Chapter 571: The Path of Cultivation
Without complaining, Roger calmly accepted it all.
He knew that the Jackdaw Sword Master must have asked for something else to accept him as a student, but this opportunity was also very precious to Roger.
After entering the fourth order, Roger could feel that his progress speed had dropped significantly, and he had a feeling of headless flies stumbling around.
This opportunity in front of him can quickly close the distance between him and other cultivators, as long as he finds the right direction, with the help of the Hunter's Hut, Roger believes that he can complete the accumulation and make a leap at a very fast speed.
"There is a saying among celebrities that is very true, except for the last one, the rest of the swordsmanship you have mastered is unsightly."
"Actually, even the last one is just a little interesting."
"You've got some messy stuff in your hands, it's too cluttered, it's time-limited, and we have to focus on what matters most."
"I know that you are from the West, and you may have a much longer lifespan than the cultivators in the East, but everything has its pros and cons."
"If you don't focus on one thing, you may be able to reach the top, but you can never do it to the top!"
"Just like my teacher, Tengu Kamyo."
"He was once known as the most outstanding onmyoji in a hundred years, you must know that there are a total of eight major lineages in the entire Tiankou Shrine, and each branch is enough to cultivate to the realm of the god lord."
"He is proficient in six of them, and he wants to master the remaining two completely through his own efforts, merging the eight branches into one, and reaching a level that no one has ever reached in the past."
"Achieve the prestige of the Great Tengu."
"But alas...... He still failed! β
The Jackdaw Sword Lord sighed.
"And at the pinnacle, defeated by my sword."
"I have no other distractions, only a sword in my heart, and only one idea."
"It doesn't matter if you're proficient in magic or bloodline in the West, but here you have to forget about what you've learned and cling to the sword in your hand."
"And then come to the end of the road."
"Unleash your guardian spirit."
The Jackdaw Sword Master said.
Roger nodded, and the metallic cat reappeared beside him, two tails swinging behind his hips, and a third tail looming.
"Cat again, it seems to be a little different......"
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a guardian spirit."
"Do you know why?"
The Jackdaw Sword Master asked softly, and without waiting for Roger to answer, he said to himself, "A long time ago, I knew a man who had a cat and a guardian spirit, and that was a very powerful fellow. β
He chuckled, the wrinkles on his face unfurling, as if reminiscing about his glorious years.
"There aren't many guys who can be called strong by me in this life, and he is one."
"But it's a pity...... He also couldn't get rid of the fate of having a cat. β
"Crazy!"
He looked up at Roger, "You've already experienced that crazy lifting thrill, haven't you?" β
"That feeling is like cheating, through killing, you can infinitely increase your spiritual power."
Roger didn't answer, but the expression on his face said it all, he had thought that the ability to eat spirits would only appear because of the hunter's hut, but now it seemed that it should be the only ability that belonged to the cat and guardian spirit.
"Is there a way to lift that burden?" Roger asked.
"Of course not."
The Jackdaw Sword Lord shook his head, "That kind of strange ability shouldn't exist in this world, if there were no flaws, then the people in this world would have been killed by cats a long time ago." β
There was an inexplicable glint in the eyes of the Jackdaw Sword Master, and Roger always felt that he must still be hiding something.
"You have obtained a lot of inheritance swordsmanship from Jianjiao, show it to me."
Roger didn't speak, but jumped into the arena, swinging the sword of fate in his hand, and rehearsing all the swordsmanship he had mastered one by one.
"Heart of the Sword......
"Don't waste your talents, don't focus all your energy on learning this garbage."
"These swordsmanship are useless?"
Roger asked rhetorically.
In his senses, a lot of swordsmanship greatly broadened his horizons, and he did learn a lot from them.
Relying on his blind practice alone, I am afraid that he will never be able to comprehend any kind of sword mark.
"Cultivation before the fourth order was the accumulation of power, but after we entered the fourth order, the accumulation of power became less important, the important thing was application."
"With your current combat skills, even if your strength is increased by three times, you will not be able to escape death in the face of celebrities who have been suppressed to the early stage of the fourth order."
"You must know that under a certain rule, the power we can control is limited, and when you reach this limit, you will find that unless you jump out of this world, your strength will not improve in the slightest."
"Then at the same stage, whoever has a deeper sense of strength will be stronger!"
Roger's heart shook slightly.
This was very different from what he had embraced in the Western world, but it was possible that there were applications that Roger did not understand where the Privy Council existed, in the circles of the higher transcendentals.
"It's useless to learn more things from those small schools, they're all skins, they're all the simplest techniques, it's enough to pass the time to understand them, you need to determine the things that are most core in your swordsmanship, your philosophy."
"Ideas?"
There was a hint of confusion on Roger's face.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have some deviations regarding the understanding and application of the sword seal.
He only regarded the sword seal as a combination of simple swordsmanship and magic seal, but he didn't understand the most essential thing at all.
On the surface, whether the return in the Quinn Sword Seal is the Flying Sword in the Alder Sword Seal, it looks more like a move, a simple offensive or defensive technique.
And not a philosophy.
He felt as if he had vaguely grasped something.
"Celebrities, Jianjiao, and me, the guardian spirits of the three of us are all three-legged blacks, but the three of us are the same, and the fighting styles are very different."
"You have to have something of your own."
"What is a guardian spirit?"
"It's your philosophy, your character choices, and your path."
"It's you."
Roger fell into deep thought.
The words of the Jackdaw Sword Lord seemed to open a path to the peak for him, in fact, even if he reached the fourth order, before reaching the high level, the increase in strength had obvious benefits.
After all, there are still very few swordsmen like celebrities and jackdaw sword masters in this world, and Roger can tell what the jackdaw sword master said, which is more like the direction he should go in after reaching the peak.
To be honest, for Roger at this time, these theories were a bit ahead of their time, even out of date.
But Roger is like an initiation, he does not lack the means to accumulate strength, and what he needs is the right direction.
If he followed Roger's established path, even if he raised his ability to the level of the fourth-order high stage or even the sword master level, it would be nothing more than a faΓ§ade at best.
When you fight against a cultivator of the same level, you are likely to lose badly.
"What should I do?"
He asked.
"Go back and rest, come to me tomorrow at the same time."
"Okay."
Roger nodded and turned to walk out, this should be an independent space, as long as he leaves a certain range, he will naturally return to the hut at the top of the mountain.
Roger was tempted to assimilate the Shadow Hut into the shadows of the house where the Jackdaw Sword Lord lived, but the idea arose before he dispelled it.
It's too dangerous.
He was just about to leave, when the voice of the Jackdaw Sword Lord suddenly came from behind him, "Regarding the side effects of the cat and the guardian spirit, it's not impossible to ......"
Roger didn't look back, but stepped out without hesitation, and at the same time muttered in his heart, "Old fox......"
His figure appeared in the room, and there was silence all around, and the Yata celebrity had obviously already left, and walked down the steps all the way to the courtyard on the mountainside, and before he could get closer, he heard a faint argument.
Stepping into the courtyard door, Roger saw a figure around Yukiko from a distance, he thought it was Kazuo Aoki at first, but after a closer look, he found that the other party was just similar in shape.
The appearance and temperament are completely different.
"Roger......
Seeing Roger's figure, Yukiko's eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly, and at this time, Roger also saw the figure following Yukiko.
It was a young man who looked to be about twenty years old, with a white face, eyes that were as contemptuous as a woman's, and even his lips were much more rosy than those of ordinary men.
Seeing that Roger didn't say anything, he walked straight to the far door.
"Who are you?"
Roger asked, but the man who heard Roger's words didn't seem to hear it, and Yukiko, who was standing next to Roger, gently pulled his sleeve and gave him a look.
"He's a celebrity guy, and he's always looking for an excuse to come here these days......"
Hearing the message from Yukiko, Roger frowned, and he stepped forward and raised his voice at the same time.
"Can't you understand people?"
"What did you say?" The man who walked to the door turned his head suddenly, a trace of blood appeared in the corner of his eye, and a slightly coquettish pupil emitted a terrifying fierce light.
"Looks like you understand."
Roger said with a calm face.
"Hmph, beam-jumping clown."
The man snorted coldly, a trace of contempt flashed on his face, and he was about to turn to leave, but he heard Roger say, "I don't care what you came here for, but you'd better put away your previous thoughts." β
"Hehe......"
The man looked at Roger with a slight contempt, "Who do you think you are?" β
"This is Hanchuan, here is ......"
"The master here is still the Jackdaw Sword Master!"
Roger interrupted the other party indifferently, and the expression on the man's face changed slightly, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
In fact, Roger didn't want to get too involved in the internal strife of the Sword House, he just wanted to quietly increase his strength, and in the current situation, there was no need for infighting.
"Okay, I remember your words, remember me I'm the white fox!"
The man said viciously, "I'll come again." β
Roger frowned, clenched the sword of fate in his hand, and a wave of irritability rose in his heart, and he hesitated whether to ......
The white fox on the opposite side obviously noticed the change in Roger's body, and the expression on his face became nervous, but at this moment, a voice came from behind the white fox.
"What are you doing here?"
The breath on Roger's body relaxed, and he looked up to see that Yatsuya Kenkaku and Yuuki Nao appeared in the position of the door.
"Tsuna-sama!"
The white fox replied in a low voice.
"Who told you to come here?" Yachi Jianjiao frowned, "What are you doing in a daze?" Get out of here! β
"Yes...... Be! β
The white fox's face became very ugly, but he didn't say anything, bowed his head and left quickly.
"Lord Jianjiao."
Roger spoke.
"Just call me by my name." Yatsuya said.
"You're here for ......"
"Although you will be considered my father's student from today onwards, you will still work for me before that."
"And the betrayal of the Ishii family last night, to be honest, I am also responsible, if I can put more energy into these things, it probably won't be ......"
"Lord Jianjiao, this is my responsibility."
Yuuki Nao, who was standing on the side, said urgently.
"It's because my strength is too weak, if I have the strength of Lord Roger, I can help you share some things."
Roger, who was standing not far away, grinned, and he noticed the way Nao Yuuki looked at Yatsuki Kenkaku, and the tone of this scene ......
Sprinkle dog food?
"Indeed, you are also responsible!"
"Hmm...... Well?! β
Roger snapped back to his senses and stared at Yachikaku with wide eyes.
Brother, can't you hear people just talking casually?
But seeing Yagaku Jianjiao nodding his head in agreement, he turned sideways and patted Yuki Nao's shoulder, "Ice Butterfly, you need to work harder to enhance your strength!" β
"I will, Lord Jianjiao!"
Yuuki Nao said softly.
"My father has always emphasized that rewards and punishments are clear, and you have something to odo in this matter......
"Lord Jianjiao...... Please punish me! β
The cold wind blew across his cheeks, and Roger felt that at this moment he should be a paper figure messy in the wind to fit the atmosphere of the scene.
What's the situation?
If the above conversation were placed in the room, Roger would probably think crookedly.
Just looking at the appearance of Yaga's Kenkaku, you can't really think about how to punish Nao Yuuki, right?
Hehe......
Punish...... Do sticks add up?
"Ahem."
Roger coughed lightly, showing a sense of presence, which brought the thinking Yaga Jianjiao back to his senses.
"...... over there at the Ishii family"
Roger asked.
"Someone has been sent to deal with it."
"It's probably not going to happen overnight for the whole city to return to normal, and we will need to send more people for a long time to come, and I may be in charge myself."
"When I'm away, if there's something that can't be solved, you can go to Nao, and he'll let me know."
"Celebrities may target you for some reasons, ignore him, you are now a student of your father, and no one can do anything to you except your father."
"I prepared some things for you after completing the last mission, and later, I will send someone to deliver them."
After a few simple greetings, Yatsuya Kenkaku left with Yuki Nao, looking at the hurried appearance of the two, maybe they were busy going back to carry out the so-called punishment?
Roger thought silently.
After learning about the situation with Yukiko, it was almost the same as Roger imagined, and this guy named White Fox approached Yukiko probably for Morita Michihiro.
But that guy knows how to measure things very well, and he doesn't have anything to do.
Roger returned to his room and pondered the battle.
The next morning, Roger hadn't gone out yet, when suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps, and then Morita Yukiko crashed in in a panic.
"Luo ...... Roger! β
"Oh no, that eight-digne celebrity ......"
"He's coming!"
Roger's face changed slightly, and he strode out.
