Chapter 329: Swordsmanship Practice
Tidal Islands are very different from Hatchinos.
First of all, it is big. The area of this island is at least four times that of Hatchinos. There is no primitive forest on the island like Hatchinos. A huge tidal town basically covers the entire island, and the population is also large, probably There are fifty or sixty thousand.
Secondly, compared to Hatchinos in the New World, it is much more stable here. There is even a naval base not far from the island. Its top officer is Rear Admiral Lanes, and his reputation is acceptable.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. Compared with the remoteness of Hatchinos, this island is one of the seven routes that pirates must pass through. There will always be pirate groups pursuing their dreams, and the frequency is almost as high as once every three days. The average stay time is about a week. In other words, there are pirates staying on this island basically all the time.
There is also a high chance of chaos breaking out.
But that's all a matter for the navy.
Ji Xing, who has "died once", has changed his mentality to face the world. He does not have to have a righteous heart to kill all pirates, nor does he have to worry about the navy because of the existence of the world government. This There is something wrong with the world itself, and I did not invade the pirates to be the savior.
Be within your power and reach your sight!
It would be nice to have these two standards.
If he crushed the strength of the emperor, he boarded Mary Qiaoya to kill the unscug'ing Tianlong people, and it would be impossible to fill up a wave of light.
As of now, he is just a small guard under the Sheriff of Xiaochao Village under the jurisdiction of Tide Town. It is considered the lowest establishment in the army with little presence in the pirate world. He just needs to do his job well.
—“Gib! A 16-year-old boy actually snatched a lollipop from a 10-year-old girl? Are you still shameless and want everyone to laugh at you?”
"Hiss... I was wrong, Brother Holo, don't tell everyone, okay? I'll give her a stick." The 16-year-old boy burst into tears as Ji Xing scolded him.
—“You two! If you let me know that you’re drinking some wine and going to Aunt Kirsty’s house again, be careful I’ll kick your butts!”
“I don’t dare anymore…I don’t dare anymore…” The two bruised-faced gangsters huddled together tremblingly.
—“This group of pirates doesn’t look like a good guy, inform the navy, I’m here to keep an eye on them.”
After a long time: "...Holo, how did you see it? Amazing!"
Ji Xing soon became the most handsome guard in Xiaochao Village. The public security in the village improved rapidly because of his presence. From time to time, villagers would give him something out of gratitude.
His pair of iron fists made all the gangsters in the village change their looks. His keen eyes often predict the pirates before they cause trouble, allowing the navy to arrive in time for reinforcements.
While living in this simple and peaceful life, Ji Xing has been silently practicing and accumulating skills.
Taking advantage of the talent of being a great swordsman, he wants to systematically sort out and make breakthroughs in all the swordsmanship he has practiced!
…
The world of pirates is already the seventh world that Ji Xing has invaded. Before that, there were only two worlds where Ji Xing mainly used swords, Demon Slayer and Death.
Demon Slayer's special-effect breathing swordsmanship, the most important thing is the moves. The swordsmanship taught by Mr. Yamamoto in the Death World focuses on technique and strength.
As for the pirate world, after Ji Xing’s previous discussions and battles with Smoothie, he discovered that the swordsmanship here is probably a combination of the two.
Sword moves, skills, and strength are all indispensable, and pirate swordsmen also have unique realm divisions.
In the cold weather with the room temperature about ten degrees Celsius, Ji Xing sat cross-legged on the bed with his upper body naked, his unsheathed knife placed across his legs, his eyes closed and meditating.
Hunting his breath to the extreme, Ji Xing seemed to be able to feel the knife on his leg breathing.
This is not a matter of seeing, hearing or seeing, but an infusion of will and thinking. It is the special power of swordsmen in the pirate world and the foundation of swordsmen!
It took Ji Xing five full days to master it.
Suddenly, Ji Xing opened his eyes, picked up a piece of white paper beside him and threw it forward, letting it fall slowly in front of him, holding the handle of the knife in his hand.
The sound of the blade cutting through the air was heard continuously!
In an instant, more than a dozen knives slashed across the white paper flying in front of me, all using blades. However, the white paper did not turn into crumbs. Instead, after a slight tapping sound, the white paper shook continuously. Bent, folded into... a paper airplane!
It is easy to cut off, but difficult to cut off continuously.
It didn't take Ji Xing much time to reach the realm of swordsman cutting through iron, but it took a lot of Ji Xing's energy to achieve the feat of cutting through blank sheets of paper and cutting them in various ways. After two months, he was finally able to do it stably. Now he can use his maximum strength to swing flying slashes in all directions without damaging the house at all. He can also split the entire house in half with a single sword. !
"It seems a bit biased to say that the swordsmanship in the pirate world must be weaker than that of Death. Each has its own advantages." Ji Xing smiled: "Very good, if this continues, when I return to Death, I might be able to give Mr. Yamamoto a big blow." Surprised…”
Shave the old man’s beard? Hey.
A few distracting thoughts flashed through Ji Xing's mind and he continued to the next exercise. I could see the muscles on his naked upper body squirming, as if they were alive, with subtle changes in outline and structure.
This is the return of life.
Before the reopening, Ji Xing had initially mastered this ability and completely controlled his body through the crazy blessing of the Big Eater's eating.
As for reopening the invasion, due to physical limitations, it took him another two months to finally retrieve it and be able to use it reluctantly.
Ji Xing feels that it is necessary to study it in depth.
For the marines, the return of life is a six-step secret, which uses full control of the body to speed up digestion, recover injuries, and carry out various specific attacks. However, their knowledge limits them to only being in the "Pirate World" 's people'.
Ji Xing has invaded many worlds.
Suppose he changes the structure and feeling of his body into a demon-destroying world, can he use breathing swordsmanship? Let your sword strike with thunder and lightning! With flames! With strong winds!
The rules of the world are different, maybe the breathing method cannot be used? However, under different physical conditions, the effects of sword moves are absolutely different. It is absolutely possible to find additional attributes of feeling!
The reason why Ji Xing didn't choose the Thunder Fruit identity was because he didn't want to be afraid of sea water, but it didn't mean that he didn't like the power of thunder and lightning.
If given the opportunity to be a Thunder Swordsman, he would not refuse. And if that doesn't work, it will always be beneficial to practice to study more about the return of life.
In this way, Ji Xing studied and practiced swordsmanship day after day, and another four months passed.
Time comes to March 1515 in the Haiyuan calendar, and it has been half a year since the invasion of the pirate world was reopened.
Ji Xing finally...
Promoted!
…
Within half a year, Ji Xing’s contribution to the security of Xiaochao Village moved the villagers. It happened that the village’s police chief was already middle-aged and was about to retire.
Whether it was in terms of combat power or popularity, Ji Xing was at the top of the list, so he naturally took over the position of Sheriff and had real power only under the village chief.
He rules a total of seven guards!
Basically, he can walk sideways in Xiaochao Village. The village also allocated him a bigger and better house, which is a two-story building.
Ji Xing no longer needs to patrol every day. Only when he encounters a problem that his guards cannot handle, he, the peace officer, will personally take action.
My life has become more comfortable, and at the same time, I have made a gratifying breakthrough in my swordsmanship.
It was more than half a month after taking over as the Sheriff.
One day, Ji Xing was meditating and practicing swordsmanship in his new home. Huili, a little girl who loves lollipops, suddenly broke into his door.
“Brother Holo! By the sea, a sister was just swept ashore by the sea! She was rescued by her brother who was picking up shells. The village chief is looking for you!”
elder sister? Being swept ashore by the sea? Call me over? Intuition told Ji Xing that his peaceful practice time might be interrupted again.
“This time it’s half a year, it’s not bad.”
He stood up and put the knife on his waist: "Don't worry, Huili, I'll go right away."
I said it was me who farted in the evening. The epidemic broke out again in Dalian. I’m tired. When will things be over?
