ah!"

"Even Amon-kun has lost!"

"Mr. Orange has won 10 games in a row!"

Once again, gasps of surprise erupted from the onlookers, primarily from the female apprentices.

Amon is a senior figure in their Chiba Sword Hall, known for his formidable strength.

Such a veteran has actually fallen to Qingdeng's sword... The psychological impact this has on the spectators far surpasses any of Qingdeng's previous victories.

The defeat of the veteran Yamen can be seen as a starting point.

Those warmongers who enjoyed confronting powerful figures developed a strong interest in Qingdeng.

Also showing great "interest" in Aoto were those who wanted to see just how many more people Aoto could defeat, as well as those who, like Chiba Tamon Shiro, didn't want Aoto to continue his winning streak and damage the reputation of the Little Chiba Kendo Academy.

Therefore, the number of people who wanted to challenge Qingdeng suddenly surged.

And these people... are basically outstanding students whose strength ranks in the middle to upper range of the Chiba Sword Hall.

As soon as Yamen took off his mask and stepped back off the field, another apprentice, his face full of fighting spirit, immediately stood up.

"I am Shibayama Sōji! Mr. Tachibana, I would also like to ask you for some guidance!"

Qing Deng glanced at the young man who called himself Shibayama Sōji, then his gaze swept across the faces in the "audience" filled with fighting spirit.

—It seems... I still can't go down to rest.

As the battle progressed, Qingdeng's objectives also underwent some changes.

At first, his main goal was simply to defeat the "Zanako suitors' army".

But now, after noticing that people like Amon, who have absolutely no connection with Sanako, have started to challenge him, Aoto's goal has become to extract as much talent as possible, and... test his own abilities.

Qing Deng is now very eager to see how far he can fight against the heroes of the Little Chiba Sword Hall!

Qing Deng's lips curled up slightly beneath his mask.

Then, with a flick of his right hand, he raised the bamboo sword that had been hanging naturally at his right side, its tip pointing diagonally at the spectators who stood before him, a sea of ​​onlookers... no, at all the challengers who wanted to test the edge of his blade.

……

Shibayama is a "speed-type swordsman" with exceptionally agile footwork and wrist movements.

Relying on his unique advantage, he continuously launched super-fast slashes at Qingdeng, the bamboo sword weaving a dark yellow net with afterimages... But even the best-laid plans can have flaws.

In a fleeting moment, Qingdeng saw a hole appear in the dark yellow net.

In that split second, Qingdeng raised his hand and thrust! The tip of the bamboo sword pierced through the "hole" and struck Chaishan's throat, which was protected by his mask, knocking him to the ground.

……

"Waaaaaah!"

Sanpin Bazang swung his sword like a windmill, but Qingdeng saw through the trajectory of his sword strikes.

Qing Deng shifted his body to the side and ducked, dodging the three-ranked man's two consecutive slashes. He then moved closer to the three-ranked man, releasing his grip on the sword hilt with his left hand and grabbing at the three-ranked man's right wrist.

Having witnessed Qing Deng's impressive feat of disarming someone with a single hand and throwing them to the ground, Sanpin hurriedly pulled his right wrist back.

Although he dodged Qing Deng's iron claws, in his haste to sheathe his sword, he inadvertently left his body wide open.

Qing Deng glided forward, his bamboo sword, wielded with only his right arm, slashing from Sanpin's left shoulder to his right abdomen... a perfect, flawless kasaya slash.

—The 13th one…

Qingdeng began to silently count his "scores".

……

After deceiving Shirahara with a feint, Aoto thrust his left shoulder forward and delivered a vicious "meatball impact" to Shirahara's chest.

The immense force and dull pain traveled through the protective gear to Shirahara's chest. Overwhelmed by the pain, Shirahara lost his balance and fell backward.

Qingdeng's pursuit arrived in response, and he stabbed Baiyuan to death with a single sword strike.

—The 15th one…

[Advanced "Bow Master" Ability]

[“Master of Bows” Talent Introduction: Bowing talent is boosted 14 times the average level]

—Archery?

Suddenly, an unexpected talent was copied.

After hesitating for a moment, Qing Deng asked Bai Yuan in a tentative tone.

Have you ever practiced archery?

"Archery?" Bai Yuan asked Qing Deng with a questioning look as he got up from the ground. "No, I've never practiced it."

—No...?

That's a common occurrence...

There are countless people in this world who live mediocre lives because they never discover what they are good at or what talents they possess.

His talent for archery is four times that of the average person... that's already quite an extraordinary talent.

Qing Deng was considering whether to hint to Bai Yuan to "change careers" and try to develop archery skills, but before he could come up with a solution, Bai Yuan calmly admitted defeat and retreated to the "spectator seats". Therefore, Qing Deng had to give up the idea of ​​hinting to Bai Yuan to change careers.

……

Bang!

The dull sound of footsteps hitting the ground.

The bamboo sword, held high above his head, leaped up with Ma Yue's body.

At the same time, Qing Deng and his sword also jumped up!

Ma Yue's sword and body collided heavily with Qing Deng's sword and body, which were fearlessly charging towards him.

"Well……"

The low, hoarse cry of pain made it impossible to tell who was making it.

The two people who bumped into each other passed each other and stood where they had just been standing.

As the onlookers held their breath and peered intently, someone's body suddenly went limp and swayed, falling to the ground.

The person standing there... Qing Deng slowly sheathed the sword he had just unleashed.

—The 17th…

"Wow! We took down 17 of them!"

"17 consecutive wins!"

"How could this be... all of our seniors have been defeated..."

……

When Qing Deng eliminated the 17th challenger, cheers for Qing Deng immediately erupted.

Qingdeng's winning streak and growing strength in battle have created an unprecedentedly heated atmosphere at the dojo.

More and more people want to see if anyone can beat Qingdeng, and how long Qingdeng can keep winning.

At the same time, more and more people are captivated by Qing Denggao's strength.

As the number of these people increased, the more amazement and cheers Qingdeng received for each victory.

Qingdeng's female fans... that is, his female apprentices, became more and more excited as Qingdeng's achievements became increasingly dazzling, and their shouts became louder and more excited.

At this moment, the female apprentices' shouts attracted someone's attention...

Sanako glanced sideways at the female students gathered in the southeast corner of the dojo, who were mostly looking at Aoto with excited and admiring expressions.

Looking at the female apprentices who had been cheering for Qingdeng since the beginning, Sanako pursed her red lips slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing intently as if looking at a distant world.

Deep within her beautiful eyes, a strange emotion seemed to lurk. In other words, this emotion was quite elusive and defied description with concrete words.

Her slightly pursed red lips, coupled with her beautiful eyes that held a strange emotion, together created a rather charming expression.
