Ryougi Shiki opened her eyes with a little curiosity, and then saw the golden-red light appear on Li Xuan's fingers and enter her body. Ryougi Shiki immediately knew why Li Xuan wanted to hug her.
-Two-part ceremony
Chapter 348: Katsura Kotonoha's Sword Slash
An indescribable numbing feeling surged from the depths of the soul, accompanied by a strong airflow running through the whole body.
A purple cyclone was born in Liang Yi Shi's dantian, and the golden-red light of the Origin Taoist Scripture continued to dig into and strengthen Liang Yi Shi's newly born internal energy.
Ryougi Shiki involuntarily hugged Li Xuan's body, her face flushed, and she leaned on Li Xuan's chest.
"Hmm~", finally, Ryougi Shiki couldn't hold back her body's instinct and let out a soft hum, which was completely different from her usual cold voice.
After about an hour, Li Xuan took back the internal energy of the Origin of Taoism Scripture and waved his hand. Ram beside him came over and saw the clean and graceful Ryougi Shiki in Li Xuan's arms.
"Ram, clothes," Li Xuan stretched out a hand.
Ram understood and took out a set of pink and white casual clothes from the necklace used for storage around her neck. She bent down and helped Ryougi Shiki put them on, then stepped back behind Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked down at Ryougi Shiki, whose pretty face was flushed and eyes were hazy as she looked at him. He adjusted his posture and held her whole body in his arms.
Beside the cherry blossom pond, a handsome young man stands on the street, with a beautiful woman in his arms sniffing him.
After another hour, with the help of Li Xuan, Ryougi Shiki recovered but did not leave Li Xuan's arms. Instead, she hugged him tighter and looked inward at her body which seemed like a new life.
The purple vortex in her body was flowing slowly, and the aura it exuded was stronger than that of Miyamoto Nobuyuki, the master of Niten Ichiryu Gymnasium, and Abe Mandichi, the head of the Abe family, the strongest of the four great demon-exorcising families.
Opening her eyes, Ryougi Shiki stared at the man she was hugging. This was the man she had sworn allegiance to under Doujikiri Yasuna, and he was also the man who had just given her a power she had never imagined.
She once said that as long as it was a living thing, even a god, she could kill it under the evil eye.
Until she encountered the evil spirit in the family's sealed place, and she had no desire to attack it just by looking at it from afar.
It was also at that time that she realized how ridiculous her words were. The power of the Demon Eye also has its limits.
But now, she seems to be able to practice what she said. Now she seems to be stronger than the evil spirit sealed by the family.
Reaching out to hug Li Xuan's neck, Ryougi Shiki leaned over and pressed her face tightly against Li Xuan. Then a smile broke out on her cold face and she nodded at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth. This was one of the few gifts she could give to Li Xuan at the moment.
Ryougi Shiki took a deep breath of Li Xuan's breath and left Li Xuan's arms, "Young Master, I am going to complete the competition this afternoon and present the final victory for you."
After saying that, Ryougi Shiki picked up the boy's knife Ansuna that was thrown aside when she was being intimate with Li Xuan just now, thanked Ram, and left. She wanted to go back and change her clothes, as she needed to keep these clothes.
...
Shortly after Ryougi Shiki left, Li Xuan also left because Katsura Kotonoha came to find him and the afternoon competition was about to begin.
The first match in the afternoon was Katsura Kotonoha's competition. Coincidentally, her opponent was Aoyama Motoko, who was on the same side as her at noon.
When Aoyama Motoko saw that her opponent was Katsura Kotonoha, a look of distress appeared on her face. She didn't expect that she would be competing against her good friend.
As the referee's voice sounded, the fighting spirit of the two people rose. Aoyama Motoko spoke first, "Kotonoha, I will do my best. I hope you don't hold back. This has nothing to do with our friendship, but a pure competition."
After hearing what Aoyama Motoko said, Katsura Kotonoha nodded and said, "I understand, Motoko. I will learn the swordsmanship of the Shinmei-ryu, please."
Both sides made the prelude to the attack. Due to the strengthening of the dragon chef's food at noon, Qingshan Motoko has now developed internal energy. Although it is only one of the most basic of the five elements, she has already begun to break away from the mortal world.
There were faint traces of red light on the wooden sword, which was difficult to see without careful observation, but the judges in the judges' seats were shocked, especially the three major families who possessed internal energy. Miyamoto Nobuyuki's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to the middle-aged man in martial arts clothing next to him and said, "Master Aoyama, your daughter's aptitude seems to be very high. She has already cultivated "energy". At this age, she seems to be the first one of her kind, except for the second daughter of the Ryogi family."
The head of the Aoyama family, who was named by Miyamoto Nobuyuki, was also confused. He didn't know when his little daughter cultivated the "Qi".
But when asked, he couldn't say he didn't know, so he could only reply, "It's just so-so. My daughter is actually quite talented," to cover up the issue.
"The swordsmanship of the Shenming-ryu emphasizes strength, coupled with the unique Shenming-ryu sword moves, which can oppress the opponent with a tremendous force. The opponent of the second daughter of the Aoyama family, um, the sword-drawing technique is a move of the Shinkage-ryu. At the same level, the sword-drawing technique will have a great advantage, but now, the Shenming-ryu seems to have secured the victory." Toudou Hua of the Hokushin Ittoryu has mastered the sword-drawing technique to the level of perfection, and even the sword-drawing technique of the Katsura Kotonoha family branched out from the Hokushin Ittoryu.
Todo Hana made a prediction about the competition between Katsura Kotonoha and Aoyama Motoko.
“So, Dongtang, do you think that the winner of this competition will be Shenming Ryu?” the reporter asked after hearing Dongtang Hua’s evaluation.
Dong Tang Hua frowned at the reporter's trap-filled question, "It's not certain, but there is a high probability that it will be like this. The Shinkage-ryu's sword-drawing technique is able to become an independent school of its own, so it naturally has its own unique features. If the two people's strength is not much different, then what they are competing for is combat experience."
It was a very pertinent reply. As soon as Dong Tang Hua finished speaking, the two people on the field had already started fighting.
Although he promised Aoyama Motoko that he would give it his all, Katsura Kotonoha only released his internal energy to the same level as Aoyama Motoko. Katsura Kotonoha had tried it in his own dojo, and with only 1% of the force, he directly cut off his father's favorite steel rockery that was more than ten meters in size.
If she really goes all out, I'm afraid this Kendo gym will be cut in two.
But this is a case of bullying others with great strength. Katsura Yanye is prepared to defeat her opponent with equal strength. After all, she has learned a lot of skills other than sword drawing and slashing from her man.
The sword-drawing slash that was so fast that an afterimage appeared collided with Aoyama Motoko's wooden sword, making a loud explosion sound. Although Aoyama Motoko's wooden sword collided with Katsura Kotonoha's wooden sword, what was strange was that a knife mark appeared on the protective gear at her shoulder.
The cameraman who was broadcasting the entire process live in high definition saw this scene, rubbed his eyes, and then zoomed in. This time, even the audience watching on TV could see that there were knife marks on Aoyama Motoko's protective gear even though she was not hit.
"What's going on? Why are there knife marks even though the target hasn't been hit?"
"Could it be? This is the sword energy?"

Chapter 349: New Yin Flow in the Mountains
Unlike the audience watching the live broadcast outside the camera, the reporter was also very surprised when he heard the photographer's exclamation through the headphones, and quickly turned around to ask.
"It's the power of Qi," Dongtang Hua explained.
"Qi? Does this imaginary ability really exist?" Although this reporter is just an ordinary person, his reading knowledge is not low. In addition, he has been in charge of related live broadcasts for many years and has come into contact with people like Dongtang Hua who have entered the extraordinary realm. He has learned some powers that surpass ordinary people.
Internal Qi is a concept he learned from an old martial artist when he was in charge of an underground boxing match a few years ago. When an ordinary person practices martial arts to the peak of ordinary people, if the qualifications are met, the "Qi" hidden in the body will be stimulated, opening the door to a new world.
The martial artist's talent had been the best in his family for decades, and after decades of training in martial arts, he was able to unleash his internal energy only in middle age. Now, in the camera, the girl who seemed to have just reached adulthood was actually exerting her energy. The reporter didn't know how to find words to describe it.
"Since this Shinkage-ryu contestant possesses Qi, can that overturn the inference made by the Dongtang Gym Master just now? Can the outcome of this competition be reversed?" The reporter did not dwell on this question. For him, Qi was something he only needed to know as a concept. Its essence was the brilliance of the camera.
"No, both of them have Chi, and the outcome is still unknown. If the two have the same Chi level, it still depends on combat experience. The swordsmanship of Shenming Ryu is more technical and diverse than the single sword-drawing technique of Shinkage Ryu. My guess is that Shenming Ryu has a greater chance of winning," Dongtang Hua maintained his inference.
He is different from Miyamoto Nobuyuki. Currently, he has only cultivated the five elements and has not yet reached the state of no leakage, so he has no mental power and cannot see or detect the internal energy of the two people fighting on the field.
I turned to look at Miyamoto Nobuyuki, hoping to get his conclusion.
Miyamoto Nobu of course knew what Toudou Hua was thinking. He nodded and said, "The girl from Shenming-ryu has newly born internal energy. I can't tell from Shinyin-ryu, but judging from her attack strength, it should be similar to that of Shenming-ryu."
Dong Tang Hua, who did not get the correct answer, showed a look of surprise. He did not expect that Miyamoto Nobuyuki, the strongest among the three of them, could not see all the details of the two people in the battle on the field.
"So, the Shinkage Ryu seems to be a little different recently, and its speed of development seems to have increased by several levels. Could it be?" Dongtang Hua had a quick mind and quickly thought of something. His gaze turned to Li Xuan, who was sitting in the center of the judges' seat next to Miyamoto Nobuo. Looking at the smile on Li Xuan's face and the expressions on the field, Dongtang Hua seemed to understand something.
"Boom", on the field, Katsura Kotonoha and Aoyama Motoko were waving their weapons, their speed increasing, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. When the weapons collided, under the entanglement of internal energy, a sound of metal clashing was made.
Those from various kendo schools who were watching on the sidelines had deeper practice or had already developed internal energy, their eyes were shining. Katsura Kotonoha and Aoyama Motoko had already comprehended internal energy, and they were both very young, which showed that their aptitude was very high, as high as that of three or four floors.
In the Sakura Kendo world, there hasn't been such talented young people for many years. Although the two are girls, not all Kendo schools have the idea that men are strong and women are weak.
Someone has already started communicating with the gym leader of the Shinkage Ryu, and it seems that he is preparing to let his juniors communicate more with Katsura Yanye and build a closer relationship.
On the Shinmei-ryu side, Aoyama Motoko's father is the owner of the dojo and is also one of the judges this time, so those who want to build a relationship can only wait until after the game.
On the Shinkage-ryu side, Katsura Yanye's father had long known that his daughter was already close to Li Xuan, so he politely declined the idea of coming over to "exchange" the school. He said it was an exchange, but in fact he just saw that his daughter had stimulated internal energy at a young age, and he wanted to take advantage of her excellent bloodline. Although Xiaoying had this custom here, the Shinkage-ryu was now sitting on top of the mountain.
The people on the sidelines were watching intently. They had not expected that the fight between the two girls would be more exciting than all the fights in the morning. Although Ryougi Shiki and Kosaka Shigure also used their internal energy in the final stage, it was only a fleeting glimpse, not as strong as the current impact.
Many dojo masters took this opportunity to teach their juniors a lesson. There is always someone better than you.
Halfway through the ten minutes of fighting between Katsura Kotonoha and Aoyama Motoko, both of them had bruises on their protective gear.
There is nothing wrong with Toudou Hua's inference itself. The Shinkage-ryu specializes in sword-drawing techniques, which are not suitable for long-term battles, while the diversity of the Shenming-ryu's swordsmanship is enough to ensure a protracted battle.
However, what Dongtang Hua didn't know was that Gui Yanye was no longer a single Shinyin-ryu practitioner at this time. After being taught by Li Xuan, the Spirit Snake Sword Technique and the Shocking Waves Sword Technique made up for the defect of her single skill.
Aoyama Motoko, who was fighting against Katsura Kotonoha, was the one who felt the deepest. As a kendo practitioner and a good friend of Katsura Kotonoha, she had often practiced with Katsura Kotonoha and exchanged practice experiences. However, the moves that Katsura Kotonoha used to fight against her now were very different from her Shinkage-ryu sword-drawing technique.
The straightforward sword-drawing technique now actually turns, and with each contact of the wooden sword in Katsura Kotonoha's hand, the force becomes increasingly stronger, forcing Aoyama Motoko to use the Shinmei-ryu's force-releasing technique.
Aoyama Motoko, who was gradually suppressed, was aware of her current disadvantage and decided to break the situation. She gathered the strength in her hands and collided with the wooden sword that was swung by Katsura Yanye again. This time, both of them took a few steps back.
"Kotonoha, I didn't expect you still have this trick up your sleeve. Has the Shinkage-ryu taken another path?" Although she asked the question, Aoyama Motoko did not stop her actions.
He stretched out his hand to grab the spatula, and his body suddenly accelerated. With the help of internal energy, his originally high-speed steps were only captured by the camera as an afterimage.
"Shinming Style - New Moon"
In just a few breaths, Aoyama Motoko closed the distance between herself and Katsura Kotonoha by nearly ten meters, and shouted out one of the ultimate sword moves of the Shinming-ryu. The wooden sword swung from top to bottom, and the blade seemed to be stained with a layer of moonlight, giving off an intimidating chill.
When Gui Yanye saw this scene, her eyes remained unchanged, and the wooden sword in her hand moved from bottom to top, using the Jingtao Sword Technique - Giant Wave Style.
The blade of the wooden sword stirred up the airflow around it, and the blade seemed to be attached to the huge waves of the sea, with a surging momentum.
"Crack", the sound of the wooden sword breaking was heard, and at the same time, the sound of the protective gear shattering was also heard.

Chapter 350: Ryougi Shiki's Invitation to Battle
"I lost"
Aoyama Motoko took two steps back, looking at the wooden sword in her hand that had just broken after colliding with the wooden sword in Katsura Kotonoha's hand, and the protective gear on her shoulder that had several cracks, feeling a little lost.
I didn't expect that even though I had obtained the extraordinary power of internal energy, I still lost.
However, Aoyama Motoko's loss came and went quickly. She knew clearly who Katsura Kotonoha was standing next to and who she was hugging. It was normal for her to have the power to defeat her. Before the competition, Aoyama Motoko just wanted to confirm how big the gap was between herself and Katsura Kotonoha.
Although there was still one or two minutes left in the competition, Aoyama Motoko still took the initiative to admit defeat, so the referee blew the whistle to end the match.
Katsura Kotonoha stretched out her hand and shook hands with Aoyama Motoko, then walked down the arena with her smiling.
Seeing that there was no disorder in Katsura Kotonoha's breathing at all, while she herself was already gasping for breath due to the high-intensity burst attack, Aoyama Motoko knew that the gap between herself and Katsura Kotonoha had widened greatly.
"Yasuko Kotonoha, is your strength due to Xuanjun?" Aoyama Motoko said in a very affirmative tone.
Gui Yanye didn't say anything, just nodded and acknowledged it.
really.
After seeing Kotonoha Katsura nod, Aoyama Motoko showed the expression I expected, and then whispered in Kotonoha Katsura's ear. I don't know what she said, but Kotonoha Katsura's face suddenly turned a little red, and then she reached out to tickle Aoyama Motoko, her friend and bestie, and returned to their small group of girls while playing around.
After a short break, the reporter came to the competition field and saw the marks on the ground. He was surprised and puzzled again.
The material of the arena is marble, a very hard stone. After the morning's battle, the ground was still clean. But now, what the reporter saw were dozens of criss-crossing knife marks on the ground of the arena. Although the depth of each mark was only a few centimeters, it was already very shocking.
"Is this the destructive power of Qi? Even though there was no direct contact, it still left these knife marks on the hard marble floor." The reporter asked the photographer to move the camera to the ground and explained the origin of these knife marks.
Dongtang Hua and the others did not hide the matter of internal energy. After all, promoting Sakura's kendo through live broadcasts and attracting more people to join has always been an important way for them to revitalize the school.
The battle between Kotonoha Katsura and Motoko Aoyama just now was a perfect promotional video. The destructive power was not strong, which eliminated the problem of special effects that others said. Moreover, although the battle was very fast throughout the whole process, it was still clear under the slow motion of the camera.
