The Girl Was in Hell
"Think!"
Kuina answered without hesitation.
Although she probably couldn't comprehend the level of mastery Lin Yan was referring to, that didn't stop Kuina from recognizing the power of this technique.
Needless to say, this is definitely not something that can be learned easily.
The fact that Lin Yan was willing to teach her such a secret technique filled Kuina with gratitude.
How could a young girl refuse?
However, when faced with this girl, Lin Yan reached out and tapped her forehead.
As mentioned before.
This is a powerful yet dangerous technology.
If it cannot be perfectly controlled, it will cause great harm to oneself. Even Lin Yan only decided to teach it to Kuina after careful consideration.
Firstly, Kuina's kendo talent is undoubtedly top-notch.
Lin Yan also wanted to see just how far she could go.
Secondly, it's also because of the existence of the Holy Grail of the Underworld.
No matter what mishaps Kuina encounters during the upcoming training, she can be restored using the Holy Grail of the Underworld.
But even so...
"The training will be tough, and it might be painful."
"I'm not afraid!"
"Don't rush to agree. Let me make this clear beforehand: you might suffer far more pain than you can imagine; it'll probably feel like hell."
Lin Yan looked at Kuina very seriously and said.
No power comes without a price.
The same applies to the fighter jets that arrived in the Divine Realm.
The unimaginable hardship is the most basic thing; if you want to acquire combat skills that surpass the limits, these are things you can't get past.
"Just like I said before, this technique is extremely dangerous, and one wrong move could even leave you with psychological trauma. I can understand if you decide to give up."
As she spoke, Lin Yan paused slightly.
"I have other things here that can make you stronger, but this is the fastest way. You don't need to answer right away; come back to me after you've thought it through."
Lin Yan said to Kuina.
His expression was indescribably serious.
With his Infinite Martial Arts abilities, there are many abilities that could make Kuina stronger. The reason he specifically chose this ability, besides the reasons mentioned before, was that Lin Yan also wanted to confirm Kuina's determination.
For the strongest.
The ability to face death without fear and forge ahead is an essential quality.
Thinking about it, Lin Yan reached out and touched Kuina's head.
"Of course, if you want to change your training method, my evaluation of you will not be lowered. Even among all the things I know, this ability can be called the Asura Path."
"I understand, I will seriously consider it."
This time, Kuina did not refute Lin Yan.
He simply nodded seriously.
As Lin Yan said, she needed to seriously consider the consequences of agreeing and whether she could stick to it.
Lin Yan wouldn't talk nonsense.
It's likely that the price to pay for mastering this ability will be equally high.
After saying goodbye to Lin Yan, Kuina went back to seriously consider it, while Lin Yan showed no intention of leaving, simply sitting quietly and waiting for Kuina's decision.
As mentioned before.
This is a fighting style that pushes the limits.
Even among all the skills Lin Yan has mastered, this is undoubtedly the most dangerous. It's hard to imagine what the person who invented this technology was in at the time.
But as the saying goes, effort and reward are equal.
Once mastered.
The resulting enhancements are also enormous.
The magnitude of its increase is terrifying. Considering the average physical condition of people in the Pirate World, it's likely that an ordinary person could obtain power comparable to Koushirou's.
And so they waited, until the moon and stars were few and far between.
At one moment, Lin Yan suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at Kuina was walking towards them from not far away.
The girl's face was full of determination.
"Teacher, I've thought about it."
Then, under Lin Yan's somewhat appreciative gaze, the girl spoke slowly but firmly.
"If I fear even the so-called hell, then my dream of World's Greatest Swordsman is nothing but a joke."
"So, please train me!"
"..."
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say.
Having clearly seen the flame burning in Kuina's eyes, Lin Yan finally nodded gently.
Hell lies ahead!
But given such a resolute determination...
Whether she rises from the ashes or falls into the abyss, these are the prices Kuina pays.
Soon, the agreed time arrived as scheduled.
On this day, Koushirou arrived at the dojo as usual.
However, unlike usual, the man's face was full of seriousness today.
The promise I made to Kuina also needs to be fulfilled today.
Rarely seen carrying his own sword, Koushirou sat quietly in front of the dojo, saying nothing, as if waiting for something, under the somewhat surprised gazes of his disciples.
The crowd began to whisper among themselves in surprise.
"Hey, hey... what's wrong with Master today?"
"I don't know?"
"Could it be that someone is planning to challenge us?"
Shh! Don't talk nonsense...
The disciples of the dojo watched this scene with great confusion, but Koushirou made no attempt to explain.
Today, he will fight with all his might!
Seemingly sensing Koushirou's solemnity, the dojo fell into complete silence, with everyone staring blankly, not daring to utter a sound.
Until two people appeared.
"Big, Senior Sister?!"
However, everyone was shocked when they saw Kuina's current appearance, including Koushirou, who looked at his daughter with some doubt and uncertainty.
The changes are just too great!
If the previous Kuina was just a little aloof, but still a very gentle and lovely girl...
Right now, Kuina is under immense pressure, like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath.
And this kind of pressure...
Koushirou couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
He'd seen that kind of imposing presence before!
It's not just a matter of momentum, but also a matter of powerful bloodlust!
Koushirou had seen this kind of aura in many strong people who had fallen into hell and struggled to climb out.
"What... happened?"
Why did my daughter change so much in just a few days?
What exactly is going on with that person's training?
Even Koushirou was utterly perplexed at this moment.
However, at this moment, Kuina had already walked slowly to Koushirou, and looking at Koushirou's unusually surprised and uncertain expression, she suddenly smiled gently.
"Father, I have returned from hell."
The girl spoke softly.
"Now, I'm going to decide on my dream."
