His brother was Tadatsuki Kanazawa, who was the captain of the second division of the Hofu Thieves Kai at the time. His father and his ancestors had all held high positions in the Hofu Thieves Kai. They were a family with a deep connection with the Hofu Thieves Kai.

As for Kanazawa Qin's swordsmanship... this is what Aonto heard: She is so talented that more than 90% of the men in the Chiba Sword Hall are no match for her.

——It turns out that she is that Kanazawa Qin...

Qingden turned his eyes and looked at Kanazawa Qin, who was standing directly opposite him, carefully from head to toe several times.

The first impression Qing Deng had on this woman's appearance was that "she is really a good material for practicing martial arts."

Kanazawa Qin is very tall. As a woman, and a woman from the Edo period in Japan, she is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with long hands and long legs.

With such a height... if a man shorter than her didn't have superb skills, he might not even have a chance to get close to her.

That Kanazawa Qin is actually going to challenge Aoto... There are a lot of discussions in the "auditorium".

Many people cheered up, stretched their necks, poked their heads out, and looked at Qingto and Kanazawa Qin on the court with great interest.

Nioh and the strongest female swordsman in their Little Chiba Sword Hall besides Sanako... This kind of showdown is really exciting!

For Qingdeng, it doesn't matter who is playing, male or female.

"Please advise!" Qingden played a strong voice that made the dojo lively again.

…

…

Kanazawa Qin, who had put on protective gear, gave Qingto a surprise as soon as she started fighting - as a woman, she adopted the upper-level posture of "focusing on offense and ignoring defense" from the beginning of the contest.

Qingdeng's cheeks had just turned pale when a sharp cry like a sharp blade pierced his eardrums.

"Drink ahhhhhhhhhhh-!"

The kiai of the Kanazawa harp is not inferior to that of an adult male in terms of pitch or loudness.

Kanazawa Qin stepped forward.

Seeing this, Qingdeng raised his sword to defend himself.

The bamboo knives struck each other and separated.

The two figures stepped forward as if being pulled by swords, passing each other and opening up a distance of nearly three steps in one breath.

Qingdeng quickly turned around with his sword in hand, and saw a sword shadow sweeping toward his face filling his entire field of vision——

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The muffled sound of four consecutive bamboo sword collisions shocked the atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, Kanazawa Qin struck four consecutive blows at Qingdeng's various vital points.

Kanazawa Qin's fighting style is extremely fierce...it is in great contrast with her daughter's body and her pretty face.

While Qingteng received or dodged every attack from Kanazawa Qin, he carefully observed Kanazawa Qin's sword path.

He somewhat understood why more than 90% of the male apprentices in the Little Chiba Sword Hall were no match for Kanazawa Qin.

Although Kanazawa Qin is a woman, her body is quite strong and her strength is not inferior to that of ordinary adult men.

No shortage of strength...and no shortage of skills either.

Whether it's how to swing the sword or how to move her feet, Kanazawa Qin's foundation is quite solid. At first glance, she looks like someone who has practiced the basic skills steadily and diligently.

But that's all.

Apart from her strength far exceeding that of women of her age and her solid skills, there is nothing about Kanazawa Qin that makes Ainoto worthy of more attention.

No matter how strong Kanazawa Qin is, no matter how powerful she is, no matter how powerful she is, can she still be compared to Ayoto, who now has extremely powerful core strength due to his "bear's waist"?

Kanazawa Qin clenched her bamboo sword tightly and was about to swing the sword to give Qingden another hard blow when she saw an afterimage coming towards her quickly - Qingden aimed at her with a speed one step faster than her.

A horizontal slash with frightening potential was struck from the chest.

The speed was so fast... Kanazawa Qin had no way to hide.

Kanazawa Qin could only give up attacking and evading, and held the bamboo sword vertically in front of her in an "I" shape, trying to catch and deflect Qingdou's slash.

But after their bamboo swords collided heavily on her chest, the power transmitted from the swords to her arms was far beyond her imagination.

Kanazawa Qin's eyes widened in astonishment. He kicked his feet firmly on the ground and transferred all the strength from his body to his arms, but he still could not compete with Qingto's power.

With a loud "snap" sound, Kanazawa Qin's defense was broken. The strong force remaining on the sword body and both palms made her almost lose her grip on the bamboo sword, causing her to lose the weapon.

At this time, Aoto suddenly lowered his waist, spread his legs, and pointed the tip of the sword straight at Kanazawa Qin's body with the door wide open - it was the Kasumi Danki that Aoto was best at using.

Knowing that something was wrong, Kanazawa Qin quickly used her feet to stabilize her body's center of gravity and posture, and raised her sword to defend again.

The body was successfully stabilized, and the knife was successfully brought back to the front of the body...but the posture was not ideal.

The lower body is standing very firmly, but the waist is forgotten behind.

The moment General Kanazawa Koto set up his defense, Aoto's bamboo sword made a loud noise.

A straight thrust like thunder.

Kanazawa Qin's chest was hit hard and she fell to the floor.

Qingneng concluded: It is impossible for a woman like Kanazawa Qin who is strong enough to compete with men not to have outstanding swordsmanship skills.

Sure enough - after stabbing Kanazawa Qin to the ground, the mechanical system sound sounded in Qingdeng's mind at the right time.

[Ding! Talent scanned]

[Successfully copied talent: "Swordsmanship Sword Master"]

[Talent introduction: The increase in swordsmanship talent is 9 times the average level of ordinary people]

——9 times? That’s amazing...

With a talent for swordsmanship that is 9 times that of an ordinary person...Kanazawa Qin is the most talented person among all the challengers Aomori has faced today - this is understandable.

After all, for women, if they don't have outstanding talents, it is simply impossible to compete with men in the field of martial arts and become famous in a place like Xiao Qianba Sword Hall where there are many masters.

While Aoto was secretly sighing at Kanazawa Qin's great talent, the system sound continued to play in his mind.

Qingdeng did not listen carefully to what the system tones were saying in his mind.

Because he felt that the voice content was nothing more than a reminder to him that "the talents are integrated, and your swordsmanship talent is stronger."

An unexpected situation that was beyond Qingdeng's expectation and imagination occurred at the moment of Qingdeng's "negligence".

[Ding! It has been detected that the host already has the same type of talent]

【Beep beep beep beep beep!】

["Sword Talent" has reached the upgrade conditions! 】

[Ding! Start talent upgrade!]

[Please wait a moment, host...Please wait a moment, host...]

--what……?!

Qingdeng almost screamed.

Fortunately, there was a mask covering his face, otherwise the onlookers around him would definitely be wondering why Qingdeng, who was fine just a second ago, suddenly changed his expression.

——Talent upgrade?

Qingdeng couldn't care less about managing his current expression and emotions, so he quickly concentrated his attention and listened carefully, for fear of mishearing and missing every word that came from the system voice.

The system did not keep Qingden waiting for too long.

Qingden patiently listened to the system saying "Please wait a moment, host" four times in an emotionless tone, and finally heard a "ding" sound——

[Ding! "Sword's Excellent Talent" is upgraded to "Sword's Saint"! 】

[Introduction to the talent of "Sword Saint": The increase in swordsmanship talent is 106 times the average level of ordinary people, and it is expected to reach the highest level of martial arts]

[Beep! The talent of "swordsmanship talent increases from 2 to 9 times the average level of ordinary people", that is, "swordsmanship masters" can no longer perform talent fusion]

[Only those with the same type of talent of "Sword Master" or higher level can proceed with "Talent Fusion"]

Qingdeng waited a few more seconds for the system tone to go off.

After confirming that there was really no more content to listen to, Qingdeng quickly opened his personal system interface.

The original entry of "Sword Master" has now been changed into "Sword Saint" with a more powerful and powerful name.

Qingdeng felt that his breathing had become heavier at this time.

He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to rub his stiff and stiff face, but instead he touched the cold mask.

Talent upgrade... Qingdeng heard such a system sound for the first time.

Qingdeng took several deep breaths, trying hard to suppress the shock, surprise and other emotions in his heart.

After his mind calmed down a little, Qingdeng began to try hard to recall the content of the voice he had just heard.

There were two places in the series of unfamiliar system tones that sounded just now, and Qingdeng felt most concerned about them.

The first place is the two sentences at the end - "Sword Master" or higher level talents of the same type can continue to "talent fusion".

The meaning of this sentence...is not difficult to understand.
To be continued...
