A faint purple light fills every corner here, making the air look vaguely distorted and blurry.
"Hoo-ho-ho--"
Shi Ji, who had blond hair and had a bare red chest, struggled to keep breathing for a long time, and his face was filled with the most determined expression.
His eyes were fixed on the tip of the 'Ying Ju' in his hand.
As a great swordsman of the 'Two Sword Style', it's not that he doesn't want to pick up the 'dead wood'.
In fact, under the gravity of twelve times the starfish, even holding an extra knife will cause a lot of physical loss.
Moreover, what I am practicing now is not superficial swordsmanship, and I don’t need to hold two swords specially.
At this moment, in Shi Ji's sense of smell, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of metal.
But he knew very well that these were all illusions.
In such a high-pressure environment, even the steam turned into sweat is difficult to float.
at the same time.
Outside the gravity room, Longinus, who was carrying the Seven-Star Sword on his back, was observing Shiki's movements attentively through the door and window, including his every breathing rhythm and muscle tremors.
The reason why this elite Tianlong is here.
It's because his 'Planetary Governor's Mansion' is under construction.
It is said that the Academy of Science will use a "cloud device" to create an island cloud on the spot in the ninja world, and then build various buildings on the island cloud.
So he just needs to wait to receive it when the time comes.
Actually it's not just him.
The elite Celestial Dragons who have been appointed as ‘Star Governors’ of other worlds are waiting.
Before that, you had to figure out where to live.
However, they didn't care and said that during this period, they could visit their own planet and think about their future development plans.
Longinus was lucky. Noah's Ark happened to be in the ninja world, and he met Im again, so he moved in again.
I just didn't expect that the famous Golden Lion General would also be summoned and mentored by Lord Im.
He originally wanted to have a spar with the other party.
Unexpectedly, the Golden Lion General turned around and left after knowing the identity of the Tianlong people.
He has absolutely no intention of communicating or fighting with himself.
This left Longinus speechless, but he did not get angry.
He could understand the generals' attitude of keeping a distance from the Celestial Dragons.
So now I can only study 'secretly' outside.
"It's about to move!"
At this time, Longinus' pupils suddenly shrank.
really.
Shi Ji in the gravity chamber began to swing his knife. His movements were so slow, yet so steady and precise, and seemed ordinary.
But the purple halo along the blade was actually cut open by the naked eye, leaving traces of air that had not dissipated for a long time.
The next second.
The blade suddenly stopped, Shi Ji's muscles tightened and his breathing stagnated.
But fierce black and red lightning suddenly erupted, violently hitting the surrounding walls, and quickly extended to the blade of 'Ying Ju'.
"Drink!!!"
In an instant, the sword light suddenly bloomed.
A lion made of golden lightning formed on his body.
"roar!!!"
Following the roar of the Beast King, the slashing attack contained terrifying power, brazenly breaking through the layers of gravity that were squeezing it.
A golden and red crescent-shaped slash was instantly formed, rushing straight into the smooth memory alloy steel wall on the opposite side.
This scene made Shi Ji's eyes flash with ecstasy.
Done!
His previous slashes could fly less than ten meters at most in this twelve times gravity environment.
However, the next second.
Just when Shichi and Longinus outside were expecting to see the wall being cut open, they suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
This made the two of them freeze on the spot.
Until a calm voice woke them up.
"Have you learned 'divine avoidance' yet? Your swordsmanship talent is pretty good."
I saw little stars emerging from the gravity room, and then Im emerged from the starlight.
Twelve times the gravity environment didn't seem to have any effect on him.
"Lord Im!"
Shi Ji calmed down and greeted immediately.
Because this time he took the initiative to ask Im to teach him swordsmanship.
So no matter how unruly he is, he will restrain himself in front of Im.
There is no way, now not only Garp, but also Newgate has mastered the colorless Haki.
Even that brat Kaido muttered "It's coming, it's coming" and "I can feel it" before he came.
I think it won’t be long before I can step into the ‘God of War’.
It may even be successful now!
What's deplorable is that I still don't have a clue in this regard.
So I thought of starting with my first profession, ‘Swordsman’.
That is to improve the level of swordsmanship.
Shiki immediately waved his hand to ‘Noah’ to stop the gravity field.
Sure enough, the surrounding equipment was quickly shut down, and the light and air pressure in the room returned to normal.
"Lord Im, although this 'divine avoidance' is powerful, it shouldn't be able to compete with the colorless domineering force, right?"
"It just allows you to learn the technique of combining domineering and flying slashes, and at the same time enhances your level of breathing of all things."
"Mu told you before that the reason why most great swordsmen are unable to combine their armament and domineering into flying and slashing attacks."
"It's entirely because they can't integrate the breath of these two forces to form a mutually reinforcing effect."
"Originally, this was an ability that could only be learned through talent, but Roger actually turned it into a high-level skill that can be mastered through practice. From this point of view, you are very lucky."
Im felt quite emotional, Roger was indeed a genius.
"Then what is the relationship between this 'divine avoidance' and the realm of the Sword Saint?"
Shi Ji still cares more about the latter, which is also the purpose of coming here.
As for this ‘divine avoidance’.
Although he didn't know how to do it before, he had learned it from his battle with Roger.
It can only be said to be a very powerful explosive move.
"In Mu's opinion, 'Divine Avoidance' is an introductory skill for understanding the 'Sword Master Realm'."
Im didn't hide it, nor did he care about Longinus who was 'eavesdropping' outside.
"Our starfish's swordsmanship is essentially about understanding the breath of all things."
"When they can initially hear the unexplained breathing sound of certain substances, they will use their sixth sense to guide the swordsman on the angle, position, and strength of the cut. This is the swordsman, so they can cut through steel and fly.
Cut."
This is very similar to the olfactory talent "Thread of the Gaps" of Kamado Tanjiro, the "protagonist" of Demon Slayer World.
It's just that the Starfish Swordsman can develop his hearing to this extent through acquired training.
"And when this swordsman can hear more substances, and the sounds of breathing and movement are clearer, and he can kill something that he doesn't want to kill, he will definitely not be able to kill it, then he can be called a great swordsman.
"
This reminded Im of the scene in "Operation Frenzy: The Movie" where Sauron was in the middle after splitting the meteorite.
Mihawk's flying slash smashed the meteorite like a gust of wind without damaging Zoro's expressiveness at all.
In other words, a great swordsman can "manually activate the friendly side to avoid damage".
It can also explain why he didn't hurt Bucky with the black knife in "War on Top".
Asked because he didn't want to.
Of course, Shiji and Longinus knew this, but they didn't feel impatient.
One is that they don’t dare, and the other is that they know that this is helping them clarify their thoughts.
"On top of this is the Juggernaut, and what the Juggernaut wants to do."
"It is to listen to the breathing of all things and achieve further control or to command them."
"Then on this basis, build your own domain, and in this domain, whether it is tangible, intangible, qualitative, immaterial, your own, or the other party's, you can transform it anytime, anywhere, at any time.
Be a sword that obeys your own will!"
Speaking of which, Im decided to demonstrate on the spot: "Noah, turn on ten times gravity!"
The next second the purple light shone down again.
But immediately, under the astonished gazes of Shiji and Longinus, they began to condense and compress each other.
Until it forms a purple-black energy sword suspended in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye.
The densely packed swords pointed directly at various parts of Shi Ji's body.
Shi Ji felt the hairs all over his body stand up, and the domineering energy in his body was instinctively released outside his body.
He knew that Im would not kill him, but he still felt a strong threat.
"This is the realm of the Sword Master that can fight against the colorless domination!"
Im didn't pay attention to the shock and longing in Shi Ji's eyes.
Instead, I thought of Roger.
It's a pity indeed.
Because like himself, he has the top talent of "listening to the voice of all things".
After all, ‘listening to the breathing of all things’ and ‘listening to the sounds of all things’ are completely different levels.
The former is just the sound of breathing, the latter is all sounds.
Therefore, it was much easier for Roger to comprehend the ‘Sword Master’ than for Shi Ji and the others.
"Understood, the sword master realm does not require you to practice hard here."
"You should go out and feel the world, feel the elements, and feel all things. It purely depends on whether you have the talent for swordsmanship."
"From this point of view, the difficulty is even higher than that of colorless Haki. After all, the sword master's talent will not show up like the King's color Haki."
"So Shiki, do you think you have?"
Immediately after the words fell, Im also turned into starlight and disappeared.
Let Shiji and Longinus, the old and the young, one inside and one outside, fall into the same deep thought for a long time. ()
