Of course Rean didn't do it on the spur of the moment.
There are only three ways to ascend the martial arts and improve your strength.
Teachers guide, practice hard on your own, and practice.
The teacher's guidance can tell you the most correct way to practice and avoid detours.
Practicing hard on your own is the real climb and journey. If the teacher shows you the way, if you don't follow it, no matter how smooth the road is or how fast the shortcut is, there will be no way.
The actual battle is to find the way to climb that best suits you. Once you have a path and are willing to go, how you go next is also important. When it's time to use both hands and feet, you insist on using only your feet. When it's time to walk normally, you insist on crawling, but you still can't walk fast or far.
Rean's ability to become a swordsman at the age of twenty is precisely the result of paying equal attention to all three.
Needless to say, the teacher's guidance is that the "Sword Immortal" Yunkafai is a famous and extremely strong man throughout Semlia. The "Eight Leaves and One Sword Style" created by him has created a legend that Okuden is the reason.
In addition, Rean also received guidance from various strong people on the road of growth, including more than one hand of extraordinary strong ones.
Not to mention practicing hard on my own. Ever since I picked up the sword, unless I was too weak to move, I would practice every day in the morning and evening, both internally and externally, without daring to slack off at all.
Finally, actual combat.
This is the most exaggerated. The number of extraordinary strong men who have fought with Rean has exceeded two hands, and the number of extraordinary people is even more staggering.
With such rich experience, even if he is not the first person in history, he is definitely among the best.
It is worth mentioning that actual combat and guidance have an inclusive relationship, with the former including the latter.
However, there are differences depending on the strength gap and on-site conditions. Based on the standard of going all out, most of the extraordinary experts who have taught Rean have fought with Rean and Rean's companions with all their strength, with the exception of two people.
One is the sword fairy Yun Kafai. After teaching Rean to the first pass, he left. Rean never saw him again. At that time, Rean was not qualified to make the Sword Immortal take him seriously.
The second one is the "Sword Master" Cassius in front of him.
Before coming back, he was the one who taught the secrets of Rean on his behalf.
However, in order to help Rean overcome his confusion and understand his true intentions during the teaching, he specifically imitated Rean in fighting and did not use his usual weapon stick, so his strength was subject to many limitations.
After Li En understood the secret and became a sword master, both of them were exhausted and had no energy to fight anymore.
What followed was the decisive battle. Rean left Samria with a curse and fell into darkness forever, so he never had a real competition with his senior brother.
Although Rean was not a martial arts fanatic like Alleria, he still regarded this incident as a regret.
Given the chance to do it again, of course I want to make amends.
Besides, he really had doubts about "Spiral", especially after the battle with Alleria.
Cassius understood the principles through a type of "spiral" and had the deepest understanding of this type. It was perfect to ask him to answer questions and solve doubts.
In addition, Alleria said that communicating with warriors of the same realm would help complete her sword, so Rean would never let go of the opportunity to fight Cassius.
However, fighting requires the consent of both parties. If Rean wants to have a good fight, Cassius must be willing to cooperate.
Rean was full of fighting spirit, but his expression was calm, and he pointed apologetically at the stick on his back.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I haven't wielded a knife in almost twenty years."
Rean knew about this. Although he didn't know the specific reason, Cassius did give up the sword and use the stick very early, and he didn't even persuade his master to persuade him, which shows his firm will.
But someone who was so determined to give up the sword did not hesitate to break his principles in order to teach Rean the secrets and allow Rean to better face the final battle. This kind of kindness Rean will never forget in his life.
But today, Rean would naturally not ask for advice on something as superficial as simple sword moves.
What he wanted to see was the essence behind the shape of the knife. The principle he understood from the "spiral" was that it didn't matter what weapon he used.
Rather, the more advantageous the weapon, the more suitable it is for Cassius to perform, allowing Rean to get a glimpse of the real "spiral".
So the answer is obvious, brother, just use the stick technique.
However, before Rean could speak, Cassius added: "Compared to me, there are two people who are more suitable as your opponents."
Rean knew who he was referring to. When he met Cassius, the people who had dismissed their warnings returned one after another and stood nearby.
As soon as he saw the swords at their waists, Li En knew what was going on. It's just that the two of them arrived a little late. They were reunited with their relatives and Li En broke the news. There was no room for interjection, and it has been delayed until now.
While casting his gaze, Cassius began to introduce:
"This is Alan Richard, the president of the private investigation company R&A. He also has business in the empire. If you need help in future actions, you can contact me through them. You can also entrust them with some matters that are not particularly troublesome. Handle it."
"Then thank you, senior brother. I may need to trouble Mr. Richard in the future. Please give me your advice."
Rean had read Alan Richard's experience in the secret files of the "Intelligence Agency".
Former Colonel Wang was arrested for the coup and later released after setting up a private investigation company.
After a little thinking, I realized that this investigation company was closely related to Liber. Alan Richard himself was also registered in the "Intelligence Bureau", and his rating was only lower than Cassius.
"Please give me more advice." Richard smiled and nodded.
"Is Mr. Richard a disciple of senior brother?" Li En asked.
"He is a student, but not a formal disciple, because he only learned the 'Zangetsu' kata and not the other katas. But don't underestimate him because of this. If he doesn't learn, it doesn't mean he can't learn it, but it's not necessary. Learn it." After Waning Moon, he found the path to take and made his own way."
Hearing what Cassius said, Rean felt a chill in his heart, and Laura was even more awe-struck.
The journey of martial arts does not mean that you will be good if you learn more, but you must pay attention to the appropriateness, the appropriate weapons, the appropriate style, and the appropriate direction of progress.
Laura has learned all the Alside style but still hasn't found the door to a higher realm, just because she hasn't found the path that suits her best. On the other hand, Richard has already touched the door. Even if he is not reasonable now, he will enter this realm sooner or later.
Then, Rean turned his attention to the woman next to Richard.
This time, without Cassius’ introduction, she spoke herself:
"My name is Yanelas Elfeld. I don't know if grandpa has ever told you about me. I've heard about you a long time ago, Junior Brother Li En."
"It turns out to be Senior Sister Yanelas. I have heard your name a long time ago. Li En Shuhuaze has met Senior Sister." Li En immediately bowed respectfully.
