The Two-Element Elbow is a powerful weapon in Bajiquan, and the most famous aspect of Bajiquan is the use of the "elbow".

Better to take ten punches than one elbow; taking one will only result in broken bones and torn tendons.

Uesugi Kiyoshi used his left hand to entangle Ye San's right hand, pulling him forcefully towards himself. He then assumed a half-horse stance and used his right elbow to strike, a standard Two Forms Elbow stance.

Ye San remained calm and composed, even managing a smile.

The next second, Ye San's right hand, which had been restrained, suddenly exerted force and became entangled with Uesugi Kiyoshi's left arm. At the same time, his left fist changed from a shoulder grip to a supporting grip, and with a light touch, he met Uesugi Kiyoshi's elbow tip, twisting and lifting it away, sending the fierce Two-Element Elbow flying.

Immediately afterwards, Master Ye took a half step back and moved aside, while Uesugi Kiyoshi almost tripped over his own elbow.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression was somewhat indifferent, and a sense of overwhelming frustration welled up inside him.

He hurriedly steadied himself and exhaled a breath of stale air.

We lost; the outcome is already decided.

If it were a life-or-death battle, I'd be dead eight times over.

This Master Ye may look frail, but he is incredibly fast and his strength is no less than mine. If it were a life-or-death battle, he would be a nightmare opponent.

Yes, Wing Chun is highly practical in combat, difficult to learn, and very powerful.

But you can't keep pushing yourself so hard that you can't even catch your breath, right?

Perhaps my talent in martial arts is limited, and I'm not as skilled as others, so I guess I'll just have to accept my defeat.

But it hasn't even been five minutes yet.

He's still young, he's not so bad at losing, but he can't lose so helplessly. At the very least, he has to make Master Ye's relaxed expression disappear.

That's so hurtful to someone's self-esteem.

In the blink of an eye, Uesugi Kiyoshi adjusted his mindset.

He slowly raised his head and sighed softly, "I cannot defeat Senior Ye's Wing Chun."

"I am a dull person and not good at martial arts. My skills are just trivial. Please forgive me."

He's quite straightforward; losing to a senior isn't shameful.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took two steps back and said in a solemn voice, "Senior, I am about to use my sword. Please don't be offended."

Ye San nodded and smiled, gesturing for Uesugi Kiyoshi to make himself at home.

Onikiri cannot be used; that murderous blade is meant to determine life and death, not for sparring.

An ebony sword would be suitable for the current situation, but Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't bring it.

After a moment's thought, he turned to his head and said, "Maki, can I borrow the ship for a while?"

Maki Higashiwagi was frowning, concerned about the situation on the field. The two had just exchanged several moves in a mere few dozen seconds.

But the constant exchange of punches and kicks was dazzling to watch.

Upon hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi speak, Higashimaki Maki didn't even hesitate before throwing the reverse-blade ship into the air.

He waved and took the boat from the boat, then drew his sword. A flash of cold light crossed his handsome face, and he felt inexplicably at ease.

Sure enough, things that have been diligently studied and practiced since childhood, forming muscle memory and being thoroughly familiar to the mind, are more reliable.

Trying to compete with Master Ye using a hastily learned Bajiquan is practically suicide.

Uesugi Kiyoshi held the tip of his sword diagonally in front of him, his confident expression once again shining on his face.

"Senior Ye, would you like to use a weapon?"

"Knife or stick?"

Wing Chun has two unique weapon techniques: the Eight-Cut Saber, which is unparalleled in its use of the blade, and the Six-and-a-Half Staff, which is unparalleled in its use of the staff. These are the sword and staff that Uesugi Kiyoshi mentioned.

Ye San looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi, who seemed like a completely different person, and shook his head with a nonchalant smile.

"Young man, it's good to be confident, but don't look down on others."

"I have been practicing Wing Chun for forty years. My Qi moves with my heart and penetrates into my bones. I am impervious to swords and spears and armor."

"The number of people killed by those fists, or things even more terrifying than humans, is unknown."

"And even if you started practicing swordsmanship from the womb, how many years could you practice?"

"Come on, that Bajiquan you just did was quite interesting. Although it was only the basics, it was very solid and showed that you had put in a lot of hard work."

"Now, let me see how much of a surprise your calloused swordsmanship can give me~"

Looking at Ye San, whose aura was as deep and unfathomable, Uesugi Kiyoshi sheathed his sword at his waist, bowed slightly, and adopted a very ordinary, commonplace Iai stance.

At the same time, his clear voice rang out in the courtyard.

"In that case."

"The New Kage-ryu Inner Chapter—Uesugi Kiyoshi, please give me your guidance!"

-

PY time.

I'm recommending a friend's book, "I'm a Dog God in Tokyo," which is also a Tokyo-style Onmyoji (yin-yang master) story.

Readers who are as handsome as my beloved Uesugi Kiyoshi should check this out!

P.S. It's going to be released soon. I've been experimenting with different things in this storyline lately to see what kind of content you readers prefer.

There was no other way; most of the book reviews were negative, and I couldn't get any feedback, so I had to resort to this tactic.

This is no joke. Dialogue, fights, and verbal sparring are all much harder to write than simply driving the plot forward. They take a lot of time and seem somewhat thankless now.

How about we start a book club and crowdfund the writing of a book?

To be honest, I originally planned to give the protagonist a power-up that was traditional martial arts. I did a lot of research, but I felt that using traditional martial arts in the Tokyo-style might be misleading and out of place. After thinking about it, I decided to go with the flow.

The fewer updates are because I'm accumulating chapters; once it's published, I'll definitely release a lot more.

Oh, I almost forgot to ask for votes~

Chapter 103 The outcome is decided

If life is likened to a game, then Uesugi Kiyoshi is certain that he possesses a talent similar to "sword proficiency".

He learns swordsmanship quickly and uses it well. He can understand many sword techniques that ordinary people find obscure and difficult to understand at a glance, as if he has learned them countless times before.

When he has a sword in his hand, his spirit and energy are completely different from usual.

This sharp edge is the foundation of his livelihood, and it has gradually supported his beliefs and slowly fermenting ambitions.

His fingers slowly opened, then gripped the boat tightly again.

As Uesugi Kiyoshi felt the unfamiliar touch and quality of the sword, the cold light in his eyes vanished, and the sword's edge was drawn from its sheath.

He took a step forward, half a step, gripped his sword in the back of his hand, and unleashed a simple, straightforward Kasaya Slash towards Ye San's neck.

But in Ye San's eyes, it really was just a moment, and the dazzling blade light was already three inches in front of him.

The speed of this strike was already three points faster than the thinking speed of an ordinary person.

If an ordinary person were here, they probably wouldn't even have time to react before being beheaded.

Ye San was no ordinary person.

His pupils contracted slightly as he fully absorbed the "line" of the sword strike into his mind, and within a tenth of a second, he devised a countermeasure.

With his body moving in unison with his mind, Ye San moved as if he were dancing a ballroom dance. Using his right leg as a fulcrum, he drew a semi-circle, swung his body to the right and back, moved his left foot back a meter and landed, and at the same time lowered his body, bent his left knee and pushed upwards, then turned his palm into a slap, completely deflecting the iaido move.

The other onlookers showed no unusual reaction, but Kamisumi, who had been standing behind Azuma Maki, subtly changed his expression.

She uses a sword and knows best the power of swordsmanship techniques.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's Iaijutsu was completely unpretentious, with only one advantage: speed.

A swift knife is always harder to parry than a slow one.

If she were to face this attack, she would probably choose to counter with the same swift blade, forcing the opponent to defend and risk her life, rather than choosing to "cut down".

Because of this kind of counter-attack technique that strikes first after being struck later, it is extremely difficult to defend against such a fast blade.

Just as she was secretly admiring this amazing strike, something even more unbelievable happened.

What did that somewhat thin, casually-looking Chinese boxer do?

He managed to block the sword-wielding attack with his bare fists.

Even if the swords in the ship are reverse-blade swords, this is still too outrageous!

This is no ordinary mortal body, this must be a monster reincarnated!

Shen Cheng's mind raced, and he understood why the president had sent the young lady here to ask for help. Tokyo really is a place where hidden talents abound!

At the same time, she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with some worry in her eyes. Did he really have a chance of winning against such a monstrous boxer?

Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, however, showed no trace of complicated emotions.

His deadly iaido strike was blocked, but he showed no frustration, anger, or disappointment.

There was only a calm and uneventful atmosphere, and within that calm, a growing excitement and fighting spirit slowly ignited.

His movements did not falter in the slightest. Although a powerful inch-force emanated from the sword, deflecting his Iaijutsu, he channeled his power into his arm, propelling the boat to forcefully turn around in mid-air, stabilizing his sword stance, and unleashing a thunderous strike from above.

Ye San smiled slightly, his expression more relaxed than before.

A preemptive strike?

Both launching a preemptive attack and countering a preemptive attack are signature skills of Wing Chun.

Why is it called "Seeking the Bridge"?

This means finding the opponent's bridge player.

"Bridge Hand" is a term used in Southern Fist. This technique involves using the forearm to block and parry when defending, and to strike and punch when attacking.

The key to finding the bridge is to hone your footwork to adapt to the opponent's changes, control the opponent's offensive and defensive rhythm, and find opportunities to cut in and defeat the enemy in one strike.

Close-quarters combat and quick, precise movements were exactly what Ye San wanted.

Yes, Uesugi Kiyoshi held the sword in the boat; every inch longer, every inch stronger. But in Ye San's eyes, that sword was nothing more than an extension of his arm.
