"Yes, this is an improvement in swordsmanship skills, without any internal energy enhancement. But unfortunately, just having the key points is not enough; continuous practice is necessary."
Keqing opened her eyes. Although she hadn't experienced Zoro's feeling just now, she vaguely realized that everything in the world has a breath. If she could find a weakness through this, her swordsmanship would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Nutcracker and Wendy weren't concerned about this, firstly because they didn't use swords, and secondly because the chapters in Book 4 were more interesting.
This volume takes us to the Sky Island, which is the most bizarre and fantastical adventure.
After leaving Alabasta, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Mock Town after many adventures. There they encountered Blackbeard and Bellamy. When Kurumi saw Luffy being berserk and not fighting back, she immediately looked at Su Han angrily and said, "Why did you draw Luffy like that? Why isn't he fighting back? That kind of punk should be easy to defeat!"
Wendy, Xingqiu, and Zhongli all looked at Su Han at the same time, wanting to hear his answer.
Su Han burst into laughter and said, "There's absolutely no need to get involved with someone who has no dreams!"
These words drew applause and praise from the crowd.
"So that's how Luffy and Zoro think. They really have the aura of great men. In their eyes, people without dreams are just a pile of rubbish! They would only feel that taking action would dirty their hands. They're so cool!"
At this moment, Hu Tao finally understood Su Han's intention and liked the comic book in her hand even more.
Chapter 129 A person's dream will never end! Su Han, with the dragon vein...
Suppressing the demon
The crowd, who had just been feeling sentimental, were soon struck by the Adventure King's lines once again.
That was when Luffy and Zoro were taken to the street by Nami. This scene was witnessed by the man who was arguing with Luffy in the tavern. The man sat on the ground, drinking and laughing.
"What those guys are saying about the new era is all bullshit."
"What do you mean the era of adventurers dreaming is over?"
"Hahaha. But people's dreams never end, right?"
"Let them laugh. Everyone encounters times when they can't find a reason to throw a punch if they want to reach the top!!!"
Although the other party and Luffy did not get along, what they said was quite shocking.
Xingqiu couldn't help but exclaim, "People's dreams never end, right? That's so true. As long as someone has a dream, they will never give up."
Keqing: "That's right! Giving up and giving up so easily doesn't deserve the title of adventurer!"
Gan Yu: "Although this person is somewhat annoying, what he said is absolutely right. It is undeniable that once a person loses their dreams and pursuits, they are just like a walking corpse."
Hu Tao: "I really want to know if those adventurers will jump up in excitement when they see this?"
Everyone smiled upon hearing this, finding it entirely plausible, since the other party had spoken the minds of the adventurers.
The story quickly reached its climax when Luffy and his crew, guided by a passerby, found Kurike, a descendant of the notorious liar Roland, who had been diving continuously to prove his ancestor was not lying.
During her conversation with Luffy, Kurike was gradually moved by Luffy's persistence and even told him how to get to Skypiea. Who would have thought that getting to Skypiea would involve riding the rising sea current, and if it failed, there would only be death!
Faced with this situation, Luffy did not hesitate at all and immediately said that he must go to Skypiea to take a look. Afterwards, they modified the Going Merry and, with the help of the Saruyama Alliance, headed to that sea area.
Amidst the terrifying, towering torrent of water, Luffy and his crew, along with the Going Merry, soared into the sky. In the massive double-page spread, they hurtled upwards at an incredible speed, and then a breathtaking scene unfolded.
There really is an island above the clouds!!!
There's even a kingdom of gods!!!
And that's the end of the comic.
"My God, this is so beautiful!! It's the Kingdom of Gods!"
"Are there islands even above a sea of clouds thousands of miles in the sky? And waterfalls too?"
"Who could possibly climb up there? But Bellamy and the others probably don't know, right? The Sky Island is real!!!"
"This comic is really good. When will Su Han's next volume be updated?"
Facing the gazes of everyone, Su Han glanced at the system and said with a wry smile, "It'll probably take a few days."
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao immediately slumped onto the table, looking pitiful, and said, "I really want to see the next volume soon!"
"Me too"
Although Xingqiu likes martial arts, this comic made him so excited that he couldn't stop reading.
However, since the comic could not be updated, everyone left one after another, and the lively courtyard gradually quieted down.
Liyue Streets.
With the simultaneous release of Volumes 3 and 4, the streets and alleys gradually became lively, especially those who had registered as adventurers, who excitedly discussed the plot of the comics with their friends.
"Human dreams never end!!!"
"Exactly! Someone like Bellamy would never understand Luffy and his crew's grand dreams!!!"
"You guys are looking at a real floating island???"
"Holy crap, are there really islands high in the sky? And waterfalls too?! Damn Boss Su, why did you stop updating again?! I want to see the epic adventure on the sky islands!!!"
"I really want to kidnap Boss Su and make him draw comics like crazy."
"Don't dream about it. Don't you know how many guards are at Boss Su's door? Their fists are bigger than a clay pot."
"Hehe, I was just joking."
These excited fans are just the tip of the iceberg; the truly intense response comes from the Adventurers' Guild.
As they listened to those resounding lines, the adventurers felt their hearts resonate with the message. It was because their dreams never ceased that they were determined to become great adventurers.
Even though they were misunderstood and despised, they never gave up on their dreams. This comic is almost the greatest recognition of their lives, and countless adventurers have shed tears after reading it.
Even Sister Lan couldn't escape it, but after crying, she turned to Xinming and said, "Arrange funds to buy comics immediately. I think adventurers need it to encourage them."
"Understood, boss. I'll go right away."
Although Xinming is already forty years old, he was still moved to tears by the comic, because he is also an adventurer.
The comic book sales are rising at an alarming rate, with 20,000 copies sold in just one morning. This doesn't even include the 40,000 copies Su Han gave to Wendy and the 12,000 copies Xing Qiu received.
"We really have to thank True Lord Liuyun and Borrowing Wind; otherwise, the consumption of blank paper alone would have been a terrifying figure, tsk tsk."
After the guests left, Su Han printed another batch of stock. Then he rode the Jade Bamboo Flute into the sky. Since Zhong Li had taken the initiative to come, he naturally couldn't slack off. At the same time, he had another idea waiting to be tested.
Leaving Liyue Harbor and flying along the official road towards Wangshu Inn, Su Han discovered that the official road was almost completed. With the addition of cement, the construction speed had increased more than a hundredfold, and it was estimated that the official road would be put into use in another week.
As for the new city of Guiliyuan, many buildings are gradually taking shape, and some businesses and adventurers' associations have even started to move in. The speed is really fast.
A few minutes later, Su Han arrived at Wangshu Inn, where the owner immediately came out to greet him.
"You've arrived, sir."
Is the immortal here?
"Reporting to Your Excellency, there seemed to be a burst of cold air upstairs yesterday. The immortal is most likely present, but he may not be in good condition. Should we come back in a few days?"
"No need, I came here specifically to suppress the problem of the immortals."
After Su Han finished speaking, he walked upstairs, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard Xiao's cold voice coming from inside.
"Get out of my way, don't disturb me!!!"
"Is it a karmic retribution erupting? Don't be afraid, I have a treasure that can help you suppress it."
At this moment, Xiao's condition was very bad. His eyes were replaced by blood red, and his whole body was enveloped in black aura. If he could not suppress it, he might fall into demonic possession at any time.
Just as the Great Sage who subdued demons was about to curse, a clear ripple seeped in from outside the door, and the immortal, whose consciousness had been gradually becoming hazy, suddenly regained his senses.
The scene was so miraculous that Xiao was stunned. He looked at the karmic obstacles that had disappeared and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What is it that can suppress karmic energy that even the Emperor couldn't handle?"
Su Han held the dragon vein and waited quietly at the door. After a moment, he heard footsteps, and as the door opened, Xiao appeared in front of him.
The other person looked at the object in his hand with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is this? Why can it suppress the karmic power within me?"
Are you alright now?
"Yes, I suddenly felt much clearer-headed, all thanks to you. Please come inside and sit down, although there's no tea."

Chapter 130 The idea of using the dragon vein to suppress the giant rock abyss, Hu Tao asked...
Zhongli eats seafood (Fourth update)
Although Xiao is not good at communicating with people, he still knows how to be grateful for the help he received.
Upon arriving at the immortal's room and sitting down, Su Han found it to be very simple: a bed, a set of tables and chairs, a screen, and nothing else.
"May I see what you have in your hand?"
"no problem."
Su Han handed over the dragon vein, and Xiao was surprised to find that the karmic obstacles in his body had disappeared. What on earth was this thing that was so magical?
Seeing the immortal's surprised expression, Su Han smiled and said, "It's a dragon vein, which not only suppresses evil energy but also can suppress earth veins!"
Xiao raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Dragon vein? Never heard of it, but I can feel immense power within it—vast, warm, and peaceful. It's truly amazing!"
This was the first time he had ever seen such a miraculous object. Just touching it could suppress the karmic obstacles within his body. If he wore it for a long time, he estimated that his problems would be completely eliminated.
Thinking of this, Xiao's face relaxed a little. After all, there was always the risk of becoming a demon, and he was worried that it might harm ordinary humans. Now that he had the blessing of the dragon vein, he no longer needed to worry.
Su Han smiled and said, "As long as it's useful to you, that's fine. I have another request, if I may ask, would you mind if we could talk?"
"Speak up, you have done me a great favor, and I will never refuse if I can do it."
"That's right. As I just mentioned, the dragon vein has the powerful ability to suppress the earth's veins! Not long ago, I saw at Ningguang's place that the problem of the Layered Rock Abyss has not been solved yet, so I was thinking if you could go there to suppress it for a while? Actually, you don't need to do anything. Just stay on the first level with the dragon vein."
"You want to see if the dragon vein can suppress the giant rock abyss?"
"Yes, this treasure is of extraordinary significance. It was once able to suppress the fortune of the Nine Provinces. It would be a waste to use it only to eliminate your karmic obstacles. So I was thinking of suppressing the Layered Rock Abyss as well!"
"Hmm, that makes sense. But what will happen to the problems of Dihua Isle if I leave? Monsters appear here every so often."
Xiao did not refuse, but he did raise a question.
The ancient war between the demons and gods left many corpses underground in Liyue, and monsters were born from this. If he leaves, Dihua Island will be left unattended.
