Chapter 583 Gift

The battle with Souji Okita made Zhang Heng's sword technique, which had been trapped in lv3 for a long time, finally break through to lv4.

For Zhang Heng, it was like stepping into a whole new realm.

The improvement of each major level is a qualitative leap, let alone the lv4 that few people can touch. After the promotion, Zhang Heng not only has his five senses strengthened, but also the insights and combat experience he has accumulated in challenging various dojos before. Together, together with the foundation he cultivated in Black Sail, he finally formed a set of his own saber techniques.

In order to commemorate the battle with Souji Okita, Zhang Heng finally decided to name the new school he founded as Tiandao Style.

In addition, he also gained a skill similar to "mind's eye", allowing him to continue fighting even when his eyesight is blocked.

Could it be that he will change his job to become Daredevil in the future? Zhang Heng rubbed his chin and thought, in addition, he could feel that there was still room for further improvement of this mind-eye skill. Maybe the ultimate goal in the future is to keep fighting power undiminished even when all five senses are blocked?

But in that case, the sixth sense probably needs to be sharpened to an incredible degree.

This sounds a little mysterious, but generally speaking, as a master, you will more or less have a certain sense of impending danger, but the strength is different. It is still very useful when defending against sneak attacks, but you want to rely on the sixth sense throughout the process There is indeed a long way to go to fight.

Zhang Heng is not in a hurry. His dungeon journey is coming to an end. The sword technique has been upgraded as he wished. He has also found weapons of the same level as the Sanri Yuezong, and there are still two. As for the more advanced weapons, Zhang Heng is no longer interested. Know where to look.

Is it Tian Congyun, one of the three artifacts?

The name of that knife is big enough, but it is mostly used as a ritual vessel, and its age is too long, the material is too poor, and its practicality is questionable. The main reason is that the knife is not in the Imperial Palace of Kyoto. However, it has been stored in Atsuta Shrine, and Zhang Heng couldn't get it even if he wanted to.

It stands to reason that the five knives in the world are already the best knives players can get in the dungeon. Although Crimson Sword also guessed that there are more advanced props in the dungeon, she herself has no clue about this.

Zhang Heng also has no intention of forcing it. He has done everything he can, and if he doesn't meet him, he probably won't.

And then he has to face a happy trouble. According to the rules of the dungeon, he can only take out one of the two knives. It is a question whether he should choose Suzumaru Koji or Kikuichimonji.

Zhang Heng reckons that these two knives are both C-grade. As for their respective characteristics, they can basically only rely on guesswork before the completion of the appraisal. Apart from the fact that Shuzhuwan Hengji is hard to damage, the rosary wrapped on the handle of the knife is likely to be Let it have attributes like evil spirits.

As for the Kikuichi character, this is Souji Okita's favorite knife. The blade is lighter than Suzumaru Kojiji, and its sharpness is even higher than Suzumaru Kojiji. It can easily cut the fallen leaves from the tree into two pieces. The unique skill of Ping Qingyan is hard to guard against. Zhang Heng's moves with this knife can be three points faster than his own fastest speed.

The two knives each have their own advantages, making it really difficult for him to decide.

Just as he hesitated, the dungeon was coming to an end.

After all, the Battle of Toba Fushimi broke out as recorded in history. When the political situation became more and more unfavorable, Okubo Toshimichi, Saigo Takamori and others made decisive decisions, and finally embarked on the road of bringing down the curtain by force. In January of this year, he defeated the shogunate army several times larger than himself, and ushered in a new era.

It's just that people who are immersed in joy today don't know what fate awaits them in the future.

In accordance with the agreement with Director Okita, Zhang Heng used the connections he had accumulated during the period of time in the Banbai faction to meet Katsura Kogoro. To spare his life, he just announced that he was dead, and as the price, Isamu Kondo had to change his appearance and return to his hometown to work in agriculture, and he was not allowed to step out of the house for life.

Zhang Heng knew in his heart that it was almost impossible for Isamu Kondo to accept such a condition, and he knew that Katsura Kogoro also knew that Isamu Kondo would not agree, but Zhang Heng had fulfilled his previous oath to Okita and helped Isamu Kondo find him in a situation that was already doomed. He will not help Isamu Kondo make a choice, because everyone has their own destiny.

After doing these things well, the next thing is to wait for the day of parting.

…………

The cherry trees in the yard finally lost all their leaves. Although they will sprout new buds next year, Zhang Heng can't wait for that day.

That day, he was sitting in the courtyard of Xiaoshan Dojo, eating grilled fish and pickled radishes while watching some samurai practicing swords.

Not long afterward, Xiao Shanqian, who had just finished teaching, came out of the main room.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a bowl of red bean soup from Zhang Heng, took a sip, and asked, "Is the boat ticket booked?"

"Well, it will be tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Heng smiled. He announced to the outside world that he still had unfinished business in Western countries, and he wanted to go back again. As for the return date, he was uncertain.

Now the Xiaoshan Dojo is completely on the right track, and the era of samurai is over, but after that, the new government will set up the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Metropolitan Police Department will also teach sword skills. One style was taken from each genre, and the Metropolitan Police Department style was created.

Zhang Heng still changed the history a little bit. Through his efforts, Xiaoshan Mingxinliu, a little-known school, was also mixed into one of the ten schools. Afterwards, the Xiaoshan Dojo will also become a cooperative dojo of the Metropolitan Police Department, helping to teach swordsmanship , so that even in the Meiji era, Akane Koyama's dojo can still develop.

Xiao Shanqian bit her lip. She has seen all the things Zhang Heng has done for Xiaoshan Dojo during this period of time, but it is difficult for her to repay him. She can only enjoy the benefits brought by him silently. Unacceptable, so he was silent for a while and said, "Didn't you collect swords before?"

"Oh, after Miss Jingqian reminded me, I no longer do that kind of thing." Zhang Heng said.

But in fact, the main thing is that after getting Suzumaru Koji and Kikuichi Monomonori, there is no sword that he can see anymore.

"My father also has a Tibetan knife, but it's not a famous knife, and I don't know who made it." Xiao Shanqian said, "I know it can't compare with the knife in your hand, but let it be a parting gift. "

"Oh? Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Zhang Heng nodded.

Although he was destined not to be able to bring out a copy of this knife, he did not reject Xiao Shanqian's kindness, and still stretched out his hands to take the gift from the girl's hand.

He took out the knife from the scabbard, looked at it, and sure enough, as Xiao Shanqian said, it was a very ordinary knife. It should have a history of less than a hundred years, and it was well maintained. However, in terms of hardness, it is not as good as counting pearls. Maru Koji, the sharpness is not as good as Kikuichi Monozumune, and the blade looks dull, and there is no inscription left by the sword maker, so it is not a famous product at first glance.

However, Zhang Heng still solemnly accepted the knife, because he didn't want to disappoint the girl's wishes, and then stood up and bowed.

"During this time, Miss Qian took care of me."

Xiao Shanqian tried her best to raise her face, not letting the tears fall from her eyes, but said softly, "I will keep the small courtyard for you all the time, and come back when I have time."
