Chapter 60: Swordsmanship: Intermediate
In any case, all the right to interpret belongs to the system, and Roland has no other way than to scold, and the 10 points of pure energy that were eaten are destined to not be recovered.
Although he could earn it back by casually hunting a giant beast, Roland still couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought that he only had 6 points at the beginning.
However, since the matter has come to this, Roland can only temporarily suffer this dark loss and try to calm himself down.
After calming down, Roland began to study the swordsmanship skills that had just been upgraded.
First of all, in terms of knowledge, whether it is the use of swordsmanship, or the perception of other swordsmanship, there has been a lot of growth.
However, the basics have not changed, which means that the things that have been taught to Merlin do not need to be changed, just find time to teach her the next stage of training methods later.
The training method that Roland disliked before that could further improve himself was different from before, although he didn't know the specific changes, but he thought it should be promoted from beginner to intermediate, and the efficiency would be improved.
Of course, even so, Roland didn't think that he would cultivate, after all, for this kind of boring swordsmanship practice, Roland's laziness completely defeated the desire to become stronger, and he couldn't lift his energy at all.
To be honest, he admired Mei Lin a little, and she was able to stick to the boring and tiring "special training" all the time.
However, it seems that this is how every swordsman came over? Whether it's Sauron, Hawkeye, or anyone else, it can't be fruitful without a process.
Back to the topic, and then the power of the swordsmanship, because of the mastery of various skills and the corresponding muscle memory, the speed and strength have also been significantly improved, and the power has become a lot stronger.
Moreover, he can also emit sword qi! Although it is relatively weak, both in width and sharpness, it is far from catching up with those powerful swordsmen in the anime, but the visual experience is excellent.
To sum up, the current Roland has changed from an ordinary swordsman to a top swordsman, and he has made a lot of progress, but there is still a gap that is difficult to cross from the swordsman, at least, Roland found that he was unable to cut the steel after trying.
Although he learned from his memories of Zoro while watching the anime, he tried to feel the breath of all things, but he still didn't feel it at all.
As for the further domineering entanglement and then forming a black knife, this kind of top-level swordsmanship in the pirate world, it is completely untouchable, and it is not a world that the current Roland can reach.
Speaking of which, Roland doesn't seem to have practiced domineering yet, but first, he can't find a way to practice at all, and secondly, he can't use it for the time being, so he is not too anxious.
……
Waji had eaten enough, the injuries on his body were healed, and Roland had also finished studying his skills, and after that, the three of them continued to move forward.
On the way, Merlin looked at Roland's eyes that kept shining, after all, the swordsmanship that Roland used when he was studying skills just now seemed to her to be really very strong, and she desperately longed to have that level of strength.
However, soon she will admire Roland even more, because a strong opponent has appeared again!
This is worthy of what Luffy said about the danger area, the monsters inside are indeed quite powerful, and the second giant beast encountered is the same as the black bear just now, and it is not at the same level as the guy he met before.
Although Waji wanted to continue fighting, after all, the injury was just right, and Roland directly rejected his invitation to fight, choosing to take matters into his own hands.
Moreover, you can just take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the newly upgraded swordsmanship skills.
After all, even if you have knowledge and muscle memory, if you don't practice it yourself, when you really have something to use, you may not be able to exert the power it deserves, and then it will be too late to get used to it.
Roland drew his sword from its sheath and ran straight towards the beast.
Before the upgrade, the sword technique was about as powerful as his water knife, which was able to cut through the harder skin like Waji.
And now, the upgraded swordsmanship is even more powerful, so strong that Roland is a little unaccustomed to it, he accidentally cut off the leg of the giant beast with one sword......
After that, he was not polite and used his "fast sword flow" to his heart's content.
After adding various skills to his body, he handed over the control of his body to muscle memory, and after jumping towards the giant beast with all his strength, his body turned into an afterimage, flashed several times, and returned to the same place again, slowly retracting the knife.
As soon as the knife was sheathed, the giant beast behind him began to bleed profusely, and then fell directly to the ground with a "bang".
Because the process of retracting the knife is also a function of muscle memory, Roland didn't even react a little, this battle ended a little quickly.
Obviously, the knife is still the previous knife, but the feeling of cutting it is completely different, although it is still a little unaccustomed, but Roland does not hate this powerful feeling, it seems that the 1000 points of pure energy are not in vain.
Correspondingly, Roland became more and more interested in the upgrading of other skills.
After that, Roland and the others continued their journey while fighting.
During this period, Waji fought several more times, each time he fought more fiercely, and Roland's healing medicine was also consumed a lot, but compared to the improvement of Waji's strength, these expenses were worth it.
And through these battles, Roland is sure, but when Waji goes crazy, his size will really get bigger! Although it is only a little bit, this increase in size is permanent and will not change back when the battle is over.
As for what kind of Devil Fruit Waji ate, Roland is also becoming more and more interested.
However, compared to Roland and Waji, who fought heartily, Merlin was a little idle.
This place is really as Luffy said, because it is too dangerous, only powerful creatures can survive here, and there is no way to meet an opponent of the level that Merlin can deal with.
However, this situation lasted less than a day, and before it was dark, they encountered a weaker creature again, and they should have already walked to the danger zone.
Looking at Merlin who was fighting with the small beast, Roland pouted, this is too fast, right? In less than a day, he actually walked out of the so-called yes danger zone?
Sure enough, this kind of island in the East China Sea, no matter how dangerous it is, it can't be compared to the island where Luffy has been practicing for two years, the creatures there are really powerful, the kind of powerful that makes you have an appetite just thinking about it.
Although he was a little disappointed, Roland was not a discontented slime, and now there were many corpses of creatures more powerful than Waji stored in his stomach pouch.
For these, Roland didn't plan to convert them directly, so he tried to analyze one first, maybe he could directly upgrade some skills, which was more cost-effective than only getting 80 pure energy.
Of course, if it turns out that they are actually useless, Roland doesn't mind choosing to convert.
