Chapter 211 Wu Mingliu, the prototype of the holy land of swordsmanship
While the outside world was turbulent, considerable changes also occurred within the Lionheart Kingdom.
The most sensational thing is that the name of Hongye Island was changed to "Sword Master Island". At the same time, a kendo hall was built on the east side of the island near the primitive mountain forest.
The venue is somewhat remote, with rows of red maples planted outside, and a sign reading "无明流" hanging on the door. Through the door frame, you can see the spacious and quiet courtyard. In the courtyard, trees and flowers are planted, and goldfish are kept in fish tanks. It is a layout that imitates a courtyard house.
.
In the main room on the north side, on the second floor, is the "Kongjing" tea room.
In a room decorated with natural wood and brown, Wren and Hawkeye sit opposite each other.
There is also a green algae-headed swordsman sitting on the side of the mahogany table. He is Zoro, the combatant of the Straw Hat Pirates.
After Hawkeye withdrew from the Shichibukai and joined the Lion Heart Kingdom, he settled on Sword Master Island (Maple Leaf Island). Roronoa Zoro, his disciple, was taken over soon after.
Ren skillfully brewed the tea. After the water boiled, he gently put a few tea leaves into three blue and white porcelain cups, poured in the boiling hot water, and waited for a while. The refreshing and elegant fragrance of tea filled the tea room.
The teahouse is equipped with a backyard, which is not big, but has its own unique beauty. The early morning light shines through the green branches and vines, making the ground golden. There are no expensive flowers in the courtyard, only orchids, which are green and lovely. The flowers are small, delicate and unobtrusive.
Not noisy, with its own intoxicating fragrance.
Infected by this elegant and quiet atmosphere, Zoro, who was a little impatient at first, calmed down.
Meeting the bloodthirsty swordsman again, he couldn't calm down and had many questions to ask.
Renn picked up the glass teapot, poured a cup of light yellow tea for Hawkeye opposite, and said with a smile:
"Mihawk, have you gained anything lately?"
"Ashamed."
Hawkeye put his index finger and middle finger together and tapped the table three times to show respect. At the same time, he shook his head and said, "Only after I really embarked on the path of the Sword Realm did I deeply realize the difficulty of it.
With the sword as the commander, controlling a space, using the sword to control all things, and even deriving all phenomena... How easy is it to achieve the supreme kendo realm of one sword and one world?
It’s been a month and I still haven’t crossed the minimum threshold, and I can’t even form a basic prototype of the Sword Domain.”
Zoro felt very sad when he heard this.
A few days ago, he arrived at the Sword Saint Island and gained knowledge about the theory and techniques of the "Sword Domain" from his teacher.
Discovering that there is such an unpredictable, profound and supreme swordsmanship in this world, one can imagine the excitement in his heart, just like a hungry man who saw a naked and peerless beauty lying on his bed.
Then, he couldn't wait to start building the sword domain based on theoretical knowledge.
result……
Just don’t mention it.
Hawkeye could at least feel the door and a little bit of it, but he didn't even know where the door was.
Guarding a treasure mountain, but could only stare blankly, it made Zoro extremely depressed, anxious, angry, and anxious.
At this time, neither Hawkeye nor Sauron was in the mood to drink tea. The master and apprentice looked at Lei with eager eyes, hoping that he could give some guidance and tips.
It’s not that they don’t work hard, it’s just too difficult.
If an ordinary swordsman learns the solution to a linear equation of two variables, and a great swordsman learns advanced mathematics, calculus and conic sections, then the field of swordsman jumps directly to using the Great Sieve Method or the Circle Method to prove Goethe's
Bach conjectured...
The difficulty suddenly increased several levels.
Even if they have relevant theoretical knowledge and skills as a reference, many people still can't even touch the door.
Just like printing out Mr. Chen’s paper proving 1 2, many people are still reading the Book of Heaven...
"Mihawk, Zoro, you are a little impatient." Ren picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.
Hawkeye took a deep breath to calm down, frowned slightly and said:
"But during this period, Issei and Yuzuki Shiru used Devil Fruit abilities to successfully build the "Gravity Sword Domain" and the "Dark Sword Domain"... Could it be that they are pure swordsmen who can't move or find it difficult to move the sword?
The path to the realm?”
Under normal circumstances, he would certainly not lose his composure.
But there is no harm without comparison.
Seeing that Yuzhiliu and Yisheng had crossed the threshold of the Sword Realm with the help of their Devil Fruit abilities, he couldn't help but have some psychological fluctuations.
"That's different."
After hearing this, Ren put down his tea cup, shook his head and said, "Gravity can dominate and control all things, and darkness can also swallow and pull all things... At most, they put on a lifebuoy when swimming, but it does not mean that they are good swimmers.
Moreover, if you always rely on a lifebuoy, although it is very convenient to be in the water and you will not drown easily, you will not become a top diver or swimmer."
Hawkeye's eyes lit up and he said: "What do you mean..."
Ren picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and allowed the fragrance and bitterness of the tea to ferment in his taste buds. He smiled calmly and said:
"Mihawk, there is no doubt that you are on the right path.
The experiences accumulated by you, Redfield, Bista, Old Ghost...these pure swordsmen without Devil Fruit abilities are more meaningful and promising.
After all, not every swordsman is so lucky and happens to eat a powerful fruit that is conducive to building a sword domain.
Don’t be impatient, you just need more time and keep trying, and sooner or later you will be able to open up a new path for the world’s swordsmen.”
"Are you trying to comfort us on purpose?" Zoro muttered.
Renn laughed dumbly and said: "How is it possible? This is the fact."
Gravity Fruit, Dark Fruit, Shock Fruit, Floating Fruit, Magnetic Fruit...these fruits are naturally suitable for building fields.
That's why Fujitora and Ame no Shiru can take the first step and gain something.
But that doesn't mean the two of them are better than Hawkeye.
In terms of swordsmanship level and talent in swordsmanship, Hawkeye is definitely the ceiling of this world.
"Dark Sword Field" and "Gravity Sword Field", pseudo-fields that rely on fruit abilities, do not have much development prospects at all. If they are exhausted, Fujitora and Amano Nozomi can touch them in their lifetime, or barely reach 22
class.
Of course, this effect and prospect are also good, at least Fujitora and Ame no Shiru are satisfied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But their two paths are not likely to be promoted or popularized.
Without eating the Fruit of Darkness and the Fruit of Gravity, others will simply not be able to learn and learn from their path.
On the other hand, if Hawkeye, a non-powered person, successfully builds a prototype of a sword realm, it means that someone in the OP world has found a path to a pure swordsman that does not rely on devil fruits.
This not only has broader development prospects, but can also be further promoted and popularized.
The meaning and value of it are far greater than the path that Fujitora and Ame no Shiru can only have fun alone.
"I keep going. If everything goes well, what is the highest level I can achieve in this life?" Hawkeye looked at Lei and asked with bright eyes.
When Zoro heard this, he stared at him intently.
Ren put down the teacup and didn't answer for a while. He touched his chin and thought for a while before saying to Hawkeye:
"I don't want to deceive you. This road is very difficult. To a certain extent, you, including Sauron, are all forerunners and pioneers.
Your achievements in life will not be much higher than Roger's, but thousands of years later, by standing on the shoulders of giants like you, there will be endless great swordsmen surpassing Roger and Kozuki Oden."
According to his deduction, even if he successfully and smoothly embarks on the path to the Sword Realm, Hawkeye will only be able to reach level 22 at most in his life.
Including Sauron, there is also no hope of level 23.
This is the price of localization. The Sword Realm is a completely new path to this world, and it is something very unfamiliar.
It takes time to develop, grow and mature.
Through the exploration, adaptation and development of generations of swordsmen, perhaps hundreds or even a thousand years later, powerful swordsmen of level 24 to 25 will appear in the OP world.
As for the Juggernaut (calculated by the standards of the main world)...
Sorry, it's still just a dream.
Given the size and energy level of the OP world, a blue whale cannot be raised in a small pond.
How can you cultivate immortality without spiritual energy? Do you rely on drinking gasoline and natural gas?
Renn was successfully promoted to Sword Master in the OP world because of the "two-way adaptive transformation mechanism" of the system master.
To put it bluntly, the system can convert oil and natural gas into spiritual energy, ensuring that Ren can cultivate immortality in any world (to ensure the smooth operation of the Demon Slaying Art).
Otherwise, if Ren stays in the OP world for a thousand years, he will reach level 25 if he dies, and he will not be able to become a sword master no matter what.
This is not a question of qualifications or talent, but simply not having the conditions.
"That's it."
Hearing that he had no hope of ever getting a glimpse of the realm of the Sword Master, Hawkeye felt somewhat disappointed.
This is a bit cruel for a man who has dedicated his life to kendo.
However, before Ren could say anything to comfort him, the disappointment on Hawkeye's face disappeared. His eyes became firmer and he said with determination:
"It is a pity that our generation does not have such conditions, but I don't want future swordsmen to have such regrets.
In this case, let us, as the forerunners, pave the way for future generations of swordsmen!"
After saying this, he no longer felt confused or shaken in his heart.
Ren smiled while stroking his palms. He couldn't help but think of the words of Carlo, the first generation sword master in the main world, and said generously: "Gentlemen, there is no shortcut to the sword. The path passed by generations of swordsmen is the path of the sword master!"
Hawkeye smiled.
Zoro's body shook up and he clenched his fists, feeling the blood and passion burning in his heart.
Many questions are no longer questions.
Why can Renne become the Supreme Sword Master?
How did the "Sword Realm", a path that is somewhat incompatible with the swordsmanship system of this world, come about?
Why doesn’t Renn personally deduce and promote the path of the Sword Realm?
Zoro originally had too many doubts, but at this moment, he felt that none of them mattered.
The path passed by swordsmen from generation to generation is the way of the sword master. This answer is enough for him to fight for his whole life.
The three of them began to taste tea. After drinking a pot of tea leisurely, they came to the courtyard downstairs.
"Good morning, Marcel."
As soon as Sauron came to the courtyard, he saw Marcel, the swordsman he had just met, practicing his sword swing in the courtyard, sweating like rain, and working very hard.
"Morning, Zoro."
Marcel stopped swinging the knife, exhaled a few breaths, wiped the sweat that seeped from his eyelashes into his eyes, and responded.
"Continue, do 5,000 vertical chops, complete in one hour, don't be lazy!"
Severe scoldings came from under the tree.
In the corner of the courtyard, there is a banyan tree planted. Its dense branches and leaves block the sun and cast a large shadow. There is a stone table under the tree, with a chess board placed on the table, and the two of them are playing chess.
The one on the left is a middle-aged man.
He is tall and has dark skin. He wears a dark blue shirt with a slit, exposing his strong abdominal muscles, a black cape, white gloves, and two curved black beards on his face.
The appearance has obvious characteristics, and he is none other than the famous great swordsman in the New World - Foil Bista.
"is teacher."
When Marcel heard the words about the foil sword, he didn't dare to be lazy and immediately started practicing swinging the sword again.
After the fight between Lane and Hawkeye ended, Foil, who came to watch the fight, did not return to Sphinx Island, but remained stranded on Juggernaut Island.
During this period of time, he often communicated and exchanged ideas with great swordsmen such as Hawkeye, Yuzhiliu and Yisheng.
After the "Mu Ming Ryu" Kendo Hall was established, Foil Sword simply stayed here and became a teacher at the venue. At the same time, he also began to study the path of the "Sword Domain"...
Marcel became a disciple of Huajian, not just an apprentice, but a closer disciple.
Renn naturally welcomed this with both hands.
Wen Xi, the swordsman Marcel, is one of the earliest veterans of the Lionheart Pirates.
Marcel's talent and qualifications are not as good as Sauron's, but he is also expected to become a great swordsman. It would be great to learn from the foil sword, after all, Renn has no time to teach him.
Sitting opposite the foil, playing chess with him was an old man with gray hair.
He is tall and thin, with an evil smile. His white hair is braided into two braids and hangs on his shoulders. He wears a plum red shirt and blood red trousers, black leather shoes with gold rims on his feet, and a wide blood red trousers on his body.
cloak.
The old man is the Red Earl, Baloric Redfield.
"How dare you get distracted while playing chess with me?"
Just when Bista was reprimanding his apprentice, the Red Earl moved the "car" and ate a "soldier" on the opposite side.
Bang!
Moreover, as his piece fell, all the red chess pieces on the chessboard shot out a wisp of sword energy. They instantly linked together to form a light red sword energy formation, strangling the black chess pieces one by one into powder!
Although Black's chess pieces also burst out with sword energy and linked up to form a miniature formation, they lost the opportunity and still could not escape the end of the entire army being annihilated.
Huajian looked at the black chess pieces on the chessboard that were all broken into sawdust, and said with emotion:
"The sword is still young, Red Earl, I lost this one easily."
Jiang is still very old, and he is worthy of being a great pirate who was as famous as his father and Roger. Although he is old, his arrogant and domineering attitude, wantonness, and free-flowing sword spirit are still so powerful and sharp.
The Red Earl touched his beard and smiled: "Chengrang, you shouldn't be distracted."
Huajian shook his head and said: "It's difficult to win without distraction. In terms of understanding the realm of swords, you are obviously better."
Although the path of the Sword Realm is broad and profound, its initial stage is not too complicated for the great swordsman.
To put it bluntly, it can be said in two words: control.
According to the technique explained by Ren, inject your own invisible power (spiritual power) such as sword intention and domineering power into a flower, a piece of grass, a piece of wood, a grain of sand, a handful of soil and other materials around you, and then use the sword (
The mind (heart) is the commander, and the sword (qi) force is the soldier, controlling the surrounding environment.
This is the sword realm.
As for the subsequent evolution of all things, all phenomena, and even the small world with one sword, there is no need to discuss it for the time being.
Anyway, the primary stage is essentially the differentiation and control of one's own sword energy and sword intention.
The more differentiation there is, the wider the scope of control over the environment. At the same time, it is more difficult and more labor-intensive to control these sword energies.
This is why Fujitora can take shortcuts in his early stages.
Because gravity (gravity) naturally controls everything, it greatly reduces the difficulty of getting started.
As for Hawkeye, Foil, and Red Earl (he didn't take the vampire form this time), they didn't have suitable Devil Fruit to assist them, so they couldn't even create a half-finished sword field.
For the time being, they can only create a miniature sword array on a small area of the chessboard to touch each other.
"Are you two getting used to being here during this time?" Renn walked to the tree and greeted with a smile.
“Very good. It’s very quiet here and suitable for retirement.”
"Aren't you going to conquer the sea again? If you want, you can directly become the general of the kingdom."
"No."
The Red Count glanced at Mr. Lei, shook his head with a smile and said, "I have long been tired of fighting and fighting on the sea. I can see the way of the sword master in my later years and communicate and learn with the new and old swordsmen here every day to relieve my boredom and enjoy myself."
In my later years, I am considered very lucky."
He is very satisfied with this kind of retirement life.
He originally thought that people like him would not be able to enjoy their old age and would not end well.
"That's okay too."
Renn smiled and nodded, and did not force the Red Earl to return to serve the kingdom.
This result is good, at least people stay here. If someone wants to destroy the "nursing home" where he lives, the old man doesn't mind teaching those children the principles of life.
It was true that he had spent a lot of time with the people in the intelligence department to invite the Red Earl, who lived in seclusion in a small fishing village, to visit the Wumingliu Kendo Hall...
After chatting with the Red Earl, Ren was about to ask Bistas if Phinx Island had considered letting the White Group merge into the Lion Heart Kingdom, but someone interrupted without dignity.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, can you demonstrate the real sword realm? I'm tired of waiting."
Beside the water tank in the yard, a sloppy old man with long hair disheveled and smelling of alcohol stood up. He was wearing coarse linen clothes with multiple patches of color due to repairs, and he looked like a rag picker.
But as he stood up, a desolate, majestic and terrifying sword force locked onto Lei!
"Old ghost, don't look for abuse." Bista advised.
Sauron and Marcel looked at each other and backed away silently, wondering how long this private swordsman could last.
The old ghost refused to listen and stared at Mr. Lei with a burning gaze. He picked up an old and chipped sword. The extremely cold sword energy on the sword spread out in all directions, smashing a few fallen leaves into powder and said:
"Come on, let me see the power of the Sword Master!"
