Chapter 74: Fragments of Memories in Soul Ashes
"Anoke Alexander ......"
"Royal Swordsmanship ......"
Looking at the mass of soul ash in front of him, Leo's eyes lit up.
This is the second advanced swordsmanship!
After talking with Wei Chi Shan, a military professional swordsman, he learned about the conditions for a Dingduan swordsman to be promoted to a professional swordsman.
An advanced swordsmanship that has been studied to the level of the fourth sword technique, and two other advanced swordsmanship that have different main directions and have at least the first sword technique.
Although Jin is not promoted to a professional swordsman, it does not mean much to a person like him who does not know if he can survive the next dream world, but a new advanced sword technique can bring him a great leap in combat effectiveness, which greatly increases his survival rate in the dream world.
Without hesitation, Leo picked up the soul ash and held it close to his eyebrows.
A faint feeling of warmth came.
"Dingβ"
The soul ash shone with a white light, then gradually dimmed, flowing into Leo's eyebrows.
Just when Leo thought that this time absorbing soul ashes would be the same as the previous two times, memories flooded into his mind, intertwined and fused with his own memories, suddenly, he felt that the vision in front of him was blurred and distorted.
The discomfort made Leo subconsciously want to blink, but when he closed his eyes and reopened them, he was shocked to find that he was no longer where he was, but in an empty, quaint and rugged training ground.
On the huge training ground made of bluestones, a young man in a loose short shirt and shorts was holding a black iron sword, carrying out the most basic slashing training, and each sword swing brought an unusually dull air hum.
Looking at the young man's face, Leo's eyes shrank.
Because the appearance of the young man is exactly the same as the evil and depraved viscount who died at his hands!
It's just a little immature, and the face is also a normal color, not a sickly cold white.
Subconsciously, Leo wanted to reach out and hold the hilt of the [Chasing Light], but he felt empty.
He lowered his head and saw his slightly illusory body.
What's going on?
Am I, entering the world of soul ashes? A dream within a dream?
My current state is a soul body? Or what?
Before Leo could figure out his situation, a sudden sense of danger in front of him attracted his gaze.
I saw the young version of the evil Viscount, no, it should be said that Viscount Alexander shouted violently, and stepped heavily under his feet, and in an instant, a majestic and unstoppable momentum emerged from him, and the black iron sword in his hand was cut down from top to bottom, and a thick hardwood stake in front of him with hemp rope was wound in half along the middle line.
It looks like a powerful slash, but the details are extremely delicate, except for the precise split of the hardwood stake in two, the tip of the sword does not touch the ground, but maintains a distance of less than a centimeter from it.
This is the perfect control of the attack range.
What a great swordsmanship! What a great swordsman!
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
After the life-and-death battle with the Evil Viscount, Leo reached the mastery level of 168/300 and improved his proficiency by 20 points, and was an undoubted expert.
And because of this, he knew very well how difficult it was to achieve Viscount Alexander's step.
Let him hold the much lighter [Chasing Light] long sword, he is sure to do this step, but if he changes to the heavy black iron greatsword, it will be difficult.
The heavier the weapon, the more demanding it is for the user and the more difficult it is to control the details.
After slashing this sword, Viscount Alexander's eyebrows appeared with joy: "I succeeded, I finally, succeeded!" I used the first sword technique of royal swordsmanship! That's great! Hahaha, hahaha! β
"You're doing a great job, Anoke." The sudden appearance of a broad and majestic voice made Leo startled, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.
Before this voice came out, with his current keen perception, he didn't even notice the slightest sign of someone else's presence here.
I saw a burly man in pale gold ornate sturdy full-body armor standing on the edge of the training ground, because of the direction, Leo could only see the back of his head wearing a helmet, but could not see his face.
The man is more than 2.5 meters tall, compared to Viscount Alexander, who is only about 1.8 meters, like a little giant.
"Elder brother!"
Hearing the man's praise, Viscount Alexander's face became more and more happy, and he stood with his sword in his hand, looking at his elder brother who was walking towards him with reverence in his eyes.
"Anoke, your ability to master royal swordsmanship is indeed beyond my expectations. To be honest, this swordsmanship is not suitable for you, with your foundation, it is more suitable for taking the light route. β
The burly man in armor walked up to Viscount Alexander and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"You must remember that the essence of royal swordsmanship lies in the belief that the user has fearlessness in his heart, and the deeper he studies, the more so. Once this belief is lost, royal swordsmanship will lose its powerful roots and become inferior to ordinary swordsmanship. β
"I see, sir." Viscount Alexander bowed respectfully.
At this moment, Leo, who was standing not far away and watching all this, suddenly felt that the vision in front of him was distorted and blurred again.
With his previous experience, this time he was no longer frightened, but calmly waited for change.
The distorted horizon quickly flattened, and the scene in front of him changed again.
This time, what appeared in front of him was a dimly lit stone house.
He stood in the corner of the stone house, and in front of him, at the round table in the center of the stone house, sat a figure with long golden hair.
It was Viscount Alexander, whose face was much more mature and had faded from his immaturity.
He was dressed in pale silver full-body armor, and his helmet was held around his waist.
Sitting at the round table, looking at the military map on the table, Viscount Alexander was silent for a moment and stood up sharply.
Before he could rush out of the room, a voice as warm as water came from the shadows that could not be illuminated by the light: "Have you really decided?" β
Leo turned his head to look, and because the light was so dim, he could barely see a slender figure sitting there, and the rest could not be seen at all.
"The elder brother is in danger of going to the city, as a member of the Alexander family, I should be optimistic about all this and ensure the safety of the fire."
"The aberration, it's spread over Bourne Farm, it's dangerous there." The warm voice in the darkness came out again, worried.
"Hey......" Viscount Alexander sneered, "Danger? Where is Gaelde safe today? No matter what, even if I become a [contact], I have to protect the fire. β
He stood at the door of the room, pausing slightly: "Flvy, take care of yourself." β
With that, he took a step and walked out of the room completely.
In the dim stone house, a shallow sigh echoed.
