The fastest man in the world.

As always, the old swordsman stood opposite Roya, holding his sword in one hand, his face full of solemnity.

This contrasts sharply with the old swordsman's initial flippant confrontation with Roya.

The reason is simple: Roya's progress is too fast, so fast that Gar even wondered if this guy had been constantly honing his swordsmanship since birth, which is why he has achieved such great things at such a young age.

Gar was truly impressed by Roya.

Garr is actually very tolerant of geniuses, after all, he himself is a genius, so even if someone suddenly has an epiphany and is reborn, directly breaking through from a high-level swordsman to the saint level or even, to the king level, Garr would not be surprised.

However, learning swordsmanship cannot be calculated in this way. Once a strong person reaches a certain level, it is not so easy to make further progress.

In other words, for a high-level swordsman, you can say that he has a lot of room for improvement. For example, a guy who usually scores three or four hundred points in a test suddenly has a breakthrough and scores more than five hundred points in the college entrance examination.

This is not impossible; although cases are rare, they do exist.

Koroya's case is that of a guy who scored around 650 on the college entrance exam, but broke through his own limits and reached 700.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the score is only fifty points; it's actually even more surreal than the guy who got five hundred.

Anyone who has taken the college entrance exam knows that in the later stages of review, the more points a student improves, the more effort they put in.

This is because the basic questions on the knowledge points have all been completed, and what remains are the more difficult questions.

Learning is like this: the further you go, the harder it is to make progress.

The same applies to sword practice; the further you progress, the fewer shortcuts you'll find.

This is why some beginners treat learning swordsmanship like a game, breaking through levels as easily as eating and drinking, but they can get stuck at a certain level and never be able to overcome that hurdle, no matter how hard they try.

Especially for someone like Garr, the idea of ​​taking another step forward is just wishful thinking.

Garr has many disciples, such as Kino's father, who is a sword emperor. However, Garr hasn't seen any progress from his disciple in a long time.

He was aware of his own situation and desperately wanted to become stronger.

But the truth is, no matter how much he sought advice, that threshold always stood before him, becoming an insurmountable mountain.

In comparison, Roya's talent can only be described as monstrous.

In response, Garr could only say that there is a gap between even the best sword emperors.

Humans are such creatures; some are born to be favored by goddesses, with all the favor bestowed upon them without restraint.

Garr sighed with emotion, wondering how long it would take for his opponent to defeat him.

Perhaps in another month or two, once the opponent is fully familiar with my swordsmanship, I will no longer be his match.

There's nothing that can be done about it; no matter how much Garr doesn't want to admit it, he's indeed not as good as he used to be.

His mind has become dull, and he can hardly keep up with the thinking of young people. From the recent battles, Gar has already realized this very clearly.

Slowed thinking is fatal; Garr has reached the pinnacle of his life and can no longer go any further.

But Luo Ya was different. His young and energetic body, along with his unparalleled talent, gave him a calm and confident demeanor.

The majestic mountains stand before us, and the travelers on their journey continue onward.

Perhaps the mountain is steep and daunting, but it is there for all to see. As long as you are willing to climb, you can always reach the top.

With a touch of emotion in his heart, Gar exerted force with his right hand, took a step forward with his right foot, lowered his center of gravity, gripped the wooden sword tightly in his right hand, and tried to appear calm on his face.

Garr no longer uses the Iai stance; he now adopts the forward stance, which, in a sense, is Garr's forte.

Finishing off the opponent with extreme speed signifies that Gal will strike first, rather than waiting for the opponent to attack.

Both men assumed their fighting stances, their movements almost identical. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere grew tense.

Without any probing, Roya drew his sword first, the wooden sword in his hand transforming into a full moon. An invisible slash suddenly lashed out, and Roya's figure disappeared from the spot. The next moment, Gar suddenly swung his sword, slashing to the right.

The fight between the two attracted a crowd of onlookers. Although no one could understand what was happening, it didn't stop the group from making a big fuss.

When they realized their wooden swords had collided, a group of people started shouting and yelling.

The wooden swords did indeed clash. Actually, a better way to deal with Roya would be to use Light Return, but using Light Return might allow the opponent to react in time and avoid that fatal slash.

If a slash fails to interrupt the opponent's attack, then the one in danger is himself.

Strangely enough, although Roya's speed couldn't keep up with his, his 'eyes' were surprisingly sharp. Judging from many of Roya's characteristics, he was the type who, although his body didn't react, his eyes were definitely keeping up with Gar's rhythm.

The Sword God style aims for a single, fatal blow, and neither Roya nor Gar were entirely satisfied with the sword strike they had delivered.

Roya took the initiative, but it was blocked by Garg.

As for Gar, he had only blocked Roya's slash; he hadn't yet thought of a way to retaliate.

The Blade of Light may not be able to finish off the opponent, and the Light Return may not be able to fool the opponent either, which suddenly makes things complicated.

With his mind racing, Gar quickly considered how to deal with Roya. Gar used his right arm to deflect Roya's sword, and the two of them tacitly sheathed their swords at the same time.

Since one sword strike cannot end the duel, then a second sword strike will suffice.

Both of them thought so.

Garr's right arm was bulging with veins, the exposed blood vessels clearly visible. His gray hair stood on end, and his ferocious face had lost its former frivolity and arrogance. If the former Garr was as rude as a wild beast, his first impression was that of a brainless muscle bulge, infinitely equivalent to the level of Kyrie Il.

But when Garr gets serious, people realize that the old man in front of them is not as wild as they imagined. Garr is the kind of guy who is rough on the outside but shrewd on the inside. You can say that Garr is not very clever, but if you think that Garr is not clever, this little old man will give you a hard time at the crucial moment.

Garr's movements did not falter at all. He took a small step to the right and then, with brute force, retrieved the wooden sword. After completing this action, without gathering any momentum, he directly thrust out the longsword, the wooden sword slashing towards Roya's right arm.

The slash was incredibly swift; the wooden sword easily parted the air and hurtled towards Roya's position at an absurd speed.

This is none other than the Blade of Light.

Gal had a trick up his sleeve, saving his killing move for his second move.

The wooden sword appeared silently and unexpectedly to Roya's right. The sword was incredibly fast, almost unbelievably so. Even though Roya had dealt with this sword countless times, he was still somewhat surprised by Garr's speed.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment. Roya wasn't as fast as Gar, and he was a little slow to retract his sword. If it were a normal match, Roya would have had to deal with Gar's slash hastily.

Even if one manages to withstand this strike, it lays the foundation for eventual defeat.

But now, Garr's slash slowed down in Roya's eyes. Although it was still very fast, Roya was able to react.

Without hesitation, Roya swung his sword out just as Garr's right arm was raised to its highest point and the sword was about to fall.

Roya's speed still hasn't broken through to the speed of light, and the Sword God style remains only at the level of Sword Emperor.

But with just a moment, he was able to crush someone like Gar, who relied on speed to win, so much so that Gar couldn't even lift his head.

Roya's slash caught up with Gar's slash, and to the old man's astonishment, Gar felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and could no longer swing the Blade of Light.

"Light Returns".

Having successfully interrupted the opponent's attack, the rest of the outcome is self-evident.

The slash, faster than the speed of light, arrived in front of Gar in an instant. Before Gar could react, his vision had already been flipped.

Garr's right arm trembled slightly, but he still gripped the wooden sword in his hand, and the astonishment on his face clearly showed his inner shock.

The noise and commotion of the crowd mingled together. Everyone thought that the battle between Roya and Gar would be like usual, with the two locked in a stalemate for a while, and in the end, Roya would be slightly inferior and be knocked to the ground by Gar.

At this moment, Gard would wipe the sweat from his face and casually say a few words of encouragement to Roya.

He said things like there was no need to be discouraged, that you still have a long time ahead of you, and that you are still young. Finally, he patted Luo Ya on the shoulder, pulled him up, and scolded the people around him, saying things like, "Can't you wait like your senior brother?"

They are all used to it.

But the current situation is different from before.

Chapter 264 The New Sword God?

When the two swung their second swords at the same time, it was Gal who was the first to fall.

The students considered him an omnipotent sword god.

Nina stared wide-eyed, her azure eyes filled with disbelief.

Alice wore a smug expression, while Rudyus wore an "I knew it" look.

Kyrie Irvine remained expressionless.

Garr was taken aback.

Even when he lost, Gard couldn't understand why he had lost.

He sheathed his sword faster than his opponent and timed it perfectly, striking first in a pitifully short amount of time.

No matter how you look at it, there's only one outcome to their mutual sparring.

That means Gar will win, and Roya will be eliminated prematurely due to his minor mistake.

However, reality always likes to play tricks.

Gar looked up at the boy standing to the side, his face showing a hint of bitterness.

The boy, bathed in sunlight, had golden hair that swayed slightly in the autumn breeze. Roya stood there, tall and straight, and the boy's shadow reminded Gar of his own youth.

It seems that he was standing there at that time, defeating the Sword God with his longsword, and accepting the title of Sword God with a smile as the opponent looked dejected. At that time, he was as spirited as Roya.

No, I might be even more arrogant then, maybe I'll say some sarcastic things, and the corners of my mouth will curve up even wider.

In short, I wouldn't have been as calm as the boy in front of me back then.

Garr stood up, and in that instant, he seemed to have aged several years. His spine no longer stood straight. Garr walked up to Roya and said, "How should I put it? Congratulations. You've successfully surpassed me."
