The swordsmen of the Water God School are indeed masters of defense, and are more sensitive to threats compared to swordsmen of other schools.
But it is precisely because of this that they are more able to feel the threat.
The feeling of having one's life in the other's hands, as if they could take one's head off at any time if they wanted to, was not pleasant.
Luo Ya shrugged. Actually, the simplest way is to let the other party have a brush with death. If they really encounter someone much stronger then, they will be able to react.
Luo Ya said to everyone, "Watch closely from here on out."
Draw your sword.
Roya's movements were not particularly swift.
He simply swung his unremarkable longsword at his opponent.
Even in his seemingly calm demeanor, Luo Ya's imposing aura was enough to make everyone feel suffocated.
Jin Jie's face was pale. She subconsciously gripped the sword hilt, but her fingers were trembling uncontrollably.
If we were to actually face him, everyone would probably be killed in that instant.
The longsword gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
There's no need to be fast, nor is it necessary to be that fast. What they need is training, not being tortured.
The longsword was slowly placed against the other person's neck in front of everyone, but the other person couldn't make any move.
My brain keeps telling my body to move, but my hands and legs just won't cooperate and keep shaking.
Luo Ya laughed and said, "Try it, break free from this pressure."
The soldier opened his mouth, his teeth chattering, and said, "I can't do it. I don't know why, but my hands and feet won't obey me. Forget about drawing my sword, I just want to run away now."
Luo Ya didn't use all his power directly, and his aura was only about half of what it should have been, but even so, these young men were terrified.
Luo Ya nodded and said to everyone, "This is normal. Overcome your fears. Come on, try again."
Jin Jie stood right behind Luo Ya, her expression incredibly interesting.
As a knight in the third prince's personal guard of the kingdom, even though she ranked twelfth among the knights, it proves that her strength is not weak.
She tried to control her right hand, attempting to draw the sword, but the attempt was not very effective. Her survival instinct told her to run away immediately, but her duty as a knight told her that even if she died, she should die here.
With her right hand trembling as she gripped the hilt, Jin Jie finally managed to pull the sword out.
But after she pulls it out, in her current state, can she really fight the enemy to the death?
This isn't risking your life; this is suicide.
In her current condition, she is simply incapable of fighting.
Luo Ya noticed a noise behind him and instinctively looked back, only to see Jin Jie with a pale face.
Although the opponent didn't seem to be in great shape, she was undoubtedly the best performer on the field.
Of course, Luo Qixi is an exception.
If Luo Qixi were really bullied like that, she would probably scream and faint from fright, right?
Luo Qixi is definitely not that bold.
Luo Qixi didn't know what had happened, but judging from the expressions of everyone present, she could guess what was going on.
Since it was training, there were naturally Luo Ya's training methods. Luo Qixi didn't know anything about this, so she just watched from the side.
Jin Jie noticed Luo Ya's gaze and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. It was hard to imagine that someone as expressionless as Jin Jie would show such an expression.
Luo Ya nodded to Jin Jie and praised, "Not bad, you are very good. A swordsman like you can defeat even a higher-level Sword God style master."
Luo Ya was genuinely sincere when he said this. Although the so-called pressure in this world wasn't as outrageous as the online novels he had read in his previous life, where a strong person could crush a weak person simply by revealing their aura, the so-called pressure still existed.
For example, like now.
However, Jin Jie didn't like hearing what Luo Ya said.
Jin Jie opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she could only manage a bitter smile.
Then Roya began trying to get these young men to draw their swords.
The concept of "presence" is essentially a kind of aura. If the difference in strength is too great, a superior swordsman can easily intimidate a lower-level swordsman, thus affecting the latter's performance.
Of course, this kind of momentum is not a panacea.
Some adventurers may not be very strong themselves, but they have experienced a lot of life-and-death trials. Even when facing enemies two levels higher than themselves, they can still put up a stubborn fight. This does not include swordsmen of the King level or above.
Now, Roya's only requirement is that everyone can draw their swords.
The training period wasn't very long, and the swordsmanship training was just something Jin Jie added on a whim.
After all, no one would have really thought that Roya would be a true Sword King.
Half an hour later, Luo Ya withdrew his aura and returned the sword to the young man who had questioned him earlier.
When the young man saw Roya walking towards him, his face paled even more from his previous fear.
However, the other party still forced a smile and gave Roya an extremely ugly one.
After sheathing his sword, Roya nodded to the crowd.
This batch of new recruits isn't very good; they're only average.
If he can break free from Cairoya's aura, he should be more than qualified to become a high-level Water God Swordsman.
In the end, only Jin Jie was the first to break free from that oppressive aura.
Luo Ya still felt somewhat bored, but after teaching his opponent a lesson, he would likely have some experience in dealing with other masters of the Sword God style in the future.
Luo Ya regained his previous sunny and handsome demeanor, but now no one present would underestimate this young man.
Jin Jie nodded to Luo Qixi, and now it was Luo Qixi's turn to train the soldiers.
Lokishi's method of training soldiers is very simple. He generally uses low- or mid-level spells that cause less damage to make the guards defend themselves, thus forming muscle memory.
Even if they encounter magic cast by a mage, they will be able to react quickly.
The training time wasn't long, but the intensity was surprisingly high.
After all, it's not an easy task to be fully focused on dealing with magic that might suddenly appear at any moment.
If not dealt with in time, they could be blown away. Although they might not be directly injured or crippled, they would definitely suffer for a while. Therefore, everyone's mental energy was focused on this aspect.
Training might feel like an eternity to these soldiers, but for Roya it was a matter of blinking an eye.
By gathering earth elements from the air, Roya crafted a small stool and sat down, watching the soldiers' flustered movements with a grin.
Every now and then, the soldiers' cries of pain could be heard, which Luo Ya found quite amusing.
Jin Jie looked at Luo Ya, somewhat helplessly.
She realized that the other person was just a comedian.
Jin Jie is not afraid of entertainers, but she is afraid of entertainers with great power.
Jin Jie stood aside, watching everyone train. After realizing that everyone had reached their limit, she said to Luo Qixi, "Lord Luo Qixi, thank you for your help."
Luo Qixi nodded, yawned, picked up her cane, and looked at Luo Ya with displeasure.
Luo Ya was puzzled, wondering why the girl was glaring at him like that.
Luo Ya reached out and stroked Luo Qixi's forehead, smiling as he said, "Sweetie, Master Luo Qixi, don't be angry~"
However, Luo Ya's words undoubtedly angered Luo Qixi once again.
Luo Qixi slapped Luo Ya's hand and said angrily, "Don't treat me like a child! Don't touch my head, I'm your master."
Luo Ya blinked, nodded seriously, and said to Luo Qixi, "I will never touch Master Luo Qixi's head again."
Loki was satisfied after hearing this and walked towards the palace with her wand in hand.
Luo Qixi thought for a moment, paused, and said to Jin Jie, "Then, I will take my apprentice and go to my place."
Jin Jie wanted to ask if she needed to arrange a room, but seeing Luo Qixi's slightly shy expression, she understood what was going on. She nodded to Luo Ya and Luo Qixi and added, "You've worked hard."
Luo Ya smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's no trouble at all, it's all my duty."
Jin Jie didn't say anything more. She stepped forward to check on the wailing soldiers, coughed lightly, and began preparing for her speech.
Luo Ya reached out and took Luo Qixi's hand, smiling at her, "Master Luo Qixi, let's go."
Luo Qixi's cheeks flushed; it seemed that she wasn't yet used to the boy's behavior.
However, Loki did not resist, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the wand in her right hand.
The guards they encountered on the road would greet Luo Qixi, and then look at Luo Ya with surprise and curiosity.
However, the guards didn't ask too many questions. After exchanging greetings, they began their daily patrols.
-
It was half an hour later when they returned to Luo Qixi's room.
It was around 4 p.m., and Luo Qixi looked very tired because she hadn't eaten lunch or taken a nap.
Entering Luo Qixi's room, Luo Qixi looked at the still slightly messy room, scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, and said to Luo Ya, "Um, my room is a bit messy, how about I have my guards arrange a room for you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ya had no chance of agreeing and immediately refused, saying, "It's alright, I like Master Luo Qixi. Um, I'll help you pack these things."
When Luo Qixi heard Luo Ya say that, she nodded, but for some reason, she inexplicably thought of the times when she shared a bed with Luo Ya in the past.
