Tenhiro Budokan.
It was Saturday afternoon, and the doors of the dojo were closed. The practice hall was empty, without the usual hustle and bustle.
On the stage, Zuo Yi and Shang Yulin stood opposite each other.
Shang Yulin was wearing a swordsman outfit and holding a crossguard sword. The silver surface of the sword clearly reflected her beautiful appearance.
She bowed to Zuo Yi and said, "Please enlighten me!"
Zuo Yi bowed slightly in return.
Shang Yulin straightened her back. Her eyes flashed with an intimidating light. She suddenly rushed forward, the crossguard sword in her hand stabbing toward Zuo Yi's chest like lightning.
The change in movement was so fast that it was impossible to follow with one's eyes!
Clang!
However, this attack was blocked by Zuo Yi's broadsword. The tip of the crossguard sword collided with the broad surface of the broadsword, producing a crisp sound.
Shang Yulin's crossguard sword was custom-made. The design was hand-drawn by Zuo Yi himself and handed to a swordsmith to make. There were a total of two unsharpened practice swords and two sharpened combat swords.
Although it was not the work of a master, the materials and craftsmanship were excellent. Of course, it was not cheap.
Shang Yulin immediately dodged to the side after her attack missed. Her crossguard sword drew an arc of light upward, cutting toward Zuo Yi's throat.
Zuo Yi's feet did not move. He flipped his wrist and raised his broadsword, blocking her follow-up attack.
Before the two swords collided, Shang Yulin changed her move again. She withdrew her sword and moved behind Zuo Yi, thrusting her sword toward his shoulder!
Light, fast, sharp, sharp, and elegant.
This was the most distinctive feature of the Faston Court Crossguard Sword. Shang Yulin circled around Zuo Yi and continuously launched surprise attacks. His sword flashed erratically, like an agile snake coming out of its hole. Every strike was aimed at Zuo Yi's vitals.
Although Shang Yulin was not yet an Extraordinary and had not broken through the limits of ordinary warriors, her body was showing extraordinary characteristics under the constant nourishment of the Water of Life.
Most importantly, during this period of time, Zuo Yi's careful guidance helped her quickly master the Knight's Body Refining Technique and the Dragon's Breathing Technique, which made her strength advance by leaps and bounds.
In the face of Shang Yulin's storm-like attacks, Zuo Yi's defense was as steady as Mount Tai. No matter how fast and sudden the opponent's attacks were, he was able to predict them and block them in advance.
In one breath, Shang Yulin violently attacked dozens of times, but he was still unable to break through Zuo Yi's defense.
The gap between the two sides was simply too great.
However, Shang Yulin was not discouraged and increased the speed of her attacks.
Her sword flashed as it pierced through the air, and a snake-like hissing sound was endless. It was as if dozens or hundreds of crossguard swords were attacking Zuo Yi at the same time. Her sword momentum reached its peak in an instant.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
However, all the attacks were still blocked by Zuo Yi. The greatsword in his hand was like an iron wall, solid, heavy, and stable to the point that it made the attacker despair!
Clang!
The two swords collided for the first time, and dazzling sparks flew from the friction. The crossguard sword was bounced back by the rebound force, and Shang Yulin took advantage of the momentum to retreat, increasing the distance between her and Zuo Yi.
She stared at her opponent, panting heavily, her chest heaving up and down violently.
The all-out attack just now had consumed too much of Shang Yulin's stamina. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and the hand holding the crossguard sword trembled slightly.
"Sister Yulin, you can do it!"
Below the arena, the Bao'er, who was sitting on a small bench watching the battle, clapped and cheered for her.
Pipi on the left was busy eating sunflower seeds, while Teck on the right was barking, "Come on, come on, defeat the demon king!"
Shang Yulin took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She suddenly leapt forward, and launched the strongest attack of the Faston Court Crossguard Sword at Zuo Yi.
Clang!
In the end, Zuo Yi managed to block the attack.
However, Zuo Yi also took half a step back. He did not use any supernatural powers, and only relied on his own basic strength to fight Shang Yulin.
"I can't do it."
This attack had exhausted all of Shang Yulin's stamina and will to fight. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zuo Yi reached out in time to support her. He smiled and said, "It's already very good."
Zuo Yi was not praising her lightly. Even with the Water of the Spring of Life and his help, Shang Yulin's improvement speed still exceeded expectations.
Most of it was due to her own hard work and diligence.
So far, Shang Yulin had mastered five moves of the Knight's Body Tempering Technique, the Dragon Breathing Technique, and she had learned seven moves of the Faston Court Crossguard Sword. Moreover, she could skillfully use a combination of sword moves.
Especially the last Sacrificial Strike just now, it was quite powerful. Ordinary swordsmen would not be able to withstand it.
Considering the time she had to learn, it was really worthy of praise!
"It's still too far."
Shang Yulin raised her hand to wipe her sweat. She looked at Zuo Yi's calm face and said unwillingly, "I think I can be faster. The power of the last attack was not enough."
Zuo Yi chuckled and said, "Good luck."
He was quite satisfied in his heart. He felt that his efforts were not in vain.
The Blue Star World, which was Zuo Yi's main world, was facing a drastic change. He happened to be in the middle of it. Of course, he had to take advantage of the situation and seek an opportunity to break through.
Under such circumstances, fighting alone was too inefficient. In order to harvest more power of faith, Zuo Yi needed more help.
Therefore, he helped Shang Yulin revive Tenhiro Budokan, taught Hongwu Boxing, and personally taught Sun Qiang, Wang Jiaojiao, Shang Yulin, and Zhou Hong. One of the main purposes was to spread the faith of martial arts and participate in the process of the world's promotion from the bottom up.
A single spark could start a prairie fire. Although the starting point was very low, it was like planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. Without the initial silent cultivation, how could there be a harvest?
If nothing unexpected happened, Shang Yulin would be the first knight trained by Zuo Yi!
Different from the conventional knights who had strong physical strength, Zuo Yi chose the direction of high agility and fast attack for Shang Yulin.
In the world of Sadeya, knights could transform into assassins, rangers, or archers. Shang Yulin's physique, talent, and character were not suitable for the orthodox path of a knight, but she had the potential to become a swordswoman.
When Zuo Yi had just promoted to legendary, he had met a legendary swordswoman named Fiona. Her swordsmanship had reached a godly level. She could clearly see through all the weaknesses of her enemy in battle. Furthermore, she could create a weakness for her enemy even if they didn't have one.
At that time, Zuo Yi almost failed.
Later on, Zuo Yi and Fiona became friends. Fiona even joined Zuo Yi's adventure team. After completing several missions together, she left quietly. Until the duel between Zuo Yi and Saul, Zuo Yi didn't hear anything about her anymore.
Zuo Yi saw a trace of this legendary swordswoman in Shang Yulin.
Although the gap between the two was huge.
"One day …"
Shang Yulin waved her fist and said, "Yes."
She actually wanted to say that she would surpass Zuo Yi one day, but she thought it was impossible, so she put it down.
Zuo Yi could not help but laugh. "Well, it's almost time. You should change your clothes. We should go."
Tonight at the Seven Star Cloud Top Hotel, there was a banquet waiting for Zuo Yi to become his apprentice.
Shang Yulin and Bao 'er would also go.
"Got it."
Shang Yulin said straightforwardly, "Give me half an hour."
She hurriedly left the Sword Discourse Arena and ran to the changing room to take a bath and change her clothes. Zuo Yi also returned to Bao 'er's side.
Ding ling ling ~
He rubbed the little girl's head and was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.
Although the caller was an unfamiliar number, Zuo Yi still picked it up. "Hello."
"Hello, is this Mr. Zuo?"
An old voice came from the receiver, "I am Mei Jingyang."
Zuo Yi suddenly understood. "Hello, Old Mister Mei. May I ask what's the matter?"
Mei Jingyang asked, "I want to ask, have you received the payment?"
Last time, he bought two more Physique Potions from Zuo Yi. Because of the lack of funds, the payment was delayed for a few days.
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "I've received it. Thank you."
Zhou Hong had informed him this morning.
"It's good that you received it. I should be the one thanking you …"
Mei Jingyang sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Your potions are really too effective. I still want to buy a few more. I wonder if you are willing to sell them again?"
You still want to buy?
Zuo Yi was slightly taken aback. Was he going to stock up on goods?
