"Hey, what's wrong? It's only been five minutes? There's only one pinky finger here to attack, and for the sake of fairness, even the 'divine will' has been given to you. ”

The black-haired and red-eyed boy looked down, and his indifferent tone was not so much to say to Roland, who was lying on the ground and unable to move, but to himself.

Carrying a strange black long knife, he said nonchalantly.

"Five minutes...... Another 12 seconds!"

The lobes of his lungs were almost burning, and Roland, who was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, complained as if vomiting blood:

"It's good to remember the time, don't keep rounding up!"

It's a bit too much to almost gamble your life and make 12 seconds of progress after continuous training, just because the other party is troublesome and ignores.

Anyway.

"You've even used the 'shrinking ground'!!"

"Are you mistaken about something, that kind of Cheng dù can also be called 縮地?"

The black-haired boy smiled bitterly, and the long knife on his shoulder pointed diagonally at the ground.

"Well...... If you insist on saying that it is a shrinkage, you can't say wrong, but it is at most a shrinkage of the first stage. Really, or completely, it is so. ”

Re-illustrated.

The time is 7 years ago.

The location is Alfheim, a sword training ground for the Archons.

In the square space, the floor, walls, and ceiling are full of sunken footprints and swords.

"Now, Roland, Salome is strong, but that Britannian is not a soft-footed shrimp. Isn't it a little ...... you say that?"

"Gloria, what do you think is the most trustworthy thing in the battle?"

Roland stared at the scene in the confrontation, his face solemn.

"Hmm...... It should be a stable state of mind, an abundant body, and skillful skills, right?"

Without a calm mind, a strong body cannot exert its full strength, and conversely, a weak body cannot use the subtle moves drawn in the mind. Finally, after years of honing, the technique and body and mind are balanced. Get the best results.

Mental and physical strength. The honing of skills - this is the foundation of "martial arts".

"But if someone can complete their cultivation and become the top master just by looking and thinking, can common sense still be applied to this kind of person?"

Words, movements, images, sounds – whether live or paraphrased, all it takes is a glance. Gain instant insight into its principles and weaknesses. According to your own physical condition. Summarize the surrounding environmental parameters, analyze the architecture and find the most adaptable application method to yourself, and then realize it physically. ...... the opponent's moves as they are It will be returned after improvement and strengthening. What ordinary people have cultivated by relying on the accumulation of physical bodies and experience can be realized in the form of optimal efficiency through the work of the mind in an instant.

Outside of common sense, it can only be said to be utopian.

But even if it's just a fantasy, it's still wonderful and terrifying.

"If there was such a thing, it would have been famous all over the world a long time ago...... Wait, you don't know ......."

Gloria's expression stiffened, and her ruddy blood began to fade to a miserable white.

In front of him, isn't there a guy whose strength can be called a foul cheat, but until today's competition, no one has ever heard of his name?

"That guy...... Salome said, and I witnessed it with my own eyes—just by watching the images of other people's fights, I improved my swordsmanship, horsemanship, archery, stick skills, and boxing skills. I flipped through the book casually and created a zào out of the 'shrinking ground', and after 5 minutes, it was strengthened and improved to create a 'complete shrinking ground'. ”

Roland's hands were clasped together, and Gloria couldn't say anything.

The usual relaxed atmosphere and the joy of having a strong teammate all dissipated in the face of the amazing intelligence, and an unbearable anxiety wrapped around Roland.

At that time, there was still some part of the original words that Gloria was not told.

- Wielding a sword or something, it's just an inefficient means.

- Rather than wielding a long knife and breaking into an army of thousands and bloodbathing the enemy's ranks. It is much more efficient to shoot out the uncontrolled, unrestricted form interference cluster directly, so that the earth's axis can be deflected by a few degrees.

The black-haired adoptive father said this with the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and Roland knew from the bottom of his heart that it was not a joke.

"Ahh

Between the two of them in the confrontation, a very cute voice sounded.

Small, short, reminiscent of cats and the like, full of "cute" atmosphere of small sneezes.

"Ahhh ”

Salome apologized gently, and Lance Lady replied lightly, "It's nothing."

Under the strong wind blowing at an altitude of 300 meters, it is normal to sneeze, but if you suddenly come to such a confrontation, it is very likely that the other party will take advantage of it. Didn't seize this opportunity and win in one breath - should I say that Lance Radide, who is a knight of knights, thoroughly implements the spirit of chivalry, and disdains despicable deeds?

The standard answer is yes, but there is no chance at all, and I am afraid that it is more critical.

When he sneezes, his stance does not change in the slightest, and he is in a state of attacking at any time, mistakenly thinking that if he rushes over with joy and seizes the golden opportunity, he will be chopped into meat sauce in the blink of an eye.

Through the feeling of observing and fighting, Lance Lady was already very clear that the person in front of her was so careless, full of stratagems and traps, and if he didn't pay attention, he would die without a place to be buried.

"Having said that, it's really amazing, to be able to fight with me like this to this kind of Cheng dù, you are the third. ”

For the first time, Salome complimented Lance Rose.

The tone of the condescending voice, as if the battle had only discovered the existence of Lance Lady until this moment, and thought it was very interesting.

"Exercising to this point at this age, uh-huh, it's really a very powerful talent. But even more powerful than that genius is Lance-chan, the perseverance you have put in so far and the hard work that continues to this day. ”

“......”

"It's impossible to become a master with talent alone, in addition to the chance factor of chance, it is more important - to bet on the life so far and even in the future. Constantly urging myself in my ears, forcing myself to become stronger, day after day, year after year, honing myself to the shining and powerful I am today. Honestly, I think it should be very beautiful and breathtaking. ”

"You...... What do you want to say?"

I couldn't understand what Salome was saying, but my intuition told her that something was going on in the witch.

"It's really beautiful, it's very dazzling, but the more beautiful things are, the more fragile they are. ”

Salome smiled happily, and raised the long knife slightly in her right hand—

"What......"

She heard a loud bang behind her and turned around, and was stunned by what she saw.

In the distance, the Seine River is taking on a different landscape.

It was one of the most famous miracles in religious scriptures in another world, unbeknownst to her.

When the saint who led his people to flee from Egypt led the Red Sea on crutches, and pursued the enemy army from afar to a distance of only one step, the miracle of God's appearance—

The Seine, hundreds of meters away, separates along a straight horizontal line, and the snow-white waves crash into the walking path along the river, and the people caught off guard are swept away and washed down, revealing the silt, aquatic plants, fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river.

Just one cut......!!

As soon as she understood the cause of the phenomenon, Lance Rose's vision changed, the distance between the sky and herself was widening, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and Salome was rising upwards.

No, she's falling!!

The staggered stone pillars were finally captured by gravity, and standing on the edge of the smooth incision, Salome looked at Lance Lotte as she accelerated her fall, her face slightly distorted.

It was an evil smile that made people's eyes darken. (To be continued......)
