Amid the astonishment, Aoi, who was usually taciturn and had the least sense of presence among the troops of the Third Division, was the first to say in shock:

"Tachibana-sama, you...want to fight us alone using the 'Litikiri' method? Are you sure?"

"What?" Qingdeng tilted his head and smiled calmly at Lan Jingyang, "Don't you believe I have that strength?"

Hearing this, Lan Jingyang quickly bowed his head and apologized:

"No, I don't dare..."

Qingden withdrew his gaze from Lan Jingyang, glanced at the faces of his subordinates, and said seriously:

"As I said yesterday, the reason why we suddenly decided to hold a martial arts competition is to use the competition to test your strength."

"As the current captain of the Third Division of the Fire Thieves Kaigai, I would be really derelict of my duty if I couldn't even tell how many pounds my subordinates weighed."

"Since this is a competition with the purpose of testing your skills, it is most appropriate for me to be your opponent in person."

"As for whether I have the strength to compete with so many of you... you don't need to consider this issue."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Time is precious! Get your best weapons and get to your stations!"

Qingdeng pursed his lips towards his feet.

I saw a large number of bamboo swords, wooden guns and other training weapons piled at his feet.

As a "quasi-military base", the army camp converted by the Huo Fu Thieves will not lack various equipment related to martial arts training.

"Let's compete in this school field. It just so happens that the weather is beautiful today, and the weather is neither hot nor cold."

The soldiers of the third division looked at each other.

Although the reasons given by Qingtou are very reasonable, if we want to examine their strength, there are obviously many simpler and more relaxed methods available, so why do they choose "rikkari" and do it by themselves?

Or this method of torturing yourself so much?

Although the team members were full of doubts, they did not dare to say any more.

They stepped forward one after another and took out their best weapons.

In fact, they are right to be surprised.

Looking at his subordinates who came up one by one to get their weapons, Qingdeng's lips raised a faint smile that suggested "the plan was clear".

——Very good...! I hope to be able to copy some talents that are as useful as possible later!

The reason why Qingdeng announced the "in-team competition" so suddenly was indeed to examine the overall strength of his troops - but this was only a secondary reason.

The main reason is to gain talents from the members of the tribe!

Qingto had been looking forward to this day when he learned that he had been transferred to the right as the new captain of the third division of the Huofu Thieves Kai - the third division had a total of 60 people. With so many people, it was completely impossible

It is possible to copy one or two talents that can come in handy.

Therefore, it is obvious why Qingden chose "rikkari" as the competition style for this competition, and became a rikkari player himself - what other competition style can compare with everyone one by one?

Is "Liqi", which is used to compete with those who challenge, still suitable for gathering talents?

While gathering talents, supporting others can further establish one's authority in front of the tribesmen and consolidate one's "powerful" image in the eyes of the tribesmen.

It's so beautiful to achieve multiple things with one stone.

…

…

Qingdeng stood in the corner of the school grounds holding his bamboo sword.

His number one opponent, a short Tongxin who will reach 1.4 meters in height, stood opposite Qingdeng.

The rest of the people stood in a circle with the competition ground as the center.

Qingdeng nodded to the number one opponent on the opposite side, then held the bamboo sword in the middle position, squatted down, and performed the squatting ceremony.

The opponent also crouched at the same time. He seemed to be well versed in the principle of "strike first to gain the upper hand".

The next moment after the ceremony, he swung his sword and struck Qingdeng's waist without warning - he originally wanted to cut Qingdeng's chest, but because he was nearly 40 centimeters shorter than Qingdeng, the huge height difference meant that his sword was only

It is easier to chop at Qingdeng's waist and below.

Qingden straightened his sword to block the incoming attack, then took three steps back to put some distance between himself and the opponent, and did not step forward to actively attack.

It's the same old routine - he's waiting for the 10 seconds necessary to copy a talent from someone else to pass.

10 seconds later, Qing Deng quickly swung his sword amid stone fire and lightning, hitting the opponent's body.

In order not to injure anyone, Qingdeng used a lot of strength.

But even so, when the opponent's body without protective gear received this blow, he fainted immediately.

Just before this person fell to the ground, another person had already strode forward and rushed towards Qingdeng.

According to the rules of "rikkari", except for the first person and the last person, no squatting ceremony is allowed in between. Everyone just rushes forward to fight with the rikkari without interruption. If one person falls, the next one will be replaced immediately.

As the new opponent, Fang launched a fierce offensive against Qingdeng as soon as he entered the battle.

He raised his upper body and struck with his sword.

Whether aggressive or conservative, no matter what kind of strategy the opponent adopts, Qingdeng's tactics... or routine remains the same: wait for 10 seconds before talking!

Snap! Snap!

Qingdeng connects the opponent with 2 knives.

The sound of the bamboo sword hitting the air lifted people's spirits - Qingdeng gradually entered the state.

When the opponent raised the knife high again and was about to swing the third knife, the 10 seconds happened to be up.

Qingden was seen arriving first. Although the timing of swinging his sword was half a beat slower than that of his opponent, the bamboo sword in his hand struck his opponent's body first.

The man and the bamboo sword flew out together.

Before Qingdeng could spit out the ray of oxygen he had just breathed into his mouth, the next opponent's bamboo sword was already swept by the wind.

Defend, wait for 10 seconds, and then raise your sword in mid-air to intercept the opponent's bamboo sword. Complete in one go.

The moment the bamboo swords of both sides were entangled, Qingdeng exerted force on his wrist and shook his opponent's bamboo sword away, leaving the door wide open.

In the next moment, Qingden stepped forward, and the two figures merged into one - when the two figures separated, one of them slowly fell to the ground, and the one who was still standing turned around to face the next attacker.

opponent.

——Weaker than expected...

Ever since the night before yesterday, Qingteng has not had any expectations for the overall quality of the Third Division... no, correct it, for the Huo Fu Thieves Reform Army.

But even though he had lowered his expectations, Qingdeng couldn't help but feel disappointed by the performance of his subordinates.

So far, no opponent's martial arts strength can make Qing Teng shine.

He has neither commendable skills nor any special talents... Until now, Qingdeng's mind is still silent, and the system has not been able to operate.

In less than 5 minutes, Qingdeng knocked 10 people to the ground effortlessly.

When the 11th opponent entered the battle, the situation finally changed slightly.

As soon as the 11th opponent entered the battle, he showed an exciting momentum that was completely different from his predecessors.

He adopts the upper right structure, raising the knife above his head, opening his mouth wide, revealing a set of neat white teeth, and then——

"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!"

——Show current flow!

Qingdeng looked stern.

Having experienced many times how wild and ferocious swordsmen in the show can be in battle, Qingden raised his sword after a moment's thought and switched his sword-holding stance to a steady mid-section.

Soon after he said it, the opponent leaned forward to attack, shouting incessantly.

Qingdeng slowly adjusted his breathing, lowered his waist slightly and tightened his shoulders, hiding most of his body in the shadow of the bamboo sword.

Any discerning person with a little knowledge of martial arts can see that Qingdeng's posture hides amazing explosive power.

It's like an arrow already on the bow - ready to go.

——It’s okay to be a swordsman with a modern style...

It just so happened that Qingteng had just recently mastered a new move that he had not yet had time to show to anyone.

It would be appropriate for an up-to-date swordsman to be the first target of this new move...

I saw Qingdeng take a deep breath, his broad chest quickly inflated like a blower, and the next moment his entire upper body "expanded" to the limit——

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!"

A shrill cry like an ape burst out from Qingdeng's throat.

The "golden voice" that enhances the durability of the vocal cords, the "Cloud-Splitting Stone" that enhances the brightness of the voice, and the "iron lung" that enhances cardiopulmonary function - all three are activated at the same time!

Circles of sound waves hit all around with the force of wind and lingering clouds!

The sudden loud and piercing cry not only frightened the swordsman who was charging towards him with a sword, but also frightened the rest of the people waiting nearby to go into battle.
