Chapter 738 -26: All the Experts of Shiwei Hall vs. Dual Swordsmanship Great Sword Hero Chiba Daisaburo

The entire human body relies on oxygen to burn stored energy, turning it into thermal energy sufficient to drive normal human activities. Oxygen is inhaled by the lungs, so the size and number of activities of the lungs are very important; the heart is responsible for sending oxygen through the circulatory system to various organs and parts, so the strength of the heartbeat affects the flow of blood.

In martial arts, the strength of heart and lung function is linked to physical fitness.

In daily life, good heart and lung function represents robust physical resilience, significantly reducing the incidence of diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases.

After a long time, Aoto obtained a very useful powerful talent… but right now, he had no time to savor this joy.

While vigorously shaking the bamboo sword, he slowly stood up, expressionlessly staring into the distance at Chiba Daisaburo who was still entangled with Toshisuke and others.

The “Red and White Battle” isn’t over until the Grand General is defeated.

Chiba Daisaburo, wearing the Grand General’s Array Feather Robe, still had the porcelain bowl on his forehead intact… so Aoto and their fight was not yet over!

In terms of results, Toshisuke and the others perfectly completed the task of “holding off Chiba Daisaburo.”

From the start of the battle until now, Chiba Daisaburo has been tightly entangled by Toshisuke and his team.

While successfully holding off Chiba Daisaburo, none of Toshisuke’s team members were lost, everyone was intact, and none of their porcelain bowls were broken.

Moreover, from their expressions, it seemed that they still had a considerable amount of stamina left.

—— Strange…

At this moment, Aoto inexplicably felt something unusual.

—— Could it be that Toshisuke and the others are finding this fight a bit too easy…?

Although Aoto had met Chiba Daisaburo several times before, he had never had the fortune to witness his elegant fighting figure.

Regarding Chiba Daisaburo’s strength, Aoto only knew it was very strong… but had no clue as to how strong exactly.

—— Is Chiba Daisaburo’s strength really just like this? Or is it…

As this question floated around in his mind, Aoto subconsciously looked at Toshisuke and others’ expressions — he was amazed to find: all of them wore expressions of puzzlement or heaviness, to varying degrees.

Aoto didn’t know — as those who directly clashed with Chiba Daisaburo, Toshisuke and the others had long felt a kind of… peculiar anomaly.

To put it in words… Toshisuke and the others felt that the fight with Chiba Daisaburo up to this point had the feeling of battling with cotton — no matter how much force they exerted, the cotton remained undamaged and rebounded to its original shape due to its soft elasticity.

Toshisuke and the others had not held back at all, always giving it their all against Chiba Daisaburo.

Yet no matter how they attacked, they couldn’t inflict even the slightest effective damage on Chiba Daisaburo…

While Aoto and Toshisuke were still secretly puzzled —

“…Beautiful”

With his left hand naturally hanging down holding the Wakizashi, and the Tachi in his right hand casually resting on his shoulder — Chiba Daisaburo, with a stance like strolling in his own garden, swept his gaze counterclockwise over Aoto and the others’ faces.

His gaze passed over others quickly, but lingered the longest on the faces of Aoto and Toshisuke.

“Except for me, including Shirō, everyone got wiped out… To be honest, such a result really was unexpected to me.”

“I somewhat understand now what father and uncle used to say to us about the younger generation being formidable.”

Saying this, Chiba Daisaburo revealed a faint smile to Aoto and the others.

It wasn’t a sarcastic or mocking smile.

It was a purely appreciative smile.

“Hey.” Hijikata chimed in with a teasing tone, picking up on Chiba Daisaburo’s words, “You’re only 25 this year, right? Why are you talking as if you are an old man running out of steam?”

“Please forgive me. Unintentionally got a bit sentimental.” Chiba Daisaburo slowly lowered the Tachi from his right shoulder, “Today has indeed been a joyous day.”

At this moment, the smile on Chiba Daisaburo’s face changed.

The appreciative light smile transformed into a radiant grin, as if he had thought of something delightful.

“The blood’s heating up… come, let the fight continue!”

The moment Chiba Daisaburo shouted this, the atmosphere shifted drastically!

In that instant, Aoto and others felt as if a colossal beast emerged before them, surging with imposing force!

An overwhelming qi field surged from Chiba Daisaburo!

Aoto… no, Aoto and everyone on the field, plus some of the audience, their pupils involuntarily shrank sharply.

As for those without any understanding of martial arts… like Chokata Mitsuo and his wife, and Kyūbē, although they couldn’t sharply perceive the aura emanating from Chiba Daisaburo, they could notice that the atmosphere of the match suddenly changed.

Immediately, Aoto, Toshisuke, and others on the field became extremely serious.

The surging qi field gushing from Chiba Daisaburo was something Aoto and the others clearly recognized.

It was “momentum”!

On the “audience side,” Kiryu looked calmly at the distant arena, softly murmuring, “The match has officially begun…”

At this moment, Chiba Daisaburo took a deep breath, then quietly poised himself.

Left hand lowered with Wakizashi, holding the lower rank; right hand raised with Tachi, holding the upper rank… Chiba Daisaburo, posing such a bizarre stance, with a possible grin yet possible not, said:
