Chapter 34: The Mortal Way Ends Here
"Ian, he's coaching the other party?"
After the two on the stage clashed several times, even Alvin, who was a layman, could see that Ian's unusual behavior was coming. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hmm. Fei'er closed her eyes and nodded faintly.
Alvin, who had received a clear reply, already felt the corners of his mouth twitch: "This idiot. I can't believe that such an idiot could be a master of swordsmanship. ”
"Hmm. Phil nodded approvingly again.
"But that at least means he's won, doesn't it?" Alvin asked the key question.
"Hmm. Fei'er nodded expressionlessly again.
Getting the answer he wanted, the blonde boy straightened his shirt and let out a long breath.
Although he disagrees with his best friend's approach, this does not hide his extraordinary achievements.
Alvin's eyes as he looked at the silver-haired boy on the stage couldn't help but become more complicated.
He thought that Ian was just a sword genius, but he didn't expect the other party to overturn his opinion only one day later.
A 16-year-old swordsman, such a reality is too shocking, and there has never been such a young swordsmanship master in the history of mankind.
Where is this a genius, it is clearly a monster.
Don't mention the feelings of this layman, as an insider, the cadets of the Knight Department who stood here to watch this battle have long lost all their voices.
They stared at the silver-haired teenagers in the room with incredulous eyes, and some of them even showed a faint sense of admiration.
The sword fight on the stage continued, but no one was paying attention to the outcome of the battle.
Because the victory and defeat were already clear when the two exchanged swords for the first time.
It's already pure teaching.
Evan felt that whenever he and the opponent's two swords were fighting, Ian would tease and adjust his sword path slightly, and the sword path adjusted by the opponent was often smoother than the sword path he had traveled before.
His every reminder is extremely incisive and unique, showing his own extraordinary insight in swordsmanship. The other party didn't look like a 16-year-old boy at all, and he looked as if he should be a mature man between 3 and 40 years old.
And in fact. Aven's intuition is actually not wrong, in a sense, plus Ian's mental age in the previous life, he is really 3-40 years old.
How could Ian, who had been poisoned by all kinds of thoughts in his previous life, not have a unique opinion. If it was before he really learned swordsmanship with Fei'er, he would have made people laugh because the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth.
However, after he had achieved a certain degree of swordsmanship, it became easier and easier for him to selectively incorporate all kinds of chaotic opinions and concepts in his previous life, so as to give birth to extraordinary vision.
If he could have the opportunity to become a sword instructor, I am afraid that his teaching level would be far above Fei'er.
......
With a sword swing, Ian, who felt that the time was almost up, ended the sword fight in the same way as the previous fight.
Looking blankly at the wooden sword that flew into the air in his hand, Ai Wen faintly felt a little unfinished.
He fixed his mind and bowed his head slightly to Ian, although the other party was much younger than him, but the master was the teacher.
"Thank you for the advice. ”
"It's nothing. Ian turned his head to the side and touched his nose and said, "Think of it as my apology for questioning your knightly character." ”
"No, you don't have to worry about not going. Evan shook his head and said, "You have given us hope, and we should all thank you." ”
"Hope?" Ian frowned, feeling that there was something deep in his words.
"Yes, hopefully!" Evan nodded solemnly.
"It takes 10 years for a kendo apprentice to become a qualified swordsman. ”
"It takes a longer time for a qualified swordsman to forge his own path to becoming a master swordsman, and he may not even reach that level in his entire life. ”
"And ...... stepping through the Gate of the Sage," he paused, and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that the vast majority of swordsmen may not be able to see a Sword Saint in their lifetime. ”
He closed his eyes silently, then opened them suddenly, and said with reluctance: "But what about the capable!?"
"Most capable people can defeat swordsmen who have been training hard for more than ten years the moment they awaken!"
"Just in front of the middle powerhouse, the sword masters must bow down their bodies!"
"And the sword saints who have spent their lives and gone through many hardships to cross the gate of the saints must bow their arrogant heads in front of some of the high-ranking powerhouses!"
"Not to mention that there is the existence of the strongest above there!"
Saying this, he lowered his head and sighed, "But the path of mortals has come to an end when it reaches the step of the Sword Master. ”
"No one knows if mortals can reach the heights of the strongest, and they have already spent all their lives just to cross that gate. I can't afford to explore the path behind the door......"
There was silence in the room, and everyone knew that what he was saying was an indisputable fact.
For mortals who want to follow in the footsteps of the capable, such a topic seems too depressing and heavy.
Ian can relate to that. Except for Fei'er, there was no one present who knew the strength of the capable better than him.
If he hadn't crossed the portal by chance, he would have been defeated or even killed on the night he faced the Night Cat.
Without the sword intent that could shatter the heart, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to fight with it.
"But today you have given me hope. Evan raised his head and looked at Ian with burning eyes, "Maybe there are really people in this world who can cross that portal when they are still young and explore the world behind it for mortals." ”
"You're overestimating me. Ian shook his head and smiled wryly, knowing that he was a half-ass, a stowaway. And the real Sword Master stood under the stage without saying a word.
"Perhaps, but at least you're standing in front of the door!" said Evan firmly, "Since there has been such a person, then the same genius will appear in us or our juniors." ”
"One day we will regain the glory that was taken away from us by the able, proving that mortals can be above the transcendent. ”
"I don't want to hit you. Ian shook his head and said, "But the truly capable will not give up honing their swordsmanship skills, and it is not that no one among them can step through that door." ”
"Relying on the existence of transcendent power, there is no way to bring out the essence of true mortal swordsmanship!" he retorted, patting his chest, "Only us mortals can. ”
Ian smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth, the stubborn guy clearly immersed in his own worldview.
"Then I wish you success. ”
He shook his head, gave a blessing, and then turned and walked off the stage.
After receiving a promise not to reveal the slightest news of today's sword fight, the three refused each other's send-off and left the swordsmanship field.
As soon as he walked out of the school district of the Knights' Department, Alvin came up and whispered in his ear: "See, these diehards who are immersed in the glory of the past can't see the reality clearly. ”
"I really don't know if it's better to say they're too pessimistic or if it's better to say they're too optimistic. Ian said, rolling his eyes.
He didn't think that mortals really couldn't get to the top, but he didn't think that process would be as easy as Evan said.
Not to mention that those who are capable also have the qualifications to move forward on this road.
It's not uncommon for Juggernauts to cross that gate around the age of 40 in history, but they haven't been able to take a step forward in the remaining decades.
There must be something behind the door that stands in the way of mortals.
Ian touched his chin and thought, and what he didn't know was that the girl behind him had already given the answer.
"Behind the door is a moat that mortals can never cross on their own. Fei'er, who was following behind the two teenagers, looked back in the direction of the knights' department and muttered to herself in a voice that no one could hear.
"This is the end of the path of mortals. ”
