Chapter 27: Training!
After more than ten hours of sleep, Su Xiao woke up due to a strong feeling of hunger.
If it wasn't for his rumbling stomach, he would have gotten some more sleep.
But before he left his exclusive room, Su Xiao frowned. His room was too empty, it didn't even have a bed right now, so he would have to spend some coins to buy furniture...
«Paradise for Reincarnators " provided only the foundation for everyone, and as for everything else, the contractors already had to provide themselves with everything they needed.
— How troublesome. We will need to close this issue as soon as possible.
Su Xiao picked out the first restaurant that came along and ate his fill for just three coins.
The food was delicious, and the restaurant's boss was quite scrupulous about his restaurant and guests.
From his attitude, it was clear to him that it wasn't easy for the employees to survive in the " Paradise for Reincarnators».
After a heavy meal, Su Xiao started paying attention to the vendors on both sides of the street.
Buying furniture was not difficult. One of the employees of Paradise invented a special capsule for sleeping. It could shrink to the size of a fingernail, making it very convenient to carry around.
After spending 200 Paradise coins, Su Xiao bought all the necessary furniture for his room.
After solving the problem with the food and furniture, Su Xiao immediately returned to the central square and entered the " Test Hall».
He could stay in Paradise for two more days, and in those two days, he intended to adjust to his new power.
[Welcome, Hunter, to start using the Hall, please select the mode.]
[Auxiliary Mode / Real Mode]
Su Xiao thought for a moment and finally chose " Auxiliary Mode».
[The auxiliary mode was selected. Please select the level of the illusory image.]
Three options appeared in front of Su Xiao. Low level, Intermediate and Advanced.
A low level consumed 100 Paradise coins per hour, an intermediate level consumed 1,000 coins per hour, and an advanced level consumed 10,000 coins per hour.
After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao chose the intermediate level.
After spending some time in Paradise, he noticed that the items that were sold by other contractors or employees were mostly white, which made their cost very low.
The only green weapon Su Xiao saw was worth 40,000 Paradise coins, and there were a couple of guys fighting over it.
And this is taking into account that the additional attribute of that weapon was not as good as that of his sword.
Apparently it was very difficult to find something like this.
But compared to buying equipment, Su Xiao would rather improve his own strength than resort to buying equipment.
After Su Xiao handed over 1,000 Paradise coins, a milky white light appeared in front of him, and a middle-aged man in white clothes was formed from it.
The surrounding scene soon changed to a dojo.
[The image of Kosiro from the world of Van Pease was invoked.]
Seeing this notification, Su Xiao smiled.
Su Xiao wasn't sure about Koshiro's strength, but as far as his teaching ability was concerned, Koshiro was an absolute master in this matter. Roronoa Zoro was a clear proof of this.
Although Koshiro did not teach Roronoa Zoro any techniques, he helped Roronoa Zoro lay the foundation for acquiring power.
— Hello, I'm Koshiro, and since we don't have much time, let's start right now.
But this wasn't the real Koshiro, just an illusion of him.
Koshiro looked at the sword at Su Xiao's waist and nodded.
— This weapon is similar to mine. Then it's simple. Attack me with this sword with all your strength.
Su Xiao didn't say anything. This guy's summoning cost him 1,000 Paradise coins, so he immediately attacked Koshiro with his sword.
With Su Xiao's current attributes, this punch could be described as 'fast' and 'accurate', and the angle of impact was very good.
But the result stunned Su Xiao. Koshiro didn't even draw his weapon — he just used the scabbard to block and easily changed the angle of attack of his sword.
Su Xiao felt his sword move to the side, and because he exerted too much force, he was even forced to take two steps to the side.
His attack was repelled so easily, and even though Su Xiao didn't want to accept such a result, there was nothing he could do about it.
The world he grew up in and the world of Van Pease were too different. He and Koshiro were on different levels.
His edged weapon skills, which he had worked so hard to hone in his world, were not worth mentioning in Koshiro's eyes.
Previously, there were excellent skills in his world with cold weapons, but the rapid development of technology made all these skills useless, which is why they were eventually forgotten.
— Alright, your understanding of the sword is worse than I thought.
In Koshiro's opinion, Su Xiao's skills were too low.
Su Xiao's heart was filled with disappointment. His hard work and training weren't worth a mention in Koshiro's eyes, but he didn't have any arguments that would help him refute his statement. He really couldn't compare to Koshiro.
But there was no shame in being worse than someone else. He will be able to catch up, and the first step to change is to admit that he was worse than others.
— What do I need to do to build a good foundation? Su Xiao asked and swung his sword a couple of times.
— Your foundation is very good, much better than most people's. Very few people are willing to spend several years practicing regular swings, because this is the simplest but most painstaking action.
— Answer my question — how do you see the sword in your hand??
Koshiro was dressed in white robes. He sat down cross-legged and smiled at Su Xiao.
— How do I see the sword in my hand? Well... a killing tool.
Su Xiao's reply made Koshiro shake his head.
— If you stick to this concept, even if you practice for a hundred years, you'll just be swinging it around. You won't be able to comprehend the art of swordsmanship.
Su Xiao looked at the sword in his hand and didn't say anything.
— Feel the sword in your hand and make it an extension of your body, your limbs. If you can't even do that, then I can't teach you anything.
Su Xiao's face crumpled. He spent 1,000 Paradise coins and summoned Koshiro, but surprisingly, he literally told him to comprehend everything on his own.
Su Xiao immediately contacted Paradise and wanted to suspend this auxiliary mode, but not long after, he made himself comfortable with the sword and sat cross-legged, placing the sword directly on his lap.
The notification that Rai sent him clearly told him that this auxiliary mode could not be suspended. Right now, he could only leave this hall, but the Paradise coins he spent would not be returned to him, so Su Xiao could only start doing what Koshiro told him to do.
— Don't imagine the sword in your mind, it is right in front of you, look at it, feel its sharpness, hear its unique breath.
Koshiro's summoning wasn't a waste of money. He guided Su Xiao in detail and passed on his experience to Su Xiao.
This was something that Koshiro had previously only taught his student who had potential, but now Su Xiao was learning it.
Time passed, and after half an hour, Su Xiao vaguely felt his sword.
Without realizing it, he grabbed it and slashed it through the air, causing a humming sound to resound in the surrounding area.
Koshiro nodded in satisfaction and continued guiding Su Xiao.
An hour later, the Koshiro dissipated, but Su Xiao was still sitting on the ground and swinging his sword from time to time.
He could feel the door gradually opening in front of him. What he had previously honed was just ordinary swings of cold weapons. They were of little use, except that he was getting used to his weapons and training his body.
With another swing, he retracted his sword and plunged into his own world, unaware of Koshiro's disappearance.
The fact that Su Xiao had trained ordinary swings for three years already showed his obsession with edged weapons.
Su Xiao's hard work over the past three years had begun to bear fruit because of Kosiro's guidance.
