The Beginning of the End: All Humans Are Destroyed, I Forcefully Chase the Valkyries

Chapter 148 Essence Part Three
In front of the blind old man Tomita Shigen, several giant men with swords who were as strong as mountains appeared. From the temperament of these strong men, it can be clearly seen that each of them is a good hand with swords!
Tomita Seigen stretched out his hand to touch these giants, but in the end he couldn't touch them, and the touch in his hands was not soft skin, but hard wood!
"So that's the way it is, I can see it clearly, old man!"

Tomita Shigen's fingers were groping back and forth on the wood in front of him, and he could feel that there would be a crooked, horizontal or vertical gap in the wood at every short distance, varying in size. One, the depth is uneven, it is obviously a mark cut by a samurai sword!

And it was the sword intent left by Sasaki Kojiro on these traces that caused Tomita Segen to have the hallucination of the giants in front of him!
In Tomita Seigen's mind at this time, Sasaki Kojiro's hell-style practice that he spent four years in this room day and night has emerged!

"Hehehe... Kojiro, I can actually see all of your extraordinary training!"

With the affirmation of his teacher Tomita Segen, Kojiro Sasaki was not humble: "Ah... I spent almost four years and more than nine months in order to surpass everyone in the dojo!"

Tomita Segen is like a blind man touching an elephant, he just touched an elephant's toe.

In Sasaki Kojiro's room, from the floor to the roof, and even the walls, no place was intact. There were all traces of being invaded by swords, and there were signs written everywhere on the pillars on the walls saying "This area is nearby" Papyrus with the names of all the famous swordsman masters!

"It's not to prove your strength to others, nor is it to compete with others. It's just to make yourself move towards the strongest. Such a simple and lonely reason. It's really not easy for you to do this alone!"

And the name of Sasaki Kojiro's teacher Tomita Segen was also posted on the wall as a matter of course, and there were two bright scars on it!

When Tomita Shigen touched a thick and deep knife mark under his name, his heart was completely shocked!

"Kojiro Sasaki...you have surpassed Segen Tomita!"

The master and apprentice sat facing each other, and Sasaki Kojiro made tea for his teacher Tomita Segen.

Said it was tea, but it was just leaves that Sasaki Kojiro picked up from the forest.

However, as a samurai, Tomita Segen never paid too much attention to eating and drinking. He drank the leaves when he drank the leaves, and he also felt that the tea made from the leaves had a special flavor.

"Kojiro, I would like to recommend you to the Asakura family as a mentor. With your skills, it will be no problem to become the monarch of a city and a country in the future."

Tomita Segen drank leaf tea and told Sasaki Kojiro what he was thinking. After what he saw today, he already had a rough understanding of Kojiro's strength.The current Toda-ryu has nothing to teach him.

Sasaki Kojiro heard that Tomita Segen wanted to send him to Asakura's house, he bowed his head and bowed: "Master, it's rare to see you again, I have nothing to miss, and it's time to leave Echizen... ...there is nothing in this land that pleases me anymore."

Sasaki Kojiro's answer was within Tomita Segen's expectation. The free-spirited Sasaki Kojiro would rather live in seclusion in the mountains than spend his days under the banner of the princes.

"So... where are you going?"

"I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet...but...the only thing I can be sure of is that the path I want to take is still a path of constant failure!"

Since then, Sasaki Kojiro left Tomita Segen’s dojo, and his whereabouts have become less known, even if there are only a few records in historical materials, but the only thing that is certain is that Sasaki Kojiro has indeed carried out his path of defeatism idea.

He challenged Ito Ito Sai Keihisa, the founder of Ikto-ryu, but surrendered in failure.

He challenged Yagyu Xinyinliu Yagyu Shishuzhai Zongyan, but failed and surrendered.

Challenged the founder of Xinyinliu, the "Sword Master" Kamizumi Ise Shouxingang, and was completely defeated.

Sasaki Kojiro fell in the middle of the road, the strength of the Juggernaut made him powerless to fight back.

"Haha, you are truly worthy of being a sword master. My level is not at the same level at all."

Sasaki Kojiro, like the dry and cracked land, seeks rain to bring him nourishment, just like other swordsmen who are looking for something, but what other swordsmen are looking for is constant victory, and what Sasaki Kojiro is looking for is The rain named "failure".

"So... how to win?" Sasaki Kojiro once again asked himself the question he had asked countless times.

Training, Enlightenment, Tonic.From the mind to the body, Sasaki Kojiro used the mirror image in his mind as the opponent, and practiced non-stop until the day when he completely defeated the opponent.

Finally, when Sasaki Kojiro tore off the paper with the name of swordsman Kamiizumi Ise Shouxin Tsuna in his hand on the night of the full moon, the strongest loser was born!

Sasaki Kojiro kept sinking in the abyss called failure. Maybe he really enjoyed this feeling in the past, but today he has had enough of this feeling. He doesn't want to lose today, and he can't lose today!
"Kojiro!"

A withered hand grabbed Sasaki Kojiro's shoulder. Sasaki Kojiro looked back and saw that it was his first teacher, Tomita Segen!
Then more voices sounded around Sasaki Kojiro, all calling his name.

Sasaki looked around. It was every swordsman he had ever fought who had defeated him, lifting him up from the abyss!
As soon as Sasaki opened his eyes, reality was already in front of him. Poseidon, the god of the sea, stopped the flood for [-] days and [-] nights. The entire arena was broken at this time, and the water behind Sasaki Kojiro was also constantly churning. It's far from over!

"Kojiro! Kojiro! Kojiro!"

What brought Sasaki Kojiro back from his memories was the cries of these former friends and opponents!

"What are they doing? Are those humans sick?"

The scene in front of them made the audience of God's Domain really incomprehensible!

Empty swings, continuous empty swings, hundreds of thousands of swordsmen in the auditorium stood up at the same time, calling Sasaki Kojiro's name, while waving their hands to practice swinging swords.

"Don't surrender! Kojiro! This duel has just begun!!!"

"Let them see and see, the true essence of being a swordsman!!!"
