William didn't know what his subordinates were saying. In fact, he didn't think as much as Clow and others thought. After giving guidance to Guina, he continued to wander with Koshiro and talked about the topic of swordsmanship. The reason why William came to Yixin Temple this time was, besides Oliver, the main purpose was because he felt that swordsmanship had reached the edge of breakthrough recently and had touched the swordsman's field that could cut gold and cut iron like mud.

The expertise given to William by Destiny Square is more like raising his potential. [Lightning Reflection] improves his body's reaction ability and coordination, and [First] improves his bones, muscle density, and even his own immune ability.

In addition, William has two specialties closely related to swordsmanship, namely the special expertise [Zen Sword Technique] and the achievement expertise [Blessing to the Heart].

[Zen Sword Technique]: Your sword technique has begun to have Zen principles. When using a sword, you can easily abandon distracting thoughts, concentrate your mind, and use your sword skills highly.

[Fu Zhixin]: With the guidance of famous swordsmen, your understanding of sword theory has deepened, and your swordsmanship pattern has been greatly improved since then, and your learning of swordsmanship skills has been achieved twice the result with half the effort.

William, who has these two expertise, can be said to be a thousand miles in the field of swordsmanship. [Zen Sword Technique] allows him to easily abandon all distracting thoughts during daily training and focus all his energy on swordsmanship, which ensures his "learning efficiency", and [Blessing to the Heart] is equivalent to giving William a "swordsman thinking".

What is the swordsman's thinking? When a person devotes himself to a field and thinks about things related to it all the time, his way of thinking will inevitably be changed. When they first look at things, they are used to explaining and thinking based on the relevant principles of their own field. Over time, they can often understand the same.

For example, a chef William met in his previous life. He has been closely linked to cooking since elementary school and has been intimately linked to cooking for half his life. He also loves this field and can be used to put everything on weekdays with work in the kitchen, using cooking as a metaphor.

William is not much different now. His expertise in [Fu Zhi Min], coupled with his practice in Yixin Temple, usually practicing swords, fighting, and even life, as long as he puts a little edge on the swordsmanship, he will either actively or passively associate swordsmanship with swordsmanship and trigger inspiration.

There are two abilities that William has given to him in a similar way to "instinct". One is that the natural devil fruits basically possess, which can make one's elemental ability, and the other is the ability to increase heat and heat. William nicknamed "boiling water" by him. This should be the "rule" ability corresponding to his steam fruit - making matter vaporize rapidly. The premise of having this ability can make the vapor appear quickly, just like ice solidified by cold.

Ajin heard from the mouse that there was a natural ability consuming frozen fruit in the Navy headquarters. He transformed into ice elements, perhaps similar to William. He was also able to refrigerate and freeze external objects because of the conditions for ice formation.

William didn't know if the guy who was called a monster by the mouse had a bottleneck when lowering the temperature and where was the bottleneck. He only knew that he had encountered a bottleneck soon.

His ability to heat and increase heat comes from some regular force of the devil fruit. The initial upper limit is exactly at the boiling point of water under standard atmospheric pressure, and it is also the temperature of the vapor produced by violent vaporization. This value reaches a delicate balance with his body's initial control ability.

Next, heat it up and increase the temperature, because William's pot of water "boils", the steam will dissipate uncontrollably, and the expanded gas will run around in a very willful manner, and then release the heat that William finally increased.

So much so that he can only keep the steam he controls at about one hundred degrees, and as the gas dissipates, the faster the heat will be lost. If he spreads the steam throughout the temple, let alone whether he can do it now. Even if he can do it, even if he tries hard to heat up and increase the temperature, the temperature of the steam that fills the entire temple is pitifully low.

So although William knows that the boiling point temperature of water alone can change with pressure, the upper limit is not only one hundred degrees, and the high temperature that the steam itself can reach is more than that.

But before finding a better way to prevent himself from "leaking air and dissipating heat", it was difficult for William to continue to make a fuss about the temperature of the fruit. William's vision shifted from temperature to other aspects and tried other application techniques.

For example, when he was facing the enemy in Heijiao Town, he tried to use the power of the volume expansion of the gas, and his strange perception of the expansion of the body when it transformed into water vapor.

Although the wider the range covered by water vapor, the weaker this perception is, it is still an extraordinary experience. After all, when it becomes elemental, it perceives external objects from the perspective of gas.

Koshiro once said that everything has breathing. As long as you can hear the breathing of everything, you can cut off everything and you can cut off everything.

When a private exercise, the fallen leaves followed the inertia and passed through a thin layer of water vapor transformed from William's body, and finally floated and fell to the ground, William's mind suddenly appeared.

At that moment, everything on the leaves - wind, gravity, inertia, its own density... William seemed to have noticed them all. He did hear the "breathing" of the leaves, and knew that if he wanted to reach the state of "cutting anything, but not cutting anything" in Gengshiro's mouth, he had to know how to use the power of the leaves to "breathing" and follow the trend.

Just like Koshiro was dancing a sword under the cherry blossom tree.

At that time, Koshiro accurately grasped all the factors that affected the whereabouts of the cherry blossom petals, and combined with his extremely exquisite sword skills, he used such beautiful and magical sword skills. Every sword he swung under the cherry blossoms was as simple as breathing, and it was natural.

It seems that the lung lobes expand and contract with the influx of air, all of this is naturally like human instinct.

William expressed his insights, and Koshiro seemed a little surprised. He knew that William was talented, but he did not expect that he could touch the edge of this realm so soon.

William and his party lived in Frostmoon Village for three consecutive days. William, Edmund, and Alamis were listening to the class again under the seat of Koshiro, as if they had regained some memories of studying and living in the dojo, while other cadres of the pirate group returned to the ship one after another.

On this day, William was in the courtyard with Edmund, Alamisbys and Koshiro led the students to observe from a distance.

William used one against two, without using the power of the devil fruit, and he would not lose his advantage by using swordsmanship alone. The three of them were all good disciples taught in the dojo, and had experienced actual combat at sea. They had both skills and murderous intentions. When fighting, they seemed to be deadly, with the unique beauty of swordsmanship and a strong murderous intent.

The thrilling part made the students in the dojo who had not experienced many actual combat in the dojo sweating.

William recalled the words Koshiro taught, but he did not just think about using the pure power of swordsmanship, but used more skills of swordsmanship, stabbing, hooks, and changing steps very little, and his attention was all focused on Edmund and Alamis. To be more precise, it was his swords, feeling the "force" put on them, the power of inertia, and the "breathing" of the sword itself.

When the sword technique in this world reached a certain level, it gradually moved closer to the philosophical level, changing from sword technique to sword art, no longer limiting the power of the pure physical body, but emphasizing the cultivation of the swordsman's spiritual and will levels.

Fortunately, [Zen Sword Technique] and [Blessings to the Heart] gave William the talent in this area.

Edmund and Alamis went all out to attack William, but they were blocked by William, as if they could not hide all the actions.

The two of them took a few steps back, took a few breaths, then looked at each other, preparing to attack together again, but they saw William suddenly retract the sword from the scabbard. The two were not careless and thought that William was going to terminate the competition. Instead, they were more vigilant and stopped because William then lowered his upper body, lowered his center of gravity, and leaned his body. This was the most standard Juhe Slashing action.

William kept the movement of Juhezhan and did not move. Seeing this, the alert Edmund and Aramis took the initiative to attack. They knew that William was eating the natural devil fruit, and there was no psychological burden in the competition, and they both tried their best.

Only when Edmund and Alamis took action did William move. His pupils were out of focus and his attention seemed to be not focused on his opponent at all. But in fact, his body and mind were devoted to the sword in the hands of Edmund and Alamis, listening to the sword's breathing.

Snap!

When Edmund and Alamis stepped into William's attack range, William drew his sword suddenly. The sword light of a trained sword suddenly appeared in the courtyard. He touched the sword in Edmund and Alamis' hands, but he kept casting. The two expensive knives were cut off by the sword light like paper!

William closed his eyes and closed his knife, still experiencing the feeling he had just had, while Alamis and Edmund looked at the broken knife in his hand speechlessly.

After a while, Alamis saw William opening his eyes and looking at him with a smile on his face. He raised his broken knife at him in anger: "What are you looking at? Lose money!"
