Guina brought Bai Ye to the grove where she trained privately.
Stepping into the grove, Bai Ye was a little surprised by the scene in front of him.
The surrounding trees were covered with knife marks of varying depths, and some tree trunks were even chopped to reveal the white wood.
Most of the stones on the ground were also incomplete, with crisscrossing cracks, obviously caused by long-term fierce chopping.
Guina slowly walked to a tree that was chopped the most severely, gently stroking the knife marks, with determination and persistence in her eyes.
"Mr. Bai Ye, this forest is where I practice hard every day."
"I have spent countless time and energy here privately, just to improve my swordsmanship."
She turned around and looked at Bai Ye with burning eyes, with a hint of determination in her tone: "I have a dream, that is to become the world’s number one swordsman."
"Since I was a child, I have had an incomparable love for swordsmanship. I long to stand at the pinnacle of kendo one day and let everyone recognize my strength."
Speaking of this, Kuina’s eyes flashed with a trace of confusion and unwillingness.
"But I also know that in this world, people generally believe that it is difficult for women to reach the top level in swordsmanship."
"Many people have advised me that as a girl, no matter how hard I try, I can never become a truly strong person."
She frowned slightly, looked at Bai Ye, and asked seriously: "Mr. Bai Ye, do you think women really cannot become strong people?"
"Just because I am a woman, am I destined to be bound by these prejudices?"
Bai Ye listened to Kuina’s words quietly, and his eyes never left her face.
He saw determination, confusion, unwillingness, and a fiery pursuit of dreams in her eyes.
Bai Ye took a few steps forward and stood in front of Kuina, looking at her firmly, and said seriously:
"Kuina, I can tell you clearly that gender has never been a criterion for measuring whether a person can become a strong person."
After a pause, he narrowed his eyes slightly, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and then said:
"Maybe you think I’m just comforting you, but I do know a woman who is an absolute kendo master."
"Really?"
Kuina’s eyes lit up instantly, with an irrepressible curiosity flashing in her eyes, and she asked eagerly,
"Can you introduce her to me?"
At this moment, she seemed to have countless kittens scratching in her heart, and she couldn’t wait to get to know the woman Bai Ye mentioned.
"Of course."
Bai Ye nodded slightly, and as soon as he finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared like a wisp of light smoke.
In just a blink of an eye, he appeared again, and beside him, there was a graceful purple-haired woman.
The woman held a katana, exuding a cold and noble temperament. It was Busujima Sae
"Hello, I’m Saeko Busujima."
Saeko Busujima’s mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, her tone calm but elegant.
"I am Ye Jun’s follower, I believe you already know that I am the female swordsman Ye Jun just mentioned."
A trace of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Kuina quietly.
Before that, she had heard about Kuina from Bai Ye.
Knowing that this little girl is gifted in swordsmanship, but because of the world’s prejudice against women, she is slightly lacking in self-confidence.
Because of this, Bai Ye asked her to come, hoping to set an example for Kuina.
After all, although Bai Ye is strong, he is a man after all, and his persuasiveness in this regard may be slightly inferior.
Then Bai Ye signaled Saeko Busujima to show Kuina.
Busujima Saeko slightly turned sideways, nodded to Kuina, and her aura suddenly changed.
Her gentle and peaceful temperament was instantly replaced by a sharp sword intent.
The air around her seemed to be stirred by this sword intent, making a slight "buzzing" sound.
Busujima Saeko slowly raised the sword in her hand, and the blade flashed a cold light under the mottled shadows of the trees.
She shook her wrist lightly, and the sword drew a strange arc in the air like a smart white snake, bringing a sharp whistle, as if to tear the air apart.
Then, Busujima Saeko’s figure was like lightning, rushing towards a thick tree.
At the moment of approaching the tree, her body suddenly jumped up, spinning in the air, and the sword in her hand was wrapped with a thousand pounds of force, slashing down fiercely from top to bottom.
"Boom!" A loud noise exploded in the woods like thunder. The big tree was split directly in half by this blow, and the trunk fell to both sides, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Kuina’s eyes widened, her face full of shock and disbelief.
She had never seen such a powerful and sharp swordsmanship, and the power was far beyond her imagination.
After Busujima Saeko landed, her breath was steady, as if the earth-shattering blow just now was effortless for her.
She gently swung the sword to shake off the sawdust on the blade, then looked at Kuina and said with a smile:
"In the world of kendo, strength is never differentiated by gender."
"As long as you have firm beliefs and unremitting efforts, anyone can become a strong person."
Kuina took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner shock, and said:
"Ms. Busujima, your swordsmanship is too powerful! I never thought that a woman’s kendo could reach such a terrifying level."
Bukujima Saeko walked to Kuina, patted her shoulder gently, and encouraged:
"You also have great potential, Kuina."
"Don’t be bound by the prejudices of the outside world, believe in yourself, stick to it, and you will definitely realize your dream."
Bai Ye watched this scene from the side, his faceHe smiled with relief.
He knew that the appearance of Busujima Saeko was not only a shocking display for Kuina, but also a shot in the arm, which could help her regain her confidence.
"How about it, Kuina, I didn’t lie to you."
Bai Ye walked steadily to Kuina, with a warm smile on his face, and said softly.
Kuina’s cheeks were slightly red because of excitement, and her eyes were shining with a fiery light. She nodded vigorously and said excitedly:
"Yeah, Mr. Bai Ye! I’m really shocked."
"I have a request. Can I worship Miss Busujima as my teacher? I especially want to learn kendo from her!"
As she said, she looked at Busujima Saeko with expectation, her eyes full of longing and desire.
Bukujima Saeko did not respond immediately after hearing this, but turned her eyes to Bai Ye.
She raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Guina, when it comes to learning kendo, Ye Jun is much better than me."
After a slight pause, Saeko Dokujima looked at Kuina with a gentle look and continued:
"Besides, as a woman, you may have some inherent disadvantages in physical fitness."
"But Ye Jun has a way to help you make up for this shortcoming, so that you will have fewer obstacles on the road of kendo and improve your strength faster."
Bai Ye was slightly startled when he heard Saeko Dokujima’s words, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Kuina, his eyes full of tenderness and doting, and said:
"Kuina, if you are willing, I will do my best to teach you."
A hint of shyness flashed in Kuina’s eyes, but more of determination. She lowered her head slightly and said softly:
"Mr. Bai Ye, I am not afraid of hardship. As long as I can become stronger and realize my dream, I am willing to do anything."
Bai Ye walked forward, gently lifted Kuina’s chin, let her look straight into his eyes, and said seriously:
"Okay, from now on, you are my apprentice. I will accompany you step by step to the peak of kendo." (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Kuina’s cheeks instantly became hot.
Busujima Saeko watched this scene from the side, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "It seems that my mission has been successfully completed."
"Ye Jun, Kuina will be handed over to you, I will leave first."
Bai Ye nodded slightly and said: "Leave it to me, Saeko."
Busujima Saeko nodded slightly, and then her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
At this time, only Bai Ye and Kuina were left in the woods.
Kuina’s heartbeat was still fast, she was a little embarrassed to break away from Bai Ye’s hand and said:
"Master, when do we start?"
Since her current identity is Bai Ye’s apprentice, she must change her words.
When Bai Ye heard Kuina call him "Master", a different feeling surged in his heart.
Looking at Kuina’s shy and serious look, he couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to gently pinch her cheek, and said with a smile:
"We can start now. Let’s correct the most basic knife-holding posture first."
As he said, he picked up the wooden sword beside him, walked behind Kuina, covered her hands with both hands, and adjusted her knife-holding posture.
Although Kuina’s basics were already very good, how could he miss such a fair opportunity to stick to her.
Kuina felt Bai Ye’s warm body close to her, and her breathing became rapid. []
Her cheeks became hotter and hotter, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest.
Bai Ye seemed to notice her nervousness and chuckled.
"Don’t be nervous, relax, this is just to make you better."
Kuina blushed and nodded gently, trying to calm herself down and focus on Bai Ye’s teachings.
Just as the two were immersed in this slightly ambiguous teaching atmosphere, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside the woods.
Then a green algae-headed man appeared in front of the two. It was Zoro.
He lost his way in the woods in order to find Kuina to fight. After some twists and turns, he finally found this place.
As soon as he stepped into the woods, he heard Kuina calling "Master" and was slightly stunned.
Zoro frowned and quickened his pace towards the source of the sound.
When he saw Bai Ye and Kuina standing together, and Bai Ye was still teaching Kuina how to hold the sword, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He has always regarded Kuina as his rival in kendo and the object of his secret competition in his heart.
Now seeing that Kuina actually has a new master, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Kuina!"
Zoro shouted loudly, with a hint of urgency and dissatisfaction in his tone.
Kuina and Bai Ye turned their heads at the same time when they heard the voice.
Kuina was slightly surprised to see Zoro and said, "Zoro, why are you here?"
Zoro did not answer Kuina’s question, but looked straight at Bai Ye and asked:
"Who are you? Why are you here to teach Kuina kendo?"
Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar green algae head in front of him, and said with a smile:
"My name is Bai Ye, as you can see, I am Kuina’s master now."
Zoro heard this, and his dissatisfaction in his heart became even worse. He clenched the wooden sword in his hand. , said:
"I don’t recognize you as my master! Kuina, how can you so casually worship a stranger as your master?"
"Also, you won’t forget our duel today!"
Kuina looked at Zoro’s high-spirited appearance, sighed helplessly, and said:
"Zoro, I am learning kendo with Master Bai Ye now, and I don’t want to duel with you for the time being."
Zoro was relentless, he looked at Bai Ye and said provocatively:
"Since you are her master, how dare you fight with meDo you want to compete? If you win, I will acknowledge you as my master."
Bai Ye looked at Zoro, a smile flashed in his eyes.
He let go of Kuina’s hand, picked up a branch at random, and said, "Okay, then I’ll use this to play with you."
When Zoro saw Bai Ye picking up a branch, he suddenly became angry and shouted:
"What do you mean? You want to compete with me with a branch? This is clearly looking down on me!"
"If you are really capable, change to a wooden sword! ”
Zoro held the wooden sword tightly in his hand, his knuckles turned white due to the force, and he felt that he was greatly despised.
Bai Ye looked at Zoro’s appearance and smiled slowly.
Then he turned to look at Kuina, his eyes full of gentleness and patience, and said:
"Kuina, you have to remember that although for a swordsman, a good sword can greatly improve the swordsman’s strength. ”
"But for a truly powerful swordsman, fallen leaves and flying flowers are all weapons. ”
"Next, I will show you. ”.
