They won't let me practice! I wanted to try out my marksmanship!
On the plane, I watched the filmed Confucian spear technique again.
This time it was completely different from the last time, and I was able to grasp the essence of it immediately.
Huh? If I could secretly observe Yang Ben's Japanese swordsmanship and then tell Aunt Jun and the others about his weaknesses, what would they even need to fight for?
Moreover, if I encounter Duanmu Xiuchun again and the conditions don't meet, I'll just use a counter-strategy.
Anyway, I don't feel any pressure at all about causing trouble for my own country.
I've hacked her phone before, and I was just trying to find out where Duanmu Xiuchun was when I heard her voice behind me:
"Mr. Zheng!"
Holy crap? They even delivered themselves to my doorstep: "Miss Duanmu! What a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence! They came specifically to see you."
"oh?"
"Would Mr. Zheng like to have a seat over there?"
Duanmu Xiuchun pointed to the izakaya next door.
"OK!"
Most of these izakayas have people sitting at the counter while the food is prepared inside, and then served directly to them.
In the dead of winter, they first brought me a glass of iced lemonade.
Duanmu Xiuchun ordered a bottle of sake and said as she poured it for me:
"Last time in the Gaman Islands, after you left, the Mei Kingdom led two more explorations, resulting in considerable losses."
However, they also found something valuable: the same barrier as in the desert.
They finally discovered it.
After Duanmu Xiuchun finished speaking, she stared straight at me, wanting to see my reaction.
"Really? How could there be something like that at the bottom of the sea?"
Duanmu Xiuchun was clearly disappointed by my reaction.
"Mr. Zheng didn't even know."
"How could I possibly know? I was kicked out the last time I went down there, I wasn't even as close as you guys!"
What are Mei Guo's plans? They have a high-speed blender, after all.
"It's not that easy. Unlike a submarine, you can't regulate the pressure."
If a hole is made, with such great pressure below, a person could be forced in before it's fully opened, and it's uncertain whether they'd survive intact.
Besides, how to get out after going in is also a problem.
I never expected this.
I just didn't want to get water in, but I accidentally did the right thing.
"Doesn't that mean even if you see it, you can't get in?"
"But Mr. Zheng, do you have a way? All you need to do is go in and destroy all the barriers."
Damn! I bet she's not the only one who thinks that way.
"You want me dead? If I go in and remove the barrier, how much pressure difference will there be instantly?"
Duanmu Xiuchun clearly hadn't considered this, and her face stiffened: "It was my oversight."
I don't think she ever considered whether I would live or die.
Never mind all that, let's see if you meet the standards...
"Where does Mr. Zheng live now? If you don't mind, you can move to our Duanmu Flash Blade School of martial arts."
It's convenient for me to come to your place, right? Anyway, she doesn't fit the bill, so I can play along however I want.
However, moving there would be too inconvenient, and I didn't come here just for her.
"No need, I'm staying at the guesthouse I just stayed at. But I'd like to visit your place!"
Duanmu Xiuchun was initially quite disappointed, but upon hearing the news, she immediately became happy.
"Then please, Mr. Zheng!"
We left the izakaya together, then got into Duanmu Xiuchun's sports car and drove all the way to Duanmu Martial Arts School.
Just like in the movie, it's a wooden structure with a corridor and a training ground.
When we arrived, there were many people practicing swordsmanship.
Duanmu Xiuchun was highly respected at the martial arts school, and people would bow to her whenever they passed by.
She led me to the training ground, and we stood together, very close. A man inside immediately gave me an unfriendly look.
He waved his hand, and everyone stopped.
Holy crap! I haven't even seen how they practiced yet!
"Junior sister! Who is this person?"
The man came up to us.
"Senior Brother Tianjian! Let me introduce you. This is Zheng Yang, Mr. Zheng, the most outstanding representative of the younger generation of Great Xia!"
He's also the world's top hacker; our country's upper echelons value him highly.
Damn! Being valued by your country is not a good thing.
I don't know if I've been flattered too much, but the man seemed a little unhappy.
His face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.
“Mr. Zheng! This is my senior brother, Tian Jianye, who is also my father’s most valued disciple.”
Noichi Tanaka nodded: "Nice to meet you!"
"Same to you!"
Tian Jianye was taken aback; it seemed no one had ever said that to him before.
"Mr. Zheng should be attending a science and technology conference, why is he here?"
Damn it! I can go wherever I want, what's it to you?
"Senior Brother Tianjian! Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Zheng is also a member of the Great Xia Shield Organization, and he is also a master."
"Oh? Then I underestimated Mr. Zheng. May I ask for a few pointers?"
Aside from strength, none of his stats are as high as Duanmu Xiuchun's. You dare challenge me?
Duanmu Xiuchun didn't stop me, which means she also wanted to find out about me.
"Hehe! Mr. Tianjian, don't be like that. My mediocre skills are no match for yours. Hey? What are those upright straw targets for?"
Seeing my words, Tianjianye revealed a disdainful expression:
"This is called a 'longmaki'! It's specially designed to test a samurai's swordsmanship, including the power and speed of their strikes."
As he spoke, Tian Jianye picked up a knife: "An ordinary person can only make two cuts, but they might not be able to cut through it. A trained expert can make three cuts, but I..."
"Snap..."
With a single upward slash, Tianjianye severed the ramekinsai in two, then, before the ramekins could fall, he delivered three more slashes.
Duanmu Xiuchun nodded in agreement: "Our senior brother Tianjian's knife is known for its speed."
