Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 253

Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (253)

From the next day onwards, Leonard’s daily life became very regular.

As the need for sleep disappeared as I entered the semi-neutral state, I cleared my mind through meditation and opened my eyes at the same time as the sun rose. After checking my physical condition through a few rounds of Daejucheon, I went out to the Golden Dragon Knights’ training hall and looked at the members who were doing personal training.

Because it had been heavily consumed twice in the southern seas, the sword’s momentum was lower than usual, but the red enthusiasm burning in its eyes was incomparable to before.

The taste of victory, which had been forgotten due to hunger for so long, must have awakened the enthusiasm that had sunk to the bottom of his soul.

‘It’s a very small level, but… My skills have improved a bit. Has the good fight against the foreign media accumulated as a karma?’

Leonard’s eyes were accurate, as he was able to see into a higher dimensional realm than before after being deified. Even the Golden Knight, which had been stagnant for decades, even over a hundred years, has slightly raised its level.

It was just as Sijo Cárdenas said.

Their growth potential was not completely closed.

‘The path to enlightenment is closed, but is the path to enlightenment open? In that case, it would not be impossible to break through to the anti-spiritual state by softening the hardened heart of the founder and accumulating karma.’

If one had trained swords and aurors in the traditional way, it would not have been possible even after 1,000 years, but the theory of martial arts was vaguely visible thanks to the martial arts of the Jungwon martial arts, which were more advanced than those of this world.

The phrases that look like Zen questions were a means to expand the room for interpretation, and a way to get as close as possible to an enlightenment that cannot be verbalized. There was no better solution for the Golden Knights, who had forgotten how to move forward because they had acquired bodies and minds that exceeded their capabilities.

Accordingly, Leonard invested more time in sermons than in plant-based training or sparring, and the Golden Knights, who had been overly excited by the pleasure of victory, gradually became calmer.

The training of Heather, who became his immediate disciple, also went very smoothly.

“Master! “I think 〈Nine River Wind Sword Technique〉 is now complete!”

“Just unfold it.”

A moist wind swirled around Heather’s body as she began to handle the two swords as instructed by Leonard.

Since it is not controlling the natural energy, but is in a state of assimilation with the spirit, the attributes of water and wind are drawn into it. It could be said that the reproduction of the imagery contained in martial arts is excellent.

As Heather was already a master of dual swordsmanship, the blades were not tangled or disorganized in the slightest, and the ‘Nine River Wind Sword Technique’ that was released from her hands was undoubtedly a step above the Cheongseong First Sword.

From the 1st Mokwoojeolpung to the 27th Pungusuwol (風雨水月).

The martial arts demonstration has already ended, with even Leonard flawless in terms of Choshik’s perfection.

“… It is at a level where the form and meaning can be perfectly displayed. “You have reached the 10th level of ‘Nine River Wind Sword Technique’.”

Then Heather opened her eyes wide and asked a question.

“You said that martial arts proficiency reaches 12 stars, so are there still two more levels left?! “I think it unfolded perfectly!”

“It’s just as you said. The ‘Nine River Wind Sword Technique’ you showed was perfect. From this point on, it is a state that must go beyond ‘perfection’ and be achieved outside the framework set by the founder of martial arts.”

This is the reason why the mastery of the 10 stars is expressed as extreme skill in Myeongmun Daepa, and the 12 stars are classified as daeseong (大成).

It is the ultimate because it is the end of a predetermined path. Because the area beyond is a wilderness with no signposts or crossroads, there were quite a few cases where people tried to advance further and ended up backsliding at the 10th level.

When it comes to proficiency in the martial arts itself, it was common for it to end at 10 stars.

“Regardless of who the practitioner is, all 10 states will have the same form, but they are not the 12 states. If there are ten people who have reached the 12 states of the Nine Rivers Wind Sword Technique, all ten will reach the state of the 12 states in different forms.”

“Aha, so you’re saying I’m at a point where I have to add my own feelings?”

“yes. If one completes a higher level of sword practice based on the 10-star 〈Guhecheonpunggeombeop〉, it corresponds to the 12-star. “Until it is completed properly, it is treated as 11 stars.”

From here on, Leonard could no longer teach.

The formation of a singularity, which can be said to be the introductory stage of mental martial arts, was something that others should not be involved in. Heather herself had to face her inner self and come up with something that could be called a result.

It was from then on that Heather devoted herself to self-training.

‘I unintentionally became a little more free.’

The martial arts training taught to the Knights of the Golden Dragon is not far away, and the disciple who accepted one has entered the stage of cracking the eggshell.

Normally, Leonard, who had nothing to do, would have invested his spare time in self-discipline, but it was impossible to properly train while suppressing deification.

As a result, Leonard, unable to do anything, began to carry out the things he had thought about several times.

One of them was visiting old classmates.

Since he had already met William and Heather, Leonard decided to visit Belita and Dylan separately.

“Les, Leonard?! “No, Captain Leonard!”

The boy, who was aiming to become the top 4 fisherman of each faction at the training center, had already become an apprentice knight of the Spirit Dragon Knights.

The flow has become more natural, perhaps because I have developed the abilities I was able to use even before I became an Auror. It was difficult to find Leonard around the time of Transcendence without the Dragon Eye.

His achievements as a warrior were almost on the verge of transcendence.

“It’s not a public place, so there’s no need to be respectful. I came to see it once because it was my classmate. “I was also curious about how she was doing.”

Dylan looked embarrassed at those words and shrugged his shoulders.

“… Is that so? Well, even if it means being polite, I use the honorific language with everyone.”

“Come to think of it, you were like that even when you were a trainee.”

Dylan and Leonard’s story, which began with a trivial story, wasn’t very nutritious, but it wasn’t a bad way to kill time.

Unlike Leonard, who became stronger too quickly and suddenly, Dylan was following the standard course, and the inside story of the Young Dragon Knights, which was difficult to hear from other knights, was quite interesting.

It was a story that could be told because Leonard had access to information as a general manager.

“You plan to visit Belita next, right?”

“That’s right.”

“She is now back in the territory where my family is, not in the [Sword Forest]. “If you want to meet me, you’ll have to go there.”

Leonard tilted his head at those words.

Even if you were from a direct lineage, if you entered the 7th Order of Knights, you could not change your place of residence for personal reasons. If Belita left the [Sword Forest], she had to have a corresponding reason.

“Ah, originally, Belita was going to join the Blue Dragon Knights. However, as the non-aggression pact with the Elyos was established, all those scheduled to join were put on hold, and time flew by as they remained independent.”

“indeed.”

Leonard, who learned the situation through Dylan’s explanation, leaped into the sky again, accelerated greatly and shot towards the place where Cardenas’ direct relatives were gathered.

Because the shock wave was rising above the clouds to prevent it from pummeling the ground, only the clouds in its path were torn apart, exposing the blue sky.

The territory of the Cardenas family was vaster than imagined, but it was not wide for a demigod who could jump several kilometers in one step.

Leonard read the sign of the dragonan upon its arrival.

“As expected, you have become the owner of the dragon eye? “I’m still immature in handling it.”

If he was at the same level as Damian or Leonard, his vision would have been completely controlled, making it difficult to detect his presence from the outside.

Seeing has its own influence.

This was because cognitive ability was directly related to interference, just as only those with spiritual eyes can deal with supernatural powers. In cases where it corresponds to the bloodline ability of a higher race, such as the dragon eye, a stronger presence is revealed.

So Leonard was able to soon encounter Belita.

“to? Leonard? “No, Commander of the Golden Dragon Knights?”

“Be comfortable when you meet in private. “It feels awkward to be treated like a superior by all my classmates.”

“Aha, that part is still the same?”

Belita, completely different from her days as a trainee, losing her youthfulness and becoming more feminine, gently arched her eyebrows.

The mysterious atmosphere was still there as it was back then, but it had little meaning to Leonard, who was insensitive even as a child. No, he wouldn’t even realize that he had been tempted.

Belita, the girl who was number 2 at the training camp and showed favor to Leonard before anyone else, said as she handed him a teacup.

“Do you like black tea? Or coffee?”

“It doesn’t matter either way. “I don’t enjoy it either way.”

In his previous life, Yeon Moo-hyeok had even tried mud dumplings when he was a ronin, and even after standing tall in the martial arts world as a Hwagyeong-level expert, he had no particular interest in eating.

It was the same for Leonard.

He drank the tea that Belita poured for him without hesitation and blinked his eyes as he made eye contact with her.

“Did your Dragon Eyes open as you broke through the transcendental border? Control seems a little unstable.”

Belita’s eyes widened, with still little change in expression.

“… “Can you see all of that?”

“Because it is easy for longan owners to recognize each other. “Director Damian has been seeing through me since he first met me.”

“Then, shall we take a lesson from our proud horseman? “There are only four people in the Yongan Owner family, excluding me, and everyone is too busy, so it’s hard to ask.”

As the saying goes, the owner of the long eye is bound to have high combat power and rank, so there is no free time left to teach someone one-on-one.

Leonard also had some free time due to the large-scale subjugation operation and deification, and as usual, he did not have time to visit Belita.

“Well, that would be nice. If you don’t mind, I’ll teach you some tricks.”

“uh? really? I’m serious?”

“The head of the family said the same thing. It is natural for Cárdenas’ blood relatives to learn from and teach each other. That’s how I learned it, so I have no intention of wasting the time or inconvenience of dealing with you.”

There are few things more frustrating than wanting to learn but having no one to teach you. Born as a descendant of a fallen noble family, learning martial arts on his own and wandering around the world, there was no way Leonard could not recognize his desire.

Even though it had been several years since they had seen each other, the two continued their conversation without any awkwardness between them.

Until the sun rose in the sky and fell beyond Seosan Mountain.

* * *

It had been a little over a month since Leonard stopped running without stopping and started looking around.

It’s a treadmill of life where I focus on completing my relationship with my classmates, teaching the Knights of the Golden Dragon, and refining my thoughts while watching Heather’s training.

Leonard’s eyebrows twitched greatly as he contemplated his imaginary world.

‘The fire energy that reached the realm of the gods through is invading other messengers. The method of empowering Hyeonmu is working well, but even if I intervene in earnest, is 7 to 3 to 6 to 4 the best?’

If possible, I wanted to regain balance through fortune-telling and meditation, but it is very difficult to change this structure. There seemed to be no solution other than awakening a Jinsin-level Xuanwujigi, equivalent to .

However, if this was attempted without the excitement of the battle or the protection of the world law, a massive explosion might occur that would blow up a radius of several kilometers, beyond the ignition of a coin.

Of course, Leonard would be instantly torn to pieces.

“?I guess I’ll have to think more after I have an audience with the emperor.”

It was like that.

Before I knew it, the day when I had to face the Emperor of Arcadia, whom Declen had mentioned not long ago, was getting closer.

For powerful demigods, human society and state power were enough to be respected on the surface, but the emperor, who was a descendant of the founding emperor and was the commander of this great war, was also an exception.

This is different from the emperor of the Central Plains, who called himself the Son of Heaven and endlessly disrupted the world for his own self-interest.

―A person loved by the world.

The swordsman Declen expressed the greatness of all people in this way.
