Raymond was dragged by two old men to drink at the "Guns and Roses Tavern" for most of the night.
The sudden arrival of the "big shot" alarmed the noble man behind the most popular tavern in the capital and came to accompany him personally. In the end, the boss did not understand why these two potion masters, who had a higher status than the prince in Tianlan, would
We came together and drank so much.
When Raymond was in a crowded tavern, others seemed to automatically ignore his presence. Even if they saw him, they wouldn't pay attention to him; they noticed him, but then forgot about him in the blink of an eye.
Just like when Raymond saw Luo Lan for the first time, he clearly knew that there was such a person beside him, but when he thought about it carefully, he still couldn't remember her appearance.
Only now did he understand that it was the aura that came with being a top-level transcendent who understood the "field of laws".
...
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Raymond, Irene and Elijah were walking on the street. They were going to visit their old friend Judy at the "Ji Dao Sword Hall".
"I haven't seen Judy for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing now..."
Erin's face was filled with anticipation and joy.
After all, she is my best friend. I haven’t seen her for so many years, so naturally I miss her very much.
She had also heard that Judy was a household name in the Black Sea, and asked curiously: "By the way, I remember that Judy didn't like practicing swordsmanship at all in the past. How did she suddenly become the 'first female swordsman in the Black Sea'?
?”
Hearing this, Raymond raised his eyebrows and recalled something.
"It was a very dark time for her..."
He sighed slightly and said: "After the fall of the Philip Territory, Judy was sold as a war slave for a period of time. In the end, she became a gladiator, trading lives for people's entertainment. Later, I met him in the Royal Capital Tavern.
she..."
"Yes...in order to survive, she once disfigured herself with a knife."
Elijah obviously also remembers the first time he met Judy at the "Guns and Roses Tavern".
She continued: "In order to survive, Sister Judy practiced a sharp sword and wanted to kill the slave owner who sold her, but later failed. It also happened that Raymond was in the tavern at that time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...
"
"ah..."
After hearing this unknown experience, Irene's face suddenly became less beautiful.
She murmured: "It turns out that Judy has experienced so much..."
...
As the three of them were walking and chatting, they unknowingly arrived at the door of a kendo gym, with a plaque reading "Jokudō Ryuken Gym" hanging above it.
This is the most magnificent kendo gym in the capital, and it is famous all over the world because of Judy, the "first swordsman in the Black Sea".
When Raymond and the other three arrived, there was still a long queue outside the kendo hall. Most of them were adults leading children of seven or eight years old, who looked like they were here to learn swordsmanship.
After all, they were visiting friends. Out of politeness, Raymond had no intention of barging in rashly.
Anyway, they had nothing to do, so the three of them lined up at the back of the queue.
At this moment, probably because the beauty of Irene and Ilya attracted the attention of others, the skinny young man standing in the queue suddenly became very enthusiastic and spoke.
"Hey, you three are here to learn swordsmanship too?"
The skinny young man's eyes shone with shrewdness. He looked up and down at Raymond and the others and asked, "Look at you three, aren't you from the royal capital?"
None of the three people had awakened the extraordinary aura, so they were naturally regarded as ordinary people.
Raymond nodded and responded: "I just came from other sea areas..."
"Oh, I'm telling you, if you want to learn swordsmanship, this is the right time!"
The skinny boy didn't wait for Raimundo to say anything, and started to explain: "This 'Jokudou One Sword Style' is amazing... Whether it is the great swordsman Sodros who founded the Yakuza Style, or the later [Blind]
Swordsman Eriksson, then [Ghost] Raymond, and then the current curator [Absolute Sword] Master Judy...these four are all super masters above the swordsman realm!"
Raymond heard his name in the story and thought something was strange, "Then what?"
"Then?"
The skinny boy slapped his thigh fiercely and asked exaggeratedly: "Don't you think these kendo masters of the 'Jokudou-ryu' are very awesome?"
Raymond responded with a weird expression: "Hmm... he seems pretty awesome."
The thin boy rolled his eyes and said again: "You don't want to learn such a powerful swordsmanship?"
Raymond responded: "What if...?"
Then, the thin boy finally revealed his purpose, "Let me tell you, the number of apprentices that the gym recruits each year is limited, and young people who are not extremely talented will not be accepted by the gym. Let me see you three
...I have also probably missed the best age to learn swordsmanship. If I really have to queue up to learn swordsmanship, I will probably be rejected."
After hearing this, Raymond finally understood what this guy was doing, a "scalper" or a "broker"?
Raymond: "Then?"
The skinny young man finally said: "Let me tell you, I have an uncle who is in charge of the gym. If you really want to learn swordsmanship, I can find a way to help you get a registered disciple of the gym..."
Raymond asked straight to the point: "How much?"
The skinny young man was also unambiguous: "Three hundred thousand quarks!"
"hehe..."
Originally, he was bored, but Raymond wanted to chat with this person a little more.
But suddenly, a sudden change occurred!
Two sword energy soaring into the sky erupted from the kendo hall, and with two "puff" sounds, they flew away through the air.
One is the cold and fierce sword energy of the "Extreme Sword Intention", while the other is the scorching flaming sword intention.
It seems that the Flame Sword Intent is even better than the "Ultimate Sword Intent".
The two were fighting each other and didn't look friendly.
No one expected that there would be another swordsman master in this kendo gym.
Raymond felt it for a moment and said to the two Ilya girls beside him: "It seems that Judy is in some trouble..."
Originally he thought Judy was visiting a guest, but now it seemed that she was a "bad guest".
Although Aileen's cultivation was sealed, her vision was still there.
She looked at the two soaring sword energies, her expression was not very good, and she said displeasedly: "It's probably not a good thing to bully Judy based on your extraordinary rank."
Ilya also waved his fists and shouted: "Uncle, let's beat that guy away!"
...
"Look, it's Master Judy! Why did she get into a fight with someone?"
"Is it possible that someone came to kick the gym?"
"This...is there any swordsman in the Black Sea who can compete with Master Judy's sword skills?"
"..."
In the moment of speaking, the two sword energies had already clashed with each other.
The movement here quickly attracted a large number of onlookers, and even the city guards.
Raymond was in no hurry to take action.
For swordsmen, this kind of stressful battle is the most valuable thing for them to understand the way of swordsmanship.
The two sword lights, one red and one green, were domineering on both sides, and the sword energy filled the sky, and soon the buildings of the sword hall were destroyed into a mess.
The courtyard wall suddenly collapsed, and everyone could see clearly the two people fighting fiercely in the courtyard.
One of them was wearing a black kendo uniform, with a pretty face and a sharp look between her brows. Her gaze was firm and sharp, making it look like an unsheathed sword when struck.
This heroic female swordsman is undoubtedly Judy.
When Raymond saw this old friend, his pupils shrank slightly and said to himself: "Judy has made great progress in these years. Her state of mind is so pure..."
Ordinary people may not see anything strange about Judy, but in the eyes of someone like him who stands at the ultimate realm of swordsmanship, it's different.
Her "qi" was also perfectly integrated with the sword in her hand, vaguely reaching the "human-sword-in-one" state that can only be experienced by a great swordsman.
This is a bit like the situation of his teacher Eriksson back then. The realm of swordsmanship far exceeded the current extraordinary level. This situation shows that Judy's understanding of swordsmanship has extraordinary concentration and persistence.
Raymond was also a little confused. His teacher focused on kendo because he was "blind." Why did she do it?
...
Even though Judy is only Sequence 5 now, she still has no timidity at all against the Sequence 4 guy opposite.
At this time, someone also recognized the identity of the evil guest.
"Ah...that's Colonel Daniel, the eldest son of Commodore Jess of the Naval Branch!"
"It turns out he is a master of the navy. No wonder he can compete with Master Judy in swordsmanship..."
"But...how did Master Judy get into a fight with Daniel?"
"Have you not heard the recent rumors in the capital? It is said that Colonel Daniel is pursuing Master Judy...probably he was rejected, and then they started fighting."
"..."
The gossips of others filled in the gaps in Raymond and the others’ understanding of the matter.
I thought it was the navy's intervention into the private gym, but I didn't expect it to be because of this.
"Not only is Master Judy's swordsmanship amazing, her appearance is also top-notch. There are many young talents pursuing her in the royal capital. I also know why she has been single all these years..."
"If there is anyone who is worthy of him, it would only be a super master from the Endless Sea like Colonel Daniel..."
"I guess it's a competition for mating? If Daniel wins, maybe Master Judy will accept his pursuit?"
"..."
The gossip among the people who eat melons continues.
When Judy and Elijah heard this, they looked at Raymond in unison.
Hearing these words, Elijah showed a joking smile on his face and said: "Oh, you dare to hit our sister Judy's attention. Now even if the evil god comes, that Daniel will be dead..."
"
Irene also raised her eyebrows slightly and echoed: "I think so, that guy is dead..."
Raymond didn't answer the topic that the two girls obviously had some hints about, but he was fascinated by the changing sword power in Judy's hand, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that in addition to the ultimate sword intention, she also understood the 'heartless sword intention'..."
He looked at it for a while, and then he understood why Judy was on par with Daniel even though she was a big step behind the extraordinary level.
It turns out that in addition to the "Ultimate Sword Intent", Judy's sword aura also has an indifferent and almost heartless sword aura.
It was this kind of ruthlessness that made her focus more on the art of swordsmanship without any distractions.
...
It's a pity that the difference between extraordinary ranks is there.
The Sequence 4 transcendent has already understood the "Black Crystal Armor". Although Judy's sword skills are not inferior, with that layer of indestructible armor, Daniel already has a 70% chance of winning.
What's more, for a big gap in rank, the gap in true energy is also huge.
If he continues to stand, Judy will run out of energy sooner or later and be defeated.
Sure enough, the two sides fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, destroying half of the street, and Judy finally lost in a sword clash.
She did not break through the opponent's defense, but Daniel's sword energy broke through her zhenqi armor. In an instant, the kendo robe was riddled with holes, sword marks appeared on the white jade skin, and scarlet blood flowed down
The arm remained, and then followed the blade of the sword, "tick-tock" falling to the ground...
Seeing this scene, Elijah sighed slightly: "It seems that Judy is ready to fight to the death..."
At this time, Irene asked: "Judy looks like she's going to lose... Raymond, aren't you going to take action?"
"It's not yet time..."
Raymond shook his head: "After she takes this battle to hone her swordsmanship and realizes the horror between life and death, she may be able to take this opportunity to break through and advance."
He clearly felt that Judy's current state was very delicate, and she was on a balance line that was overflowing with water.
As long as she has a little more, she will be able to break through the current realm immediately.
The great swordsman of Sequence 5...
Perhaps, Judy will also create miracles like his teacher did back then.
...
The big commotion in the "Ji Dao Sword Hall" also alarmed Philip in the palace.
Judy's identity is very special. Not to mention that she was an old minister after Philip took over, but her relationship with Raymond also made His Majesty the King have to pay attention to her.
After hearing the report from the Wencheng Guards, he rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
He thought that no matter who made trouble again, he would save the person.
But as soon as he arrived, he saw Raymond and his daughter watching, and Philip felt relieved.
With this person here, there will definitely be no trouble.
Philip nodded to Raymond and did not join in the fun. Thinking he had nothing to do, he found a corner of the attic and sat there leisurely watching the battle.
...
On the other hand, the battle continues.
Even though she was injured, Judy showed no sign of weakness and faced him with the sharp sword in her hand.
The two sides have become really angry, and the battle is becoming more and more fierce.
Judy was like a steel sword that would rather break than bend. Even if there were gaps all over her body, she had no intention of giving in and admitting defeat.
Finally, Daniel couldn't stand the crazy determination and shouted: "Are you crazy! If you continue like this, you will die!"
Judy, a Sequence 5 swordsman, is considered a talented swordsman even in the Endless Sea.
When Daniel came to this remote Black Sea with his father's recruitment, he thought it would be boring, but he didn't expect that King Tianlan would have such a master of swordsmanship and a top-notch appearance.
I wanted to pursue him for fun, but I didn't expect that this woman was completely unmoved.
After many unsuccessful visits, Daniel felt that he had been humiliated by a "hillbilly" and suddenly became angry, which led to this big fight.
Although he is still in the swordsman realm, he himself is a big level higher.
Originally this was going to be a competition that would end quickly and without any suspense, but I didn't want it to end like this.
Not to mention an easy victory, even if I try my best now, I can only protect myself.
If it weren't for the suppression of his extraordinary rank, he would have been killed ten thousand times.
This woman's sword intent is so ruthless!
Judy said nothing, and responded with a sharp sword move.
Seeing this, Daniel was furious: "Okay! Since I can't get it, I will destroy it myself!"
He glanced sideways, and the power of the sword in his hand suddenly became fierce.
...
"Hey...it's still close, Judy is going to lose."
Seeing this, Raymond finally planned to take action, thinking: "Now that the opportunity has come, I will help her break through..."
As soon as he had this thought, a strange scene appeared!
An invisible wave spread out, and the field of law was activated. Looking again, time seemed to have suddenly paused, and everything around it had stopped.
The expressions on the faces of the spectators, the dust in the air, the sword energy in the sky...
Everything stood still there.
The only exception is Raymond!
He walked leisurely through the messy street with his hands behind his back, then stepped into the small courtyard of the kendo hall and walked up to Judy, who was as still as a sculpture.
Looking at the familiar pretty face of his old friend, he snapped his fingers.
"Hello~"
Like a magician's hypnotic signal, Judy's still body staggered and suddenly came to life from her stiffness.
At this moment, she naturally discovered the strange "time stands still" state around her.
Looking at the smiling man in front of her again, she said in shock: "Raymond?"
"Um."
Raymond nodded and said, "Long time no see, Judy."
"Is this a dream?"
This was Judy's first reaction.
She never thought she would see Raymond in this situation.
Moreover, the scene in front of me is too weird.
Time actually stood still, and only the two of them could move. What could this be if it wasn't a dream?
"This is my 'time domain'. It's quite troublesome to explain, but the essence is not too difficult to understand..."
Raymond saw through her astonishment and explained: "To put it simply, I distorted local time and lengthened the 'moment of time' hundreds of times. So, it looks like they have stopped."
"ah?"
The field of laws is something that only top extraordinary beings can come into contact with. Naturally, Judy couldn't understand it for a while.
She was still staring at Raymond in astonishment, and even thought she had a demon inside her.
"I took a look just now. Your ruthless swordsmanship is very good. You have found your own way of swordsmanship in a new way. Your accumulation is enough for you to break through the realm..."
Lei Meng did not explain any more and said: "Now you will understand carefully that this is the transformation of the sword intention of the 'Great Sword Realm'..."
He didn't hesitate, and directly instilled the understanding of the great swordsman realm into Judy's cognition in a "teaching" way.
These are some tips he came up with after learning soul spells, and they seem to be quite convenient to use now.
The swordsmanship of the two people comes from the same source, and many things are connected.
Judy's talent in swordsmanship is extraordinary, and she can instantly capture those mysterious and profound "epiphanies".
That thin veil was pierced, and many things suddenly became clear.
Then the majestic sword intent in her body could no longer be suppressed and surged out crazily.
Sword Intent Transforms into Gang...
At this moment, Judy crossed the threshold of the "Great Swordsman Realm"!
...
"Raymond, are you going to take action..."
Before she finished speaking, Irene suddenly blinked, as if she felt something, and turned to whisper: "Hey... Raymond, did you take action just now?"
Raymond nodded and smiled slightly: "Yeah."
At this moment, a soaring sword intent erupted from the battlefield not far away.
Among the crowd, there were also people with extraordinary knowledge who recognized what this vision represented.
"Sword Intent Transformed into Gang? Has someone broken through the 'Great Sword Realm'?"
"Oh my god...Isn't it possible? Master Judy actually broke through the situation in the face of battle and broke through the great swordsman?"
"The great swordsman of Sequence 5, this is too exaggerated..."
"..."
At this moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Judy.
Sequence 5 Great Swordsman Realm... There is another monster in the Black Sea!
