I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

"Hey, Kenshin~" The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, so Yoshino Ikoma came to Kenshin Himura that night with a snack.

Honestly, Ikoma Yoshino is the type of lady with a more youthful, elegant appearance, but for some reason her aura always gives off a lecherous vibe. It's like this fitted kimono, which always looks a size too big. When no one is around, she'll be a virtuous lady, revealing areas that shouldn't be exposed to serve Beidou Xinwei. But when there are people around, she's a real lady, too lazy to even show a finger.

She came with the extra meal that she had specially requested for Kenshin Himura.

The snack is very rich, and Beidou Xinwei personally cooks the braised pork rice in just three minutes.

Kenshin Himura could smell the scent from a distance, and his saliva was watering.

"It's time to eat, Kenshin-chan~" Ikoma Yoshino placed the plate in her hand next to Himura Kenshin who was reading, and said, "Our master said that you are thin and weak, and it's time for you to grow. Kikyo and I don't have such a good life. You need to grow, so you have to eat more every day. Try to grow another foot~"

I am less than 1.4 meters tall, but I will work hard for 100 days to become 1.6 meters tall.

"Ah?" Kenshin Himura looked at the dishes in front of him in confusion. Although it is a Japanese proverb that children who eat well and sleep more will grow fast, but... does he really have the ability to grow so tall?

"Thank you, Master...are these all for me?"

"Yes, Master said these are all for you." Ikoma Yoshino thought to herself, "I can't eat so much. I'm already very happy to eat the various flavors of food made by Master for three meals a day. If I eat too much, won't I become a fat pig? I have basically figured out what kind of woman Master likes these days."

Even Princess Nobuhime didn’t have time to tell her.

"Thank you, Master!" Growing children eat a lot, let alone slaves who hadn't had enough to eat until recently. The young girl, Kenshin, happily began to eat heartily.

"Then... Kenshin-chan?" Ikoma Yoshino smiled and looked at the secret book that the girl had put into her arms. She asked curiously, "Is this the secret book that the master gave you?"

"Yes." The silly girl smiled innocently while eating.

"Can you let me see~~~" Yoshino Ikoma climbed up the pole.

"No." However, Kenshin answered without hesitation, without any extra thoughts. He simply told you: No!

"......?" Why are you so stubborn? "Is it really not possible, Kenshin-chan? Tell me about the contents of the book."

"No."

……grass!

When I saw her in tattered clothes, I almost forgot! This little girl in front of me has a surname! Like me, she is the daughter of a warrior family! She still knows the most basic rules. How could a warrior show off his family's unique skills to others? Not to mention the so-called apprenticeship... Oops! Although this girl looked dazed.

But in reality, the three views have already been formed! What should I do? This...

It didn't really matter. I just wanted to ask about the contents of the book. If I couldn't get the answer, it didn't matter. I didn't rely on force to solve problems anyway.

A woman’s greatest weapon is not force, and Yoshino Ikoma is well aware of this - you are still too young.

"Is the master a good man?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Well then." Ikoma Yoshino wasn't interested in the swordsmanship manual. The truth was revealed, and he wanted to ask something else.

In later generations, 15 years old is considered a serious early love. In the Warring States Period, it was not uncommon for a 15-year-old to be the mother of several children.

"You are so nice to me..." Ikoma Yoshino looked at the beautiful girl in front of her who looked like Lin Daiyu, delicate and thin, and asked, "Suki-da? (Do you like it?)"

There is no need to test a pure person, because their sincerity is like the true face of the world.

It’s hard to say whether you will go crazy after seeing the true face of the world, and it’s hard to say whether you will go crazy after seeing the true face of a person.

The red-haired girl gave an answer without hesitation.

"Like? Stop kidding." The girl gave Yoshino Ikoma an unyieldingly cute expression.

"Oh?" Ikoma Yoshino was delighted. Every fewer competitor was a better one, because she could see that the unremitting expression was real.

"I can die for my master." The red-haired girl said this lightly and continued to eat.

“…”Oh no, could it be that I met some fanatic girl?

"Um... you just met the master not long ago, right? Well... I'm really worried about your future. If you run away with someone after eating a few meals, then you better be careful in the future. There are a lot of bad men out there."

To Ikoma Yoshino, this was a free meal ticket from her best friend, Oda Nobuhime! Young, wealthy, and promising, not to mention handsome and physically fit, she couldn't imagine how she would handle him if he ever unleashed his bestial nature! But beyond the material gains, spiritual attachment had yet to be cultivated. It was the initial stage of liking someone, liking their looks and abilities.

"Master saved me—his life, and my soul." The red-haired girl said this very seriously, "I don't know how to put it. When I was in the most danger, Master grabbed my hand that was stretched out for help. I cried out to the whole world for help, and only Master responded. He saw my most cowardly side, but affirmed my cowardice. He also taught me how to turn cowardice into a strong backing—he is the greatest savior in my mind! I can give everything for him. Well... that should be the feeling."

"..." You don't know what to say? I think you said it very clearly.

"Alas." The opponent, Kijiayi, Ikoma Yoshino, gently wiped the girl's face with her fingers. "Poor child...Okay, you are right, the master is really a pushover. You will know how pushover he is in the future. Now you should eat well and grow up well! In the future... the master will need you."

"Hayi!"

————————————————————————

Kenshin Himura is indeed a master with the sword.

Beidou Xinwei used the "Teaching" skill to educate the other party on "The Analects".

I don't know why his own understanding of the "Swinging Language" actually helped improve his swordsmanship. Is this the power of the system?

The famous martial artist Zhao Lirong once mentioned in her book in Tangshan dialect: You have to train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer to develop real kung fu!

In addition to the theoretical courses, Beidou Xinwei also personally taught Jianxin the swordsmanship courses. This made the others present a little confused.

"Well, today I will give you the formal instruction of this style." Beidou Xinwei tilted his head as he looked at the girl in front of him who was wearing an ordinary male kendo uniform.

Chapter 60: The current ancestor of China, the spirit, dominates the world

"Yes, Master!" The red-haired girl bowed ninety degrees.

There were two onlookers around. Yoshino Ikoma wanted to see how the sword master-level beautiful boy taught, so she specially brought a tray with two cups of tea and a plate of snacks on it, as if she was going to watch the show from the front row.

Kikyo happened to be preoccupied with other matters today—she had some professional matters to discuss with Nobuyuki Hokuto. However, this didn't stop her from sitting on the nearby porch, watching Nobuyuki Hokuto teach in the courtyard. Dressed in a miko costume, she thanked Yoshino Ikoma, who was wearing a gofuku (the official name for an ancient kimono), and began to eat a small pancake.

"First of all, let me explain one thing. This school is called 'Feitian Yujian Style'. This style is a modified school. I apologize for that. Because our founder's ability was insufficient, he was not able to learn even one ten-thousandth of his exquisite sword techniques. Therefore, he could only modify the fragments and adapt it into the Feitian Yujian Style in an incomplete form."

"...Huh?" Not only the future red-haired swordsman girl, but also Kikyo and Ikoma Yoshino beside her were confused by this statement.

"Master, you are so powerful, the sword technique you use... is actually improved from the fragments?"

"Yes, our sect originated from the Ming Dynasty, about two thousand years ago." Beidou Xinwei nodded slightly and raised two fingers. In an instant, his presence made the three Japanese girls present fall in love with him.

From the Taika Reform to the Meiji Restoration at the end of the shogunate, Japan experienced a period of "Tangification" for over a thousand years. The clothing they wore was called Wufu, the most aristocratic class was called the "nobles," the official language was Chinese, and the written language was Hanshu! For the Japanese people of this period, China was their true spiritual homeland.

Just like the Japanese people of later generations say that their spiritual homeland is Paris, France, in a sense, it is the result of the "Yi Lin" being absorbed into their minds. The cultural output is strong enough, and there are great scholars who can debate for me without entering the country.

"Two thousand years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a woman in Wu and Yue whose name is unknown. Because she lived beneath the trees, she was nicknamed the 'Woodland Virgin.' She was a carefree and unrestrained woman, living with immortal monkeys in the mountains and learning supreme swordsmanship.

Later, King Gou Jian of Yue, after enduring hardships, sought out the maiden from the woods to become his swordsman. The Yue Kingdom was known for its swordfighting, and many generals and swordsmen were unwilling to submit. The maiden from the woods, with a single bamboo pole, overthrew three thousand of the Yue army! Later, she led three thousand Yue troops to conquer the Kingdom of Wu, with the maiden from the woods as the primary achievement. Later, all the famous swordsmen of Yue learned the basics of the maiden's swordsmanship, and together they combined their methods, dubbing them the "Sword of the Yue Girl"—making her the first ancestor of their school.

"..." The three girls listened to this almost impossible story, suddenly mesmerized. Could all this be true? Even if it wasn't, there was indeed history about Goujian, the King of Yue, sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, and the 3,000-man army of Yue conquering Wu. But what if it were true... a young girl, with a bamboo pole? Could she overthrow 3,000 fully-armed Yue soldiers?

"'The Sword of Yue Girl' is still popular today, but everyone focuses solely on the sword techniques. They forget that the maiden under the forest wasn't learning swordsmanship at all, but rather playing with it. Her swordsmanship was a natural, playful creation, a playful play with a fairy monkey. To fixate on the techniques would be an imitation, a laughingstock. Thousands of years later, Li Bai, the illustrious poet, wine drinker, and swordsman, grasped its true meaning and penned a famous poem while drinking. Its exquisite blend of martial arts is beyond the grasp of ordinary people. Therefore, it has been passed down through the ages, with famous poems like Zhao Keman and Hu Ying's 'The Knight's Song' and the poem 'The White Jade Capital in Heaven, Twelve Towers and Five Cities. The Immortal strokes my head, and I receive eternal life through my marriage.'"

With all the bragging going on here, it's almost certain they've coerced the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels for show. This world, of course, isn't Jin Yong's; it's simply been co-opted by Beidou Xinwei for show. The use of historical figures in this kind of martial arts fiction is so abstruse and abstruse that the medieval masses certainly hadn't encountered such unofficial history. While this kind of unofficial history may not be authentic, it's certainly wild enough! This nine-truth, one-false narrative, combined with Beidou Xinwei's truly exquisite swordsmanship, is hard to believe.

"Five hundred years later, another sage emerged. His name was Dugu Qiubai! He studied the Daodejing and the Sword of the Yue Girl, and mastered the true art of swordsmanship. The Daodejing says: 'Those who are good at counting do not need counting sticks.'

Using the sutras to control the sword, he attained the concept of "nothingness." He created the Dugu Nine Swords, a fragment of which states, "No move is better than a move." The ultimate state is to have no sword in hand, no sword in the heart. Yet, it is contained within the universe, within all things. Flying flowers and plucked leaves can wound; grass, wood, bamboo, and stone can all become swords.

"Our sect is a fragment of a fragment." Beidou Xinwei shook his head slightly, pretending to sigh, and sighed, "Our moves are fixed. Since the beginning of our sect, we have been comprehending the wrong path. The sword method has been fixed, and the moves are stubborn and unchanging. Although we may be unique in Japan, we cannot be called a hero of the world. And although our sect is a fragment of a fragment, when we teach, we emphasize the oral and mental transmission of the method just like our ancestors. Kenshin, you are the one I have chosen."

Beidou Xinwei looked at the completely stunned Himura Kenshin before him, who was being described as traveling through the universe. Beidou Xinwei said, "I chose you because, firstly, you are loyal and have the spirit of a great hero. I believe in your character. Secondly, you have exceptional aptitude and are well-suited to learning the intricacies of our sect's teachings. When you have achieved great success in the future, if you don't find a suitable person, do not pass on our teachings lightly. It's not that I'm afraid of our teachings leaking out, but even if I did, it would be meaningless if they couldn't learn. If you imitate someone like the ugly Dong Shi, you'd forget your true self and harm them."

"Is... is that so? Master... Master." Kenshin hesitated for a moment and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't expect our school to have such a long history. That... oral transmission and teaching, I am the only one who can learn it? Master, I'm afraid I can't..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I said you can do it because we have the shock of the sword spirit, you just didn't feel it." Beidou Xinwei smiled slightly.

it is good!

I've been bragging for so long, but now the truth is revealed! I'm so sorry for the long map of Yan State, but this is also an actor... sorry. A teacher's self-cultivation! - I can't let my students think I'm a loser! At the very least, I can't let them find out that I'm teaching nonsense!

"Kenshin, follow me."

[Ding! — The teaching system starts.]

Beidou Xinwei has entered the teaching stage.

Like everyone who's played the tutorial, it's a long, drawn-out process, consisting of nothing more than WASD, left-click to attack, right-click to block. Shooting requires an R to reload, and combat tutorials include a move list. Most players skip it—then enter the game and curse, "How can this game be played?"

However, Beidou Xinwei’s teaching system cannot be skipped.

The girl felt a masculine figure suddenly embrace her from behind, and her whole body froze in an instant.

Chapter 61: The Sword Moves with Me, (Only Later) Can I Get Rid of My Pregnancy

"Master... Master?"

The other two people who did not want to reveal their names, Kikyo and Ikoma Yoshino, also became alert. Ikoma Yoshino was more alert, while Kikyo's knowledge reserve was not enough and she was a little confused.

"Relax—Okay, strike a pose..."

Then, the girl felt her body slowly begin to move in sync with Beidou Xinwei's movements. Everything seemed to be handed over to the man behind her, a magical feeling that made her feel like she was floating on clouds. Her entire body felt like it was floating in the air, and every pore seemed to be expressing this harmony of life. Her expression changed from shyness to obedience, and then, the two of them became like the most perfect dance partners.

Dancing gracefully in the small courtyard.

However, the sword tip moved accordingly.

"This move is called Dragon Nest Flash—"

[Ding: Tutorial content: Light attack (0/1)... Good, well done (1/1).]

"This place is called Dragon Nest Flash Bite—"

[Ding: Tutorial content: Heavy attack (0/1)... Good, well done (1/1).]

Following the system's instruction, Beidou Xinwei was quite amused by randomly coming up with names. While it might seem like a simple attacking stance, the ability to perform it repeatedly without even the slightest deformation was the ultimate goal that ordinary warriors could never hope to achieve!

[Ding, tutorial content: Finishing move Nine-Headed Dragon Flash (0/1)... This sword technique allows you to perform nine attacks within the speed of a single attack. You haven't acquired this skill yet (it can be purchased in the store). This tutorial is for free use... Good, well done (1/1)]

"Open your heart and follow me, feel me with your heart! - The ultimate secret of Feitian Yujian Style: Nine-headed Dragon Flash!"

It was the first time that Kikyo and Ikoma Yoshino saw Beidou Xinwei draw his sword, and except for a few "lucky ones", no one had ever seen Beidou Xinwei's "Nine-Headed Dragon Flash" when he first went to the battlefield - after all, the system only gave it to him once. Later, Beidou Xinwei felt that the system currency was too precious, and he developed a hoarding disorder in the late stage of squirrel syndrome. He had a lot of currency in his hands and didn't know what to buy, so he simply didn't buy anything.

Moreover, the habit he developed from playing roguelike games of "don't add points if it's enough, and see what equipment attribute requirements there are later" also allows him to defeat generals and capture flags in a team of dozens of people, so he is not in a hurry to add points to buy skills.

of course.

Beidou Xinwei is stingy.

But, at that moment! — A feeling that the young swordsman would never forget passed through her hand. This moment, which passed through her hand, also became the goal she would pursue for her entire life, as she looked towards the other person's back.

The two onlookers watching were so engrossed in watching this that they nearly dropped their melons. Ah? Was there really such a superb sword technique in this world?!

All the swordsmen in Japan who got the news were also shocked:

Huh? Such exquisite swordsmanship exists in this world? Such a high barrier to entry? — And such a prestigious swordsmanship heritage?

...No! I may not be able to understand the first two.

But, the last part about pretending to be cool... I, I have to learn it! Otherwise, who would come to my gym to learn from me in the future?

--------------

Because of his record of reporting without authorization, Ikoma Yoshino also specifically asked Beidou Nobuyuki——

"Master, your sect is so prominent and has a long history. I...is this something I should know? Oh, this kind of rare secret should be passed down by word of mouth within the sect, right? How come you didn't know to avoid us?" Ikoma Yoshino said a few words to Beidou Nobuo with some complaints - and then hurriedly wiped the sweat off Beidou Nobuo's face and massaged his shoulders, which were not tired at all.

It doesn’t matter whether you wipe the sweat or not, the key is to show that you are willing to serve the other person; it doesn’t matter whether you massage or not, the key is to show that you have emotional value!

"No, it doesn't really matter." Beidou Xinwei shook his head and said with a fake sigh, "It's almost impossible for the Feitian Yujian School to be passed down in this world. After all, finding such a disciple is almost impossible. You can see that our sect's inheritance is very mysterious. Two suitable successors have appeared in a short period of time, which means that there may not be anyone who can inherit in the next hundred years. As for us, when we are old, we may not meet the next talented person - this sect may disappear in a hundred years, so I am not worried about the sect's affairs being known to outsiders."

"Oh~ I see, the master is really broad-minded~~~"

--------

So, after carefully consulting with Nobuyuki Kitato about the spread of the news, Ms. Yoshino Ikoma went to her former boss's house to start a girls' gossip session.

As we all know, if you just talk about gossip, it doesn't count as leaking secrets. And if you've already said it, it can be spread out, so it doesn't matter.

"Oh?!" Oda Nobuhime's eyes widened after hearing this, staring at the maiden widow in disbelief. Wisdom blinked, then suddenly pouted, seeming a bit jealous. "Are you saying that Avi said there's only one person in this world who can resonate with him in the sword? Is that the girl with that cool name?"

"Yes, Kenshin-chan."

"...Oh, forget it. I was planning to have him serve as our family's military strategy guide later."

There are two translations for the term "bingfa" in Japanese. One is the familiar "bingfa" (art of war) from Sun Tzu. However, "bing" is often translated as "weapons," while "bingfa" means "the method of using weapons." In Japanese, "bingfa" (strategists) generally refer to martial artists. Miyamoto Musashi is known as "the best strategist in the world" and "strategist of war," primarily because he was a swordsman. His work, "The Book of Five Rings," is considered as famous as "On War" and "The Art of War."

Before the cool_japen Japanese self-promotional cultural movement in the 90s, there was no such thing as "touching porcelain".

What all daimyo refer to as "the family's guide to military tactics" can be translated as: the chief martial arts coach of the People's Liberation Army.

"However, the Avi school really has a long history. I didn't expect it to be two thousand years old... Hey, hey, hey, call him to me." Oda Nobuhime suddenly felt that she could not wait any longer!

The whole world seems unimportant now, only anime is important! "What about 'Sword Girl of Yue' and 'The Virgin of the Forest'? Is Li Bai the Immortal Poet or the Immortal Swordsman? Is Tang poetry his art of war? (Swordsmanship) is amazing, and there's also someone like Dugu Qiubai, who has never been defeated in his life and only seeks defeat once? - Oh! So cool!"
