Chapter 18: Soaring Slash
Chapter 18: Soaring Slash
If a person sacrifices their reputation and face for the benefit of everyone, making something good for all, what's the problem with that?
Watanosuke stood tall and proud, feeling that he had done nothing wrong, even if he had made a mistake, it would only be the kind of mistake all men make.
His heart and actions were as clear as a mirror, everything he did was just and righteous.
This was the result of considering everyone's well-being. Once he obtained the secret, he would share it with his fellow disciples, and everyone would benefit, with the three senior brothers only getting a few beatings at most.
"Very well," Luk patted Watanosuke on the shoulder. "You can hide here for a moment. I'll go and thank the three senior brothers."
Seeing Luk about to leave, Watanosuke mustered up the courage to hold back the others, his gaze resolute.
"What's the secret?"
Luk circled Watanosuke with a benevolent smile, his voice echoing in the room.
"The secret is to have a good pregnancy. If you’re a Giant Clan, you’ll be a hundred meters tall. No need to worry about melons, buildings will be fine too."
Watanosuke was deceived, his eyes devoid of any gods, tears streaming down his face.
He knew he shouldn’t make deals with demons!
...
Luk’s clean-up plan still hadn’t been realized.
When he went to find the three senior brothers, he was told that they had already left the island to procure supplies, and wouldn’t be back for three days.
Luk naturally wasn’t that cautious. He decided to wait and beat them up before leaving.
He just wanted to stay with everyone for three more days, with no other intention.
Unfortunately, Kuroshi didn’t believe his nonsense. The next morning, he personally sent him off on the ship with all the disciples.
"I really don't want to leave you all."
As he boarded the ship, tears glistened in Luk’s eyes, showing his reluctance.
The senior brothers’ eyes also brimmed with tears, their farewells moving.
"Brother Luk, I don’t want to leave you either. You must report back to us regularly."
"Brother, come back often, your room will always be cleaned for you."
"Your bucket brother will save some food for you, and add more when you return!"
"Brother Luk, if you leave, how will I survive without you?"
Luk felt a warm glow in his heart.
What, he used to be quite popular too.
Woof! Woof! The ship’s engine roared as it gradually moved away from the shore, the farewells starting to murmur softly.
"Since he’s so far away, he probably won’t be back, right?"
"I think so, but what about us..."
"Spray!"
"Raaaah..."
Suddenly, Luk’s charisma was ting with a twist as the farewells changed tone.
"Land dog, once you leave, don’t come back. Wander on the outskirts for the rest of your life!"
"Your bucket brother I’ll use as a toilet, raaaah!"
"Your room, it’s just a storage room now, there’s no more place for you here!"
Seeing Luk’s helplessness, the senior brothers’ bodies instinctively sent out signals to dodge, but the terrifying sword aura gave a sense of inescapable doom, causing everyone to freeze in fear.
...
Damn!
Maintaining his sword stance, Luk suddenly panicked. Just as he was moved by his genuine bond with his senior brothers, he heard the dogs change their faces.
His mind was clouded with their aura, feeling as if something had been shattered. Then, his blood, spirit, and the sword in his hand merged into one, and like a swift hawk, he extended his arm and, without hesitation, unleashed that slash.
Soaring Slash, a skill only a sword master could comprehend and use.
But Luk had no time to be happy about his breakthrough, the speed of Soaring Slash was terrifying, and he was caught off guard, unable to react in time.
Damn!
Even if the senior brothers’ breath stank, Luk knew they were just joking around, not really meaning it.
His feet were enveloped in a layer of golden light, and between his legs, faint sparks of lightning flickered.
Empowered by the Golden Light Spell and Lightning Attribute Zakra.
Without time to stop, Lu Ke gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to become a sword master by cutting down his fellow students with a single sword stroke.
Just as he was about to make his move, a familiar figure emerged from the crowd.
Goshiro calmly adjusted his glasses, then he drew a plain, unremarkable sword from his waist with his clean, slender right hand as if it would break with the slightest force.
He raised his arm and swung down.
Swish! The massive sword aura that had been condensed and sharpened into a cherry-colored blade erupted, releasing two sword auras that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth, colliding mid-air.
Boom!
The once-calm sea surface was violently sliced by the chaotic sword auras, the terrifying impact sending countless water pillars soaring into the sky.
Goshiro sheathed his sword, his eyes flashing with surprise, “Even a proper battle hasn’t been experienced, and he’s already a sword master.”
Truly a terrifying talent.
He didn’t know what kind of flair his disciple would display in this era of stormy clouds.
“Sorry!”
“I’m not on purpose!”
The boat was already a small black dot, and Lu Ke felt a bit guilty as he waved goodbye, even though he was embarrassed.
The senior students stood up trembling, then shouted with their voices.
“You’re really impressive, Lu dog! Don’t let us down!”
“Hmph, but your master has one more, and you still need to practice!”
“Trying to hurt us, do you think your years of practice are fake?”
Finally, everyone looked at each other and shouted in unison.
“Be careful out there! If you can’t handle it, come back! The Frost Moon Dojo will always have a place for you!”
The boat gradually became smaller in the cheers of the Frost Moon Dojo, until it was no longer visible.
At this moment, the low spirits gradually spread.
“I wonder if that kid will get bullied or starve, what if he doesn’t eat enough?”
“You’re worried about him, but he didn’t even notice the last time, and it’s not like he could cut us down with one strike.”
“No matter how big a kid is, he’s still a kid. I treat him like a little brother.”
“So, I treat him like a son.”
“So, I treat him like a grandson!”
“Ha, if he has the skills, he’ll say it himself.”
“With this walk, the leftover meals are unknown.”
Goshiro let the disciples vent their emotions, then patted his hand, “Alright, everyone’s gone, so stop worrying. I believe Lu Ke’s name will soon be heard across the four seas.”
“Go back, today’s training isn’t over yet. To celebrate Lu Ke’s graduation, everyone needs to wield their swords ten thousand times today.”
“Oh~”
Suddenly, a chorus of moans rose.
“Your master.”
Zekan quietly ran out, holding a small box and handed it to Goshiro.
“What’s this?” Goshiro opened the small box, inside was a finely crafted key, seemingly from the Alabastan craft.
“Lu Ke’s younger brother’s floor hid a chest, containing all his savings, a total of seven million bellies. This key opens the chest, where he kept the money from this year’s sales and buying a peregrine.”
Where did he get so much money?
Goshiro took the key with a complex expression, sighing, “This kid is truly...”
The price of a great sword in the market is no more than ten to thirty million bellies.
He had known the old man’s “That one” for a long time.
Goshiro sighed, “Well, when will he come back and give it to me?”
Zekan patted his head, “He also asked me to bring you a message.”
“What?”
“He will surpass the hawk eye and become the world’s greatest sword master, spreading the Frost Moon Dojo’s name across the entire Red Earth.”
“Truly a great ambition, though it’s still a long way off.” Goshiro smiled, his eyes showing a hint of nostalgia, “The world’s greatest...”
Once upon a time, his daughter had said the same, and so had Zoro.
“Ah, I hope Zoro won’t be discouraged.”
