Chapter 565: The Swordsmanship Level of Sitting at a Table with a Child

"Uh, did I do something wrong?"

Broly could sense the girl's mood was somewhat off, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, so he just asked directly.

【A boy this age, no wonder he has no interest in a woman's body. Honestly, I'm actually arguing with a child~】

Isayama Huangquan looked at the boy with some apprehension on his face, quickly dispelling the shame and anger rising in her heart. She let go of the hand pinching the boy's cheek, shook her head, and replied: "No, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm the one who was wrong; I misunderstood."

"Can I continue to contemplate Sister Huangquan from now on?"

Broly asked.

"Of course. Do you need Sister to model for you, wearing several different styles of clothes to provide you with material for contemplation?"

The recovered Isayama Huangquan asked with a smile.

"Can I?"

"Uh, that might require buying new clothes."

Isayama Huangquan opened her wardrobe and found the clothes inside were almost all the same style—mostly easy-to-wear black school uniforms, at most differing only between summer and winter styles. This made her somewhat embarrassed.

"Okay."

Broly nodded and agreed. Although it wasn't necessary to contemplate her specifically—he could contemplate other things—since the girl was willing to let him use her as a contemplation subject, there was no need to refuse her kindness.

"It's getting late; it's time to sleep. Broly, have you adapted to this home yet?"

Isayama Huangquan asked while sitting on the bed.

"I've adapted."

Broly answered honestly, and he had never been unadapted.

"Then, good night."

The girl's expression stiffened for a moment before she said.

"Sister Huangquan..."

Broly belatedly called out to her.

"Hmm?"

"Can I continue to sleep with you tonight?"

"But you've already adapted, haven't you?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Ah, it's not that it's not allowed. I really can't do anything about you. For a younger brother's request, how can I, as an older sister, refuse!"

While saying these words, Broly's side had already received the notification of the girl's Happiness Value increase. Apparently, she indeed hoped he could sleep with her.

"Broly..."

After the lights were turned off, Broly, once again used as a body pillow, heard the girl behind him call him.

"Hmm?"

He made a sound representing a question.

"I think you might have a special constitution."

"What do you mean?"

"Holding you, I seem to feel somewhat comfortable."

Broly fell silent. Isayama Huangquan's situation was somewhat similar to Wiz's—both were individuals lacking life force who needed to replenish it.

Wiz was like that because her race was Lich, while Isayama Huangquan was probably because she frequently came into contact with ghostly creatures. Wiz had Absorption Touch to replenish life force, but Isayama Huangquan seemed to have no corresponding means to replenish life force.

After adjusting his own breath, he was like a life-force-replenishing hand warmer. The girl might not have clearly noticed this, but she instinctively wanted to contact him.

"Then from now on, I'll come sleep with Sister Huangquan, okay?"

"You really are a clingy younger brother. Sister naturally agrees, but only for now."

The boy was still young now, so sleeping together was naturally no problem. But when he grew up, they would definitely have to avoid it. She didn't know Broly was the same age as her, smiled, and agreed. The Happiness Value on her body rose by another two points.

【Before this little guy grows up, let me, as his older sister, properly enjoy the feeling of hugging my little brother to sleep~】

The girl was like sniffing a cat, burying her face in the boy's head and inhaling. The scent of shampoo, mixed with the invisible Vitality Qi she couldn't see, was inhaled into her body together, replenishing her insufficient life force caused by long-term contact with spirit bodies.

Broly did not resist and cooperated by transmitting his Qi to her, letting Isayama Huangquan soon sink into the gentle fragrance provided by this invisible life force, gradually falling asleep.

The next day, Isayama Naraku had to attend the Demon Extermination Alliance Meeting.

"I'm going out, Huangquan. I'm leaving the home to you."

The man entrusted the matters of the home to his adopted daughter.

"No problem, Father. Leave the matters of the home to me."

After seeing off her adoptive father at the front door, Isayama Huangquan turned her head to the boy following behind her and said.

"Broly, come with me to the Dojo. I'll teach you Exorcism Technique."

Today was Saturday, and Isayama Huangquan didn't have to go to school. She had plenty of time to teach Broly.

"Broly, what do you think Exorcism Technique is?"

After taking Broly to the Dojo, Isayama Huangquan didn't start teaching directly but asked the boy such a question.

"Are all tricks that can eliminate spirit bodies counted as Exorcism Technique?"

Broly replied somewhat uncertainly.

"Exorcism Technique isn't just so-called spells. Uh, what did you say?"

Isayama Huangquan, with her head raised and chest out, was originally going to give a more in-depth explanation of Exorcism Technique, but she found the boy's words completely different from her own answer when her father asked her this question before. She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"I say, all tricks that can eliminate spirit bodies are Exorcism Technique. Sister Huangquan, did I say something wrong?"

Broly repeated it louder and asked.

"No, it's just that Sister was shallow, treating you as an ordinary child."

Isayama Huangquan was somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, she felt that the super genius's train of thought was somewhat different from ordinary people's—at least, the boy's answers to questions were the kind that cut straight to the essence.

"Eh, I'm not ordinary, so……"

"Ah, Broly, don't misunderstand; for exorcists who have actually performed exorcisms, these are actually things they already know."

The essence of exorcism is exorcism itself; methods and such don't actually need to be bound by so-called spells—whether it's firing enchanted guns with bang-bang-bang, or using exorcism tools filled with Spirit Water and modified from electric irons, as long as they can effectively exorcise, they are good exorcism techniques.

"What big sister means is that you, who realized this even before actually exorcising, are a comparatively smart child."

"Uh, this might not be related to intelligence; the other day when we met, I watched Sister Huangquan and others exorcise using various means."

"Ah, I see, hahaha; big sister forgot about that point."

"Mm, after knowing that exorcism techniques aren't just simple spells, then it's easy to say—body techniques are also a comparatively important cultivation course for exorcists."

"And the first lesson big sister will teach you is the body technique class; big sister will teach you the way of using a sword, and teach you how to inject Spiritual Power into the sword!"

"Uh, Sister Huangquan, wasn't our sitting meditation class last night the first lesson you taught me?"

"Broly, can't you stop nitpicking?!"

Jianshan Huangquan leaned her body forward; she had indeed forgotten about this.

"Alright, Sister Huangquan, you have the final say."

Broly felt somewhat helpless.

"Anyway, take a bamboo sword first."

Jianshan Huangquan went to the side, opened the cabinet containing training swords, took out a bamboo sword from inside, and handed one to the boy.

After Broly took the bamboo sword, he subconsciously gripped it tightly.

"Eh, Broly, your sword-holding movement really has quite an aura!"

Jianshan Huangquan sensed the change in the boy's temperament and let out a sound of surprise.

Hearing this, Broly's expression stiffened for a moment; he had practiced swordsmanship for too long, and after taking the sword, he subconsciously used the sword-holding posture he was most accustomed to.

And some subtle movements, in the eyes of experts who also have a certain level of swordsmanship, can easily expose some things.

"Ah, Sister Huangquan, is holding the sword like this correct?"

Broly reacted quickly; after realizing he had accidentally exposed some things, he immediately made up for it.

He used excessive movements—swinging the sword in his hand around everywhere, which a swordsmanship expert would absolutely never do—to cover up the inexplicable feeling that, after he picked up the sword, he had accidentally revealed to those with a certain level of swordsmanship that 【the person holding the sword right now is a swordsmanship master, perhaps terrifyingly strong】.

"Uh, Broly, your sword-holding movement just now wasn't wrong; it gives big sister a feeling of being able to attack when advancing and defend when retreating."

While speaking, Jianshan Huangquan also realized that the boy seemed a bit off just now, but the girl looked at the boy now holding the bamboo sword looking at a loss, and thus took the previous feeling of something being off as an illusion.

【Now it's obvious at a glance that this child is an amateur; how could they be a swordsmanship expert? Perhaps they just have talent in swordsmanship, so after holding a sword for the first time, they instinctively found the most suitable sword-holding posture for themselves……】

"Come, now just use the sword-holding posture from just now."

To confirm this point, Jianshan Huangquan had Broly redo the sword-holding movement from just now.

"Is it like this?"

And Broly, who was prepared, this time showed no flaws; even though he made a posture exactly the same as the sword-holding movement from just now, he no longer gave people the feeling of a swordsmanship master who was sharp and could attack or block with a sword at any time.

"Eh, strange……"

Jianshan Huangquan felt something was weird, but couldn't say where it was weird; obviously, this girl had a certain level of swordsmanship, but hadn't reached the level of seeing through Broly, who deliberately disguised his swordsmanship.

"Sister Huangquan……"

Facing the boy's question again, the girl came back to her senses.

"What?"

"Next, what should I do?"

"Ah, next is practicing swinging the sword."

"Is it swung like this?"

Broly, in a standard manner, swung a sword forward in the air.

"No mistake."

Seeing this, Jianshan Huangquan nodded directly; although the boy no longer gave her that strange swordsman feeling, this swing was indeed skilled.

To say where the skill was, it was that Broly's sword-swinging movement was very steady, and when ordinary people first touch this, if they don't have a certain talent, their sword-swinging movement isn't that steady.

"Come, Broly, follow big sister's movements."

To confirm this wasn't a coincidence, Jianshan Huangquan also picked up a bamboo sword and made a sword-swinging movement, but wanted Broly to follow along and do it together.

For swordsmanship movements like side slashes, diagonal chops, upward thrusts, and so on, Broly imitated them, using a beginner's posture to do the same movements beside her.

"How is it, Sister Huangquan?"

After finishing, Broly looked at the girl somewhat nervously; it's hard for a weakling to pretend to be an expert, but it's even harder for an expert to pretend to be a weakling; he wasn't sure if his pretense of being a swordsmanship newbie was convincing.

"Not bad, slightly more swordsmanship talent than ordinary people, but compared to big sister me, there's still a big difference."

Jianshan Huangquan said this on the surface, but in her heart she was already very surprised; the boy didn't look like a Kendo beginner at all—forget basic swordsmanship movements, for the advanced swordsmanship technique similar to Swallow Return that she used to probe him, Broly did them all without missing a bit.

"That's good."

Broly felt relieved.

"Next is learning to infuse your own Spiritual Power into the sword, enchanting weapons to thereby achieve the effect of being able to harm Spirit Bodies."

Jianshan Huangquan made up her mind to thoroughly probe the bottom of Broly's talent, so she didn't do any more basic explanations, but directly demonstrated.

Because in this World, ordinary people's Qi isn't that strong, what Broly could feel was that Jianshan Huangquan's Breath faintly covered the bamboo sword in her hand, and was slowly dissipating at a slow speed.

And in this way, it's estimated that it can't improve the toughness of the bamboo sword itself; it's just to let the weapon be able to harm ghost-type Creatures.

"Sister Huangquan, is it really enough to just do this to take a bamboo sword and exorcise?"

Broly infused a wisp of Qi into the bamboo sword and asked, and it's no wonder he asked this way, because given the Spiritual Power intensity in the girl's bamboo sword, it's estimated that even the skin of the ghost-type Creature seen when he first came to This World would be hard to break.

Jianshan Huangquan explained, but was secretly shocked by the boy's talent; this Spirit Infusion technique, he basically learned it at a glance.

Jianshan Huangquan explained, but was secretly shocked by the boy's talent; this Spirit Infusion technique, he basically learned it at a glance.

And the strength and stability of the Spirit Infusion, it seems, are even more powerful than my own; I fear that even in terms of endurance, the boy might be stronger than me.

"Come, Broly, Big Sister will now teach you practical combat."

Broly's talent is too astonishing; Jianshan Huangquan directly gives up the steady, step-by-step teaching method, planning to use swordsmanship sparring to train the boy.

"Ah, can I?"

"Rest assured, Big Sister will adjust the training intensity for you according to your capability."

The girl, holding a bamboo sword, arrives opposite him.

"Are you ready?"

"Mhm."

Broly nods.

"Here I come!"

Jianshan Huangquan steps forward, and the sound of bamboo swords clashing begins to ring out in the dojo.

【Intermediate Swordsmanship level, huh? She probably hasn't exerted herself much, so I'll just spar with her using a Beginner Rank Swordsmanship level close to Intermediate Swordsmanship...】

Broly doesn't know the degree of swordsmanship in this world, so he can only use the Six-Faced World's swordsmanship standards to conduct an evaluation.

And the swordsmanship Jianshan Huangquan is currently displaying, placed in the Six-Faced World, is only at the level of Intermediate Swordsmanship, barely able to sit at the same table as Aisha, who has been learning swordsmanship for two and a half years.
