Although they were competing in speed, and although they were both running with their feet, Rean and Alleria moved in completely different ways.
Li En never touched the ground, his body was as light as a bird, and he came and went like the wind.
Alleria was just the opposite. Every step she took was loud and sound, like a galloping horse.
She said she wasn't good at speed, but actually she wasn't slow at all, it just looked like she wasn't moving fast because she took long strides to move.
Let me emphasize again, extraordinary strong people have no shortcomings, they are just good at different directions.
Under the full strength of the two peak warriors, the thirty-minute walking distance for ordinary people passed by in an instant.
The moment Rean stopped, the game was over.
And this also shows that this pre-match warm-up is Rean's victory.
"You won." Alleria admitted generously, her eyes moving from Rean's upper body to his lower body with a searching look, "I heard that there is a 'Wind Sword Master' in the 'Eight Leaves One Sword Style' who is famous for his speed. , are you using similar techniques?"
"Yes, it's the second type of the 'Eight Leaves Itto Style' Hayate'." Rean nodded, "But compared to Senior Brother Arios, my speed is still far behind."
"The second type, that means there are other types? 'Eight Leaves and One Sword', there are eight types in total, right?"
Although the name of "Hatsuba Ittōryu" is resounding, there are few descendants and they are not the ones who like to spread the word. Therefore, most warriors only know the name of the school. They do not know the specific moves and the differences among the practitioners within the sect. Even if they are A martial arts idiot like Alleria didn't know everything. "
"It is indeed eight types. The so-called 'Eight Leaves One Sword Style' actually means literally. The school practices Taishou, and there are eight types in total. However, only the seventh type is a sword move, and the eighth type is a 'no hand' to deal with the enemy when there is no sword. .”
"What a simple naming method. What types are there? What type of 'spiral' does Liber's 'Sword Master' specialize in?"
"The first type is the best at attacking difficult situations."
Rean didn't hold anything back and came one by one.
"The second type is the 'Blast', which combines light skills and body skills, and is fast and sharp. The fourth type——"
"Wait a minute, why type four and type three?" Alleria asked curiously.
"The third type is a little bit special. I want to talk about it together with the sixth type. Since you asked, I will talk about it first, the third type 'Karma Flame Strike' and the sixth type 'Crimson Flame Slash', but These are actually my third and sixth types, and do not represent other senior brothers and sisters. Because these two types are not only moves, but also incorporate attribute powers. The two types have different focuses. The third type is a white blade, and the sixth type is Long range slash."
"I see."
"The fourth type, Red Leaf Cutting, is said to be inspired by the master's cutting of fallen leaves with a sword, and he emphasizes on cutting multiple cuts with one sword in a continuous manner.
The fifth type, the waning moon, is the only type among the seven types of swords that focuses on defense and emphasizes late strikes.
Type Seven, None. This type is not easy to describe in words. It pays more attention to the state of mind than the skills. It contains everything in nothing, everything contains nothing, and nothing exists in each other.
Each of the seven types has its own strengths. Generally speaking, the disciples of Yaba will first practice all the kata completely, and then choose one of the kata to practice intensively. After practicing one of the kata to the arcana, they can get the seal and be qualified to be called the 'Sword Master'. "
"The Type One Arcana is the 'Sword Master'? It's surprising."
This is not a compliment, Alleria was really shocked.
It is normal for a school to have secrets. Every person who establishes a sect must have some special skills that are beyond the ordinary. But there are usually not many secrets like this, and they are usually used in one or two hands. Even if they are mastered, most of them have nothing to do with "principles".
Even the two largest sects in the empire, the Fandel School and the Alsaid School, have never said that learning to understand the secrets will definitely lead to transcendence and sainthood.
Taking Alleria herself as an example, to really take this step is to cultivate the two major schools into a true inheritance at the same time and merge them into one.
However, the "Eight Leaves and One Sword Style" has at least seven secrets and seven roads leading to "reason". It is so grand that it can be said to be unprecedented.
If it weren't for the fact that there was already a "Sword Immortal" and three "Sword Saints" under the Eight Leaves Sect, Alleria would not have believed that there was such a heaven-defying sect.
"In other words, even if you are now a 'Sword Master', you cannot show the full picture of the 'Eight Leaves One Sword Style', and the same cannot be said for your two Sword Master brothers. Probably only your master, the 'Eight Leaves One Sword Style' Only the founder, 'Sword Immortal' Yunkafai, can do it."
Regarding Alleria's judgment, Rean gave an ambiguous answer.
"Yes, but no. I used to have the same idea as you, but after understanding the secret, I gradually felt that it was more than that. As I just said, my third type, my sixth type.
Rather than the moves, Master pays more attention to the divine will in teaching. The first pass is to learn the basic moves of each type. In the intermediate pass, you have to understand the essence and truly use each type to your own advantage and turn it into the most suitable move for you.
The next step is to sublimate the divine will into the profound meaning and understand the 'reason' - simply put, every disciple's 'Eight Leaves and One Sword Style' is different. Senior Brother Cassius has his 'Eight Leaves and One Sword Style', which should now be applied to stick techniques. Senior Brother Arios has his own 'Eight Leaves and One Sword Style', and I also have mine. "
"I think I understand." Alleria exhaled slowly.
Why is "Hachiba Itto-ryu" so different?
Because it is fundamentally different from other genres. From the beginning of entry, one is heading towards transcendence and becoming a saint, towards the highest realm of "reason" that warriors dream of.
While other sects were still studying the moves themselves, they began to abandon the moves and study the essence.
Rumor has it that the "Eight Leaves Ittō Style" is the culmination of Eastern swordsmanship. Alleria had never understood what the so-called masterpiece was all about before, but now she understood - it was not the moves, but the essence of them, the seven paths to the top.
No wonder the students of the "Hatsuba Itto-ryu" are all outstanding, and their own style is equal to that of other schools or even more. In contrast, the entry threshold is much higher. Even if it is just the basics, the time to get started with Type 7 cannot be short.
This also explains why there are so few disciples of the "Eight Leaves and One Sword Style" because the requirements for talent and teaching are extremely high.
If you are not talented enough, you may not be able to get started even if you practice for ten years. Even if you are talented enough, the master will still spend a lot of energy in teaching. This kind of teaching must be one-to-one. It is absolutely impossible for a teacher to have more than a dozen disciples like the Alside Stream and the Vandel Stream.
Even so, the "Eight Leaves One Sword Style" is terrifying enough, and the "Sword Immortal" who created this style——
"The last question is, what height has your master reached?"
"I don't know either. I haven't seen him for a long, long time." Li En sighed and shook his head with a wry smile.
In the past, Li En's realm was too low and he couldn't see the depth of his master. Now his realm is high and he feels qualified to have a glimpse of his master's true cultivation, but he can't see his master anymore.
"That's it. If you have a chance in the future, please let me meet his old man." Alleria said solemnly with a hint of regret.
"Definitely. I think you should be very fond of his old man. He likes to drink. He likes it very much and he can drink it very well."
"That's really good news."
Alleria said, I am good at drinking. My drinking ability is at the same level as my swordsmanship.
"Well, let's stop chatting here. Let me first pay my respects to your 'Hatsuba Itto-ryu'."
PS: I still stick to my previous opinion about Ba Ye. The seven types in Rean's secrets are his seven moves, not the name of the seven types. For example, there is a style of Heavy Snow Slash in Wind Sword. How can it be called six types? And this is also in line with my explanation of the importance of the eight leaves and not the heavy meaning. If the third and sixth were really Karmic Flame Strike and Feiyan Slash, then Baye's force level would be lower and he would be restrained by the Fire Limit.
