Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Although each school's dojo has its own exclusive position, gender often automatically forms factions. And because they are all kendo, there are often various kendo competitions. The relationship between female kendo practitioners such as Kawazoe and Tamaki is generally very good.

Motoko Aoyama is a player of the Kyoto Shinmei-ryu. Since the Kawazoe family also has a dojo in Kyoto, she and Kawazoe-Tamahime often practice together. When she saw Kawazoe-Tamahime lose, she immediately came up to comfort her.

"Thank you, Motoko. It seems that my practice is not enough. Next, I need to work harder. After all, I have to take on the responsibility of Kawazoe Dojo and seize the title of the number one swordsman in Kyoto." Kawazoe-Tamahime was comforted by Aoyama Motoko and quickly recovered with a blazing flame of struggle in her eyes.

"The second match will be held in five minutes. It will be between Kosaka Shigure of Liangshanpo Dojo and Ryogi Shiki of Ryogi family." The referee came up and announced the five-minute preparation time and the next contestants.

Chapter 343 Weapon Master - Kosaka Shigure

"Liangshanpo? Liangyi?" When Li Xuan heard these two names, he showed an interested expression. He was also familiar with these two people.

Miyamoto Nobuyuki saw Li Xuan's interest and immediately started introducing him.

Liangshanpo is an organization of martial arts masters in Kozakura. Its leader is Hayato Furinji, who has been undefeated in the Kozakura martial arts world for decades. He is a pyramid figure in the Kozakura martial arts world. As more and more martial arts masters gather in Liangshanpo, it gradually becomes a martial arts school. Kosaka Shigure is the representative of swordsmanship in Liangshanpo.

The Ryogi family is one of the four great demon-exorcising families inherited from ancient times in Kyoto. They are good at exorcising demons with the sword. The second daughter of the Ryogi family in this generation is named Ryogi Shiki. She is already well-known for her talent among the new generation of Kyoto kendo. She has basically no rivals among her peers, and her eyes can always accurately find the opponent's flaws.

After hearing Miyamoto Nobuyuki introduce the two schools, Li Xuan nodded, then looked at the two people who walked onto the field.

The sword aura of these two people is stronger than the two in the previous match.

"Huh, interesting." There was a faint golden light flowing in Li Xuan's eyes, and then he seemed to see something and said "interesting".

"Master Li Xuan, is there anything special about the two people below?" Miyamoto Shin and his companions had briefly paid attention to the new generation of kendo newcomers here in Sakura. Unfortunately, so far, very few of them could catch their eyes. Moreover, although they didn't want to admit it, their three major schools still insisted on the concept that only men were worthy of intensive training.

Li Xuan knocked on the table and said calmly, "The second daughter of the Liangyi family has two people in one body. Her eyes are an excellent talent in kendo."

"The one from Liangshanpo walks in an orderly rhythm and has made her own way. However, she is no match for the one from Liangyi family."

Before each round of preparations for Miyamoto Nobuyuki and his team, reporters would come to interview the judges about their opinions on the two contestants who were about to start, and ask about some predicted trends for victory. This time, the reporters found that after Li Xuan, a young man with an impeccable appearance, finished speaking, the leaders of the three major kendo schools all fell into deep thought, and then nodded in agreement with Li Xuan's opinion.

The reporter was also preparing to interview this young man who had unified the views of the leaders of the three major schools, but the competition below had already begun.

Both of them are women. Kosaka Shigure has a hot body. The protective gear she wears for the kendo competition is propped up, and the wooden sword at her waist is one-third shorter than a normal sword.

Ryougi Shiki on the opposite side was much slimmer, and the wooden sword on her waist was also shorter than a regular sword, only half the length.

"The competition begins"

At the referee's command, both sides instantly attacked each other.

Kosaka Tokie drew the wooden sword from his waist and slashed it like flowing water, cutting through the air. The speed and power contained in this attack alone were greater than that of Kiritani Kazuto's attack just now.

Faced with this lightning-fast attack, the calm Ryougi Shiki simply made a simple upward move, and the tip of the wooden sword accurately hit the blade of Kosaka Shigure.

The wooden sword in Kosaka Shigure's hand trembled, and the power of the sword-drawing slash was destroyed, and the subsequent offensive could not continue. The wooden sword spun and collided with the attack from Ryougi Shiki. The two were pushed back two steps by the power of both sides.

Kosaka Shigure learned the skills of a weapon master. Although he did not focus on kendo, he was able to learn by analogy and reached a level that ordinary people could hardly reach.

The sword-drawing and slashing attack used for the first attack did not work. Kosaka Shigure changed her wooden sword moves, and the wooden sword in her hand was like a spear, stabbing, picking, sweeping, and plucking. The moves she used were clearly using the wooden sword as a spear.

Ryougi Shiki frowned as she faced Kosaka Shigure's changing moves. Her eyes were very unique. When she was very young, as long as she concentrated her mind, she could see some faint lines on objects. If she cut off one of the lines, the object would be damaged, and in the worst case, the object would be directly destroyed.

Facing Kosaka Shigure's attack, Ryougi Shiki concentrated from the beginning and captured the lines of Kosaka Shigure's wooden sword attack. Although there were only one or two, her wooden sword directly cut off one of them, blocking Kosaka Shigure's attack and subsequent offensive, forcing her to change her moves.

Facing the attack after Kosaka Shigure changed her moves, Ryougi Shiki discovered a problem: her wooden sword was a bit short. Now Kosaka Shigure was using her sword to perform spear techniques, and Kosaka Shigure's wooden sword was several inches longer than Ryougi Shiki's. This resulted in Ryougi Shiki seeing the lines, but the wooden sword in her hand was difficult to cut off Kosaka Shigure's force point.

Seeing that Ryougi Shiki could only passively defend under his attack, Kosaka Shigure became more motivated.

The two of them were very fast. After dozens of rounds, Kosaka Shigure seized the flaw in Ryougi Shiki's defense and swung away her defensive wooden sword, leaving a mark on Ryougi Shiki's protective gear.

Ryougi Shiki reacted quickly. When the wooden sword was knocked away, she lowered her body in the same direction, supported herself on the ground with one hand, and held the sword with her backhand to avoid the next stabbing attack from Kosaka Shigure. In the moment they passed each other, the wooden sword left a mark on the protective gear on Kosaka Shigure's waist.

Kosaka Shigure was not surprised when she was hit in the waist. She had already figured out how to deal with Ryougi Shiki. She just needed to rely on the length of her weapons to suppress her. The long weapon moves were mainly guns and sticks.

Kosaka Shigure made a clever turn and caught up with Ryougi Shiki in two steps. His wooden sword turned into a stick and swept it across the protective gear on Ryougi Shiki's back.

Turning over and standing up, there was a hint of purple light slowly flowing in Ryougi Shiki's eyes. She estimated the time in her mind and found that it was less than half of the agreed end time of the competition.

"Ori, I leave it to you," Ryougi Shiki said in her heart.

"Don't worry, I should be the one to handle this kind of offensive battle," a masculine voice soon sounded in Ryougi Shiki's mind.

When Ryougi Shiki discovered that her eyes were special, the "person" named Ori also appeared in her mind at the same time. Her parents knew about Ryougi Shiki's abnormality and told her that this was one of the prices the Ryougi family paid to obtain the power to exorcise demons.

At a certain period of time, Ryougi Shiki needs to decide whether to be a female or a male. Becoming a female is the current Ryougi Shiki, and being a male is the "Weaving" that Ryougi Shiki exhales in her heart now.

The two yin and yang rituals are yin, representing women, while the two yang and yang rituals are yang, representing men.

The eyes of the Yomiuri family are demon eyes, which can see evil spirits and exercise the power to repel demons. This is a huge factor in the Yomiuri family becoming one of the four major demon-repelling families.

"Here it comes," Li Xuan, who was sitting on the judges' panel, clearly saw the changes in Ryougi Shiki's body. Her aura changed from gentle like water in the previous second to as strong as fire in the next second.

Chapter 344: Two-Tier Ceremonial

"Um!?"

Kosaka Shigure was unaware of the changes in Ryougi Shiki's body, but as a martial arts master, Kosaka Shigure quickly noticed the changes in her aura.

"The realm of movement and the realm of stillness?" Kosaka Shigure fought with Ryougi Shiki, who suddenly changed her attack style. She was pushed back five or six steps by the power transmitted from Ryougi Shiki before she stopped. She had seen this kind of momentum, which was gentle in one second and fierce in the next, in the great elder of Liangshanpo.

On the other hand, after repelling Kosaka Shigure, Ryougi Shiki caught up and took the initiative to attack, swinging her wooden sword at high speed, with a bit of the Kamikaze style in it.

"With this kind of change in momentum, could it be that the girl from the Ryougi family has mastered the realm of movement and stillness?" The experienced judges on the jury saw the changes in Ryougi Shiki's attacks, and thus inferred a realm that is very difficult to reach in the realm of martial arts practice.

People with excellent martial arts talent will touch upon their personal fighting style after they have practiced martial arts to a certain level. Those with an impatient temperament will fight violently, and eventually they will have the opportunity to touch the realm of movement; those with a calm temperament will fight neither impatiently nor impatiently, and eventually they will have the opportunity to touch the realm of stillness; and Ryougi Shiki seemed to have successfully practiced both realms, which made some judges find it incredible.

Only Li Xuan and Ryougi Shiki's parents know what Ryougi Shiki is like now.

When Miyamoto Nobuyuki saw this, he remembered what Li Xuan had just said. He turned around and asked, "Master Li Xuan, you just said that the second daughter of the Liangyi family has two people in her body. Could it be related to the current situation?"

Miyamoto Nobuyuki and people from the other two major schools have cultivated internal energy, so they can see more clearly that the second daughter of the Yoji family did not comprehend the realm of movement and stillness, but her fighting style suddenly changed. Miyamoto Nobuyuki, who had the highest cultivation level, did not see any artistic conception related to the realm of movement and stillness from Yoji Shiki.

"Literally, this girl has two positive and negative consciousnesses in her body, representing water and fire, yin and yang, so her fighting style will be polarized. Her eyes can autonomously enter an extraordinary state. As long as the opponent's cultivation is not much higher than hers, they will not be able to escape being seen through by her in a fatal point in a battle," Li Xuan added to what he had just said.

"I see. I didn't expect such a bizarre thing to happen. As for the eyes, I have read records about the four major demon-exorcising families. The cursed magic eye of the Yoji family is their demon-exorcising power." Although Miyamoto Nobuyuki could not see as clearly and carefully as Li Xuan, he still knew about the magic eye of the Yoji family from the classics passed down by the school for many years.

"Devil's eye?" Li Xuan's curiosity was aroused when he heard Miyamoto Nobuyuki's words. How could this power that was almost like a law become a cursed devil's eye?

Miyamoto Nobuyuki did not keep anyone in suspense and directly told everyone what he knew about the Ryogi family's magic eye.

The Liangyi family is the family responsible for slaying demons among the four major demon-exorcising families. There is a small probability that their descendants will have the Demon Eye, which allows the holder to have the power to kill anyone who is slain. All targets slain by the holder of the Demon Eye will die. It is a very terrifying ability.

Correspondingly, the owner of the magic eye of the Liangyi family will be cursed. People who have long-term contact with it will gradually become weak and develop various diseases that cannot be cured. Only by staying away from the owner of the magic eye can they gradually recover.

"The owner of the Mystic Eye in the Yoji Family seems to exist as a consumable for slaying demons. Although the Mystic Eye is very powerful, this girl probably survives in isolation in the Yoji Family. She may die in a battle with evil spirits, and then leave a name in the Yoji Family's genealogy," Miyamoto Nobuo said here with a bit of sympathy.

On the field, after Ryougi Shiki replaced "Ori", her swift and fiery offensive forced Kosaka Shigure to the point where she could only defend herself. After all, a weapon master is still subject to the limitations of ordinary people. Even in the eyes of ordinary people, Kosaka Shigure's attack speed left afterimages and her offensive skills were dazzling, but under Ryougi Shiki's magic eyes, there was still a gap of several levels.

Even at the last moment, Kosaka Shigure took a step towards the current realm and inner energy was born in his body, but the nascent inner energy was simply not enough to counter the power of Ryougi Shiki's Mystic Eyes.

"Beep, the game is over, the final result, Ryougi family - Ryougi Shiki wins"

There were only a few traces of the protective gear on Ryougi Shiki's body, while there were dozens of traces on Kosaka Shigure's body. What was unbelievable to the spectators was that at the last moment, Ryougi Shiki tapped a certain position of Kosaka Shigure's sword, and Kosaka Shigure's wooden sword shattered into countless pieces.

"The wooden...the wooden sword actually broke, with just a slight touch?", the reporter who was filming the live broadcast with the camera crew spoke, his tone full of surprise and incomprehension.

He didn't understand how the wooden sword in the hands of the Liangshanpo weapons master with an excessively good figure broke into pieces. If it was a problem with the quality of the wooden sword, then how to explain the intact wooden sword in the hands of her opponent, Ryougi Shiki of the Ryougi family?

The reporter came to the judges' seat with questions and asked.

Miyamoto Nobuyuki looked at Li Xuan and found that he had no intention of speaking, so he explained, "It's the control of strength."

"Strength? Is it the kind of strength described in martial arts textbooks?" This reporter has been broadcasting kendo conferences live for many years. He himself has also studied some basic theories about martial arts and knows the existence of strength.

It's not something fancy, it's just another name for human strength. People who practice martial arts can gradually and accurately control the strength of their own power. In kendo, the strength can often be seen from the degree of damage to the weapons of the attacking parties. Strength can be transformed into a destructive force by strengthening the body through practice.

"That's right. The girl from the Liangyi family was stronger than the girl from Liangshanpo, and she accurately injected her own strength into the wooden sword of the Liangshanpo girl, which then exploded, resulting in the situation just now," Miyamoto Nobuyuki said a method that ordinary people can also do.

However, what he actually thought of in his mind was the power of the Demon Eye, and he was very sure that it was the power of the Demon Eye that Ryougi Shiki used just now. From the moment Ryougi Shiki changed her fighting style, according to Li Xuan, the other personality in her body took over her physical will, and that kind of attack could always break through Kosaka Shigure's defense.

The aura of the two was not much different. If it weren't for the help of the Demon Eye, Miyamoto Nobuyuki couldn't imagine how Ryougi Shiki won the game. He looked at Li Xuan with a questioning look, and Li Xuan just nodded slightly, which confirmed Miyamoto Nobuyuki's guess.

-Two-part ceremony

Chapter 345 Sensible Liu Quan

On the field, Ryougi Shiki and Kosaka Shigure bowed to each other, indicating that the two had reconciled after this competition.

Afterwards, she walked down from the arena, and Ryougi Shiki walked in front. With her short black hair that was longer than her ears, she regained the soul of "Shiki". Her temperament became as calm as water again, and her pretty face with a slightly heroic look did not have the joy after winning, but a calm feeling.

"The magic eyes of the Ryougi family are indeed powerful. Even though I have awakened the 'Qi' that the great elder mentioned, I am still no match for you." Kosaka Shigure did not feel lost after the defeat. Instead, she followed behind Ryougi Shiki and spoke words of praise.

Ryougi Shiki paused, turned around and looked at Kosaka Shigure, whose size was three times hers, and said calmly, "Why, after losing to me, do you want to regain your confidence in this area?"

Ryougi Shiki's personality is a bit reckless and ruthless. When she saw Kosaka Tokigure taking off all his protective gear and his exaggerated body shape that made her almost doubt her life, she instantly thought of this reason.

"Ah? Are you talking about this? I don't think this is an advantage. It's like carrying two weights when I exercise. It's a burden. I've tried many methods, but I just can't lose weight," Kosaka Tokie said with a bit of a naive look and a distressed expression on her face.

When Ryougi Shiki heard this, she turned and left, the slight joy of victory in her heart gone.

When Kosaka Shigure saw Ryougi Shiki leaving, he hurriedly followed her and said, "Next time, I will definitely defeat you next time. When I finish my training, I will come to Ryougi's house to find you."

"Hehe, since you know about the evil eye and still dare to come to me, just don't blame me if you die," Ryougi Shiki paused and walked back to Ryougi's house. Her place was independent, separated from the other people in Ryougi's family by one room.

...

The game continued, and what happened afterwards was quite standard. There was no more dazzling battle like the one between Ryougi Shiki and Kosaka Shigure.

Before noon, a school and figure that Li Xuan was very familiar with appeared, the Feitian Yujian School.

However, the contestant was not the Battousai with a cross on his face, but a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old with a handsome appearance and an amazing sword-drawing skill.

After this competition, there will be a halftime break and another competition will be held in the afternoon, and Katsura Yanye's competition will also be in the afternoon.

After rejecting the lunch invitation from Miyamoto, Shin and the other two, Li Xuan returned to the most luxurious room in the Kendo Hall. He opened the door and saw Kotonoha Katsura, Sekai Saionji, and several beautiful girls already talking and playing inside.

After seeing Li Xuan coming in, Gui Yanye walked over and hugged Li Xuan's arm, and then introduced to Li Xuan several beautiful girls she had invited.

Among them were the defeated Kawazoe Tamaki and Aoyama Motoko who was comforting her off the court, and another one who Li Xuan had not noticed just now, with long purple hair and the temperament of a Yamato Nadeshiko, the daughter of the Busujima Dojo, Busujima Yaji.

The others were descendants of various major schools and dojo. Li Xuan smiled and greeted them.

The moment they saw Li Xuan push open the door and come in, Dokujima Yazi and the others felt their hearts beating wildly. This feeling was so wonderful that it made the group of kendo girls stop playing and act reserved. They knew Li Xuan's background from their good friend Gui Yanye.

"There's no need to be so formal. You are good friends of Kotonoha and Sekai, just relax. I'm not a man-eating monster," Li Xuan sat down and looked at these beautiful kendo girls.

Seeing that Li Xuan did not have any aura of a superior, Dudao Yazi and the others relaxed. However, even though Li Xuan said so, his natural temperament still brought them considerable pressure and attraction.
