Chapter 13: The Village of Boshka

"Drink!"

Iwachi pulled out the sword at his waist, and an aqua blue light effect appeared. With a single slash, he split a small crack in the stone wall in front of him.

But that's not all there is to this kind of swordsmanship, as he continued to slash, Iwachi's sword speed became faster and faster, until he was finally able to strike nearly ten slashes in a single breath.

"How. ”

He asked Ranqi, who was sitting watching him.

"It's very powerful, can I learn such swordsmanship?"

A golden flower appeared in Dye Qi's eyes.

"If you follow my instructions, you can learn. ”

"The errands before that..."

"It's a workout for your fitness. ”

Although this is true, Dye Qi still clearly remembers the other party's expression when he went back the next day to meet Ailan. Embarrassment and ridicule.

"But I didn't expect that you usually exercise well on your own. ”

Yan Qi looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.

"The speed, the reflexes, the explosiveness are already very good in terms of self-learning. ”

He suddenly shot the flask at Dyeqi, who immediately reacted and took the flying stopper.

"What are you doing..."

Dye Qi's hand was beaten by the wooden stopper.

"Take this one. ”

Iwachi threw him a yellowed book, which looked a little old.

Dye Qi opened the book, and it was printed with the words that their empire now used. Unlike the only book of St. Mollet's Stream, that book uses ancient scripts.

But he had only glanced at Manro when he was studying.

"I wrote this book myself. ”

Yan Qi said.

"[Tassaraya-ryu], my own swordsmanship. ”

Is the self-created swordsmanship already able to reach the threshold of high-level swordsmanship, Dye Qi thought. He knew that those swordsmanship that could use psionic energy were all called high-level swordsmanship in the Empire.

That kind of swordsmanship was something that only nobles and knights were qualified to learn.

But Dye Qi didn't want to consider the issue of identity, in the face of this level of swordsmanship, no swordsman would say that he didn't want to study, if there was, then this person must not be a swordsman.

Like a hungry wolf, Dye Qi greedily absorbed the knowledge and skills in the book, and Yan Qi on the side looked at him with a smile. It seems that he is not looking at the wrong person, he thought.

When Dye Qi looked up again and was about to relax, he found that it was already dusk. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have read a book for a day, and he hadn't even eaten lunch.

"Okay?"

At this time, Yan Qiduan came over with a bowl of hot porridge. Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas in the porridge, and the ingredients are far less fresh than those of the Xia Er's family, it is a must for the current Dye Qi.

After taking the wooden bowl, Dye Qi swallowed the porridge inside. Although he did not do heavy physical work today, mental work also consumed a lot of physical strength.

But now is not the time to rest, Dye Qi took out the iron sword that Manro had given him. It's not the best ones, but it's quite high.

High-level swordsmanship [Tassarayaryu], a swordsmanship that uses psionic energy to accelerate one's own reaction and sword speed. Hardens the blade while increasing the speed to achieve the effect of cutting iron.

The use of psionic energy is self-suggestion that is enough to change the reality of the situation, and theoretically only a conviction enough to change something in a psychic way.

In the Empire, there have been studies on the ability to control psionic powers, which are called "incantations" by mages. This kind of high-intensity psychological suggestion is sometimes used in swordsmanship.

The sword technique that uses the "mantra" is called the Upanishh, and it is also the most difficult and expensive skill in swordsmanship.

Although psionic energy does not exist in an entity, it does consume energy in an entity. In the most layman's terms, the more psionic energy you use, the faster your stamina will be consumed.

Of course, if there are other energy bodies to replace physical strength, it is theoretically possible to achieve infinite release of spiritual energy.

But that's all in the book.

Dye Qi knows that if you read more books and don't fight, it will be on paper.

"Autosuggestion..."

Dye Qi began to think back to the first time he used psionic energy. At the sword fighting conference, he was eager and confident in his victory.

The inner victory is manifested in a psionic way, changing the reality of the situation.

Now, he firmly believes in the power of this kind of swordsmanship, and in this world, as long as he believes enough, he can obtain the same amount of power.

The sword began to slowly gather an aqua blue light effect, making the original gray blade clear. Dye Qi could feel the change in the long sword in his hand.

It becomes lighter and sharper.

"Hah!"

He slashed his sword in both hands and slammed it forward. An aqua-blue half-moon arc of psionic energy flew out of his blade, slashing through all the weeds in its path.

The spun sword turned, and the sword skills launched a second attack, a bottom-up pick, but the speed was already much faster than his previous limit.

The power of the speed specialization swordsmanship [Tasaraya Stream] was felt by Dye Qi.

"What a malleable talent. ”

Yan Qi on the side looked at him with a look of digging a treasure.

He had traveled to almost every town and village in the empire, and had met many children who had been awarded the title of "genius", but even they could not comprehend the meaning of those high-level swordsmanship in a short period of time.

Dye Qi did it.

"Is it due to an inhuman awakening?"

Iwachi knew that the artificial "psionic awakening" was achieved by instilling "spells" into the brain to achieve the effect of suggestion, so as to save the strong suggestion required for awakening.

This is also a technology that has been researched by human beings over the years, so that psionic energy is no longer the preserve of a small number of people.

The free-awakening psionic energy is more complex. The first is the amount of suggestion needed at the time of awakening, and the second is the depth of the impression that the suggestion is in the brain.

Artificial awakening is like carving impressions into the brain, and it can give the user great power at the very beginning. But it has a boundary, that is, the perception of the user.

Natural awakening does not have this problem, it grows infinitely, and even if the user's belief in something is illusory, it can still be changed with psionic energy.

It's just that natural growth will be surprisingly slow.

"It's so strong!"

Dye Qi turned his head and said excitedly to Yan Qi.

"It's good that you understand. ”

Iwachi nodded.

Retracting the long sword, Dye Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but his spirit became more and more full, as if his curiosity for knowledge had been satisfied.

"Can I go to the kendo hall in the village and practice?"

Dye Qi turned his head and asked.

"If you want to go, you can go. ”

Iwachi didn't stop him.

"But remember to come back early. ”

"Got it. ”

Dye Qi ran quickly towards the village with his sword.

The kendo hall in Boshka Village is open around the clock, and everyone is allowed to enter freely even when it gets dark. This is one of the favors of Lord Shenghua to this small village.

There are special weapons and armor in the kendo hall, which are provided free of charge to the villagers. But people who are content with a quiet life don't visit it too much.

When I entered the kendo hall, there was still no one practicing in it as usual. The silence can be heard with even the echo of the casual step of the dye.

There are several scarecrows in the center of the field, but they are all wearing armor. These are dummies that are used to give people striking exercises.

Dye Qi took out his sword and struck it on the armor of the dummy, and ordinary sword strikes could only leave some scratches on those armor.

"Try this. ”

Dye Qi pulled some distance and swung his sword behind him.

The blue light gathered in an instant, and then in a flash, a deep scar appeared on the armor. And Dye Qi had already appeared behind the dummy in an instant.

"It works. ”

He wields the raid skill of the [Tassaraya-ryu] swordsmanship.

The blue light gathered on his sword again, and in an instant, Dye Qi's swing speed became much faster, and he could slash four sword strikes in the time of a normal blow.

Speed Enhancement.

These are the two major skills that Dye Qi has mastered in one day, and although it is not as powerful as Manro's [St. Molit Stream], it is already very good.

"Dye Qi..."

At that moment, an angry voice sounded behind him, and it disgusted him.

"Are you again..."

He looked back and saw none other than Satres.

"It's all because of you that I'm like this. ”

Dye Qi saw that there were many more traces of whipping on Satus's body, and it seemed that he had been severely taught by that guy Asilio after losing the match.

"It's just that the skills are not as good as people. ”

Dye Qi didn't plan to argue with him about anything, he didn't have a good impression of the boy in front of him.

"Fart!"

As if he had been mentioned something, or poked in a sore spot, Satters suddenly went berserk. He grabbed a long sword directly from the ground and stabbed towards the dye.

Dye Qi was no longer what he used to be since he awakened, and Sartres's slow, brainless attacks were not even as dangerous to his imaginary opponent as he was.

Sideways, then the sword was unsheathed. With a speed bonus, the blue light slashed past Satters' neck like a water snake, leaving a small wound there.

"Don't know why you're here though. ”

Dye Qi withdrew his sword.

"But please don't trouble me again. Now you are not my opponent. ”

He didn't look back, he wanted to practice all night, but now he was distracted by this guy. Dye Qi was also afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would not be able to help but kill that guy.

But at all times, murder is a crime.

"Damn!"

Satters knelt in the kendo and shouted loudly, but Dye Qi didn't have any sympathy. He turned his head and glanced at the man indifferently, but he didn't say anything.

"This time, it's completely over. ”

Dye Qi thought silently in his heart.

"It seems that today is not in vain. ”

He lowered his head and walked alone to the cabin in the distance.
