Raising his hand to grasp it, the black sword with a dark blade and a shape like a cross, Midnight, was immediately taken out from the [storage space] and appeared in John's hand.
He held the handle of the sword with his right hand.
As soon as he got the sword, John's eyes immediately became sharp, his steps were flexible, and he quickly began to practice his sword skills with Midnight.
Rub, stab, intercept, block, collapse, chop, wipe.
The sword skills performed by John are not complicated. On the contrary, they are very basic skills. But for some reason, when you watch him practice these skills, you feel a smooth flow, which is very comfortable to watch.
Even during the rehearsal, one might feel that Midnight is a part of John's body. There is no sense of separation between the two parties; rather, they are like a perfect whole.
John is a boxing practitioner, but in these few days, he took the time to practice swordsmanship.
It is naturally very simple to understand why; in addition to the characteristic of 'space,' he also has the characteristic of 'weapon.'
The 'weapon' characteristic comes from Steve, which allows a person to quickly get started with any weapon after coming into contact with it, and they can learn it by themselves without a teacher.
Just after defeating the ten old men, John obtained the supreme large sword, Midnight, so in order not to waste his resources, he tried to practice sword skills, which also enriched himself with fighting methods.
Not to mention, with the characteristics of the 'weapon' and the 100% increase in training talent, John's training in sword skills can be said to be making rapid progress.
Obviously, he has never practiced sword skills before, but now he has laid an extremely solid foundation for sword skills in a short period of time.
And as his basic swordsmanship continues to deepen, the connection between him and Midnight is getting closer and closer.
It seems that Midnight has a consciousness and is guiding his swordsmanship practice, gradually moving from the basics to a higher level of swordsmanship.
This kind of instinctive drive and inspiration of sword skills are difficult to describe in words, as if John was born to be a swordsman wizard.
The sharp sword light turned into strips of black lightning that shuttled vertically and horizontally around his body.
During the drill, John's sword skills were improving rapidly to the point where it could be observed with the naked eye, and the shadows of some sword masters he had defeated could even be vaguely seen.
Such as Nobunaga and Antonio.
John has never practiced swordsmanship before, but he does not lack experience in fighting swordsmanship masters.
Under the powerful effect of the 'weapon' characteristic, when John was practicing swordsmanship, he even unconsciously absorbed the swordsmanship he had seen, deepening his foundation in swordsmanship training.
After an unknown period of practice, John's eyes suddenly focused on an abandoned building a hundred meters away.
"Cut!"
The sword light gathered together, and John suddenly sent out a sharp slash towards the abandoned building a hundred meters away.
Zheng!!!
The sword light seemed to pass by like black lightning, and in an instant, a huge arc-shaped chop flew out from the blade of Midnight.
The void roared with roaring airwaves, and a huge chopping wave appeared in front of the abandoned building in the distance in an instant, and then tore out fiercely, cutting the entire building in half.
Rumble!!!
During the break, the upper part of the building flew up due to the impact of the slashing and wrapping, and fell on the nearby ground, causing the dust to spread and violent vibrations in the area.
"Not bad!" John raised the corner of his mouth when he saw the chopped-off building in the distance.
It's a flying slash, but it's different from the flying slash in the One Piece world.
John is able to deliver flying slashes by borrowing the ability of the Hundred Steps Divine Fist.
The Hundred Steps Divine Fist can strike out with punching power through the air, but it does not mean that it can only be limited to punching power.
John just used the air release effect of the Hundred Steps Divine Fist on his slashes, allowing the power of the slashes to be released through the air, forming a flying slash.
Although John mainly practices boxing, he is also very interested in flying slashes, which are both visually pleasing and powerful attacks. Otherwise, he would not devote part of his energy to practicing sword skills.
"How come there is such a big commotion!"
"Master! We are back!"
"Are you practicing sword skills? John, have you developed any new moves?"
Just after John showed off his flying slash on a whim, the voices of Steve and Mia were heard not far away.
John heard the sound and looked around, and immediately saw that, except for Delilah standing on Mia's shoulders, Mia, Steve, and Shizuku were all carrying large and small bags, as if they had come back from a 'shopping trip.'
Moreover, Mia and Steve both took off their previous black combat uniforms and put on fashionable clothes.
Mia wears a white shirt on her upper body and a black pleated skirt on her lower body, revealing her fair-skinned thighs.
Steve wore a black mesh long-sleeved, navel-baring shirt on the upper body and a pair of casual, loose jeans on the lower body. He looked very cool.
"I'm back, what did you buy?" When John saw his companions coming back, he put Midnight into the [storage space] and greeted them with a smile.
Steve and the others indeed went on a 'shopping trip' today.
There is a certain amount of relaxation and a balance between work and rest. Today is a day for Steve and the others to relax. They went to the urban area of Yorknew City early in the morning.
Although John didn't know that the bounty had been revoked before, with Steve's strength and some disguise, John didn't worry about their safety.
Especially after signing the crystal contract, even if the group was really in danger, John could sense the changes in their status and then summon them back.
"I bought some clothes!" After walking in, Steve smiled and raised his hands to show the items he was carrying.
"We also bought a lot of clothes for you; you can try them out later!" Mia also showed a gentle smile.
Whoosh!
Delilah nimbly jumped from Mia's shoulder to John's shoulder, and said happily, "Master, we went to eat a lot of delicious food today, and I brought back a lot for you. You'll be waiting to try it!"
"Okay, I just happened to be a little hungry after practicing!" John touched the tail of Delilah that swung forward and said with a hearty smile.
