Chapter 102: Sword Forging (Part )

Rengoku Makijuro listened to Fang Yi's request as if he had expected it.

He turned around and went back to his room to get a pen and paper, completed the part of the [Breath of Fire] guide book that he had previously destroyed, and handed it to Fang Yi.

The expression on his face was a half-smile, as if he was enjoying watching the fun and not minding the trouble.

"What's your excuse now? Do I have to write you some notes next?"

"Only those who don't understand the chosen one can compete with him in talent."

Rengoku Makijuro spread his hands and looked at Fang Yi who was "studying hard", and couldn't help but smile.

"I don't care how you brag about yourself. I didn't want to say anything, but you just happened to hit on someone I know."

"Be a little more humble. Next time you brag about yourself, remember to pick an area that others don't understand. Otherwise, you'll be easily exposed."

Fang Yi flipped through the guidebook of [Breath of Fire] with the ink still wet, feeling that he was blessed by his talent of [diligent study and improvement].

If I study it for another day, and I have a good grasp of [Breathing of Water] and can apply what I have learned to other situations, I will probably be able to learn the skill [Breathing of Fire] without any points.

But Fang Yi is not ready to wait for that day, after all, time is precious.

After reading the [Breath of Fire] guidebook, the skill learning has reached the maximum discount and only requires 150 points to obtain it.

[It's just a matter of spending a few more points, but I have to show off today.]

[Reincarnation Space! Oh no, I called the wrong name, it's not you, you can leave now. Lord God Space, give me some points.]

With Fang Yi's "persistence and hard work", many key points about the skills of [Breath of Fire] flooded into his mind, and at the same time he had a vague idea of ​​[Breath of the Sun].

It seems that if I collect some basic breathing-related skills, I will be able to gradually deduce [Breathing of the Sun].

Unfortunately, the [Breath of the Moon] which is theoretically the closest to [Breath of the Sun] can only be obtained from one of the Upper Moons, Kokushibo. As a reincarnation in the Demon Slayer Corps, I'm afraid I can only gamble on killing the other party to get it.

Fang Yi pulled back his thoughts that were drifting further and further away, and went over all the sword techniques of [Breath of Flame] in his mind, ready to show Rengoku Makijuro what level of genius he was.

[You must be a genius, but you must also add some points. Only then can you be called healthy.]
-
Rengoku Makijuro looked at Fang Yi, who was staring at the [Breath of Flame] guide book in silence, shook his head, and then returned to drunkard mode.

When he turned his head, he saw Nakamori Yuto, who was not panicked at all, but had a slight smile on his face.

Rengoku Makijuro muttered to himself, "What is he laughing at? Could this person who boasts about his talent really learn it?"

Then he threw this 'absurd' idea out of his head.

【There is absolutely no such possibility! 】

When he saw Fang Yi stand up and walk out without saying a word, Rengoku Makijuro laughed and thought that Fang Yi was quite interesting.

"Come back. As long as you are humble, I will be happy to teach you swordsmanship."

"Yes, my wine is almost gone. Go and get me a jar yourself, and I'll teach you."

"I still have to give Ubuyashiki face, but I won't read the letters he wrote to me. They're just boring anyway."

Rengoku Makijuro paused while speaking, and the wine jar he was raising to his mouth also stopped.

Fang Yi brandished the Sun Blade in the courtyard and began to practice his sword skills. Every move he made was as smooth as flowing water. It was the [Breath of Flame] that Rengoku Makijuro was so familiar with.

Rengoku Makijuro stood aside, watching Fang Yi's performance intently, his face full of shock and admiration.

The wine jar in his hand slipped and fell heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces and emitting the aroma of wine. However, none of this could keep him from looking away. Watching Fang Yi complete his Breath of Fire rehearsal, he rushed forward to grab Fang Yi without waiting for him to speak, fearing that he would escape.

"You're right, you are indeed that one-in-a-million genius."

"Ubuyashiki finally did the right thing by letting you come here."

"But why doesn't the Nichirin Sword you're holding change color?"

Fang Yi smiled without saying anything, with a look of master on his face. He just showed the Nichirin Sword in his hand and spoke to Rengoku Makijuro.

"My time is precious. Can we start correcting your knife skills now?"

Rengoku Makijuro no longer had the disdain he had before. He walked to a wooden rack nearby, took out a wooden sword and threw it at Fang Yi.

"Let's use this for sparring."

Fang Yi picked up the wooden sword and looked a little confused. "Why didn't he use the wooden sword when practicing with others before?"

"Stop talking nonsense and let me see your swordsmanship."

I can't say that I was confident in using a wooden sword against a real sword before, but now I'm afraid that if I use a real sword against you, the wooden sword will break in two hits and I'll lose face.

Rengoku Makijuro chose to avoid Fang Yi's question, which made him a little embarrassed, and attacked Fang Yi.
-
The effect of [Blood Demon Art: Hidden Eyes] was very good, directly showing the trajectory of the wooden sword in the opponent's hand, so Fang Yi easily defended against the first wave of attacks.

But then, after Fang Yi knew the trajectory of his sword swing several times through [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden] and responded in advance, Rengoku Makijuro changed his fighting style.

He swung his sword in front of the opponent and then changed his moves abnormally. With his high level of swordsmanship, Fang Yi had no way of responding to the opponent's attack in this way.

After all, before swinging the sword, Rengoku Makijuro himself didn't know where the sword was going to be swung, so naturally [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden] could not reveal any valuable trajectory.

At the same time, when the gap between your actual swordsmanship and that of your opponent is too great, the enemy trajectory revealed by [Blood Demon Art: Hidden Eyes] will sometimes be a bit slow.

[Is this the unknown factor mentioned in the second item of the skill effect?]

Fang Yi simply turned off the [Blood Demon Art·Eye Hidden] and honestly used his [Mastery Level Sword Skills] skills to think about how to deal with the opponent's attack.

Fang Yi began to carefully observe the opponent's knife-holding posture and force-generating techniques, and learned to imitate the opponent to continuously improve his knife-fighting skills.

He pushed his physical fitness to a level similar to his opponent's in order to hone his swordsmanship.

If he unleashed all his attributes, he could naturally defeat Rengoku Makijuro quickly, but such a victory would be meaningless.

This was just a sparring session with a wooden sword, the purpose of which was to train and improve oneself, not a life-and-death battle.

He hopes to quickly improve his swordsmanship through this kind of weight training.

When Rengoku Makijuro saw that Fang Yi gave up the "cheating method" of copying the answers on the test paper and instead studied the basics of swordsmanship step by step.

He nodded secretly, and approved of Fang Yi even more.

Fang Yi's previous swordsmanship response was like someone who only knew the answer but didn't know the underlying problem-solving ideas and related knowledge, drawing mathematical symbols whose meaning he didn't understand on the answer sheet, which gave people a strange feeling.

And now, after every confrontation, he can clearly feel that his opponent has become stronger and his understanding of swordsmanship has deepened.

Fang Yi is like forging a sword, in the process of removing excess "impurities", becoming purer and stronger.

At this time, it was Fang Yi's third day in the field, and he planned to practice swordsmanship all day.
