Chapter 339: The Winning Slash

Yagyu Judai hoped Tiandao would inherit his lineage.

If possible, he also hoped to marry his daughter to Tiandao and hand over the kendo hall to him.

He was so outstanding, as if born for kendo.

And yet.

And yet he had gone to play basketball, forming a—what the hell was it called? —Generation of Miracles with a bunch of delinquent boys with colorful hair?

No ambition, wasting talent...

Yagyu Judai was so frustrated he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

He wished he could fly to Tokyo immediately to persuade Tiandao to turn over a new leaf.

But he didn't know how to bring it up.

He hadn't known Tiandao long, having only sparred twice, but he knew this little brat's "I am the best in the world" personality.

One cannot fight an unprepared battle.

He planned to observe carefully before making a decision.

It would be best if someone came out to teach this little brat a lesson, making him realize that playing ball was a waste of time.

A real man should fence!

Thus, the contemporary Sword Saint began watching basketball games, becoming a "fan" of Kirisaki Daiichi.

The previous games were nothing; the opponents were too weak to help Tiandao see reality.

But today, that black-skinned guy from Touou was someone even a layman like him could feel was powerful.

According to his daughter, that black-skinned guy was called Aomine Daiki, who seemed to be a member of the Generation of Miracles and was very famous.

He thought this should be enough to make that silly kid Tiandao realize the truth.

He had even bought a plane ticket to Tokyo, just waiting for Tiandao to lose.

But as the game went on, he found that this seemingly strong black-skinned guy wasn't even a match for Tiandao.

Especially when Tiandao used "Eight," he stood up straight on the spot.

"Father?"

"Eight!"

"What Eight?"

"This move is the slash he created back then to defeat me."

Yagyu Judai fell into memories.

That was Tiandao's second time coming to challenge his dojo.

He still remembered the scene: Tiandao carrying a bamboo sword, wearing his damn sunglasses, kicking open the dojo door, and shouting, "Old man, I've come to take my revenge."

Seeing his damaged door, Yagyu Judai's anger flared, and he vowed to teach this arrogant little brat a lesson.

But what happened next changed Yagyu Judai's view, giving him the urge to snatch Tiandao as his son-in-law.

He had almost been defeated...

"Eight? What is that?"

"It's a mad slash Tiandao created to compensate for his lack of strength because his body hadn't fully developed!"

Yagyu Judai fell into memories.

"He was only eleven then, and his height only reached about here." He gestured to his chest, then continued, "His physical functions hadn't reached their peak, and his swinging strength was far inferior to mine."

"To make up for his physical shortcomings, he created an ultra-high-speed slash that targeted the gap between our bodies, almost knocking the sword from my hand!"

"Really?" His daughter widened her phoenix eyes in disbelief.

Her father was the contemporary Sword Saint, undefeated in two hundred matches, and almost lost to a ten-year-old kid?

"You haven't experienced it, so you won't understand how imaginative his swordsmanship is."

"It's an extremely powerful slash that can truly target the strength of both sides and turn the tide of the battle."

"Targeting the strength of both sides? Then what if he's stronger than the opponent?"

"The opponent will lose without a doubt! No one can dodge his slash, not even me!"

Yagyu Judai said firmly.

This scene was broadcast to the real world through the animation.

The audience even saw some footage of Tiandao going to challenge the dojo back then.

That was footage shown through the perspective of Yagyu Judai's daughter.

Tiandao carried a bamboo sword to the door, kicked the dojo gate away, his arrogance so high that every apprentice in the dojo wanted to hammer him to death.

However, all Yagyu Judai's daughter saw were Tiandao's beautiful eyes and white eyebrows.

At that moment, she felt she had met her Prince Charming!

Now that she saw him again, the dead memories came back to life.

"Is this woman going to be Tiandao's new official partner?"

"She's drawn so beautifully, a bit like Kuro-me."

Shuiping didn't hoard episodes this time but watched every one.

He couldn't handle it.

Ever since the Zone appeared, he couldn't control himself; suddenly, time felt a bit long, like a day felt like a year.

Today, as soon as Kuroko's Basketball updated, he immediately clicked into the live stream to watch with the audience.

Originally, he was shocked speechless by Tiandao's new skill unlock, but upon seeing the new "wife," he immediately felt like he had discovered a new continent.

The production team was very ambiguous; Yagyu Judai's daughter looked very worshipful of Tiandao, as if her heart had been struck the first time she saw him.

"Father? So are we still going to Tokyo?"

"... Cancel it for now, let's not go today, another day, another day!"

Yagyu Judai didn't understand basketball, but he could see that Tiandao didn't seem likely to lose this game.

If Tiandao didn't lose, he would be embarrassed to persuade him to inherit his dojo.

He heard professional basketball was damn profitable, even more than him, the Sword Saint!

On the court.

Harasawa Katsuhiro had no choice but to call another timeout. ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
