[Because you found that Butterfly Ninja has already learned the ten sword moves of the breath of water, although the power is far less than that of the rabbits, but the breathing circuit and the flowing splash cannot be faked.

Looking at the purple-eyed girl dancing with the water in the green mist, you are sincerely happy that she is gradually becoming stronger.

Although the power is not enough, Butterfly Shinobu is finally slowly mastering the power to protect himself.

But at the same time, your heart, which was a little calm, is once again out of control!

"It's too slow! Sure enough, it's still too slow! ”】

[After a regular day, after a full day of wine and food, it is a dreamland.

After all, the five of them can't be crowded together anymore, so the three of you boys packed up an old side house and moved in.

At night, the moon hangs high, and the house smells of mold and moss.

The light laughter and conversation of the two women next door slowly came to an end, and steady breathing sounded in their ears.

The black eyes opened in the cold moonlight, and a faint gold flowed. 】

[The cold light of the blade swept through the crystal sweat flying in the air, and the wanton breath on the tip of the nose condensed in the slightly cold air of the mountain night, whiter than the slowly rising mist.

One move, one style, one board and one eye, one swing and one slash, telling the instinctive thirst of the teenager's heart!

Fast!

Be quick!

Faster!

Hurry up!

The mist obscured the fine moon in the night sky, and also blinded the young man's heart.

Between the shadows of the trees, the scales who were silently watching on the side held their hands behind their backs, listening to the chilling sound of the blade breaking through the air, and it became more and more loud.

"I can't go on like this, Mingfei." 】

[The next day, you opened your eyes tiredly after being carried back to the house again, and you were about to circle the mountain with everyone, but you were told by Teacher Scales that there was a change in training. 】

[Passing through the winding dense forest path, in the mist, the cool rushing water falls into the small pool covered with pebbles.

It was a cliff with a wide waterfall that flowed down 3,000 feet and roared into the air.

Teacher Scales pointed to the large or small gravel under the pond and the bamboo basket next to it, and his soft tone was stern:

"From today onwards, the mountaineering training will be upgraded to an unlimited number of times a day, until you can lift all the gravel in the pool to the top of the mountain."

"Mr. Scale," Rabbit scratched his head, pointing to the boulder in the mirror-like lake.

"This stone thicker than the two of them is going to be carried up?" 】

["Yes, if you are sharper, you will find a way to carry it. ”

The old man with his back who disappeared in the mist replied as if he was ready:

"It's best to finish this training before the summer comes."

】

[Some of you who are puzzled look around at a loss, and finally obediently listen to Mr. Scale's words and carry out the upgraded version of the trial.

The boy stripped off his clothes and dived to scoop up gravel; The girls spread out on the shore and put stones into the baskets.

Then several people climbed the mountain again.

Carrying the heavy gravel on his back, his movements became extremely sluggish.

The mountaineering training, which was originally easy for you, has jumped several levels in difficulty.

It's so hard that in just one day, your feet are grinding out one red blister after another.

Thanks to the medical skills of the butterfly ninja, he was able to concoct herbs that relieve pain and heal wounds.

But the increased training has made some changes in you.

For example, when eating, they drooped their heads weakly, and they no longer had the interest in talking and laughing as usual.

It's like you don't have the strength to practice anymore, and every night when you arrive, you sleep with a few small ones. 】

[Time passed quietly, and you gradually adapted to the new training intensity.

Fish swirling in the pool, sharp gravel and a few boulders at the top of the hill have witnessed your growth.

Just as you were finishing this new training and planning to refine the breathing method and chop the boulder, Mr. Scales approached you.

"The others continue the trial of breathing and chopping boulders, and Xiao Ren can think about his own characteristics during this period, and derive his own breathing method on the basis of water breathing, as for Ming Fei'........"

He paused, pointed to the soaring and bursting waterfall beside him, and looked at you who were a little puzzled:

"Your current situation is more suitable to stay here."

"Feel the water, know the water, and at the same time, acknowledge yourself."

Teacher Scales gently put down such a sentence and said no more.

You look up at the soaring waterfall, and although you don't fully understand what Scale-sensei means, you also have a vague premonition.

This is your trial!

It is also an important node to end stagnation! 】

......

[Breath and Bond: Epiphany under the Spring Waterfall·?? , the main curtain opens,]

Rootless water from the sky falls from the clouds, glides through the broken leaves of the treetops, flows over the jagged brown bark, and gathers between the gravel soils, and is driven by the ingenious topography of nature to turn into a magnificent scene on a cliff.

Boom——!

Boom——!

For several days, Shi Shenfei sat cross-legged on the smooth stone platform in the waterfall, listening to the stirring explosion in his ears.

Bang!

Bang!

Streams of water fell from above, hitting the reddish and vigorous upper body, slightly cool, stirring up water splashes, dyed broken hair, and hung between the eyebrows and lips.

"Feel the water? Know water? ”

After sitting cross-legged for a few days, he slowly opened his eyes, and his distracted eyes under his wet eyelashes reflected the hazy rippling water curtain in front of him.

"Surging and surging! Endless! And endlessly! ”

Shi Xiangfei frowned slightly, and crushed the sweet waterfall water between his lips and scattered it between his teeth.

What else?

There is definitely something that I have subconsciously forgotten.

And that's the key!

"And quiet!"

Teacher Scales appeared not far away at some point, and between jumps, a soft voice sounded beside him.

He looked at Shi Xiangfei, who was a little dazed, and slowly took off his solemn half-tengu mask.

Unexpectedly, but reasonably, it was a gentle and kind face.

"Kid, you're in too much of a hurry."

"Anxious to finish training, anxious to gain strength, Ming Fei, you need to think about it now, when did this situation start?"

Since when?

Shi Shenfei's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help murmuring:

"It's been a very early time."

As early as the year when he was just literate, he knew that his family's real surname "Jiguo" would be hunted down.

Back in the year when I learned the truth about evil spirits in the world.

If you exaggerate, maybe in the previous life?

Later, even the sword-wielding samurai and the burning wisteria flowers that came and went at home every night could not give him a sufficient sense of security.

Thinking about it this way, the eagerness hidden deep in my heart, the anxiety that swells with the acquaintance of grandpa, the butterfly sisters, Yiyong, the rabbit, the real mushroom, the scale teacher, etc., its source seems to be,

"It seems to have started when I started running and exercising as a child."

When the eyes were transparent, there was a little bit of enlightenment.

"Did you find it? Ming Fei. ”

Teacher Scales smiled softly and spoke,

"Sure enough, kid, you know this yourself, but you seem to be a little reluctant to notice it."
