Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

"Is that so? I understand." After hearing what the black shadow said, the black-haired young man stood up and walked into the church. A breeze blew through the church, blowing up the sleeves of the black-haired young priest, and several red lines appeared.

...

The next day, at the training ground of Li Xuan's villa in Rizhaoju, Li Xuan was holding a wooden sword, facing Katsura Yanye who looked focused and serious, and surrounded by Asuna and other girls.

"Sakura, the sword art here emphasizes speed and strength, and lacks research on techniques. Kotonoha, the Iai-ryu you and Sekai practiced is a clear example."

"It emphasizes speed and strength, and the external force is the sophistication of the weapon. The core is to kill with one strike. Once it is blocked, you will be in a difficult battle. At present, it is just a fantasy to expect Iai to cut through everything. Therefore, you need to learn other sword techniques to increase your means of fighting the enemy."

Li Xuan's wooden sword easily blocked Gui Yanye's attack. With a turn of his wrist, the wooden sword wrapped around Gui Yanye's wooden sword. The tip of the sword appeared in front of Gui Yanye like a poisonous snake the next moment. While completing the attack, he knocked down Gui Yanye's wooden sword. Li Xuan stopped and started to give instructions.

Gui Yanye showed the same serious attitude as in class.

"This sword technique is called Spirit Snake Sword Technique, a sword technique that has taken the skills to the extreme. Next, I will use it when I compete with the world. Watch carefully." Li Xuan took back the wooden sword, picked up the wooden sword that Gui Yanye had just dropped on the ground, and handed it back.

Katsura Kotonoha went off the stage to rest, and Saionji Sekai came forward with a wooden sword (wooden sword) in his hand.

"Xuan Jun, please give me some advice"

It was still the same Iai movements as Katsura Kotonoha. After Saionji Sekai finished speaking, she took a deep breath and drew her sword instantly. She did not use any internal energy, but simply brought out her physical fitness functions that were beyond the level of ordinary people.

The wooden sword cut through the air at lightning speed and slashed towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's eyes moved, and he instantly saw the weakness of Xiyuanji World's swift attack. He raised and stretched the long sword in his hand slowly, and struck the blade of Xiyuanji World's wooden sword first.

"Snap", the tip of the sword pierced the blade of the wooden sword, breaking all the momentum condensed by the world of Saionji on the wooden sword.

"Just like Kotonoha's, Sekai, your attack also relies on a one-hit kill, and your proficiency in Iai is not as high as Kotonoha's. Look carefully, this is the Spirit Snake Sword Technique." After Li Xuan blocked Saionji Sekai's attack, the wooden sword once again entangled Saionji Sekai's wooden sword, restricting its movement, and then the tip of the sword appeared in front of Saionji Sekai.

After defeating Katsura Kotonoha and Saionji Sekai who were practicing Iai, Li Xuan practiced the Spirit Snake Sword Technique at a normal speed. This was a sword technique left behind by a man named Spirit Snake Young Master in a certain era in Da Xia. The greatest power of this sword technique requires the use of Spirit Snake Young Master's Spirit Snake Sword, but the Spirit Snake Sword had long disappeared under the erosion of time, so Li Xuan made some changes.

"Yes, thank you Xuanjun for your teachings," Saionji Sekai presented a thank you gift, then walked to the other side and started practicing with Katsura Kotonoha.

After the two of them, the one who came up was Altria with her golden hair tied up.

At this time, Artoria looked serious, and the wooden sword in her hand was not the dexterous kind, but a Western two-handed sword.

As the daughter of a knight family, Altria knew that although knightly combat had long since withdrawn from the stage due to the development of the times, among the British nobility, the knightly duel was passed down as a top-level aristocratic exchange activity.

What Altria learned was the two-handed greatsword swordsmanship of the Pendragon family thousands of years ago. This swordsmanship emphasizes large-scale opening and closing, and the requirement for speed is not as high as that of Iai. It emphasizes strength and grasping the timing of attack.

After summoning King Arthur, Altria spent this period of time practicing swordsmanship in the sea of ​​spirits and with King Arthur's spirit every day in order to win the Holy Grail for her man in the Holy Grail Game. When she returned to the villa, except for the time she went shopping and eating with her good sisters, she was working hard to practice swordsmanship.

"Xuan Jun, this is my determination to seize the Holy Grail for you"

"Whoosh", with a powerful and heavy swing, Artoria grasped the hilt of the greatsword with both hands and swung the two-handed greatsword.

Two-handed swordsmanship is just a general term. What is inherited in the Altria family is the complete two-handed greatsword swordsmanship. After swinging, one turns around and cuts horizontally, then steps forward and swings again. After three consecutive cuts, the two-handed greatsword is pulled back, and a straight stab that tears through the air is launched.

Li Xuan changed his swordsmanship this time. Altria's two-handed greatsword swordsmanship was very effective against the one-handed sword used by Li Xuan. The one-handed sword was not suitable for direct confrontation with heavy weapons. The two-handed greatsword was used in the cold weapon era. The two sides on horseback on the battlefield relied on the inertia of the horses and the mass of the weapons, plus the swordsman's own strength, to achieve the goal of defeating the target.

The Jingtao Sword Technique was also invented during a certain period in Daxia by a sword master who comprehended the sword technique while watching the rolling and endless waves on the sea every day.

After dodging the straight thrust of Altria's greatsword, Li Xuan realized that her attack this round was temporarily over, and the wooden sword in his hand disturbed the surrounding air.

On the field, when Altria suddenly discovered that Li Xuanmu's sword was attacking her, a hidden force burst out.

-Gui Yanye

Chapter 328: Wind King's Barrier

"Liya, this is the Jingtao Sword Technique, which can be used with one or both hands."

Li Xuan used the Jingtao sword technique to stir up the air and guide the airflow to wrap around the sword. Then he held the sword with both hands and slashed at Artoria's greatsword. The airflow then burst out, one wave after another like waves, forcing Artoria to step back several steps before stopping.

"Your swordsmanship is vigorous and relies a lot on strength, and you use a two-handed greatsword, so there is no need for you to learn agile swordsmanship. The Jingtao swordsmanship relies on stirring up the surrounding air to add power like waves on the sea. The power hidden in the sword will burst out the moment it touches the target," Li Xuan explained slowly after the airflow on the sword dissipated after repelling Altria.

Altria's own qualifications are top-notch, and now she has the support of King Arthur, a master of swordsmanship with thousands of years of experience. After a while, she comprehended the core secrets of Jingtao swordsmanship.

He grasped the two-handed sword again, and his wrist changed slightly. The moment the sword fell, the surrounding airflow was stirred. As the airflow descended, a scene that surprised Asuna and other spectators appeared.

"Huh!? Why did Leia's sword disappear? It completely disappeared. If I hadn't been watching, I would have thought that there was nothing in Leia's hand," Erza said in surprise.

Asuna seemed to be thinking about something, and then the light of wind element flowed in her eyes, and she immediately knew the answer.

"It's the power of the wind," Asuna revealed the secret of Altria's greatsword's invisibility.

"wind?"

Asuna didn't keep the audience in suspense and immediately began to explain, "Leah just swung the greatsword and the airflow rolled over the entire sword. A large amount of airflow drove the wind element and wrapped around the sword. To the naked eye, it would appear that the greatsword was invisible. In fact, the greatsword was not invisible, it's just that our eyes saw the wind element and airflow."

"It can actually be used like this?" Erza is very competitive. She usually likes to practice kendo with Altria and the others in the training ground. Her style is not fixed, so there is no limit to her in terms of one-handed sword or two-handed greatsword swordsmanship.

Altria, who had successfully made the two-handed sword invisible, was delighted and smiled. She looked at Li Xuan opposite her and said proudly, "Mr. Xuan, you see, this is a move I created based on the Jingtao swordsmanship and the power of wind."

"The wind will always keep my weapon within its coverage. As long as the wind is not dispelled, the enemy will not be able to see the shape of the weapon. I call this trick the Wind King Barrier," said Altria, then she took a step forward and slashed down.

King Arthur, who had become a heroic spirit beside Altria, was very satisfied with the strength of his descendant, the Master of the Contract in this Holy Grail Game. He was able to create such a move that was almost like magic. Even in the Middle Ages, it was a talent only possessed by sword masters.

Li Xuan saw a familiar scene and smiled slightly. Then he also held the sword with both hands and used the Jingtao sword technique, wrapping it with air flow and slashing it upwards.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~", in the training ground, as the two people's wooden swords touched, this time there was an additional airflow, which disrupted the airflow in the field and blew up strong gusts of fierce wind.

"Huh!? Lord Xuan, can you see my weapon? Don't cheat," Artoria was a little confused when she saw that her weapon was actually blocked by Li Xuan, and it was blocked very accurately at the tip of her sword. After performing two rounds of greatsword swordsmanship, Artoria finally asked.

When Li Xuan heard Altria's question, he flicked his sword and explained, "Liya, your Wind King barrier is indeed very good, but when martial arts are cultivated to a certain level, a phenomenon called intuition will appear. Of course, you now have this phenomenon, because of the transformation of your life, your sixth sense is extremely sharp."

"An extremely sharp sixth sense will allow you to detect danger in advance during a battle and dodge it. Intuition is when your life has not yet completed its transformation, but your sixth sense has been cultivated to a certain level, and your body will instinctively dodge."

"The Wind King's Barrier can catch the opponent off guard, but it cannot be relied upon all the time. Because the people summoned in the Holy Grail Game, if they are famous generals who have experienced battlefields, most of them will have this kind of intuition. It's just a matter of strength."

After the two had fought for hundreds of rounds, Li Xuan seized the opportunity and dodged Altria's straight stab. Before she could take advantage of the momentum to launch the next round of horizontal cuts, the tip of the sword touched the core position of the Wind King's barrier.

"Crash", the airflow gathering point was destroyed, and the Wind King's barrier was broken, revealing the covered sword body. However, at the moment the Wind King's barrier was broken, a violent gust of wind swept out from the sword body, and the sound of hard objects rubbing against the ground was made.

"After the Wind King's barrier is broken, you can still launch a round of area attacks. Leah, this trick you created is very good." The two-handed greatsword reappeared, and Li Xuan praised Altria.

In the training ground, the battle between Li Xuan and Altria was extremely exciting. Unlike the power of the Iai-ryu swordsmanship of Katsura Kotonoha and others whose speed was suppressed and whose one-hit-kill speed was greatly reduced, Altria's two-handed greatsword swordsmanship was not afraid of continuous combat. In fact, the two-handed greatsword swordsmanship itself was formed for continuous combat.

In the end, without using internal energy, Altria and Li Xuan fought for nearly two thousand rounds before she ran out of strength and her sword-swinging movements slowed down a little. Li Xuan seized the opportunity and knocked her sword down with one sword.

"Hu~, hu~, Xuanjun, I'm a little tired." After the contest was over, Altria, who had already learned the Jingtao sword technique, sat down on the ground at once, breathing softly a few times.

Li Xuan smiled and threw the wooden sword in his hand behind him. The sword flew accurately to the weapon rack. Then he walked to Altria, leaned over and gently wiped a few drops of sweat from her forehead. Then he held the girl's hand and pulled her up, "Don't be lazy. Kotonoha and Sekai are practicing. Didn't you say that you would go on an adventure with Erza and the others during the holidays? Don't blame me if you are defeated by Erza and the others."

Altria's plan was ruined. She rolled her eyes at Li Xuan, then chuckled, kissed Li Xuan on the face, picked up the two-handed sword on the ground and went to the other side to practice.

"Li Xuan, when are you planning to go to Fuyuki City? I can already sense the presence of two heroic spirits in Fuyuki City," Altria went to practice, and the heroic spirit King Arthur in her body appeared and spoke to Li Xuan.

-Altolia

Chapter 329 Archer Hercules

"Oh? Two heroic spirits have appeared? Can you sense who they are?" Li Xuan paused, then asked.

However, the Knight King shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, because the distance is too far. Only in Fuyuki City can I sense it more clearly."

"Then let's do it tomorrow. Tonight I'll let Rin and Sakura summon the Heroic Spirits, and then tomorrow Sakuya will take you to Fuyuki City." Li Xuan walked aside to rest, his eyes looking at Asuna and the others who were practicing sword or tennis. Even though they were together every day, Li Xuan still felt a little dazzling.

The light was too bright, but he loved watching it.

night.

"Rin, Sakura, come here," after dinner, Li Xuan called Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura over.

Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura looked at Li Xuan with anticipation as he placed the two boxes in front of them.

"Is this the holy relic that Xuan-kun mentioned?" Toosaka Rin asked, but her tone was certain. When they were taking a hot spring bath after training, Li Xuan said that he would let the two of them summon Heroic Spirits tonight, and summoning Heroic Spirits requires holy relics.

Li Xuan had asked Gurefia to bring up the two holy relics. After taking them, he placed them in front of Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura respectively.

"Open it and take a look," Li Xuan pointed at the box. Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura nodded, opened the lock, and the object inside appeared in front of the girls.

A wooden bow full of ancient atmosphere and a snake sealed in amber.

"This wooden bow was sent by the temple in Greece. According to them, it belonged to the mythical Hercules. It can be used as a summon for the Bow Knight, one of the three knights in the Holy Grail Game."

"This piece of amber contains items related to the three Gorgon sisters. You can use it to try to summon one of the three sisters. As for the job, we will see which one it is after the summoning is successful."

After Li Xuan finished the introduction, Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura nodded firmly, "Xuan-kun, leave it to me x2".

Afterwards, the two of them used the summoning array materials that had been prepared long ago in the hall. Toosaka Rin was the first to carve out a Heroic Spirit Summoning Array similar to the one that Altria had made that day. Finally, Toosaka Rin placed the wooden bow in the center and recited the summoning spell.

"The taboo between gods and mortals, those who cross the twelve trials, will kill the eagle on the cliff!"

"Those who respond to the call of the Holy Grail and follow its will and truth, respond to me!"

The moment Toosaka Rin finished her last sentence, the summoning circle on the ground emitted a blinding light, and then a 2-meter-tall strong man dressed in ancient Greek clothing slowly rose from the summoning circle. The strong man opened his eyes, looked at Toosaka Rin in the summoning circle, and asked, "Excuse me, are you my Master?"

"Yes, I am your Master," Toosaka Rin nodded and responded.

"Herein, the contract is established." The sturdy man knelt on one knee in front of Toosaka Rin and said the final contract spell. At this moment, a red command seal also appeared on the back of Toosaka Rin's hand.

Toosaka Rin took the silk gloves handed to her by Li Xuan and put them on, covering the Command Seals. She closed her eyes and waited for a while before speaking, "Xuan-kun, my Heroic Servant is indeed Hercules. The one who responded to the summons this time is the one with the power of his bow, and his job is Archer."

Hercules' originally calm expression changed because of Toosaka Rin's words. He then realized that there was a group of people watching him. He immediately showed a puzzled expression, especially the sharp fighting spirit he felt from one of the blonde girls. Moreover, he felt carefully and found that his master actually had power that was not weaker than that of a Heroic Spirit.

"Master, what is this?" Hercules asked.

Toosaka Rin curiously walked around him twice, observing this sturdy man who was over two meters tall, and then explained, "Hercules, don't worry, we are in the same camp."

The Knight King on Altria's body also showed up and saluted as a knight, "Hello, Hercules, the Hercules of Greece, I am the Knight King of Great Britain."

The straightforward greeting, like that of the knight, made Hercules, who was also upright, immediately clench his fist and punched his chest, "So you are the legendary king of Great Britain. I hope our cooperation will go smoothly this time."

"Good luck," the Knight King stretched out his armored hand and bumped fists with Hercules.

Li Xuan saw that Toosaka Rin had completed the summoning and had already discovered the origin and roots of the Heroic Spirit, so he continued, "Rin, learn about Hercules' Noble Phantasm and his basic numerical skills. When you arrive in Fuyuki City, you won't have much time to prepare. The Holy Grail Game only lasts seven days."

Toosaka Rin nodded to indicate that she had received it, then took Hercules to the side and began to ask him for various information.

Hercules looked at Li Xuan curiously. This man who had no aura of a heroic spirit but knew the detailed information of a heroic spirit, divine power flowed in his eyes as he looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, who was talking to Toosaka Sakura, felt a sharp, inquiring gaze looking at him. He turned his head and saw a golden shadow of a divine bird appear in his eyes, which instantly defeated Hercules' divine gaze. He said lightly, "You are a heroic spirit, and also a dead person. You only need to be responsible for your Master's safety and to win the final victory for her. As for other things, you don't need to worry about it."

Hercules, whose divine power was defeated, had a flash of shock in his eyes and could not help but say, "You are not a mortal. In my time, your current state is a state that only beings who are about to enter the realm of gods will show. Are you a god who is about to be promoted in this era?"

"It's still a long way to go," Li Xuan shook his head, without any intention of explaining.

He should have entered the Tianxiang Realm during this period of the Holy Grail Game. Now his internal energy is surging throughout his body all day long, and Xiao Li Xuan's seal only has one or two runes left. Now, he is just one step away from completing the promotion.

Hercules saw that Li Xuan had no intention of continuing to speak, so he did not continue to ask, because his Master had already begun to ask him for some detailed information. After all, in the end of the Holy Grail Game, only one Heroic Spirit and the Master could win, so there were some information that Hercules could not tell him all.

However, his Master can fully analyze all his information in the next seven days.
