Chapter 311: The Trend of the New Era! Victory and Gain! Promotion to Quasi-Shadow!
This swordsmanship duel, watched by tens of thousands of people, has lasted for a full two hours since the beginning of the fight.
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Mifune, as the protagonists, gradually found their breathing becoming more rapid.
As for the audience on the high platform, they were all holding their breath, intently staring at the battle unfolding on the Martial Arts Arena.
Therefore, no one could be sure at this moment when this magnificent, top-tier swordsmanship feast would finally conclude.
"Gulp~"
"Is that really Tetsuya-sama on the Martial Arts Arena?"
"Why does the swordsmanship Tetsuya-sama is using feel even stronger than the 部長's?"
"This kind of swordsmanship, looking at the entire Village, probably only White Fang-sama would dare to claim he could confidently suppress it, right?"
Behind Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui, four Anbu members looked at the constantly flashing blade glints on the Martial Arts Arena, their voices filled with surprise.
"Hoo~ This is probably why Hokage-sama has been so hesitant, repeatedly suppressing the idea of letting Tetsuya-sama return to the Village…"
"Swordsmanship: Returning Flow!"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: Eighteen Empty Strikes!"
Facing the countless dense blade glints, like an overflowing river,
Fujiwara Tetsuya took a deep breath, raising his reaction nerves to their peak.
The katana in his hand danced wildly, each strike more powerful than the last.
In less than three seconds, he forcefully shattered Mifune's certain-kill strike in front of him.
"Tetsuya-sama, it seems you have found your own path of swordsmanship through countless life-and-death trials."
"Since that's the case, there's no need for this battle to continue in a stalemate."
"I will entrust my all to this one strike."
"Let us pour everything into it… and decide the outcome of this battle with one final strike, shall we?"
Shaking his numb palm, Mifune did not show any displeasure despite the stalemate in his battle with Fujiwara Tetsuya.
On the contrary, this evenly matched battle, with its various novel swordsmanship techniques, elevated Mifune's mood in the high-intensity clash.
"Good~ Then let us stake everything and decide the outcome of this battle…"
Exhaling deeply, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly returned kirimaru to its sheath, placing his right hand on the hilt, calming his breath and spirit, and assuming the posture for a Quick Draw.
"Are they going to decide the winner?"
"That movement is… Quick Draw?"
"The ultimate duel between Quick Draw and Iaijutsu… how interesting, isn't it?"
…Amidst the whispers, countless samurai from the Land of Iron continuously surged to the edge of the arena, hoping to clearly witness this… final moment.
If no absolute genius samurai is born in the Land of Iron in the future, it is believed that this battle will become the undisputed peak battle in the history of the Land of Iron for the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years.
"Swordsmanship: Iaijutsu!"
"Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Battōjutsu!"
The moment the two katanas clashed again, a terrifying impact generated countless tiny wind blades.
And beneath Fujiwara Tetsuya and Mifune's feet, the Martial Arts Arena, which had stood for decades and was inscribed with the glory of samurai for decades, shattered at this moment, turning into a pile of ruins.
"Mifune-sama, this battle…"
"This battle, you won, Tetsuya-sama."
Looking at the shallow blade mark on his cuff, Mifune shook his head, interrupting Fujiwara Tetsuya who was speaking.
"Mifune-sama… In this battle, I only took advantage of my physical condition in the end."
"Today's battle made me realize… I still have a lot to learn, thank you for your guidance!"
Seeing Mifune calm down, Fujiwara Tetsuya took a deep breath, quickly regained his composure, and bowed deeply to Mifune.
"What… did General Mifune actually lose? How is this possible… How is this possible?"
"Hanjirou, accept reality. General Mifune admitted it himself."
"Do you think, given General Mifune's status and character, he would deliberately lie in front of so many samurai and dignitaries?"
"Perhaps… General Mifune's assertion is not wrong; times have changed."
"As samurai… while upholding the path of the samurai, perhaps… we should also make some changes."
…[Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating Mifune, the legendary Iaijutsu master, the only General of the Land of Iron, and the leader of the samurai, achieving 173 consecutive victories!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system's temporary mission: challenge the Land of Iron's high-ranking samurai and win 100 consecutive matches! System reward settlement in progress…
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system's temporary mission, receiving a settlement bonus of 173%, and accumulating 173,000 Slaughter Points!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for improving your swordsmanship realm! Konoha-Style Swordsmanship has been upgraded from Rank A to Konoha-Style Swordsmanship Rank S!]
[Ding! Notifying host of mental state improvement! Congratulations to the host for breaking through the Quasi-Kage barrier! Strength increasing…
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for improving your strength! Successfully advanced to Quasi-Kage! Chakra permanently increased by 80%! Physique permanently increased by 50%! Reward: 10,000 Slaughter Points!]
After a brief exchange with Mifune, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly turned and waved his hand towards Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui.
Although the training of swordsmanship was arduous, in the end, it yielded considerable results.
According to the previously triggered system mission, every time he defeated a high-ranking samurai from the Land of Iron, he would gain 1,000 Slaughter Points.
With the win rate bonus from consecutive victories, 173,000 Slaughter Points was comparable to the total Slaughter Points he gained during the Second Shinobi World War.
As for advancing to Quasi-Kage… strictly speaking, his strength had reached the brink of Quasi-Kage five months ago.
The reason he hadn't broken through was simply because he was forcefully suppressing it, wanting to wait until his accumulation was deeper.
The sudden advancement now… could only be said to be a natural progression, nothing surprising.
However, the advancement of Konoha-Style Swordsmanship exceeded his expectations.
But perhaps due to the difference in swordsmanship realms, after Konoha-Style Swordsmanship advanced from Rank A to Rank S, the original proficiency also dropped from Mastered to Beginner Advanced level.
"System, consume 100,000 Slaughter Points to push the strength option to its peak state, consume 14,999 Slaughter Points to raise Konoha-Style Swordsmanship to Mastered Top-tier, and synchronize the strength panel update!"
