Chapter 12, attention
Royal Palace of Demacia.
It's a temple of gold.
An official hurried to a secluded study, and when approaching the study, the officer slowed down, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the study.
"Come in."
A majestic voice came from the study, as if with a kind of oppression, which made the official's body tense suddenly.
Because, in the study, it is no one else, but the king of this country - Jiawen III.
In the elegant study, Jiawen III stood at his desk, holding a paintbrush in his hand, and was painting.
He was dressed in a white brocade robe, and he was approaching his twilight years, but he still looked full of energy, and his eyebrows were not angry and arrogant, exuding a powerful kingly demeanor.
The officer knelt on the ground and carefully reported the news.
Jiawen III did not look up, still concentrating on painting, as if he was not interested in the news reported by the official at all, and when the official finished reporting, he waved his hand and let the official leave.
In the entire study, only Jiawen III was left.
He slowly put down his paintbrush, came to the window, put his hands behind his back, looked at the wonderful scenery outside the window, as if he was pondering something, for a long time, he muttered to himself, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Three days later, he will enter the top twenty on the sword list, that kid, is he conceited or confident?"
The palace martial arts arena.
Before he could get closer, Prince Jiawen could hear a piercing whistling sound, which was the sound of an iron sword breaking through the air, a sound that he was extremely familiar withβ
It was Galen wielding his eight-hundred-pound sword again.
"The latest news I got that Jian Bufan is going to hit the top twenty on the sword list in three days, are you interested in taking a look? After all, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles. β
"Not interested."
Galen slammed his terrifying sword to the ground, his muscles bulging like dragons.
Prince Jiawen smiled disapprerovingly: "You may not understand what the twenty sword list means, but I'm very interested, although I don't think he can enter the top twenty of the sword list." β
He looked at the horizon, and the scene of the bloody battle in this palace three years ago came to his mind.
He had witnessed the rise of Jian Bufan, and he had also seen Jian Bufan being driven into the abyss, although he was surprised that Jian Bufan could recover, he didn't think that Jian Bufan would be able to create such a miracle......
The Lack family.
Next to a garden, Laxana frowned slightly.
"You said that the sword family sent an invitation letter for us to witness Jian Bufan's impact on the sword list in three days?"
The maid on the side nodded.
Laxana's brow furrowed even deeper, as if in deep thought, and after a long time, her brow gradually relaxed, and her expression regained its serenity.
"Arrogance."
She slowly spit out two words, her expression calm, but her tone was cold.
The Sword Family, the study of the Sword River.
At this time, Jian He looked at Jian Bufan, his chest rose and fell violently, and he was trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Son, you really shouldn't ...... Ay! β
Jian Bufan was silent and did not defend himself.
"You must know that our Sword Family is not of the same mind, there are many side ties that are worried about the position of the head of the family, and you made such a promise, it is completely the qualification to become the head of the Sword Family!"
Sword River is angry and corrupt.
"Just this afternoon, those side factions went around publicizing this matter, and even sent invitations to many big families, at this time, this matter is already known to everyone, how are you going to end it!"
"If you enter the top 20 on the sword list, you will naturally be able to solve all the problems."
Jian Bufan spoke calmly, with a strong confidence in his tone.
Jianhe looked at his son and was silent for a long time, as if he didn't know what to say for a while.
In the end, he didn't say anything more, his expression was extremely tired, and he waved his hand to let Jian Bufan leave, watching Jian Bufan's figure disappear into the night.
By the candlelight, his gaze gradually became firm, as if he had made some kind of important decision......
Jian Bufan came out of the study and went straight back to his room.
Today, he stole the fatal blow of the skill from Chang Bo, which really shocked him for a while, and he had no hope for the omen of theft, but he regained his confidence.
Slowly close your eyes and think about the details of the critical blow of the skill.
This is a sword skill evolved from the basic sword technique stabbing sword, in short, it is an enhanced version of the stabbing sword, but the power of this stabbing sword is more than twice as strong as that of ordinary stabbing swords, and the accuracy and speed of the stabbing sword have also been greatly improved.
"Start cultivating, you should be able to break through to the second realm today."
Morgana's familiar voice rang in his head.
Jian Bufan sat cross-legged on the bed, and soon came to the rune tower.
As he expected, there was a ball of light in the rune tower at this time, and he reached out to touch it, and in a moment he came to the dojo.
Jian Bufan did not challenge the swordsman, but picked up an iron sword and began to practice the newly acquired skill Fatal Blow.
Call!
As the sword stabbed out, it was as fast as thunder, and the air was cut into two arcs of qi by the sharp iron sword.
This still does not have the power to inject its own essence into the sword, if it is injected with its own essence, the power of this fatal blow will be terrifying.
Jian Bufan withdrew his sword, tried a few more times, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
The skills stolen by the Omen of Theft can be perfectly copied in terms of proficiency and skill comprehension, and there is no need to spend time practicing with a sword at all.
Now, what he has to practice is his previous sword technique, the double-edged sword.
It was one of his stunts three years ago, which evolved from the basic sword technique of swinging the sword, which can greatly enhance the power of the sword.
Of course, breaking through the second realm is also imminent.
In this way, the time seems to be very tight, and the sword is constantly going back and forth between the dojo and the rune tower.
Finally, with three days left in the countdown, Jian Bufan successfully broke through to the second realm, and the proficiency of the skill double-edged sword also recovered ninety percent.
In the dojo, Jian Bufan took a deep breath and adjusted his state.
Compared with the first realm, the second realm has greatly improved its own life essence and physical fitness.
He looked at the swordsman not far away, and he couldn't remember how many times he had challenged, but this time, he was full of confidence, because he was already in the second realm, and there was no essential gap between him and the swordsman.
Jian Bufan held a black sword, and his body was slightly bent, like a tight bow.
In the next moment, he seemed to have turned into an arrow off the string, rushing towards the swordsman at a terrifying speed, and in the blink of an eye, without hesitation, the essence was injected into the sword body, and a sword was swung.
"Boom!"
There was a very crisp sound of iron sword collision in the dojo, and then, this collision sound was almost connected, and in just one breath, the two swords had already clashed more than ten times.
The sword swing speed is still not as fast as the swordsman.
Therefore, he can only take the initiative to launch a rapid offensive, so that the swordsman can only defend passively, but once the swordsman has the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, the extraordinary speed of the sword's swing will not be able to keep up at all.
This is the experience that Jian Bufan has accumulated over a long period of time.
The sword light flickered, and the iron sword contended!
The life essence of Jian Bufan's whole body surged, and he displayed a double-edged sword of sword skills.
In an instant, the power of Jian Bufan's swing sword was terrifyingly enhanced, and even in a few encounters, the swordsman's sword was even slightly offset.
But the swordsman's reaction was too fast, and even if he was hit with a flaw, he could easily dodge it.
Jian Bufan's eyes froze, and when he discovered the flaws of the swordsman, he did not hesitate to use the sword skill to strike a fatal blow!
This time, the fatal blow injected a powerful essence, and a sword stabbed out, as fast as lightning, and the terrifying piercing force distorted the space a little.
However, it still stabbed an empty ......
What's even worse is that because of a sword piercing the air, the inertia makes the sword's extraordinary movements stiffen, revealing a fatal flaw.
In an instant, more than a dozen wounds were cut on Jian Bufan's body.
"Failure."
The swordsman pierced the heart of Jian Bufan with a sword, and his voice did not have the slightest emotion.
A sharp pain came, and then, Jian Bufan only felt that the whole world had become illusory, and a moment later, his figure appeared in the Rune Tower.
Glancing at the countdown, there were still two days left.
Jian Bufan repaired for a while, and then entered the dojo again.
But the result is still the same, and he tried many times, and each time he was found by the swordsman to find a chance to fight back because he didn't hit the flaw accurately.
With one day left in the countdown, Jian Bufan left the Rune Tower.
When I opened my eyes, it was just getting dark outside, and it was very quiet.
Jian Bufan didn't get off the bed, but reviewed the battle with the swordsman in his mind, and he wanted to find the reason for his defeat.
"My judgment of flaws is not precise enough......"
Jian Bufan muttered to himself.
He was right, in fact, every time he fought with the swordsman, the swordsman showed a lot of flaws, but the position of each flaw, Jian Bufan judged a little deviation.
It was this subtle deviation that allowed the swordsman to easily dodge the past and put himself in danger.
That's why he failed.
For a whole day, Jian Bufan was thinking about how to judge the exact flaw.
For this reason, he also went to consult Chang Bo.
"The grasp of flaws is to be accumulated in constant battles."
Uncle Chang pondered, "You have been wasted for three years, and it is normal for your sensitivity to flaws to decline, and I can see this from your sword test. β
The sword is extraordinary, and it seems that he can only enhance his grasp of flaws by constantly challenging the swordsman.
It's just that this will inevitably consume a lot of time for the sword to be extraordinary.
So, that night, Jian Bufan entered the Rune Tower and began to masochistic mode.
Uncle Chang is right, only in continuous actual combat can we improve the grasp of flaws.
After countless failures, Jian Bufan did feel that his improvement was very great, but there was one problem that made him feel a headache-
The strength of that swordsman is slowly getting stronger!
Can it still be like this? Isn't that too high......
Jian Bufan is in a difficult position, if he continues like this, when will he be able to pass this challenge and get the attack speed rune.
Things took a turn for the better the next day.
That afternoon, Jian He once again called Jian Bufan to the study.
Jian Bufan looked at his father, and always felt that his father was weird today, as if he had something on his mind.
"I have something for you."
Jianhe seemed to have finally made up his mind, and took out an iron box from the side, pure black color, the size of a palm, simple but full of texture.
Jian Bufan was puzzled: "What is that?" β
Jian He opened his mouth in a calm tone, and the words he said made Jian Bufan's heart suddenly pound-
"It's a rune, a rune that can easily see through the enemy's flaws, and its name is: Insight into Weaknesses!"
