Chapter 181 Night Party
After Vic got back to the warship, he went back to his own territory to meditate. He wanted to consolidate this breakthrough and make this strength become the norm before the next battle. That would be considered real progress.
The other people in the elite camp were not as calm as Vic. They were all talking about what had just happened. This level of battle might not be seen in several years.
Before your strength grows, you may not see such battles. Such battles basically take place in the new world.
It takes more than a few years to go to the new world after graduating from the elite camp. This batch of students is the same period as Vic, and they have seen it several times, but this opportunity is also very rare. Only by knowing the gap between yourself and the strong will you not relax yourself.
Rebecca and the others were not surprised to see Vic practicing after returning, so they did not bother him. When Ian wanted to go over and sit in a row, he was stopped by Rebecca.
Because Vic was emitting a strong sword energy, Rebecca was afraid that Ian would be hurt by the sword energy. Now was not the time for Vic to practice Observation Haki, and if he got too close, he might be attacked indiscriminately.
After a long while, the people gathered on the island dispersed. They already knew that Mantis was fine. The animal system's recovery ability was indeed very strong. Now only a few of his younger brothers were taking care of Mantis.
After the civilians dispersed, Zefa sent people to the island to purchase supplies. Many students also went with them. Barnett also took Fredek to get glasses, and Wendy went with them.
When Vic woke up, it was already dark. Not far from him were Rebecca and Ian sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.
A smile appeared on Vic's lips. He didn't need to consolidate his willpower. It was like digging a hole in the mountain. Wherever you dig the hole, that's where the end of the hole is. You can go to this place at any time and continue to dig forward. Of course, it is also possible that something big happened in the outside world and destroyed the cave, and this person might become depressed!
But Kendo is different, it is something that needs to be understood by people, just like studying. When you first start learning, you think you know it all, but you may forget it as soon as you turn around.
Kendo is a state of mind, a kind of perception, which is fleeting. If you don't grasp the perception when it comes, it may take you a long time to grasp it afterwards, and you may not necessarily have that kind of perception. Kendo is something more mysterious than knowledge, and it is not there for you to observe at any time.
Therefore, Vic mainly let himself stay in the realm he just realized, integrate it into his mind, and then he could do it effortlessly.
At least you should know what kind of realm it is and where you can enter it next time. Of course, this is for those who cannot consolidate it in one go.
There was no need for Vic to go to so much trouble. He had already reached that level. If he fought Mantis again, he would not be as powerless as at the beginning. At that time, Vic's double swords had no effect on Mantis and could not even break his skin.
"Rebecca, what time is it now?" A voice sounded in Rebecca's mind, and Vic woke Rebecca up.
"It's still early, and it's just getting dark!" Rebecca opened her eyes immediately when she heard Vic's voice, with a smile on her face. Rebecca was not completely immersed in her practice, and would open her eyes from time to time to check on Vic's situation.
Rebecca's voice woke Ian up. When Ian saw that Vic had woken up, he immediately got up and threw himself into Vic's arms.
Rebecca was speechless. It wasn't like they were experiencing life and death separation, so why were they so clingy?
"Vic! I was so worried about you. I'm so glad you're okay!" Ian was just taking advantage of the situation. She was probably the person who had the most confidence in Vic among all people and never thought that Vic would lose.
"Well, I'm fine, and my injuries are healed!" Vic touched Ian's little head and comforted him. The little guy's pain was not in vain!
"Rebecca, go prepare two bottles of good wine for me. I need them!" Vic instructed Rebecca again.
"Oh!" Rebecca responded reluctantly as she looked at Ian in Vic's arms.
......
Mantis didn't say anything after Vic left. He felt complicated. Although he had noticed that Vic was a little different from the other navy men before the two started fighting, it was not that powerful aura, but another kind of aura emanating from his body. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was a very strange feeling that could make someone like him feel good about him.
He didn't think about why he lost or which skills were not good enough. He kept wondering what kind of person Vic was. No matter how he behaved or did things, they didn't seem like what a man of his age could do. A big pirate like him was let go just like that.
Of course he knew why, because if he were captured, the civilians on the island would be harmed by the pirates.
After all, this is one of the seven shipping routes that must be passed through, and there are countless pirates. This is not a country, and everyone makes a living by farming. They don’t have money to pay for the sky gold, and they are not protected by the navy at all. So the young navy stayed here just to protect the civilians on the island, even though they were not related to him. What kind of mind does this have!
"Oh, it's all bandaged. Actually, there's no need to bandage it. His recovery ability is very strong. It won't take long for him to heal without even a scar. It's really unnecessary to do this now!"
A faint voice sounded in the house. Several younger brothers' faces suddenly changed and cold sweats broke out on their backs. They were very familiar with this voice. They had heard it during the day and it almost killed their boss.
Mantis' pupils also shrank, and then returned to normal. The younger brothers turned their heads with some difficulty and saw the impressive figure in the daytime standing at the door.
They thought that the young sailor had regretted his decision and was now coming to arrest their boss, so they immediately rushed over and formed a human wall to block their boss' bed.
"Oh! Is this your way of entertaining guests? Looks like I need to draw my sword and greet you."
Vic continued to speak indifferently, but his eyes showed admiration for these younger brothers. They had all seen how strong the people facing them were. They could kill them all with one hand, but they resolutely stood in front of their boss. What courage did it take!
"Get out of the way, he's not here to cause trouble." Mantis spoke. If the other party really wanted to attack, even if there were a hundred times more people it would be useless. Moreover, he believed that the other party would not attack. He just didn't expect that he would come to him at night after just fighting during the day.
The younger brothers looked at Vic with some caution, but they stepped aside and returned to watching Vic from a distance.
Vic felt a little amused. A younger brother is still a younger brother. Although he was determined to die for his boss, his eyesight was far lacking.
