"Ran away? What a pity. I was just thinking about when to get rid of this thorn. I didn't expect the Blade Edge Sword School's Pavilion Master to be a smart person, actually knowing to run away in advance."
Nox said regretfully. When he came back yesterday, he was a bit tired, so he quickly fell asleep and didn't think about dealing with the Blade Edge Sword School.
"The Blade Edge Sword School's Pavilion Master probably heard about Senior Brother's impressive display of power yesterday and was afraid that Senior Brother would go find trouble with them, so he ran away."
Kano said excitedly. Previously, their sword pavilion and the Blade Edge Sword School competed with each other. He didn't expect the Blade Edge Sword School to be scared away overnight. It was truly satisfying.
"Let's go. From today onwards, we need to train even harder, because soon, I'm going to set sail for the Sea!"
Nox said, his eyes emitting a burning light. Although his strength was rapidly developing through training on the island, he was still not satisfied with this progress. This was because he couldn't learn Busoshoku Haki on this island.
And Busoshoku Haki was a prerequisite for cultivating the later stages of the Sword God Body Tempering Art, and also the basis for his rapid increase in strength. This was because, in the later stages, the speed of physical growth would become slower and slower through simple body tempering.
The stronger the physique, the stronger the Haoshoku. At the same time, Haoshoku can nourish the body, making the physique stronger as well. Haoshoku and physique are mutually reinforcing.
"Senior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate harder."
Kano said seriously.
"Come on, hit me!"
Nox said to the ten Senior apprentice brothers around him who were holding iron rods.
"Senior Brother, excuse us."
The ten Senior apprentice brothers habitually said, and then swung the iron rods in their hands, striking towards Nox's hand bones, ankles, chest, abdomen, throat, head, and other vital parts.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
With each strike, the ten Senior apprentice brothers used all their strength, and Nox, who was enduring such blows, also gritted his teeth and endured. But now, he didn't feel much pain.
From being whipped with a leather whip, to being beaten with a wooden stick, and now being hit with an iron rod, even hitting his body with an iron rod didn't feel that painful anymore.
His body had become stronger and stronger between repeated injuries and recovery.
"Stop, Kano. Next time, replace the iron rods with mace. When the mace is no longer effective, switch to swords!"
After half an hour, Nox stopped the Senior apprentice brothers.
"Yes, Senior Brother. We just seized a lot of weapons from the Pirates this time, and there are quite a few mace among them."
Kano looked at Nox's body, which was injured and then quickly healed, and swallowed, saying that although he knew his Senior Brother was abnormal, he couldn't help but be surprised every time he saw such inhuman training.
After a day of being beaten, no, after the body resistance training, Nox came to the coast of the small island. He was going to practice his body art. Such a powerful body would be too wasted if he didn't train his body art.
"Among the Rokushiki, Paper Art is a prelude to Kenbunshoku Haki and doesn't need to be practiced. Storm Leg is similar to my slashes, so I'll just practice it casually."
"Iron Body is good to practice. If I can train my body to be like using Iron Body in its normal state, that would be enough."
"The most important things for me are Soru and Moonwalk. Soru can greatly increase my speed."
"After all, in the future, my sword will be the strongest attack, and my body will be the strongest defense. The drawback is that my speed is not fast enough. If I can make up for this weakness in speed, then I will be a perfect existence."
"Moonwalk also needs to be trained, after all, aerial combat is also one of my weaknesses."
Nox thought about the development of his combat power while looking at the training points of the Rokushiki.
"Soru is a technique that involves continuously stepping on the ground ten times in a short period, then instantly accumulating and bursting out the power of ten steps to propel oneself to achieve rapid movement."
"And the most important thing to practice Soru well is the technique used in the ten continuous steps. Mastering the technique allows you to complete Soru."
After remembering the key points of practice, Nox began to practice.
"Soru!!"
However, in the first training session, he hadn't even stepped ten times before his body rushed out prematurely.
"Stepping too slowly!"
After summarizing the experience of this failure, he started the next attempt.
"Soru!!"
"Still too slow."
"Soru!!"
"Stepping too hard each time, unable to maintain balance!"
"Soru!!"
"Didn't control the time interval between each step!"
"..."
Nox continuously summarized his experience in failure after failure and then began to practice. In less than half an hour, Nox had already learned how to use Soru.
"Soru is a body art. My body strength is sufficient, coupled with enough talent, I can learn it quickly."
"Next is Moonwalk. Moonwalk is an upgraded version of Soru. The difference is simply stepping on the air as if it were the ground."
Without any surprise, half an hour later, Nox was flying in the air using Moonwalk. These two body arts were very easy for Nox, who had a strong enough body, to learn.
"Now that I have learned Soru and Moonwalk, the next step is to become proficient."
Nox said, panting after coming down from the air. Moonwalk consumes a lot of stamina, and he can't maintain it for long yet.
Nox spent the entire morning practicing Soru and Moonwalk.
"Next is the time to practice swordsmanship. I am getting closer and closer to becoming a Sword Master."
Nox held a sword in both hands and walked into the Sea until the seawater reached his throat before stopping.
"Splash splash!!!"
Although the Sea was calm, a ten-meter wave was still an irresistible powerful force for a human in the Sea.
"Feel the breath of the Sea, find the weakest point of the Sea's breath!"
Nox fully immersed himself in sensing the breath of the Sea. Seeing the waves coming towards him, his eyes narrowed, and Soru instantly erupted. The sword in his hand also slashed out rapidly.
"Clang!!!"
The white sword light instantly cut through the waves in front, but the sword light lacked follow-up power and was swallowed by the endless waves surging from behind.
Even Nox, who had rushed out, was fiercely struck by the waves and washed onto the shore.
"Cough cough cough, the power of the Sea is truly terrifying. However, it seems that this training method of facing the Sea directly and bravely drawing the sword is very helpful to me."
Seeing that this method was effective, Nox's mouth curved slightly, and then he continued to walk towards the Sea.
This method of practicing swordsmanship by the Sea and using the impact of the Sea to train his slashes was still very useful to him.
