Pirates: I Can See Experience Points

Connor didn't know whether they were meridians or not, but the oxygen he absorbed through breathing methods was transported to every corner of the body through similar "human highways"!

He suspected that if he deeply practiced the water breathing method and continued to study and evolve it, he might be able to reach the state of transporting oxygen to every cell.

At that time, the mitochondria will be fully functioning, producing more energy, and causing more beneficial changes in cell growth and cell cycle.

Of course, it is still too early to say this for Connor, who has only learned the shallow water breathing method.

In this way, Connor sat cross-legged on the big rock by the sea, closed his eyes and practiced the water breathing method for a whole night.

The next day, when the aroma of food from the villagers' homes in Shuangyue Village wafted to the beach, Connor's nose moved and he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the rising sun in the distance and let out a long breath of white breath.

"I actually fell asleep practicing yesterday. It's really..." Connor twisted his neck, stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body, and began to consciously replace his previous breathing method with water breathing.

The few recreational time he had in the hospital was spent reading books and watching cartoons. The books were inspirational books, and the cartoons were inspirational and passionate cartoons.

His mother heard about this method from the nurse in the hospital. The nurse said, "Auntie, young boys nowadays like to watch these. Moreover, the protagonist's indomitable spirit is worth learning from Connor."

"

Although, at that time, he had been bedridden for many years and was no longer a "young boy", his mother stubbornly believed that her child would still be a teenager until his death!

In an anime I once watched called "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", the teenagers in it seemed to have studied breathing techniques and tried to incorporate all the breathing techniques into their daily lives and even their sleep.

training in.

Connor's short-term goal is just this, to achieve permanent residency in the "Water Breathing Technique".

Connor jumped off the stone, picked up the "weight" placed beside the stone, and quickly ran around the coastline of Shuangyue Village. During the process, he met several villagers who had gone out for fishing early, and among them was the person who helped him guide him yesterday.

The uncle of formalities.

Connor stopped and ran to the big man who was carrying two large bamboo baskets of fish without breaking a sweat. He smiled and said hello, and then said hello to the uncle's companions before he started running again amidst the uncle's laughter.

.

By the time Connor finished his morning training, it was almost nine o'clock. He put down the weights and came to the dojo.

The dojo was still as crowded as yesterday, but what was different from yesterday was that after Connor came here today, someone actually took the initiative to give him a seat closer to Koshiro.

Connor bowed to Koushiro, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the dojo, and sat down politely.

After listening to Koushiro's lecture for a period of time yesterday, his experience points increased by fifty. Connor wanted to see if there would be an increase in experience points today.

He stared at the experience value in the upper left corner, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

After three hours of water breathing practice last night, and two hours of running and water breathing practice this morning, Connor's current experience value is: lv4: 384/1945+!

And because he has been performing the water breathing method, the number of experience points will increase by 3 every minute!

Koushiro looked around at the students who were attending the class, adjusted his glasses slightly, squinted his eyes and said, "Today we are going to explain the basics of kendo, which are the two basic movements of up and down strikes and diagonal strikes.

Let’s talk about the up and down chop first. There are four steps to the up and down chop.

The first step requires us to start from the middle position, hold the knife in both hands, and lift it straight upwards from bottom to top.

In the second step, keep the posture of the first step and step forward, sending the body forward. At this time, the raised knife cannot remain still. It must be slashed forward and downward while straightening the arms.

In the third step, the tip of the chopping knife stops about three centimeters from the ground. At this time, the left foot moves closer to the right foot. The left arm is attached to the abdomen, and the right hand is in front.

The fourth and final step is to return the knife to the middle position.

Regarding the up and down chop, many students present will think it is simple. However, in fact, there are many deviations in your movements. For example, from raising the knife to chopping, the knife must move on the center line of the body.

Moreover, your shoulders are too stiff. Remember, you must use your whole body's strength to reach the tip of the knife, so that such a chop will be powerful!

Finally, and the most common mistake you make, when raising the knife upwards, be careful that the soles of your feet do not leave the ground!

Okay, can any student come up and demonstrate the up-and-down chopping action?"

After Koushiro finished speaking, the students around him began to imitate the ostrich and became silent.

They have been learning basic movements for a long time, but sometimes they still make the stupid mistakes Koushiro mentioned.

If Koushiro hadn't specifically pointed out the mistakes in their movements, maybe those who came on stage to demonstrate would have rushed to be the first, but now... whoever comes on stage will be embarrassed.

"Connor, why don't you give it a try?" Koushiro glanced around and knew that these timid cowards like turtles were worried about making mistakes and being punished and laughed at. He didn't care. He was here to teach the villagers' swordsmanship and also

It's just a matter of teaching them some self-defense moves, and I don't expect them to have any great potential.

However, Connor, who gave him a strong impact at the training ground yesterday, gave him a slight sense of expectation.

Seeing that Koushiro called him by name again, Connor ignored the joy brought by another increase in experience points by one hundred, stood up slowly, and replied: "Yes, teacher."

Connor walked to the bamboo basket where the bamboo sword was placed, picked out a bamboo sword that felt good, returned to Koushiro, and under the watchful eyes of many of his fellow disciples, he slowly and standardly performed a set of up and down slashing movements.

He had practiced the vertical chop three thousand times yesterday, and now that he was doing it, it was as natural as breathing.

"Very good, the movements are very beautiful and powerful." Koushiro took the lead in praising, and then clapped gently. Seeing that the teacher gave such a high evaluation, the other students also woke up from a dream and started busy

Clap your hands and praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher." Connor put away his sword and saluted. Looking at the sword in his hand, he felt that it was too light. After upgrading again, his strength increased again. He felt that he could not lift the 600 kilogram dumbbell yesterday.

, now, it should be OK.

Koushiro smiled, pressed his hands, suppressed the students' voices, and said with a smile: "How about you explain and demonstrate the next diagonal chop?"

Connor nodded and did not refuse. When he explained, it was actually easier to discover his own flaws and problems.

So, Connor sat cross-legged next to Koushiro and started talking non-stop.

"A diagonal slash is also divided into four steps..."

"The first step is to raise the knife from the middle..."

"In the second step, raise the knife to the fixed point, deviate 45 degrees from the center line of the head, and strike diagonally from the upper right to the left..."

"third step……"

"the fourth step……"

Soon, after explaining all the essentials of the movements, Connor stood up, picked up the bamboo sword placed aside, and once again demonstrated the standard movement of an oblique slash.

Everyone applauded again.
