I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 60 I don’t like people who pretend to be smart (Please read on)

The morning running course was at twelve o'clock noon, and the disciples finished it one after another.

With only half an hour to rest, they immediately went to find water to drink, and after they recovered a little, they quickly took out some food they had brought with them to replenish their body's energy.

Although they all felt exhausted and their legs were numb and they didn't feel like moving, after seeing the master's calm and composed state, they all felt a desire in their hearts.

Half an hour later, everyone started today's upward lift exercises.

It was just because morning jogging consumed too much physical energy, so even the simplest sword-based slashing seemed extremely difficult to them, and they all began to grit their teeth and persevere.

"In the sword soul way, what you put in is bound to be rewarded. As long as you persevere, your practice day after day will not let you down."

"Although I am your master, I will not forbid you to do whatever you want to do according to your heart."

"But you need to remember that even if you take different paths in the future with the swordsmanship you learned from me, you must not forget the fundamentals of being a human being."

"What makes us human is that we have complex emotions and some bottom lines that we always stick to."

"As a sword spirit, you can be chivalrous and righteous, take revenge, and kill people to achieve certain goals, but you cannot cause meaningless killings."

"If you become stronger and stronger and lose your humanity, then you are not worthy of being called a human being, let alone a sword spirit."

Alvin spoke slowly as he looked at the many disciples who were covered in sweat but still insisted on practicing basic sword moves step by step.

Since he accepted these disciples, he naturally had to fulfill his responsibilities as a master and teach them the qualities of being sword spirits.

These disciples have all passed his initial test to judge their character, but character will change with time, strength, environment, and experiences.

Therefore, he did not dare to assert whether these disciples with kind hearts would embark on a cruel and evil path in the future and then die under the siege of other powerful people.

However, he is already a strong man, so he knows very well that the restrictions of numerous rules will not make the strong man's heart become kind.

On the contrary, those rules will be like shackles, constantly suppressing some evil thoughts deep in the hearts of the strong.

Once this strong man breaks free from the shackles, the evil thoughts that have been suppressed in the past will burst out at once, causing even worse vicious incidents.

Therefore, only appropriate shackles can evoke the goodness in the nature of the strong and gradually turn it into belief, allowing a strong person to always stick to certain bottom lines.

"Yes."

When the seventy disciples heard their master's teachings, they responded in unison, their voices so loud and powerful that they pierced the rafters of the house.

Their fundamental desire to become stronger is just to survive better in this chaotic world and to fulfill their own wishes.

Their wishes may not be great or ambitious, they just want to make their lives better, if they can meet their beloved wife, start a family and have children, and have enough strength to protect their family.

However, they also understand that wishes can change, and the master's teachings and instructions now hope that their wishes can change in the future, but not move in an inhuman direction.

When Alvin saw their responses, he felt that all these disciples were emitting serious expressions, so he didn't waste too much time talking.

Most of those present who were over 20 years old understood what he meant.

Those disciples who were only ten years old might not understand the meaning of these words yet, and there were confusion in their hearts.

But as long as they remember these words, there will always be a day when they will understand as they grow up and after experiencing some things.

After seeing that they persisted in their practice, Alvin went straight to the Moonlight Tavern and asked Sosia to prepare a lunch for him.

After finishing his lunch, he started practicing again.

As he used the Dragon Sky Slash footwork more and more times, he became more and more adept at using it, and the amount of fighting spirit he consumed each time was getting less and less.

It turns out that true knowledge comes from actual combat, and he still has too many skills that he has yet to practice and hone.

However, some skills were not suitable to be used in front of so many disciples at the moment. Otherwise, they would be distracted one by one and would not want to learn the way of sword soul but would want to learn the other three branches of ghost swordsman instead.

However, the other three branches of Ghost Swordsman each require a heavy price to pay, and are not suitable for large-scale recruitment and direct teaching.

Even if he intended to guide a hundred people onto the paths of Berserker and Devil May Cry, he didn't know if any one of them would survive.

So now he could only wait until there was no one around and practice slowly until he became familiar with it.

Although the temple does not restrict these disciples from entering, these disciples will not persist in practicing continuously in the temple if they are physically and mentally exhausted after a day of practice.

The time slowly came to two o'clock in the afternoon.

Alvin walked out of the dojo and met a total of 113 students who hoped to become disciples of the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

"You, you, you, and you..."

He didn't waste any words. He directly sensed the emotional fluctuations emanating from these people's hearts and directly named thirty-two people.

When these people were originally chosen, they were quite excited and thrilled, thinking that they were directly chosen and could be enrolled in the Ghost Swordsman Dojo.

But what Ivan said next made them feel shattered.

"Everyone I just called can go back, and the rest of you can come with me into the dojo and talk."

Ivan's expression and tone were extremely calm. After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the dojo.

When the students who were not called heard this, they suppressed their excitement and followed.

However, the students who were called out and asked to go back suppressed their anger.

"Sir Ivan, may I know why?"

"I have already asked the disciples you have accepted. As long as they can practice fighting spirit normally and have good character, they can become your disciples."

"Although my level is only LV33, I am still young, only years old, and I can cultivate both fighting spirit and magic power at the same time."

"I think I have met your request to accept you as my disciple."

A young man with blond hair and gorgeous clothes looked at Ivan's back and said loudly with some excitement:
These words, which seem like inquiries but are actually more like interrogations and self-righteousness, are uttered.

Ivan paused and looked back at him. A visible wave directly enveloped the blond man.

The terrifying bloody murderous aura made the blond man's face change suddenly. With a thud, his knees softened and he knelt down.

"I don't like arrogant fools who don't know what they are doing, and I don't like fools who are hypocritical and try to play tricks on me with their poor acting skills."

"Each of you may appear to be sincere and humble on the surface, but you are actually emitting waves of arrogance from head to toe."

"So you have been eliminated in the character test."

"Although you have come to me to be my disciple, accepting a disciple is something that should be mutually agreed upon, and you are not yet my disciples."

"So even if I eliminate you, there is no reason to deliberately make things difficult for you."

"You should be more sensible and retreat on your own initiative. If we meet again in the future, there will be no grudges between us."

"But if you continue to make trouble here and seek your own death, don't blame me for being merciless."

Ivan's voice was as cold as the wind, explaining the reason and warning these arrogant people not to be clever.
