Luo Ya laughed and said, "I am the Sword King, the Sword King of the Sword God School."
Luo Ya's words would be laughed off anywhere except for Luo Qixi, who would believe them unconditionally.
Jin Jie doubted the veracity of Luo Ya's words, but if Luo Ya really was the Sword King, then a problem arose.
If Roya wanted to, he could kill all the royals around him in an instant; no one could be his match.
What's even more terrifying is that this Sword King is also a King-level mage. Such a person is the most intimidating, second only to the Seven Great Powers.
There aren't many top-tier fighters in this world, so basically as long as you don't do anything reckless, you can roam freely in this world.
Even Jin Jie had to be polite to such a powerful figure.
No, even using "polite" wouldn't be appropriate. If the royal family knew that a Sword King of the Sword God School was right here, they would probably grovel and fawn over him. Putting aside everything else, offending a Sword King of the Sword God School would be a nightmare for all the royal families of the Kingdom of Xilong.
The Kingdom of Xilong is not considered powerful. It is not as wealthy as the Kingdom of Asura. The capital of the Kingdom of Asura is guarded by a master of the Water God Flow. The only thing that the Kingdom of Xilong can be proud of is probably the third prince, who is known as the Son of God.
Adhering to the principle of "better safe than sorry," Jin Jie changed her form of address and said to Luo Ya, "Then, could you help me train those soldiers? They haven't actually fought against any masters of the Sword God School yet, so please give them some guidance."
After saying this, he bowed deeply, showing great humility.
Luo Ya looked at Jin Jie, then at Luo Qixi, and asked Luo Qixi, "Master Luo Qixi, what do you say?"
Luo Qixi shrugged, thought for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. She said to Luo Ya, "Why don't we give it a try? I also want to see how my apprentice has grown."
Roya sighed. Training a group of young people who hadn't even reached the level of advanced swordsmen was really quite boring.
However, since Master Luo Qixi has said so, there's nothing we can do about it.
Luo Ya had no choice but to nod and agree to the other party's request.
Then, with a smile on her face, Jin Jie led Luo Ya toward the so-called training ground.
The so-called training ground was actually a fairly spacious open space. Jin Jie and about seven or eight of her subordinates stood in the open space, which was called the training ground.
This area is not within the palace grounds; after all, no one would conduct training within the palace.
The open space is enough for everyone to show off their sword skills.
Luo Ya nodded at the soldiers who could be considered elite. Everyone looked at Luo Qixi with some respect, so it seemed that Luo Qixi's reputation among them wasn't bad.
Jin Jie stepped forward and began to introduce the soldiers.
“Roya, Lord Lokishi’s most outstanding disciple, will now guide you on how to deal with the swordsmen of the Sword God School.”
After saying that, Jin Jie stepped back, leaving Luo Ya to begin displaying his talents.
However, after Jin Jie finished speaking, the people around her couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
"Why is Lady Lokishi's disciple a master swordsman? Isn't Lokishi a mage?"
"Indeed, I can't understand it."
Roya glanced at the youths whose faces still looked somewhat immature, cleared his throat, and, feigning a profound air, asked them, "Do you know what the highest level of a magician is?"
The guards stopped talking and all looked at Roya, waiting for him to continue.
"In most people's minds, mages are usually dressed in long robes, carry staffs, and unleash magnificent and devastating magic after a long string of incantations."
Roya's calm voice rang out. Although Roya didn't seem like a mature adventurer, the fact that the other party was standing there said it all.
Everyone nodded, including Luo Qixi, who actually thought so too.
However, the boy's next words shattered everyone's worldview.
Roya continued, "This is actually heresy!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Luo Qixi stared wide-eyed, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
A boy standing in front of Roya couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? Aren't all magicians like this nowadays?"
Roya, with a smile on his face, continued to answer: "A truly powerful mage should allocate all points to health and stamina, master the skills Sword God Style and Water God Style. Water God Style is used to defend against the opponent's magic, while Sword God Style is used to finish off the opponent. Armor penetration must be maxed out, and any spell like Illumination is fine."
Luo Qixi looked at Luo Ya as if he were an idiot, and everyone was speechless.
Finally, the young man couldn't help but say, "Aren't you lying? What kind of monk acts like that?"
Roya shook his head and chuckled, saying with a hint of helplessness, "So, all the magicians these days are wrong. Don't you believe me? Um, Master Loki, give me your staff."
Luo Qixi looked at Luo Ya warily and asked directly, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Ya smiled and said, "I'll teach these youngsters a lesson," before extending his hand.
Loki gritted her teeth and reluctantly handed her wand to Roya, saying seriously, "Don't break my wand."
Luo Ya had an expression that said, "Don't worry about me doing things."
The more Luo Qixi looked at Luo Ya, the more she felt something was wrong. Remembering what Luo Ya had just said, she couldn't help but swallow and whispered, "Hey, Luo Ya, don't do this, you wouldn't..."
Before Loki could finish speaking, she saw Roya holding his wand and making a provocative gesture towards the soldiers.
The others weren't fools. They exchanged glances and understood what Luo Ya meant. The young man who had drawn his longsword first grabbed the hilt, leaned down, and looked at Luo Ya, saying, "Alright, I'll go first."
Roya nodded, and dark magic flowed from Roya's palm and wrapped around Lokishi's wand, first giving the weapon an enchantment buff.
Let's hope they don't end up wiping out Luo Qixi's life savings.
Roya said to the young man, "I know you are a swordsman of the Water God School, and I will not bully you. I will reduce my physical abilities to be the same as yours so that we can have a fair duel."
The young man glanced at the other person's thin arms and legs, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but the next moment, a huge sense of crisis suddenly appeared in the young man's mind.
He instinctively raised his sword to parry, but the sword did nothing to stop it. Roya swung his staff and smashed it down on the young man's back.
The young swordsman had never seen anything like this before, and was knocked back by the opponent's somewhat outrageous attack.
Is he really just going to pick up his staff and start fighting?
Luo Qixi looked at her staff with a pained expression.
Although she knew that Roya wouldn't actually break her staff, she already regretted lending it to him.
Unfortunately, regret is of little use.
The young swordsman retaliated in anger, drawing his sword and slashing. Under Loki's terrified expression, the longsword clashed with the magic wand, producing a metallic clang.
The magic wand easily deflected the young swordsman's attack, and then with two quick swipes, it smashed the opponent to the ground.
Roya smiled at everyone and said, "See that? This is the true way a mage fights."
Everyone was speechless with astonishment, but Loki snatched the wand from Roya's hand in a huff and said angrily, "Stop playing around, who teaches others like this?"
Luo Ya shrugged. These days, nobody believes you if you tell the truth.
This theory was proposed by the famous strategist Gandalf.
With Ice Sorrow in your left hand and Fire Delight in your right, your melee abilities are off the charts. When everyone thinks you're a mage, you swing your staff and beat those assassins who try to get close to you so badly they won't recognize their own parents. That's the highest level of a mage.
Roya was deeply saddened by this.
Helpless, he picked up the longsword that had fallen to the ground, helped the dazed boy to his feet, and gave him a warm smile, asking, "Are you alright?"
The young swordsman remained bewildered, already wondering if he had learned a fake Water God Style.
The defeat was too quick and too inexplicable.
It's utterly incomprehensible that such an extreme sense of crisis had saved him countless times.
Luo Ya patted the other person on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Everyone, when facing the Sword God style, just remember one thing: if you encounter someone one level higher, you only need to defend and you will have a chance to turn the tide. But if you encounter a Sword God style master who is two levels higher, don't hesitate, just run. Of course, whether you can escape depends on whether the other person is in a good mood."
Everyone remained silent, waiting for Roya to speak.
Koroya didn't speak, but stepped aside and stopped talking.
Jin Jie turned her questioning gaze to Luo Ya and asked directly, "That's all?"
Roya nodded and said, "That's all."
Luo Ya perfectly embodied the meaning of "hearing a word from a wise man is like hearing a word from a wise man."
Jin Jie said helplessly, "How should we deal with swordsmen of the same level? You haven't even mentioned that yet."
After a moment's thought, Luo Ya said, "If you encounter a Sword God style master of the same level, you should focus more on finding their weaknesses, right? You are all Water God style swordsmen, so you must have more experience in this area. Of course, the stronger the swordsman, the faster their slashes will be. The most crucial thing is how to withstand the opponent's first slash. If you can withstand it, everything else will be easy."
In fact, the Sword God style and the Water God style are two completely opposite extremes.
One focuses solely on defense, while the other focuses solely on offense.
Swordsmen from both factions often clashed, but the current Sword Sanctuary is under the control of the Sword God School.
The title of Sword God is held by the strongest of the three ranks.
The Sword Gods throughout history have all been different. Sometimes the Sword God is controlled by the strongest of the Water God School, and sometimes by the strongest of the Sword God School. But for the past hundred years, the Sword God School has been the only one to dominate, occupying the Holy Land of Swords and taking that place as the origin of the Sword God School.
The real key is still experience.
Unfortunately, everyone clearly understood what Luo Ya was saying; what they truly lacked was that kind of experience.
That experience of having a sword stuck between your neck and your neck.
Seeing everyone's skeptical expressions, Luo Ya felt a bit of a headache.
Without further ado, he placed the young swordsman's sword at his waist. The moment Roya grasped the hilt, everyone's skin crawled. An extremely terrifying pressure emanated from Roya. Except for Luo Qixi, who looked completely innocent, everyone's face turned deathly pale.
