Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

From an outsider's perspective, Jiang Li just approached Xiao Xiao in a very ordinary way, and while he was in a daze, he cut off his left hand with a knife.

But the actual situation was that Wei Xiao's consciousness was misguided. While she was in a daze, she misjudged the timing of Jiang Li's knife swing. Before she could react, her wrist was cut off by Jiang Li's knife.

Jiang Li has been practicing sword for less than a year.

In less than a year, he spent 70% to 80% of his time on physical training and exploring his supernatural powers. Within a limited time, Jiang Li had already summed up several sword techniques including the Fleeting Light Sword.

It’s a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise his swordsmanship could be improved a lot and his realm could be even higher.

"Sure enough, my feeling was right."

Kurogane Ikki's eyes gradually became hotter.

From the moment they met, he knew that Jiang Li was of his kind. Both of them were extremely devoted to swordsmanship and were on the same path, like-minded people.

He couldn't even help but want to fight with Jiang Li right now, wanting to know his swordsmanship, understand the principles behind his sword, and verify what he had learned.

However, this was obviously not an appropriate occasion, so he suppressed his desire to fight.

"But why don't you just use the pumping technique?"

Kurogane Ikki suddenly realized the blind spot and couldn't help but ask Jiang Li again about the doubts in his heart.

Jiang Li was originally very happy to receive the praise from Kurogane Ikki, and his face was full of that "low-key, low-key" smile.

But as soon as Kurogane Ikki said this, the smile on Jiang Li's face disappeared instantly, and his expression became cold, as if he was angered by these words.

"Yes, Junior Brother, I was thinking of asking that too. Since you can create a sword technique like Fleeting Light and Shadow based on Pulling the Foot, why don't you just use Pulling the Foot? Or wouldn't it be better to use both together?"

Upon hearing this, Expired Loli had the same doubts.

"hehe."

Jiang Li sneered.

"I'm a very generous person."

"?"

Question marks appeared on both of their foreheads.

What does not using the pumping technique have to do with being generous?

"My feet don't want to move, and I certainly can't force them."

"...?"

"...!"

The two looked confused, then thought for a moment.

Ikki Kurogane suddenly remembered Jiang Li's performance in the judo class. No matter how the teacher taught him, his hands and feet were like fighting, and after half a day he couldn't even do a basic stance.

Kurogane Ikki suddenly understood.

"I understand, you can't learn—"

"——Bring~!"

The title of the book has been changed and the remuneration has been paid. Thank you for your comments and support.

Chapter 47: The Nameless Bling Knife

2023-06-01

A breeze blew.

The silver-white blade appeared before his eyes in the blink of an eye, causing Kurogane Ikki to swallow the next words unconsciously.

"Ikki-kun, please don't say things that are completely untrue."

Jiang Li looked at Kurotsuchi Ikki with a kind expression.

"……I see."

Kurogane Ikki swallowed his saliva, then nodded obediently.

The facts are indeed as Kurogane Ikki said.

It’s just like learning judo before. Even if you can see through its essence at a glance, you just can’t learn it or use it no matter what.

Jiang Li couldn't learn unique footwork like the Pu Zu move, but he still mastered the footwork inherent in swordsmanship.

It seems that he is basically bound to the sword in this life.

If you want to make yourself stronger, there is no other choice but to practice sword skills and go all the way.

Jiang Li's mentality is still very good. He knows the principle of being content with what he has, because he originally had average talent, but now he has an outstanding feature.

But mentality and face are two different things.

This kind of thing should only be known to family members. It would be very embarrassing if it was told to others.

After all, he is a talented swordsman. According to his master, he will reach the top of the world sooner or later. If people knew that he can't do anything, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

"Hahahahahaha! I get it! Junior brother, you don't know how to use the pumping technique, right? Hahahaha——!"

Kurogane Ikki was smart enough not to say anything, but Xijing Ningyin didn't care about his face at all. He held his stomach and laughed at him loudly.

"I thought you'd become incredibly strong when I saw you defeat the careless Hei. But it turns out you can't even learn a simple foot movement? Hahahaha! This is truly a masterpiece!"

As the most satisfied disciple of the Fighting God, Expired Loli can of course draw enough, and her drawing skills are quite perfect, much more skilled than Senior Sister Daohua, and she is qualified to say "it's just drawing enough".

She had used it on him once before when she was in Jiang Li's dormitory, but his intuition broke it, but she couldn't escape it.

Jiang Li: ()

Gan.

You shouldn't have said this in front of Expired Loli.

Obviously, even Senior Sister Daohua didn't know about this, but Expired Loli found out about it. She might be ridiculed again in the future.

It was during his rehabilitation last year that he gradually confirmed that he could not do anything other than swordsmanship. Before that, he only had a slight awareness of it. Apart from himself, the only person who knew about this was his master, the fighting god Nango Torajiro.

Now there are several more people involved, and another dark history has been exposed. I feel very angry.

"Ahem... Come on, your knife is so beautiful. What's its name?"

Seeing that Jiang Li's face was not very good, Kurotsuchi Ikki coughed lightly and quickly began to change the subject.

His intentions are good.

But when Jiang Li heard this, the corner of his eye twitched slightly and he glared at him.

"That knife has no name."

Expired Lolita had laughed enough, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a teasing look on her face: "But because it makes a 'Bling~' sound every time it is swung, the old man gave it a name, the Bling Knife."

"..."

Kurogane Ikki immediately understood why Jiang Li glared at him just now. No wonder he had never seen him call the knife by its name. Calling it "Bling Knife" was indeed a test of one's sense of shame.

but--

"What's with the lack of a name?"

In comparison, Ikki Kurogane cared more about what Xijing Ningyin said before.

"Logically speaking, wouldn't every swordsman naturally know the name of their inherent spiritual equipment after awakening their superpowers? After all, the inherent spiritual equipment is their own soul, so it makes no sense for them not to know its name, right?"

Yes.

The inherent spiritual equipment is formed after the soul is materialized. It is an ultra-high-density magic crystal, symbolizing the self and essence of the swordsman. As long as the superpowers are awakened, its true name will be known.

For example, Stella's two-handed sword is called Feilong Zuijian; his spiritual outfit is an ordinary sword called Yintie.

The expired loli's spiritual outfit is the iron fan she has always held in her hand, named "Bright Red Phoenix".

Jiang Li was very surprised that he didn't know the real name of his spiritual outfit.

"Brother Black Iron, have you ever heard of this?"

Xijing Ningyin closed the folding fan with a swish, patted the palm of his hand lightly, and the teasing expression on his face gradually subsided.

"Inherent spiritual gear is a manifestation of the self. Sometimes, if the swordsman changes himself, or discovers his true self, the shape of the inherent spiritual gear will also change accordingly."

"This one……"

Ikki Kurogane hesitated a little, as if he was recalling the past and searching for relevant knowledge in his mind.

indeed.

This rumor is not uncommon in the world of swordsmen, because spiritual equipment is a manifestation of the self. When the swordsman's self changes, the shape of the spiritual equipment will also evolve accordingly.

"——The reason why Junior Brother's spirit suit has no name, according to this old man's guess, is because he has not yet discovered his true self."

Xijing Ningyin gave him a meaningful look.

"Because it has no self, it has no name yet. In other words, if one day you discover your true self, you will know the true name of your spiritual suit—perhaps even your abilities will evolve. No, it should be said that you will discover your true abilities."

The Swordsman did not realize his own abilities from the beginning.

Take Xijing Ningyin as an example. When her ability to cut the sword just awakened, she thought that her ability was to make objects float. Later, she discovered that her ability was to control gravity.

The situation where Jiang Li didn't know the true name of his spiritual outfit was probably similar, because he hadn't discovered his true self and hadn't awakened his true sword-cutting ability.

To be more precise, the current "Absolute Speed" is probably just a superficial manifestation of Jiang Li's true sword-cutting ability, and there are even more powerful possibilities hidden in his body.

His true sword-fighting ability is still hidden in the fog deeper in his soul.

"I see, can you get even stronger..."

Kurogane Ikki understood something and cast an envious look at Jiang Li.

The ability of causal interference is only the external manifestation of the true superpower. If the true superpower of sword-cutting is awakened, then his ability will probably be further improved and become even more extraordinary.

Jiang Li touched the back of his head, feeling very unsure.

In fact, this is just Master Doushen’s guess at best, and it is hard to say whether the truth is true or not.

Of course, Jiang Li himself still hopes to have a more decent time travel plug-in.

Not to mention a system or something, at least it should allow me to travel through different worlds, right?

Jiang Li is confident that he can stand at the top of the world's strong men with just his swordsmanship, just like "the world's strongest swordsman Edward Weiss".

Give him more time. With his talent, even without relying on other cheats, he is confident that he can surpass Edwards.

But if I were to live my life again and be confined to this world, unable to appreciate the splendor of the heavens, that would be such a pity—if the heavens really exist.

To be honest, Jiang Li felt that the probability was still very high. After all, if the world of the Fallen Knight could exist, there was no reason why other worlds could not exist.

Chapter 48: The opponent of the first battle is decided

2023-06-01

Soon after, the police arrived at the scene and arrested all the terrorists, including Smile.

Neon has prisons specifically for detaining the Swordbreaker terrorists, which are located throughout the island country. However, in order to prevent any possible jailbreaks, their locations are very hidden. Not to mention student knights, even many professional knights don't know where those prisons are located.

After Smile is arrested, he will most likely be thrown into one of those prisons and will never be able to get out again.

"Please come and take the statement again."

Some older middle-aged policemen spoke very politely to Jiang Li and others.

Modern society is a world of swordsmen. Various systems such as police and war are built on the basis of swordsmen, so swordsmen have great power.

Even a police captain wouldn't show off his seniority in front of the student knights. Who knows if these kids will become his superiors after graduation.

However, rights and obligations are equal.

While the swordsmen have all kinds of conveniences, they must also bear corresponding responsibilities. Specifically, they must stand up and protect ordinary people when attacked by terrorists.

This is also the reason why the Alliance promotes knight education in the world of swordsmen. Swordsmen must be taught to cultivate a knight's heart from an early age so that they can develop such a sense of responsibility.

In some member countries, the alliance even directly trains the swordsmen as real knights. Neon has tried to promote this, but it has been obstructed.

The reason is free cooking.
