Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sword Soul
"The knife cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul!"
"Listen with your ears, cut with your heart!"
"The sword will not hesitate!"
…………
The old man's voice echoed in his ears, and the subdued words contained the lifelong insights of a certain master who represented the ultimate in swordsmanship.
Rod sat quietly cross-legged on the ground.
The short sword that had just slain his opponent was placed horizontally on his knee, just like the [warrior monks] of the East when they practiced, and Rhodes placed the short sword horizontally in a reverent gesture, and the blood on the dripping sword dripped through the tip of the sword.
Tick!
When the last drop of blood fell to the ground, Rod completely entered a certain state, and if you look closely, you can find that Rod is condensing a certain qi all over his body, which echoes the short sword he swings cross-legged.
- Wave Perception!
This is one of the four most powerful schools of swordsmanship in the East.
He seems to be meditating on the mages, and like the druid listening to the sound of nature, in fact, he is communicating with the sword, and it is rumored that at the end of the fluctuation perception, he can even enter the realm of [human and sword unity] similar to the [Sage Mode].
"Listen with your ears, cut with your heart!" - A certain master of swordsmanship
This moment.
The winds of the Wind Elemental Week stopped around Rod.
The rhythm of the earth echoed in Rod's heart, everything in heaven and earth was far away from him, he seemed to enter some kind of ethereal state, everything was far away from him.
Not far away.
Looking at Rhodes sitting cross-legged on the ground with an expressionless face, this cold assassin lady didn't seem to have a trace of emotional fluctuations, but from her eyes that couldn't see waves, she could still vaguely feel a kind of relief.
At the moment when the man grabbed her ankle.
Scarlet was ready to use something her uncle had left behind to break out, but Rhodes showed up.
I don't know why, I could have easily broken free from the man's scarlet and didn't move.
With an expressionless face, she looked at Rod coldly like that, until she stared at Rod and felt furious in her heart, and even in the end, the man was hacked to death by the angry Rode, and it was estimated that a large part of it was because of the scarlet eyes.
Rhodes is a very rational person, and the greatest trait of a swordsman is that their swords are always so rational. But under Scarlet's unfluctuating eyes, Rod was surprisingly annoyed and angry.
The furious Rhodes didn't even think about the state of his body.
In a fit of rage, he drew his sword, and blood splattered five steps.
Although this is also a school of will of the swordsman, Rhodes is not a swordsman who follows this path.
I don't know why under Scarlet's cold eyes, Rhodes couldn't maintain those peaceful minds, you know, he was once known as "the most rational sword god in China", but he would not face the enemy in a weak state.
Rhodes himself is not clear.
Under Scarlet's eyes, which did not complain or be disappointed, he seemed to have a kind of guilt that welled up from the bottom of his heart, and this guilt instantly turned into a violent rage, and the boiling killing intent filled Rod's chest.
In that moment, Rhodes felt fucking planned and sane.
Sure enough, it is the happiest to draw the sword in anger!
Thinking of Rod's angry appearance of drawing his sword and slashing people, Scarlet herself didn't notice it, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a beautiful arc.
…………
"The sword will not hesitate!"
Remembering the proverb in the East, Rod's chest rose and fell slightly, and soon, he heard, he heard the wind roaring, he heard the earth roaring, he heard the fluctuations that filled the heavens and the earth.
Suddenly opened his eyes.
Rod's blazing eyes revealed an incomparably sharp light, at this moment he was like a peerless sword, the wind was moving, the grass was moving, everything was moving, and everything around Rod was silent.
- Within a stone's reach, the enemy country is exhausted!
This is a transcendent kendo specialty.
The effect is similar to the mage's [Ten Feet of Silence] and various domain spells, but the difference is that [Within Reach, the enemy country] is a description of a certain realm pursued by the Sword Masters, which is similar to the [Unity of Heaven and Man] pursued by the druids and the realm pursued by the warrior monks, and are the ultimate specialties in a certain professional field.
The howling cold wind did not stop.
The strange scene around Rhodes only lasted for a moment, and his current professional level was not enough to support this ultimate specialty of a swordsman, although that kind of specialty was not fully comprehended, but the injuries on Rhodes' body began to recover rapidly.
The moment he opened his eyes.
Rows of data appeared wildly in front of his eyes:
"Experience starts to deplete ......"
"Class levels are starting to rise!"
"Successfully transferred to [Sword Soul], comprehended the professional specialty [Shadow Hand], comprehended the professional specialty [Lightsaber Mastery], comprehended the professional specialty [Fluctuating Sword Intent], and ......"
"Successfully unlocked Class Attribute: Nian Qi!"
"Special Perception Trigger!"
"Comprehend the Expertise [Weapon Mystery], Comprehend the [Ghost Swordsmanship] ......"
"Experience Continues to Consume ......"
"Sword Soul level raised to level 3!"
"Level up to gain +3 Strength, +2 Intelligence, +2 Stamina, +3 Agility, +2 Spirit, +1 Mindfulness, and 1 Free Attribute."
“…………”
Rod's originally weak aura began to gradually recover, his pale face began to become ruddy, and as he advanced to the profession, a wave of power poured out of his body, and it was the power brought by this level increase that pulled his "weak state" back.
And.
With the increase of Rhodes' level, coupled with some specialties brought by the transfer, he successfully unlocked some sword specialty skills that were imprinted in his heart in his previous life. For example, the [Weapon Mystery] is unlocked, and this skill can improve the understanding of various weapons, so that the critical strike rate and accuracy of the weapon are greatly improved.
Skills like [Weapon Mystery], in fact, it doesn't have too high level requirements, but it requires the player's proficiency in weapons to reach a certain level, and after coming to this world, it seems that the attribute panel has also undergone a little mutation, and the proficiency column has been lost in the skill.
And Rhodes himself has experienced so many adventures, his understanding of sword weapons can be said to have reached the level of a grandmaster, and when he advances, this perception automatically triggers the unlocking conditions of many skills.
Slowly stand up.
There was a crackling sound from Rod's tall body, he twisted his neck, and after holding the short sword, the aura stirring on the newly promoted [Sword Soul] body calmed down, like a sharp sword in its sheath.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Xinxin on the side laughed inappropriately, with an innocent smile on her face, her big eyes blinked at Rhodes, looking extremely innocent, and then said with a smile: "Xinxin is hungry!" ”
Rod, who was originally complacent because of the improvement of his strength, heard Xinxin's words, and the corners of his eyes picked unnaturally.
Recalling the fear of being dominated by this phrase on the way back from the hunting mountains, Rod felt the need to change the subject.
"Ahem."
Coughing in embarrassment, Rhodes slowly raised his head, looked into the depths of the Black Rock gathering place with deep eyes, and said with a deep face, "It looks like it's time to solve some things, Sword, you won't hesitate!" ”
