Chapter 1681 What is a Sword Saint? Shi Ji pondered!
Star pressure palace.
layer.
Inside gravity room No. 1.
The faint purple light filled every corner here, making the air look vaguely distorted and blurry.
"Hoo-ho-ho--"
The blond Shiki had a bare red chest, and he was taking long, hard breaths with a determined expression on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the tip of the 'Sakura Ten' in his hand.
As a great swordsman who is good at two-sword skills, it's not that he doesn't want to pick up the "Deadwood".
Under the twelve times gravity of the starfish, even holding one more knife would cause a huge loss of physical strength.
Moreover, what you are practicing now is not just superficial swordsmanship, so there is no need to take two knives specifically.
At this moment, in Shiqi's sense of smell, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of metal.
But he knew very well that these were illusions.
In such a high-pressure environment, even the steam from sweat has difficulty floating up.
at the same time.
Outside the gravity room, Longinus, carrying the Seven-Star Sword on his back, was concentrating on observing Shiki's movements through the doors and windows, including his every breathing rhythm and muscle tremors.
The reason why this elite celestial dragon is here.
Because his 'Planetary Governor's Palace' is under construction.
It is said that the Academy of Sciences intends to use the 'cloud device' to create an island cloud on site in the Ninja World, and then construct 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 Tianlong people who were appointed as the 'Star Governors' of other worlds are waiting.
Before that, you have to find your own place to live.
But they didn't care, and said that they could use this time to visit their own planet and think about future development plans.
Longinus was lucky. Noah's Ark happened to be in the Ninja World, and he met Im, so he moved in again.
But I didn't expect that the famous General Golden Lion would also be summoned and instructed by Lord Yim.
He originally wanted to have a sparring match with the other party.
Unexpectedly, General Golden Lion turned around and left after knowing the identity of the Celestial Dragon.
There is absolutely no intention of communicating or fighting with me.
This left Longinus speechless, but he did not get angry.
He could understand why the admirals kept their distance from the Celestial Dragons.
So now I can only study 'secretly' outside.
“It’s time to move!”
At this moment, Longinus' pupils suddenly shrank.
really.
Shi Ji in the gravity room began to swing the knife. His movements were so slow, steady and precise that they looked ordinary.
However, the purple halo along the blade was cut visibly by the naked eye, leaving traces of air that lasted for a long time.
next second.
The blade stopped suddenly, Shiqi's muscles tensed and his breathing stagnated.
But fierce black and red lightning suddenly broke out, violently hitting the surrounding walls, and quickly extended to the blade of "Sakura Ten".
"Drink!!!"
In an instant, the knife light suddenly burst out.
A lion made of golden lightning formed on his body.
"Roar!!!"
As the Beast King roared, the slashing blow containing terrifying power broke through the layers of gravity that were pressing down on him.
Instantly, a golden and red crescent-shaped slash was formed, rushing straight towards the smooth memory alloy steel wall opposite.
This scene made Shiqi's eyes flash with ecstasy.
Become!
His previous slash could only fly less than ten meters in this twelve times gravity environment.
However, the next second.
Just when Ski and Longinus outside were expecting to see the wall being cut open, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
This made the two of them freeze in place.
Until a calm voice woke them up.
"Have you learned 'Divine Evasion'? You have a pretty good talent for swordsmanship."
I saw stars appearing in the gravity room, and then Im emerged from the starlight.
The twelve times gravity environment seemed to have no effect on him at all.
"Lord Im!"
Shiqi calmed down and greeted him immediately.
Because this time he took the initiative to ask Im to teach him swordsmanship.
So no matter how unruly they are, they will restrain themselves in front of Im.
There is no way. Now not only Garp, but Newgate also has mastered colorless domineering.
Even that brat Kaido was mumbling things like "it's almost there" and "I can feel it" before he came.
I think it won’t be long before I can step into the realm of ‘Martial God’.
It might even have worked out by now!
The hateful thing is that I still have no idea about this.
So I thought about starting with my first profession, 'Swordsman'.
That is to improve the level of swordsmanship.
Shiqi immediately waved 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 Yim, although this 'Divine Retreat' is powerful, it should not be able to compete with the colorless domineering, right?"
"This is just to teach you the technique of combining Haki and Flying Slash, and to improve your level of Breathing of All Things."
"I told you before, Mu, that the reason why most great swordsmen can't integrate the Armament Haki into the Flying Slash is because of this."
"It's all because they can't integrate the two forces into a harmonious whole and create a mutually reinforcing effect."
"Originally, this was an ability that could only be acquired through pure talent, but Roger turned it into a high-level skill that could be mastered through practice. In this respect, you are very lucky."
Yim was quite moved, Roger was indeed a genius.
"So what is the relationship between 'Divine Retreat' and the Sword Saint realm?"
Shiqi still cares more about the latter, which is also the purpose of his coming here.
As for this 'divine avoidance'.
Although he didn't know how to do it before, he had experienced it in the battle with Roger.
It can only be said that it is a move with very strong explosive power.
"In Mu's opinion, 'Divine Avoidance' is an entry-level technique for understanding the 'Sword Saint Realm'."
Im did not hide anything, nor did he care about Longinus who was "eavesdropping" outside.
"The essence of our starfish swordsmanship is to understand the breath of all things."
"When they can initially hear the unexplained breathing sounds of certain substances, they will use their sixth sense to guide the swordsman on the angle, position, and force of the cut. This is the swordsman, so they can cut through steel and swing out flying slashes."
This is very similar to the olfactory talent "Thread of Gap" of Tanjiro Kamado, the 'protagonist' of Demon Slayer.
It’s just that the Starfish Swordsman was able to develop his hearing to this level through acquired training.
"And when this swordsman can hear more matter, and the sounds of breathing and movement more clearly, and can reach the point where he cannot cut anything he doesn't want to cut, then he can be called a great swordsman."
This reminded Im of the scene in "Operation: Stampede" where Zoro was in the middle after splitting the meteorite.
Mihawk's flying slash shattered the meteorite like a gust of wind and did not hurt Zoro at all.
In other words, a great swordsman can "manually enable friendly damage immunity".
It also explains why he was unable to hurt Buggy with the black knife during the "Marine War".
Ask, he just doesn't want to.
Of course, Sky and Longinus knew all this, but they didn't feel impatient.
First, they didn’t dare, and second, they knew that this was helping them to clarify their thoughts.
"Above this is the Sword Master, and this is what the Sword Master must do."
"It is to go beyond listening to the breathing of all things and reach a level of further control or even commanding them."
"Then, based on this foundation, you can build your own domain. Within this domain, no matter if it is tangible or intangible, material or immaterial, your own or the enemy's, you can turn it into a sword that obeys your will at any time and any place!"
At this point, Yim decided to demonstrate on the spot: "Noah, turn on ten times the gravity!"
The next second, purple light fell again.
But immediately, under the astonished gazes of Ski and Longinus, they began to condense and compress each other.
Until a number of purple-black energy swords were formed and suspended in the air.
In the blink of an eye.
The dense sword tips pointed directly at various parts of Shi Ji's body.
Shi Ji only felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and the domineering energy in his body was instinctively released to the outside.
He knew that Yim would not kill him, but he still felt strongly threatened.
"This is the realm of the Sword Saint who can fight against the colorless domineering!"
Yim didn't care about the shock and yearning in Shiqi's eyes.
Instead, I thought of Roger.
It's really a pity.
Because he, like himself, 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 two 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 Saint' than for Shiqi and the others.
"Do you understand? To reach the realm of Sword Saint, you don't need to practice hard here."
"You should go out and feel the world, the elements, and everything. It all depends on whether you have the talent for swordsmanship."
"From this point of view, it is even more difficult than colorless domineering. After all, the talent of a swordsman will not be revealed like the domineering domineering."
"So Shiki, do you think you have one?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yim turned into starlight and disappeared.
Let Ski and Longinus, the old and the young, the inside and the outside, fall into the same long contemplation.
