Chapter 92 Mental effort
By the time Vic and his crew's warships arrived on the island, the two ships had already sailed away.
The assessment is over and there is no need to stay here anymore, Vic can also think of that.
The island is not very big and has no kingdom, but only towns and villages.
It would probably be evening by the time we set out for Ping An Island now, so everyone decided to rest on the island for a night and set out again tomorrow morning.
Only Barnett and the purchasing and logistics staff went to the island. They were going to buy some supplies. The others rested on the boat. Vic was not in a hurry to go to the island.
Vic was thinking about his sword moves on the deck. He could already use the Dragon Slayer move he had previously made, but it couldn't be used in a short period of time and couldn't be used as a normal attack, so Vic planned to simplify it and reduce its power, but he had to make it a normal attack that could be used at any time.
Wick guessed that Hawkeye during the war at the top had already turned Wick's current dragon-slaying level ultimate into a basic attack.
Although that giant iceberg is not as big as the waterspout that night, how do you know that his basic attack cannot be more powerful?
It was just because the iceberg was only that big. After the sword energy cut through the iceberg, it did not disappear but flew away. This was enough to explain the problem.
Vic already knew the essence of the dragon slayer, so it wouldn't be difficult to develop a simplified version. It just required more experiments.
After figuring it all out, Vic prepared to go to the island and find a seaside to conduct experiments.
"Rebecca, I'm looking for a place to practice my sword skills. If you have time, you can come with me. It might help your sword skills."
Vic walked up to Rebecca, whispered something to her, and headed straight down to the boat.
Rebecca turned to look at Wendy, her meaning was obvious, 'Do you want to go?'
"I won't go. I don't use a sword. You go. I'll just rest on the boat!" Wendy said. She really couldn't understand it, and it would be useless for her to go.
Rebecca nodded and trotted to catch up with Rebecca. This scene happened to be seen by Gion, who thought that the two of them were going to stroll around the town again, so he followed them.
Vic walked around the beach for half an hour, thinking as he walked, until he came to a cliff and stopped. This location was not bad, and the sword energy could fly directly into the sea.
Vic came to the edge of the cliff, took a stance, held the scabbard with his left hand, grasped the handle with his right hand, and did not move!
He was gathering his sword energy and mental strength, which was the essence of the dragon-slaying move.
In particular, by integrating one's mental strength into the sword energy, one can change the size and cohesion of the sword energy. This is why the sword energy became slender when one cut off the water tornado before.
Now Vic is trying to find the best balance between sword energy, mental strength, and concentration time, so as to emit the most powerful sword energy in the most labor-saving and energy-efficient way.
That’s right, mental strength. This is a new power that Vic used when using the Dragon Slayer. He had never felt this kind of power before.
......
On the way, with Rebecca's explanation, Gion already knew the purpose of Vic's coming here.
But she was also very interested. After all, she was also a swordsman and was curious about the powerful sword moves. Under the gaze of the two, Vic had already slashed out the first sword energy.
This black sword energy was extremely huge, but as it flew into the sea, it only twisted slightly, without any other changes.
The sword energy was a bit dull, as if it had no soul, but it was quite powerful and cut a V-shaped channel in the sea at a uniform speed.
The ocean here is not very deep, only about twenty meters, and where the sword energy passes, even the seabed is exposed.
"The reason for this sword strike is that I didn't have enough energy. The sword force didn't change much, the speed wasn't good enough, and there was too much sword energy. The consumption was still a bit high, and it needs some improvement!" Vic said secretly.
"Vic's move doesn't have the spirituality of that day, it only has pure attack power.
The speed is generally not variable, and it is easy for people to dodge. It is powerful, but it is afraid that it will not hit the enemy.
Rebecca, you can't learn this trick! Haha!"
Gion had better eyesight than Rebecca, and he spoke while looking at the envy in Rebecca's eyes.
"I would be satisfied if I had such a sword move now. I can't even do a flying slash now!" Rebecca said softly.
When she was with Vic, she always felt that she was not talented enough and was far behind Vic.
Vic learns everything quickly, but she feels that he is slow just in practicing swordsmanship!
Although Vic had always told her that she had a good talent for swordsmanship, she kept comparing herself to Vic, so naturally she felt that she was no match for him.
In fact, under Vic's guidance, she has surpassed most people who practice kendo. You should know that she is not even 16 years old yet and has already mastered the art of cutting iron.
Gion couldn't do it at her age, and of course the future world's number one swordsman Zoro didn't master it until he was 19 years old.
Of course, Rebecca mastered it under the stimulation of Vic, but this cannot deny Rebecca's talent. Without talent, no amount of stimulation would be of any use.
Gion nodded but said nothing.
At present, these are all nutrients for Rebecca, and she can absorb them to strengthen herself. It will not be too late to refine them when she becomes stronger, but she will need to rely on her understanding at that time.
At this time, Vic's second sword energy flew out. This sword energy was very thin when it first left the knife, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
Finally, it turned into a long black whip, lashing the sea and creating a wave. The power of this sword energy was much smaller, but it was more agile.
"This time it's the other way around. I have too little sword energy, but too much mental strength. I haven't reached the balance point yet. I have to continue!"
Just like that, Vic swung his sword repeatedly, and sword energy flew towards the sea, creating waves!
Finally, an hour later, Vic finally tested out the most suitable simplified dragon-slaying method at this stage.
The sword energy is not as big as the real dragon-slaying sword, but its flexibility is the same. Because less sword energy is gathered in the sword energy, less mental effort is required to control it!
However, its power is still greater than Gion's "Mochizuki", which can be regarded as Vic's current basic attack.
By the time Vic and the other two returned to the warship, Barnett and his team had already returned and were confirming the departure for the final destination.
The seahorse was tied with ropes and had fallen asleep leaning against the warship.
Its entire head was resting on the front deck, its mouth wide open, revealing two rows of big white teeth. Its tongue fell out of its mouth and rested on the deck, making a large area of the deck wet, and it would occasionally snort.
Vic looked at the unpaid worker with a look of disgust because of his poor sleeping posture. Gion and Rebecca both covered their mouths and laughed. They didn't want to wake up Kaibamon.
But Vic knew that this guy was sleeping so soundly that even if you cut a piece of horse meat from it, it wouldn't wake up!
Vic even wondered how it grew so big and why its heart was so big!
"Stop laughing. Go get some rest. It's getting late. Rebecca needs to feel the sword energy I used today, the slashing blow, and experience the power contained in that slashing blow!"
Vic sent the two back to their dormitories. Rebecca nodded seriously and entered the cabin with Gion.
It’s not enough to just tell her that it is mental power. She still doesn’t understand what kind of power it is. She must feel it.
This was also the time when Vic realized a new power in kendo - mental strength, which is a power different from belief.
The flexibility of belief is much inferior to that of mental strength, which may be related to the strength of one's own belief!
At least now Vic cannot use his faith to control the changes of the sword energy after it is released. Maybe in the future when his faith is stronger, he will be able to control the sword energy flexibly.
Now Vic's belief can only play the role of gathering sword energy. If he awakens the domineering domineering in the future, he may have different insights!
"We will soon be able to confirm the information about Yongshan Kurogane. If we really get it, then the forging of the new sword will have to be put on the agenda.
Should I forge at the Marine Headquarters or go to Shimotsuki Village?
Let's talk about this after we get the Yongshan Black Gold. If we fail this time, we can only wait for information in this regard and see if there is an opportunity.
The sword must be replaced. If you can't forge it yourself, you can only go out and rob pirates.
That is also to prevent them from committing less murder. Well, it is a good deed with immeasurable merits. Let's do it!"
Vic, his whole body reflecting black light, sat cross-legged on the deck, thinking secretly in his heart.
