Chapter Eighteen: Sudden and Violent Advance

  、、、、、、、、、、

  "Beauty in full bloom!"

  A loud and clear cry, rose from the surface of a lake, only to see a beautiful woman in a tight red dress, holding a large and wild chopper, slashing towards the young man in front of her. The speed and agility of the knife's shadow left everyone with a feeling of being caught off guard, extremely overbearing and wild!

  "Haha! Teacher, this move has been useless against me for a long time!" However, seeing the beautiful woman's attack, the boy on the opposite side smiled slightly, and then a large chopping knife that was exactly the same as the beautiful woman's appeared in his hand, swinging out to meet the beautiful woman's chop!

  Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of a blade slicing through the air rang out repeatedly!

  Bang! Then, between the two of them, the sound of clashing knives burst forth, exploding into countless sparks. The two remained locked in a stalemate!

  "Hmph! Then try this move!" Hearing the young man's words, the beautiful woman couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, and her figure instantly flashed and disappeared in front of him!

  The beautiful woman and young man on the lake surface are Ueno Kaori and So Kō, who have been practicing swordsmanship together for almost a year now. In the past six months, So Kō has only left the village once with Terumi Mei during the second month, and aside from that failed attempt to merge with Hidō, he hasn't gone out again!

  Ueno Kaori also taught Chu Ni for half a year, and in terms of swordsmanship, her requirements for Chu Ni were extremely strict, as if she wanted to drive Chu Ni to death. She wouldn't even let Chu Ni counterattack when holding a large chopper, directly taking her attacks like a living target!

  However, under this training, Chūjin's knife skills in defense have truly made rapid progress. In just half a year, Uenoyama Saki using the same speed to slash at Chūjin couldn't even hurt him! This left his instructor, Uenoyama Saki, utterly shocked! It can be said that generally, ninjas engaging in close combat with swords wouldn't even think of hurting him!

  However, the time Chu Ni spent practicing swordsmanship with Ueno Kaori was also two hours a day. Ueno Kaori couldn't be responsible for teaching him all day long, and during other times, Chu Ni continued to practice ninjutsu, but since he could use cheats to cultivate ninjutsu, he left it all to his Shadow Clone to cultivate!

  While Chu Ni was in his spare time, he was constantly practicing knife techniques and slashing. Ueno Kaori didn't teach him knife techniques, every day she just wanted him to defend against her attacks, but in fact, she had already taught Chu Ni the basics, complex, refined, all kinds of slashes were repeated in front of Chu Ni! So Chu Ni's spare time was completely spent practicing the moves that Ueno Kaori had demonstrated. Constantly imitating, and then making slight changes based on his own physical condition, to make those moves more suitable for him to use, with greater power!

  Then from the back half a year began, Chu Ni every day would no longer have to fight with his hands, Ueno Kō wanted Chu Ni to follow him and engage in sword fighting only!

  Chu Ni still clearly remembered that when Ueno Kaori saw the series of fierce and wild attacks he unleashed that day, she had a shocked expression. Ueno Kaori couldn't believe it - she hadn't even taught Chu Ni the attacking knife techniques yet, but in an instant, he was able to burst out with such wild attacks!

  However, the swordsmanship that Chu Ni had practiced was flawless and powerful in his own eyes, but to Ueno Kaori, it was full of openings. So during their exchange, Ueno Kaori kept telling Chu Ni where he was going wrong, which parts of his technique needed to be faster, and how to accurately read the opponent's movements and attack!

  Under Ueno Kaori's constant guidance, Chūgyaku's swordsmanship has truly made rapid progress. Now, Chūgyaku can already force Ueno Kaori to use half of her strength in terms of swordsmanship!

  "You little devil, you're really abnormal! I've never seen anyone improve their knife skills as fast as you. In less than a year, your knife skills have already surpassed my brother's!" Once, Ueno Kō couldn't help but shout at Chu Niè with a mix of praise and astonishment in her voice!

  As soon as Ueno Kō's figure disappeared, Chū Gesui didn't have a single trace of panic in his heart. The moment he sensed the air disturbance behind him, he turned around and slashed at Ueno Kō!

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

  Clang clang clang clang!

  The sound of countless clashing swords and knives, followed by the reverberation across the surface of the lake. Only to see Chu Ni and Kamino Kō's massive wild slashers colliding repeatedly, creating a dance of knife shadows in the sky. The calm lake surface was violently stirred up by the two people's exchange, with waves rising continuously like rain falling from the sky, but not a single drop fell on Chu Ni and Kamino Kō's bodies!

  If someone from the village saw that the person who was currently fighting with Ueno Kō was actually Suishō Zōmyōjin's younger brother, they would definitely be shocked and wouldn't have thought that a useless Chu Inverse could become this strong!

  Bang! In the last crash, Chu Ni and Ueno Kaori's figures retreated separately, using only half of their strength. Ueno Kaori could no longer suppress Chu Ni!

  "Haha! How's that, teacher?! My progress is incredible, right?!" Chu Ni stopped and looked at the beautiful and wild Ueno Kaori in front of him, then burst out laughing loudly! He was extremely excited in his heart! He didn't expect that his knife skills would be the one he'd improve the fastest in. Now, even a normal Jonin couldn't defeat Chu Ni!

  However, in terms of ninjutsu, Chu Ni hasn't fallen behind either. His chakra has reached the level of an elite jonin, and every day he practices his ninjutsu by creating a shadow clone. It's hard for him to make slow progress! He has also learned many B-level ninjutsu, and in terms of compound ninjutsu, Chu Ni is making rapid progress as well. By combining water and wind jutsu, he can create ice jutsu in just one second! Although it consumes chakra, its power is getting stronger and stronger! Even Shou Mei Ming no longer says that Chu Ni's compound ninjutsu practice is not good enough!

  With the addition of knife techniques, Chu Ni is already able to hold his own against a regular Jonin in terms of overall strength and might even be able to defeat an average Jonin if he masters it well.

  In a year's time, Chu Ni's body had grown taller and more handsome. Some girls in the village would turn around and gaze at him with hearts in their eyes after he walked by. If they didn't know that Chu Ni was a good-for-nothing, many of them would have confessed to him!

  When she heard Chu Ni's words and saw Chu Ni's confident face, Ueno Kaori suddenly lost her composure for a moment. In this year, while teaching Chu Ni, Ueno Kaori also increasingly admired him, and some inexplicable fantasies would flash in her heart! If only Chu Ni were from the same era as her!
