The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 1071: A Genius Unseen in a Century
Although Yagyu Jyugong is not one of them, his teacher is one of them.
Kawabata Yu Ming is a very patient person, but now he is also losing patience.
After he found Yagyu Jyugong and told him about the matters of the Yagyu and Kawabata families.
Yagyu Jyugong walked silently in the wind and snow, making Kawabata Yu Ming momentarily wonder whether this old fellow had been isolated too long and forgotten how to speak.
Just as Kawabata Yu Ming was about to lose patience, Yagyu Jyugong spoke softly.
"Unless it's confirmed that the opponent is a Martial Arts Grandmaster, I won't take action against Gang Qi Realm ants."
After saying this, Yagyu Jyugong said nothing more but drew his katana and began practicing Sword Dao amidst the swirling wind and snow.
As one of the four lesser Sword Saints of Japan, Yagyu Jyugong had a distinctive style when practicing swordsmanship.
In the endless wind and snow, he focused all his practices on the most basic of basic sword moves.
Those who knew understood he was one of the four lesser Sword Saints of Japan.
Those who didn't might think he was merely a Japanese Sword Dao apprentice.
While Yagyu Jyugong practiced the sword, Kawabata Yu Ming did not leave but stood quietly in the wind and snow, watching.
Initially, he didn't notice anything unusual and even felt somewhat awkward.
Because many of Yagyu Jyugong's movements were not standard, neither visually appealing nor capable of effective damage.
But after watching for a while, Kawabata Yu Ming suddenly understood.
To outsiders, Yagyu Jyugong's swordsmanship was not standard.
But to himself, it was indeed very standard.
Everyone's height, weight, and size are different, and there are significant differences in other aspects as well.
In this context, Yagyu Jyugong had found the path most suitable for himself and honed it meticulously.
This is a remarkable achievement; each of his movements now is textbook standard and perfect for him.
After watching for a while, Kawabata Yu Ming also unexpectedly drew his katana and began practicing using Yagyu Jyugong's methods.
In the boundless snowstorm, soon only two people practicing Japanese Sword Dao remained.
On the surface, Yagyu Jyugong remained calm.
But inside, his thoughts were anything but calm.
The eldest son of the Kawabata family, Kawabata Yu Ming, lives up to his reputation as a hundred-year martial arts genius of the Kawabata family.
He managed to grasp the subtlety of the Sword Dao in a very short time.
Furthermore, Kawabata Yu Ming showed rapid progress when he began practicing using his methods, demonstrating his frightening talent.
This world is fair, yet exciting.
It does not allow the grand stage to feature only geniuses like Su Fan; it also arranges opponents for Su Fan to face together.
Kawabata Yu Ming, at only twenty-five years old, already at the peak of Gang Qi Realm Great Perfection, is arranged as the first opponent for Su Fan.
Of course, neither Su Fan nor Kawabata Yu Ming has the intention of confronting each other at this time.
Yagyu Jyugong's opinion was quickly relayed by Kawabata Yu Ming to the Kawabata family.
The next task for the Kawabata family was to verify whether Su Fan was indeed at the peak of Gang Qi Realm or a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
This matter, for the Kawabata family, was of no particular concern.
They simply needed to dispatch a Gang Qi Realm peak expert to face Su Fan, and they would know Su Fan's true strength.
Such an expert could be arranged easily either internally within the Kawabata family or through other channels to test Su Fan.
And this time, the Kawabata family turned their attention to the Kutor Temple of the Esoteric Sect.
They were unwilling to risk their own Gang Qi Realm experts for such ventures.
But there was no problem in paying a price to have other experts undertake this mission on their behalf.
Moreover, the Kutor Temple of the Esoteric Sect, having lost Zen Master Danba and Fu Zan Master to Su Fan's hands, was eager for revenge against Su Fan.
While hidden currents swirled outside and the atmosphere was unpredictable, Su Fan's life was largely unaffected.
Indeed, even his treatments for Li Guanyun were proceeding very smoothly.
