"I'm sorry, truly sorry..."
After the competition, it was Lu Xuanyu, the victor, who felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Sword Takeaway" is regarded by Japanese swordsmen as the essence of the Shin Kage-ryu technique. Shin Kage-ryu was the first in Japan to propose the concept of the "Living Sword," advocating not to use killing as the goal, and not to practice swordsmanship by killing. The idea that "reasonable practice is everything" aligns more with modern perspectives than traditional martial arts and fits better with the historical trend of technological progress.
The existing Miao Blade Skill also has a kinship with Shin Kage-ryu. In a certain year of the Xinyou era during the Ming dynasty, the renowned general Qi Jiguang captured the Kage-ryu Sword Manual from an Eastern Ronin on the battlefield. Qi Jiguang created the "Xinyou Blade Method" based on his martial arts after incorporating the Kage-ryu Sword Manual.
"Sarutobi Kageyu" is precisely the ancestor of "Shin Kage-ryu."
