Nobunaga's Bizarre Experience

A flash of light.

Nobunaga was greeted by a vast expanse of space!

He looked somewhat surprised, glanced around, and clicked his tongue slightly.

"This is incredible! I never imagined that simply stepping through that door would transport me to another dimension!"

Inside the outer room.

As Nobunaga stepped through the door, his figure suddenly vanished from the room, leaving everyone wide-eyed in astonishment!

"Hey, where's Nobunaga!?"

"It... disappeared!"

"This is amazing! This door is actually a spatial artifact!"

Uvogin and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Ian quickly explained.

"Don't worry, Nobunaga should have arrived at the Training Grounds by now. Besides, what's the big deal? The Wallpaper House before was just a spatial artifact."

"But then we won't be able to see Nobunaga's training..."

Upon hearing this, Ian seemed to realize something, struggling to suppress his laughter. His lips twitched slightly as he forced a dry laugh.

"It's alright, it doesn't matter if we can't meet. Cultivation is a personal matter, and no one can do it for you!"

"Besides, the flow of time in our respective spaces is different. We just need to wait patiently for a while. Nobunaga... he should be able to come out soon... um... probably!"

At the same time.

It was located in another vast space, surrounded by light.

Nobunaga, carrying Tachi, slowly walked forward, surveying his surroundings.

Soon, he saw some training scarecrows around him, and Tachi displayed on weapon racks.

The moment Nobunaga saw the Tachi, an expression of excitement appeared on his face.

He was overjoyed at the sight of the sword and quickly ran over. Just as he was about to pick up a Tachi and examine it closely...

"Stop! How dare you, a nobody, provoke my name!"

Hearing a sudden rebuke, Nobunaga was startled, then turned around to look.

Ahead, on a wooden platform, sat a... cat dressed in a kimono!

"The cat is talking!"

Nobunaga rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"Tch! You idiot brat!"

At that moment, Nobunaga was completely captivated by the cat in front of him, whose petite body was dressed in a kimono.

His sharp, beastly eyes were full of murderous intent, and there was a vertical scar on his right eye. But his whole face was round and fluffy. Although he put on a dignified appearance, even Nobunaga found him quite cute.

"Um, are all these knives yours? Can't I touch them?"

The Cat Teacher sat upright, raised his cup with his paw and took a sip of clear, hot tea. Nobunaga found this scene somewhat absurd.

But.

The Cat Teacher didn't notice Nobunaga's strange expression; he simply narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"Of course, you can touch any of these famous swords, but only the strong can. And you... have you forgotten that you can't even manage twelve strikes per second? You dare to dream of touching my blade? Don't even think about it!"

Hearing its words, Nobunaga also became angry and retorted angrily.

"You talking cat, you came up to me for no reason and started insulting me. So what if I touch your knife!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached for the knife!

"Bass!"

The next second, in the blink of an eye, a cold glint flashed past Nobunaga's fingers!

"Laugh--"

Like the sound of cloth being torn, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Nobunaga's forehead.

He stared in shock at the ground just below his palm, where four huge cat claw marks were deeply etched into the earth. His fingers were just one centimeter away from being severed!

"You rude brat, do you expect me to reason with you, meow?"

Nobunaga's pupils contracted slightly. Before he knew it, the cat dressed in a kimono had already stood on the weapon rack, level with his eyebrows.

A pair of sharp, vertical pupils were staring intently at him.

"Heh... hehe... just kidding..."

Nobunaga remembered Ian's instructions and immediately spoke from the heart.

"Snort!"

Cat Teacher snorted coldly, then leaped down from the weapon rack and landed on the ground.

Nobunaga's gaze followed its movement.

The Cat Teacher, his whiskers twitching, stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

"To improve your sword-swinging speed, you have to start with the basics!"

"Swing your sword a thousand times first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Cat Teacher jumped onto the bottom weapon rack, swept his tail, and threw a thick, rusty iron stick at Nobunaga's feet.

"This sword is named Rustweight; you are now only fit to wield it!"

Nobunaga looked down at the iron rod, his lips twitching slightly.

"This... this is also a divination tool..."

"Hey, you nobody, what are you waiting for? Start cultivating!"

The Cat Teacher, dressed in pear blossoms, glared at Nobunaga with her eyes wide open, her scar adding to her imposing presence, and shouted.

"Um... I still need to find Ian. If I linger here any longer..."

Nobunaga wanted to take his leave, but little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Cat Teacher start trembling all over, and then he saw the other party clutching his stomach and bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, kid, you came here and want to run away instead of cultivating? You're not the first one. The door's right there, if you've got the guts, then get out!"

Upon hearing its words, Nobunaga's expression hardened.

It's over...

He seemed to recall what Ian had said earlier.

If you fail to reach that goal from within the doorway, you might be trapped inside for your entire life...

You'll be trapped inside that door your whole life...

Trapped inside the door...

Ian's words seemed to echo in his mind. Nobunaga quickly ran to the [Gate of Glory] he had just arrived at, but no matter how hard he pulled, the gate did not budge.

Throughout the entire process, Cat Teacher simply stroked his whiskers, watching this scene with a smile.

Soon, Nobunaga, realizing he couldn't leave, didn't have many other thoughts.

It's simply a matter of training and improving here!

He practices!

He silently returned to his original spot, picked up the heavy iron bar, and began to swing it, one stroke at a time, as he had always practiced.

Cat Teacher quickly came to his side, and seeing the other's actions, nodded secretly.

"He's quite sensible. Although his basic skills aren't very solid, he's willing to admit his mistakes and correct them. He might still have a breakthrough in the future!"

Nobunaga remained silent, only continuing to swing his iron club.

Gradually, his forehead was soaked with sweat.

Damn... this thing is so heavy...

That damn cat, is it out of its mind? Does it really think this is a knife?!

Even for honing strength, there's no training method like this...

"Nine hundred and ninety-four... nine hundred and ninety-five..."

In the final moments, as he approached his thousandth swing, Nobunaga gritted his teeth and persevered, veins bulging on his forehead, sweat pouring down his face, and his clothes already soaked through!

He was so focused on the swinging motion that he didn't notice that the iron rod in his hand had swollen up like a spiked club, making his slender waist thicker!

"One thousand!"

After swinging the iron rod a thousand times, Nobunaga was almost completely exhausted and lay down on the ground, panting heavily.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the iron bar in his hand!

Even if it were an iron bar, he could still swing it a thousand times!

But damn it...

What's wrong with this stick? Why does it feel heavier the more I swing it?

Wait... wait!

This stick wasn't this thick when I first got it, was it!?

"Cough cough!"

Just as Nobunaga stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, the Cat Teacher appeared beside him, flicked his tail, and the iron rod in his hand flew away!

"Get up! You want to rest now?"

"Do you still want to break the twelve-slash-per-second barrier?!"

Nobunaga's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he couldn't help but curse.

"I just finished a thousand reps, let me catch my breath and rest a bit!"

The Cat Teacher stared at him seriously and said in a deep voice.

"Will the enemy give you time to rest...? Hurry up! If you want to improve, keep training! The next training session is Flying Fish Collision!"

"Hey kid, here, you can borrow this knife for now. Remember, stay away from the flying fish! They're Iron-scaled Fish, and their numbers will keep increasing. Good luck!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nyanko -Cat Teacher tossed Nobunaga a three-foot-long dagger and then jumped away on his own.

Nobunaga, holding the light-weight sword in his hand, was still trying to understand what was happening!

Suddenly, it was as if mechanisms were emerging from the surrounding walls.

"Whoosh!"

A large black fish with a sharp spiky nose shot straight at him, and Nobunaga quickly swung his sword to block it!

"Clang!"

The swords collided, Nobunaga nearly stumbled, staring dumbfounded at the Mars flying from the blades.

You're telling me this is a fish?!
