Chapter 843 Sauron’s Training
"Ha!"
"No, the strength is still too much, come again!"
The whole morning passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, Zoro was surrounded by broken newspapers. He had not succeeded once in the whole morning, and he could not even see the slightest progress. He had already restrained his efforts to chop, but the blade was still cutting easily. Broken newspaper, if Jack hadn't shown his hand just now, he would have even thought that the other party was playing tricks on him.
"Stop and relax, you're starting to get anxious."
Jack looked at Zoro who was obviously resentful when wielding the knife and said that the training of controlling strength is extremely boring and requires patience. This is a kind of training that requires concentration to complete. In addition to the control of the body, the most important thing is The most important thing is your own inner training.
"Hoo, ho, ho."
It was clear that he was just swinging the knife, but Zoro felt more tired than he had been training all morning. The sweat had completely soaked his shirt, making it sticky and sticky to his body. It was very uncomfortable, and he had no time to care about this. He just wanted to lie down. Resting on the ground feels so strange.
"Tired, right?"
Jack asked as he sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up a bottle of mineral water and threw it to Zoro.
"Yes, I seem to have never been so tired."
Zoro took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap with trembling fingers and drank half of the bottle, then poured the rest on his head, hoping that the wind would cool him down.
"Because you are fighting against yourself, you feel tired. If you are just swinging a knife, I think you will not have any problem if you swing it for a whole day, because you are controlling your own power, which is equivalent to your own Fighting your own instinct, that’s why it’s so difficult to fight your own instinct.”
Jack never expected Zoro to succeed in one day. If Zoro could succeed now, then Jack would tie Zoro up on the spot and call Kaido and Lily, because this kind of peerless genius is too rare. Kaido and Lily couldn't do such a thing.
"No wonder, I feel like my arms are going to cramp."
Zoro gritted his teeth and looked at his trembling arms and said, this feeling is too weird. Every time he swings the knife, he doesn't feel satisfied enough. I'm afraid he can't even kill a fish with this kind of swing, right?
"You haven't understood the true meaning of this training yet. You are actively controlling your power and fighting against yourself. This is why you are tired. What you need to do is not to control, but to turn it into instinct. , you need to identify with this matter from the bottom of your heart, feel the breathing of your body, feel the breathing of every cell, every muscle, and even every hair. Only in this way can you truly control your own power. ”
Jack began to explain this feeling as much as possible, although it was indeed difficult. It took Jack a long time to control it, and it took even longer to be able to use it in combat.
"I don't understand."
Zoro said very strangely. He really didn't understand. He didn't understand these mysterious things in the first place. Is it really possible to use a real knife without cutting off the newspaper?
"Have you rested?"
At this time Koushiro came over and asked with a smile.
"Well, let's take a rest. Zoro is upset and is no longer suitable to continue training."
Jack nodded. The strength of the person in front of him was very good. Although he was not as good as theirs, he was still a swordsman. As for not being able to compare with Hiyori, it was nothing. After all, before they came out, Hiyori fought against Lily for the last time. At that time, Hiyori could hold on for five minutes in front of Lily who had not transformed. This is something that many people cannot do! Even if Lily hasn't transformed, she is still the world's greatest swordsman in terms of swordsmanship. Mihawk once couldn't even stand in front of Lily for five minutes. At least now Hiyori has surpassed Mihawk of the same age by a lot. .
"It's okay to be impatient. In addition to the physical body, the most important thing in swordsmanship is to cultivate the mind. To a certain extent, the more powerful you are, the more important it is to cultivate the mind."
Koushiro sat cross-legged and said with a smile, and Jack immediately guessed the purpose of Koshiro's visit. He came to remind Zoro, so Jack did not answer. He wanted to know what else Koushiro wanted to say.
"Teacher, but is this really possible? If you use a real knife to cut a newspaper, unless the knife is too dull to be used, how could it not be able to cut it?"
Zoro looked at Koushiro and complained a little. "Really? How about I give it a try."
Koushiro stood up with a smile and took out Wado Ichimonji from his waist. Zoro knew about this sword. It was a serious treasure sword of the great industry twenty-one. Compared with his two ordinary knives, I don’t know how much stronger.
Koushiro picked up a newspaper and threw it in the air. Looking at the falling newspaper, Koushiro calmly clasped his hands and said Ichimonji, and then. . .
"Ha!"
"Crack!"
There was a sound like being slapped on a newspaper, and the newspaper was blown away by Hedao Yiwen, but there were no scratches on it.
"Teacher! You must have cheated. You were photographed on top!"
Zoro pointed at Koushiro and shouted.
"It's not true~ I just chopped it on it normally. If you don't believe it, I can perform it again."
As Koushiro spoke, he picked up a few newspapers again and threw them in the air. Then there was a crackling sound. None of the newspapers were torn. Zoro was sure this time that he had read it correctly. Koushiro did. It was chopped on top, but it wasn't broken.
"How did you do it? Teacher?"
Zoro is somewhat aware of Koushiro's strength. He can cut a newspaper himself, let alone Koushiro. This thing can be cut with just a few cuts. If it is silk and satin, it can be said that he has no skills and the blade is not sharp enough to cut it. But this is a newspaper, something that a child can easily tear into pieces.
"Zoro, originally I didn't want to talk to you so early, but now that you have started training, I will tell you directly. Sometimes the more you can't cut anything, the more you can cut anything. , this is the power of breathing. Everything in the world has breathing, even a stone or a piece of steel. As long as you master the opponent's breathing, you can choose whether to chop or not at any time. The same is true for steel. There are swordsmen who can cut iron, and there are not many of them.”
After Koushiro finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the gym without stopping, as if he had done an insignificant thing, while Zoro was lost in thought.
"Can you chop it open? Can you chop it open? Feel the breathing of your body and the breathing of all things?"
Zoro began to think about what Jack and Koushiro said. Both of them mentioned breathing. If it was his own breathing, he would feel it every day, but was it just the breathing of the nose and lungs, the breathing of the body?
"You have a good teacher."
Jack looked at Koushiro's back and said.
"Thank you, I think your teacher must be good too."
Zoro hadn't figured out the reason yet, so he just lowered his head and said something perfunctory. What he didn't expect was that this sentence directly hit Jack's nerves.
"No! Let me tell you! My teacher! That is my adoptive father! Mr. Kaido is an extremely great man! He is the strongest person in the world! The best man!... ”
Jack grabbed Zoro and started talking, but poor Zoro was ruthlessly interrupted just as he started to think. It was the first time that he knew that Jack still had such a side.
