Donk and Kilo sat on the floor, an oversized cardboard box full of twenty-four bottles of spirits. The two of them each took out a bottle, pulled out the stopper and began to drink. Tang Ke felt that there was a majestic mountain sitting across from him, which made him feel awe.

Kilo took a big sip of the spirits, the dragon's whisker-like muscles in his throat moved twice, he put down the wine bottle and replied, "Boy, the ability I defeated you just now is called aura, which is a unique ability for swordsmen. ”

"Aura?" Donk's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Kilo shook the wine to let the aroma fill the air, and then he whispered, "Before I explain this thing, I have to ask you a question. What is sword qi in your heart? ”

Tang Ke pondered for a moment and replied, "Although it is called sword qi, it is actually just a power derived from the body. When the power in the body reaches a certain level, it is able to transform it into various manifestations. ”

"That's right, it's just power. However, there are many ways to use power, and fighters like to unleash all their power to create super destructive power, but this power is uncontrollable. Martial artists' strength tends to be restrained, and their strength is contained in their flesh and skin, so their bodies are stronger. And the power of our swordsmen is to pursue subtle control. After Kilo finished speaking, he opened his other hand, and around his calloused fingers, a few subtle wisps of sword qi emanated, and the sword qi lingered dexterously, as if it had life.

This kind of subtle control is more difficult than opening and closing, at least not at least Tang Ke is far from being able to do it.

"Awesome." There was a burning heat in Donk's eyes, and he felt a sincere desire for this power.

"As the swordsman grows stronger, in addition to the increase in strength, his control over power also increases. The third order is a watershed, the fifth order is a watershed, and the seventh order is a watershed. The sword qi of the third-order swordsman will be extended, the fifth-order swordsman will be able to change the sword qi, and the seventh-order swordsman will be able to control the sword qi smoothly. After the seventh order, the swordsman can radiate his power, which is equivalent to trapping the enemy in it with his own strength. This is also known as aura. ”

In order to make things clearer, Kilo poured a puddle of wine on the ground, dipped his finger in it, and drew a dot to represent the swordsman and a circle to indicate the aura.

Tang Ke immediately understood that the original aura was just a large area of sword qi, but the density was lower, forming a mist.

"The aura is like a prison cell, it can trap enemies inside, right?"

"That's right, that's what it means." Kilo took another sip of wine, the bottle plummeting in half, and he burped, "But the aura is different." Because each person's surname is different, it will indirectly affect their own power and surname. Depending on the strength, the aura created will also be different. ”

As soon as Tang Ke closed his eyes, he recalled how he felt during the battle just now, and described: "Your aura can disrupt my internal qi, and in that state, I can't move at all. ”

The so-called internal qi, that is, the state in which the sword qi exists in the body before it is issued, can be understood as the sword qi in the body.

Kilo stretched out four thick fingers and explained, "There are about four kinds of aura, namely 'Heroic Aura', 'Evil Aura', 'Murderous Aura' and 'Domineering Aura', these four auras have completely different effects. Mine is the aura of pride, which can disrupt the flow of the enemy's internal qi. Of course, Hao's aura is not only effective for swordsmen, but also has a strong impact on forces such as fighting qi and magic power. However, with my catty two, it is ineffective to exert a heroic aura on a top powerhouse like the golden-bearded boss. But against a kid like you, it's definitely a one-hit kill. ”

Tang Ke yearned for the effect of the aura, and immediately asked, "What is the effect of the other three auras?" ”

"I'll tell you after I've drunk this bottle with me." Kilo smiled.

Tang Ke did not hesitate, picked up the wine bottle and drank it directly, wiped his mouth and said, "It's okay now, let's talk about it." ”

"Haha, you kid has a good amount of alcohol." Kilo wanted to make small talk, but he couldn't stand Tang Ke's hungry eyes, so he had to count carefully, "Hao's aura can disrupt the flow of power in the enemy's body. The evil aura can confuse the minds of enemies. The killing aura can make enemies fearful. The domineering aura can make the enemy's heart surge. To put it simply, these are the four effects. ”

Four aura, four effects, respectively represent four peerless swordsmen.

While drinking, Kilo explained the four auras in detail. Depending on the strength of the swordsman, the aura is large or small, and after being released, it will continue to consume physical strength. If both opposing swordsmen have aura, a strong aura can destroy the weak aura. The appearance of the aura is like energy particles, and the colors are different, the hao aura is fiery red, the evil aura is dark purple, the killing aura is dark red, and the domineering aura is pure gold. Because Kilo's surname is Ge Haoshuang, he has a heroic aura. The basic purpose of the aura is to weaken the enemy, which is equivalent to a negative effect. But the only exception is the domineering aura, the effect of the domineering aura is to make the enemy's fighting spirit high, which can increase the enemy's combat effectiveness.

Since the conversation had been going on since the beginning, Donk had never had a chance to peruse Kilo's profile. Tang Ke took the time to take a look at it at this time, and learned that Hao's aura belonged to a special surname, but the system marked that it could not be exchanged, because Tang Ke's class was not enough, and he had no ability to exert his aura at all.

"Speaking of which, there are three kinds of aura that are used to weaken the enemy, but the hegemonic aura is used to enhance the enemy's strength in turn, why is that?" Donk interjected.

"Haha, as I said earlier, the aura will be affected by the swordsman's own surname. In other words, only a true overlord can inspire a domineering aura! In the heart of the hegemon, he wished that the enemy could be stronger, so their aura would instead stimulate the enemy's fighting spirit. As a hegemon, he disdains to weaken the enemy's strength. Kilo showed a dizzying look, "It's a pity that seventh-order swordsmen are too rare. In my life, I have only fought with a swordsman with a domineering aura, and after that fight, I am extremely happy, and I only feel that I have no regrets in this life. ”

"The result?"

"I lost. But it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's important to meet an opponent who is evenly matched. Kilo said disapprehantly.

Tang Ke also asked casually, he could understand the feeling of a hearty battle, but even if it was an ordinary duel, it was only by winning to save face. He didn't dwell on this issue, looked down at his palm, and muttered, "Which kind of aura will my aura be?" Is it a heroic aura? Or is it a murderous aura? Although he was still far from a seventh-order swordsman, he couldn't help but be curious.

"It depends on your boy's surname, you have to be bold enough to have a heroic aura. And you have to reach the seventh order first, this road is not easy to walk, I didn't become a seventh-order swordsman until I was forty-six years old, and the sweat shed for this can literally gather into a river! ”

Tang Ke ignored Kilo's words, and instead asked, "If the aura is related to the surname, then there are thousands of surnames in the world, and there should be more than four kinds of aura, right?" ”

"Having said that, there are only these four common aura, and there have been several alternative auras in history, but there are too few, and the effect is not necessarily stronger than these four. In addition, there are some swordsmen who may not be able to stimulate their aura even if they reach the seventh order. Kilo patted his chest with a smile, "These guys are so unlucky, they finally survived to the seventh order, but they couldn't show any aura." It may also be because they don't have a surname, so the sword qi emitted is also garbage without a surname. ”

"I didn't expect to be a swordsman, and the surname is so important." Tang Ke clenched his hand, and his bones stood out, like an iron pimple, "Forget it when you are a hegemon, I don't have the leisure to give the enemy a boost in strength." But I must get one of the other three aura. ”

"That kind of thing is casual, drinking first is the right thing!" Kilo already had three empty bottles on his side, and now he was attacking the fourth.

Kilo didn't care, but Donk treated his aura as a big thing, and he had a flash of inspiration and an idea. If he reaches the seventh order and breaks through the limit of insufficient strength, I wonder if he can exchange points for aura special surnames? However, he thought about it, if the four auras were sent out at the same time, there would definitely be a conflict, and the feasible surname was not high.

"Lord Admiral, I want to practice with you in the last few days." Donk suddenly brought it up.

"Of course it's no problem, it's all small things that don't matter." Kilo waved his hand.

"This is the last bottle, after drinking, please take care of yourself, I have to go to cultivate." After Tang Ke finished speaking, he drank the remaining wine in his hand.

"You look anxious."

"Because I didn't want to be an uncle until I became a seventh-order swordsman." Donk said bluntly, so angry that Uncle Kilo blew his beard and glared. Tang Ke must not wait until he is in his forties to become a seventh-order swordsman, he has to achieve the goal he pursues in the most splendid youth, which is difficult, but it is worth trying.

In this way, Tang Ke settled in the Hao Slash Sword Dojo, and in the period before setting sail, he practiced hard every day. There is a heavy metal in the kendo hall that is specially used to train arm strength, and it corresponds to different levels, and there are different weight models. Tang Ke chose a third-order metal rod, and every swing of the slash was very difficult. Kilo also recommended an "Iron Body Elixir" to Tang Ke, after taking this potion, the body will lose the feeling of pain and exhaustion, although this is only a deception for the body, but it is very beneficial for cultivation. After Tang overcame the potion, no matter how long he practiced penance, he would not fall down because he couldn't stand it. It's just that after the effect of the drug wears off, Tang Ke has to endure several times the pain before taking the drug.

Tang Ke finally said that sweating like rain, time flies.

The hard work paid off, after Tang Ke fell to the ground countless times, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his body, the heat surged, the whole body flowed, the tired muscles seemed to be moistened by the rain and dew, stretched out again, the exhausted strength was restored, and it was more full and strong than before, full of vitality.

"Ding! After hard work, you have been promoted to the rank of Fourth-Order Sword Fighting Captain! Command +2, Charisma +2, Combat Power +4, Seamanship +3, Marine Knowledge +2, Staminami +2. ”

Donk was overjoyed, if it weren't for the fact that his body was still immersed in change, he would have wanted to jump up and cheer. His promotion this time was completely based on hard work, and he was enhanced in both navigation and swordsmanship, which made the system recognize him as a fourth-order sword fighting captain. This kind of growth is subtle, not overnight, and the achievement of Donk is based on the accumulation of little by little. Although this promotion is relatively simplified, there are no new special surnames and skills, but the special surnames and skills that can be exchanged in the system have been increased, these are skills that only fourth-order sword fighting captains can learn, and they are much stronger than those of third-order.

What's more, with hard work to advance, you have to save a lot of reward points.

The corners of Donk's mouth went up, and the salty sweat slipped in a little, and he panted slightly, "I'm so fucking tired!" ”
