Chapter 32 Armament Haki and Reading Comprehension

In the afternoon, Vic reported to Kozaburo and brought some zebra meat for the old man to taste.

In the following days, Vic's life stabilized again. Vic seldom asked Koshiro for advice. He only needed to explain the big realms. After getting the key, Vic could open the door and go up. He didn't need to ask about small matters. Vic didn't want to do reading comprehension all the time.

The next level, Vic's reading comprehension, has been achieved. After saying so much, it means to gather the sword energy and then release it, and become a swordsman who can use flying slashes.

Flying Slash? This name is a bit low-key. This is an upgraded version of the sword energy. Vic calls it "Sword Qi". It is condensed from the sword energy and flies out of the sword under the control of a strong belief.

The improvement to this realm is the amount of sword energy, the degree of condensation, the range of the sword energy after condensation, the size of the belief that can emit sword energy, and the number of sword energy. A small sword energy can chop down trees, while a large sword energy like Hawkeye's can directly chop icebergs and shatter meteorites. The difference here is huge.

Vic knew that this realm was mainly an extension of sword energy and there was no bottleneck. He just had to proceed step by step. He couldn't give up on physical training, as it was the foundation of strength. His current two sets of combination punches for attack and avoidance were observation Haki and swordsmanship, which he couldn't give up either.

In his spare time, Vic would do some blacksmithing, accompany Kuina, make her some high-level spiritual food brought back from the mysterious island, improve her body, and urge her to run.

Vic was also running, but he was running with a small stone mountain on his back. Vic now learned to smile and live with his eyes blindfolded. Vic found that it did have its benefits. The things he perceived with his sight and hearing color became more detailed.

......

Three months passed quickly, and there was nothing left for Kozaburo to teach Vic. Vic had learned all the knife-forging skills he knew, and also learned the ability to identify metals. After all, he had the superpower of photographic memory.

Vic, who had learned the skill of sword-forging, used the best materials on the island to make a narrow-blade long sword, made exquisite patterns and accessories on it, and brought the sword back to Lep Island. Due to limited materials, Vic could only make the sword to the level of a sharp knife.

This time, Vic did not take the boat. He just used the Moon Walk to travel. He stopped to rest when he encountered boats and islands along the way. He killed the pirates when he encountered them and then rested again.

Vic has never encountered a devil fruit. He has been keeping an eye out, but still hasn't found one. There are very few devil fruits in the East China Sea.

In the original drama, there are few devil fruit users in the East China Sea, and the fruits are not necessarily discovered in the East China Sea. Luffy's Nika Fruit was brought by Red Hair, and Buggy's Shattering Fruit was also eaten on Roger's ship. Smoker's fruit is uncertain. Only the Slippery Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit are confirmed to be found in the East China Sea. There are also the Animal-type fruit of the user who killed Vic's parents. There are really too few of them. The peace in the East China Sea is also closely related to the scarcity of devil fruits.

After returning to Lep Island, Vic gave the sword to Rebecca. Rebecca was surprised when she saw the sword. The length of the blade was the same as the one she bought before, but the hilt, guard, decoration and color were more exquisite. Rebecca liked it very much.

Vic asked her to get familiar with the sword as soon as possible, as this sword would always be with her until better materials were available.

Vic didn't stay in the town for long, and returned to Shimotsuki Village to continue his kendo career.

After returning to the dojo, Vic came to Koshiro's meditation room. Koshiro was still the same, sticking to the ground and sitting there whenever anyone came.

Vic didn't know which realm he was in. He asked once and was told it was the natural realm. It was another reading comprehension question, but Vic couldn't solve it yet.

Vic came and sat down opposite Koshiro, and said to Koshiro, "Teacher, can I learn Armament Haki now?"

After waiting for a while, Koshiro seemed to come back to his senses. He replied: "With your physical fitness, there is no problem at all."

"Then teacher, can you teach me?" Vic asked again.

"Of course I can teach you, but my method is more difficult and time-consuming. The Armament Haki that I awakened when I practiced Armament Haki is a high-level application - the flow of Haki."

"Awakening and flow are learned together. Before the flow of Armament Haki is awakened, it cannot be used for attack and defense. It is not considered awakening Armament Haki. It requires a long period of accumulation and learning."

"This is the method of practicing Armament Haki in my hometown. It takes a long time. Even those with good talent need several years to master it. This method is not systematic and it tests one's talent. Those with poor talent will never be able to awaken it in their lifetime. Do you still want to learn it?" Koshiro said slowly. After Koshiro learned the flow of Armament Haki, he did not try to learn other ways of awakening.

This is the method of Wano Country. Direct awakening is Ryuo, but only very old samurai can do it. The threshold is very high and it takes a long time. But if you have the basics and can master the basic level of Armament Haki, then you can learn Ryuo quickly using this method.

Vic thought about it, what Koshiro meant was that it was just like learning mathematics, one is ordinary mathematics, the other is Mathematical Olympiad. If you skip ordinary mathematics and go to Mathematical Olympiad directly, you will have to scratch your scalp if you don't have good talent. People with good talent can directly learn mathematics through the Mathematical Olympiad, and the success is the advanced application of mathematics, so it takes more time.

This is not what Vic wants. He is not the kind of person who would practice in seclusion. He wants to join the navy and integrate into this great era.

In this world, it is very unsafe to not have armed color to protect yourself. You will be at a loss when encountering natural system. Of course, he believes that he has good talent, but no matter how good the talent is, it takes a long time to comprehend it.

Outside of Wano Country, the flow of Armament Haki is carried out in two stages. The first step is to awaken the Armament Haki, and the second step is to allow the Armament Haki in the body to flow.

But Wano Country is doing both at the same time, which is more difficult. I haven't awakened yet, so what can I use to flow? Directly comprehending the flow is a very mysterious practice mode, which will take a lot of time. Victor is not stupid. He ignores the serious teaching of the navy and follows you, Koshiro, to learn metaphysics.

You can't save time on studying, and the process of accumulating domineering energy is something that happens after awakening. Both methods are unavoidable, so why not improve while using it? This is both safe and time-saving. Just write down the methods of improving to a higher level, and you can use them when you upgrade in the future.

As long as I go to the navy, I can get the most systematic training in Armament Haki, and then improve quickly based on my physical talents. This is the most cost-effective.

Thinking of this, Vic said to Koshiro, "Teacher, please tell me the method, I will take a look."

"Okay then, I don't really recommend you to follow this method, but you can use it as a reference." Koshiro said calmly.

"Arrogance is a power hidden in everyone. You have to ask your heart where the power is hidden. Your heart will tell you. Once you find it, you can use it. If you activate it, you will be able to do anything."

"End?"

"It's over."

"That's what my father told me. That's how I practiced. You should understand it well."

Wick was shocked. There are so many techniques and directions for using Haki, and you finished them in just two sentences? Is reading comprehension inherited from ancestors? Wick said MMP, not knowing whether to say it or not, and mourned for Zoro again. No wonder he later went to Hawkeye to learn. Zoro should have good talent, but his reading comprehension ability is a bit lacking.

Vic stood up and said goodbye, but he was still depressed when he left the meditation room. "I still have to put my hope in the navy. This teacher is unreliable!" Vic said secretly.

Vic had no idea about Armament Haki, so he stopped thinking about it. He just wanted to improve what he already had and resumed his regular life.
