Pink cigarette bombs exploded in the sky above the royal capital... Jiren could vaguely hear some noisy voices coming from outside. Counting the days, today should be the first day of the national competition's trials in Cairo.
It's just that living in the most privileged housing of the Security Department is like a deep palace. Apart from the servants who bring food, the only person Jilian can come into contact with is Tianren Mu.
However, Tianren Mu has not appeared again since his last arrival.
"It looks so lively... I really want to join in the fun."
After all, he is still a young man and has very little time to truly calm down. The prosperity of the world is extending its hand of temptation to this young man who is actually under house arrest.
"Are you Jiren?"
But at this moment, a cold-faced man appeared in front of the room door... This was not the servant responsible for delivering food. It was the first time Jilian saw this man and he couldn't help but frown.
"who are you?"
The cold-faced man said calmly: "Come with me, someone wants to see you."
"who?"
"You'll know when we get there." The cold-faced man reached back and said, "Please!"
Inside the Security Department, Jiren asked himself that he had no ability to resist at all, so he could only let it go...but if it was Mu Xun, the Celestial Being, he would not have acted like this.
"I wonder what Lord Mu, the Celestial Being, is doing?" Jilian said intentionally or unintentionally: "Yesterday, he said he wanted to come and chat with me."
The cold-faced man said calmly: "I don't know if he has promised you, but he won't come back to see you today... stop talking nonsense."
As he spoke, the cold-faced man pushed Jilian directly behind him, as if he was escorting a prisoner.
Damn it, he also said that he has a very high status in the Security Department... No, this ice-faced person won't give him any face at all, okay?
…
After a while, Jilian followed the cold-faced man to a pavilion.
What he didn't expect was that the Security Department was much larger than he had imagined. He actually saw a small lake here.
The pavilion is in the center of the lake, with only a stone bridge close to the water leading to it... The cold-faced man stood on the edge of the small lake, signaling Jilian to walk alone to the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Jilian hesitated for a moment, but when he saw someone waiting at the pavilion in the center of the lake, he had no choice but to walk cautiously.
When I came to the pavilion, I saw a man with gray temples but a rosy face, who was wiping his sword with lake water.
The man wiping the sword did not speak, nor did he raise his head to look at him.
Jilian saw the cold glow of the long sword in the man's hand disappearing and appearing, and he couldn't help but subconsciously admired: "This is a good sword."
The man stopped and asked, "Do you know how to sword?"
Jiren shook his head, "I don't know much about swords, but I've seen a lot of weapons, and I can tell the difference between good and bad... Although this sword has a hidden edge, it still has a hint of coldness, like a cold moon.
Usually, there is still a faint red light under the sunlight, which must be the real murder weapon that drank blood."
"It has not been stained with blood for almost ten years." The man smiled slightly and put down the sword. "For all these years, I have insisted on using the water in this lake to wash away the murderous aura on it, but it has never been washed away."
How many people had been killed...Jilian couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Although he doesn't like to be a craftsman, his father usually treats him with an almost indulgent attitude, and has never forced him to learn any skills in forging weapons. However, he has grown up in a weapons shop since he was a child, and has been influenced by it, so he can be called an insider.
Three words.
"Sir...sir, why did you invite me here?" Jilian could only ask tentatively.
"I just want to see you." The man smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, the chat will not be long, Quark will send you back later."
"Quark..." Jilian glanced back subconsciously.
The cold-faced man by the lake was holding his sword and standing motionless with his eyes closed.
"Quark is half of my student." The man said casually: "I have been following me for a long time, even earlier than Tianren Mu. However, his talent is not as high as Tianren Mu, but he is better than his hard work. Among the younger generation,
It can be considered that there are few opponents.”
"Master Tianren Mu...your student?" Jilian seemed to realize something and blurted out: "Could it be...could you be?"
"My name is Riyuro." The man...the sword master of the kingdom said with a slight smile.
"Sword... Master Sword Master!" Jiren couldn't calm down. This was the highest status person he had ever seen in his more than ten years of life... and he was also the Kingdom's Sword Master that was praised on the mainland.
.
Folks say that this sword master is the pillar of the kingdom's protector... In the early years, he accompanied King Yamos on his expeditions to the north and south, and many saints from other countries died at the hands of this kingdom's sword master!
"You and Celestial Being Mu are of the same race." Sword Master Riyuro said abruptly: "No need to be polite, you can be like him. It doesn't matter if you call me teacher."
"This..." Jiren was startled at first, thinking to himself that with such a relationship, he couldn't be called a teacher...but he suddenly realized that this Master Sword Master already knew where he was from?
"You look somewhat similar to an old friend of mine." Sword Master Riyuro said slowly: "I promised him that I would take good care of his descendants. I heard that your adoptive father Max is dead.
Yes, you can stay in the Security Department for the next few days... you will be very safe with me."
Jilian opened his mouth, about to say something.
Sword Master Riyura suddenly threw the cleaned sword at Jiren, and Jiren had to hold the sword in panic.
"Have you never practiced swordsmanship?" Riyuro asked curiously.
Jilian shook his head subconsciously, "Dad has always been against me going to the swordsmanship hall to learn. He always said I should learn a hammer."
Sword Master Riyuro chuckled, "From today on, I will teach you how to learn the sword."
"???" Jilian: "Isn't it too late to learn now? The instructor at the swordsmanship hall said that the best age to learn swordsmanship is from the age of ten..."
"It's not too late." Sword Master Riyuro said calmly: "As long as you are determined, it is not too late even if you are thirty or forty years old. What's more, you are a highlander... As long as you are a highlander, it will not be too late."
Saying that, before Jiren could react, Sword Master Riyuro suddenly reached out and grabbed him, then pulled him and jumped directly into the lake.
Jiren was shocked. He thought he would be swallowed by the lake water, but he found that after falling into the water, the lake water could not approach him at all... He and the Sword Master were surrounded by a layer of strange light guardians.
It sank all the way until it landed at the bottom of the lake... Jiren actually saw densely packed swords at the bottom of the lake!
These swords are of different styles, some are mottled, some are broken, and some are still glowing with wisps of precious light. The bottom of the lake is like a tomb of swords.
"here?"
"I call it the Sword Tomb at the Bottom of the Lake." Sword Master Riyuro said slowly: "The masters of the swords buried here have all been defeated by me... Whenever I kill a swordsman, I will kill his sword."
The sword was thrown into the lake."
"For...to commemorate those people?"
"On the one hand," Riyuro said casually, "on the other hand, it's to feed something."
Saying that, Sword Master Riyura waved his hand instantly, and slashed out with a sword light. The sword tomb at the bottom of the lake was directly split open at this time. The splits revealed a dark red blood light, and in this blood light, a vague sight could be seen.
A long blue sword.
The moment Jiren noticed the cyan sword, he saw that the point where the blade and the hilt of the cyan sword met was actually split open... Where the split occurred, a dark red sword suddenly appeared.
Eye!
"What is this!" Jilian was shocked.
"Sword Soul Beast." Sword Master Riyuro said slowly: "Under the world, there are many strange beasts... Some will turn into the familiar monsters, but some will be somewhere between monsters and beasts, or similar to monsters.
The form between weapons. I obtained a sword soul beast that was on the verge of death in the early years, placed it here, and kept feeding it with various broken swords that contained the will of the swordsman, and finally made it give birth to a child.
Two cubs...and both have matured for a long time."
Saying that, ignoring Jiren's reaction, Sword Master Riyuro reached out and grabbed the blue sword soul beast in the crack directly into his hand, and at the same time scratched the sleeve of Jiren's arm with his fingers.
"You are a Highlander. You have the purest Highland blood in your body and can control all beasts in the world." Sword Master Riyuro said in a deep voice at this time: "This sword soul beast will be integrated into your body and become
Your kendo foundation... you will have unparalleled kendo knowledge."
"Etc., etc……"
Sword Master Riyura had already stabbed the Sword Soul Beast directly into Jiren's arm... The bloody mark on his arm instantly appeared. It was not so much the Sword Soul Beast that had penetrated his arm, but rather the sword.
The soul beast is currently being swallowed by this bloody mark.
Some huge impacts were tumbling in his mind, and his consciousness was overwhelmed by this huge impact in an instant.
Deep in the bottom of the lake, Jiren has escaped from the shield released by the Sword Master...but he continues to release streams of sword light, cutting off all the lake water.
Looking at Jiren at this time, Sword Master Riyura murmured to himself: "This progress is even faster than that of Celestial Being Mu..."
…
…
In addition to the Imperial Army, all members of the Security Department have also been dispatched to maintain order at the opening of the competition.
But even so, the boiling scene was still full of exhausting fights and tramplings... This was simply a hell mode challenge for the entire royal capital's defense system.
"Sir! So you are here! I have been looking for you for a long time!"
On a high-rise building next to the National Mall, the subordinates of the Security Department finally found the second-in-command who was sitting on the roof of a house, watching the scenery and eating steamed buns.
"What's matter."
Tianren Mu looked like he was emptying his mind at this moment.
"Our manpower is overwhelmed." The subordinate said anxiously at this time: "The conference has not officially opened yet, and His Majesty's team is about to enter the venue. However, the chaos at the venue has still calmed down... Those forbidden troops,
Now we are arresting everyone we meet, and many innocent civilians have been implicated."
Tianren Mu yawned and said: "This is a free country, what good way can we drive them away... Depriving the people of their freedom will only get themselves into trouble. If you don't let the people attend the rally
, they will go crazy, and by then I am afraid even the garrison troops will have to enter. Of course, the premise is that they can cross the Dragon King barrier and come in. Haha, when enough people are injured or dead, they will be obedient.
of."
"My lord! Now is not the time for joking!"
Tianren Mu scratched his ears, patted his butt and stood up, "Now is indeed not the time to joke, I should also enter the venue."
"Entering...what kind of arena are you entering?" the subordinate asked subconsciously.
"Of course I am entering to participate in the competition." Tianren Mu said matter-of-factly at this time: "This is a competition that gathers young and strong people from all over the world. Without me participating, what will it be like?"
"My lord...my lord?"
Tianren Mu had already jumped up, like an eagle spreading its wings, and landed in the venue.
…
…
Soon, King Amos was already surrounded by people and came to the venue for the competition. However, the king simply said a few words and left directly without any intention of watching the next competition.
This is just the first day of elimination events, and it won't be a good time for many people interested in scouting for talent at this time.
At least the top 100 events are the events that nobles start to look forward to.
But for the general public, even the auditions are a lively event worth attending... because killing is not prohibited in this competition.
You can defeat your opponent and make him surrender, or you can not accept the surrender and kill your opponent directly on the field.
"I got it, the number certificate for the competition... This is your Mr. Luo." Nan Xiaonan squeezed back among the crowd at this time, "If you keep winning, it will take at least ten rounds before you can enter tomorrow's competition.
Knockout round… after all, there are so many people participating.”
Boss Luo didn't care much, he just smiled and put away the voucher.
Nan Xiaonan shrugged and had no choice but to look indifferent. But at this time, the crowd began to commotion.
"Go away! Go away! I am the seed contestant recommended by the general. There is no need to participate in the audition. Get out of my way. I want to take a closer look at the qualifications of this contestant... What kind of contestants are these? They are as thin as
You look like a monkey, can you pick up a weapon? Go away! Go away!"
I saw a swordsman with well-developed chest muscles and a big sword hanging on his back, violently knocking people away from the crowd.
Pushing and pushing.
He was about to be pushed to the place where he was standing... Nan Xiaonan rolled his eyes at this moment, and shouted loudly for the players around him to stop pushing, while he was squeezing towards Boss Luo.
"Oh my, it's so crowded! Mr. Luo, it's so crowded! Let's go over there first... Is it so crowded?"
Squeezing...Nan Xiaonan suddenly blinked her eyes. She was squeezing, but she was squeezed out by the crowd.
What a waste of a great opportunity!
Nan Xiaonan shook his head, but saw that Boss Luo was also squeezed out at this time, so he quickly walked up, but at this time Boss Luo bent down and picked something up from the ground.
"What's this?"
"The tall swordsman who walked by just now dropped something on the ground." Boss Luo picked up the thing and found that it turned out to be a sign.
"Hey, this is the certificate of the seeded player!" A warrior in the crowd exclaimed.
In an instant, the crowded crowd suddenly became quiet... Everyone squeezed harder and squeezed to make room for space.
