Qingdeng's muscles are all small, tight, and full of explosive power, not the "too big to measure" muscles. Therefore, although Qingdeng's muscles are well developed, his body is not as strong as a "human-shaped mountain of flesh."

Degree.

The tight muscles, coupled with the scars "hanging" everywhere on the body like medals, announce to outsiders how many battlefields of life and death this person has been in, making this body full of masculine aura.

The moment his eyes came into contact with Qingteng's muscular upper body, Sanako stared blankly at Qingteng's upper body as if his brain had been shut down due to a huge impact.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sanako."

After confirming that the frog had jumped far away, Aomori resettled the water basin that he had just accidentally knocked over, and continued to speak to Sanako in an apologetic tone.

"Just now, a frog suddenly jumped out and startled me. I shouted subconsciously and knocked over the basin. I also scared you. I'm sorry."

Qingden's sudden voice brought Sanako back to his senses.

The soul that flew away returned to the body, and the downed brain resumed operation.

Sanako blinked several times before realizing it.

Then he quickly closed his eyes and hurriedly turned his body back to face Qingdeng.

"No, it's okay... As long as nothing happens to you, you'll be fine."

"Huh?" Qingden cast a surprised look at Sanako.

Sanako's tone and demeanor are always so elegant and calm.

Therefore, whenever there is any abnormality in Sanako's state, it is like watching fire.

Qingden immediately noticed the strangeness in Sanazi's tone.

Unfortunately, when he raised his eyes to look at Sanako, Sanako had already turned his face away, so Qingto could not see Sanako's expression.

——Miss Sanako, what’s going on?

As soon as this question emerged from Qingdeng's mind, he immediately found the answer as the corner of his eye glanced at his naked upper body.

"Uh... I'm sorry." Qingdeng laughed awkwardly, pulled up the clothes hanging around his waist and put them on, "I made you see some... indecent things."

"It doesn't matter..." Sanako whispered, "I was just careless. You don't have to apologize."

Sanako's tone has returned to the "Yamato Nadeshiko" and "elegant young lady" tone that Aoto is familiar with... This makes Aoto relax a little.

——Miss Sanako, is she so... pure?

Qingdeng thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of a more suitable adjective than "pure".

Just by accidentally glancing at the man's upper body, he showed such a big reaction... Qingdeng was really surprised.

Obviously Sanako is not the kind of person who grew up in a boudoir and has never even seen a few men.

Qingteng couldn't help but recall Sanako's awkward behavior just now, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in a joking tone:

——Miss Sanako occasionally shows a very uneasy side...

Qingto, who can't see Sanako's front, doesn't know now... Sanako's bare hands, naturally folded on his knees, are clenched slightly due to the confusion of thoughts in his mind, and his eyes seem to be out of focus.

uncertain.

Sanako, who grew up in a swordsmanship hall, naturally couldn't have never seen a half-fruited male body.

Often, some disciples who have become enthusiastic about sword practice will take off their clothes very boldly, exposing their chests and backs.

When walking on the street on weekdays, there are often some townsfolk who are running around for a living, stripping down to only the fabrics on their bodies.

However - every body I have seen so far seems not as impressive as Qingteng's...

People in this era suffer from the disadvantage of not understanding modern fitness knowledge and scientific exercise.

Unless work requires it, the townspeople who rely on handicrafts for a living will not go out of their way to exercise.

Although warriors who practice martial arts will deliberately exercise in order to improve their martial arts skills, they have no idea how to exercise scientifically and efficiently.

Many people don’t even understand the most basic nutritional intake, or even though they understand it, they don’t have the ability to do it.

Therefore, due to limited knowledge and financial status, most people who work out to improve their martial arts skills have not built much muscle.

Compared with the body that is "white-cut chicken", with a big belly or not much muscle, Qingdeng's body is full of small and lean muscles without any fat, which is quite impressive.

The scenes he saw when he turned around just now flashed back and forth in front of Sanako's eyes uncontrollably...

——Enough! What’s so good about this kind of thing!

Sanako cursed himself inwardly angrily, then closed his eyes and tried hard to clear his mind, preventing his brain from recalling the scene he had just seen.

Qingteng was behind Sanako, and Sanako was concentrating on emptying his head, so at this moment, no one was lucky enough to notice that a "cherry blossom" was blooming.

As if being smudged by the highest-grade paint, Sanako's beautiful face is glowing with a lovely cherry pink color...

…

…

Due to the accident of being picked on by the "Sanako Suitors Army", Aoto's time at the Little Chiba Sword Hall today was much longer than expected.

When the time came to 11 o'clock, Ayoto, who felt that he had stayed at the Little Chiba Sword Hall for too long, decided to leave and return to the Trial Guard Hall.

Knowing that Aoto wanted to leave, Chiba Jutaro immediately came to persuade Aoto to stay and asked Aoto to stay for lunch before leaving, but Aoto had already decided to leave.

So, with Sanako, Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Tamonshiro and Radish seeing each other off, they started on their way home.

Today's weather is as hot as ever.

After walking a few steps on the street, Qingdeng's body was wet with a large amount of sweat again.

Just now, after finishing the battle with the heroes of the Little Chiba Sword Hall, I forgot to ask for water from Sanako and the others because I was not very thirsty.

Now, under the scorching sun, Qingden, who had lost water from his body again, felt his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry.

At this time, Qingden suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar teahouse in front of him.

This teahouse is not far from the Shiwei Hall and sells good snacks and tea. It is one of Okita's favorite teahouses.

Okita and Aoto had strongly recommended this tea house before, and even brought Aoto to visit several times... The tea and snacks in this tea house really tasted good, and were quite suitable for Aoto's taste.

Looking at this teahouse that Okita had brought him to several times, Aomori hesitated for a moment, and then strode towards the teahouse.

——Drink a glass of cold sweet water before going back...

While thinking this in his mind, Qingteng had already opened the door curtain of the teahouse.

Qingden sat down at a low table located in an inconspicuous corner and ordered a cup of sweet water and a plate of dorayaki from a young girl named Tedai...

Among the many types of confectionery at teahouses and wagashi shops, Aoto's favorite is the dorayaki filled with sweet red bean paste.

Whenever you come to a tea house, as long as you have an appetite, you must have a plate of Dorayaki.

It will take a while for the food and drinks to be served.

In order to pass the boring waiting time, Qingtou simply did the "vital capacity exercise" that Kiryu taught him before, while continuing to think about the talent content of the "Sword Saint", that is, the so-called "supreme realm of martial arts".

Kiryu hasn't told him why he needs to exercise his lung capacity until now.

Whenever Qingto couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked him "What is the purpose of practicing lung capacity?", Kiryu would always smile and say: "Don't worry, I will tell you later what the purpose of practicing lung capacity is."

"

Although the reason for exercising lung capacity is still unclear, Qingto still obediently followed Kiryu's instructions and devoted a lot of time every day to do the "vital capacity exercise method" that Kiryu taught him.

Before you know it, it has almost become a habit.

Whenever you have a short period of time like now, waiting for food and drinks to be served, you will unconsciously start to exercise your lung capacity.

——"The highest realm of martial arts"...for this kind of thing, you should only ask the master and boss Kiryu...

Due to his limited experience and knowledge, Qingden couldn't figure out what this "supreme realm of martial arts" was, no matter how hard he tried.

After thinking about it, I realized that the right solution would be to consult the knowledgeable seniors in the martial arts world.

The only elders in the martial arts world that Aomori is familiar with now are Shusuke, who is nearly 70 years old, and Boss Kiryu, who is 92 years old this year.

These two old comrades are quite old, and they both have considerable attainments in swordsmanship and are well-informed.

Especially Boss Kiryu.

This legendary swordsman, who still seems to have many secrets in his possession, in terms of knowledge level, should be still above Zhousuke, who is about twenty years younger than him.

——Let’s find time to ask them later...

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

At this moment, Qingdeng felt sincerely: Questions were coming one after another. Before the last question was solved, a new question immediately came...

More than 2 months ago, when he had a life-or-death fight with Kamaitachi, he couldn't explain why, but for a while, he clearly felt that he had successfully unleashed his "power"!

This is quite a wonderful feeling.

Obviously no one had ever told him in detail what it was like to release "momentum", but just like people can naturally learn to blink and cry without being taught, he had an indescribable feeling at that moment, automatically.

Then I realized that I had released my "power".

At the same time as he released the "momentum", Qingden saw the particularly magical "air flow" from Kamitachi's body that could guide him to predict Kamitatsu's movements.

After the war, Qingteng tried to release his "power" again and tried to observe the "qi flow" from others again.
To be continued...
