Chapter 5: Believe in Li En, believe in the love and thoughts in people's hearts
The way of martial arts encompasses everything.
Just like Lianna Sandlot, although she is titled "Saint of Steel" and "Saint of Guns", her evaluation is at the top of martial arts.
One can imagine the gold content of the "God of War" - even if this "God of War" is only recognized by Liber (if the Western Continent recognizes it, the gold content will be even greater).
Only such a strong person is qualified to guide Richard and Sid, who are military aces.
Compared to Cassius's strictness, General Morgan was much more amiable. With his white beard waving, the old general walked up to his defeated general, patted him on the shoulder, and let out a hearty laugh:
"Don't say that, Cassius, he has done very well. You have felt it just now, there are traces of 'reason' on him. It's just that he has just stepped into that realm and is not proficient enough. With time, he can surpass me.
It is possible for me to surpass you, or even surpass you."
"That's true." Cassius' eyebrows stretched slightly after hearing this, "With such a harvest, this trip to the empire is not in vain."
"Congratulations, Richard, you can go faster and further than me." Sid, whose name is Richard, sent his blessing.
The blessed man had a grimace on his face: "Wait a minute, guys, I don't feel anything about 'reasoning' or anything like that. On the contrary, after I went to the empire, I felt that my doubts were not solved, but became even bigger.
"
"Um?"
Hearing what he said, the extraordinary and powerful men in the arena all looked puzzled.
"It's impossible, I just clearly--"
"Richard, just stand still -"
As he spoke, Morgan shouldered his axe, spear, and retreated.
Cassius took out his long blue and white stick, jumped up from the side of the training ground, and flew towards Richard in the center like a big bird.
This prestigious "Sword Master" actually started directly with the secret of becoming famous!
Phoenix·Phoenix·Fierce·Broken!
Richard's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm in the face of danger.
He was one of Cassius's most proud students, and this was not the first time he had faced a similar situation.
The self-created breathing method that is both a signature and the core of martial arts flows naturally, adjusting to the most suitable state in response to the powerful breath of the Sword Master.
Then, draw your sword!
Light Ghost Slash!
The sword light flashed so fast that it was difficult for the human eye to reach it!
But in the face of Cassius's famous stunt, this is obviously not enough.
Fortunately, the quality is not enough, so we must make up the quantity!
Light Ghost Slash!
Light Ghost Slash!
Light Ghost Slash!
…
After slashing eight times in a row, he finally broke through the "Phoenix" mixed with powerful spiral energy, and let out a long breath.
"General——"
Just as he adjusted his breathing and opened his mouth, he saw the sword master who was five ya away from the other side with a strange expression.
Three parts are funny, three parts are helpless, two parts want to scold, two parts are trying to endure it, just like a living fan chart.
General Morgan was still outspoken: "I understand, you stepped into that field and then backed out again. It's really... it's... it's..."
The old man who had eaten more salt than most people present had eaten rice didn't know how to describe it.
Others are struggling to find the door but never get in. Talented people like Yanilas and Sid can only sharpen the threshold. It is extremely difficult to even move one foot in.
How about you, can you walk in and exit unconsciously?
I have lived for so many years, beaten so many people, and seen so many weird things, but I have never seen such a weird one.
Even Estelle wouldn't be able to pull off such a weird operation... right...
Rubbing his temples vigorously and finally adjusting his mood, Cassius sighed: "Let's talk in another place. Your condition is obviously abnormal. It should be because of what happened in the empire."
"Yes." Richard nodded vigorously. It was Cassius after all, so he was right.
What I am going to say next is indeed inappropriate to say in front of so many people.
Therefore, the place of conversation was changed from the martial arts arena to the conference room at Haken Gate.
Richard also revealed everything he had seen and heard in the empire and his doubts.
It turned out that during the peak showdown on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Richard also quietly came nearby and watched almost the entirety of the earth-shattering battle.
Is that really a battle that can happen in the human world?
Is that really a power that humans can master?
In the face of such great power, does the so-called martial arts and the so-called swordsmanship really make sense?
Everything I do...
Indeed, Richard's experience is not without richness.
He became famous at a young age, was seduced by the association, launched a coup, repented, realized the truth in Longchang, came out of the mountain again and was reused. He even participated in the mutation of Libel caused by the treasure, witnessed the hugeness and flowers of the sky city, and also experienced the "shadow"
The strangeness of "country".
But those miracles and changes are not manifested in the form of direct destruction, and the impact on people is far less intuitive than the conflict between two gods.
That's all. After all, there are only two people who truly possess the power to destroy heaven and earth. The other riding gods are not so exaggerated, and their number is only in single digits... But tell me those who came out of the empire in various spiritual powers later.
What's going on with the PK on the ground?
If such an empire really wants to launch a full-scale war, all the countries in the Western Continent combined will not be enough to fight, unless the Theocracy in the middle is willing to take action, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
This absolute difference in strength caused even Richard's character to waver.
It's not that he will give up fighting and fighting for Liber. It's just that fighting for victory and expelling the invaders is definitely not the same thing as simply sacrificing one's life for one's country.
The former has hope, while the latter can only despair.
Stimulated by this mentality, Richard successfully took that step, but then inadvertently pulled back, in a very special superposition state.
If you want to become a sword master, both mind and body are indispensable. The only difference lies in the proportion.
As for this most critical "heart" path, you can only figure it out by yourself, and others can only give you guidance.
Just like Cassius is doing now: "Don't be so pessimistic, let alone extreme. This is your biggest problem. There is nothing wrong with facing the gap, but you must also believe in yourself, others, and the love and faith in people's hearts."
Why was the 'treasure' with such great power sealed? Why did the glorious ancient civilization perish? How did Rean control such a huge power without losing his true heart? Galug Wiseman, Dita
·Kurois, but they are all lost."
"Yes... you are right." Richard nodded thoughtfully, "But, is there really no need to pay a price for mastering such a great power? At least the information I obtained in the 'Land of Shadows',
it's not like that."
"..." Cassius was speechless.
This was what he was worried about. He was just the initiator of the Riding God, but now he had a complete "Illusion Treasure".
Junior brother, what kind of consciousness do you have to shoulder all this?
