Chapter 15
Lin Wuya was less surprised than Kuina, displaying only a slight expression of astonishment. This was likely due to his knowledge of the original book, which described Zoro's three-sword style and his unique ability to hold the third sword in his mouth while developing even more powerful techniques.
Among these techniques, one of the most formidable was the "Three Thousand Worlds" attack.
...
With a serious expression, Lin Wuya turned towards Zoro and Kuina and declared, "Today, I will teach you a new set of skills!"
"Master, what kind of skills will you teach us today?" Kuina asked eagerly.
The training they had received from Master Tai over the past half month had proven immensely useful, so she was eager to learn what new skills Lin Wuya had in store for them.
"Today, I won't be teaching you swordsmanship, but rather physical skills," Lin Wuya said, placing his hands behind his back.
"Even swordsmen need to develop powerful physical skills," he continued, responding to Kuina's curiosity. "These skills can greatly enhance your combat effectiveness. I will also teach you a speed-based physical technique called 'shaving'."
"This technique is considered one of the most powerful physical skills in the Marines, but it is also extremely challenging to master. Only a select few of the most skilled Marine generals have been able to do so," Lin Wuya explained.
"But if you are able to learn it, you will be able to face even the strongest opponents and defeat them with a single strike," he added.
"Does it really have the power to defeat an opponent in one blow?" Zoro and Kuina exclaimed in awe. They were amazed by the incredible power of the "shave" technique.
Lin Wuya smiled faintly as he noticed the stunned expressions on their faces. "Now, I will show you the true potential of 'shaving'," he said.
Originally one of the six styles in the Marines, Lin Wuya had learned about "shaving" through the system while training on the mountain. It was an incredibly powerful physical skill that allowed a person to move at incredible speeds, almost to the point of disappearing entirely.
As a swordsman, being able to use "shaving" would give them an incredible advantage in battle, and could indeed result in a one-hit kill.
"Watch closely," Lin Wuya commanded.
With a serious expression, he planted his feet firmly on the ground and unleashed the "shave" technique with a burst of speed. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from sight, leaving Zoro and Kuina stunned.
In the next moment, Lin Wuya reappeared twenty meters away from Zoro and Kuina, demonstrating the incredible speed and power of "shaving."
Zoro and Kuina were left speechless with shock at the sight of Lin Wuya's incredible burst of speed.
"The power of 'shaving' allows a person to move at incredible speeds, almost to the point of being unstoppable," Lin Wuya explained. "Just imagine, when a swordsman becomes a master of this technique, their fighting power will become unstoppable."
Zoro and Kuina were stunned by the idea, realizing the immense power and potential that mastering "shaving" could bring.
With this technique, a swordsman could move at incredible speeds and take down an opponent before they even had a chance to react. It was a truly fearsome power.
Lin Wuya gazed at Kuina and Zoro's fearful expressions and smiled before asking, "Do you want to learn?"
"Absolutely!" replied Kuina and Zoro, nodding without hesitation.
Such an exceptional physical skill was not something any fool would turn down!
With Zoro and Kuina showing a keen interest, Lin Wuya smiled and cautioned, "Shaving is an incredibly challenging skill to learn. The difficulty level is so high that only a few generals in the Marine have mastered it. Therefore, be prepared to endure considerable pain during the learning process."
Lin Wuya wasn't trying to scare Kuina and Zoro, but rather preparing them for the harsh reality. After all, shaving required an explosive physical technique that demanded one to continuously stomp both feet on the ground at lightning speed. Hence, if they wanted to master it, they would have to undergo grueling intermittent training.
"It's alright, Master! We aren't afraid of hard work! We can bear the pain!" Kuina said with a determined look, and Zoro echoed the sentiment.
Neither of them showed any fear on their faces.
Pleased with their undaunted expressions, Lin Wuya nodded in satisfaction. It appeared that even when they were young, both had exhibited strong perseverance.
Lin Wuya led Zoro and Kuina to a spacious open area and said to them, "I will teach you the principles of the shaving technique." Zoro and Kuina listened intently.
Lin Wuya then placed his hands behind his back and spoke softly, "Shaving is a high-speed explosive physical technique that involves using your feet to stomp on the ground instantly, generating a strong impact that propels you to extremely high speeds."
"Watch carefully," said Lin Wuya as he demonstrated the shaving technique to Kuina and Zoro.
As he demonstrated, Lin Wuya's feet moved so quickly that it was hard for Zoro and Kuina to follow. What they saw was a slow-motion version of the technique.
Tatata!
Lin Wuya's feet continuously stomped on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Master, is shaving really that simple? It seems like it's just a basic stomping movement," said Zoro as he watched Lin Wuya's feet.
"Simple?" Lin Wuya smiled. "It may seem simple to you, as anyone can stomp their feet on the ground. However, to perform the shaving technique, you must stomp your feet dozens of times in an instant to achieve the desired effect."
"Dozens of times in an instant?" Zoro was shocked. It was impossible to stomp his feet dozens of times in an instant!
Zoro attempted to replicate the technique, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only stomp his feet two or three times in an instant.
"Master, this is so difficult!" Zoro exclaimed, turning towards Lin Wuya.
"If it were easy, everyone would be able to learn it," Lin Wuya replied with a smile. He couldn't help but marvel at Zoro's naivety, as the young boy seemed to believe that everything was simple.
