Chunyue Liu Jian Dao, or the Chunyue Flowing Sword Style, was a sword fighting school in Wa Country that had been passed down for hundreds of years. However, among the hundreds, if not thousands, of sword fighting schools in Wa Country that had been passed down to the present day, this particular school had virtually no presence.
Apart from the master, Chunyue, who created the Chunyue Flow, there were basically no famous swordsmen in this school.
Furthermore, the Chunyue Flow was not prosperous in terms of disciples. While it wasn't strictly a single-lineage transmission, it was close. It was a miracle that it hadn't been lost over these hundreds of years of inheritance.
The biggest difference between the Chunyue Flow sword style and other sword fighting schools in Wa Country was that the Chunyue Flow believed that swordsmanship was not the most important thing; the most important thing was Qi!
They had a cultivation method similar to the internal energy cultivation of Hua Xia, using Qi to wield the sword and sword Qi to harm people!
This was essentially a cultivation technique that combined internal energy and swordsmanship. However, compared to the powerful cultivation techniques of Hua Xia, this technique appeared primitive and crude.
To cultivate the sword techniques of the Chunyue Flow, one had to spend decades of arduous effort to achieve minor success. This so-called minor success meant being able to release sword Qi to harm people.
But the problem was that after spending decades, the sword Qi released by the Chunyue Flow sword techniques could only extend the sword's attack range by about ten centimeters.
And this ten-centimeter-long sword Qi had very limited lethality. At most, it could only rip through the opponent's clothes and skin, and it would be difficult to even sever an opponent's finger!
It was precisely this "chicken rib" sword style that made it difficult for the Chunyue Flow to recruit disciples. Therefore, in recent years, the Chunyue Flow had been passed down almost as a family tradition.
After all, the Wa Country people, at their core, deeply respected tradition. In other words, they were resistant to change. Even if what their ancestors passed down was trash, they felt obligated to pass down this trash.
The Hashimoto family was an important lineage family of the Chunyue Flow.
Originally, this school would have continued to be passed down, continuing to be a "chicken rib," and perhaps eventually disappearing into the river of history.
However, starting ten years ago, things began to change!
The people of the Hashimoto family discovered that the Chunyue Flow cultivation method they practiced had become twice as effective with half the effort.
Not only did the cultivation speed increase significantly, but when they used the Chunyue Flow sword techniques, the power of their sword Qi also increased.
The most outstanding swordsman of the Chunyue Flow generation was Hashimoto Goro. When he unleashed a sword strike, releasing sword Qi, the length of the sword Qi could extend nearly two meters from the tip of the sword.
And this sword Qi was not just capable of tearing skin; it could even directly sever a person's arm!
This sudden turn of events made the Hashimoto family truly experience what it meant to turn their fortunes around!
As a result, Hashimoto Goro, along with a few of his fellow disciples, began challenging various sword fighting dojos across Wa Country.
Ultimately, many renowned sword masters of Wa Country were slain by Hashimoto Goro's blade, and Hashimoto Goro became a swordsman famous throughout Wa Country.
However, the sudden transformation of the Chunyue Flow sword style also attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives. Eventually, the Yin-Yang Society, an organization of psychics operating in Wa Country, found Hashimoto Goro and extended an olive branch to him.
Hashimoto Goro was very eager to know how he had become stronger, so he readily agreed and joined the Yin-Yang Society.
This time, at the psychic conference held on Hell Paradise Island, which invited psychics from all over the world, Hashimoto Goro also came to the island with members of the Yin-Yang Society.
Soon after, they received a request from the Americans, asking them to help eliminate Ling Tian.
Wa Country had been a dog to the United States for many years. For the demands of their American father, the Wa Country people didn't even have the courage to refuse. They devised many plans and prepared to strike at Ling Tian at any opportunity.
What they didn't expect was that Ling Tian would actually go onto the stage and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, cremate the American envoy and then take down an Indian.
He also challenged all the spectators, asking if anyone was willing to come up and spar with him.
Hashimoto Goro felt that this was an opportunity for the Chunyue Flow sword style to gain fame and establish itself, so he stepped onto the stage, preparing to challenge Ling Tian.
However, this fellow only spoke Wa Country language. After babbling for a long time, Ling Tian did not understand what he was saying.
So, Ling Tian called over a staff member. The staff member immediately arranged for a translator. With the translator's help, Ling Tian understood what this fellow meant.
"Alright, I'll fight him!"
Ling Tian had no good feelings towards the Wa Country people.
The hatred between Hua Xia people and Wa Country people was etched into their bones and could never be resolved!
However, Hashimoto Goro proposed to Ling Tian that they should duel with weapons, and Ling Tian could use whatever he was comfortable with.
If Ling Tian requested not to use weapons, then he would refuse to fight Ling Tian.
Ling Tian let out a cold snort, thinking that this little Wa Country brat's plan was well-calculated. He was skilled with weapons and assumed Ling Tian was only powerful in terms of psychic abilities, so he made such a request to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
Ling Tian told Hashimoto through the translator that he agreed to fight Hashimoto with weapons!
However, the duel was scheduled for forty minutes later because Ling Tian needed to find someone to go back to his residence to retrieve his Ghost-Cutting Long Saber!
He quickly contacted Xuanyuan Jie and others, who were watching from the stands, through the staff members, asking them to help get the saber.
Upon hearing that Ling Tian was going to fight a Wa Country person, many people's blood boiled with excitement. Xuanyuan Tangfeng volunteered and immediately followed a few companions back to their residence to retrieve Ling Tian's weapon.
In the lounge, Xuanyuan Jie, Zhuge Tianji, and Su Dacheng met Ling Tian.
"Ling Tian, what's going on? Why did you get into a fight with them!
We've already gone through a lot of pressure to allow you to move freely, but you can't just act recklessly." Su Dacheng complained with some dissatisfaction.
Ling Tian couldn't help but force a smile when he heard the other party's words.
"Leader, you can't blame me for this. I wanted to gather information at the bar, but they came to provoke me. They were practically defecating on my head. What do you expect me to do?
Besides, one of our main objectives for coming here is to show our strength. Since it's already done and the person is dead, let's just go all the way!"
"Well said!
In fact, I think Ling Tian did the right thing. When it's time to show our swords, we must show them. We need to display our strength!
Constant forbearance and humility will only make them think we are easy to bully. Then they will escalate their demands and keep provoking us.
We should be like Ling Tian, fighting fiercely and subduing them!"
Zhuge Tianji, on the other hand, praised Ling Tian's actions wholeheartedly.
"But fighting in the arena like this is very dangerous," Su Dacheng said with concern.
