Chapter 5 Frostmoon Village: Sauron's Advice
Tea room.
It’s so pleasant to sit opposite each other, drinking tea and drinking.
However, just the moment Lin Mo drank a cup of wine.
Suddenly, the sword was full of intent in the tea room, and a powerful invisible sword energy spread out with Lin Mo as the center to stir between these small inches, fleeting in a flash.
Koshiro's originally smiling face was frozen because of the sudden appearance of the sword energy that made him feel slightly oppressed.
His fingers holding the teacup couldn't help but tighten, and even his eyes looked at Lin Mo changed.
Koshiro said in surprise, "Your swordsmanship seems to have improved just now..."
Although I don’t know what happened, Koshiro can be sure that Lin Mo is now, compared with Lin Mo who competed with Guina before, whether in kendo or mastery of swordsmanship, it is no longer the same level!
This kid is indeed a swordsman.
After thinking about it, Koshiro couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me who taught your sword skills?"
“Self-taught.”
"Self-study? Then, do you have no teacher yet?"
"Um."
"Without anyone's guidance, how did you practice swords?"
“Nothing to be told.”
Koshiro was not the kind of person who could follow the truth. He then smiled and said, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask more. I have a suggestion, why don't you stay in the temple? Not only can you drink wine, I can also teach you sword skills."
In fact, when Lin Mo said that he had no master, Geng Siro was already moved.
It is really rare to meet a child as talented as Lin Mo, so he naturally doesn't want to let him go easily.
"No." Lin Mo refused, "I am a traveler and I won't stay in the same place for too long."
"Traveler?" Koshiro was stunned. "Your talent is just a traveler. It's a waste of talent. If you are willing to stay, I can teach you all my life. I believe that with your talent, you can definitely start your career in the shortest time, and it's not too late to continue to be a traveler at that time."
"No, I appreciate your kindness." Lin Mo still maintained his original attitude, and also rejected Koshiro with the words he had rejected before. "I am not interested in the inheritance of the swordsmanship, or becoming a great swordsman who everyone admires. For me, my dream is just to be a free and unrestrained traveler, that's all."
Koshiro asked again unwillingly: "Are you really unwilling to stay?"
Lin Mo nodded firmly: "Yes."
Seeing that he couldn't tell him anymore, Koshiro had no choice, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't persuade you to stay anymore. How long do you plan to stay in Shuangyue Village this time?"
Lin Mo thought about it and found that the total sign-in progress is only 30%. According to Fengchong Town’s previous sign-in experience, it is estimated that it is unlikely to end smoothly without ten days and half a month: "About half a month."
Hearing this, Koshiro picked up the teacup and drank it, and continued, "There is no hotel in the village. Before you leave, stay in the dojo."
"Okay." Lin Mo had no objection.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Geng Silang arranged a room for Lin Mo, and by the way, someone gave him all the wine he promised to give Lin Mo.
After putting all the fifteen half-person-high wine jars into the system space, Lin Mo was preparing to go for a walk in Murakami when he saw it was still early.
Just walked into the yard.
He felt a murderous aura coming from behind him.
Go sideways to avoid a wave of attacks.
Facing the moonlight, after seeing the person who was attacking him with his iconic green short hair, Lin Mo easily hit Zoro holding two bamboo swords to the ground with a single blow.
"Damn it!" Zoro climbed up from the ground, "Guina will lose to you. It must be your chance to win. If it is a man, pick up the sword. I want to challenge you! If I win, you will return the word "Hedao" to Guina!"
Lin Mo: "..."
What is this?
Lin Mo was speechless.
He didn't want to pay attention to Zoro.
But when he turned and left.
Zoro held two bamboo swords and attacked him again: "Ha--take it!"
Just like before, even though Lin Mo did not face Zoro, he still easily avoided Zoro's various attacks, and finally hit him to the ground with a hand knife.
When he left for the third time, Zoro once again got up from the ground and rushed towards him.
Lin Mo was a little annoyed.
Was this guy so annoying when he was a kid?
"If you defeat you with a sword, you won't bother me, right?" Lin Mo pulled out Toyako and easily blocked Zoro's moves. At the same time, he also discovered that Zoro was indeed a little stronger than Guina in terms of strength alone, but in terms of skills and insight, the gap between the two was a bit big.
No wonder this guy can't beat Guina.
Lin Mo didn't think about it anymore, just like Guina usually fights against Zoro, and directly hit Zoro in the face with a sword.
Zoro fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground, facing his back.
Lin Mo put away Lake Toya and prepared to leave.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Zoro clenched his fists and was unwilling to accept it: "Damn it! It's obviously about the same age, why is he so strong! Why?"
The lucky mentality that existed at the beginning disappeared.
He thought Lin Mo won Guina by taking advantage of tricks, but now it seems that he was wrong.
Lin Mo is really strong!
Get up from the ground again.
Zoro looked at Lin Mo's back as he walked farther and stopped talking, clenched his fists tightly, and finally couldn't help but chase after him: "Hey, wait a moment."
"Hmm?" Lin Mo turned his head and looked at him.
Zoro asked directly: "How long have you been practicing sword?"
"Not less than half a day."
"Half, half day?" Zoro swallowed secretly, "How could a half day have such a powerful sword technique!"
At this moment, the first thing he thought of was Lin Mo was fooling him, but for some reason, this guy didn't feel like a person full of lies.
Lin Mo didn't care whether others believed it or not: "Believe it or not, I'll leave first."
Seeing Lin Mo leaving, Zoro immediately caught up and blocked him: "I didn't say I didn't believe it, but I was just surprised. That... Can you tell me how you practice swordsmanship? I also want to be such a powerful person as you!"
Lin Mo didn't expect Zoro would ask him for swordsmanship.
But when he thought of Zoro's entanglement of him just now, if he left without saying anything, this guy would definitely not give up easily.
Since that's the case, it's better to give that guy some advice and let that guy think about it yourself, so that he can spend the rest of his life quietly.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo said, "How long have you been in Yixin Temple?"
"It's almost a year!"
"The result of a year of learning is to rush forward recklessly and knock down the opponent with brute force?"
"Ah, this..." Zoro was a little panicked.
Lin Mo continued: "Do you know why you can't beat Guina all the time?"
"I, I don't know. I've obviously worked very hard, but I just can't beat her...Do you know why?"
"Your battle has no skills." Lin Mo said without hesitation, "In terms of strength, you are comparable to Guina now using the double sword flow. Even if your strength is far greater than her in the future, she can still defeat you with superb sword skills. From the beginning, your direction is half wrong."
"Half wrong?" Zoro asked hurriedly, "What should I do to defeat Guina?"
"With the premise of practicing basic skills, you have to improve your sword skills. Don't just use brute force to rush forward recklessly. You have to think about your opponent's attack routine and deal with moves when you see them. As long as you are strong enough, you can find flaws even if you have a perfect sword move."
Just as he finished saying this.
‘Didi! Guide Zoro’s swordsmanship, sign-in progress is 20%, the current total progress is 50%. Reward swordsmanship level 1, the current swordsmanship level is lv4.’
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately felt the change in his body's power, and a more powerful and terrifying aura emanated.
really...
To complete the sign-in progress, you still have to be with the key figures. It can be seen from the sign-in progress that has increased by 20% by guiding Zoro's swordsmanship.
"What was that just now?" At this moment, Zoro's voice came, "Is it an illusion? I seem to feel an indescribable sense of depression..."
Lin Mo glanced at Zoro.
He is worthy of being the great swordsman who will become the left and right hands of One Piece Luffy in the future.
After shifting the topic back, Lin Mo asked, "Do you understand what I told you just now?"
Zoro came to his senses, scratched his head, and said ignorantly: "It is to think about and analyze the opponent's moves, and then find the flaws to defeat him, right?"
"In real battles, the enemy won't give you a lot of time to analyze his moves."
"Ah? Then what should I do?"
"I understand it myself." Speaking of this, Lin Mo suddenly asked, "Do you believe there is a sword in this world that can cut everything?"
Zoro was stunned for a moment, his eyes shining: "Is there really such a sword?"
Lin Mo's lips curled slightly and he picked up Zoro's bamboo sword: "Look at it."
At this time, a gust of wind blew.
A leaf floats.
Lin Mo cut the bamboo sword at the leaf.
When the leaf fell to the ground intact, Zoro couldn't help but complain: "A bamboo sword wants to cut off the leaves? How could this be..."
Lin Mo chuckled, not explaining anything.
At this time, there was a cracking sound, and a human-high stone instantly shattered and scattered all over the ground not far from the leaves.
Chapter completed!
