Borrowing Katana

Zhang Heng felt that Shimizu Isshin had to be a lot better than the young man before this.

Since he was the captain, he was second only to Sugawara Saemon among the dojo's ranks. He should have been practicing Shigen Shinkai-Ryu for some time now. Of course, who else would be the one to showcase everything that he had learned so far.

In fact, Shimizu Isshin had been following Sugawara Saemon even before he opened the Suzaku Dojo. After practicing Shigen Shinkai-yu for more than ten years, he finally acquired his Menju status. Now, he taught on behalf of Sugawara Saemon at the dojo. Even Sugawara Saemon himself wasn't sure if he could defeat Shimizu Isshin.

Now that he was standing in the face of Zhang Heng, Shimizu looked even more solemn than when facing his master.
