Compared with the past, Qingdeng's upper body strength has increased a lot today.

The reason is that he copied a very useful new talent from Kama Itachi - the explosive power of the waist is different from ordinary people's "Bear Waist".

As the middle zone of the body, the waist serves as a link between the upper and lower parts and can provide strength to various parts of the body. It can be said to be the source of strength.

To put it simply, if the explosive power of the waist is strong, it can increase the strength of the limbs and other parts.

"Bear's Waist" and the "Iron Waist" that Aoto copied from Arima before have the natural effect of "the waist is less likely to be strained, injured, and fatigued", and they are a perfect match.

One is to enhance the explosive power of the waist, and the other is to enhance the durability of the waist... The effects of the two talents are superimposed on each other, so that Qingdeng's waist now provides powerful strength to his limbs for a long time.

Although the strength of Qingden's move really surprised Inoue, he quickly stabilized his mind and the sword in his hand, and did not let the bamboo sword in his hand fall away.

"Drink——!"

Inoue secretly shouted, sliding forward, trying to pass Qingden.

At the moment when the two figures intertwined, the two people, whose bodies seemed to be tightly connected, exchanged another move. This time, Qingto took the initiative to attack Inoue.

Qingden slashed his sword horizontally towards Inoue's chest, but Inoue easily defused it.

The floor made a thumping sound as the two people stepped on each other. The two people who passed each other quickly stood up, turned around, and faced each other again.

There was still no flaw in Inoue's body movements.

"Drink——!"

Inoue let out another sharp qi sound, and with a rainbow-like momentum, he swung his sword into his body.

Although his body is not very strong, he still exerts an aura as strong as Mount Tai.

Facing this 'mountain' that has rushed in front of him, Qingdeng responded calmly.

He took his left foot half a step back and to the left, and at the same moment as he dodged the sword struck by Inoue, he struck with the Kasumi Dan stance that he was good at, and stabbed Inoue's chest with the tip of the sword.

Inoue said that during his return to his hometown, he gained a new understanding of footwork... His words seemed to be true.

Inoue's steps are extremely quick.

Although it's a bit weird to use this word to describe an uncle... Inoue's footwork really reminds Qingnobo of a "ballet dancer."

Inoue concentrated his strength on his toes, and jumped to the side and back as lightly as a falling feather, causing Aomori's sword to hit the air.

"Hoo ho ho..." Zhousuke, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, raised the corners of his mouth with a surprise smile after seeing Inoue's steps, "Not bad footwork..."

It's a coincidence. Zhou Zhu is laughing...and Qingdeng on the court is also laughing at this time.

At this moment, a calm smile appeared on Qingdeng's face.

Under this calm smile, there is a complex mixture of emotions.

Qingdeng was filled with emotion that he was no longer the Wu Xia Amen he was before.

If it were me eight months ago, I would have only been killed instantly against Genzaburo Inoue.

But now, he and Inoue Genzaburo were duel, and he didn't even activate "Lonely".

This shows that in the system's judgment, Inoue is not stronger than him!

This brought a different kind of encouragement to Qingdeng.

——My body is indeed very stiff...!

After complaining a little about his body that was no longer as energetic as before, Qingden let out a long breath, braced himself, and chased Inoue who jumped to the side and back.

I saw Aomori's slender body jumping high into the air without a run-up, and using gravity to knock down the knife in his hand, the blow directly hit Inoue's forehead.

Inoue's body jumped back again as if being bounced away. While jumping back, he sent a sword forward to attack Qingto who jumped into the air.

Although Inoue took advantage of Aoto's leap in mid-air and was unable to change his posture to attack fiercely, Aoto quickly changed his moves and accurately blocked Inoue's sword blade with the tip of his sword.

In an instant, Qingdeng landed smoothly on the ground and stood where Ingami was standing.

As if he didn't intend to give Inoue any chance to breathe, Qingto stepped on the floor with his feet again, launched a new offensive at lightning speed, and strode towards

Slash the opponent's shoulder forward.

This time, Inoue didn't dodge or defend, but went attack-for-attack with Aoden!

Inoue used his light steps like a ballet dancer, and his body leaned forward like a flying swallow and "flyed" towards Qingden, slashing towards Qingden's chest.

Snapped!

The two bamboo swords that were fighting failed to successfully hit their respective targets, and instead got twisted together in the middle.

The two wooden swords clashed in mid-air again, and the bamboo sword blades creaked.

The wind pressure caused by the collision of the bamboo swords blew away the hair at the temples of the two swordsmen, and also caused the candlelight not far away to waver.

The swaying candlelight caused the two figures on the floor to sway gently together, adding a touch of tension to the atmosphere of the dojo.

As agreed in advance, Aomori and Inoue slid forward at the same time, and the two swaying figures briefly overlapped, and then quickly separated.

When the two separated people face each other again, the fierce battle begins again!

Qingden slammed his feet into the ground, gathered enough strength in his waist, and relied on his greatly enhanced waist strength to use the "New Year's Sword Technique", and struck Inoue with a series of slashes like a shower of blows from the above stance.

Inoue also noticed that if he had to fight with strength, he would not be a match for Aotomo, who currently has an astonishing waist strength, so he no longer fought Aotobu with swords, but instead used his own footwork to fight Aotobu.

Inoue nimbly dodged the first two blows from Aoto. Just when Aoto was about to swing the third blow, Inoue slipped his feet and retreated instead of advancing! He quickly moved towards Aoto's footsteps with hidden murderous intent, which made people afraid to

No paralysis at all.

In the blink of an eye, Inoue's bamboo sword had already reached Qingto's eyes. The timing and angle of Inoue's blow were extremely tricky, but Qingto easily blocked it with his sword.

As soon as he moved Inoue's knife away, Inoue had already returned to the original position with his footwork, still maintaining a stable posture without any flaws.

Probably because he didn't want Aoto to take the initiative in this sparring match, Inoue rarely chose to passively withstand Aoto's fierce attack. He changed his stance from mid-section to flat Aoto, and slashed straight towards Aoto's eyes.

A horizontal slash, kicking off the counterattack.

Qingdeng's field of vision was instantly filled with the rapidly approaching bamboo sword.

In this flash of lightning, Qing Deng tilted his head, and heard the harsh sound of wind whizzing by Inoue's empty sword.

Inoue wanted to pursue Aoto...but Aoto's counterattack came!

At almost the same moment when Qingden tilted his head to avoid Inoue's slash, the bamboo sword in Qingden's hand suddenly swung upwards from bottom to top, slashing straight into Inoue's waist!

Because of the strong waist strength, the sword body is wrapped with an unstoppable force!

Inoue hurriedly put his sword in front of him, and with great reluctance, he opened Qingto's sword. As if being bounced away, the two of them quickly staggered away.

At this moment, Ining looked at Qingdeng with surprise in his eyes.

——His speed has become faster...and his strength has become stronger...!

As an opponent who was fighting against Aotobu, Inoue was more keenly aware than anyone on the field: as the battle gradually became more intense, Aotobu's strength and speed did not gradually weaken due to the exhaustion of physical strength, but they were still there.

Keep getting stronger!

In fact, Inoue misunderstood.

It's not that Qingdeng's strength has become stronger or his speed has become faster.

But Qingdeng's body, which had been dormant for two months, is gradually regaining its former vitality!

The muscles in Qingdeng's limbs are quickly recalling the feeling of fighting!

Inoue's face darkened slightly as he knew that he could not compare to Qingdou in terms of strength or speed.

Without any advantage in strength or speed, the longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to him.

So, Inoue clenched the bamboo sword in his palm and decided to fight quickly!

"Drink——!"

Inoue's shadow on the floor once again overlapped with Ayoto's shadow as he used his energy to carry his energy.

Inoue seemed to be tireless, as if he wanted to rely on the next offensive to determine the outcome of this contest, and launched a fierce attack on Aomori like a violent storm.

The tip and blade of the bamboo sword fell like raindrops on Qingdeng's body.

Qingdeng did not escape from this dangerous "rain curtain", but stood on the spot and raised his sword to fight without fear!

The dense clashing of bamboo swords covered the breathing of everyone in the venue, as well as the chirping of crickets and other insects outdoors.

Qingnog, who was desperately trying to defend himself against Inoue's attack, was slumped and looked like he might collapse to the ground at any moment because he could not withstand Inoue's fierce attack.

But if you look closely, you can see that from the moment he started to defend against Inoue's attack, Aomori's feet did not take a step back.

Charging, blocking, rebounding... Qingto, who withstood every attack from Inoue, gradually got used to the strength and rhythm of Inoue's attacks.

I saw that Qingdeng's waist began to exude a strong breath... With the cooperation of the two talents of "Iron Waist" and "Bear's Waist", a stream of strength accumulated in Qingdeng's back.

Inoue's attacks and Aomori's defense seemed endless.

But after all, humans are not robots, and it is impossible to make perfect and error-free actions every time.

The next scene... really happened in an instant.

When the slashed knife was bounced away by Aomori again, Inoue adjusted the direction and angle of the knife according to the force of the shock.

But maybe it was because his spirit was a little relaxed, or his muscles were starting to feel tired. In short, Inoue didn't adjust his sword-holding movements well.
To be continued...
