The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

"You kid, don't run around when you have nothing to do recently. Just follow me and learn the sword...many strange and powerful 'Qi' suddenly appeared in the territory. Maybe they are coming with bad intentions."

"oh!"

Raymond nodded, and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Teacher, I have always had a question that puzzles me. How do you tell the direction when you can't see anything? I seem to think you always know.

Where I am, I know where the bottles are, I know where the steps are..."

He had never thought about this.

He had never seen the blind old man use a guide stick or something to know the way, but he didn't need anyone to remind him at all. He knew where to turn and where there were street lights like a normal person... The old man could easily avoid everyone, even

Can clearly identify potholes and avoid gaps in masonry on the ground.

“Listen carefully and you will discover the ‘voice of the wind’.”

"I probably understand Ting Feng Bian Wei... But street lamps are dead objects that don't move. How can they make a sound?"

Raymond looked confused.

Blind people can distinguish living things, but they cannot distinguish dead things, even extraordinary people are no exception.

But the old man in front of him had no influence at all.

If two people were fighting, you could tell the direction in which the sword was coming. Raymond was not surprised, after all, the movement of the sword energy breaking the wind was not small.

But a blind man can accurately avoid the raised bricks under his feet while walking. How do you think he does this?

"The street lights are not moving, but the wind is moving. The sound of the wind blowing on different objects is different. Although it may sound similar to ordinary people, as long as you distinguish it carefully, you will find that the sound of the wind has actually changed the outline of everything.

Picture it... You think I didn't see anything, but in fact, in my perception, the surrounding environment is clear... I know that directly in front of us is a steeple hut, with three steps at the door, and the number plate on the door is loose

It's about to fall off; thirty steps further there is an alley on the left, and there are eighteen rats in it digging through the trash can..."

The world of navigation is the world of the ocean.

Although Philip Territory looks the same as the city in the previous life, it is just a series of steel islands floating on the sea. The sea breeze is blowing in this city all the time. The sea breeze is poured into the streets and alleys, and the wind can be heard everywhere.

sound.

Raymond listened for a while, and the noisy sounds suddenly flooded into his ears. It sounded like a hodgepodge, "The wind is moving? Why do I feel that there is no difference?"

The old blind man: "You have to learn to peel off the cocoons of sounds, and separate out the mixed sounds in your ears one by one, in order to distinguish what is what..."

Raymond still didn't understand the reason. He didn't give up and said, "What about the dungeon before? It's a sealed basement and there's no wind. How can you tell the direction?"

The old blind man: "Where there is air flow, there is wind...our breathing and every move will bring wind. Although it is imperceptible to ordinary people, it is not difficult for a blind man like me...

"

It sounds a bit like a bat's sonic pathfinding, which sounds a bit mysterious.

I don’t know how strong I am,

Although he didn't understand it, it didn't stop him from being curious about this "listening to the wind" skill.

Raymond's eyes were shining, and he asked tentatively: "Teacher, can I learn this 'Listen to the Feng and Define the Position'?"

The old blind man affirmed, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Raymond instantly became energetic.

But before he had time to be happy, he heard the old man's joking tone.

"If you really want to learn it... just poke your eyes blind and wait for ten or twenty years, and you will learn it naturally. Of course, if your extraordinary sequence awakens the ability to enhance the perception of the ears and eyes, it will be faster to learn this."

"...."

Blind eyes?

Raymond rolled his eyes.

Oh, you know how to make fun of people?

"Are you making a strange expression?"

"You can 'see' all this?"

"Your Qi has changed. The Qi you reveal is different depending on your emotions."

[Ding! Teaching by words and deeds, the skill is being learned...'Gan Qi (a)' skill is being learned, the current progress is 1%...]

"Hey, this...is it another prerequisite skill of 'Seeing and Hearing Haki'?"

See the system prompt,

Raymond stared at the old blind man fiercely,

Suddenly I felt like a pie fell from the sky.

If the system prompts like this, then the old man is really teaching skills!

He had already learned "Hostility Perception" before, and now he has to learn this "Qi Qi" skill again. Doesn't it also meet all the prerequisites required for the fusion of the divine skill of "Hostility Perception"?

The Haki of Knowledge and Information is like a radar in the game, it is invincible and easy to use.

It can display small light spots on the player's operation interface. The red ones are hostile targets, the yellow ones are neutral, and the green ones are friendly. Anything alive can't hide... It's simply a god for PK, monsters, and bosses.

Skill!

However, these two pre-requisite skills are extremely difficult to obtain in the game. There is no inherited physical skill book and can only be learned by high-level NPCs who teach them personally. They are not mass-produced at all. Obtaining either of them requires great opportunities.

, you also need to gain full affection with a specific NPC and complete complicated task chains.

Therefore, even in the middle and late stages, among the billions of players around the world, there are very few high-level players who can really learn the two prerequisite skills and finally integrate them into the domineering power of knowledge and knowledge.

Leveling up like Raymond can only be done through forums.

"I don't know how this kind of domineering power exists in the real world..." Raymond muttered in his heart, full of expectation.

He has already escaped many fatal crises because of the skill "Hostility Sense". If he really learns "Sense Qi" again, he can even directly merge it into the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing...

Apart from anything else, my ability to survive has definitely made a qualitative leap!

Raymond rubbed his hands and said with a flattering look on his face: "Teacher, is the 'Qi' you are talking about the true energy of an extraordinary person?"

"'Zhenqi' is a type of Qi, but it does not refer to completeness. There is also the 'qi' of life, the 'spiritual energy' of animals and plants, and the 'death energy' of the undead... If you can sense it in people

The existence of Qi, then even without using your eyes, you will feel that the ball of Qi on a person's body is like a flame in the dark night, and people can never ignore its existence..."

The blind old man had sincerely meant to teach him this skill.

Without waiting for Raymond to try his best,

He then slowly explained: "If you want to use 'Qi' to distinguish emotional changes, there is still a long way to go. What you have to do now is to first perceive the existence of Qi."

"Close your eyes and feel with your heart..."

"What?"

Raymond was confused by what he heard. He felt that the old man's voice was a bit hypnotic, which made him feel his eyelids sinking and closing slowly without realizing it.

The next moment, he seemed to have fallen into a completely dark world. He could no longer distinguish things with his eyes. He couldn't see or touch. It was like his five senses had been stripped away, and there was darkness in his perception...

Sudden,

He watched as a small flame slowly lit up in the darkness.

At first, the flame was only as big as a match head, but when he focused all his attention on the flame, he suddenly found that it was burning fiercely... In a blink of an eye, he "saw" the flame was constantly sensing The moderate fever becomes more and more intense, gradually flowing and converging into the seven meridians and eight meridians of the human body, and finally turns into a flaming human figure.

Is this the "qi" in humans?

"Teacher, I feel it! I feel the existence of 'Qi'!"

Raymond opened his eyes suddenly and shouted excitedly.

Didn’t the teacher say that it took him several years to feel Qi?

I am such a genius that I felt it in such a short time!

Wow, that must be it...

Even without a system, I am still a unique genius!

But within three seconds of being happy, I was immediately poured cold water on my heart.

He took a closer look and saw that the old man in front of him was full of vitality. The raging vitality burst out like a Super Saiyan, and the waves of energy were overwhelming.

"You can only feel it after I guided you like this... Do you still have the nerve to be happy?"

The old man had a look of disgust on his face and said quietly: "In order to guide you, kid, I have released my true energy so hard that it hurts my hands. It's strange that you can't feel it!"

"Well..."

This result,

It seems a little different from what I guessed.

What about the peerless talent I was talking about...

Why did the old man's tone sound like he could just replace it with a different pig?

As soon as I said this, the sense of accomplishment I felt just now was instantly wiped away.

Raymond's face twitched and he muttered awkwardly: "I thought I was a genius. It turns out that the teacher released too much energy..."

This made him very frustrated.

At this time, the old man said again: "I will use the secret method of 'forcing the sword to tap the heart' to guide you to get started with perception. You should study hard... Probably, these stable days will not be long..."

...

Fast forward nearly two months,

Lei Mengye's swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of the old man.

Only then did he finally understand why Aphra had seen through at a glance that his swordsmanship was unfashionable without the guidance of a famous master, and why she looked down upon him in every possible way.

After all, the world of navigation is not a game.

Upgrading skills by relying solely on skill points is like a castle in the air built with building blocks, without a solid foundation. Even if the moves look the same, the final effects are vastly different.

There is a simple move in the basic swordsmanship called "drawing the sword with a virtual step". In the game, this is a sword-drawing assault skill that all professional swordsman players can learn and use.

But now Raymond knows that if you really face a swordsman of the same level who is guided by a famous master, even if you figure out the level, you can't even draw the sword with this move.

The old man taught him the details of the sequence of exerting force. Starting from the ground, exerting force with the waist, shaking it on the wrist... and then reverse the sequence of exerting force, he could keenly grasp what the opponent would do if he used the same move. Are there any such detailed changes?

This is also the so-called "prejudgment" move, the most important technical support. Only when you have a solid enough foundation to deduce it backwards can you predict as much as possible what moves the opponent will make next.

The essence of "Jokudou Itto-ryu" is not to slash at random with high speed, but to be able to predict the opponent's offensive and strike first with the power of thunder, or strike first and overwhelm the opponent with speed, allowing the opponent to even attack in succession.

There is no chance to recruit.

Raymond's previous path has completely gone astray!

Learning skills from a skill book is like directly telling you the result of a fixed program of 11=2.

And if you have the guidance of a famous teacher, he will teach you that 31-2 is also equal to 2.

Same results, different algorithms, and completely different ideas.

In addition to skills, what famous teachers teach is to help students open up their minds so that they can draw inferences from one example. If you continue to explore with this kind of thinking, you can go further and further, instead of being stuck on fixed moves.

Although he didn't know how far the old man had reached the realm of swordsmanship, there were a lot of personal things mixed in between the lines in the old man's words, and he already had the air of a master of swordsmanship.

Since realizing this, Raymond's skill proficiency has risen as fast as a rocket.

He found that it was no longer so strenuous when fighting Dunn to the death. He no longer had the aggrieved feeling of having his tricks cracked and being plotted against at every turn.

Gradually, he changed from a situation where he was beaten by Dunn so much that he was running around and being beaten passively, to a situation where he was evenly matched.

Although he would also be beaten, he gradually understood what the "Jokudou Itto-ryu" inherited.

...

On this day,

When Raymond came back from learning the sword from the old man, he looked like a pig's head after being beaten all over.

"The old man is really a bully... I don't want to use any force."

He touched the big green bump on his forehead and grimaced in pain.

The sense of accomplishment that came from killing Dunn with swordsmanship not long ago was completely wiped away by the old man today.

Ever since Dunn died, Raymond had no opponent, and the old man had demonstrated it himself.

A bamboo knife whipped Raymond, making him cry for his father and mother.

Although he is said to be a disciple, the old guy is not merciful at all, and he even feels more cunning and ruthless than that guy Dunn.

Raymond also realized that there really is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

Even putting aside the difference in realm, the old man's bamboo sword could easily kill him.

With sword skills alone, against a master of this level, he wouldn't even have a chance to draw his sword.

"How on earth did this old man do it... My physical strength is not what it used to be. A training tool like a bamboo knife, even if someone breaks it, it won't hurt me. How can he knock a bag and still have it?"

Can you hit my Mihu blade head-on? Could it be the legendary Haki? That's not right... The level of Haki's comprehension is very limited. No matter how high the old man's realm is, he can't reach that level..."

Raymond was full of doubts.

He touched the key in his hand and opened the door.

"Why did you come back so late?"

In the apartment, Anna was packing her things and seemed to be getting ready to go out.

She glanced at Raymond and laughed, "Did you get beaten again?"

"..."

Raymond had long been used to her teasing, and asked: "You still want to go out so late?"

"Um."

Anna said, directly took out a ring, put it on Raymond's finger, and ordered: "I'll keep this thing for you first."

"Huh?"

Raymond looked at the space ring handed over by Anna and looked at it curiously.

When he could see clearly what was inside the ring, his pupils suddenly shrank.

In the Hex space, there are not only the Crown of Silence and the Magic Pistol, but also mountains of gold coins and trading company gold tickets. Obviously, here are all the funds she has accumulated over the years for the restoration of the country.

"Oh, isn't this your little treasury? Are you so confident that you can give it to me? Are you afraid that I will abscond with the money?"

Raymond laughed and joked.

On weekdays, when Huahua borrowed some money from her, she repeatedly told her to pay it back. What happened today, that she actually handed over all her belongings to her with such confidence?

"Hey, hey, captain, this is just for your temporary custody. You can't touch a single gold coin!"

Anna squinted her eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in her crystal eyes, and said pitifully: "Moreover, you have the nerve to take advantage of your future navigator? I regard you as my most trusted person now, and you really want to abscond with the money,

Doesn’t your conscience hurt..."

Ever since the friendship between the two reached "Intimacy", Anna has really lost her guard against Raymond at all. To her, the most valuable ring in this ring is the "Crown of Silence" that hides the secrets of the kingdom.

At the beginning, he could entrust it to him without hesitation; now, of course, he can entrust all his wealth to him.

"It doesn't hurt! Of course it won't hurt!"

Raymond's eyes were shining with $$ gold, and he pretended to look like a pig brother, "I am your captain, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine..."

"Bah!"

Anna puffed out her cheeks, akimbo, and said quietly: "I'm warning you, don't do anything bad with this money. They are military expenses that I have spent so many years collecting with great difficulty... You really

If you need it urgently, remember to come back and replenish it when the time comes."

"Haha, I got it, Money Man! Also, you haven't said yet, where are you going? Why are you talking like you're parting from life or death..."

Raymond said this and suddenly realized something was wrong.

He looked at Anna's eyes flashing strangely, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"What's the matter? Stop thinking so wildly."

Anna smiled easily, held Raymond's pig-headed face in her hands, rubbed it vigorously and said, "Just in case!"

"It hurts, don't rub it."

Raymond gritted his teeth in pain and took a breath, then said: "Then where are you going?"

Anna shrugged, trying to sound calm, and said: "There is something going on over there at Jinya. I want to go over and take a look."

After a pause, she continued to explain: "The Blood Skull Pirates are leaderless because of the trouble with the Gustav family. They sent word to Uncle Goldtooth that they intend to merge and reorganize the fleet."

When Raymond heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of conspiracy and reminded: "Anna, didn't you think there was something fishy about the Gustav family last time? I'm afraid the motives of the Blood Skeleton are not that simple."

Obviously, Anna felt the same way, otherwise she would not have entrusted all her belongings to Raymond just in case.

She frowned slightly and said: "I also analyzed the evidence in detail later. Although the evidence of the Gustav family's collusion with the Blood Skull is conclusive, there are too many doubts when I think about it carefully..."

Raymond wondered: "Then why are you going? Why don't you just leave these matters to Da Jinya? After all, he is the leader."

"The real controller of the Blood Skull will also show up this time. They also guessed that there are members of the Campbell royal family behind the gold tooth, and they specifically asked to see me. If I don't show up, things will definitely not happen this time."

When Anna said this, she didn't know if she had a bad premonition, but her face was not as relaxed as his tone.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "I have to go take a look after all... After all, if we can really merge the Blood Skeleton fleet, we will have a super powerful new combat force, and the plan to restore the country will also be

It gives me a little more confidence.”

Raymond frowned when he heard this, always feeling that this matter was not that simple.

Anna saw that Raymond's face was not very good, so she took out towels and potions from the cabinet, and skillfully helped him clean the blood scars and wounds on his face.

"You don't have to worry too much. If there is any conspiracy, wouldn't there be Uncle Jinya and the others? Besides, the place of negotiation this time is on Jinya's ship island, so there won't be any problems."

"Do you have to go?"

"Um."

Raymond sat on the sofa and let Anna help him clean the wound.

These days when he was practicing sword fighting, he got beaten a lot. When he came back, she helped him with the medicine. Normally, he still enjoyed this process and always felt comfortable both physically and mentally. But for some reason, he always felt weird at the moment, as if his heart was clouded.

There was a layer of depressing clouds, as if I was about to lose something.

"Don't move around. There's still a wound here that hasn't healed... Oops, the injury is really serious..."

Anna half-knelt in front of Raymond and carefully cleaned his wounds, not shying away from this intimate gesture.

Raymond raised his eyes and could see her flawless pretty face. Her red eyes were beautiful, as pure as bright rubies in a clear blue pool, shining with red light, and her eyelashes were long and curved.

, people can’t move their eyes away from looking at it...

"Hey, hey, hey...that's enough. Don't you know it's rude to stare at a girl like this?"

"..."

"Don't stay silent...or else, keep talking about five gold coins?"

"..."

"You said... what if, what if! If one day, I am caught by the navy or someone from the Salo family, will you come to save me?"

"meeting."

"Oh, this answer is very nice~ Haha, I knew you would answer like this."

"You promised me to be my navigator. If you are captured, I will definitely come to rescue you."

"Oh, if I don't want to be your navigator, why don't you come to save me?"

"Well, I will definitely not save you!"

"Hey, hey, do you want to be so realistic? Have you been expecting me to be really caught, and then I will become rich, and all my property will be yours..."

"Although I won't admit it with my mouth, I seem to think so in my heart."

"..."

As Anna spoke, she didn't know what she thought of, and a little tears flashed in her eyes.

"Forget it, if something happens to me, these things can just be treated as gifts given to you once we got to know each other. You don't have to take risks to save me. It's best to forget about me..."

"Don't think nonsense. I will take good care of your things and return them to you when you come back."

"If, if I really have an accident..."

"No ifs! If you are caught, I will definitely come to save you."

"Hey, why are you so stupid! Do you know how powerful the navy is? Do you know how powerful the Salo regime is now?"

"So what? Even if you are captured and taken to the Navy Headquarters, I will definitely come."

"Ouch...Are you confessing your love to me again? It's really making people a little wary~ cluck..."

Sigh... No wonder that silly girl Eileen keeps saying that every time, saying that what you promise will be done...

That's why I'm worried,

Fool.
