The next day, it was the chief guard who woke up Liu Xianyu, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the chief guard with a serious face looking at Liu Xianyu and said:

[From today onwards, you will follow me to practice swordsmanship, and don't think about leaving here until you have the strength of the second level. 】

[No, wouldn't it take a long time if you advanced for the second time!] 】

Now Liu Xianyu is no longer a rookie, and he already has a certain understanding of the occupational level distinction of the adventurer's union.

His current highest profession is an advanced elemental warrior and a high-level warrior, the elemental warrior was okay when he was tested before, and he almost failed to pass the test when he was a high-level warrior, no matter which of these two professions is far from the second advancement, most of the adventurers of the melee profession are at the age of forty (the average life expectancy of human professionals in this world is about one hundred years old) before they become the second advanced, Because forty years old is the peak of skill and physical strength in the life of a human melee professional, of course, a longevity like the Spirit Race is not counted.

Even Liu Xianyu, who is confident in his talent, does not think that he can do a task that others would take more than a decade to complete in a few months.

[You have learned the skill of sealing the blade, and after mastering that skill, you have met the requirements for promotion in terms of the use of elements, and the next thing is to take the use of swordsmanship to the next level. 】

While talking to the chief guard, he washed up, and changed into light clothes suitable for sports, and then Liu Xianyu followed the chief guard to the outside of the room.

[Hold on to my hands for three minutes with only swordsmanship, that's your next goal.] 】

As he said this, the captain of the guard drew his sword from his waist.

【3 points...... Doesn't sound too difficult? 】

Liu Xianyu pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the two stood opposite each other, he felt that he could at least hold out for a while while defending with all his strength.

[I'm ready.] 】

Liu Xianyu, who said this, had a flower in front of him, and a long sword appeared on his neck.

【！？ 】

didn't move for a moment, there was no time to react, and by the time Liu Xianyu realized it, Urukru's long sword was already on Liu Xianyu's neck.

[One second.] 】

Urukruz withdrew his long sword and distanced himself from Liu Xianyu again.

【Wait a minute! What just happened? Even if I can't see the trajectory of the weapon clearly, I can't even see the movement of a person! 】

Liu Xianyu had an unbelievable expression on his face, if he couldn't see the trajectory of the weapon clearly, it would be forgivable, after all, Liu Xianyu, the man he met before who was wearing a blindfold and following the prince of the East, couldn't see his weapon carefully, but the head of the guard was standing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't even see his movements clearly, so he lost, which is not just explained by his speed.

After listening to Liu Xianyu's words, the chief of the guard frowned and said:

[Saying such things proves that you have not yet understood the relationship between the weapon and the user.] The weapon and the user are inherently one, so how dare you say that you can see the movements of the weapon if you can't even see the trajectory of the weapon? 】

[One more time!] 】

Hearing the words of the chief guard, Liu Xianyu seemed to feel something, but he didn't quite understand it.

This time he stared at the chief of the guard, and finally barely caught the head of the guard's movements with the artistic button that the chief guard was about to shoot, and bent over, just as he was about to continue to capture the movement of his arm, the cold long sword fell on his neck again.

Liu Xianyu said unbelievingly:

[One more time!] 】

swish

[Again! 】

swish

【Again!】 】

The morning was spent in a repetitive second, until the maid brought lunch, and the lesson was finally over.

After a morning of observation, Liu Xianyu roughly understood what the chief of the guard said, every time the chief of the guard shot, not only the weapon, but also the whole body moved, all the actions were carried out at the same time, which is why Liu Xianyu has been defeated in a second.

Normally, according to the basic teaching of swordsmanship he received since he was a child, the legs that are the center of gravity of the body first stand firmly on the center of gravity, followed by the movement of the waist, then the movement of the arms, and finally swing the sword, but the chief of the guard integrates all the movements into one and completes it in an instant, which is a way of fighting that violates common sense, and the slightest mistake in a failed action will cause his entire body to lose balance, and losing balance in a fierce battle means defeat or even death, which can be said to be an anti-human way.

After eating, Liu Xianyu told the head of the guard the results of his observations, and the head of the guard unexpectedly curled the corners of his mouth, but he quickly withdrew his expression.

[That's right, this is the school of swordsmanship that I have created over the past two hundred years through countless improvements, and I call it the sword art of breathing, which means that the victory and defeat are decided between each breath. 】

There was some smugness in the eyes of the chief of the guard.

[But there is no special action in this breath swordsmanship, and the previous starting style is also a standard spirit clan ancient swordsmanship. 】

Liu Xianyu felt that this swordsmanship was just a simple speed, but in fact, the essence was still the ancient swordsmanship of the Spirit Clan on the rotten street.

[Breath swordsmanship is a school of technology, not only the ancient swordsmanship of the spirit clan, as long as the body movements are carefully broken down and any swordsmanship can be used, it can be performed with any swordsmanship, and it is more focused on consciousness than the move swordsmanship. 】

The time of the meal passed quickly, and after the meal, Ulu Cruz did not continue to fight against Liu Xianyu, because his goal had been achieved, and the next thing that wanted to survive this first second in his hand was not infinite practice, but careful analysis of his movements, and he knew where the sword in his hand would fall before he moved.

After the chief guard left in the afternoon, Liu Xianyu took the long sword in his hand and repeated the starting style of the ancient spirit clan's swordsmanship in the courtyard again and again, his movements were very slow, full of hard-armored beasts in the fountain.

(Well, have you finished analyzing the movements of my body?) ）

After repeating for about half an hour, Liu Xianyu stopped what he was doing and said to the system in his mind.

(It's done, not a single muscle is spared.) ）

That's right, the reason why Liu Xianyu uses slow motion is to let the system record his movements, a terrifying video as detailed as an anatomical diagram, Liu Xianyu can clearly see the movement of every muscle and bone in his body, and the half-hour-long Tai Chi in exchange for a perfect and thorough analysis of this action image.

Contrary to what the chief guard imagined, Liu Xianyu did not focus on how to defend, because Liu Xianyu thought that even if the swordsmanship of that speed was tightly defended, it would be difficult to defend it all for three minutes, and he was not good at defensive style.

The weakness of the Breath Sword Technique is that it cannot be interrupted at the moment of the move, although the Breath Sword Technique has an absolute speed advantage in the face of other kinds of swordsmanship or fighting styles, but what if the person who interrupts him is also using the Breath Sword Technique?

[Maybe it will work!] 】

Thinking of this, Liu Xianyu closed his eyes, observed his slow-motion perspective in his mind, and divided every movement of his body, the hands, waist, and footsteps must be divided before they are combined, and first choose which movements can be carried out at the same time, if the movements are wrong, it is impossible to achieve the effect of the chief guard, but he will trip himself because of his uncoordinated body.
