Chapter 709: Defeat but Honor
"No one can stop this guy anymore."
Genryusai Shigekuni, who was also watching the match, sighed.
"Teacher, even you are no match for me?"
Kirinji Tenshiro, who was standing by, heard what his teacher said and asked with a frown.
He knew that his teacher's strength had not declined over the years, but had improved instead.
"Only when you actually face Redfield can you understand how terrifying he is. Charles has been completely seen through."
Genryusai Shigekuni shook his head slightly.
"Just run into him once, and I guarantee you'll never want to fight him again."
Only he knew how dangerous the battle twelve years ago was.
Even he needs to give it his all. If he slacks off for a moment, the final result may be his defeat.
Unohana Yachiru on the side kept his eyes fixed on the arena.
Although he is younger, Charles can be considered her junior.
After the Mao Kendo Academy was established, Ciel came to study there for three years.
Charles is also a kendo genius. At the beginning, he only had simple kendo basics, but after only three years, he broke through and became a swordsman.
He then went to the Sky Arena and started his journey to soar into the sky.
All along, whether before or after eating the Speed Fruit.
Charles is very confident.
And now, she could clearly see that Charles was completely stunned and didn't know how to resist.
The members of the Flying Pirates were equally surprised.
Since "Speedy" Charles made his debut, he has never been so embarrassed.
"Luckily, you won't have to face him again in the future."
It is obvious that, although he did not say it explicitly, Genryusai Shigekuni has already expressed that he is no match for Redfield.
"Twelve years from now, I won't just fall in the top sixty-four."
Unohana Hachiru made up his mind and had that kind of confidence.
However, this was also an extraordinary experience. Twelve years ago, she was watching the game here.
Genryusai Shigekuni was also quite satisfied with this kendo tournament.
Because two of the top sixteen are from Mao Kendo Academy, not to mention Kirinji Tenshiro and Minghe, who are his direct disciples.
"Speedy" Ciel is also one of the most outstanding students at the Mao Kendo Academy and has been taught by Genryusai Shigekuni.
However, twelve years alone is not enough for these young students to truly grow up.
Now that the Mao Kendo Academy has been established, Genryusai Shigekuni hopes that more powerful swordsmen will emerge.
But we have to wait until the next session.
At the Kendo tournament twelve years later, there will be more swordsmen from Mao Kendo Academy occupying high positions in the Kendo tournament.
The swordsmen trained over the years will grow further.
Especially those that have been eliminated.
The members of the Lunalia clan who inherited his swordsmanship will also see a dramatic increase in strength.
By that time, there will be more swordsmen from Mao Kendo Academy among the top sixty-four.
Only the Mao Kendo Academy can bear the title of "Holy Land of Kendo".
At present, Genryusai Shigekuni considers it unqualified.
This was Genryusai Shigekuni's goal in the second half of his life.
Reputation is something that can go down in history, and even Genryusai Shigekuni is no exception.
In this ocean, how can one grow without desire?
"Speedy" Charles was eliminated.
Just the beginning.
The fierce competition continues.
The winner goes up, the loser goes down.
There is no points system.
Maybe I'll be eliminated early, but no one cares.
Because the main purpose of the kendo tournament is to select the final champion, who is also the world's number one swordsman.
The next one to come on stage is Styx, and his opponent is none other than Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who is recognized as the man who poses the greatest threat to Redfield.
To have reached this point, Styx's performance can be said to be very good.
The powerful three-color domineering aura, physical skills and terrifying vitality have supported Minghe to fight all the way to this day.
Strong comprehensive strength gives Minghe a higher ceiling. At the very least, in the eyes of Genryusai Shigekuni, Minghe will be a strong contender for the title of "World's No. 1 Swordsman" in the next Kendo Tournament.
Even if not, the next kendo tournament will be.
By arranging other opponents, Styx might be able to win.
But there is no need. In Hades's opinion, a powerful opponent is more conducive to the growth of the Styx.
So he arranged for Yoriichi Tsugakuni to be the opponent of Minghe.
"Blood Sea, Hellfire!"
Faced with such a powerful opponent, Styx exerted all his strength once it erupted.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and terrifying murderous intent, combined with the swordsmanship and spirit of the Styx.
The entire arena seemed to have turned into a sea of blood.
However, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was not affected at all and watched Minghe's subsequent performance calmly.
Yoshiichi Tsugikuni also pays attention to such a young and talented swordsman.
I saw Minghe holding two swords, Purgatory in his left hand and Avici in his right hand.
Invisibly, along the two swords, the eerie blood-red flames continued to burn in the sea of blood.
Then, the flames continued to shrink and condense, wrapping around the double-edged blades that had turned into black knives.
The armed color domineering combined with the murderous aura adds a touch of scarlet color to the dark domineering.
Styx's pupils turned red at some point.
Faintly, black and red lightning appeared around the Styx.
Although he has not yet mastered the technique of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, Styx has already put it into use.
Add as much background as possible.
The blood-red hair fluttered.
The figure of the Styx disappeared in an instant.
The naked eye could only see a flash of blood in the air.
The sea of blood seemed to boil, raising a huge wave towards Ji Guoyuan.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of Minghe wrapped in blood appeared in front of Tsugaru Yoriichi, like a messenger from hell to claim his life.
He did not choose to attack from the side, or from behind.
Minghe knew that it would not work, so he decided to fight head-on.
At this point, the basic goal has been achieved, and enjoying the process is the most important thing for him.
The two swords chopped down, and a crisp sound was heard in the air.
The blood-red flames continued to attack Jiguo Yuanyi, and the terrifying sword intent collided violently with each other.
However, the flames with great destructive power were blocked by the domineering power of Yuichiro Tsugakuin.
boom!
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's body flew backwards dozens of meters.
This time, Styx failed in the attack.
Facing the full-strength attack of the Styx, although Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was repelled, he did not suffer any injuries.
This is just the beginning. With such a powerful opponent, how could Minghe miss such an opportunity to seek advice?
In addition to pure devil fruit abilities and physical skills, Styx used all his methods.
It's just to make Yoriichi Tsugakuni fight seriously.
This battle lasted for a whole day and night.
The Styx relied on its tenacious vitality to persevere to the end.
In the end, he was defeated.
However, the wonderful performance won the recognition of the audience.
Redfield was even more satisfied with the Styx.
The strength displayed by Minghe has perfectly demonstrated the qualities that a hexagonal player should have.
All it takes is time.
The future undoubtedly belongs to him!
