Chapter 34: 1 Heart Dojo, Shimotsuki Koujiro is blinded by the gold coins!
Nami and Nojiko stood on the beach, looking seriously at Zoro who was sweating profusely not far away.
He was carrying a load that was several times his own weight, and was working hard to cultivate his own strength.
After doing countless push-ups, he threw the huge sandbag on his back away.
After putting on new weights, he picked up the three wooden swords that were stuck on the side without hesitation.
He continued to practice his unique three-sword style swordsmanship!
Every time he swung the sword, his muscles became extremely tense!
His diligence and concentration at this moment moved Nami and Nojiko who were watching.
"This guy with seaweed-like hair is practicing very seriously!"
"If we could practice as hard as he does, wouldn't we be able to make significant progress soon?"
Nami and Nojiko couldn't help but sigh out loud.
After hearing what they said, Ning Chuan reached out and tapped each of their little heads.
"If you could put in half the effort as this guy does when you're training, I'd save a lot of effort!"
"Let's go, don't disturb others' practice!"
"Let's go take a look inside the village!"
After saying that, Ning Chuan walked towards the entrance of Shuangyue Village.
Nami and Nojiko looked at Zoro who was training hard, and then looked up at Ningchuan's back.
There was a strange look on both of their faces.
In their impression, Ningchuan's daily practice seemed very easy.
This is completely different from the green-haired boy in front of him.
They have never seen Ning Chuan sweat from exhaustion while practicing!
For some reason, Ningchuan always seems to be able to practice in a relatively relaxed state.
For example, the Kun Fist he developed.
Nami and her sister practiced secretly countless times.
But I feel there is no improvement at all.
At most, my waist has become more flexible, and my shoulders are stronger when hitting things.
But it is completely different from Ning Chuan, who can make significant improvements after each practice!
In their memories, no matter what Ning Chuan was practicing, he always seemed to be at ease.
It seemed as if the improvement of strength and skills was a natural process for him.
Compared with the young man in front of him who was practicing hard, Ning Chuan's practice process was really too easy!
"Ningchuan, how did he do it?"
At this moment, Nami and Nojiko both felt a little curious.
But they know.
This may be Ningchuan's unique ability, and others will never be able to learn it!
If they want to become stronger, they may have to follow the path of asceticism that the young man in front of them is taking!
"No matter how difficult the next training is, I will continue to become stronger!"
"Even if I can't help Ning Chuan fight the enemy, at least I can't become a burden to him!"
At this moment, this idea emerged in Nami and Nojiko's minds.
The two of them have made up their minds and they are going to start practicing well!
……
Ningchuan walked into Shuangyue Village.
Soon, he learned the location of Koshiro's Isshin swordsmanship dojo from the villagers.
Ning Chuan and the other two soon arrived at the entrance of the dojo.
As soon as I entered the dojo, the wooden floor under my feet couldn't help but start making slight noises.
The air here is filled with the smell of sawdust and sword oil used to maintain wooden swords.
It seems that this sword fighting dojo has existed for a long time!
Right in front of Ningchuan was the gentle and courteous man named Koshiro Shimotsuki, wearing glasses.
He is patiently instructing a group of young children in swordsmanship.
Although their sword-swinging movements seemed immature, each of them was very focused and serious when swinging the sword.
Among the many children, one girl stood out.
Her swordsmanship was smooth and powerful, and every swing of the sword was just right.
Looking at the determined expression on her face, it seemed that every sword she swung contained a determination beyond her age.
Looking at the strong girl in front of him, Ning Chuan recognized her identity almost immediately.
This girl with excellent swordsmanship is none other than Koshiro's daughter, Kuina!
When Ningchuan and the other two stepped into the kendo hall.
Koshiro noticed the three of them.
He turned his head and nodded politely to Ning Chuan, motioning them to wait a moment.
Ning Chuan smiled and nodded in response.
He stood quietly aside with Nami and Nojiko, observing the training of the children.
However, when Ningchuan looked at Kuina.
His eyes stayed on her for a while.
He could see that Kuina's swordsmanship was indeed much stronger than that of young Zoro.
If it weren't for that damn "Supreme Staircase".
I'm afraid that the East China Sea will produce another female swordsman who is as powerful as the future Zoro!
After finishing a training session.
Koshiro let the children move freely.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards Ningchuan and the other two.
"Welcome to Isshin Kenjutsu Dojo, I'm Koshiro, the owner of this dojo!"
"Whose children are you three? Why haven't I seen you in the village?"
Koshiro's voice was calm, with a hint of the calmness unique to a swordsman.
Ning Chuan smiled slightly and answered very politely.
"Hello, Director Koshiro, I'm Ningchuan, and I'm a swordsmanship enthusiast!"
"We are from the Kokoa West Village in the East China Sea. We hope to learn some knowledge about kendo and sword forging from you!"
Hearing Ningchuan's words, Koshiro was suddenly stunned.
He didn't expect that someone would come from so far away to learn swordsmanship from him, and they were three little kids.
They were just three little kids, yet they dared to sail such a long distance on the sea to come here!
Such courage is truly admirable!
However, this was not what surprised him the most!
What surprised Koshiro even more was.
The guy who is the leader among the three not only knows that he can use swordsmanship, but he also knows that he can forge swords?
You know, in the entire East China Sea, there are really not many people who know this!
The surprise on Koshiro's face flashed away.
He took a few steps closer, looked at Ning Chuan carefully, stared at him for a long time before finally speaking.
"Little guy, you are very well-informed!"
"Indeed, our Shimotsuki family not only studies swordsmanship, but also sword forging."
"However, little one, swordsmanship is easy to learn and teach, but sword-making...it depends on talent!"
"I can't guarantee that you can teach me!"
Ning Chuan smiled slightly, with a hint of sincerity in his eyes.
"Mr. Koshiro, please rest assured and teach me!"
"I, Ning Chuan, am still somewhat confident in my talent!"
Looking at the confidence on Ningchuan's face, Koshiro couldn't help but become more curious about Ningchuan.
According to the little guys he usually comes into contact with.
But no one is as confident in himself as Ning Chuan!
"Interesting boy!"
Koshiro commented like this in his heart.
"Since you have come all the way to our small dojo, you should stay here for a while."
"Start from the very beginning of swordsmanship. Once you have mastered the sword, you can start learning sword forging!"
"After all, how can a guy who doesn't even know how to use a sword forge a good sword?"
I heard that Koshiro had agreed that the three of them could stay here.
A smile appeared on Ningchuan's face.
Then he casually reached into his pocket and took out a purse full of gold coins.
Without any hesitation, he threw the heavy purse into Koshiro's hands.
"This is our tuition, of course it also includes the cost of materials for sword-making!"
Koshiro took Ningchuan's purse and a strange look appeared on his face.
He could feel that the money bag did not contain Bailey.
With a hint of curiosity, he opened the purse and took a look!
The large gold coins inside were sparkling with attractive golden light, which almost blinded Koshiro, who always liked to squint his eyes!
"Here, these gold coins!!"
"I'm afraid the total amount would be more than 10 million Baileys!"
"These three kids are so rich and inhumane!"
