Miyamoto Musashi's [Niten Ichi-ryū] was also a very innovative school in the history of Japan where there were many schools of swordsmanship.
It was worth mentioning that people generally thought that Miyamoto Musashi was the founder of [Two Swords School] and that Miyamoto Musashi's school of swordsmanship was [Two Swords School], but in fact, it was not so.
The concept of [Two Swords School] was very simple. It referred to using two swords to fight, that was all.
In fact, there were already swordsmen before Miyamoto Musashi who could wield two swords. However, the strength of such swordsmen was not even comparable to a swordsman with one sword. The strength was far less than expected. Therefore, [Two Swords School] was also known as the evil way of swordsmanship.
It was obvious that the concentration and energy required for a person's left hand and right hand to wield two swords at the same time was far greater than the energy required to wield one sword.
And 99% of the people in the world were unable to do different things with their left hand and right hand.
It was like drawing a circle with one hand and drawing a square with the other. If one wanted to wield two swords at the same time and let the power of the two swords surpass [One Swords School], and let [Two Swords School] truly exert the effect of two swordsmen wielding swords together, one must have the ability to multitask.
Until Miyamoto Musashi created [Niten Ichi-ryū].
He unified the two swords together by using the form of a big and a small sword. It was like a swordsman holding a long sword, a swordsman holding a short sword, and two swordsmen wielding swords together. This school was called [Niten Ichi-ryū].
Such a school thoroughly carried forward [Two Swords School], so Miyamoto Musashi became the representative of [Two Swords School]. When people talked about [Two Swords School], they would definitely mention Miyamoto Musashi, which made people confuse the concept of [Two Swords School] with [Niten Ichi-ryū].
And the [Niten Ichi-ryū] used by the girl Musashi who taught Ryuga swordsmanship was different from Miyamoto Musashi in history.
The two swords used by the historical swordsman Musashi were actually one long and one short. The 'Swords School' was long and the 'Sabers School' was short.
Although it was called "Dual Blade School", in fact, it was still mainly used to attack with knives. It did not require a strong ability to multitask. Even if an ordinary person trained more, they could also do it. It was not a real "Dual Blade School".
But Musashi was different.
The two sabers she used were both 'fighting sabers'. Instead of one being long and one being short, they were both long sabers that were more than a meter long.
This meant that her [Niten Ichi-ichirō] and Miyamoto Musashi's [Niten Ichi-ichirō] were definitely not the same thing.
It was hard to say which was better or worse, but in this way, if he wanted to learn Musashi's [Niten Ichi-ryū], he would have to have a very powerful ability to 'multitask'.
After spending another day learning the nine basic moves of the Japanese swordsmanship, Ryuga tried to dual wield two identical long swords.
And then he did it.
The right hand held the saber and slashed diagonally from the top right to the bottom left, while the left hand held the saber and slashed horizontally from the left to the right.
The right hand used the second move of the basic swordsmanship, the 'Kasaya Chop', and the left hand used the fourth move, the 'Left Horizontal Cut'. Both hands swung out two swords at different times and positions.
Although Liu Xia had not mastered the eight basic sword moves into muscle memory, causing him to stumble a little and not be able to execute them properly, he was able to multitask very quickly.
It was as if he was born with such talent.
If it was said that Musashi was surprised and amazed by his excellent talent before, then after Ryuga showed the quality of multitasking, Musashi's face was more or less speechless.
Although multitasking was not unique, it could definitely be said to be rare in the world.
Excellent talent, coupled with the quality of multitasking, such a young man seemed to have appeared specifically to inherit her [Niten Ichi-ichirō].
It made Musashi have the thought of 'could it be that I came to this world to take this young man as my disciple?'.
But because of this, Musashi's heart became more and more heated.
She liked to spar with swordsmen from all walks of life. Every time she met a famous or powerful swordsman, she would not be able to suppress the urge to compete with them.
Sometimes, she would even choose to provoke her opponent because she could not suppress her inner battle intent. Because of this, she had suffered a lot.
However, she had never tried to fight against a disciple she had taught who could completely inherit her legacy.
A disciple who could completely inherit her swordsmanship, in other words, was equivalent to another copy of her. Sparring with such a disciple was actually similar to sparring with another version of herself.
That's right, at this moment, Musashi was not thinking of sparring with a disciple, but rather, sparring with herself.
Sparring with herself was always the best way to surpass herself. It was the best medicine to let her go one step further and come into contact with her own swordsmanship — — the Realm of Emptiness.
However, even if a person may have all kinds of opponents in their life, but in most cases, people would not treat themselves as an opponent.
Musashi now had such a possibility.
She would train this young man in front of her into a swordsman who could match or even surpass her, and then use her own sword — — to defeat him!
"Aiya, I'm really looking forward to your future, Ryuga Jann!"
Musashi looked at Ryuga with a spirited gaze. Her sky-blue eyes were filled with burning expectations for Ryuga. "Ryuga Jann, if we meet again in the future, we must use [Niten Chi-Ichiro] to determine the winner. This is my promise with you!"
Ryuga glanced at her. Although he more or less understood her character, at this moment, he still could not understand her thoughts.
Just like what Musashi said, Ryuga could not fall in love with the [Way of the Sword], so he could never understand what kind of passion and thoughts a person who had an extraordinary obsession with the [Way of the Sword] would have.
However, this kind of person who had a burning passion to the point of burning people, without exception, was a very interesting person.
In Ryuga's heart, for the first time, the thought of 'Musashi is not a tool, but an interesting person' appeared in his mind.
People who had feelings that he could not understand, and who were arrogant, were one of the three types of people he thought were the most interesting.
Because they all had something that Ryuga did not.
"Okay."
Although he did not understand, Ryuga still agreed.
However, it was not because his heart was touched or anything. Although he thought that Miyamoto Musashi was an interesting person, his frozen feelings did not waver in the slightest.
The reason why he agreed was only to let Musashi maintain that burning passion, so that he could teach him more attentively.
In a situation where they did not know each other, the arrogance and indifference in their hearts formed a sharp contrast.
