As the Gemstone Conference approaches, it is obvious that the security in the Emerald City has become much tighter.

There are not only city guards and police on the road, but sometimes you can also see the patrolling Lion Army and the boats of the Giant Shark Army that shuttle back and forth on the river.

Noble District, Shenyu Gym.

This gym is a kendo gym that has existed for a hundred years. It was passed down from the great swordsman Shen Yu more than a hundred years ago. His own Shen Yu Ittōryu was famous in that era. He finally settled in

He founded this gym in the Emerald City of Emerald Country at that time.

It is a pity that the Shenyu family, which has a noble status, has never had a person who can inherit the mantle in these years. Decades ago, the Shenyu family stood in the wrong position and declined.

So far, this is the only gym that can barely cover its face.

The current owner of the Shenyu Gym is Shen Yutong, a man in his thirties who looks a bit sinister. In fact, Shen Yu itself is just a name and not a surname, but since Shen Yu had offspring, he was named after him.

The surname was passed down.

In this world, many people only have first names but no surnames. For example, Marshal Sora, Vice Admiral He, and former General Zefa are all given names. Allen has not studied the specifics.

Allen entered the Shenyu Gym in the name of exchanging sword skills.

These days, he is not doing nothing. During the day, he will travel throughout the Emerald City on the grounds of challenging various swordsman masters. At night, he sometimes disguises himself as a pirate and wanders around pirate gathering points - in the process, Rosinandi

The fruit of silence played a big role.

There has been no progress in the investigation of the Faceless Pirates, but Allen's reputation has been vaguely spread in the Emerald City, and many people know that there is a young man challenging various swordsmanship gyms.

When Allen came to Shenyu Gym, he had already attracted a lot of people, and Shenyu Gym also knew about Allen's arrival.

After entering this gym, Allen ignored the hostile looks of many young people towards him, and all his eyes focused on an unexpected person.

Allen grinned, showing eight neat teeth: "Commander Brad, what a coincidence. I haven't seen you for a long time since we last saw each other. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Brad also showed a very gentlemanly smile. Even though he seemed to be standing on the side of the Shenyu Gym, he did not treat Allen with a hostile attitude like other people in the gym.

"This shows that things like fate are always unpredictable. You never know when something unexpected will happen."

Brad paused before saying: "However, your name has often sounded in my ears during this period. I expected it well. You are indeed a young man who has gone a long way in the art of swordsmanship."

Allen shook his head: "No, my swordsmanship level is actually far from enough, so I have to go to gyms one after another to verify myself and improve myself."

He was telling the truth. In fact, Allen's talent mainly lies in his mind and how to use his various advantages to fight. This makes his various abilities appear to be higher than what he actually masters.

In fact, he knows that his physical talent is average, and his swordsmanship talent is also average. The reason why he is at his current level is simply because of cheating that makes his own level far higher than the average person.

In terms of pure swordsmanship, he was completely beaten when compared with Gion, and even compared to the future lieutenant generals in the recruit camp.

The strength of a person's swordsmanship not only depends on how mentally he masters the swordsmanship, but also depends on the development of his body, the increase of his domineering power, etc. Otherwise, it will be difficult to reach the top level in the world just by relying on swordsmanship.

But obviously others don't see it that way, they just think Allen is faking it.

Many young people in the Shenyu Gym even started to make noises, and some even challenged him first.

This time is really interesting. I was thinking about how to get in touch with Brad before. Is there any better opportunity than now?

Allen ignored the others. He looked at Brad with a wry smile and said: "I know a gentleman named Lu Xun who once said that it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and to invite you to meet by chance. Since we met by chance,

Why don't you ask Commander Brad to give me some advice? I heard that Mr. Brad is a master in swordsmanship."

Shen Yutong's sinister expression changed a bit: "Who are you, you are worthy of challenging Commander Brad. Since you are coming to my Shen Yu Gym, I will accept your challenge."

Brad waved his hand to stop Shen Yutong, but still smiled and said: "It's better to bump into the day than to choose a date, and it's better to meet by chance than to meet. It's really a wonderful saying. Since we are so destined, it seems a little inappropriate to refuse you again, then let's

How about we discuss sword skills with each other until we get to the point?"

"Okay, please!"

…

…

In the dojo, Allen took off the [Firefly] and handed it to Rosinandi. Brad also handed his saber to Shen Yutong, and then both of them held a brand new bamboo sword.

Holding the sword in both hands, Allen looked at Brad, who was about the same height as him across from him, and said: "My swordsmanship pays more attention to actual combat, so please be careful."

Allen's original swordsmanship was not systematic and he relied on himself to practice blindly. Of course, they were all moves that were convenient for killing people. Later, after joining the navy, they were integrated. The key swordsmanship in the navy was basically honed on the battlefield.

.

He seemed very murderous.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and stabbed out the bamboo knife diagonally in his hand, heading straight for Brad's throat.

Snapped!

The front ends of the two bamboo knives collided together. Brad's swordsmanship was indeed very exquisite, and he was able to block Allen's attack to an advantage.

He put away the knife, moved his steps, and moved his body forward instead of retreating. Allen had already approached Brad two steps in front of him. The bamboo knife in his hand followed the force of his body's advancement and lifted it up between his legs.

【Reverse cassock】

It was a very strange reverse cassock, because Allen hid the intention of this attack with the help of his lunging body. It was difficult to judge his angle and intention before taking action. It was fast and concealed.

But Brad's bamboo knife pressed down and just hit the bamboo knife in his hand.

Allen was not discouraged at all. To put it bluntly, his swordsmanship was very similar to that of a certain Miyamoto sword master in his previous life. He chose to use force to overwhelm others, and relied on his strong physical fitness to make his attacks faster and more powerful.

Not exactly subtle.

The footsteps of the two moved very fast, and soon the only sound in the entire field was the 'crack' sound of the bamboo swords being handed over.

Until the two people's bamboo knives collided again, they were less than one step away from each other, and their eyes intertwined.

"It is indeed a move full of murderous intent." Brad praised.

Allen replied: "The swordsmanship led by Brad is better."

Bang!

The bamboo knives in the hands of the two exploded with a bang, and countless sawdust flew and fell all over the sky. Some of them were also stained on their bodies.

Allen turned and walked out, followed closely by Rossinandi.
Chapter completed!
