Chapter 25

Park Jeong-saeng accepted the challenge. This was the first non-Kendo challenge he had accepted since coming to Kyushu!

Perhaps it was out of curiosity, or perhaps he was influenced by the determination in Qin Yuyan's eyes.

He felt that he could agree to this battle.

Chief Jin's face turned cold as he said,

"Park Jeong-saeng, don't be foolish. If it's not Kendo, it will increase the difficulty of defeating your opponent. If you lose, it will be a huge stain on your record in Kyushu."

Park Jeong-saeng replied with a determined look in his eyes,

"A true Kendo master does not fear rules, nor does he fear any martial arts! If my sword can only contend within the realm of Kendo, wouldn't that be a joke?"

"If you lose, you must take full responsibility!"

"I understand."

Park Jeong-saeng picked up the iron sword, signaling the start of the battle.

"Thank you."

Qin Yuyan thanked him and immediately switched to an unopened long sword.

When Grandfather Qin saw this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"This damn girl, she actually secretly learned swordsmanship behind my back! Does she want to cut off the Qin family line? If I don't beat her to death when she comes down, I'll change my surname to hers."

Du Changfeng, who was trying to console him, said with a mix of laughter and tears,

"Old Qin, you need to change your mindset. The Qin family's swordsmanship is not the strongest in the world, and Kendo is not the strongest martial art! If the child has a better path, isn't that better?"

"Bullshit! When she practices swordsmanship, I can guide her. What can she achieve by practicing swordsmanship?"

"Let's see how it goes."

On the field, both suppressed their cultivation to below the level of a Fifth-Rank Warrior, so as not to destroy the martial arts hall or injure the spectators.

Many people began to take out their phones to record, waiting to post it on the forum.

The two stood facing each other, and the entire hall became so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.

But the tension in the air grew thicker.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

Finally, Qin Yuyan made her move.

She had not yet fully grasped the meaning of Ye Xiao's sword technique, as she did not have the divine soul that could cultivate on its own. It might take her years, or even decades, to fully understand it.

However, Ye Xiao's sword technique allowed her to successfully enter the realm of swordsmanship and truly see the threshold of the Great Sword Technique.

Because of this, her cultivation successfully broke through to the Sixth-Rank Warrior within two months!

If she had been practicing Kendo, it might have taken her more than half a year to break through to the Sixth-Rank Warrior!

She had confidence in this battle.

Her right leg moved slightly, her body bent, and her hand rested on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this action, Du Changfeng, who was consoling Qin Shenglong in the stands, suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on Qin Yuyan with a serious look.

Qin Shenglong was startled.

"Old Du, what's wrong?"

Du Changfeng ignored him and stared intently at Qin Yuyan.

Between experts, a single movement can reveal a lot.

Qin Yuyan's sword-drawing technique actually revealed a hint of intent to him!

In the next second, Qin Yuyan made her move.

She stepped forward, her body moving like a swallow, transforming into a bolt of lightning and instantly reaching Park Jeong-saeng's side.

Park Jeong-saeng, who had been only slightly serious, suddenly became solemn.

Swish!

The iron sword was drawn, and the sword technique was unleashed in an instant.

Clang, clang, clang...

In the next second, their swords clashed, and sparks flew on the stage!

"Great sword technique!"

"Damn!"

Du Changfeng couldn't help but praise, while Qin Shenglong was shocked speechless, even cursing.

His granddaughter... when did she become so powerful?

And this sword technique, even though he practiced Kendo, he could see that his granddaughter's sword technique was extraordinary.

"Old Du, this... this..."

Du Changfeng's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Old Qin, your Qin family is really going to produce a phoenix this time!"

Qin Shenglong took a deep breath and looked at the field with excitement.

Du Changfeng's status was extremely high, even in the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy.

Moreover, he specialized in sword techniques.

If he said so, then Yuyan...

On the field, the battle between Qin Yuyan and Park Jeong-saeng entered a white-hot phase without any warm-up.

Their figures flickered across the wide stage, leaving trails of afterimages. Their swords clashed, and the sparks that initially burst out eventually turned into electric sparks.

In just one minute, they had clashed over three hundred times!

The sound of their swords clashing never ceased!

In the final second, both gathered their full strength and clashed again, generating a gale force that sent shockwaves in all directions, pushing them back several steps. They held their weapons and panted heavily.

The martial arts hall fell silent for a few seconds before suddenly erupting in cheers.

"Great!"

"Too amazing!"

"To think that with the strength of a Fifth-Rank Warrior, they could fight so brilliantly. Truly a genius!"

"Not just that! They even generated a gale force! It's incredible!"

"I've decided, from today on, Senior Qin will be my lifelong idol."

After a brief moment of panting, their breathing quickly stabilized.

Park Jeong-saeng straightened his body, a look of admiration in his eyes.

His master was right. Even though Kyushu had been suppressed by many major regions over the past two hundred years, Kyushu was still Kyushu!

A land of outstanding people and natural beauty!

A place where talented individuals emerge!

"Even though you use sword techniques, since I came to Kyushu, no one at your level has been able to match you. You deserve my full attention, Park Jeong-saeng!"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Qin Yuyan's gaze was resolute.

Just as Ye Xiao said, whether it's Kendo or sword techniques, move forward with determination!

Both gathered the spiritual energy within their bodies, and their strength rapidly condensed. They both knew that the next clash would determine the winner!

Time slowed down again, and people's hearts seemed to be counting the seconds, thumping... each heartbeat representing the passage of time.

Finally, both made their move again!

But this time, Park Jeong-saeng moved first!

Professor Du's eyes flickered.

"It's the Sword Saint Liu Chengxun's famous technique—Supreme Sword! I didn't expect him to learn this move. He hasn't used it in Kyoto, but he's using it here."

Qin Shenglong could also see that Park Jeong-saeng's move was extraordinary.

"Old Du, can Yuyan withstand this sword?"

Professor Du tightly gripped the edge of the table, even crushing the wooden edge into powder.

"I don't know, but if she wins, she will surely become famous in Kyushu. Even if she doesn't win, being able to push Park Jeong-saeng to this point is enough!"

Qin Shenglong's heart rate couldn't help but accelerate. He stared at his granddaughter with wide eyes, not daring to blink, for fear of missing this thrilling battle.

"Girl, do your best!"
