The Warrior of Love

In short, exercise first!

No matter what you will encounter in the future, it will never go wrong to enhance your own strength.

Don’t take out the two equipment, Undying Slash and Dragon Throne, for now. You are still a hero now, and weapons full of evil aura are not in line with the style. You should focus on strengthening your body.

Alia suggested that Jiang Liu study under a magical god, probably because she felt that his short arms and legs were not suitable for close combat, and being a magician would be more suitable for him.

However, Jiang Liu has always been a melee fighter, occasionally driving a Gundam or something like that, and he is not very familiar with the mage system. He is considering how to convince Aria.

"Hey, isn't this Aria? Long time no see... Hey, who's this kid next to you?"

In the big cafeteria of the Unified God Realm, Jiang Liu and Alia were enjoying delicious food.

Although it is worth complaining that the gods in the divine world actually eat in the cafeteria, Jiang Liu has been in Orario after all, and he has seen many gods with many flaws, so he doesn't care about such a small matter.

Everywhere you look, there are gods and goddesses walking around. It might be a frightening sight for ordinary mortals, but Jiang Liu just lamented that the average appearance of the gods here is not as good as Orario.

By the way, the food here is really good. Jiang Liu has been to so many different worlds, but has never enjoyed such delicacies. Could it be that there are gods like the "God of Food" or the "God of Kitchen" here?

“It’s a strange face I’ve never seen before.”

The man who came over to talk to me was a muscular man with a rough appearance and a dignified expression. Although he didn't look particularly eye-catching, his sturdy body and stubborn short beard gave people the impression of "Wow, this must be a swordsman."

——It’s like a templated warrior character.

He came here with his meal and glanced down at Jiang Liu.

"Alia, is she your acquaintance?"

"So it's Celseus... This is the hero I'm in charge of now, his name is Yuanshan Jiangliu."

Alia smiled and introduced Jiang Liu: "This is the Sword God Celseus, one of the famous gods of war in the heavens, especially his attainments in swordsmanship are among the best."

A handful?

"That means he's not number one." Jiang Liu said innocently, "He's the Sword God, but he's not number one in swordsmanship?"

"Ugh! You are so rude, little brat. I may not be the strongest martial god, but I can't lose to anyone in swordsmanship! Well, probably."

Although he said something in a low voice afterwards, Jiang Liu didn't care. After learning that the other party was the Sword God of this world, a look of interest appeared in his eyes.

"So you're really good with a sword, uncle?"

"Of course, I'm the Sword God, you know what that means--"

"Then teach me. I have some experience in swordsmanship."

"Huh? What are you talking about right away? Why should I teach a little impolite kid like you?" The Sword God had a look of disgust and disdain on his face.

"You have some experience in swordsmanship? Don't bring your childish experience here. It's just a monkey swinging a stick around. Listen carefully, real swordsmanship is--"

"Jiang Liu, do you want to learn swordsmanship? Didn't we already agree to take you to the God of Fire later?"

Alia interrupted the Sword God. This was the second time he was interrupted. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.

However, neither Jiang Liu nor Aaliya paid any attention to him. Jiang Liu even smiled and explained to the goddess: "Becoming a magician is great, but I don't have a partner now. It's dangerous for a magician to fight alone. It would be troublesome if a monster gets close to me, so I think it's better for me to learn some self-defense skills."

"So you mean you can't have any weaknesses... Yeah, I see. Before you start your adventure, it would be safer to first improve your physical fitness and close combat skills to a level that's good enough for self-defense."

Alia nodded, then smiled at the angry Sword God and said, "That's it, Lord Celseus, could you do me a favor and teach him a lesson?"

“Just this brat? Hmph, of course I don’t want to—I really want to say that, but since even the superior goddess Aria has bowed her head, I have no reason to refuse.”

The Sword God narrowed his eyes and glared at Jiang Liu: "But you have to be prepared. Don't think that I will let you off just because Alia introduced you. The practice of swordsmanship is extremely difficult. If you can't keep up, I will abandon you, even if Lady Alia pleads for you!"

"Oh, I see." Jiang Liu nodded and continued to enjoy his lunch.

Seeing how nonchalant he looked, the Sword God became increasingly unhappy with his behavior.

I must increase my efforts when I practice, and see if this little devil can still adopt such a self-righteous attitude!

At this time, Jiang Liu had finished his meal. He wiped his mouth with a napkin calmly, stood up and walked out immediately, looking back at the Sword God who was still standing there.

"Aren't you going to practice swordplay?"

"Well!"

At this moment, the Sword God suddenly felt a chill, as if some misfortune was waiting for him ahead.

"No, no, no, it's an illusion."

The big man shook his head: "Isn't he just an ordinary kid... Lady Alia, just leave him to me."

"please……"

Watching the two leave the cafeteria, out of respect for the Sword God, Alia did not follow to watch the Sword God's teaching process.

However, she was still a little worried. After all, the Sword God Celseus was known as a "sword maniac" in the God Realm. His obsession with swordsmanship was second to none. For him, he could practice swordsmanship anywhere, which even caused many gods to be annoyed.

For a warrior like this, his teaching must be extremely harsh. I wonder if a weak and lovable child like Jiang Liu (subjective impression) can hold on?

By then, you won't be so tired that you cry, but you will still grit your teeth and insist on not giving up, enduring while practicing hard... It's really worrying.

However, when Jiang Liu returned to the summoning room that day, there was nothing unusual. Instead, he looked cheerful and kept praising the Sword God's skills.

"Very good. As expected, the swordsmanship system of this world also has its own unique features. I have benefited a lot from it."

Seeing Jiang Liu so happy, Alia gradually felt relieved.

Well, he seems to be enjoying his studies. Maybe he is more suited to learning sword.

The next day, Jiang Liu was much calmer in comparison. He once again affirmed the Sword God's attainments and said, "As long as you work hard, you can be quite capable."

On the third day, Jiang Liu looked unhappy and said that his swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck and it was difficult to improve.

Alia comforted him, saying that swordsmanship is not something that can be learned overnight, especially the skills of the Sword God Celseus, which are indeed difficult for mortals, and told him not to be discouraged even if he encountered setbacks.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...

For some reason, the Sword God seemed to have disappeared from the divine world, and his figure could not be seen anywhere.

Then on the seventh day, Alia saw the Sword God with a haggard face in the cafeteria.

At that time, he was staring at his lunch, as if he had fallen in love with the vegetables in the soup. When Alia approached, she heard him muttering something inexplicable like "It would be nice if I could be reborn as a flower or a plant."

"Celseus?"

"Hmm...ah, it's Lady Aria!"

The Sword God jumped back nervously and kicked over a chair.

"You are here, that guy...oh, he's not here, huh..."

The way he looked around and trembled was just like a frightened bird.

Aaliyah couldn't help but look puzzled: "What happened?"

"Eh? No, Lady Alia, you are such a joker, hahahaha..."

The laughter gradually died down, and Celseus suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Um, Master Aria, did Master Yuanshan Jiangliu, whom you guided, say anything every day after he returned home?"

"grown ups?"

Aaliyah looked odd, but she shook her head honestly: "Nothing special."

"That is... has he ever laughed at someone as an outsider, a loser, a coward, a weakling, or something like that..."

"No……"

Aaliyah was very surprised: "Why do you ask that?"

"Nothing, I just think that even if he doesn't say it, he must be thinking so in his heart..."

"Come to think of it, he also praised you, Celseus."

Alia suddenly remembered: "It is said that your swordsmanship is very simple and solid. It is a practical swordsmanship that has been honed for a long time. You are worthy of being the God of Sword... Hey, Celseus, what's wrong with you?!"

"Woooooooo..."

The Sword God's facial features were distorted, tears welled up in his tiger eyes, and it seemed that he could no longer control his emotions.

“He, he actually said that… Wuuuu, no!”

The sturdy man suddenly shouted and rushed out like a bull, with tears in his eyes as he turned around.

"I can't let him down! How can a man give up like this! Wait for me, you must wait for me! Actually, actually...actually I like swinging a sword, too!"

"Ugh?"

Aaliyah stood there confused.

Out of concern for Jiang Liu, the Sealed Goddess Alia quietly came to their training ground.

It is called a training ground, but in fact it is just an empty space where not many people come. After all, this is the realm of gods, and you will be complained if you disturb other gods and goddesses.

After she entered the training ground, she heard a sobbing sound as if someone was covering his mouth and crying.

Oh no...it's not "as if", it's exactly like that.

"What are these two people doing?"

The muscular man who was several heads taller than Jiang Liu, the Sword God, was standing in front of Jiang Liu, wiping his tears with his arm in a cowardly manner.

"It's all my fault..."

"It's okay. I'm glad you're back." Jiang Liu's voice was unexpectedly gentle.

"Hmm, hmm... after running away once, do I really still have the qualifications?"

"As long as you don't lose your courage, it's the same if you get up again after falling down!"

“Wuwuwu… Please… Please teach me sword fighting once again, once again. This time I will persevere to the end…”

The Sword God Celseus fell to his knees in front of the young man with a thud, buried his body deeply, and cried out in pain.

"Master, I want to learn how to wield a sword!"

Chapter 349: Don't be ashamed to ask Jiang Liujun

"Spark sleeping in the darkness, show me your true power. In the name of the Sealing Goddess Ariadoya, I command you to lift the seal!"

The veil of dusk light descended upon Jiang Liu, and a warm and gentle force merged into his body, causing every inch of his skin and every pore to emit refreshing nerve signals. His whole body was lifted up, and he immediately felt that his state was very different from before.

"So powerful." Jiang Liu was somewhat surprised as he enjoyed the power surging from deep within his body.

Alia withdrew her hand, very satisfied with the effect of the spell.

"The Great Goddess said that there is a huge power hidden in your body, but it has been imprisoned for some reason. Now I have used my skills to release part of the imprisonment. You should be able to experience it... But unfortunately, I have never seen such a seal before, so I can only unlock part of it."

"No, this is already amazing. You are worthy of being a goddess to be able to do such a thing."

Jiang Liu said this sincerely. He was very clear about his situation. Alia did not bring shame to the title of "Sealed Goddess". In a sense, it could even be said that she created a miracle.

Because what he has is not a seal at all!

His body was severely damaged, and his flesh automatically rejuvenated to accumulate strength and repair himself, similar to the instinct of some animals to feign death or hibernate.

Originally, Jiang Liu should have gradually recovered his original strength through training, but Alia's magic allowed Jiang Liu to take a step forward. Now he is almost approaching "maturity" without any side effects. This is not achieved by overdrawing potential.

According to Jiang Liu's own experience, Alia's technique already involves cause and effect. It is not simply to unlock the seal, but to "return the object to its original state." So Jiang Liu is moving towards his heyday.

However, Jiang Liu's growth ultimately requires time and a lot of exercise to support, so he can't become a fat man in one go. The most Alia can do is speed up the process.

Of course, even so, Jiang Liu still gained a great advantage.

"I didn't expect that even the Sword God Celseus was impressed by you."

Aaliyah placed refreshments on the table and said as she did so: "I had guessed that you were very capable, but I didn't expect you to be so exaggerated."

Jiang Liu gradually suppressed his excitement, and listened to Alia's words as if he realized something: It's finally here!

"I'm very curious about this... Jiang Liu, you weren't originally what you are now, right?"

Alia sat down, holding the cup of black tea, and looked at Jiang Liu calmly.

"We have become friends after spending some time together. Can you tell me what happened?"

I was suspected... and rightfully so.

This is the Sealing Goddess Alia, not the Water Goddess Aqua. How is it possible that she can't see the problem at this point?

He has saved more than three hundred worlds, and his experience, wisdom, and vision are extraordinary.

The reason why she asked now was that Jiang Liu gave her a very friendly feeling and she instinctively believed that he was not a bad person.
