Ryosuke, who was standing next to him, answered for him.
"Only the first three techniques were perfected. As for the others, he had ideas in his mind, but he didn't have enough time to think them through and implement them in depth."
"The first three moves? One night..."
Hirayama Yuuki's lips twitched wildly.
At this rate, you two will both be able to make it to the final assessment in a week!
The Shi Tou brothers achieved the fastest graduation record in the history of Luanfeng Mountain Stream, graduating at lightning speed.
Chapter 147 A True Genius!
Four days passed in a flash.
The morning in Luanfeng Mountain Stream was shrouded in a thin mist, but today the atmosphere was filled with a sense of restlessness and anticipation.
Naoki Asada got up early and packed his things.
Today is the day that disciples from Luanfeng Mountain Stream are heading to Tengxi Mountain to participate in the final assessment.
This is a test of their spiritual progress and also a brand new beginning in their lives.
When he arrived at the training field at the agreed time, the sidelines were already crowded with people.
In the center of the training field, the sound of wooden swords clashing could be heard incessantly.
Zhi Xi was quite surprised, and at the same time, he saw Hirayama Yusei in the crowd.
He squeezed through the crowd and patted a familiar companion on the shoulder.
"Why are you all standing here? Isn't it time to gather yet? Who's sparring inside?"
The companion did not answer immediately, but stared intently at the scene, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief.
After a few seconds, he came to his senses and murmured something.
"See for yourself..."
He looked straight toward the center of the training field.
Three figures collided and separated repeatedly, then collided again.
He recognized one of them immediately; it was none other than the current Naruhashi Ryosuke Yasui.
The other two caused Zhi Xi's pupils to shrink sharply.
They were two very young boys who looked exactly alike; they were clearly twin brothers.
However, the swords they used were not the same type as the Wind Howl swords.
One of them moved with unpredictable speed and lightning-fast movements!
It is clearly a derivative of the Breath of the Wind, the Breath of the Mist!
The young man's swordsmanship was already quite skilled; when still, it was like a misty fog, and when in motion, it was like a raging wave crashing against the shore, with fierce and powerful attacks.
The other person completely overturned Zhixi's understanding.
His breathing technique was sometimes agitated and sometimes deep and focused.
The offensive was so dense it was suffocating, like an endless rain, drizzling and penetrating everywhere.
He spent most of the time closely entangled with Ryosuke, and the sword shadows of their exchanges were so fast that they were blurry and could not be caught by the naked eye.
Is this...is Lord Naruhashi training his juniors here?
Zhizhi subconsciously had this thought, but quickly dismissed it.
These two children are way too young!
How could someone possess such exquisite swordsmanship, especially that child who uses an unknown breathing technique?
Could this breathing technique and sword stance be something he created himself?!
Amidst Zhixi's shock, the battle intensified.
Breath of Mist, Fifth Form: Sea of Clouds and Mist!
As the thin mist appeared, Muichiro's figure flashed in an instant, and his dense, continuous slashes transformed into an impenetrable net of swords that enveloped him!
At the same time, Ichiro's eyes sharpened, and his aura surged once more.
Breath of Rain, Form Five, Rain Builds the City!
This attack was like a terrifying thundercloud before a storm!
The trajectory of the wooden sword was like an impenetrable water curtain wall, completely sealing off all the space around Ryosuke.
The two brothers coordinated perfectly, and the interaction of their swords created an unavoidable series of deadly attacks!
Ryosuke's expression brightened with joy, the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and a violent arc of lightning exploded instantly!
As the wooden sword was swung, it was like a thunderous spear, fiercely meeting the combined attack of the two brothers!
Thunder Breathing: Fourth Form: Distant Thunder: Thousand-Strike!
The collision of the three generated a violent shockwave that swept outwards, causing the clothes of the people on the sidelines to flutter wildly.
Muichiro and the other person leaped a few steps back and landed steadily.
Although he was slightly out of breath, his eyes were bright and sharp, indicating that he was not injured.
Ryosuke sheathed his sword and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's it."
After several days of intensive training, Muichiro has completely mastered Kasumi.
Ichiro's progress is even more astonishing!
Not only was the Rain Call fully formed, but it was even perfected to the fifth form in a short period of time!
The next step is to hone one's skills through countless battles.
Or like his charming ancestor, Black Death Eyes.
A ghost, a pack of cigarettes, and a sword-shaped object to think about all day.
With their current strength, let alone participating in the final assessment, they could easily take on missions to slay ghosts!
Hirayama Yuki walked up to the two men carrying two haori (traditional Japanese clothing) and a sword.
"Although you haven't been with me for more than a few days, you have everything you need."
This scene completely baffled the other disciples who were still trying to figure out the identities of the two.
"Are they really here to participate in the final assessment?"
Zhi Xi was utterly astonished: "This level... to participate in the assessment?!"
Just as he was in shock, another companion who knew the situation spoke up in a low voice.
“Hey, you weren’t here yesterday, but I heard Mr. Hirayama mention it.”
"These two brothers arrived a few days ago; their talent is frighteningly high..."
"It seems they only studied with Mr. Hirayama for one day, and after that, they were personally trained and instructed by Mr. Naruhashi..."
Zhi Xi was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.
He had heard of Sanemi and Kōkin previously.
The two are extremely talented and powerful, and they even joined forces to kill Lower Moon One some time ago!
Sanemi Shinazugawa has now taken over the position of Wind Pillar.
Compared to these two children...
In the shadow of exceptional geniuses, the hard work and efforts of these ordinary team members seem insignificant.
The survival rate of their final assessment is probably ridiculously high.
Good news: It's safe!
Bad news: We went too far with safety!
In front of the Tokito brothers, ordinary people like them don't even have a chance to show off!
Hirayama Yusei looked around and said loudly.
"What are you all standing there for? Assemble! Get ready to depart! Heading to Fujikasayama!"
His voice brought everyone back to reality from their shock.
Naoki Asada took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
The matter concerning the Tokito brothers has come to an end.
Seeing them standing with the other disciples of Luanfeng Mountain Stream, Liangjie felt a sense of pride, like "my son has grown up."
These two brothers are the ones he has devoted the most effort to.
But from another perspective, it's also the one that makes him feel the least worried.
After all, their talents are truly extraordinary, so there's no need to waste words during training.
With just a little guidance, they can learn it on their own.
However, the initial investment was indeed time-consuming.
After all, Ryosuke had to bite the bullet and bite off the hard, smelly rock that was Ichiro, before guiding Ichiro to build confidence.
The time and effort spent on this was far more meticulous than that of those two mischievous boys, Chiu Shimi and Kuang Jin.
"Finally, I can catch my breath..."
Ryosuke watched as the team assembled and prepared to leave.
He wanted to go back to Momoyama and Butterfly House.
While you're at it, help Kyojuro find the trail of the jungler, Pelo.
However, just as this idea popped into his head, a shifty-looking figure approached.
"Hehe, Mr. Ryosuke..."
