The confrontation between Rean and Alleria lasted for nearly three hours.
Of course, there are objective reasons why the control of strength and physical fitness becomes more precise after becoming a saint. There are also subjective reasons why both parties deliberately cooperate and maintain a tacit understanding.
After all, the purpose of the two is not to fight desperately, nor is it simply to decide the winner. It is more of a confirmation and a test.
Confirm your own martial arts, hone your state of mind and skills.
In this case, we must let our opponents show what they have learned.
Take the beginning as an example. Alleria draws swords much less often than Rean. Just to let Rean go through the magical seven types of swords in the "Eight Leaves One Sword Style" first, Rean was not polite and did it in turn. Then, Rean changed his posture, using "Crescent Moon" to defend and "High Wind" to dodge, allowing Alleria to let go.
Although Gangjian focuses on strength rather than technique, Alleria is the head of two families, how could she just go back and forth so many times?
If the Alsaid style and the Vandel style really only have this little thing, how can they become the largest martial sects in the empire?
After a round of showing each other, the next step is to target each other.
Combined with the experience just now, use your own tricks to target the opponent's weaknesses, flaws, and loopholes to better hone yourself.
This process took the longest time.
Because after a warrior becomes a saint, although it cannot be said that he is completely flawless, he will become extremely hidden or extremely difficult to catch. It is not easy to target him once.
Discovering, utilizing, and finally making up for it, each step is not an easy task.
Many times, the two of them fight for dozens of rounds and only perfect one move.
When everything that can be used, thought of, and verified is almost complete, the competition will enter the final stage.
Both parties use their own unique skills, which is also the greatest capital for advancing to the extraordinary.
Rean used the secret "Edgeless Sword" to integrate the seven types he learned into one sword.
Alleria merged the mysteries of the Arseid style and the mysteries of the Vandel style into a brand new sword, in order to compete with Rean's "Edgeless Sword".
There is no suspense in the outcome of the confrontation. As Rean analyzed when he entered the school, Alleria wins and he loses.
This is natural. Counting his previous life, he had been promoted to Sword Master for less than a month, but Alleria has been immersed in this realm for many years, and her accumulation and experience are far better than Rean's.
If he can win so easily, he would be underestimating the "Golden Rakshasa" who is about to become the strongest warrior in the empire.
Therefore, Li En had no dissatisfaction and simply sheathed the sword and bowed beforehand.
"I lost, thank you for your guidance, I gained a lot."
"It's the same here, I've gained a lot as well."
Alleria planted her sword on the ground, returned the salute seriously, and then smiled.
"Especially the last sword, it's called the 'Edgeless Sword'. It just barely broke through my sword strike. I'm really lucky that you can do it to this extent. You don't look like a newcomer who has just stepped into the Sword Master. Obviously you
Half a year ago, it was just a mid-level pass - 'Eight Leaves and One Sword Style'. The more you come into contact with it, the more terrifying it becomes."
"Thank you. Actually, there were some coincidences, and I took advantage of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do this. Your sword has already been completed." Li En scratched his cheek.
I have mentioned before that he fought against Alleria more than once before coming back. He is very familiar with Alleria. He has seen all kinds of stunts and received them, and he has gained some experience.
But Alleria saw Rean's mysteries for the first time. Even with the preparation for the previous battle, it was impossible for him to be as skilled as Rean. After all, it was the skill of a sword master who had the best skills, and it was not that easy to break. In response to Rean's question, Alleria shook her head.
"No, it's not finished yet. It's just the last bit, the most critical point. It takes a really strong enemy to push me into a desperate situation before it can be truly completed."
The implication is that Rean is not strong enough to force her to this point.
Rean was neither surprised nor angry about this evaluation, because Alleria was telling the truth.
Becoming a saint is the end that a warrior dreams of, and it is also a new starting point.
After entering this realm, what warriors pursue is no longer limited to moves, essences, techniques or even mysteries and principles. What they pursue is something more essential.
Summarize what you have learned and the experience accumulated along the way, and finally integrate it completely to form a system that is completely your own. This is the "completed sword" mentioned by Rean and Alleria.
Before that, even if you were a sword master, even if you understood the principles, even if you were extraordinary, you still had a school, a master, and the influence of other people. It was not something that completely belonged to you.
Only after completing this step can you truly own your own sword and perfect your own path.
Of course, this is not the only way. In addition to completing the sword, there is also spiritual practice, such as finding the reason to swing the sword. Power is just power. How to use it depends on the person who uses it.
In the latter case, Rean actually did a good job. He has passed the most important hurdle. He has a clear intention and is ahead of many people.
But for the former, he has just started, and has only touched a little bit of knowledge. It is because of the final duel with his biological father that he entered a mysterious and mysterious state. This is also the biggest difference between Rean and Alleria.
When will the sword be truly completed, and when will we be able to catch up with Alleria?
So the question is, how to complete your own knife? Learn from Alleria and compete with masters of the same level to sharpen your knife?
But how to choose an opponent is also a problem. They must be trustworthy, willing to sharpen their swords with them, and not willing to reveal the information.
While Rean was thinking, Alleria was also muttering.
"Shhuaze is not enough. The actions of 'Sword Immortal' are unknown. Do you want to find his two senior brothers? No, it will be very troublesome for me to leave Livers in my current position.
Going to consult the two masters? There seems to be a problem. The Fandel family is in a very delicate situation recently. If I go there at this time, it will easily arouse unnecessary suspicion. There seems to be something wrong with the state of Master Alside... Oh, why do you want to find a suitable one?
Is the opponent that difficult?
Wait, if it's just pressure, it doesn't have to be limited to martial arts, other aspects can also be used. In this way, the choice will not be so narrow. Speaking of it, Shu Huaze seems to be——"
Thinking of this, Alleria's eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Rean, which made Rean feel frightened.
It should be enough after fighting for so long, do you still want to fight?
"Bon, Branch Principal, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because I remembered something. In addition to the sword, you seem to have a power. Can the one that caused you to quit midway in the 'Northern Campaign' be used now?"
Li En frowned, was he trying to force himself to use "ghost power"?
