Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

"slow!"

"quick!"

"slow!"

"quick!"

The boy was panting heavily, sweat dripping down his face.

[The Sword Demon's Blessing]

His protection worked.

For every curse that Ryan receives, he also receives a blessing.

The Sword Demon's Blessing was something he obtained in exchange for the Curse of Muscle Weakness. Through this blessing, he was able to train different sword techniques.

The alternation between fast and slow movements is filled with rhythm and passion. The originally noble and proud Lu Ming swordsmanship has changed under the rhythm of the fast and slow blades and the tutelage of the Sword Demon.

On the first day alone, the progress increased from 0.1 to 0.2.

【The True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.2)】

The sword that has been passed down for thousands of years—

Having witnessed countless instances of extreme speed, Lu Ming's swordsmanship had never experienced such a wondrous rhythm of alternating fast and slow movements, and it lasted for such an extended period.

[That noble sword intent stirred slightly, yet remained indifferent.]

Someone like Lu Ming, with her swordsmanship, is like a sheltered young lady from a thousand-year-old family, stuck in her ways, noble and arrogant.

To master this swordsmanship, you'll be able to fly like a giant brick.

"Slow down, fast, full speed, sprint, sprint, sprint!"

The next day, he replaced his original small, fine silver sword with a broad-bladed straight sword. The width and length were both at a medium level. Although it required more effort, the effect was also more powerful.

Although Ryan's strength was not up to the standard, it was still enough for him to practice his swordsmanship.

【The True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.3)】

[The ultimate speed, the answer of the sword, the sword that chases the light—]

[In that alternating fast and slow motion of the broad blade]

Lost in pleasure, it temporarily forgot its thousand-year-old aristocratic heritage.

"Give me a greatsword!"

On the third day, Ryan stopped using the broadsword and switched to the Dragon Gold Longsword.

This is the sword used exclusively by Lu Ming in his swordsmanship, and its weight has reached a new level once again.

The material is no longer mithril, but the more expensive dragon gold, and the blade is inlaid with various amplification gems.

Add a grainy texture.

The nobleman's longsword sliced ​​through the air, making a whooshing sound, and then exploded again and again.

【The True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.4)】

[The ultimate speed, the answer of the sword, the sword that chases the light—]

Before the longsword of the boy Ryan Lumin,

It can't distinguish its truest self.

Finally, the fourth day arrived, which was also the last day before the duel.

it's time.

Ryan stopped practicing alone against thin air and had Miss Jasmine practice with him using the 'real Lu Ming sword technique'.

The two men, each with their own sword, one in front of the other, began their double attack!

Double flight!

Chapter 6 Strengthening

Strengthen sword techniques.

Ryan and Miss Jasmine exchanged blows, one fast and the other slow, one slow and the other fast, one sword thrusting out while the other retracted, sparks flying from the clash of their swords, creating a cacophony of crackling sounds.

[Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.4→0.45)]

【The Sword That Chases the Light】

[The sword techniques of that thousand-year-old noble family]

[Under the combined attack of the two swords, things gradually became strange.]

On this last day, he didn't do any more basic training. Instead, he started practicing right when his sword energy was at its peak and his energy was at its highest!

They used potions to recover from morning until noon, and then continued until night.

Take medicine when you're tired.

For a full ten hours, they were honing their sword techniques.

[Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.45→0.49)]

The long history of this powerful sword has altered its swordplay.

But that noble will has not yielded.

The sword form submitted, but the sword intent did not yield!

Lu Ming's swordsmanship has both sword form and sword intent. Its sword intent is awe-inspiring, righteous, bright, and noble, even though Ryan corrupted its sword moves and forms, transforming it into a dark and private swordsmanship.

But that noble sword intent still remains, and its essence is still the sword that chases the light.

It has the form, but not the soul.

To truly transform oneself and create a completely new sword technique, one must also change the intent behind the sword.

Therefore, in addition to sparring with Miss Jasmine, Ryan began to use other auxiliary items.

For example, fake fencing targets.

In short, it is called dummy target practice.

The fencing target is not like a traditional fixed target that remains motionless. Instead, it uses a swinging joint structure that is magically driven to achieve rapid shaking or angular shifts, simulating the opponent's dodging and retreating movements to achieve the most realistic combat experience.

He used twenty dummy targets in one go, turned the power up to the maximum, and started them all!

The dummy targets were arranged in a circle around each other.

The swaying can be fast or slow, rapid or gentle.

Together with Miss Jasmine, he used the 'True Lu Ming Sword Technique' to attack the fencing targets.

The latter, with its power set to maximum, also moved at its maximum frequency, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. The sky was filled with fake targets, making it feel like being on the most realistic battlefield.

The slightest mistake could lead to failure.

We must strike at the vital points with the utmost precision.

After four days of training, Ryan's mental strength reached its peak, and his sword saint consciousness transcended his physical body at this moment.

His bright golden eyes reflected the shape, swaying arc, and trajectory of each dummy target. He took a deep breath and charged forward with his sword!

Hit the first one, hit the second one, hit the third one... Not enough, not enough!

By altering the form of sword moves and rewriting the trajectory of the sword, slow moves become slower, and fast moves become faster...

Surprisingly, it even fooled the magical machine.

Lawrence's condition for Ryan was that he must stab Helen Assyria with his sword, just like taking the enemy general from the midst of a vast army to shoot at a target. This is far from enough!

The longsword collided with the dummy target repeatedly, generating sparks and producing a piercing sword cry!

The sword intent gradually awakened in the collision with the dummy target!

[The ultimate speed, the sword that chases the light, the answer of the sword, a noble family with a thousand-year-old heritage, the noble and chaste Lu Ming sword technique—]

Facing twenty dummy targets

Deep within its sword intent, something filthy is sprouting.

Ryan could feel the resistance and backlash from the sword intent.

At first, the sword strokes were clumsy and hesitant, but as more and more targets were broken, the sword strokes gradually became smoother, and the rhythm became increasingly rapid.

The backlash from the sword intent still lingered, and Lu Ming's sword emitted a piercing sword cry, but under that resistance, Ryan could feel a suppressed pleasure.

A typical swordsman can communicate with his sword and enhance himself through the sword's intent.

A powerful swordsman is one who can wield a powerful sword!

Strengthen your sword intent through your own power!

Four!

Ryan smashed four targets, and Lu Ming's swordsmanship became more and more skillful and intuitive. When the tip of his sword pierced the throat of the human-shaped target, wood chips exploded, and he seemed to see blood splattering everywhere and the head flying into the sky.

The sword intent resonates and blends within this.

Corrupt Lu Ming Sword Technique!

In the end, Ryan hit four dummy targets, while Miss Jasmine hit eight.

As Ryan finished the last stroke, night had fallen, and all around was silent. The sky and earth were clear and bright. He drew the final stroke, and a joyful roar resounded in his heart.

It was as if the door to a new world had been opened, as if we had entered a completely new realm.

By the time Ryan came to his senses, the progress bar had finally reached the halfway point.

【The True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.5)】

[Under Ryan Lumin's mighty sword—]

[The ultimate speed, the sword that chases the light, the answer of the sword, the noble and chaste Lu Ming sword.]

[Under the alternating powerful swords of Ryan and Jasmine,]

It began to awaken to its true self.

As the sun swallowed the tombs of the mountains, the four days of hellish training came to an end.

He was halfway through the process, not because Ryan had poor talent in swordsmanship, but quite the opposite; he actually learned it at a glance.

His talent amazed even Miss Jasmine; he simply lacked the physical strength.

Even with the improved Lu Ming sword technique, he could only perform two moves with the Dragon Gold Longsword. If he were to switch to the lighter Mi Silver Sword, he might be able to perform a third of the moves.

However, if you use a Mithril Sword, it can no longer be considered the 'Sword of Light'.

Our ancestors said that only the Dragon Gold Sword can unleash the full power of sword techniques, and only the Dragon Gold Sword is worthy of using Lu Ming's swordplay.

Besides, having consumed a month's worth of medicine in four days and expended considerable resources, Ryan's level finally increased.

Ryan Lumin

[Parry Protection Lv1: Parry at the absolute limit, capable of defending against the vast majority of physical attacks]

【Blessing of Rolling Lv1: Perform a roll at the absolute limit to dodge most magical attacks】

[Level 8→9 (Tier 1)]

【Master Guangming (lv8)】

The mage's level remained unchanged, but...

[Oath Paladin (lv1, not sworn in)]

After four days and four nights of intense sword practice, he finally unlocked a new secondary profession: Oath Paladin, several years earlier than in the original story!

Starting earlier than the original, Ryan can reach a higher level than the original, as long as there are no interference from those players.

[Eden's first closed beta test remaining unlock time: three days]

Ryan can now see Eden's game forum posts; the first closed beta test will begin in three days, with ten players joining.

In this world, one player is enough.

Tomorrow is the duel with Helen. Soaking in the medicine tub, Ryan gazes at the moonlight outside the window and reveals a sunny and cheerful smile.
