It wasn't until a moment later that Kinoshita Mai finally revealed her joy.

At almost the same moment, Qingden showed a happy expression of relief.

After entering the store, Kiryu put the carpentry box in his hand beside the shop door, pulled off the white towel on his head, and walked quickly to the counter.

"Tangerine-kun."

When Kiryu sat down behind the counter with the posture of "the boss of Thousand Houses", Kiryu's expression became normal, and he no longer stared directly at Qingto with that oppressive gaze.

"You came here to chat again today."

Qingden took several deep breaths, trying to forget the embarrassment that just happened between him and Kiryu, and then smiled:

"Boss Kiryu, I'm here today to tell you some good news - my body has completely recovered, and I think I can now start practicing the sword-drawing technique."

"oh?"

Kiryu raised an eyebrow, then moved his gaze, carefully looking at Qing Tengzai from head to toe.

"It seems that you are not telling lies...hehehe." Boss Kiryu chuckled a few times and said seriously, "Then what are your plans? Do you want to start practicing the sword-drawing technique today? Or do you want to do it again?

Wait a few days?"

"I want to start practicing today." Qingdeng replied without thinking.

Kiryu is also unambiguous and doesn't talk nonsense.

Seeing Qingdeng say this, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stood up slowly...

"Then...come with me, let's go to the yard."

…

…

The courtyard of Qianshiya, which was not big or small, became noisy for a long time due to the arrival of Qingnobo, Kinoshita Mai, and Kiryu.

Kinoshita Mai stood obediently at the edge of the yard and watched.

Qingden and Kiryu stood side by side in the center of the courtyard. In front of them stood a rolled-up bamboo mat about 5 centimeters in diameter.

"Ji Jun, you should know without me explaining it in detail that our swords and scabbards are both curved and have a certain curvature."

"The so-called sword drawing technique is to use the arc when drawing the sword to create an instant explosive force to enhance the speed and power of the slash."

Kiryu slowly explained the principles of the sword-fighting technique to Aomori, who had never been exposed to the sword-fighting technique before.

Aomori stood next to Kiryu, listening carefully with a solemn expression.

"This skill only pursues one realm - 'Kill with one strike'."

"If the sword is unsheathed, there will be blood."

"The most important thing about sword-fighting is posture."

"If you can't even maintain a good posture, nothing will happen."

"Without a correct posture, not only can the whole body's force not be smoothly transmitted to the sword, but it is also easy for another advantage of the sword drawing technique to not be fully utilized."

"Another advantage?" Qingdeng asked.

Kiryu immediately answered.

"In addition to the destructive power of the slash, there is another terrifying aspect of sword-drawing that can frighten your opponent - it is difficult for your opponent to discern the distance from which you draw your sword."

"When performing the sword drawing technique, either use a sheath or wear the sword on your waist."

"Whether you hold the sheath in your hand or wear the knife directly on your waist, the knife will naturally extend behind you."

"Therefore, without pulling out the knife, it is difficult for the opponent to accurately estimate the length of the knife, and thus cannot accurately predict the distance of your attack."

"On the other hand, you know how long your sword is and the breadth of your attack distance. Therefore, once a war begins, it is obvious which side has the advantage and can better grasp the initiative on the battlefield."

"Compared with other schools of sword-drawing techniques, the most significant difference between my Liuguang and my Liuguang is that my Liuguang attaches great importance to the force brought by the sword's own weight when it is unsheathed."

"This is the secret why my streamer has such strong speed and power."

"Our knives are very heavy. If you don't hold the knife properly when you pull it out with force, the knife may fly out of your sheath under the influence of its own weight."

"But on the other hand, if you can use the weight of the knife for your own use, the power and speed of your cuts will be greatly increased."

"So to put it simply, Liuguang is a sword-drawing technique that pays great attention to the use of the weight of the sword."

"Whether you can practice Liuguang well... depends on whether you can understand and use the weight of the knife."

"Now, let me demonstrate the streamer and watch my movements carefully."

After saying that, Kiryu spread his legs leisurely, held the scabbard of the sword on his waist with his left hand, and rested his relaxed right hand gently on the handle of the sword.

Seeing this, Qingto quickly stood aside for a few steps, widening the distance between him and Kiryu.

The sword Kiryu wears on his waist is the same one he saw when he fought against Kamaitachi. The handle and scabbard are both black and purple, and the blade reflects the strange purple light under the moonlight.

Kiryu adjusted his breath, lowered his body weight, relaxed his shoulders, stepped on his legs and feet, and just looked at the rolled up bamboo mat standing in front of him.

The moment Aoden blinked, Kiryu drew his sword.

Close your eyes, open your eyes...it only takes such a short time, but the scene in front of you has already changed.

The bamboo mat was missing a small section, but the cut was incredibly neat.

Kiryu twisted his waist, stepped forward and crouched down, the sword flashed, and the ground became dark - all of this happened in just a split second.

The cut off piece of bamboo mat flew out sideways and landed at Kinoshita Mai's feet.

Kiryu maintained his sword-drawing posture, with the sword in his hand raised high.

The sharply curved blade glowed purple in the sunlight.

"How? Have you seen everything clearly?"

Although Qingto accidentally blinked his eyes when Kiryu just drew the sword, relying on the excellent dynamic vision brought by his "Eagle Eye", Qingto could barely see Kiryu's movement of the sword clearly.

Qingdeng nodded: "Well... I can see clearly now."

"Okay, just see clearly."

Kiryu turned his right hand and made a graceful sword dance, then held the sword in his backhand and sheathed the sword.

"Now try to imitate what I did just now and use the sword-drawing technique to chop this bamboo mat."

Qingteng nodded absently - Qingteng's attention was now focused on Kiryu's right hand and the knife at his waist.

——Sheathing the knife is so cool...

…

Qingto gathered his thoughts and stood where Kiryu was standing just now.

Qingto, with his eyes closed, tried hard to recall the actions of Kiryu he just saw.

——I remember... Boss Kiryu seems to be so low-key...

——Then...the body should stand slightly sideways like this...the arms should not be spread too wide...

The three major talents of "Sword Talent", "Ghost Heart" and "Shen Gathering" are activated at the same time at this moment!

Qingden slowly opened his eyes and stared closely at the bamboo mat in front of him that had been chopped off by Kiryu.

The long breath he exhaled became more and more concentrated... Soon, the only thing left in the world before Qingden's eyes was this bamboo mat.

At this moment when mind, energy and body were united, Qingdeng boldly drew out his sword!

Buzz…!

The Dingguishen that popped out of its sheath made a sharp sound of breaking wind and flew toward the bamboo mat!

Crack!

Just like the sound of a cloth bag being cut, a small section of the poor bamboo mat was chopped off again.

However... even though Aomori succeeded in cutting off the bamboo mat, any layman could tell that the level of Aomori's chop was far behind Kiryu's.

Just looking at the cuts on both sides reveals a huge level gap.

Kiryu's cut is quite smooth, so smooth that it doesn't look like it was cut with a knife.

Qingdeng's incision is very rough.

However, although Qingteng's attack is not very good, one thing must be made clear in advance - this is Qingteng's first time using the sword-drawing technique.

"Oh..." Kiryu's eyes behind his lenses flashed with a faint light of surprise.

"Good job." Kiryu walked over and picked up the piece of bamboo mat that Qingto had just chopped away. "Your movements were even better than I expected."

"I was a little surprised that the streamer was able to perform at such a level when I tried it for the first time."

"Your arms were spread a little too far just now, please tighten them a little more..."

Kiryu patiently corrected Aoden's movements.

Finally, Kiryu stood aside, took a few bamboo mats prepared early in the morning and placed them on the edge of the yard. He rolled up the bamboo mats and lined them up in front of Qingden.

"You can practice freely now."
