After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 164: Azure Mingxin, Sword Skills - [Walking on the Wind] and [Water Moon] ( words, please subscribe!)

The warm autumn wind blew off the last golden leaf from the treetops. The leaves swirled and fell to the ground, splashing smoke particles that were clearly visible in the sunlight.

"How about I teach you swordsmanship?"

Beside the cliff, the girl's voice echoed softly, making Ryan blink his eyes blankly, wondering if he heard something wrong.

The other party came over and "violently beat" me, but the final purpose was to teach him swordsmanship?

Seeing that Ryan didn't reply, Noelle wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Mr. Ryan, do you think my level is not enough to teach you?"

Ryan came back to his senses and looked at the girl opposite him seriously: "Why?"

What he asked was the reason why the other party did this.

Pies in the sky never come in vain.

The gift of fate has already been marked with a secret price.

Ryan has always believed in this.

"If you have to say why..." Noelle tilted his head in distress: "Well, just take it as I want to see the different development directions of swordsmanship."

"...That's not true." Ryan shook his head.

In front of his eyes, a panel that only he could see appeared.

"What, you have a grudge against the leader?"

Ryan took a deep breath.

First, the requirements for users are very high.

The golden sunlight fell on the white and crystal-clear toes, giving them a shallow halo.

This series of actions was so fast that Ryan couldn't react at all. By the time he realized what was happening, a large amount of mysterious knowledge had been introduced into his mind.

"The teaching failed?"

In fact, his inquiry was nothing more than a symbolic struggle.

Ryan opened his eyes, and the faint green light was dissipating in his pupils.

The girl murmured to herself, and appeared on the treetop in a flash, continuing to swing her feet.

"...Ah la la." Noelle stretched out his delicate white index finger and tapped his chin: "Only this one, no."

The original serious atmosphere disappeared because of the last laugh.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense anymore. I will teach you the swordsmanship now." Noel's figure flashed and appeared in front of Ryan. His index and middle fingers came together and tapped lightly on Ryan's eyebrows.

Although this was just an unintentional move, since she was her disciple, she would still be more or less curious about Ryan's qualifications.

According to Noel's expectations, as long as Ryan can open his eyes and complete the digestion and absorption of Azure Swordsmanship within one day, it will be qualified.

This was the first thought that came to Noel's mind.

However, he still had a question that he had to ask clearly.

Although this special method of teaching swordsmanship called "Mingxin" is efficient and convenient, it also has two shortcomings.

No matter what Noel's true purpose is, he has no choice now.

The inheritance of "Mingxin" has never failed from its inception to the present. The most dangerous time in the record was that the inheritor finally completed the inheritance after closing his eyes for seven days and seven nights, and his body became emaciated.

"Let's do this. When I think your swordsmanship is up to standard, let's have another real duel. At that time, I will no longer limit myself, but fight you in full strength. How about that?"

"whee……"

But soon, she overturned this idea herself.

-

Looking directly into Noelle's eyes, Ryan said seriously: "Are you the leader of the Azure Kendo Hall?"

But if the "Mingxin" inheritance does not fail, then...

The smile on the girl's face remained, making it difficult to understand her true inner thoughts.

Different from learning secret techniques through "inheritance crystallization", Noel's method of teaching is more efficient. In a very short period of time, Ryan knew all the basic knowledge of Azure Swordsmanship and how to practice the subsequent advanced content.

"call……"

Second, the requirements for recipients are also ridiculously high.

However, what Noel didn't expect was that not long after she sat on the treetop, ten seconds or fifteen seconds, Ryan below had slowly opened his eyes.

"It's just that although your swordsmanship level is good now, it's still far from good, so I want to give you a push."

What does this ability to absorb in just ten seconds count?

The girl couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, but her shining eyes represented her true emotions.

Noelle looked at the young man below, a trace of expectation flashing in his eyes.

Her voice became a little distant: "The art of swordsmanship will never end, but the mortal body will eventually have its limit, and I have reached my limit. If I want to go further, I need a new 'movement', and in I see that possibility in you.”

It was as if he had personally experienced the learning process from scratch.

Even she would feel tired using this method of teaching.

"In this way, it can be regarded as leaving a seed."

Looking at the young man who closed his eyes and accepted the inheritance, Noel's eyes flashed with a hint of tiredness.

Although in the end the recipient can fully accept the inherited swordsmanship, the time required and the level of pain endured during the process vary greatly depending on the qualifications.

-

The only change on the panel is that a brand new sword skill appears on the [Learning Skills] column.

Ryan focused his attention on "Azure Swordsmanship", and a detailed introduction emerged.

[Azure Swordsmanship (Mastery): The secret swordsmanship of the Azure Kendo Hall, Azure is the wind of heaven and earth. It can moisturize things silently, and can also wreak havoc and violence, thousands of times, all in the heart. You have mastered the basic postures and derived sword moves of Azure Swordsmanship. Due to the special inheritance method, when the swordsmanship proficiency is upgraded to the next level, the corresponding "special sword skills" can be automatically activated.

Currently, the special sword skill has been learned - [Walking on the Wind]: step forward, draw the sword and slash hard, increasing the movement speed and cutting speed. The degree of increase is related to [Spiritual] strength and swordsmanship level. 】

"Tianqing-Walking on the Wind..."

"This should be the sword technique used by Hurricane Swordsman Field before."

"And it reaches the 'Mastery Level' once you master it. Is it because of the special method of teaching swordsmanship just now?"

Ryan thought to himself.

Azure Swordsmanship, as well as the special sword skills of Azure Swordsmanship, are all clearly engraved in his heart. As long as he wants to, he can definitely use them.

Ryan raised his eyes and looked forward, but met a pair of shining eyes head on.

"Well...it seems you absorbed it quickly." Noelle jumped down from the branch and stood on a raised rock, with his hands behind his back and his body slightly leaning forward to look at Ryan.

"How about it, do you want to try it out?"

As he spoke, a gray-silver standard long sword swirled and penetrated into the ground in front of Ryan.

"Although I really want to see how you use your 'one-handed long sword' with Azure Swordsmanship, your current level is not enough. Let's try it with a normal long sword first."

The girl's clear voice reached Ryan's ears. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and pulled out the gray silver sword in front of him.

The moment he took possession of the long sword, a sense of familiarity suddenly arose, as if he had been immersed in the long sword for more than ten or decades.

only……

He was used to the heavy and heavy feeling of a big sword, but it felt a little weird to hold a light weapon like a one-handed long sword.

"call……"

With a long sigh of relief, Ryan forced himself to adapt to the feel of the hand. He looked at Noel opposite, who had jumped from the big rock to the ground and was holding a long sword of the same style as him, and said in a deep voice:

"let's start."

Noelle chuckled, and in the next moment, a green sword light struck in front of Ryan.

"Ding--!"

The sword's edge collided with the sword's edge. Ryan raised his sword to block lightly, and at the same time, he slashed downwards.

The sword moves that should have been light and sharp felt as heavy as a mountain when used in his hands.

Such a unique style of Azure swordsmanship made Noelle smile.

Although it is still a bit raw, this situation shows that Ryan is not just simply learning the Azure Sword Technique, but has begun to try to make some adjustments to the Azure Sword Technique that suits him.

Swords kept colliding with each other, and every time Ryan made a powerful and heavy slash, Noelle's light movements broke through.

In the process, the surprise in Noel's eyes became more and more intense, and in the end, he was a little shocked.

Although Ryan's Azure Swordsmanship is somewhat different from normal, his mastery is comparable to the core disciples of the Azure Sword Gym.

You know, just now, I was teaching him personally.

Such talent...

After more than a dozen rounds, Ryan stepped back and took a deep breath.

The green aura filled the sword in his hand and spread to his whole body.

At this moment, Ryan seemed to feel the power of the wind.

Unlike the "Storm Swordsmanship" which cuts down the storm, the "Azure Swordsmanship" is a swordsmanship that controls the wind.

With one step forward, the wind was no longer a resistance, but instead became a boost, causing his speed to increase significantly.

——Special sword skill: Wind-Stepping Slash.

The long sword slashed down, like a blue crescent moon blooming in the sky.

"Ding--"

With a crisp sound, the long sword passed through Noel's body again, and the next moment, the sword edge was already in front of Ryan's neck, forcing him to stop.

"It's this move again."

Ryan put down the sword in his hand: "I lost, can you tell me what this move is?"

Noelle took back the sword with a smile: "This is a sword skill that can only be acquired after the Azure Swordsmanship has been refined to a deeper level. It is called "Water Moon". It has various effects on eyesight, experience, spirituality, physical fitness, etc." Very demanding.”

"If it is an ordinary swordsman, it is impossible to learn this kind of sword skill in a lifetime, but if it is you, Mr. Lane, I believe that you will be able to learn it in a short time."

"Not bad, not bad. If you continue to grow like this, I believe you will reach a level that satisfies me before long."

"Well, I've been out for a long time today, it's time to go home~"

"By the way, I am still free during this period. If you are willing, you can come here at 9 o'clock every morning and I will play with you."

"You are not allowed to mention my existence to anyone."

"That's it for today, bye~"

With these words behind him, Noel's figure disappeared from Ryan's eyes like the wind. The empty cliffs are left with only the gentle breeze blowing and the faint sound of distant waves.

Ryan lowered his head slightly and looked at the gray-silver sword in his hand.

If it weren't for the real touch in his hands and the new swordsmanship in his mind, Ryan would have even thought that what just happened was just a dream.

Who is this girl named "Noelle"?

To have such superb swordsmanship, and the swordsmanship taught to her is the secret swordsmanship of the Azure Kendo Hall, it shows that she must be closely related to the Azure Kendo Hall. However, Noelle denied that she was the leader. I don’t know. Why, Ryan subconsciously thought that Noelle did not lie to him about this matter.

Everything is like seeing flowers in the fog, hazy.

"call……"

After a long while, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

It was originally just a simple sword platform challenge, but I didn't expect that such a change would occur.

"Come over tomorrow and take a look."

In any case, so far, Ryan has not only suffered no loss, but has also gained blood and learned a brand new swordsmanship.

As for Noelle's "request", it is still too far away for him now.

Without leaving in a hurry, Ryan stood there, gently waving the sword and feeling it quietly.

Azure swordsmanship is an unquestionable one-handed swordsmanship.

Whether it is its force structure or attack method, it is all about defeating the opponent with the fastest speed and the smallest possible force.

This is completely opposite to the concept of swordsmanship that Ryan has always used.

The greatsword is a heavy weapon that pursues ultimate violence and destructive power. Due to its heavy nature, its attack speed and frequency are far inferior to that of a one-handed sword.

It is not easy to achieve a certain degree of integration between the two.

That's right.

Even though he learned the Azure Swordsmanship, Ryan still adhered to the core concept of the big sword.

Azure swordsmanship is a supplement, a branch that modifies the branches. It would be a truly stupid act to abandon the trunk because of the branches.

In fact, for Ryan, who is physically strong, the swordsmanship of the big sword is the swordsmanship that truly suits him.

After all, you can't expect a slim one-handed sword to do much damage to the behemoths that roam the land.

Maybe using a one-handed sword can eventually "grind" the monster to death, but the time consumed and the risks that need to be taken during the period will be greatly increased, which is really unnecessary.

According to Ryan's idea, he would integrate the special sword skills of Azure Swordsmanship into his existing combat system.

Take [Wind-Walking Slash] as an example. Its effect is similar to "Charge + Damage Increase". It has the same effect as the "Special Sword Skill - Collision Attack" blessed by "Blade Heart". If you can use it with a big sword. Under the premise, using "Wind-Stepping Slash" can give him the ability to advance in two stages.

Of course, there is still a big difference between [Wind Stepping Slash] and [Special Sword Skill - Collision Attack (Blade Center)].

Although the two are both charging in form, [Special Sword Skill - Collision Attack (Blade Heart)] has the "Hegemonic Blood Film" during the charging process, and has the characteristics of resistance to interruption and strong toughness, while [Wind Walker] [Beheading] will not work.

If it is not mastered well, [Windwalking Slash] may be intercepted by the enemy midway. This was fully demonstrated when Ryan fought against the hurricane swordsman Field.

All in all, Ryan still needs to think carefully if he wants to integrate Azure Swordsmanship into the existing system and transform it into a version suitable for big swords.

In this way, time passed quietly.

When Ryan came back to his senses, the sky was already dim.

"It's time to go back."

Ryan stood up, turned around and took a step. The shadow he drew covered a corner of the roots of the leafless old autumn tree standing quietly.

……

The azure city.

There was still some time before the sun set, so Ryan did not rush back to the hotel, but took a walk around the inner ring area.

His goal was to find a suitable blacksmith shop.

[Grand Rank] Most of the materials for Shattering Explosion Dragon are still on him. If these materials can be made into suitable rare objects, his combat effectiveness can be improved a lot.

It's a pity that this time his luck was not good, or it cannot be said that it was not good, it can only be said that his luck was too good in the past, and this time it returned to normal.

There are many blacksmith shops in Azure Island, but according to Ryan's observation, although the level of spiritual blacksmiths in these blacksmith shops is not low, they are still far from the level of forging high-level rare items.

As for how Ryan saw it? Learn about the panel’s prompts.

As for the "Liu Li Chamber of Commerce" that Master Jin Chui mentioned, he has also visited it.

How should I put it, the products and services are quite comprehensive. It is said that it is a large-scale multinational chamber of commerce that is as famous as the Black Agate Chamber of Commerce, and its reputation is much better than that of the Black Agate Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, the level of the spirit blacksmith introduced by the Liuli Chamber of Commerce is still not good enough.

Not to mention compared with the Golden Hammer Master, even compared with the Silver Hammer Master, he is not as good as him.

"I don't know where Master Golden Hammer has gone."

Ryan sighed.

Only when you lose it do you know how valuable it is.

With nothing to gain, Ryan had no choice but to go home.

Tianqing City is brightly lit at night.

Professionals can be seen walking everywhere on the street.

The nightlife in this world is actually quite rich.

The existence of spirituality, a supernatural power, can replace electricity in many fields, or even surpass electricity.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ryan.

At this moment, he just wants to go back quickly and study more on Azure Swordsmanship before 0 o'clock arrives.

When passing by a pub, Ryan subconsciously glanced inside.

This tavern was the same tavern where he watched the spirit shadow show before.

Just this glance made his steps stop.

Because of yesterday's incident, the door of the tavern was broken, and the tavern had no intention of repairing it. It just opened the door wide. If it can continue to operate after such a violent incident, I think the owner of the tavern also has status on Tianqing Island. background people.

Through the lights in the tavern, Ryan saw a person sitting in a relatively remote corner.

Astonishingly, it’s the sword rebel Durland who hasn’t even changed his appearance or clothes? !

Ryan was shocked.

Is this guy, sitting here so arrogantly, provoking the Azure Kendo Hall?

Also, in the battle between Durande and the Azure Chief Swordswoman yesterday, I don’t know who will win or lose.

Ryan's eyes only paused for a moment, but this aroused the black-haired swordsman's attention.

He raised his head and met Ryan's eyes.

After a brief moment of confusion, the guy's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked over.

Ryan subconsciously touched his face. If he remembered correctly, his appearance at this moment was a new look after the [Overturning Mask].

"Mr. Zifeng, you are fine."

"I'm so sorry that I got you into trouble after saying goodbye so hastily yesterday. If you're not in a hurry, how about I buy you a drink to express my apology?"

Durland said with a familiar look.

When we first met, this guy was relatively reserved, but now when we met for the third time, he showed his "true face."

Ryan sighed and did not ask how the other party recognized him. He shook his head: "No, I don't take it to heart."

"Also, staying away from me is the best way to apologize to me."

He didn't want to get too involved with this guy who looked like a "source of trouble" at first glance.

"What you said is so hurtful..." Durland looked melancholy, and then waved his hand: "Are you worried about the Azure Kendo Hall? Don't worry, there won't be anyone there before the end of the Azure Kendo Competition. Here comes trouble again.”

"You see, I've been sitting here for so long, and nothing has happened to me?"

Ryan was too lazy to say anything more, so he turned around and left. Upon seeing this, Durand hurriedly ran to catch up.

"You guys, if you have something to say, just say it, no need to beat around the bush."

Ryan stopped, glanced at the black-haired swordsman beside him, and sighed.

"Hehe..." Durland smiled: "I really can't hide it from you, Mr. Zifeng."

"Do you remember my last invitation?"

"How about we have a sword fight?"

"I heard about your record this morning. It's really strong... Let's compare!"

"I believe that we can definitely gain something from each other."

Ryan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally shook his head and said: "If you invited me yesterday, I would not refuse."

"But now that I have a new understanding of swordsmanship, I need to settle it down. If I compete with you before that, I think it will be disrespectful to you."

"So, let me refuse for now."

"After I settle down, let's discuss it again."

After that, Ryan said no more and walked away quickly.

However, Durand's persistence, or in other words, his determination to compete with the powerful swordsman, was beyond his expectation.

Even though he spoke so plainly, this guy was still following him, saying things like "It will be easier to settle down after sparring" along the way, which made Ryan a little annoyed.

Seeing that they had reached the junction of the inner city and the outer city, and this guy was still following, Ryan stopped helplessly: "Shut up."

"Now, let's go find an open space outside the city and let's discuss it."

"The premise is that you must agree not to follow me again after the competition, regardless of victory or defeat."

"Hehe, of course, of course..." Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Durland's face: "Let's go, then let's go to the east of the city. I know there is one there..."

"S-"

Suddenly, the eyes of Ryan and Durand changed at the same time. The two of them took a step back. Just as they took a step back, a black sharp blade that was invisible to the naked eye in the dark night pierced the air, making a tiny sound like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake message. Voices.

In the darkness, a figure wearing black armor slowly walked out.

"I'm sorry, but you can't go anywhere today."

Ryan's eyes fell on the person who came, and his pupils shrank slightly.

This outfit, this aura...

The person coming is actually the Black Knight? !

Did it come so quickly?

"Tsk, Black Knight?"

Durland smacked his lips in displeasure: "It's disturbing, it's really disgusting, you lackeys of the Alliance of Nations."

"Forget it, Mr. Zifeng, just let me take care of him first, and then we can discuss."

Looking at the back of the black-haired swordsman stepping forward, Ryan looked a little strange.

Wait, this guy Durland doesn't think the Black Knight is coming for him, right?

(End of this chapter)
