Chapter 14: The Hope of Going to Sea

The next day, Ian got up early, and after leaving some leaves and weeds for the little phone bug, Ian put on his bears' ears hat and called Zoro for another day of exercise.

Running around the village, correcting the direction of Sauron's path, he finished his run and went to the woods on the hill to begin sword swinging and strength exercises.

When all these exercises were done, Ian found a rope and tied a stone separately and hung it from a branch.

He held the bamboo sword in his right hand, and with his left hand, he pushed the hanging stone forward.

Because of the pendulum principle, the stone quickly swung back in the direction where Ian was, and Ian waited motionlessly, seeing that the stone was about to hit him, he tried to activate a flash of skill.

And then...... With a thud, Ian's face was hit by a stone.

It hurts to death!

Ian covered his face, feeling as if his nose was bleeding, and he felt a kind of sour and numb.

I didn't expect it to fail again, and it was really a problem to grasp the timing of this flash.

That's right, that's what Ian came up with, the way to practice the flash skill, this skill is indeed powerful, but it has a flaw, that is, it is completely passive, and it can only be used at the moment when the attack comes, and it can't be used on its own.

Ian was now short of opponents, so he came up with a way to make the hanging stone crash towards him, simulating an enemy attack.

People have a knee-jerk reaction, and when faced with an attack, the first reaction is actually to dodge, and if Ian wants to overcome the knee-jerk reaction brought about by this fear, he must keep training himself.

Getting up, Ian wiped his nose, and sure enough, he was bleeding.

Zoro had been staring at Ian's movements since just now, not knowing what strange thing he was doing, and at this time, after seeing Ian being hit by a stone and bleeding from his nose, he couldn't help but say next to him: "Brother Ian, why don't you dodge?" Did you become stupid when you put on a hat? ”

Ian was tilting his head to stop the bleeding at this time, and said angrily when he heard the words: "You know a fart, I'm learning sword moves!" ”

"Huh!?" Zoro's eyes lit up: "Sword move!?" ”

"That's right!" Ian said: "Very powerful sword move!" ”

Master Koshiro has never taught them any swordsmanship, whether it is Guina or Ian, or Zoro and other junior disciples in the dojo, what they practice day after day is just basic moves, Master Koshiro said, in fact, all swordsmanship comes from the foundation, and the words are very reasonable, but it is undeniable that such basic practice, after a long time, it will inevitably feel monotonous.

This is also the reason why Sauron's eyes are shining, he thinks that if he can also use sword moves, he may be able to defeat Guina.

"Brother Ian, teach me!" Zoro hurriedly ran forward and looked at Ian with a look of adoration: "I also want to learn sword moves!" ”

"Don't!" Ian shook his head and said, "You ate all my food yesterday!" ”

"Then I'll leave my meal for you today, you teach me!" Sauron shouted.

Ian was in the middle of the head, he hadn't mastered the flashing skills himself, how to teach others, but then he rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to learn?" ”

"Really!" Zoro nodded hurriedly.

"Actually, the sword moves are ......" Ian said seriously: "The sword moves that everyone understands are different, so I can't teach you, but ......"

"But what?" Zoro asked, tilting his head.

"But it's not impossible!" Ian pointed to the bear-eared hat on his head and said, "The way is to wear a hat!" You see, it was only after I put on my hat that I began to learn sword moves. ”

When Zoro heard this, he was dumbfounded.

Ian is a little proud, Zoro, the stupid man with a green algae head, every time he laughs so loudly at his hat, how can he be embarrassed to be a senior brother, now it's okay, I see how you still laugh.

Make up a lofty reason for your behavior, this is the only way to fool the bear child.

However, before Ian finished his complacency, Zoro suddenly popped out in a daze: "I don't want it, this hat looks so stupid!" ”

Poof! Ian spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and was complained about by this stupid Zoro!?

Without even thinking about it, Ian hit him with another headbutt......

He found that beating Sauron had become a habit now......

Ignoring the green algae head fool who was holding his head and screaming, Ian stood up and continued his practice.

For a whole morning, Ian was hit by a stone I don't know how many times, and his whole face was already miserable, and the number of successful flashes during this period was pitiful.

However, he was not without gains.

Practicing a flash is actually exercising the basic chanting cultivation skills, because to launch a flash, you need to consume the chanting, in this process, the proficiency of the chanting cultivation skills has increased a little, not to mention, Ian has gradually felt the power of "nian".

After a night's rest, his energy has returned to the full value of 15 points, and if he doesn't control it, he may run out of thoughts at once.

So he tried to control the output of his thoughts, but he didn't expect it to be really possible, it was completely determined by his will, and it was easier to control.

Through the test, he found that the minimum mental energy value required to launch a flash skill is actually 2 points, and these two mental energy values, one is wrapped around the sword, and the other is attached to his body.

When a flash is successfully launched, due to the blessing of the mind, Ian can reach a higher speed than usual to swing the sword, so as to achieve an instant counterattack, if he is not holding a bamboo sword at this time, but a real sword, then the high-speed swing of the sword will form a touch of sword light, which is the origin of the name of the flash......

Although it can control the output of the mind, it is not easy to perceive the timing of the shot, after all, the stone is the stone, if you change to the real enemy as the opponent, the opponent's attack may be fast and slow, and it will be even more difficult to control the timing of the shot, so Ian must continue to exercise non-stop.

A few flashes of skill activation, quickly consumed Ian's energy value, he had to stop, sighing with some regret, now restricting the number of times he practiced, one is the energy value, the other is the ability to practice, if there can be more energy and energy recovery speed, he can practice for a while longer.

Although Zoro was also exercising himself, he had been watching Ian's movements since just now, and when he saw Ian successfully activate his skills for the first time, the stone in his mouth fell and almost hit his own foot again.

He opened his mouth wide in surprise, he didn't expect Ian to really understand the sword move!

Is it really that powerful to wear a hat? Zoro thought.

But that hat is really stupid! Sauron struggled.

After seeing Ian stop, Zoro asked out loud, "Brother Ian, are you trying to cut that stone?" Looks unlikely! ”

Ian was very tired at this time, and his brain was also aching faintly, he knew that this was the sequelae of the exhaustion of Nian Energy, but it was much better than yesterday, hearing Sauron's question, Ian shook his head and said, "What is it to cut the stone?" There are still people in this world who can cut through steel! ”

"Huh!? Is there such a powerful person here? Zoro said in surprise.

"This world is very big, and there are all kinds of people!" Ian replied to him with a smile, then got up and said, "Let's go, go back to dinner!" ”

On the way back for the two, Ian found that he was all soft and had no strength, so he rode directly on Zoro's neck and asked Zoro to take him back to the dojo, and called it a beautiful name: Practice!

Sauron, this idiot, really believed it! Carrying Ian for a while, he ran back to the dojo.

The injury on Ian's face, even Gu Yina was startled, and quickly found medicine to bandage Ian, and after the treatment was completed and eaten, Ian couldn't hold on anymore, so he lay on his back in the dojo and fell asleep.

What he didn't know was that for what he said, someone can cut through steel, Zoro even went to Master Koshiro to ask after the meal.

"Master! Master! I heard that there are people in the world who can cut steel, is this true? ”

"Hmmm! Really! Master Koshiro nodded.

Standing up, Master Koshiro took out a piece of paper and said, "You take a good look at this paper......

Immediately, he threw the paper into the air, and before it fell, he drew his sword and slashed it.

And then...... That piece of paper was intact......

“…… Master, you didn't cut it off at all! Sauron was speechless.

"Listen up to Zoro, there is a swordsman in this world who can cut everything, but he can cut steel! With the same knife! Master Koshiro smiled and said, "The so-called strongest sword is the power to protect what you want to protect and cut off what you want to cut!" To me, a sword that can cut anything is not a sword! ”

"Got it?" Koshiro asked.

"......" Zoro looked at Koshiro stupidly: "Master, I want to be a swordsman who can cut anything!" ”

Master Koshiro had a bead of sweat on his head: "Zoro, did you understand what you just said......

Zoro definitely didn't understand this now, but the words of Ian and Master Koshiro made Zoro have a longing for the outside world for the first time.

"One day, I will definitely be able to go to sea to meet those amazing people, I will definitely be able to!"
