Chapter 155: Xia Ruo's Level and Test
It's a crow, has the lord come to some task?
Looking at the crow that flew in front of him, Scales took out a note on the crow's body, took it down and looked at it, and soon, Lin Long knew why the lord wrote to him.
The content is probably that there is a talented newcomer who wants to be nurtured by himself.
The ghost killing team often recruits some special talents, and those special talents are the capital of the ghost killing team to fight against ghosts.
It's just one more disciple, but in the letter, the lord means that the person who is going to come here will be a little unusual.
Lin Long really wanted to know how the people who came would be unusual.
"Mr. Rinlong, is something wrong?" Tanjiro saw that his master read the letter and didn't speak, so he asked curiously.
"It's good news for you, it's estimated that in a few days, someone will come to practice with you," Lin Long's tone was very flat.
Tanjiro was happy to hear the news, "Really? It's great that someone new is coming, and I don't know how many days I'll have to wait. ”
Just before Tanjiro's words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the door, an inexplicable gust of wind.
Accompanied by the wind, there is also the voice of a teenager.
"Hello, is this Mr. Rinlong?"
Xia Ruo saw the door open, slowly walked into the room, looked at the old man with the mask, and said in a respectful tone, "It was the lord who recommended me to come, Mr. Linlong." ”
"You're Xia Ruo?" Rin Long looked at the young man in front of him and asked.
"It's me, it looks like you've received a letter from your lord," Xia Ruo nodded in response.
It's just that after confirming the identity of the person in front of him, Lin Long looked at the crow next to him and noticed that something was abnormal.
The lord's letter said that when he asked the crow to deliver the letter, this guy had not left, that is, he came here faster than the crow.
With this conjecture, Scales Zuo Jinji couldn't help but take a deep breath, and there was no exaggeration in the lord's letter.
It looks like there's really an amazing guy coming.
"What's going on?" Tanjiro didn't understand the situation, but through his nose, he smelled shock on Mr. Rintaki.
"You're coming very quickly, you've just arrived," said Mr. Rintaki as he pointed to the crow beside him.
Xia Ruo also noticed the crow, and probably understood what Mr. Lin Long meant, "Maybe the crow is delayed on the road, but my running speed is a bit fast." ”
At this time, Xia Ruo also saw Tanjiro with scattered hair on the side, and smiled at him.
Tanjiro nodded in response.
……
After eating, the sky had already darkened, and Tanjiro on the side consciously went to the vicinity of the big stone to find a rabbit to practice swordsmanship, although he was a little curious about the person named Xia Ruo, but he still did not forget his mission.
And Xia Ruo was taken to the top of the mountain by Mr. Linlong.
Mr. Lin Long looked at Xia Ruo's face, and his tone did not have the slightest emotion, "Although you were recommended by the lord, but now I haven't officially recognized you, if you want to get my approval, then go down the mountain now, if you can't go down the mountain in an hour, then there is no need to learn from me." ”
For Natsuruo, Mr. Rintaki seems to have raised the bar, and when Tanjiro was put to the test, he was asked to go down the mountain before dawn.
"Okay," there are many traps on this mountain, and Xia Ruo naturally knows that this is a test for himself.
"Let's get started."
After saying this, Mr. Rintaki disappeared into the fog.
At night, the top of the mountain is not only dark, but also has a layer of fog, which makes it difficult for people to distinguish the direction, and there are countless traps in it, if it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that it will die under various traps in less than ten minutes.
Xia Ruo took a deep breath and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain with a gust of wind.
During this period, Xia Ruo also touched a lot of traps, but he could dodge them unscathed, and when he encountered something that could not be avoided, he would also use the wooden knife in his hand to block it, but Xia Ruo did not use the power of reality.
His physical fitness has reached lv3, and he has measured his strength, and at full strength, it is about eight times that of a normal adult male, not only strength, but also the perception of the outside world, vision, learning ability, and various physical qualities, all of which have increased exponentially.
Coupled with the swordsmanship inherited before, it was just a simple trap on the mountain, which was not a threat to Xia Ruo.
Along the way, no matter what kind of trap it is, Xia Ruo can walk on the ground.
When Xia Ruo went down the mountain through the trap, Lin Long followed Xia Ruo all the time, paying attention to Xia Ruo's every move, after all, he was a person valued by the lord, and Lin Long himself was also very interested in Xia Ruo.
However, the more he looked, the more surprised Rinlong became.
"The perception is very good, I can immediately perceive danger, my five senses are very sensitive, and although I don't have the aspect to spit out like Tanjiro's sense of smell, my body can still respond with my senses, and my physical fitness is ......."
He has a lot of experience, and he can see from some small details and movements of Xia Ruo, although Xia Ruo's figure is not very burly, but there is a strong body and strong explosiveness hidden under his clothes.
Far beyond the physical fitness of ordinary people.
Even Tanjiro has been practicing here for two years, and his physical fitness is still not comparable to that of this young man, and there is a big gap.
People are really angry with people than people.
Tanjiro was thin like a chick when he came, and now even if he has been cultivated by himself for so long, he is still not as good as the person in front of him.
It can't be said that Tanjiro's qualifications are not good, it can only be said that the qualifications of the young man in front of him are too outrageous, and the perception of geniuses and mortals is very different.
This teenager is a naturally good embryo that could turn into a ghost's nightmare if polished out.
Rin Taki's mood was a little faintly excited.
After that, in less than an hour, Xia Ruo successfully reached the bottom of the mountain, and the clothes on his body were not messy, and his breathing was very even.
"Mr. Rinlong, have I passed the test?" Xia Ruo asked naturally.
Lin Long looked at Xia Ruo's face and nodded, "Yes, next, I will teach you swordsmanship and breathing techniques." ”
Tanjiro had been practicing the trap step for a long time, but Natsuruo obviously didn't need to waste time on it.
"I heard that the lord said that you have learned swordsmanship before, now you can attack me, let me take a look at your current level first," Lin Long said to Xia Ruo, and at the same time, he also produced a wooden knife.
"Yes."
Hearing that he could fight with Lin Long, Xia Ruo's eyes lit up, and he also wanted to see what kind of gap there was between himself and Zhu, so he also took off the wooden knife he hung on his waist.
"Let's do it."
"Okay."
After that, Xia Ruo launched an attack on Lin Long.
Xia Ruo's swordsmanship was not practiced by himself, but came from the inheritance of a swordsman during the Warring States Period, and it has always been very useful for Xia Ruo, but in front of Lin Long, it is a little insufficient.
After all, almost all of the pillars in Demon Slayer are true swordsmanship masters.
Xia Ruo's speed and movements were fast, but the sword attack couldn't even touch the corners of Lin Ruo's clothes, and as soon as Lin Long made a move, just a sword flashed, and his wooden sword clicked four times on Xia Ruo's body.
The difference in swordsmanship between the two sides is very different, which is also expected by Xia Ruo, after all, the person in front of him was also the pillar-level combat power of the ghost killing team before.
After looking at Xia Ruo's swordsmanship, Lin Long nodded and shook his head again.
"Your swordsmanship and moves are a bit too old, like the sword style of the Warring States period, but you are very proficient in using it."
Facing Xia Ruo, Lin Long began to talk about the evolution of the ghost killing team's swordsmanship and the history of breathing techniques.
"When the ghost first appeared, the original members of the ghost killing team were the swordsmen of that era, they were fighting with ghosts, and the swordsmanship they used was similar to yours, but for ghosts, the swordsmen of that period were still too weak, and the swordsmanship was not enough, and the humans were slaughtered one-sidedly.
So at that time, there was a genius swordsman who developed the breathing method and taught the breathing method to other swordsmen, and after that, after the swordsmen learned the breathing method, they began to use the breathing method of different attributes, and evolved a lot of powerful sword styles, and slowly had the power to fight with ghosts, which is the sword style used by the members of the ghost killing team today, and what you want to learn in the future is this. ”
Listening to Lin Long's words, Xia Ruo nodded.
He also understood that the person who created the breathing method that Mr. Lin Long said was the strongest combat power of the Demon Slayer Blade, and it was he who created the breath of the sun that gave rise to the multi-attribute breath later.
"Next, I'll give it to you, Breath of Water."
