128 nautical miles from Corona Island, Iron Mine Island.

This is an island full of iron ore, and the area is quite large.

But the problem is that it's too remote...

In addition, the demand for steel in the pirate world is not large, so no one is willing to come here to develop it, otherwise you will lose even the transportation costs.

In the center of this island is an iron mountain, a real iron mountain, not a mountain of iron ore.

This would have been impossible on Earth in the previous life, but in this pirate world, weird things will happen.

In short, Sauron has been brought here by Li Yan since a week ago.

After arriving here, Li Yan only taught him one thing...

Knife Zen!

In fact, Sauron is a very contradictory combination.

He has a body that is most suitable for practicing swordsmanship. If you put this in some fantasy novels, it would be a sword body.

However, his swordsmanship talent is not very good, only A.

This is a very contradictory and unlikely thing to happen, but it happened to Sauron.

For him, whenever he wants to break through a bottleneck, it is unlikely that he can achieve it through self-cultivation. After all, his talent is not good, but he can break through through fighting, especially life and death battles. After all, he has a body like a sword body.

.

Therefore, many times Zoro's breakthroughs are not due to his understanding of the deeper swordsmanship, but because he feels it during the battle, and then he breaks through inexplicably.

But this is not a good sign. Maybe this will allow him to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the end, but the price is endless fighting. If he makes the slightest mistake during this period, he will lose his life.

To be honest, in the original work, if Sauron was not a member of the protagonist group and had the aura of the protagonist, he would have died countless times.

Now that there is no Straw Hat Pirates, Li Yan is not sure whether the halo of the protagonist will still work, so Zoro can no longer be allowed to follow the path in the original work.

At the beginning, Li Yan himself was also curious about trying it.

After all, Sword Zen does not belong to this world's system, but after trying it, Li Yan discovered that this method is very suitable for the swordsmanship system of the pirate world.

Moreover, what Sword Zen requires is not talent, but whether a person can meditate.

Take Luffy as an example. If he were to perform sword Zen, he might not be able to sit still for even one second!

So, it has nothing to do with talent at all.

At this moment, Zoro had been sitting there for three whole days, even under Li Yan's constant harassment.

A few meters away, a huge wild boar was being roasted on a volcano, and on the side, Li Yan was holding a hind leg in his hand, chewing it until his mouth was full of oil.

Even though he had been hungry for three days and even though the surroundings were filled with the enticing smell of barbecue, Zoro seemed to have lost his sense of smell and remained unmoved.

"Um?"

At this moment, Li Yan suddenly felt something. He put down the wild boar's hind legs and turned to look at Sauron.

Maybe he was still very weak, but Li Yan was sure that his feeling was correct.

At this moment, although Zoro still maintained the movement of sword Zen and did not even move a finger, the feeling it gave Li Yan had completely changed.

Becoming sharper and becoming more...

Even Li Yan could vaguely see the ethereal Asura emerging behind Sauron!

The next moment, Zoro slowly stood up, but still had his eyes closed, but...

In an instant, the sword was unsheathed, and a sword flashed on the huge iron block in front of him.

Then, just as he continued the slashing action, Zoro fell to the ground and lost consciousness...

Slowly walking to the huge iron block, Li Yan put his hand on it and touched it gently, then looked at the unconscious Sauron on the ground.

"Well done!"

He nodded with satisfaction, immediately grabbed Zoro, and jumped directly towards the warship on the shore.

And just when Li Yang had taken Sauron away, it hadn't even been three seconds.

The huge piece of iron suddenly flashed through a thin line in the middle, split into two, and fell to both sides.

If you look closely, you will find that the cutout is so smooth that it can be used as a mirror if it were not a problem with the material.

The swordsman's first scene...

Cut the iron!

------

When Sauron woke up again, he was already lying on the bed in the branch hospital, and even had an intravenous drip.

"how do you feel?"

"I seem to remember...successfully splitting the iron block?"

Somewhat unsure, Sauron only vaguely seemed to remember such a thing.

"Be more confident and remove those two words. Now you are already a swordsman, the third swordsman among the Eighteen Branches of the East China Sea!"

"Can I ask something?"

"you say!"

"What realm are you in?"

"I have just entered the third level of swordsmanship and have not yet reached the level of great swordsmanship!"

"Are you still not considered a great swordsman like this? Didn't you tell me that a great swordsman is..."

Zoro was slightly startled.

After all, when Li Yan introduced him to the realm of swordsmanship before, he told him that the so-called great swordsman had his own unique sword intention and could integrate the sword intention into his slashing.

Therefore, Sauron has always thought that Li Yan was a great swordsman.

But now this guy is telling himself that he is not a great swordsman?

Could it be that what he told himself before was wrong?

"Don't think too much, I'm special. I'm probably the only one in the world who can fully master the sword's will before the great swordsman!"

"If you want to know the strength of a normal great swordsman, I can tell you a good thing!"

"Last time I was at the port, the woman who came off the warship with me was a great swordsman and a candidate for the general of the Navy Headquarters, Momo Usagi!"

"When you recover, can you go and spar with her?"

Li Yan shook his head and said.

However, after speaking, Li Yan rolled his eyes and suddenly had a good idea, and immediately introduced Peach Rabbit to Sauron.

Upon hearing this, Sauron's eyes suddenly lit up!

Isn't his goal to challenge Hawkeye, and Hawkeye is a great swordsman, right?

Then Peach Rabbit is also a great swordsman, so...

Peach Rabbit = Great Swordsman = Eagle Eye!

Is there nothing wrong with my lack of logic?

So, if I compete with Peach Rabbit, can't I roughly estimate the gap between myself and Hawkeye?

I am so smart!

Immediately, Zoro couldn't wait any longer and jumped up from the bed, grabbing the three knives placed beside the bed.

"By the way, where is she now?"

He had already run to the door of the ward and was about to run out when Zoro suddenly remembered something, stopped and asked.

"If nothing else, it should be in the underground gravity training room, the one with 20 times the size!"

"Okay, thanks!"

Seeing that Sauron had run away without a trace, Li Yan also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This guy hasn't eaten for three days, isn't he hungry?

The first thing he did after waking up was to go find Peach Rabbit to learn swordsmanship...

But...

Although I can teach him some basic things, for more things, Taotu is more suitable to teach him than myself.

After all, the path of swordsmanship that I take is really a path that emphasizes talent.

It's okay to teach Peach Rabbit, but if you have to teach Zoro...

Not only is it difficult to understand, it can even be counterproductive.

Since Taotu wants to use the gravity training room at her place, she can't use it for free, right?

Although Li Yan also knew that it was impossible for her to pay, it would be nice if this woman didn't cheat her own money.

But...
Chapter completed!
