Early in the morning, Will was just about to go to the back mountain to start today's practice but was stopped by Nice in the middle. "Will, you have been in the sword hall for more than a year, and you have become a lot stronger, but if you always train like this, there will be no qualitative improvement. Moreover, no matter how strong you are in cultivation, it will be ostentatious. Now you need actual combat." Nice said and paused as if thinking about something.
"Yes, Master, I also feel that I can't keep training like this. Even if I practice swordsmanship and physical skills no matter how strong I am, and without actual combat experience, I will die first when encountering enemies in the future." Will also agreed with Nice. Say, and the idea of increasing actual combat experience has long been there.
"Well, in that case, let me give you two suggestions. The first is to go to Logue Town and challenge the sword halls on the surrounding islands but in your own name. This method is safer, but the effect is not obvious. The second is to learn some wild survival skills first, which takes about two months. Then go to the nearby desert island to fight and survive with the beasts on it. Increase your actual combat skills and exercise your courage. Adapt to the smell of blood and survivability. Think about it, and when you think about it, come to me." After Nice said his proposal, he stopped talking and turned to leave.
"Master, please teach me the survival skills in the wild. I choose the second one." Will replied Nice without even thinking about it.
Nice turned his head, looked at Will with a look that he had never seen before, said to follow me, and then continued to walk forward.
Will followed into the middle room and walked in. Nice didn't sit on the innermost cushion as usual, but stepped on it with one foot, with frequent light steps, and then heavy steps. With a click, two iron bars popped up above the door of this room, stuck in the concealed grooves on the two doors, and locked them.
The wall opposite the door of the room also slowly separated from the middle, revealing a secret room of about 30 square meters.
The furnishings in the secret room are very simple, with a large round table and six chairs. One of the chairs is more luxurious than the others, and it looks like it should be exclusively for Nice.
Enter the secret room with Nice, and then see Nice press a circular mechanism on the wall, and the two walls behind him slowly closed.
Nice sat in the main seat and motions for Will to sit down casually. Just speak.
"Will, when you came to the sword hall, I didn't really like you too much. When you came, I took away an apprentice who was an errand-runner. But it took you a year to prove your own character and talent. As for you from Where does it come from, what kind of identity, and those who are not capable of devil fruit, can use thunder and lightning.
I don't want to ask any more, I just want to ask you, would you like to be my apprentice, my, Long Liang's apprentice, not an apprentice in the Nice Sword Hall. " Nice looked at Will and said his real name.
In the East Blue, and even the first half of the Great Route, only three people including himself knew their real names. Today, Will is the fourth, because he sees in Will the hope that can help him fulfill his dream, and help him fulfill the dream he can't complete in this life.
"Teacher, since you taught me swordsmanship every night, you have already been my master, and I will be the only master in this life, no matter what your name is." Will looked at Long Liang and looked at this with a white head. Hair, but still full of imposing old man. He answered sincerely.
"Hahaha, hahaha, well, starting from today, you are an apprentice of Long Liang. You are an apprentice, not an apprentice in the sword hall." Nice, no, Long Liang looked very happy, and continued to Will.
