[Your Highness, Lord Urukruz is already waiting for you outside.] 】

It was the beautiful little sister of the spirit clan maid who woke up Liu Xianyu this morning, and looking at the beautiful face of the female sister, Liu Xianyu couldn't help but sigh:

[Sure enough, being woken up by a girl and being woken up by the dead face of the chief of the guard feels different.] 】

After washing, he took the towel handed by the maid and wiped his face, and then pushed open the door of the room refreshedly.

It was the same process as yesterday, with the two of them standing a few steps away with their swords in hand.

Although he studied all day yesterday, Liu Xianyu was not yet able to use the Breath Swordsmanship, so today's competition was still defeated in one second.

After a failure, Liu Xianyu did not ask to continue, but asked the chief of the guard to observe what went wrong with his movements.

[Oh, so you want to fight me instead of defending through the Sword Breathing Technique?] 】

[It's always a defense that sooner or later will show a flaw, not to mention that I'm not good at defensive warfare. 】

Liu Xianyu made his own movements as he spoke, although after many exercises, there would be no such thing as falling to the ground, but the movements were still very strange, and the unstable posture could not be used in battle at all.

Even so, the head of the guard was still extremely surprised after watching it, in just one day, Liu Xianyu had already begun to be able to preliminarily understand the key to the sword technique, to know that it is very difficult to use movements like this to first get rid of the fighting habits and physical reflexes that the user has developed over the years.

In order to get rid of the body's inertial activities and conditioned reflexes at the beginning, it was very difficult for him to even walk, but Liu Xianyu not only took one day to start combining movements, but from the previous battle between the two people, those negative states that had appeared on him did not appear on Liu Xianyu's body at all.

After a little pointer Liu Xianyu, the morning passed unconsciously, after lunch, Liu Xianyu still practiced alone in the afternoon, and in the evening, Casrit brought a special new dish.

In this way, time passed day by day, and one morning half a month later, Liu Xianyu and the chief guard were still holding swords against each other.

The difference is that this time it was Liu Xianyu who made the first move, with unexpected movements and unpredictable speed, the long sword in Liu Xianyu's hand slashed through the air and pointed directly at the chest of the head of the guard.

Perfect swordsmanship, the starting style of the ancient spirit clan's swordsmanship, Liu Xianyu's smile didn't have time to appear, only to see the guard chief take a half step back in the lower half, but he made the same sword action as Liu Xianyu in his hand.

(How could it be!) ）

Looking at the guard chief's anti-human actions, Liu Xianyu had no other thoughts than surprise.

Clang!

The sound of the long sword colliding sounded in the courtyard, and after the long sword in Liu Xianyu's hand was blocked, his wrist suddenly went numb in the next second, and he lost control of the long sword.

[Two seconds.] 】

The head of the guard, who put away his sword, raised his chin and looked at Liu Xianyu.

[The one just now is a foul, is your upper body and lower body controlled separately!] 】

How could anyone make a move to retreat and attack with the lower half of the upper body, and Liu Xianyu couldn't do it in one direction at the same time.

[This is also one of the manifestations of the sword technique, the absolute control of the body, in fact, is the same as the principle of moving forward at the same time. 】

The chief guard who said this picked up the long sword that fell to the ground and threw it at Liu Xianyu, who caught the long sword, and Liu Xianyu, who caught the long sword, was about to do it again, when the Rubik's cube hanging around his neck suddenly flashed.

[Wait a minute......

Liu Xianyu opened the Rubik's Cube and found that it was a message from Jade.

(Captain Saltyfish, we've come to the outer layer of the Emerald Forest, hurry up and pick us up!) ）

[I'm sorry, can the captain of the guard end today's practice for a day?] 】

[It's okay if it's a day.] 】

The chief of the guard, who said this, turned around and left.

Liu Xianyu happily walked out of the courtyard, and under the leadership of two guards, got into a carriage and left the central area where the palace was located.

About half an hour away, Liu Xianyu saw Jade and his party at the entrance of the outer area, Liu Xianyu shouted, and then waved his hand to them.

[Oh, Captain Salted Fish! 】

Jade swaggered in front of him, and after nearly a month of not seeing Jade changed into a dress she hadn't seen before, the pale red short skirt stopped just right at the thigh, and on the white thighs was a set of over-the-knee royal blue stockings (the type for adventurers, not so much stockings as pantyhose. ）

【Tachibana~】

Ignoring the jade, Liu Xianyu bent down to hold Tangerine's armpit and lifted Tangerine up, Tangerine was still wearing light green short sleeves, two small arms were exposed, the lower body was seven minutes long light gray shorts, and the over-the-shoulder orange hair was tied into two small braids and hung down along the shoulders. Liu Xianyu hugged the orange orange and kept rubbing against her little face.

[Ah~ Tachibana, I want to kill you. 】

[Brother Xianyu, long time no see. 】

The two little ears on the top of the orange orange's head jump rhythmically, although there is no expression, but it seems to be in a happy mood.

[I haven't seen Anaki for a long time. 】

Liu Xianyu put down the orange orange and said to Anaqi, who was walking at the back, Anaqi has not changed, she is still dressed when she left, with a red and black knee-length plaid skirt and white stockings, and the upper body is a black half-cut short sleeve with a waist.

[Long time no see, Mr. Hyunwoo.] 】

Anaqi actually greeted Liu Xianyu very normally.

[Ahh 】

Liu Xianyu was ready for Anaqi's sudden transformation, but he didn't expect Anaqi's reaction to be normal.

[I'm ashamed to say that I caused a lot of trouble to Mr. Hyunwoo some time ago, and that's not what I really look like. 】

What do you mean? Not what you really are? 】

[It's a long story......]

[Hey! Why ignore me, say hello to me! 】

Jade moved Liu Xianyu's head from behind and said angrily.

[Oh-jade, you're there too? 】

【Euler! 】

Jade strangled Liu Xianyu's neck from behind, and the two small white rabbits on his chest were pressed against Liu Xianyu's back, and Liu Xianyu escaped from Jade's attack after a little struggle.

[Okay, I won't mess with you, I still want to hear Anaki talk about her. 】

The four of them got into the carriage thanks to Jade's entanglement, and Anaki slowly explained the reason why she suddenly became normal.

[As you know, I am a mystical mage, and we mystical mages cannot directly use the free elements in the air, but have to absorb special magic from the place called the void through meditation and store it in the body. 】

[I know this, is it related to magic? 】

Liu Xianyu asked curiously.

[I don't know why, as long as I use a certain amount of magic extracted from the void, my personality will change into the strange appearance you saw before.] Depending on the amount used, it lasts anywhere from a week to a month. 】

[This is really unheard of...... Could it be that the abilities of the Void also affect the mental state of a person? 】

Liu Xianyu suddenly remembered the staff called Void Chant held by Jade, and it seemed that the staff used for a long time also had the side effect of causing the user's thinking to be confused.

[The void is a mysterious space that cannot be approached by human beings, and almost all mystical mages obtain magic from the void, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we become mystical mages because we have come into contact with the magic of the void. It was a completely unknown world. 】
