Chapter 139: Endurance Test
Although Zhou Yu did use all his strength for this blow, this effect really shocked him, he never expected that the sword he chose that looked thin and soft would have such great power.
After cutting off the stake in front of him, there was not even a single tree debris left on the sword, and it was very smooth, as if what he had just done did not exist.
Chen Yu also saw it, and immediately ran over with a smile at the scene just now, carefully examining the sword in Zhou Yu's hand.
"Brother Zhou, you're too powerful, aren't you? How did you do it? You cut off such a thick stump at once!"
At this time, the old man who was sitting there in the distance said unhurriedly: "The young man has a little eyesight, so you can choose a good sword, but you will use all your strength in the first item, and there are 107 stakes in the back, what are you going to do?"
There is indeed some truth in what the other party said. This is a protracted battle, not just how ruthless you are or how cool your swordsmanship is.
Chen Yu saw Zhou Yu's results, and immediately went to find a sword, and then prepared to help, but the sword she was looking for was not very good, and her strength was not as great as Zhou Yu's, even if she tried her best to chop down, the stake in front of her did not move at all.
Not only that, but because of the overexertion, the recoil force shook her back two steps and almost fell.
At this time, the old man immediately scolded her angrily: "Yu'er, I tested him, what are you doing there, hurry up and come over to me!"
"I don't!"
Chen Yu is quite willful at the moment, she is just not convinced, why can't she do the same effect as Zhou Yu just now.
She switched to a sword and slashed hard, this time with even more brutal effect. Because the first sword had already used the strength of her whole body just now, this second sword was much worse than the first sword in terms of strength, speed, and accuracy.
Seeing that she was about to be shocked out again, at this moment, the old man finally made a move.
This time it was the first time that Zhou Yu had clearly seen the strength displayed by the old man.
Zhou Yu didn't see how he made his move at all, only that he suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived behind Chen Yu and held her up.
The old man reprimanded Chen Yu with some hatred: "You girl, a few of our old guys are preparing for these tests for you, it's all for your own good, what are you making trouble here? Hurry up and sit over there, stop messing around..."
Chen Yu looked at Zhou Yu with some grievances, and Zhou Yu also smiled at her and nodded, and said, "You just listen to grandpa's words and go over there to rest! ”
"Well..."
How did the old man persuade Chen Yu just now, but now Zhou Yu nodded to her, and she obediently went over there to rest, this gap made the old man frown a little unhappily.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the female university has changed in 18, the female university is not left, the old man, I have hurt this granddaughter in vain..."
"Oh~ Third grandfather, what are you talking about, I don't have it, I'm very obedient, okay? I will always be by your side. ”
"You—" The old man rubbed her little head dotingly.
Zhou Yu was engrossed in thinking about how to cut down all the surrounding wooden stakes as quickly as possible.
In fact, it is indeed as the old man said before. If he uses all his strength in the first blow, then it will become more and more difficult later, there are a total of 108 stakes here, if he wants to cut them all by himself, time is still a small matter, and the most important thing is that his physical strength may not be able to hold it.
The sky was getting darker, and from this vantage point you could see the stars in the sky. And in the corner of the sky, there is a dark green aurora, which is particularly beautiful.
Zhou Yu shook his spirits, carefully pinpointed a fixed point of the stake, and then held a thin sword, slashed violently again, at the moment he slashed, the sword wind flickered, a white light, the light penetrated the stake, and the stake suddenly became two sections.
Again, as before, there was not a single debris left on the sword.
This sword reminded Zhou Yu of a demon knife he had seen in a book. The book describes that after killing someone, the blade of the knife will automatically seep out rainwater and wash away the blood.
Now the thin sword in his hand seems to have the same effect.
He successfully cut off the second stake, and took advantage of this break to ask the old man sitting beside him: "Old man, what is the origin of this sword? I feel that it is not simple, it is not like an ordinary cold weapon, it feels more like a living kind." ”
Hearing this question, the old man smiled with satisfaction: "If you can say this, it means that you are attentive, and it also shows that this sword is very suitable for you." When you're done, I'll tell you where this sword came from. ”
"Good!"
After receiving the old man's promise, Zhou Yu became more confident. One after another, he raised his sword and slashed violently. Each sword is powerful and powerful, and each sword directly cuts off the stake in front of it.
Although it was pitch black and oppressive everywhere, it was windy at night. But Zhou Yu didn't care about these external environmental factors, and now he couldn't feel the cold of the evening breeze at all, because he was already tired and sweating.
For him, the only thing that can make him care more is Chen Yu who is sitting on the side, who will cheer him on from time to time.
Chen Yu's voice is very nice and recognizable. Especially when she speaks to Zhou Yu, she always has a little soft feeling. Even when I finally heard this voice when I was tired, it was like an extra piece of sugar in my heart, sweet.
When it was almost late at night, Zhou Yu couldn't even lift his hand before, but the thin sword in his hand was still as good as before. The sword body is not a little broken, let alone a single chip, which in itself is a strange thing.
But there were still 84 stakes left, and Zhou Yu cut them from the afternoon until late at night, and only 24 were consumed.
But now that he was close to prostration, let alone raising his sword and slashing again, he couldn't even move his hands now.
However, at this time, the old man's attitude towards him has changed drastically, and at the beginning, the old man looked down on him because Zhou Yu had deceived Chen Yu in a joke before.
But now the old man saw in him the sparkle he needed. That's patience and the never-give-up.
The old man whispered in Chen Yu's ear: "Little girl, your friend is really good, at least in the area of endurance and understanding." If you can stay with us for a year or two, you will definitely achieve a lot. ”
"Really!" Chen Yu was very happy when she heard the praise of the third grandfather, as if it was not Zhou Yu who praised her, but herself.
Lao Tzu nodded: "Of course it's true, but it's not early now, I'll take you back to rest, I've always asked someone to clean your room, just waiting for one day when you come back and want to play here for a few days, there is a place to stay." It's not just me, it's the same with your grandfather at other chances. ”
"But Brother Zhou, he..."Chen Yu looked at Zhou Yu with some reluctance.
But he was directly pulled away by the old man, and said: "Don't worry about him, as a man, if you can't bear such a little hardship, why will he take care of you in the future?"
Chen Yu wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't open his mouth.
He waved his hand at Zhou Yu, "Brother Zhou, come on, I believe you will succeed!"
"Well, you go and rest first!" Zhou Yu also smiled at her, although at this time he was almost out of strength to speak. The smile was also quite reluctant, but he still didn't skimp on the short words, a simple smile.
He raised the sword in his hand again, and his eyes were a little dilated, and he couldn't find the crosshairs of the stake in front of him. But he relied on his own sense and swung his sword with all his strength again!
"Ding!"
Another stake, which he had cut in half, a stake thicker than a man's waist. It was cut off in an instant, and it was so terrifying.
Before leaving, the old man also sighed in his heart: This young man has a good heart, and the future is limitless...
