Chapter 806: All Swordsmen Crave the World's Strongest
Longsword vs. Katana!
Non-specialist vs. Sword God!
At this moment.
The referee on the stage saw that both sides were ready, so he raised one hand and announced the start of the match!
"Both sides, take your positions! Three-second countdown!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
The moment the referee's words fell.
Clang!!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Yamashita Kazami suddenly sheathed his katana again!
At the same time, his legs bent slightly, his left hand pressed on the scabbard, and his right hand gripped the hilt!
His body leaned forward, and the whole person looked like a fully drawn spring, seemingly containing an incredible explosive force!
Seeing this movement, the spectators below immediately recognized what Yamashita Kazami was about to do!
"Iaido Slash!!"
"It seems that many swordsmen and warriors from Fusang Kingdom love this move!"
The weapons used by warriors and swordsmen from Fusang Kingdom were basically katanas.
The Warrior class had a skill called 'Iai Slash,' which was very similar to Iaido Slash, but its power was slightly inferior.
Especially since the Iaido Slash skill also had an 'Ultimate' evolved version.
At this moment.
Yamashita Kazami gently pushed the hilt with his left thumb.
Swoosh!!
Even though he only pushed it by two centimeters, the sliver of sword gleam that leaked out instantly erupted with an incredibly terrifying sword intent!
Just a moment ago, Yamashita Kazami seemed harmless.
But when this terrifying sword intent burst forth, he instantly transformed into a true Sword God!
This was the refined sword intent he had condensed after drawing his blade a hundred million times!
As Yamashita Kazami's chilling sword intent spread like a blizzard throughout the arena, all the spectators below were deeply moved!
"As expected of Miyata Ichiro's beloved disciple! Just in terms of pure sword intent, there's basically no one at the same level who can surpass him!"
"Are you kidding? No matter what, he is recognized as the number one Sword God in the Holy Knight Order. His strength is undeniable."
"Indeed, he may not be the strongest in the Holy Knight Order, but in terms of swordsmanship, there's absolutely no one in the Holy Knight Order who can compare to him!"
Below the stage.
Many spectators from the Holy Knight Order were full of praise.
Some career-changers who idolized Yamashita Kazami also began recounting the legend of this swordsmanship genius.
"Actually, when Yamashita Kazami was eighteen, he was just an ordinary boy."
"He was even mocked by many, saying that his daily sword-drawing practice was meaningless."
"But after a year of silence, he suddenly stopped his blade-drawing practice and made a stunning appearance in a swordsmanship competition at Sakura Academy."
"After that, he was noticed by Fusang Kingdom's number one Sword God, Miyata Ichiro, who took him as a disciple."
"Strictly speaking, Yamashita Kazami is a swordsmanship genius who reached his current level step by step through his own efforts!"
Many nodded slightly upon hearing this, evidently agreeing with this statement.
"I believe he will definitely crush the non-specialist from Dragon Kingdom!"
"I also think he has a great chance!"
"Yamashita Kazami, go for it!"
Some people immediately shouted for Yamashita Kazami.
However, Yamashita Kazami on stage could no longer hear the shouts around him.
He had entered the profound state of unity between man and sword!
This was a hidden passive skill of the Swordsman class!
And what was truly absurd was that this 'Unity of Man and Sword' passive skill was an F-rank skill!
At the same time, it was also recognized globally as the 'strongest beginner skill.'
Why was this hidden passive called the 'strongest beginner skill'?
That was because even at level 100, after becoming a tier-four Sword God, this passive was still indispensable!
It could be said that this passive was the very foundation of the Swordsman class!
This passive skill was divided into five stages.
Currently, most Sword God-class players remained at the second stage.
This was because most Sword Gods were merely ordinary career-changers, and some of them did not even like swordsmanship. They only chose this class because of its many advantages.
Only those with exceptional talent and a genuine love for swordsmanship could step into the third stage of Unity of Man and Sword.
This stage was also considered the entry-level stage.
Even if you were just a level 10 Swordsman, if your talent was extraordinary, you could directly step into the third stage of Unity of Man and Sword!
Meanwhile, Fusang Kingdom's strongest Sword God, Miyata Ichiro, was currently only at the peak of the fourth stage.
Yamashita Kazami was the only one in Fusang Kingdom who had reached the fourth stage of Sword God purely through hard work!
As for the fifth stage…
So far, Yamashita Kazami had never seen any Swordsman class player reach this stage.
According to his master, only a once-in-a-millennium swordsmanship prodigy, peerless in the world, could possibly touch the fifth stage of this passive skill!
At the same time, this fifth stage was the level that every Sword God class continuously pursued with relentless refinement!
Sometimes, his master would smile and ask Yamashita Kazami.
"You've heard of Dragon Kingdom's strongest Sword God, Fusang Kingdom's strongest Sword God, Free Federation's strongest Sword God…"
"But have you ever heard of the 'World's Strongest Sword God'!?"
Yamashita Kazami directly shook his head.
Miyata Ichiro then smiled slightly, "That is the answer!"
"Look at us so-called Sword Gods—aren't we all limited to a single country?"
"Throughout the world, the one recognized as the strongest in swordsmanship has yet to be born!"
All swordsmen crave the title of 'World's Strongest.'
But no Swordsman class player is qualified to bear this title!
At this moment.
As Yamashita Kazami pushed the hilt guard with his supporting hand, his sword intent and aura became overwhelmingly powerful. The snowy-white sword aura of 'Dance of Fine Snow' spread across the entire arena like a froststorm.
The entire stage was shrouded in white mist.
The spectators below had their field of vision greatly restricted.
But everyone could feel the silent confrontation between the two!
As things stood.
Everyone below believed that Yamashita Kazami had already gained the upper hand!
At the very least, the faint stinging sensation on their skin was all thanks to Yamashita Kazami's presence!
It was worth mentioning…
That the non-specialist still held his sword in a standard one-handed stance!
Compared to Yamashita Kazami's dazzling sword aura sweeping across the arena, he seemed utterly ordinary!
Ling Zhan exhaled lightly, lifted his head, and calmly looked at the brilliantly white sword aura surrounding him.
Then, he gazed at Yamashita Kazami, whose aura and sword intent had peaked, and his voice, as if devoid of emotion like a god, softly rang out.
"Is this your swordsmanship?"
As he spoke these words.
A deep look of disappointment flashed through Ling Zhan's eyes.
"Too flashy, too deliberate!"
"Let me show you what true swordsmanship really is!!"
