Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1807 - 1808: Very Dangerous

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I know, panicking now won't help. I just hope he can hold on a little longer, so we can find a way to handle the next duel."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "My father is that kind of person, who places great importance on the honor of the family and Ittō-ryū, so after being provoked by Watanabe Kazushi, he'll face any danger head-on."

Ling Zhenfei said, "But hasn't he thought that if he loses this duel, it would be a huge disgrace for the entire Hoshino Family and Ittō-ryū?"

Hoshino Meigetsu was also at a loss for words, knowing this matter is crucial to Ittō-ryū as a whole and not knowing what to do.

As the Celestial Maiden of Ittō-ryū, any problems with Ittō-ryū would significantly affect her relationship with it as well.

If Ittō-ryū loses face, then she too would lose face.

Appearance is minor; if they lose this duel, the Watanabe Family can randomly set a condition, likely forcing the entire Hoshino Family out of Bin Qi Wu.

Bin Qi Wu, this Ninja City, is an important existence in the entire Island Nation; if they move out, where could the Hoshino Family go, and could they still mingle in the ninja circles?

Moreover, in terms of competition, Ittō-ryū losing would mean losing to Iga-ryu, which no one wants to see.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now we can only look to the next match. Our candidate for the next match is Hoshino Kuri. I don't know how strong this person is."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "Hoshino Kuri is my uncle, at the peak of the Zhiyi Boundary. He should be capable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I may not know who the Watanabe Family is sending out now, but they are at least of the Peak of Zhiyi state.

Facing off against a Peak of Zhiyi state opponent doesn't ensure victory, but we need guaranteed victory."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "Perhaps this is fate. Without you, we would surely lose; but with you, at least we've given ourselves a fighting chance."

Ling Zhenfei's heart sank as he thought about how to help the Hoshino Family win the upcoming battle.

At this moment, the two people on the stage were already engaged in combat, both wielding weapons.

Both were exceptionally strong, and with the weapons' influence, the fight became even more intense.

Both used long blades, the katana unique to the Island Nation, with slender and long blades that are extremely sharp due to the forging process.

Ittō-ryū is proficient in Iaido, which is powerful because the katana's drawing strength from its scabbard is unknown, and neither is when the blade will be drawn.

The highest state in Ittō-ryū is to draw blood once the blade is out of the scabbard, but few can achieve this.

It's especially difficult against experts of the same level.

Actually, if not for this battle determining victory or defeat, Ling Zhenfei would have loved to see this spectacular longsword duel, but he was preoccupied with ways to win the next bout, so he didn't watch too closely.

Yet, the entire stage was filled with the shine of blades; initially, neither attacked, holding one hand on their sword handles, ready to draw at any time.

However, no one wanted to attack first, waiting for the other to show a flaw before striking.

Once someone attacks, it would be with overwhelming strength, and each time they strike, it's almost simultaneous, followed by the flicker of white light from the drawn blades.

If one was merely an onlooker without cultivation, they might not even see what was happening under the white flashes.

But Ling Zhenfei was no ordinary person; he could naturally see how they executed their moves and the direction of the longswords.

Whenever the longswords clashed, the two would immediately switch techniques at the instant of collision.

Then came the next collision, where in an instant, their longswords would clash dozens of times, leading many to only hear the long clash of metal without knowing what transpired.

Ling Zhenfei secretly gave a thumbs-up; this sword technique was indeed formidable, beyond his ability.

Ling Zhenfei's main battle techniques came from the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, which provided no weapon usage tactics, so he generally fought with his fists.

Even though he possessed the extraordinarily powerful Dragon Tooth Dagger, it didn't exhibit any special abilities.

He relied on the Dragon Qi suppression from the Dragon Tooth Dagger, and its ability to absorb and release Northern Spiritual Energy.

As for any special blade techniques, Ling Zhenfei didn't have much to reference.

Seeing the battle between Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi, he benefited greatly.

A skilled person can discover something by observing others' battles, think of something, and gain insight.

It's what they say about experts seeing through complexities while laymen watch the fun.

At the peak of the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, Ling Zhenfei had astonishing vision; no matter how the two changed their blade techniques or how fast, it couldn't escape his gaze.

So to Ling Zhenfei, it seemed as if the two were just practicing sword techniques in front of him.

He was pleased watching but also realized something fundamental.

Although it appeared the two equally matched in swordsmanship, Ling Zhenfei noticed that Watanabe Kazushi was at ease.

Using sword techniques at this level, every move carries Northern Spiritual Energy, which naturally consumes a lot of it.

It became evident that Watanabe Kazushi's strength was superior to Hoshino Yuji's.

Hoshino Yuji was initially at a disadvantage, and now being injured, couldn't compete with Watanabe Kazushi.

Ling Zhenfei knew that if it continued like this, prolonged fighting would lead Hoshino Yuji to inevitably lose; that would be when he loses the match.

It was time to think about how to handle the next match.

After watching Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi's battle, Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of something.

He waved at Hoshino Yuji, and Hoshino Yuji, who had been focused on the stage, immediately looked over at Ling Zhenfei.

Hoshino Junka curiously asked, "Honey, did you think of something?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "I thought of a way for the next match that could increase our chances of winning."

Hoshino Meigetsu was very excited and asked, "What should we do?"

Ling Zhenfei glanced at Hoshino Meigetsu and said, "You go up for the next match."

Hoshino Meigetsu was shocked, "What did you say? Me!"

Hoshino Junka was also surprised and said, "Really? Let my sister go? Why not use stronger people from the family?"
