Otaku Witch-Chapter 997 - 604. Chiyoda Kujo_2

"Tengu Shinto-ryu’s complete transmission, Chiyoda Kujo, has arrived."

This mature lady samurai also courteously reported her name first, then bowed, and finally reached out to grasp the hilt of the magnificent katana at her waist.

Immediately, the sound of thunder resounded, and terrifying lightning illuminated the entire banquet hall, turning everything white.

"Thousand Paths of Thunder Light, dance forth, Raikiri."

......

In the audience, the other guests who initially lowered their heads in silence due to the Demon Sword Princess’s rampage now raised their heads. Most of them looked on with some envy, and even a trace of admiration, at this mature lady samurai shrouded in lightning, resembling the Thunder God.

Though Chiyoda Kujo did state just now that she was not from a martial family specialized in swordsmanship or martial arts, but from the Kujo Family, which stands at the pinnacle of the Regent House, this did not prevent her from becoming the youngest general in the current Heavenly Magistrate Office.

Although General Kujo is an artillery witch, specializing in ultra-long-range and large-scale bombardment, it is well known that top-tier artillery witches are often also proficient in close combat. While this young general frequently humbles herself by saying her martial skills are average and she lacks talent, anyone who believes that is a fool. After all, she just said it herself: she is a complete transmission of Tengu Shinto-ryu.

That is the complete transmission.

Although there are many schools of swordsmanship on Japan, the grading system for swordsmanship assessments is similar, generally divided into four stages: "Paper Cutting," "Catalogue," "License," and "Complete Transmission."

Of these, Paper Cutting, as the name suggests, is the ability to cut folded paper along its original crease, symbolizing a basic level of swordsmanship, and is the lowest level swordsmanship certificate.

Catalogue indicates you’ve started studying the techniques of a school and have begun entering the realm of swordsmanship.

License represents an outstanding student of a school; you have effectively graduated, qualified to report your school’s name when traveling.

As for the final Complete Transmission, it is the status of a student who has completed their studies, representing that you have completely mastered all the techniques of a school, qualifying you to establish a school and take on apprentices.

Thus, the title of Complete Transmission is an honor countless samurai dream of, representing you are no longer an apprentice on the path of swordsmanship but a swordsman who can stand independently, capable of striving for the honor of being a "Sword Master" at the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Therefore, naturally, the swordsmanship strength of General Kujo, being a complete transmission of Tengu Shinto-ryu, goes without saying, and most of the assault witches from a martial family present here are actually not her match for even one sweep of her sword.

One can only say that sometimes heaven is so unfair: exceptional talent is elusive to ordinary people, but geniuses always have talents heaped upon them in various ways.

Why would an artillery witch need such a strong talent in swordsmanship? Don’t be so unfocused from your main profession—share some talent with us.

The assault witches present were enviously and jealously thinking this in their hearts.

Of course, the resentment in the hearts of these onlookers did not affect the duel on stage.

Although Chiyoda Kujo looked mighty and powerful at this moment, the young general’s heart wasn’t relaxed.

Her nerves were tense, carefully guarding against the possible attack from that fearsome demon blade opposite her; as a swordsmanship master, she naturally could see the terror of her opponent at a glance.

Though this Lady Demon Blade hadn’t exhibited any ultimate techniques or special sword skills of any school before, her opponent’s swordsmanship foundation was solid to a terrifying degree, drawing much attention.

Previously, many people couldn’t see how Nao Nijo lost, and some thought the Demon Sword Princess used some remarkable secret move, but Chiyoda Kujo could see very clearly—it wasn’t any special sword skill; it was merely an extreme execution of a basic drawing and cutting technique.

The Nine Forms and Thirteen Blades are the fundamental basis of all swordsmanship in Japan.

But to practice such plain basic swordsmanship to a level comparable to a Secret Sword technique, how long did this Demon Sword Princess train?

No wonder Nao, who never focused on martial practice daily despite learning swordsmanship for ten years but practiced genuinely for less than two and a half years, lost so thoroughly.

Likewise, after witnessing that terrifyingly solid fundamental cut, Chiyoda Kujo knew very well that if it was purely a contest of sword skills, she stood no chance.

However, while the Demon Sword Princess’s sword skill was indeed strong, in other aspects, she had too many weaknesses, such as her inferior weapon.

The mature lady samurai, amidst the thunder, raised her lightning-entwined long sword.

Demon Blade, Raikiri.

This is the name of the treasured blade in her hand, and it ranks among the upper-echelon famous swords among all demon blades, with attributes quite compatible with her prowess in Thunder Magic.

Her swordsmanship, enhanced by the power of Raikiri, became even more refined and perfect. Similarly, Raikiri, augmented by her swordsmanship and magic power, became sharper.

The so-called swordsmanship is the art of guiding cooperation between person and sword—unity of man and sword is the ultimate in swordsmanship. A mere demonic blade swinging itself, while formidable, still has its limits.

How could a Demon Sword Princess, unable to even exhibit her own demonic blade’s stance, withstand her Raikiri’s razor-sharp blade with just a mere magical blade formed of some condensed Sword Qi?

"Don’t underestimate people, demon blade."

At the moment, Chiyoda Kujo let out a loud shout, then, surrounded by limitless lightning, transformed into lightning herself, followed by a flash of lightning crash.
