Li's path

Chapter 232 Sharp Sword Xunyu
In the communication room of the Royal Palace of Liber, a black-haired boy was holding a receiver.

"Hello, is this Senior Brother Cassius? I'm Li En. I'm sorry to bother you when you're so busy."

"It's okay, I just finished my inspection, and I'm just lazing in the office." Cassius' voice was as bright as ever, "What's the matter, I asked you to call from the palace line."

"Actually, Teacher Yun sent a letter."

"Oh, is it because the teacher found out about you and Yanilas that you stepped on two boats. No, it's three boats. It seems that there is a fourth one? Anyway, you kid will have to pay the price." Ka Sius smiled very comfortably.

"Senior brother, life is difficult." Li En had a bitter face, and the short-haired girl beside him giggled.

"Are you still struggling? Let me tell you first, I won't help intercede." Cassius continued to add insult to injury.

"I didn't point at you either." Li En muttered, "I'm ready to be beaten up by the teacher."

"Then are you looking for me?"

"Actually, the teacher has something to tell Yanilas to bring to you." After teasing, Li En turned to the topic, "Let's take some time out of your busy schedule."

"Give me a message." The end of the communicator fell silent, "I understand. I'll check my schedule and I'll send you a letter later."

"Okay." The communication hung up.

————————————————————————————————————————

The scorching sun scorched the ground of the Martial Arts Field extremely hot, where Li En and Yanilas waited for Cassius.

"Gudu, Gudu, Gudu. Huh~" Li En drank a bottle of ice water in one go, squinted his eyes and let out a refreshing snort.

"Hmm, hmm..." Yanilas had a happy smile on her face and concentrated on licking the ice cream.Milk ice cream is very sweet, Yanilas smiles even sweeter, and even everyone who looks at her becomes sweeter.

Li En threw the empty bottle into the air and kicked it towards the trash can not far away.

It's a pity that the aim was slightly off, and it hit the frame and bounced to the side. Seeing this, Li En couldn't help cursing inwardly: "It's off, it's really inconvenient if you can't use your internal strength, and you can't even control it."

"I think this is a good opportunity." A middle-aged man with a mustache walked into the martial arts arena, dressed in a green military uniform, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.He picked up the drink bottle that had fallen beside him and threw it into the trash can.

"Brother." Li En and Yanilas nodded to the person who came, and the person who came was naturally Cassius.

"Our warriors who practice internal energy, as their cultivation level increases, the internal air flow will become more and more free, and they will use their internal energy consciously or unconsciously when raising their hands and throwing their feet. This is a good thing, and it is not a good thing. A good thing means that the internal energy will be in harmony with the body. The body is better combined, and you know the disadvantages, after you can't use your inner energy or your inner energy is exhausted, your control over your body will decline."

"Brother, you want me to use this opportunity to exercise my control over my body?" Li En understood quickly.

"That's right." Cassius nodded, "No matter what school of martial artist it is, the body is the foundation, and control is an indispensable part of it. When you really master your body, you also master the communication." The key to reason."

"Understood, I will work hard in this direction." Li En heard and listened.

"That's the end of the gossip." Cassius looked at Yanilas, "I probably guessed the reason for your visit. It's a great honor for the teacher to still miss me, a worthless disciple. However, I don't intend to do it again. sword."

Cassius is the first student of "Sword Immortal" Yun Kawaii, and was included in "Eight Leaves One Sword Style" when he was studying in the Sergeant Academy 20 years ago.After the careful teaching of "Sword Immortal" and the arduous training of Cassius himself, he finally got the amorphous "Spiral" Kai Chuan, which is called "Sword Saint" by the world.

At the end of "Hundred Days War", his wife Lena died, which made Cassius abandon the sword and stick while leaving the army. "Sword Fairy" regrets this to this day.So after hearing that Cassius returned to the army, he sent his granddaughter to confirm whether he would take the knife again.

"Eh?" Upon hearing this answer, Yanilas exclaimed, "Why is this? You have already returned to the army, why did you abandon the sword? Could it be because you think stick skills are better than sword skills? "

"No, I have absolutely no intention of doing that." Cassius glanced at Li En, who was watching the show, and turned his gaze back to Anilas, "As far as I am concerned, stick skills are more suitable for me than sword skills—— That's all. Stick art doesn't aim to kill the enemy, but focuses on defense, which can also be understood as 'guarding'."

"Why, how come... the knife is not a weapon that exists for killing. Moreover, even I have something to protect." Yanilas looked very confused, "As a swordsman, as a guerrilla, and even more as me Myself. These... Do these mean that the sword skills taught by grandpa cannot be guarded?"

(I can't take it anymore, I want to complain, it's really sad that the Japanese don't distinguish between swords.)
"Before, I was never confused about the purpose of swinging the sword. But through this mutation, I realized the lack of strength again. If this continues, no matter how hard I try, I still can't stand alone. It will even drag Li En. Back off."

"So that's it." Cassius smiled wryly, "Teacher, he's still as bad-hearted as before, Li En and you too, don't just pretend to be dumb, just persuade me."

"Silly girl." Li En pinched Yanilas's face, "Senior brother is not talking about such superficial things, well, I can't explain clearly, if you want to know, just fight."

"Fight with you?" Yanilas tilted her head.

"Of course not. Now I can't show such a deep thing, and my body doesn't allow high-intensity fighting. Brother, I remember that."

"I'll arrange it. Wait a minute. I'll call him right away." After speaking, Cassius turned and left.

"Li En?" Anilas became more and more confused.

"For questions about the knife, only the knife itself can answer it. Your opponent, answering these questions is perfect."

Not long after, Cassius led a young man in uniform back to the arena.The black special military uniform is a symbol of a department that has been abolished, and the dagger held in his left hand is even more a symbol of this man. He is the former head of the Intelligence Department—Colonel Alan Richard.

Pardoned by the queen, he thought he was unworthy to return to the army, and started an investigation company among the people.Having said that, the employees are all his old subordinates, that is, the new intelligence department under the skin of a company, and it is logical that it has a close relationship with the army.Of course, wearing that military uniform is purely Cassius' bad taste. Should he be said to be the great disciple of "Sword Immortal"? He has the same bad heart.

The reason why he was chosen to be Yanilas's opponent is because he is a student of Cassius himself and his weapon is also a sword. On the other hand, his belief is "protection"! .

Richard's moves are derived from the eight-leaf five-shaped "waning moon", coupled with his own perception, the unique sword-drawing technique is fused.During the battle, it will wave with the opponent's breath at the moment of attack, and use defense as offense.The moves and "style" fit perfectly, exerting a huge power beyond imagination.

More importantly, there is only one reason for Richard to wield his sword - to protect his beloved Liber.This kind of belief is integrated into the knife, which makes his knife so powerful.

The same is true for Cassius. In order to control his beliefs, he put down the knife and chose the stick, which is more in line with his way.

Yanilas, who understood everything, stared blankly at the sword in her hand.

What are my beliefs?What is my reason for swinging the sword?
It's because I like it, I like swordsmanship, I like Yaba Yidao style.

Swinging the sword with such a heart should make me stronger.

Looking at Yaniras who has entered the state of no one and no self, Cassius smiled slightly.

"Looks like it's time to hand over that thing to you. My former favorite knife - Sharp Sword Xunyu."

So, grandpa.

I think you knew from the beginning that senior brother Cassius has no plans to return to kendo.However, through this letter from my grandfather, I rediscovered my own sword.

Before, I only focused on speed and intensity.In fact, the most important thing is the "mind" that wields the sword for something—that is, the so-called "soul".

Why I couldn't beat Grandpa before, now I finally see a reason.

Maybe I am an incompetent student, but I will do my best in the future.

Also, I really like Rean, so Grandpa, no matter what happens, I will face it with him.If you want to beat him, beat your granddaughter too.
