Sword Qi Traverses Thirty Thousand Miles, a Single Sword Illuminates Nineteen States

Golden Lion's figure rose from the ground, hovering in the air a meter or two above.

Whoosh!

He appeared before Ares with bullet-like speed.

Golden Lion wore an expression of mingled love and hate as he said to Ares, "Ares, do you know that my, Golden Lion's, swordsmanship is the best on this sea?!"

"So many people want to learn my swordsmanship, but they don't have the qualifications!!"

"Trash is trash, even if you try your best to teach trash swordsmanship, they can never become great swordsmen!!"

His tone unconsciously grew heavier, and he himself was extremely surprised and couldn't understand why Ares had rejected him.

Golden Lion's domineering and unruly face was filled with disdain for others as he continued, "You're the only person I, Golden Lion, valued when I joined the Rocks Pirates!"

"I believe you can reach the pinnacle of this world!"

His eyes became eager and gentle as he said with some excitement, "Learn swordsmanship from me! Become a powerful pirate that everyone fears!!"

"Use your power to conquer—this sea!!!"

"Jie hahaha..."

Finally, he let out a wild and confident laugh, and an astonishing aura erupted from his body, stirring up a fierce gale that swept in all directions.

His hair, which reached the ground like a lion's mane, flew wildly.

The powerful and intimidating aura shocked the hearts of the pirates in the training room.

This was—Shiki the Golden Lion!

But Ares, standing before Golden Lion, remained calm, unmoved by Golden Lion's empty promises, and stuck to his beliefs.

He refused, "I don't want to practice swordsmanship. I just want to forge myself into a blade that surpasses Supreme Great Swords!"

"Swordsmanship will only distract me and waste my time!!"

Hearing Ares's words, Golden Lion's face flushed with anger, and he glared at Ares with sharp eyes, saying somewhat heatedly, "Ares, do you know how many people crave to practice swordsmanship with me?"

"Do you know how powerful swordsmanship is?"

As he said this, the anger on his face subsided a lot, and he said with a hint of doubt, "Ares, does this kid not know how powerful swordsmanship really is?"

Thinking of this, Golden Lion immediately said, "Ares, come with me. Let me, Golden Lion, show you what great swordsman-level swordsmanship is!"

"Let me show you that I, Golden Lion, was able to become the first division commander of the Rocks Pirates because of my great strength!"

Ares nodded and said in a very flat tone, "Even if swordsmanship is strong, it's not as practical as improving one's own body."

Then he followed behind Golden Lion, leaving the training room under the envious and jealous gazes of his pirate comrades.

Ochoku quickly walked to Ares's side, put his arm around Ares's shoulders, and didn't mind the sweat on Ares's body at all. Anyway, he could just wipe the shiny armor with a rag when he got back.

Simple and easy!

Fortunately, Ochoku was also quite large, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to put his arm around Ares's shoulders. He smiled and said in Ares's ear, "Ares, Golden Lion's swordsmanship is very strong."

"Even I can't compare to him. There's only one person on this sea who can compete with him in swordsmanship, Patrick Redfield, The Lone Red!!"

"The Lone Red... Redfield?" Ares had never heard of this person either, and he didn't know the other party's strength at all, but although he knew that his mind would sometimes be confused.

But he also knew that someone who could be compared to Shiki the Golden Lion must be very powerful!

Ochoku smiled, stroked his beard with his other hand, and said, "Speaking of that guy's story, you could talk about it for a day and a night."

"He's a lone wolf who's never lost to anyone in swordsmanship!"

His face was filled with longing, and he said with some regret, "It's a pity... I didn't get to meet that guy, otherwise I would have really wanted to see his swordsmanship."

The Lone Red: Patrick Redfield!

Ares kept this name in his heart. If such a powerful person fought with him, he would definitely be able to hone himself.

If he met him, He definitely couldn't miss it!

The group of three gradually moved away from the town and headed towards an extremely remote valley area.

On the way, Ochoku also patiently told Ares interesting stories about this sea, which Ares listened to with great interest.

After all, he still knew very little about this world.

"Alright."

"Let's just do it here!"

Golden Lion, who was leading the way, stopped, turned to look at Ares, and said to Ares with strong confidence on his unruly face, "Ares, take a good look at my swordsmanship!!"

"It will definitely shock you!"

As he spoke, he drew the Supreme Great Swords "Withered Wood" from his waist with a whoosh!

Ares's tiger eyes were also fixed on Golden Lion, and he saw Golden Lion seemingly casually wielding the sword in his hand.

With a whoosh.

A dazzling golden slash shot out from the blade, instantly slicing off the head of a small mountain.

As easily as if he were splitting a cucumber in half with a kitchen knife.

And this was a mountain several times larger than a giant!!!

Fast and strong!

Seeing this, Ares couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "What was that?!"

That dazzling and powerful golden slash refreshed his understanding. For Ares, who had never seen a slash before, his heart was deeply shocked.

Boom!!!

The severed mountaintop crashed heavily onto the mountain, making a deafening sound, and dust filled the air.

Ares also felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently.

"How about it? This is the swordsmanship of me, Golden Lion!" Golden Lion boasted with a smug look, even showing off with a flourish of his famous sword.

The sharp, snow-white blade reflected bursts of cold light under the sunlight, a bit dazzling.

Ochoku also reached out and patted Ares on the shoulder, with a smile on his face: "Now you've seen the power of swordsmanship, right? With swordsmanship alone, Shiki is an undisputed powerhouse on this sea!"

Only by seeing the vastness of this sea, and the power of the world's strong, will you know how small you really are!

Most people will despair and fear because their enemies are too strong, while a small number of people will choose to work hard to surpass those strong.

A person's choice determines his fate.

And the effort and persistence he puts in will determine how far he will go on this path, even surpassing the established goal!

Reaching a new height, building on the foundation of his predecessors, and climbing to the peak again.

And Ares is undoubtedly one of those few, otherwise he would not have persisted even after years of brutal training.

With golden light flashing in his eyes, he said somewhat excitedly, "Such swordsmanship is too powerful!"

"I want to learn this kind of attack too!!!"

For some reason, a sentence involuntarily popped into his mind at this moment:

Sword energy crisscrosses thirty thousand miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces!
