Chapter 34
Nami and Nokiko stood on the beach, looking at Zoro who was sweating profusely not far away.
He was carrying a load that was several times his own weight, trying to cultivate his own strength.
After doing countless push-ups, he threw the huge sandbag on his back.
After putting on a new weight, he picked up the three wooden swords inserted on the side without hesitation.
He continued to practice his unique three-sword style!
Every time he swung the sword, his muscles were extremely tense!
At this time, his hard work and concentration moved Nami and Nokiko who were watching.
"This guy with seaweed-like hair is practicing so seriously!"
"If we can practice as hard as he does, won't we be able to make great progress soon?"
Nami and Nokiko couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing what they said, Ningchuan reached out and knocked on their heads.
"If you can practice with half the effort of this guy, I can save a lot of effort!"
"Let's go, don't disturb others' practice!"
"Let's go to the village!"
After saying that, Ningchuan walked towards the entrance of Shimotsuki Village.
Nami and Nokiko looked at Zoro who was practicing hard, and then looked up at Ningchuan's back.
A strange look appeared on their faces.
In their impression, Ningchuan's daily practice seemed very easy.
It was completely different from the green-haired boy in front of them.
They had never seen Ningchuan sweating from exhaustion during practice!
For some reason, Ningchuan seemed to be able to practice in a relatively relaxed state.
For example, the set of Kunquan he developed.
Nami and her sister secretly practiced it countless times.
But they all felt that there was no improvement at all.
At most, the waist became more flexible, and the shoulders were more powerful than before when hitting things.
But it is completely different from Ningchuan who can make a big improvement after every practice!
In their memory, no matter what Ningchuan is practicing, he always seems to be at ease.
It seems that the improvement of strength and skills is a very natural process for him.
Compared with the hard-working boy in front of him, Ningchuan's practice process is too easy!
"Ningchuan, how did he do it?"
At this time, Nami and Nokigo were both curious.
However, they knew.
This may be Ningchuan's unique ability, and others will never learn it!
And if they want to become stronger, they may have to follow the path of hard practice taken by the boy in front of them!
"No matter how difficult the next practice is, I will continue to become stronger!"
"Even if I can't help Ningchuan fight the enemy, at least I can't be a burden to him!"
At this moment, Nami and Nokigo had such an idea in their hearts.
The two of them have made up their minds, and they will also start to practice well!
...
Ningchuan walked into Shimokatsuki Village.
Soon, they learned the location of Koshiro's Isshin Sword Dojo from the villagers.
Ningchuan and the other two soon arrived at the entrance of the dojo.
As soon as they entered the dojo, the wooden floor under their feet could not help but make a slight sound.
The air here was filled with the smell of sawdust and sword oil for maintaining wooden swords.
It seems that this sword dojo has existed for a long time!
Right in front of Ningchuan, the glasses-wearing, gentle Koshiro Shimotsuki was patiently instructing a group of young children to practice swordsmanship.
Although their sword-swinging movements were immature, everyone was very focused and serious when swinging the sword.
Among the many children, there was a girl who was particularly eye-catching.
Her swordsmanship was smooth and powerful, and every sword swing was just right.
Looking at the resolute 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, Ningchuan almost immediately recognized her identity.
This girl with great swordsmanship is none other than Koshiro's daughter, Kuina!
When Ningchuan and the other two entered the kendo hall, Koshiro noticed them.
He turned his head and politely nodded to Ningchuan, motioning them to wait for a moment.
Ningchuan smiled and nodded in response.
Standing quietly aside with Nami and Nokiko, they watched the children's training.
However, when Ningchuan looked at Kuina, his eyes stayed on her for a while.
He could see that Kuina's swordsmanship was indeed much better than that of Zoro.
If it weren't for that damn "The reason is because of the "Supreme Grand Staircase".
I'm afraid that the East China Sea will produce another female swordsman who is as powerful as Zoro in the future!
After a period of training.
Koshiro let the children move freely.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards Ningchuan and the other two.
"Welcome to the Isshin Sword Dojo, I am Koshiro, the owner here!"
"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 swordsmen.
Ningchuan smiled slightly and answered very politely.
"Hello, Director Koshiro, I am Ningchuan, a swordsmanship enthusiast!"
"We came from Kokoa West Village in the East China Sea, and hope to learn some knowledge about kendo and swordmaking from you! "
Hearing Ning Chuan's words, Koshiro was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that someone would come from such a far place to learn swordsmanship from him, and they were three little kids.
Just the three of them dared to sail such a long distance on the sea to come to him!
This courage is really admirable!
However, this is not what surprised him the most!
What surprised Koshiro even more was.
The kid who was the leader of the three not only knew that he knew swordsmanship, but also knew that he could forge swords?
You should know that there are really not many people who know this in the entire East China Sea!
The surprise on Koshiro's face flashed away.
He walked a few steps closer, looked at Ning Chuan carefully, stared at him for a long time before finally speaking.
"Little guy, you are well-informed!"
"Indeed, our Shimotsuki family not only studies swordsmanship, but also studies sword forging."
"However, little guy, swordsmanship is easy to learn and teach, but sword forging...it depends on talent! "
"I can't guarantee whether I can teach you!"
Ningchuan smiled slightly, and there was a trace of sincerity in his eyes.
"Mr. Koshiro, please rest assured to teach me!"
"I, Ningchuan, 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 contacts.
No one is as confident in himself as Ningchuan!
"Interesting boy!"
Koshiro commented 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. Only when the sword is well practiced can you start to learn sword forging!"
"After all, how can a guy who doesn't even know how to play with a sword forge a good sword? "
Hearing that Koshiro had agreed that the three of them could stay here.
Ningchuan smiled.
Then he casually took out a purse full of gold coins from his pocket.
Without any hesitation, he threw the heavy purse into Koshiro's hand.
"This is our tuition, of course, it also includes the material cost of learning sword-making!"
Koshiro took Ningchuan's purse, with a strange look on his face.
He could feel that the purse did not seem to contain Bailey.
With a hint of curiosity, he opened the purse and took a look!
The large gold coins inside, which were shining with attractive golden light, almost blinded Koshiro, who always liked to squint!
"These gold coins! !"
"I'm afraid the total amount is more than 10 million Baileys!"
"These three children are so rich and inhumane!"
