"How could this be? How could this be...?"
Yatogami Soshu muttered in a daze, looking as though he had seen a ghost.
Although the two sword techniques, One Flash and Tiger Pierce, were not secret arts of the Yatogami Family and almost everyone knew them, he had never imagined that someone could grasp thirty percent of their essence after seeing them only once.
If they truly had to be compared, this talent and comprehension even surpassed Yatogami Jingxue, the genius of the Yatogami Family, by a fair margin.
Long Yi was only a member of the main family in name. He was not of Yatogami blood. In Yatogami Soshu's eyes, he had always been an outsider, an inferior.
A commoner's son had seen through the Yatogami Family's swordsmanship at a glance?
The stubborn old man could not accept it.
In truth, things were not as Yatogami Soshu imagined. Although Long Yi's talent and comprehension were not low, they were nowhere near as outrageous as the stubborn old man believed.
The reason the youth had managed to learn the techniques by observation in such a short time was actually due to his own foundation in swordsmanship.
So-called sword techniques and sword forms ultimately boiled down to ways of slashing and thrusting with a blade.
During his two years at Marineford, Long Yi had already trained the military's swordsmanship to an exceptionally solid level.
After obtaining the system, he had gained quite a few skills to choose from, but when fighting enemies, Long Yi had no use for so many. Back and forth, it was only a few simple moves.
Chain Thrust and Three-Section Slash were among them.
It was precisely because he had these foundations that he could see through his opponent's moves and blend the essence of the Night God
