Chapter 51 Reading makes me happy (×), playing gym makes me happy (√)
The cold panel did not answer Adrian's doubts.
After some brief thought, Adrian did not intend to return to O'Hara immediately.
Although O'Hara owns the Omniscient Tree Library, which is known as "storing all the knowledge in the world", and it also has many books and scrolls recording swordsmanship knowledge, but the richest delicacies are often left to be tasted last, so that you will be more satisfied. Show the taste.
After a lot of effort, Adrian retrieved the homemade boat that had been lost in the aftermath of the battle. He followed the map instructions and slowly sailed towards the nearest island.
In this dangerous sea, most people are eager to have the ability to protect themselves, even if it is just three moves or two.
Demand creates a market.
Swordsmanship gyms are a "must-have building" that is indispensable on almost every island, especially in the West Sea where gangs are overrun.
……
In front of him was a small swordsmanship dojo with an open door and an ordinary wooden plaque hanging on it, which neatly read 'Shangquan Dojo'.
This is the third gym Adrien has encountered along the way.
Walking into the gym, you are greeted by a small courtyard with an area of about a hundred square meters. Inside, there are more than a dozen half-year-old children wearing black training robes, sweating profusely and practicing sword swings. There are also a few older children on the side. young people are giving instructions and correcting their actions.
Adrian hadn't taken two steps when one of the young men noticed him and hurriedly came up to him and said enthusiastically: "Hello, do you want to sign up to learn swordsmanship?"
"Sorry, I'm here, um..." Adrian struggled for a moment, but finally said politely, "I'm here to play."
The young man was stunned. It was not that he had never encountered someone who came to kick the gym before, but this was the first time he encountered such a polite 'kicker'.
Adrian continued: "If it is convenient, please ask this little brother to help call your teacher out."
"Oh, oh, okay." The young man nodded stupidly, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly realized what stupid thing he was doing.
"Hey, hey!" He turned around and yelled, "If you want to challenge Mr. Shangizumi, you must pass me first! My name is..."
锔——
The sharp sword was placed on the neck of the young man who had not had time to say his name, and he was so frightened that sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
"This little brother, you should not be my opponent." Adrian sheathed his sword, "Please do it a favor and call your teacher out."
The young man dripping with cold sweat waved to the rest of his companions to indicate that he was okay, and then led Adrian through the yard to the front of a traditional Japanese house.
He gently knocked on the wooden sliding door and said very respectfully: "Teacher Shangquan, someone is here to kick the gym."
A calm middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Huh? Come in with the challenger."
Adrian followed the young man and entered the room.
This is a very empty training ground-like room. In the deepest part of the room sits a middle-aged man with closed eyes. He is wearing a simple gray kimono, and his long hair is tied into a single ponytail on his back. Behind him, his face was calm, giving people a rather stable feeling.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes, looked at Adrian, who was wearing a suit, and said, "I am the owner of this dojo, Ueizumi Muneyan. Is this gentleman the kicker? A rare look."< br>
"Actually, my real intention was to borrow the swordsmanship scrolls collected by your library." Adrian said, "But considering that talking like that would complicate an originally simple matter, I simply chose to leave the library. . As a winner, you should be able to claim [trophies] from the loser, right?”
A gentle smile appeared on Shangquan Zongyan's face, and he said without hesitation: "It's a very strange reason."
He pondered for a moment and waved to his disciple: "Yagyu, take the guest to the library, and he can access the information inside."
"Master!" The young man named Yagyu suddenly became anxious.
Shangquan Zongyan shook his head at his disciples, with a more serious expression: "Yagyu, don't forget the philosophy of our Shangquan Dojo! No fighting, no killing!"
Adrian watched the exchange between the master and the disciple with great interest. In the two gyms he met before, most of the people inside were rigid-minded people, and no one agreed to let him borrow the books in the library. I just know how to fight.
This was the first time that Shangquan Dojo took the initiative to take him to read books.
Adrian was happy and relaxed without having to do anything.
After some warnings, Yagyu still reluctantly obeyed his master's order. He looked at Adrian quite angrily. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him at all, he would definitely attack with his sword at this time!
"Come with me!" Yagyu said forcefully, and left the house quickly, as if he wanted to get rid of Adrian.
Adrian couldn't help but laugh. This guy named 'Yagyu' was really interesting.
"Director Ueizumi," Adrian looked at Ueizumi Muneyan before leaving the house, "I don't know if I should say this. In this sea, the concept of no fighting or killing is certainly admirable, but that is force. [Luxury] that only those who have it can possess.”
"I understand what the guest said," Shangquan Zongyan said with a serious expression, "However, no fighting, no killing, is the core concept of Shangquan Dojo. Without it, there would be no Shangquan Dojo."
Shaking his head slightly, Adrien refused to argue and was just going to read in peace.
When it was getting dark, Adrian walked out of the library of Shangquan Dojo.
With the extremely high intelligence attribute bonus, it only took him half a day to read the swordsmanship information scrolls accumulated by Shangquan Dojo for decades. A large amount of basic swordsmanship knowledge passed through his mind, constantly making up for the shortcomings. The basics of swordsmanship training.
After declining the dinner invitation from Director Ueizumi Sogan, Adrian said goodbye to Uequan Dojo, feeling a little excited.
It has always been true that Adrian's main profession is a swordsman, but all his swordsmanship experience has been obtained through system skills. Apart from a few skills on the panel, his knowledge of swordsmanship is still quite shallow. There is no comparison with those swordsmen who have been trained in swordsmanship since childhood.
Adrian somewhat understood the true meaning of the upgrade mission [Kendo Bailiu]. It was to allow him to fill in the swordsmanship knowledge he lacked in the past, and to deepen his accumulation for climbing to a higher level in the future.
Thinking of this, Adrian became even more interested in completing the task!
However, there are still a few dojos like Kamizumi Dojo that are willing to actively share their knowledge of swordsmanship. When most dojos hear that Adrian wants to kick the gym, they immediately get excited and chop with a knife as if they have been given blood.
With no choice, Adrian had no choice but to fight back with his sword.
Without using the representative ghost fruit ability, but relying on his extraordinary attributes, Adrian easily defeated those who wanted to teach him a lesson, and by the way, he also gained a lot of experience in fighting enemies with swordsmanship.
Just as Shangquan Zongyan explained before, as the winner of the gymnasium, he can naturally ask for the spoils from the loser. Regardless of whether those gymnasiums are willing or not, they still contributed to Adrian the swordsmanship scrolls they have treasured for many years. .
It's just that the good [reading task] turned into a [kick-out task] inexplicably. It's simply unpredictable.
As time went by, Adrian challenged more and more dojos, and even unlocked a legendary level again.
[Legends of the West Sea: The Evil Swordsman - Patience is a virtue, but it also has limits. When the sharp blade covers polite lies, the spoils will always belong to the victor of evil. By the time he notices you, you are in danger, the robbery is underway, and no one can escape. 】
