The World of Pirates

Chapter 8
Strolling in the open space behind the tavern, Li Cha gradually adjusted the harmony between breathing and footwork.

If you use a precise instrument to measure, you will find that Li Cha's breathing interval is almost the same as the length of his steps.

This is Richard's precise grasp of space and time.

His left hand rested on the wooden knife at his waist. This was Li Cha's third wooden knife, and the length reached 70 centimeters.

As Li Cha continued to practice, his understanding of the control of the body continued to deepen. Naturally, Li Cha gradually became aware of the most suitable knife for him.

[I am now proficient in various slashing methods, and I have done a lot of exercises in different postures of the body, and I have reached a certain level of control over the body.What level is my swordsmanship now? 】

Thanks to the help of the panel model, the current Li Cha cuts out with a single knife, and the bones and muscles of the whole body are integrated to exert force, and the force flows, and everything is satisfactory.

"Sa~sa~sa~", there is a big mahogany tree next to the backyard of the tavern, a gust of wind blows, the leaves on the tree break away from the branches, and fly all over the sky.

After a few turns, the fallen leaves drifted towards Li Cha.

I saw Li Cha's naturally drooping right hand standing in the center of the backyard suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, Li Cha had already swung his knife!

"Tch", before a fallen leaf could react, it had already been cut in half.

Li Cha didn't stop, he kicked the ground with his toes, and sent his body forward, another dark knife shadow flashed by, and another fallen leaf was also cut open.

Li Cha's figure kept flickering in the open space, and the wooden knife in his hand kept waving.

Suddenly, Li Cha stabilized his figure under the tree, the wooden knife was still inserted obliquely in the left waist, lightly pressed with the left hand, and the right hand naturally drooped.

"Huh—" Li Cha let out a long breath.The fallen leaves behind him had all been chopped into two pieces.

On this day, Li Cha chopped off all the fallen leaves.

"Oh, this hand is so gaudy, if it is put on the earth, I should be able to be called a saint and a ancestor immediately." Li Cha shook his head and smiled wryly.

In order to achieve this step, Li Cha spent six months, 180 three days and nights, except for sleeping, he never stopped practicing.

Now Li Cha has reached the fine-grained state of "shooting the sword at will, stopping the force at will".

Open the properties panel:
Name: Richard

年龄：11岁4天12小时28分52秒

Height: 142.3 cm
Constitution: 11.2
Power: 9.5
Agility: 15.6
Intelligence: 9
Skill: I flow swordsmanship lv2 (detailed)
A few days ago, Li Cha's physical age turned 11 years old, his height has grown by more than ten centimeters in the past six months, and his swordsmanship skills have also reached lv2.

[Physique, strength, and agility are still growing steadily, but intelligence is not moving at all. Is my style of painting wrong? It won't become the appearance of well-developed limbs and simple mind. 】

Li Cha's physique and strength are almost ten times that of ordinary people, and his agility is close to 16 points.And the intelligence that was originally thriving is now the lowest.

[Practical combat experience cannot be said to be lacking, it can only be said to be none at all.Working behind closed doors can only be done to this extent. 】

Although Li Cha often imagines that an opponent is attacking during meditation, and then uses the character model on the panel to simulate different coping methods, the experience of actually fighting people is always different from the simulation.

The character model on the panel is simulated based on Li Cha's body data and Li Cha's past experience, and Li Cha's actual combat experience in this world can be said to be nothing.

"It's time to change to a real sword." Li Cha drew out the wooden knife again and held it in his hand for a closer look.

Because of the violent swing just now, it can be seen that the blade of the wooden knife has cracks.The material of the black sunken wood is really hard to withstand Richard's exertion now.

Putting the wooden knife back into his waist, Li Cha turned and walked towards the tavern.

"Uncle, thank you for a glass of milk." When he came to the tavern, Li Cha said to Jon who was wiping the glass at the bar.

Jon didn't speak, put down his glass, and poured a glass of milk for Li Cha.

Looking at the boy who was sipping milk in front of him, it was the same as half a year ago, except that it was late at night and now it was noon, and the boy had already grown a head taller.

There were only a few drunkards in the tavern, mumbling what they were talking about.There is no need to unload the goods this morning, and the ingredients have already been processed by Mrs. Mary in advance, so Li Cha was practicing sword in the backyard just now.

Jon looked at the wooden knife on the boy's waist, and he could see blood stains on the handle.

Obviously it was just a ridiculous toy, but wearing it around the boy's waist gave him a charming aura, making Jon afraid to look him in the eyes.

I don't know when it started, maybe three months ago, maybe two months ago, Li Cha gradually gained a fierce aura.

This made Jon gradually afraid to yell at Li Cha, but fortunately, Li Cha was never lazy in doing things, and always finished things in the tavern beautifully, so it was hard for him to say anything.Li Cha's appetite, which was often talked about before, gradually acquiesced later.

Regarding Jon's change, Li Cha was naturally happy.

"Is that cheat book really that powerful?" Jon muttered in a low voice, wondering if the boy heard it.

"The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword" Richard had already returned it to Jon, and Jon didn't continue to use it as a table foot, but treasured it up.

It's just that Jon doesn't know that it's never the cheats that are powerful, but the people.

A peerless swordsmanship must be used by someone to show its power.Moreover, "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword" is really just basic swordsmanship.

Li Cha finished drinking the milk, put the cup on the bar counter, and said gently: "Uncle, I want to ask for leave today to go around the town, is that okay?"

Even though Li Cha thought he was already very gentle, Jon still didn't dare to look into Li Cha's eyes, only felt that Li Cha's eyes were like steel knives gesticulating on his body, which made Jon feel uncomfortable for a while.

Jon's feeling is indeed correct - because Li Cha's mind is full of research on how to get out the knife the fastest and how to cut the vulnerable parts of the human body every day. He is close to madness, and now he can't help but want to cut him when he sees a living person The impulse of a knife.

Quickly lowering his head, Jon replied: "Okay, uh...it's not bad to go around the town..."

Hearing that Jon agreed, Li Cha turned around and left. He has always acted swiftly and resolutely.

Li Cha needs a real sword now, but there is no place to buy or sell swords in the town.

In the past six months, Li Cha has also paid attention to the weapons of merchant sailors, most of them are machetes and sailor knives. Once, he met a sailor with a bayonet, but these are not to Li Cha's liking, no matter in terms of shape or quality.

At first, Li Cha planned to find a blacksmith to order a knife, but there was no blacksmith shop on Hongmu Island.

There were originally, but at that time the new trade roads had not yet been opened, and the Redwood Island was far less lively than it is now, so the business of the blacksmith shop was not very good.

Blacksmithing builds a strong body, but in the face of poverty, it seems a little weak.So the blacksmith, unwilling to be poor, went to sea to become a pirate.

Li Cha asked for leave because he wanted to go to the original blacksmith shop to inspect the situation.After all, bought ready-made swords are not as easy to use as customized ones, and swords made by others are not as smooth to use as those forged by yourself.

Now Hongmu Island can be said to be "a waste of money waiting to be rebuilt", and Li Cha is going to fill the gap in the island's blacksmith industry.

That's right, Li Cha is going to switch from a tavern apprentice to a blacksmith.
