Chapter 1 The Limits of Talent
Is the wind running or chasing?
As the sword danced, a strong wind blew in the dojo. The wind continued to gather with the sword blade, making the originally sharp blade even sharper. The speed that was originally too fast to be seen became...
Be even faster.
The person holding a sword was wearing a light blue swordsman's uniform, and the sword blade stirred up strong winds, causing everyone around him to express envy.
The swordsman holding two swords was wearing a light yellow swordsman's uniform, and his two-sword attack was swift and fierce, as continuous as flowing water, but it was quite methodical.
However, a swordsman with two swords is no match for a swordsman with one sword.
Even though he had two swords to parry, and the person wielding the sword to wave the strong wind only had one sword, he was still overwhelmed and lost control of the wind. He had to use what he was not good at to control the wind with the opponent.
So of course, the swordsman's sword was knocked away.
The victory has been decided.
When the disciples next to the battlefield saw this scene, they all clapped lazily, and the wind swordsman with the sky-high ponytail also gave himself a thumbs up in a very ostentatious manner, accepting the praise from his fellow apprentices.
Only their eldest brother silently rubbed his wrist, silently pulled out the sword that fell on the ground and put it back into its scabbard.
"It's really amazing, Yasuo. It's great to be able to learn the wind-controlling swordsmanship."
Lazily slapping his palms, the person who spoke was not that he was not amazed by the swordsman's sword skills, but that he was used to Yasuo's genius.
He learned the powerful wind-controlling swordsmanship within a few years of joining, and he was the only one who was hailed as the most genius disciple by Elder Suma. In fact, he was also the strongest among them, even their senior brother Yong En, who they all respected
, in front of the other party, it’s just mediocre.
But compared to Yasuo's genius and praising Yasuo, he is actually more curious about another thing now.
He looked at a disciple who joined the dojo at the same time as Yasuo but had never expressed envy, and asked something he had always been curious about.
"To be honest, aren't you envious? Li Ke, I have never seen you envious of Yasuo."
The person he asked was Li Ke, who was wearing a pale gray cloth swordsman uniform and was reading a book. Before, he didn't care much about the relationship between the two strongest swordsmen in the sect.
During the battle, I just looked at the ledger quietly and recorded something.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this senior brother named Kong Ruo would ask such a question. Could he say that as a time traveler, he couldn't learn the magic here at all? Naturally, he couldn't learn this kind of swordsmanship.
Is it because of the skill of writing magic that you won’t be envious and jealous?
But looking at Yasuo, who was about to fly up, and Yongen, who looked calm and didn't seem to care about being defeated, he thought about their almost inevitable outcome in the future, thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Because I know very well that Yasuo is naturally suited to this swordsmanship, because he is like a gust of wind, and nothing can restrain him... And I didn't expect that I could learn wind-controlling swordsmanship from the beginning, so I naturally wouldn't be envious.
Already."
"Hey, that's the wind-controlling swordsmanship. If you can learn it..."
"But chefs have the talents of chefs, warriors have the talents of warriors, and kings have the talents of kings. My talent in wind swordsmanship is indeed not as good as Yasuo's. This is just a fact."
The sword moves with the heart. If the heart is not as casual as the wind and without any restraint or worry, how can it be possible to reach the highest level of wind-controlling swordsmanship?
The purpose of this swordsmanship was determined from the beginning, and it was impossible for someone with my own personality to learn it.
After speaking his true thoughts and picking up his sword, Li Ke stood up from the dojo, preparing to help chop wood, and then packed up the wooden sword used for training before training.
But just as he was leaving, Kong Ruo suddenly spoke to his back.
"But you are also a swordsman, aren't you? Even if you don't learn wind-controlling swordsmanship, don't you envy Yasuo's swordsmanship?"
Li Ke paused for a moment and did not answer the question.
He indeed envied the opponent's unhumanly strong body and powerful swordsmanship. Moreover, it was impossible to say that he did not envy Yasuo's talent at all and expected that he could learn wind-controlling swordsmanship.
But he did not become jealous of Yasuo and let his mind twist.
Because his talent is not as good as Yasuo's, that's a fact.
He is not like Yasuo, who is considered to have outstanding qualifications among the Ionians. As a solid earthling, his physical fitness is not even comparable to that of ordinary Ionians. He is not so much a disciple.
It would be better to say that he is a handyman adopted by Elder Suma, and he has no magical talent at all.
Wind-controlling swordsmanship is actually the magic of controlling wind. Yasuo himself is more of a mage than a swordsman. So how can a time traveler without magic qualifications learn wind-controlling swordsmanship?
It's just a waste of effort.
That's right, Li Ke traveled through time. On the day he got his promotion and salary increase, he was gathering with friends at an Internet cafe. As soon as he sat down on the air-conditioned seat with lemonade, someone else came here, and his body inexplicably changed.
A baby fell in the forest.
Fortunately, he was picked up and brought back to the village by an old woodcutter who had lost all his family members, and he was not fed to the wild beasts here.
It is a pity that the old woodcutter left when he was seven years old. On the day he left, the old woodcutter sent him to the ashram. He looked into his eyes and said that he could no longer bear the thought that he had abandoned his wife because of fear of death.
Because of his son's behavior, he went to the Garden of Forgetfulness, forgot all about it, and then came back to continue living with Li Ke and start a new life.
Li Ke clearly remembered the woodcutter's eyes when he left. It was a kind of regret, sadness, and guilt that he was about to commit a familiar crime again, so when the other party left, he knew that the other party could not change from that thing called forgetfulness.
The place of worry garden is back.
From then on, the woodcutter never came back, and the kind-hearted elder Suma also accepted him as a disciple, and he also began to perform the duties of a disciple and a laborer: maintaining the dojo, collecting firewood, washing clothes and boiling water, and
Something you can do.
But it is a pity that although his physical fitness is much better than when he was on Earth, compared with these Ionians who are born to dance with magic, his physical fitness is too poor.
He had known for a long time that he would never be able to surpass these Ionians who had magical power in their bodies just by relying on his own training. So he wanted to live up to Elder Suma's expectations. First, through constant training,
two……
Save enough money, go to Piltover and buy a Hextech power armor, arm yourself with money, and shape the future with technology.
He has been working on the first one all the time during these nine years, and can be said to be the hardest working group of people.
But the second one…
It has been said that he has been practicing swordsmanship all the time in the past nine years. He has to rely on Elder Suma to eat, sleep and dress himself. When he goes out to work, he is entrusted by the dojo, and the money is given to Elder Suma. Although there are many people every month
Pocket money, but this money is enough to eat well and buy better shoes. If you want to go to sea, it will be a drop in the bucket.
So in simple terms.
poverty.
There is no way, the social structure of Ionia is quite primitive, most areas still use barter, and the rulers of the villages are the village chiefs and elders. Even the laws of different villages are different, and they are completely determined by the villagers.
The chief decided. It is more like a tribe than a village.
Moreover, as an adopted person, Li Ke did not have any private property before he became an adult, and he did not even think about moving around at will.
"If I could do magic, no, it would be great if I was a rich second generation..."
With a self-deprecating laugh, Li Ke put the sword back into its sheath, humming the tune "If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai", and planned to prepare the wooden sword.
But after just a few steps, he felt dizzy and felt like his spirit had passed through a huge whirlpool, and then he lost the ability to control his body.
And in the haze, he seemed to have become the son of a wealthy businessman. As he grew up, he kept asking his father to let him learn swordsmanship.
Under his obsession, his father agreed, and then he learned swordsmanship and the power called Qi, and his days passed peacefully.
