Chapter 82 Analysis of Swordsmanship

"My old man, let me talk about this question first. In fact, Sawada has asked me several times and I have thought about it many times myself." The person who spoke was Chief Sasaki. Although the three-dimensional projection playback was paused, his figure still seemed blurry under the light.

"In the trial, these changes should be said to be instinctive, not 'Ah, Yayoi-kun made such a reaction, so I should change so that I can get the first move'. In my mind, I have never had such thoughts. Everything is subconscious and has not been thought about at all."

Speaking of this, Chief Sasaki paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, but he quickly continued to explain: "Last time Professor Sawada asked about this, I was thinking, since it was not the judgment made by the brain through thinking, then, what made me decide that sword technique should change like this?"

"Every time I try, the opponents are different, the environment is different, and the response moves are also different. In such a complex situation, I can basically make a pretty appropriate response every time. If I have to say that this response is entirely due to chance, it doesn't make sense.

Then there must be something that can go over my brain and make accurate judgments when I try it out. And this thing should have a certain level of thinking and processing ability.

In the past, we usually called it "body instinct, or the sword instinct that has been tempered for thousands of times". But if you think deeply about it, the old man also wants to know what this "body instinct" is!"

After a while, seeing that no one answered, Professor Sawada said: "The statement of physical instinct is too general. Our project team has been studying this for a long time. The human body's reaction can be roughly divided into reactions caused by nerve reflexes, such as knee reflexes. This is the first priority sequence and the fastest reaction speed;

There are also reactions caused by various hormones in the human body, such as secretion of adrenaline, which can cause excitatory effects such as concentration of the human body and enhanced ability to resist hits. This is the second sequence, with the reaction speed second;

There is also the conditioned reflex formed after training after the day after the two unrelated conditions are linked together. This is the third sequence. In this case, depending on the situation, the reaction speeds vary. The fast ones can approach the first sequence, and the slowest ones are often less than the processing speed after the brain feedback.

As for the reaction speed of the two swordsmen in the trial combination, it has exceeded the theoretical threshold and exceeded the nerve reflex speed of the first sequence. Therefore, this cannot be explained by the theory that our project team has formed. Therefore, I will raise this question again today."

Even under the cover of light and shadow, it can be seen that Professor Sawada, who was standing in the middle of the hall, shook his head in disappointment.

"Actually, everyone here has thought about this question. After all, when fighting and trying to match, there will be no time to think carefully about which move is more appropriate. Everyone should rely on the results of daily practice and deal with it directly in an instant, and there will be no time to think carefully.

Our way of improving this kind of response to the battle seems to be to practice more and fight more, and there is no good way to intuitively improve."

The person who spoke should be a swordsman, but Aoki Ryoji didn't know him. Under the three-dimensional projection, he couldn't even see what he looked like.

"I have some ideas, but it is mainly a guess, which is based on my own situation." This is the voice of teacher Yayoi Motoka, which rang not far away in front of me.

"Master Yanagi said that we don't even have a research direction now, and any ideas are valuable," said Professor Sawada.

"First of all, in addition to the brain, other nervous systems of the human body also have certain information processing capabilities.

Secondly, there is a saying in the Celestial Continent that describes a certain martial arts realm, "A feather cannot be added, and a fly cannot fall." It describes the sensitivity of the warrior's skin and the speed of responding to external stimuli.

Combining the two, I think that perhaps the warrior may have richer and more sensitive peripheral nerves than ordinary people after long-term practice; similarly, in terms of ganglion, the warrior's ganglion may have stronger information processing capabilities than ordinary people due to long-term exercise. If there is a way of interaction between these ganglions, then when the warrior is duel, it may really rely on another system to make thinking and judgment, rather than through the brain."

The room was quiet for a moment.

"Papapapapapa--" The applause rang out, which was where Professor Sawada was.

"Master Yanagi, although you are the youngest here, you are the most scientific-minded swordsman I have ever met. Should you join our human sports team? I think your way of thinking is very suitable for scientific research!" Professor Sawada said excitedly after applauding.

"Haha, Professor Sawada, you're joking. I'm just in junior high school. It's okay to mention these little ideas. I have to conduct scientific research step by step. The accumulation of knowledge is far from enough. Joining the human sports group, the only function is probably to be studied, right?"

As he said that, Yagyu Motohe laughed. Under the light, although he couldn't see the facial expressions of everyone, laughter came from all directions. It is estimated that the swordsmen were harassed by these scientific researchers a lot.

"It's such a pity. Yan Shengjun, science is the direction of human development. No matter how outstanding a swordsman is, it is difficult for him to fully impart his abilities to the next generation of disciples, because everyone is not sure how his abilities are obtained.

Therefore, even if the kendo world breaks the boundaries of genres and communicates with each other, there are still very few people who can condense martial souls and become swordsmen.

This is because the process of condensation of martial souls has been only an empirical product until now, and cannot be accurately described through science, so it cannot be taught.

This requires us, scientific researchers and swordsmen to work together to find hope to uncover this mystery. Yagyu-kun, your scientific thinking is also one of our hopes. Come on, study hard. I hope that one day, you can join our project team as both the Jianhao and the scientific researchers."

"Okay, let's continue to play. This trial match is the most mysterious trial match that our project team has encountered since its establishment in twelve years ago. There are still many things that need to be discussed below."

——————————

"Please note here, Chief Sasaki's fallen leaf slash, the two swords swung each other, and issued forty-three consecutive slashes. However, each slash has two to three directions during the slash. According to our project team's calculations, if such changes are made under high-speed slashes, it is a huge burden on the wrist and elbows.

It should be fine once or twice, but forty-three slashes, making such frequent changes every time, which is not a normal person can bear. Even with Chief Sasaki's body, according to the calculation data, this should not be possible." Professor Sawada adjusted Chief Sasaki's first offensive speed from three times slow-release to ten times slow-release.

On the three-dimensional projection, the two long swords in Chief Sasaki's hand, when it was released ten times slow, it was still visible that each sword was shaking, as if it was falling leaves in the wind, changing with the wind.

Aoki Ryoji was already surprised and unable to speak. Could this be the strength of the swordsman? He never even thought about this kind of swordsmanship. He had watched the Wuhun Jue competition. Although he was less than old, there were some ways to see this kind of cold weapon competition. Even in previous competitions of Wuhun Jue, he had never seen such amazing swordsmanship! Of course, it is also possible that there was no such clear three-dimensional projection in live broadcasts and videos, and there was no ten times slow-playing camera to watch.

After Professor Sawada asked questions, Chief Sasaki cleared his throat and explained to everyone: "This is not difficult to do. You can see from slow motion that most of the time, my two swords were on both sides of my body, taking turns to attack, and rarely cut out at the same time.

In fact, I treat my body as a rope, tie two long swords to both ends. Every time I change, I sometimes use the strength of my wrist, elbow and shoulder joints to change the path of the knife, but more often, I use the inertial force generated by the wave of the long sword on the other side to change the route of the swing and thrust through adjustments in different postures.

You see, I was constantly swaying left and right, just to use pulling force and thrust to change the path of the knife, and these forces can be repeated, without any effort. Look here, I first waved my right hand and was slashed by Yasuo Jun. The human body was half-turned and the left hand swung. In order to avoid Yasuo Jun's block, I picked my wrist up. At this time, Yasuo Jun's sword also began to move upwards;

I pressed my elbow down, and the left-hand knife stopped moving upward, and pulled my shoulder backward, turning it into a drag knife and slashed horizontally. Pay attention to my right-hand knife. This knife drew an arc and a half in the area where no one was left. One was to accumulate momentum for the next slash, and the other was to use the inertia of the right-hand knife to generate a pulling force. This pull force is the source of my shoulder pulling backward, turning the left-hand knife into a horizontal force."

"This is the mystery of 'Fallen Leaf Slash'. Its power changes not only come from the arm and elbow of one arm, but also the interaction force between two long swords. Not only that, every time Yayoi-kun attacks my weapon, it can actually push my sword faster and save more effort."

"So that's it. No wonder every time I fight with you, I always feel that your sword is getting faster and faster and harder to guard against." I don't know which swordsman spoke, but under the cover of the three-dimensional projection, Aoki Ryoji couldn't see anyone.

——————————

"Let's continue to look at it. Here, Master Sasaki used the 'Yanhui'. We have discussed this technique more than once, so I won't talk about it in detail. If Master Yagyu is interested, he can call the Jianhao Society's database, which includes images to mechanics and physiological analysis, as well as Master Sasaki's personal demonstration instructions."

"It is something that everyone needs to pay attention to. Look, when Master Sasaki used the 'Two Flying Swallow', Master Yayoi could say that he had no way to resist and could dodge. In terms of kendo terms, this is the 'death realm', but Master Yayoi could actually move back a little more than a foot away. Pay attention to this, Master Yayoi's knees are upright without any bending movements."

Speaking of this, Professor Sawada stopped and the entire conference hall was quiet, waiting for Yagyu Tomokazu's explanation.

"Well, it's hard to explain this empty vernacular. Teacher Sawada, can it project a model of muscle distribution in the human body?" Yagyu Motoka thought for a while and spoke.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask them to transmit data. Is it OK to build an ideal mannequin model by our project team?" Professor Sawada made a phone call and it seemed that he was asking someone to transmit data.

"Okay, Master Yanao, can you see this model?" The three-dimensional projection covering the room dispersed, and in the middle of the room, a mannequin of about 2.5 meters was projected.

"Okay, please see, I shouted at that time." Yagyu Motohiro pointed at the projection model with a handful of "Snow Washing" imitation:

"The shock force of the lungs affects the lower abdomen, along the iliopsoas muscle and the tenscis muscle of fascia lata, and is transmitted to the sartois muscle and quadriceps muscle. During this period, there was no horizontal force, but only accumulated kinetic energy through contraction and expansion. Finally, when this part of the force was transmitted to Lungu, Neobaying burst out, and at the same time, the four muscles in the foot contracted at the same time, creating the force that made me move."

The conference hall became quiet again. This time it was quiet for a long time before someone spoke.

"Uh, are we behind the scenes?" The speaker was the only female sword tycoon present. Hoshino Yukio: "Are all modern young people so powerful? They have combined human body structure into the kendo in the second grade of junior high school. Yagyu-kun is really————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Hoshino Yukiya said two real words, maybe they couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, so they had to say, "It's really amazing."

"Haha, it seems that when we include disciples in the future, we must also consider our academic performance." Amano Akimoto said with a laugh.

"Yes, yes, modern technology is not comparable to ancient times. If you can't keep up with the times, even if you can't practice kendo well," everyone started to discuss it in a lingering manner.

At this time, the three-dimensional projection covering the entire venue had dissipated, and only a huge mannequin was projected in the middle of the hall. Aoki Ryoji could see that the swordsmen were leaning on each other, lying, standing, and hanging, all kinds of postures, chatting relaxedly.

However, there are many people who are like Aoki Ryoji, standing or sitting in a manner, probably these people are juniors of all swordsmen. These people should also be qualified as a candidate swordsmen. Aoki Ryoji looked over at first sight and none of them spoke among those who were standing properly and sitting properly.
