Luo Ya once again easily cut away the fallen stones and walked out of the pile of rocks. This time, the time to pass the test was much faster than before.

The sky outside is still a little gray, and there is still some distance before dawn.

Simply Luo Ya walked directly to the open space and sat cross-legged, feeling the changes in his body after passing the test.

First of all, the sword intention has been greatly compressed again. According to the speed of Luo Ya meditation, the time saved is about a year. This is no different from the previous test.

Secondly, it burned the giant wolf that the desire of the entire kingdom turned into, causing the number of sword intent to increase significantly again, and the speed of compression could not keep up with the increase.

Finally, Greedy Wolf's unique ability to absorb energy was inherited by Luo Ya.

Normally speaking, although Luo Ya and Black Flame are a mixture of Haki sword intent and so on, their essence is still a kind of energy.

Just like Army Breaker Star during the trial, even if Luo Ya turned into a piece, Black Flame was slashed and consumed a lot. In the end, the figure could not sustain the consumption and won.

The essence is that the energy hedging causes mutual loss, which is why Logia Devil Fruit User has the power of a natural disaster to change the terrain.

Like the ten-day battle between Akainu and Aokiji in Punk Hazard, the entire island was directly occupied by lava and ice and became an island of ice and fire.

The most intuitive manifestation of Luo Ya gaining the power of Greedy Wolf is that if he is allowed to pass the Army Breaker Star trial again now.

The figure's final slash that exhausts all the energy will be completely swallowed and absorbed by Black Flame.

Just like Luo Ya's attack on the giant wolf, it will only cause Black Flame to become stronger and stronger. Of course, Luo Ya's absorption capacity is not unlimited.

At the very least, the energy absorbed by Luo Ya has to undergo a transformation process before it can be used for its own use, which is incomparable to the giant wolf.

It also increased the refining speed of the two supreme sharp knives of Black Flame and Flame Evil in the soul space by more than several times.

In short, this test made Luo Ya's strength greatly improve again.

As the sky gradually became brighter, Luo Ya opened his eyes and stood up, lit a cigarette and slowly walked towards the village.

Luo Ya returned to Maya's home. The old woman and the old woman had already gotten up and were eating breakfast.

Seeing that Luo Ya was back, Maya gestured vaguely to Luo Ya to come with him, and then went back to cooking.

After everyone had breakfast, the old lady leisurely smoked a cigarette and went out for a walk.

Maya also rushed to the water pool for physical training after clearing away the dishes.

Luo Ya returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed to continue meditating.

The whole morning passed in the blink of an eye. After the knock on the door, Maya's words reached Luo Ya's ears through the door.

"Come out to eat!"

Luo Ya Hearing this, he got up and left the room, sat down and enjoyed lunch with the two of them.

While eating, Luo Ya suddenly thought of something and looked at Maya who was devouring it with some confusion, and asked.

"How many laps did you run around the pool this morning?"

"I can't remember. I was counting laps at first, but I was too tired from running and forgot about it." Maya answered Luo Ya's question vaguely.

Luo Ya thought in confusion, "I seemed to have passed out after running for three or four hours, right? This little girl doesn't look like she can lie or deceive in the movie. Is she really a genius?"

Thinking of this, Luo Ya said,

"Check your progress this afternoon."

"How can we improve after just one day of training? You don't just want to find a reason to hit me, do you?" Maya said as if he had discovered the truth of the matter.

"Haha, I don't have to find a reason to beat you." Luo Ya sneered and stopped talking and started to work.

After everyone finished eating, Maya put away all the dishes and chopsticks and set off towards the water pool with Luo Ya.

After arriving at the open space where the wooden piles were placed, Luo Ya pulled out Ryujin Jakka with a swipe and pointed at Maya.

Maya quickly picked up a wooden sword and stood ready for Luo Ya.

Luo Ya raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and swung Ryujin Jakka to hit Maya on the head.

With a clang, Maya actually struck Ryujin Jakka's blade with his wooden sword and deflected the blow.

At the same time, he slashed hard at Luo Ya's shoulder.

Luo Ya His left hand formed into a claw shape and grasped the wooden sword that was attacking his shoulder.

At the same time, he waved Ryujin Jakka at Maya and slashed at the arm holding the sword.

In desperation, Maya pulled out his sword with all his strength and broke the wooden sword with a click. At the same time, he quickly retreated to avoid Luo Ya's slashing attack.

Luo Ya saw this and threw down the broken sword and said.

"Go get a new wooden sword and show me how to swing it against a wooden stake."

Maya pouted, dropped the half wooden sword in his hand, picked up a brand new wooden sword and adjusted his breathing.

Then he slashed hard at the wooden pile with a very standard posture.

With a click!, in Luo Ya's shocked eyes, Maya directly split a huge hole in the wooden stake with his wooden sword. Unfortunately, he did not have enough stamina to stop the lower half of the wooden stake and did not completely cut it open.

"Wow, I split this wooden stake, did you see it?" Maya pointed at the wooden stake and said to Luo Ya excitedly.

At this time, Luo Ya was completely convinced that Maya was a genius. When he taught Madalina to practice swordsmanship, he ate green fruits every day and it took almost a year to feel Breath of All Things.

However, it only took Maya one day of actual training to cut through wooden stakes with a wooden sword, which means that he has touched the threshold of the breath of all things.

And after undergoing a lot of physical training, my appetite increased significantly, but I didn't look tired at all, and my strength obviously improved a lot.

Not to mention how embarrassed Luo Ya was when he first practiced sword practice.

Luo Ya came back to his senses and explained to Maya, "This is called understanding Breath of All Things. When you can cut through steel with a wooden sword, or when an iron sword does not damage paper, you will truly become a swordsman."

"The more focused you are when practicing your sword, and the more you trust the sword in your hand, the faster the process will be."

"From now on, half of the physical training in the morning will be spent running laps, and the other half will be used for detailed training with the fitness equipment I left here."

"It's useless to have strong arm strength. The waist, abdomen, legs and shoulders must be exercised."

"Did you see that huge iron ingot?" Luo Ya said, pointing to a dark iron ingot among a large pile of equipment. It was originally used by Luo Ya to train his control and cut it with all his strength without leaving any traces, but it was never used later.

"Yeah, I saw it."

"From now on, you can use any iron ingot to practice your sword. The wooden stakes are useless. When can you use a wooden sword to cut through iron? I will teach you Haki."

"What is Haki? Is it a swordsman's move?" Maya, who has never been out of the island, asked in confusion.

"To put it simply, Armament Haki can enhance your ability to attack and defend. There is also Observation Haki that allows you to sense the surrounding enemies, including their location and strength, etc. But we will wait until you can Iron-Cutting." Luo Ya raised his left hand and pointed at the dark Haki above to explain.

"Yeah, then I'm going to train." Maya said as he enthusiastically picked up the wooden sword and started swinging the sword a thousand times a day against the iron ingot.

Luo Ya, who looked behind for a while and found that he had nothing to offer, lit a cigarette, smoked and returned to the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw an old woman smoking a cigarette pipe. Luo Ya immediately asked,

"Do you know Maya's talent? She is a genius."

"Haha, Maya is the witch with the easiest communication with Seven Stars of Asuka over the years. Seven Stars of Asuka blessed her when she was born." The old woman replied proudly.

"No wonder you, the miko lineage, don't have any means of self-defense? Since she is the most talented miko descendant, you still want her to practice swordsmanship with me?" Luo Ya is a little puzzled, because even if the miko inheritance has no self-defense means, simply practicing boxing and kicking with Maya's talent must be very effective.

What's more, it's hard to believe that a profession that has been passed down for so many years does not have some trump cards.

The old woman took a deep drag on her pipe and exhaled a large cloud of smoke before slowly speaking,

"Our miko lineage originally had a special method for practicing swordsmanship and physical skills, but unfortunately it was lost a long time ago."

"In my generation, we can only simply use the power of Seven Stars of Asuka to strengthen our bodies. And Maya is a witch who was born blessed by Gods. She has been smart and learned everything quickly since she was a child. The mission of trapping Asuka Island is best ended in my generation."

"From now on, Maya can choose the life she wants according to her own wishes. As for the ability to communicate with Seven Stars of Asuka, it will be of little use after losing Seven-Star Sword."

Luo Ya curled his lips and thought to himself, "You are such a bad old lady. You can only simply strengthen your body and cheat the devil."

However, what Maya said should be true. At least Luo Ya feels that she is indeed very talented as a swordsman. It is not surprising that she has that strange purple light in her body.

After all, the purple light has greatly improved Luo Ya, let alone an ordinary person who has never practiced cultivation.

At this time, Luo Ya, who was originally worried about how to arrange Maya after he left, suddenly thought of a good place to go.

He took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.

As Den Den Mushi was connected, a face with short white hair was simulated in the image of Den Den Mushi.

"Moses Moses, this is Maynard."

"Dezi, it's me."

"What's wrong with you brat? Come on and tell me, don't delay my drinking."

"Haha, didn't I just become Shichibukai? Let me show it off to you."

"Stop talking nonsense. That happened a few days ago. If you don't tell me, I hung up."

"No, I have accepted a disciple. She is a super talented little girl, but her mind is too simple. I want to arrange her to be taught by you, an old fool like you."

"Super genius? Or a woman?" Maynard was muttering in his mind at this time. Luo Ya This kid said he was a super genius, so I'm afraid he is really quite talented.

And Maynard is not resistant to the identity of women. Those who say that women can never become strong can go to New World and have a try with Charlotte Linlin.

"No problem, your apprentice is not equivalent to my disciple. You can do it at any time."

"It's safe, I'll call you before we leave." Luo Ya hung up the phone immediately after saying that, looked at the old woman aside and said.

"Do you have any objection to this arrangement?" After all, my granddaughter was sent from Grand Line to West Blue in one stroke, so it would be better to consult her only relative for her opinion.

"I told you to take care of the arrangements and don't bother me, an old woman."

As he spoke, he blew his pipe on the table and slowly walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

Luo Ya shrugged his shoulders and went back to the room to continue meditating, preparing to talk to her about this matter when Maya came back in the evening.
