The appearance of Todo Kirin temporarily ended the tense atmosphere, which also made the blonde girl breathe a sigh of relief.
"Toto-san, do you know each other?"
"Yes."
In response to the blonde girl's question, Toudou Qilin nodded and introduced herself to her.
"This is Kasugano Masaru, my opponent for today's duel. President, you should remember him."
"Ah, so it was him..."
After hearing Toudou Qilin's answer, the blonde girl suddenly realized something, because Fang Zheng had just put so much pressure on her that she had forgotten about it.
And Todo Qilin also introduced Fang Zheng.
"Brother Zheng, this is Miss Claudia Enfield, the student council president of Seidoukan Academy."
"Oh, hello."
Fang Zheng nodded as a greeting.
"Hello, Kasugano-kun."
Claudia heaved a sigh of relief at this moment and greeted Fang Zheng somewhat stiffly.
"Can I ask what's going on?"
"Oh, nothing. These idiots wanted to cause trouble for me, so I taught them a lesson they will never forget."
Looking at the groaning man with glasses at his feet, Fang Zheng snorted coldly and kicked him, sending him flying. Then he looked at Toudou Qilin and spoke.
"Your old man still has no vision for people. He stuffs this kind of thing around you. Is he blind?"
"Well... Father is still in good health."
Faced with Fang Zheng's words, Toto Qilin didn't know how to respond, so she could only reply timidly.
"Well, there's nothing more to say. Let's go to the duel arena and show me how much you've grown over the years."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and spoke. Seeing this, Claudia wanted to say something, but at this moment... Julie walked out of the crowd, came to Fang Zheng, and handed him the juice in her hand.
"Exactly. The juice you requested."
"Oh, thank you."
Fang Zheng reached out and touched Julie's little head, then took the juice. Seeing this, Claudia cleared her throat and was about to say something...
"Brother Zheng, who is she?"
A voice without any emotion, cold and frightening, interrupted Claudia's question, causing her to shudder. Turning her head, she saw that Toudou Qilin was staring at Julie, and there was no light in her eyes.
"Oh, this is Julie, my twin blades."
"Tripping the double blades?"
"It's a unique system in our school. You can think of it as a partner."
"Really..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Toudou Qilin stared at Julie with cold eyes.
"That's your partner, brother..."
"……Um."
I don’t know why, but Fang Zheng suddenly felt a little pain in his waist.
Maybe it's an illusion.
"President, I have to go prepare for the duel."
At this moment, Toudou Qilin also turned around and looked at Claudia and spoke. Although Claudia wanted to say something, she just took a breath silently and nodded when she saw Toudou Qilin's eyes. Then Toudou Qilin turned around and left.
After that, Fang Zheng and Toudou Qilin also came to the duel field of Xingdaoguan Academy. Like Pojun Academy, there were naturally many students from Xingdaoguan Academy who came to watch the game. Moreover, since Toudou Qilin was the number one in Xingdaoguan Academy, her duel was naturally more eye-catching than Toudou Daohua's before.
In addition, Fang Zheng also became the focus of everyone's attention in Xingdao Academy.
But this time, their focus was not on Fang Zheng's identity as Toudou Qilin's opponent, but...
"Hey, is this the guy?"
"It seems to be him, but I heard that he was put in prison, wasn't he?"
"When I first watched the video, I thought they looked alike, but at that time I thought they just looked alike. But since he knows Toudou-san, then that must be the case!"
"How did he end up here?"
Listening to the whispers of the students around her, Stella poked Julie.
"What are they talking about?"
“…”
Facing Stella's question, Julie shook her head. It was no wonder. They all came from foreign countries and had been here for less than a year. The incident caused by Fang Zheng happened three or four years ago and was suppressed by someone with ulterior motives. It was normal for them not to know.
But Stella was also direct and immediately grabbed a student next to her and asked her about it.
"Hey, let me ask you... did that guy do anything?"
"Eh? Don't you know?"
Hearing Stella's question, the student was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Stella and nodded.
"Oh, you are from a foreign country, no wonder you don't know, actually... that guy has killed someone before!"
"Eh?! Did you mean Kasugano?"
Stella and Julie were both surprised to hear this answer.
"Yes, it was reported in the news at the time. If I remember correctly, it seemed that there were gangsters holding hostages at that time, and then he killed the gangsters and rescued the hostages, and then he was arrested."
"But he did nothing wrong."
Hearing this, Stella frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, and the student also shook his head.
"Hey, that's how the Xingmai Generation is. No matter what, the other party is just an ordinary person..."
“So I say, don’t mind your own business.”
At this time, the person next to him also interrupted.
"What good is there in being a hero like him? What good is it if he saves people? Didn't he get arrested in the end?"
"But I remember he seemed to have been sentenced to several decades. Why is he here?"
"I don't know about that..."
There was a lot of discussion going on above, but in the duel arena, Fang Zheng and Toto Qilin just stood there facing each other.
"It seems like your skills have improved a lot, Qilin."
Looking at Toudou Qilin, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Since he is already the number one among the twelve students in the Star Guide Academy, he should not be much worse than that old man."
"I am still far inferior to my father..."
"Don't be so modest here. That old man has poor vision and no ability. If he came here, he would have been beaten to a pulp."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting Toudou Qilin's words.
"This thing requires talent. Some people just don't have the talent, so that's it. However..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Toudou Qilin meaningfully.
"Do you really want to fight me? You should know that Toteng Liu is no match for me."
"What?!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, all the students in the room were shocked. As the main family of swordsmanship, Toudou Ryu has been famous for a long time, and Toudou Qilin, as the best among them, is even more outstanding. She was able to get the first place among the twelve students in the entire Xingdaoguan Academy as a first-year middle school student at the age of thirteen. Of course, it was not based on popularity voting, but on strength.
You know, what Toudou Qilin usually uses is not the Huang-style weapon made of universal ore, but an ordinary Japanese sword. Although the Japanese sword held by Toudou Qilin is also a treasure, the Huang-style weapon is also a very advanced weapon, which is a bit like the difference between the Golden Snake Sword and the Light Sword. Generally speaking, the one who uses the Light Sword will definitely have an advantage over the one who uses the Golden Snake Sword.
However, Tofu Kirin defeated all the holders of the Huang-style weapons with just the sword in her hand, and ranked first among the twelve people in the first page. Tofu Kirin's swordsmanship played an indispensable role in this.
Toudou Style swordsmanship focuses on combos, and has the reputation of being like a crane. Toudou Qilin's secret technique "Continuous Crane" is the essence of it. This is an infinite combo secret technique that combines Toudou Style's 49 combos. It is said to have no end and no limit. No matter how the opponent dodges, you can continue to attack until the opponent is completely defeated.
However, this man actually said shamelessly that Toteng Liu was vulnerable in front of him?
But what surprised everyone even more was...
"Yes, brother, I know very well."
Toudou Qilin actually admitted this! ?
What is going on?
Ignoring the noise and uproar in the audience, Toudou Qilin just looked at Fang Zheng. She knew that Fang Zheng had been disliked by the dojo since he was a child. In addition to his identity and personality, the biggest reason was Fang Zheng's disdain for Toudou swordsmanship.
Unlike others, Toudou Qilin knew that Fang Zheng had always been critical of Toudou Style's swordsmanship, believing it to be just a flashy trick. In fact, since he started practicing swordsmanship, Toudou Qilin had only seen Fang Zheng practicing thrusting. Apart from this move, he had never practiced anything else. In the end, just like Toudou Qilin, Fang Zheng also invented his own swordsmanship secret - the fang thrust.
Unlike the Toto-ryu that focuses on combos, Fang Zheng's Ya-Tu is all about one-hit kill, if not killing you then crippling you. This is just like in the movies, when the opponent is playing with nunchakus, Fang Zheng just takes out his gun and shoots him in the chest.
By then, no matter how well you play with nunchakus, you will be dead.
Relying on this move of Ya Tu, Fang Zheng had almost no rivals in the Toto Ryu Dojo. Even Toto Qilin's father could only barely tie with him. That was because Fang Zheng was still young at the time and lacked strength and speed.
"Forget it, just let me see how much you have grown."
Fang Zheng stretched out his finger and hooked it at Toudou Qilin.
"bring it on."
"Yes, brother, please give me more advice!"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. Normally, in a duel, the two sides should fight against each other. But looking at Fang Zheng and Tou Teng Qilin, it was more like a teacher teaching his apprentice than a duel.
At the same time, both parties pressed their badges, and then a system prompt appeared.
【start of the duel】
“Drink Aa ...
At the moment the duel was prompted to begin, Tou Teng Qilin clenched the blade in her hand and rushed directly towards Fang Zheng. At the same time, the knife in her hand turned into a sword net, instantly covering Fang Zheng!
This is exactly the secret of Toto Kirin's infinite slashing technique - Lianhe!
I know it very well!
While swinging his blade at Fang Zheng, Toudou Qilin began to think seriously in his heart.
Fang Zheng's most powerful move, but Fang Zheng is not without its shortcomings. It requires a distance to accelerate, and then cooperate with super-fast thrusts to break through the enemy's defense. Fang Zheng and Toudou Daohua's battle before, Toudou Qilin has watched countless times, and completely verified his idea. At the beginning, Fang Zheng used the sprint attack to seize the initiative, and then completely suppressed Toudou Daohua's Raikiri, which made Toudou Daohua completely unable to fight back.
The reason why he took the initiative to distance himself afterwards was to use his complete tooth thrust once again to completely defeat the opponent.
Therefore, what I have to do is to entangle my brother and never give him the chance to distance himself! Then I will seize the opportunity and kill him with one strike!
She wanted to let her brother know that she was no longer the weak little girl!
and……
For some reason, Toudou Qilin glanced at the audience seats, and saw a white-haired girl standing in the audience seats with an expressionless face, looking at Fang Zheng.
…I was here first.
At this moment, a surge of anger surged in his heart, and then - Toto Kirin accelerated again! The knife in his hand was like a flash of lightning, completely splitting the surrounding space!
"good!!"
Seeing this, the audience around couldn't help but shout out, and Todo Kirin's strength was clearly revealed at this moment.
Wind Blade Thunder!
Fast as the wind, sword as loud as thunder!
If it were anyone else, they would have completely collapsed under Toudou Qilin's continuous attacks!
but……
"What's going on?"
Claudia frowned and stared at the field. She saw that under Toudou Qilin's attack, Fang Zheng was still relaxed and at ease. He didn't even pick up the sword. He just moved left and right, leaning sideways from time to time, and easily dodged Toudou Qilin's attack. He looked quite relaxed and not nervous at all. It was as if he was not facing a stormy battle, but a breeze! ?
You are worthy of being my brother.
Toudou Qilin was not surprised that Fang Zheng was able to dodge his attack. The two grew up together in the dojo, and Toudou Qilin's "Lianhe" was just a clever way of connecting the forty-nine sword skills of the Toudou style together, and then combining it with his own speed to unleash a combo.
This move is more than enough to deal with ordinary opponents, but Fang Zheng has been far superior to Toudou Qilin since he was a child. He was able to create the "fang stab" technique that restrained Toudou Style to death. It is obvious that he is familiar with Toudou Style's sword skills. In addition, Fang Zheng originally won by speed, so it is not surprising that he was able to dodge his sword skills.
But as long as I stick close to him and don't let him get away, then... there will be no problem!
At this moment, Fang Zheng's voice suddenly sounded in Toudou Qilin's ears.
"Your swordsmanship is good. I can see that you have studied hard and practiced diligently. Moreover, your character has also been tempered. You are no longer the crybaby girl you used to be."
"elder brother……"
Hearing this, Toudou Qilin almost slowed down, but she quickly kept her composure and continued to attack Fang Zheng.
"But you are still too naive."
However, the next sentence immediately startled Toudou Qilin. Almost at the same time, Fang Zheng suddenly stopped. Facing Toudou Qilin's attack, he did not dodge or evade, but just stood there. And Toudou Qilin did not miss this opportunity, and swung the sharp blade in his hand and chopped directly at the badge on Fang Zheng's chest!
And this is where Toudou Kirin's memory ends.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the ground, with faint shouting coming from all around her, and... dazzling lights.
"I……"
Toudou Qilin raised his head and looked at his chest, only to find that the badge there had been broken into two pieces, and he was lying dozens of meters in front of Fang Zheng.
What on earth just happened?
"You have a good idea, Qilin."
Fang Zheng held the sword in his hand and stared at Toto Qilin.
"You stuck to me and didn't give me the chance to gain distance, so I couldn't use my fangs. It's a good idea, but unfortunately, you didn't think of two things."
Fang Zheng didn't care at all what the people around him thought or said. He just pointed a finger at Toudou Qilin.
"First, your 'Link Crane' is indeed powerful, but you overlooked one thing. There is no such thing as infinite combos in this world. Even if a move can be connected infinitely, it does not mean that the user can always persist."
In fact, in Fang Zheng's opinion, Toto Kirin's "Lianhe" is a bit like the card drawing style in Yu-Gi-Oh, which does not give the opponent a chance to draw cards. It is always "Draw cards, my turn", "Draw cards, still my turn", "Draw cards, it's my turn again".
But... I can still use the card when I have time.
Just like Fang Zheng said, swordsmanship can be connected infinitely, but can the person using the sword persist forever?
After all, Todo Kirin is only thirteen years old. Although she is from the Star Vein Generation and has a stronger physique than ordinary people, but... her opponent is also from the Star Vein Generation.
As long as we can keep consuming her physical strength, her swordsmanship will inevitably have flaws, and then we can counterattack and kill her.
After all, Todo Kirin is not a perpetual motion machine, right?
"second……"
Fang Zheng stretched out his second finger and stared at Toudou Qilin.
"You have a good idea, but my fangs have no weak points."
“…”
Hearing this, Toto Kirin was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
Indeed, she had always thought that Fang Zheng's fangs were used to launch attacks by sprinting and then charging, so she had to keep a distance. But this was just her idea. In fact, Fang Zheng had never told her that his fangs had to be used in this way!
"Remember the mistakes of empiricism and dogmatism and never make them again."
Having said that, Fang Zheng chuckled and stretched out his hand towards Toudou Qilin.
"Okay, do you want to go out and find a place to eat? I'm starving."
Looking at Fang Zheng in front of her, Toudou Qilin was stunned for a moment, then she smiled slightly.
"Okay, brother!"
