My Gang of Swordsmen

Chapter 664: Chapter 10: Talent Upgrade! Sword Genius Upgrades to [Sword Saint]! [8800]_2

Relying on his unique advantage, he continuously launched ultra-fast slashes towards Aoto, the bamboo sword weaving a dark yellow web of afterimages...but even the best plans have a flaw.

In a fleeting moment, Aoto saw a temporary ”hole” appear in that ”dark yellow web.”

In an instant response, Aoto raised his hand to stab! The tip of the bamboo sword pierced through the ”hole,” striking Chai Shan’s throat, protected by a mask, and knocked Chai Shan directly to the ground.

...

”Wah ya ah ah ah!”

Sanpin Hachizō swung the Palm Sword like a windmill, but all his sword trajectories were seen through by Aoto.

Aoto dodged to one side, evading two consecutive slashes from Sanpin, then moved in closer, releasing his grip from the sword handle with his left hand, reaching for Sanpin’s right wrist.

Having witnessed Aoto previously disarming someone with one hand and tossing them to the ground beautifully, Sanpin hastily retracted his right wrist.

Though he avoided Aoto’s iron grip, in hurriedly pulling back his sword, he inadvertently exposed an opening in his posture.

Aoto slid forward, using the fore edge of his right hand to swing the bamboo sword from Sanpin’s left shoulder to his right abdomen... a perfect Kasaya Slash.

——The 13th one...

Aoto began silently counting his ”victory count.”

After deceiving Shirahara with a feint, Aoto thrust his left shoulder forward, delivering a fierce ”Meat Bomb Impact” to Shirahara’s chest.

The immense force and dull pain transmitted through the armor to Shirahara’s chest, and the pained Shirahara lost his balance, falling backward.

Aoto’s follow-up attack came immediately, piercing Shirahara with a single sword strike.

——The 15th one...

——Archery?

An unexpected talent was suddenly replicated.

Aoto hesitated, then asked Shirahara in a probing tone.

”Have you ever practiced archery?”

”Archery?” Shirahara, while getting up from the ground, gave Aoto a puzzled look, ”No, I’ve never practiced.”

——You haven’t...

That is indeed often the case...

There are countless people in this world who go through life unaware of their strengths or talents.

An archery talent four times the average level is already quite an impressive ability.

Aoto was considering whether to hint to Shirahara to ”switch careers” and try developing archery, but before he could give it much thought, Shirahara had already calmly accepted his defeat and returned to the ”spectator seats,” so Aoto had to abandon the idea.

...

Bang!

A heavy footstep on the ground.

The bamboo sword raised overhead jumped up along with Mashige’s body with force.

At the same time, Aoto and his sword also leaped into the air!

Mashige’s sword and body, colliding heavily with Aoto’s bravely confronting sword and body, clashed together.

”Mm...”

A low, muddled moan of pain echoed, leaving it unclear who made the sound.

The two collided and passed by each other, standing at the places where they previously stood.

As the spectators held their breath and leaned forward to inspect, one person’s body suddenly softened and tilted, falling to the ground.

Standing, that person... Aoto slowly retracted his extended sword.

——The... 17th one...

[”Sword Genius” ability upgrade]

[”Sword Genius” talent description: Swordsmanship Talent Amplification is 97 times the average level of ordinary people]

”Wow! Defeated 17 of them!”

”17 consecutive victories!”

”How is this possible... all the seniors have been defeated...”

...

As Aoto sent the 17th challenger off the field, cheers erupted for Aoto immediately.

Aoto’s streak of victories, growing stronger with each win, had fired up the atmosphere in the dojo to an unprecedented level.

More and more spectators wanted to see if anyone could beat Aoto, or how long Aoto could keep winning.

Meanwhile, more and more people were amazed by Aoto’s exceptional prowess.

As the number of these people increased, each time Aoto won a match, the applause and cheers grew louder.

Aoto’s female admirers... the female apprentices, were also getting more and more excited and shouting more passionately as Aoto’s record became increasingly dazzling.

At this time, the shouting of the female apprentices caught someone’s attention...

Sazanoko’s beautiful eyes glanced slightly towards the southeast corner of the dojo, where the female apprentices, mostly gazing at Aoto with excitement and admiration, were gathered.

Watching these female apprentices who had been cheering for Aoto from the very beginning, Sazanoko’s red lips lightly pressed together, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance as if in deep thought.

In the depths of her beautiful eyes, a peculiar emotion seemed to be hidden. In other words, this emotion was quite elusive, difficult to describe with specific words.
