In the tea room.
The two of them sat opposite each other, sipping tea and drinking wine, feeling very satisfied.
However, just as Lin Mo drank a cup of wine.
The tea room was suddenly filled with sword intent, and a powerful invisible sword aura spread out with Lin Mo at the center, surging in this small area and disappearing in an instant.
Koshiro's originally smiling face froze for a moment because of the sudden appearance of the sword qi that made him feel slightly pressured.
The fingers holding the teacup tightened, and even the way she looked at Lin Mo changed.
Koshiro said in surprise," Your sword technique seemed to have improved just now…"
Although Koshiro did not know what had happened, he was certain that the current Lin Mo was no longer on the same level as the Lin Mo who had competed with Guina, be it in terms of understanding of the sword or mastery of swordsmanship!
This child was indeed a sword genius.
After some thought, Koshiro couldn't help but ask,""Can you tell me who taught you swordsmanship?”
"Self-taught."
"Self-study? In that case, you don't have a sect?”
"Yes."
"How did you train your sword without anyone to guide you?”
"No comment."
Koshiro was not the kind of person who would get to the bottom of things. He immediately smiled and said,"Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask anymore. I have a suggestion. Why don't you stay in the training hall? Not only will you have wine to drink, but I can also teach you sword techniques.”
Actually, when Lin Mo said that he did not have a master, Koshiro was already tempted.
A child as talented as Lin Mo was hard to come by, so he naturally did not want to let him go so easily.
"No thanks." Lin Mo refused." I'm a traveler. I won't stay in the same place for too long.”
"Traveler?" Koshiro was stunned for a moment." With your talent, it would be a waste to only be a traveler. If you are willing to stay, I can teach you everything I have learned in my life. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to finish your apprenticeship in the shortest time possible. At that time, it will not be too late to continue being a traveler.”
"No, I appreciate your kindness." Lin Mo maintained his original attitude and rejected Koshiro the same way he had rejected the red-haired man." I'm not interested in the inheritance of Kendo or becoming a Great Sword Hero that everyone respects. To me, my dream is to be a free and unrestrained traveler. That's all.”
Still unwilling to give up, Koshiro asked again,"Are you really not willing to stay?”
Lin Mo nodded firmly.”
Seeing that he really couldn't persuade him, Koshiro had no other choice." Alright, since that's the case, I won't persuade him to stay any longer. How long do you plan to stay in Frostmoon Village this time?”
Lin Mo thought for a moment. The total progress of the check-in was only 30%. Based on his previous check-in experience in Windmill Town, it would probably take at least ten days to half a month for the check-in to be completed smoothly."About half a month."
Upon hearing this, Koshiro picked up his teacup and took a sip before continuing,""There are no inns in the village. Before you leave, stay in the training hall.”
"Alright." Lin Mo had no objections.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while more. Koshiro then arranged a guest room for Lin Mo and had someone deliver the wine he had promised Lin Mo.
After storing the 15 jars of wine that were half the height of a person into the System Space, Lin Mo decided to go to the village since it was still early.
Just as he entered the courtyard.
He felt a murderous aura coming from behind him.
He dodged a wave of attacks.
Facing the moonlight, Lin Mo saw the person with the iconic short green hair who was attacking him. With a hand blade, he easily hit Sauron, who was holding two bamboo swords, to the ground.
"Damn it!" Sauron got up from the ground." Guina lost to you. You must have won by trickery. If you're a man, pick up your sword. I want to challenge you! If I win, you will return the Iwami text to Guina!”
Lin Mo was speechless.
What was this?
Lin Mo was speechless.
He didn't want to talk to Sauron.
However, when he turned around and left.
Sauron held the two bamboo swords and attacked him again.""Ha-take this!"
Just like before, even though Lin Mo wasn't facing Sauron, he still easily dodged Sauron's various attacks. In the end, he still managed to hit Sauron to the ground with a hand blade.
When he left for the third time, Sauron got up from the ground and rushed towards him again.
Lin Mo was a little annoyed.
Was this guy so annoying when he was young?
"If I defeat you with my sword, you won't bother me anymore, right?”Lin Mo pulled Lake Toya out and easily blocked a few of Sauron's attacks. At the same time, he also realized that Sauron was indeed stronger than Guina in terms of strength, but the difference between the two was a little big in terms of technique and comprehension.
No wonder this guy couldn't beat Guina.
Lin Mo didn't think too much about it. Just like how Guina usually fought with Sauron, he directly struck Sauron's face with his sword.
Sauron's entire body fell backward and landed heavily on the ground, facing the sky.
Lin Mo put away the Toya Lake and prepared to leave.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Sauron clenched his fists and said unwillingly,""Damn it! They were about the same age, so why was he so strong? Why?"
The hope that he had at the beginning dissipated.
He had thought that Lin Mo had won against Guina by trickery, but it seemed that he was wrong.
Lin Mo was really strong!
He got up from the ground again.
Sauron looked at Lin Mo's back as he walked further and further away. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He clenched his fists tightly and finally couldn't help but chase after him."Hey, wait a minute."
"Hmm?" Lin Mo turned to look at him.
"How long have you been practicing swordsmanship?" Solon asked directly.”
"Less than half a day."
"Half, half a day?" Sauron swallowed his saliva." How can such a powerful sword technique be obtained after half a day?!"”
At that moment, the first thing he thought of was that Lin Mo was trying to trick him. However, for some reason, this guy did not give him the feeling that he was the kind of person who was full of lies.
Lin Mo didn't care if others believed him.""Believe it or not, I'll leave first.”
Seeing that Lin Mo was about to leave, Sauron immediately caught up with him and blocked his way.""I didn't say I didn't believe it. I was just very surprised. That... Can you tell me how you practice your sword? I also want to become someone as powerful as you!”
Lin Mo didn't expect Sauron to ask him for swordsmanship.
However, when he thought about how Sauron had been pestering him, he knew that he would not give up easily if he left without saying anything.
Since that was the case, he might as well give that fellow some pointers and let him ponder on his own. That way, he could still spend the rest of his days in peace.
"How long have you been in the One-hearted Training Hall?" Lin Mo asked.”
"Almost a year!"
"The result of a year of learning is to rush forward recklessly and knock down the opponent with brute force?”
"Ah, this…" Sauron was a little flustered.
"Do you know why you can't beat Guina?" Lin Mo continued.”
"I-I don't know. I've clearly tried my best, but I just can't beat her…Do you know why?"
"Your battle has no technique to speak of.”Lin Mo said bluntly," In terms of strength, you and Guina are on par with each other now that you're using the Dual Blade Style. Even if your strength surpasses hers in the future, she can still defeat you with superb sword skills. From the very beginning, your direction was half wrong.”
"Half wrong?" " What should I do to defeat Guina?" Solon asked.”
"Under the premise of training your basic skills, you still have to improve your sword skills. Don't just blindly charge forward with brute force. You have to think about your opponent's attack patterns and counter them. As long as you are strong enough, you can find flaws in even the most perfect sword moves.”
Just as he finished speaking.
'Beep beep! Mentor Sauron's swordsmanship, progress 20%, current progress is 50%. Swordsmanship level 1. Current Swordsmanship level: Level 4.'
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately felt the change in the power in his body. An even more powerful and terrifying aura was emitted.
As expected…
In order to complete the check-in progress, he still had to be with the key figures. This could be seen from the fact that he had increased the check-in progress by 20% by guiding Sauron's swordsmanship.
"What was that just now?" At this moment, Sauron's voice was heard." Is it an illusion? I seem to feel an indescribable sense of oppression…"
Lin Mo glanced at Sauron.
As expected of the Great Sword Hero who would become One Piece Luffy's right-hand man in the future.
Changing the topic, Lin Mo asked,""Do you understand what I told you just now?”
Sauron came back to his senses, scratched his head, and said,""Is it to think and analyze the opponent's moves and then find the flaws to defeat him?”
"In a real battle, the enemy will not give you much time to analyze his moves.”
"What? Then what should I do?"
"Learn it yourself." At this point, Lin Mo suddenly asked," Do you believe that there is a sword in this world that can cut through everything?”
" What?" Solon was stunned. His eyes lit up." Is there really such a sword?"”
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up slightly. He casually picked up one of Zoro's bamboo swords and said,""Watch carefully."
At this moment, a gust of wind blew.
A leaf floated over.
Lin Mo slashed the bamboo sword at the leaf.
When the leaf fell to the ground unharmed, Solon couldn't help but complain,""A bamboo sword wants to cut down leaves? How is this possible…"
Lin Mo chuckled and did not explain anything.
At this moment, there was a cracking sound. Not far from the leaves, a stone as tall as a person shattered and scattered all over the ground.
“欸？”Sauron was shocked." This, this, this, what happened? How did the stone shatter?"
