But why would the Easterners be shy about fighting? And why would they have to take off their clothes? It's really incomprehensible.

Yu Jin didn't understand many things about the East Country, but that didn't stop him from using the East Country's things and learning the East Country's martial arts.

Ember held the cavalry spear high, and the projection was skewered on the spear, like a piece of bacon.The sharp spear point penetrated from its back, and there was still something vague remaining on it.

Enemies that pierce through your body, knights that shout loudly, this arena finally has something that matches its style and tone.

But soon, the solemn and solemn atmosphere that was created with great effort was broken.

Yu Jin looked at the projection that was still struggling on the tip of the spear and knew that this single blow would not be enough to kill it. In fact, he had no intention of killing the projection so quickly.

So he waved his hand, and the projection was thrown to the ground.

"Crack!" The sound of armors clashing sounded.There was a big hole in the projection's chest, but despite this, it was still struggling to get up.

But this time, the embers won't give it a chance.

He clamped his legs lightly around the horse's belly, and Torrett immediately understood what he meant. After that, no one could see Yujin anymore.

Another thing about Torret that is worthy of praise is its turning ability - Torret can turn the horse's head around in an instant without losing any speed, which is a unique skill.

Because of this, Torrett can maintain his top speed as long as Ember doesn't want to stop.

"Bang! Bang!"

Under the blessing of absolute speed, everyone could only see that the projection seemed to be constantly being picked up and flew away by some invisible object.

It rolled in the air, fell, rolled, and fell again... Every time it flew into the air, a big hole would appear on its projection.

This is the secret skill that Yu Jin has mastered - the hunting trick! It can make the enemy unable to stop in the air!

He had used this trick to defeat the Black Sword Master Aleto and the Valkyrie Malenia.

Yu Jin turned his horse's head again, and he stared closely at the only clear thing in his eyes - his projection.

The flying shadow was now completely unrecognizable. Its chest armor was bulging, and its body was covered with holes.

Through the hole, the embers could see the blur inside. The wind in the past, after all, did not outline his full appearance.

"Fly high for me!" In an instant, Yu Jin was once again under the projection that was about to descend from the sky.

A white light appeared, and the embers rose up.

"Bang!" As if it had suffered too much damage, the projection did not fly up again like before, but directly turned into a ball of wind and exploded.

Yu Jin's figure riding on Torret appeared in front of everyone again. He still maintained the posture of holding the spear upward, and seemed to have not reacted to what was happening.

"Ah? It's gone just like that?" Yu Jin felt the breeze blowing on him and immediately let out a cry of regret.

He hasn't stirred the spoon enough!

In fact, Yu Jin invented this trick to improve his cooking skills. But unfortunately, no one can withstand his shaking, so his cooking skills have not improved at all.

Yu Jin thought he could do something really great this time, but he didn't expect that he would just do it at the end and explode the projection.

Yu Jin looked at Wendy, who was slumped on the ground in the distance, and said angrily, "Alas! My cooking skills can't improve because you are so bad!"

"????"

Wendy now had another question mark on her head.

Chapter 192: Poetry That Ended in vain

2023-09-25

"Hey, how about it? I'm good enough, right?" Yu Yan played a trick on Torrett's back, and then put away the huge cavalry spear.

His hands were so sore from holding such a big spear.

"That's amazing. I don't know how to evaluate you." Wendy looked at Ember riding on Torrett, feeling mixed emotions.

Originally, he thought that if he could engrave the projection of the past Embers, he would be able to make Embers fight for at least three hundred rounds, but he did not expect that the battle would be one-sided from beginning to end.

Yu Jin hit his own projection, just like a father hitting his son. Wendy looked at Yu Jin who was stuffing fruit into Torret's mouth and felt that the only meaning of this battle was to make Yu Jin sweat.

"Do you have any other tricks? Use them all!" Yu Jin sat on the horse's back, waved his hand, and said with great heroism.

He hasn't had enough fun yet!

"Yes, there is, but it's not a combat skill." Wendy stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his body and said.

He did have many abilities that he hadn't used yet, but they were all auxiliary. After all, the Wind God was not a god who was good at fighting.

"But it can still be used to wipe sweat." Wendy chuckled, and then started strumming the strings again.

This time, in addition to the melodious piano music, there was also Wendy's singing, which intertwined to form a beautiful poem.

A gentle breeze blew out from Wendy's dancing fingers. The wind blew on Yu Jin's body, and Torret's sideburns also swayed in the wind.

It was a warm and beautiful scene, but Yu Jin didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness! Because the psalm that Wendy sang was a new one he had composed, and it was a psalm with Yu Jin as the main character.

Yu Jin shuddered as he listened to the praise in the poem. Wendy sang about herself in such a eulogistic tone that it gave him goose bumps all over his body.

However, Yu Jin looked at Wendy, who had her eyes closed as if she was completely immersed in the poem, and resisted the urge to punch.

[Just this once, just this once!] Yu Jin kept telling himself in his heart. Why didn't he realize before that it was so uncomfortable to hear others' praise?

Now Yu Jin finally understood why Wendy was so poor. So he was praising others like this every day?

Phrases like "a strong man who cuts off the past", "a body beyond words", "a will as vast as the sea and smoke" would make anyone feel numb after hearing them.

Ember held Thoret's reins and wandered around aimlessly.Wendy said that he had no fighting skills, but from Ember's perspective, this poem caused him much greater damage than the previous projection of his past self.

And it is a rare psychological injury.

Wendy sang with a smile on his face and his eyes closed. He had a draft in mind and sang the poem line by line.

But Wendy was not as calm as he appeared. On the contrary, he was very confused, more confused than all the previous ones combined.

Everything has a name, and with a name it can be called, and anything that can be called can be sung by Wendy.

Wendy is a bard, a recorder and a hymnist. In his heart there are a thousand poems about heroes, freedom, and courage, as well as a thousand corresponding virtues and powers.

Wendy is both singing about the embers and recording them. Through the poems he records, even if the giant trees under the earth die, their colors remain unchanged.

But now something unexpected happened. The poem about the embers, even though it came from his mouth, had no power at all.

The name "Ember" doesn't seem to point to anything. The poems with this name as the protagonist are powerless and empty, just like those of ordinary bards.

As a wind singer, Wendy had more doubts today than ever before. However, due to the professional ethics of a bard, Wendy sang the poem he had written word for word without changing his expression.

Then he saw Ember coming down from Torrett and almost slamming his helmet into his face.

"Ha! Why are you getting so close?!" Wendy was startled by Yu Jin's actions. He immediately took a small step back and distanced himself from Yu Jin.

"You sang very well. Don't sing next time." Yu Jin said to Wendy, pretending to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Wendy also said that this song can be used to wipe sweat, but now it seems to be a pure scam!

What do you mean by wiping sweat? Sweating is more like that!

If Wendy didn't stop, Yu Jin would probably have to cover his mouth.

"Wendy, why didn't I realize you were so direct before? Remember to be more tactful when you praise people next time. I'm getting goosebumps."

When Yu Jin saw that Wendy had finally quieted down, he immediately started to complain.

"No? I wrote a poem for you with good intentions, don't be ungrateful." Wendy heard Yu Jin's complaints and immediately started arguing with him.

"How can you write poetry like that? It's so corny! Even if you don't find it embarrassing, I still do!" Yu Jin did not give in at all.

When Wendy heard what Yu Jin said, she took out a piece of paper from somewhere, and on it was written the poem he had just read.

With the bard's honor at stake, Wendy must make Ember understand the beauty of his poetry!

Then, the sound of the two people's prolonged argument could be heard in the vast battle square.

……

"Look at this rhetoric, how good!"

"Ah~~"

"Look at this metaphor, how apt it is!"

"Ah~~"

"Forget it, forget it. I'm done arguing with you. I can tell you've never written a poem!"

"Haha, you lost, I forgot to tell you, I'm also a top-notch quarreler."

Wendy's mouth and eyes twitched when she heard this. Yu Jin, what do you call quarreling? Every time he said a word, Yu Jin would cover it up with a louder and weirder roar.

No matter how much Wendy raised his voice, Yu Jin's voice was always a little louder than his, just enough to cover his voice.

To some extent, Yu Jin's ability to argue is indeed good. Anyway, if you argue with Yu Jin, don't even think about surpassing him in terms of voice.

"Hmm... cough cough..., my throat is almost hoarse from arguing with you so loudly." Wendy rubbed her barely visible Adam's apple. A bard should pay more attention to the maintenance of his throat.

I actually had a fight with Yu Jin today. What a mistake.

Wendy coughed for a while and then returned to normal. He raised his head, looked at the ember who had called Torret back and asked:

"By the way, Ember. What do you think anchors a person to?"

Yu Jin touched the ring on his finger that was gradually disappearing, and responded without thinking: "Others."

“There’s nothing better than using someone else to anchor another person’s position.”

Wendy's face froze when he heard this. He was a little confused about Yu Jin's train of thought. Shouldn't he answer "name" or "myself" at this time? Why were Yu Jin's answers so different?

"Don't you think that a 'name' can more easily anchor a person's position?" Wendy was silent for a moment, then whispered.

"Name?" Yu Jin scratched his head and continued, "Can a name be changed? How can such a thing anchor a person?"

"Have you changed your name?" Wendy asked expectantly. He didn't believe there was a person whose name couldn't be anchored.

"My name?" Yu Jin began to touch his chin again. He spread his hands and answered nonchalantly, "I don't actually have a name. Or rather, I had one before but I forgot it. The name 'Yu Jin' is just something I picked randomly."

"no name?"

"Well! I forgot everything at that time, so how could I remember my name?" Yu Jin laughed a few times, as if he was not entangled with the past at all.

"That's unfortunate. But I'm not saying that the name 'Ember' is a strange one."

"Is it strange? I think it's okay."
