Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

In places that cannot be seen...

For some unknown reason, Guina's face suddenly flushed red. She quickly lowered her head, drank her juice, and didn't ask any more questions.

As Ron sipped his juice, his mind was absorbed in the description of the permanent buff.

The true meaning of being tempered and refined: As long as you put your heart into everything, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

When the host dedicates themselves to a task with seriousness and focus, and puts in the effort, this buff can be activated, resulting in twice the results with half the effort.

"To double the results of cultivation..."

Ron was beginning to understand the effect of this permanent buff.

Take his sword practice as an example.

Practicing swordsmanship for a day will earn you ten swordsmanship experience points.

But now if we can activate this buff...

You can gain 20 swordsmanship experience points by practicing swordsmanship for half a day!

"It's a useful buff. If I can use it well, it can greatly accelerate the speed at which I become stronger."

Ron thought to himself, feeling somewhat pleased.

"Ron, Ron."

Kuina's soft call brought him back to his senses.

"what happened?"

Ron looked up at her first.

"Guina lowered her head and said in a low voice."

"The people at that table seemed to be watching us the whole time."

Ron looked over and found that it was indeed the case.

The four burly men at the table, their shoulders and faces covered in tattoos, were drinking and whispering among themselves, occasionally letting out a sinister laugh and glancing in their direction.

That gaze... seemed to be looking at two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Ron's eyes instantly turned cold.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the four exchanged glances.

Then a bald man with a fierce look on his face, wearing a vest, and with high-bridged muscles stood up and walked towards them.

He walked to the table for the two people.

He slammed his hand on the table, leaned close to Ron, and said fiercely:

"Hey kid, what are you looking at? Do you even know who I am? Believe me or I'll gouge your eyes out?!"

"That kid's done for. He actually messed with that guy Lute. I heard that guy used to be a member of the Sig Mountain Bandits."

"He didn't do anything wrong, he just glanced at it twice. I think it's that guy Lute who's after his money."

The people at the next table whispered among themselves.

Ron glanced at the fierce-looking bald man in front of him, then looked at Kuina opposite him and said, "Want to practice?"

Guina was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously at him.

"Hmm."

Veins bulged on bald-headed Lute's forehead, and his three companions at the table said impatiently, "Isn't it ready yet, Lute?"

"They're just two kids, do they really need this much time?"

"Make them hand over all the money right away."

"I don't need you to tell me!"

"I'm so angry," said Bald Root, then his eyes hardened and he reached out to grab Ron, who had a calm expression on his face.

The tavern waiter, his face covered in cold sweat, approached:

"Um, Mr. Lute, it's best not to get rough in the tavern, or I'll get yelled at by the boss again..."

"Get out of my way! I'm going to teach this arrogant brat a lesson today!"

Bald Root shoved him aside and continued grabbing at Ron.

Keng!

It was accompanied by a crisp sound of being drawn from its sheath.

Bald Root's hand, which was reaching for the black-haired boy, stopped in mid-air.

Under the gaze of everyone in the tavern.

A long, gleaming blade was pressed against the neck of the bald man named Lute.

And the one holding the hilt of the knife.

It was that slender girl with short blue hair.

Kuina's sharp gaze swept over the bald-headed Lute, whose forehead was beaded with cold sweat:

"Take one more step and don't blame me for being impolite."

Bald-headed Lute stared at the cold, sharp light reflected from the blade, swallowed hard, and took a few steps back.

29. The stunned crowd witnessed the effect of the permanent buff after activation (3/5)

Once we were out of the knife's attack range...

"Scared me."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the next second his expression turned fierce. "Brothers, grab your weapons!"

The three men at the table kicked over the table in front of them, each took out a weapon, and walked to the side of the bald man, Rut.

"You dare to point your blade at me? You've got some nerve. You're really serious, aren't you? Fine! If I don't teach you two brats a lesson today, I'll change my name! Get him!"

Bald-headed Lute picked up a large knife and slashed at Kuina.

Kuina was somewhat excited. After telling Ron, "Don't interfere," she picked up the Wado Ichimonji and faced off against the four of them.

The other patrons in the tavern either fled in panic or retreated far away, fearing they might accidentally get caught in the crossfire. Some, however, were simply watching the spectacle with glee.

"Bald Root is serious now, those two kids are doomed."

The tavern waiter stared at the broken tables and chairs, his face filled with despair.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to get a real scolding from Sister Makino. I should have known better than to let those two in."

After a while.

To everyone's surprise at the tavern.

The girl with short blue hair, facing an attack from four adult men who were armed and much larger than her, did not show any signs of being at a disadvantage.

He was even repeatedly struck by the back of the knife.

One person fell down.

The two fell down.

Bald-headed Lute took a vertical slash head-on, his hands trembling so violently he could barely hold onto his weapon.

"Do not make jokes!!"

He was covered in cold sweat.

"Is this the kind of strength a little girl should have?!"

"what!"

The third companion screamed and collapsed next to Bald Lute.

"You're the only one left."

Holding the Wado Ichimonji, Kuina, showing no signs of fatigue, looked at the bald-headed Lute and said.

He was sweating profusely and couldn't help but back away.

Sudden.

He glanced to his left and saw the dark-haired boy who had come with the girl drinking juice and eating something, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

A thought flashed through his mind in an instant.

He immediately pushed off with his feet and rushed towards the boy.

"Oh no, Ruth is going to capture her companion."

"That girl is powerful, but once her companion is captured, she will definitely be unable to make another move."

"What a despicable tactic!"

"This is Lute from the former Seagull Mountain Bandits. He's always been despicable and shameless."

"They're in for a world of trouble now."
