"The sword is made of ordinary iron, but becomes spiritual because of the hand that holds it, moves because of the heart, lives because of the blood, and dies because of the thought..."

In the alley of the slums, Fili, wearing a black raincoat, waved a bamboo sword to fend off the homeless man's wooden stick attack.

The slum was built in this century and was the best urban area at that time. Most of the buildings were six-story buildings, but they have not been renovated for seventy or eighty years. They also missed the good era of popularization of elevators. In addition, the city center of Jiashi gradually moved to other new urban areas, and the rich people moved away. This place gradually became a slum where the lower class people rented.

Property management does not exist here. Illegal shantytown redevelopment is everywhere. Clothes are hung on crossed electric wires. The raised stone slabs are like traps that will leak sewage when stepped on. The walls are covered with mottled and flaking wall plaster and extremely suspicious water marks. The vomit of drunkards and the feces and urine of unknown creatures form layer upon layer of patina on the ground. If the sewer of that residential building bursts, it will be a carnival.

When the tramp said he wanted to practice swordsmanship here, Fili was stunned.

In her impression, swordsmanship training should be done in a clean and spacious dojo, wearing protective suits and training with a sense of ritual.

But after all, the other party was a homeless person who was so poor that he had to sleep in the open air. Fili didn't expect to have that kind of environment, but the spacious and flat areas on the river bank or in the park were also open to the public for free!

But the tramp choked her back with a few words: "Are you using it for competition or actual combat?"

"Flat ground? In actual combat, do you need to clear away the rocks on the ground in advance?"

"Spacious? If you like to go big, why don't you use a hammer or an axe? In actual combat, can you guarantee that there are no walls, trees, or other people next to you? When you are stuck with a knife or a meat stick, do you have to abandon the sword and use bare hands?"

"Protection? I don't mind you walking around in armor, as long as you don't mind being treated like a fool."

Although it was very impolite, it did sound somewhat reasonable, so Fili specially got a black raincoat, which could be used to cover her appearance - she still had some sense of her attractiveness - but more importantly, she was not afraid of getting dirty and would not feel bad if splashed with dirty water.

So, in the past month, people in the slums have seen two homeless lunatics fighting in the alley every day. Normal people would never dare to deal with lunatics, and the hooligans who dared to cause trouble to lunatics were simply Fili's experience packs, and everyone got used to it after a few interactions.

Bang!

The tramp kicked half a floor tile away, and when Fili was about to break it with her bamboo sword, he suddenly threw the wooden stick away, picked up the broom next to him with both hands, and chopped it down with the posture of a two-handed giant sword!

As soon as Fili dodged the wooden stick, she saw the broom coming down hard, and the attack position happened to be her right side, which was the area where her torque was the shortest. Most of her muscles could hardly exert force. If she had to block it, the bamboo sword would definitely fall out of her hand!

"ha!"

She shouted and retreated, hitting the broom in a chopping manner! But the opponent was much stronger than her, his arms were longer than hers, and his feet, waist and shoulders were much stronger than hers. One force was enough to break ten skills. She couldn't chop successfully. Instead, the force from the broom would hurt her wrist along the bamboo sword!

But just before the bamboo sword touched the broom, the air that had been compressed to the extreme vibrated violently and cut towards the broom like a wave!

Bang!

The broom was chopped off directly. Although the homeless man reacted quickly and stepped back immediately, the bamboo sword still quickly approached him.

"I won!" Fili put away the bamboo sword and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, but she became uncertain: "I won?"

"You did win," said the tramp, "but it's only one win in the whole month. There's nothing to be proud of—"

"You two bastards broke my broom!?" A middle-aged woman rushed out from the house next door, yelling and cursing. Fili and the homeless man quickly ran away.

They ran to an abandoned construction site. It was unknown whether it was unfinished or not. Anyway, there was no one inside. Fili sat on the steel, holding the bamboo sword tightly, and asked excitedly: "I won! Have I learned all the sword techniques I taught you? Have I graduated?"

Vosloda glanced at her without saying anything. He picked a branch from the tree next to him, then aimed it at the steel pipe and chopped it directly in half.

Fili stared at the cut on the steel pipe in amazement. Vosloda said slowly, "Although you can now emit sword energy fluctuations in actual combat, you are still far from the peak. To be honest, I am very disappointed because you already have the foundation to emit sword energy fluctuations, but it took you a month to use it in actual combat. You are simply the worst student I have ever taught."

"Is this really something a human can do?" Fili tried to chop the steel pipe, but the most she could do was leave a shallow mark on it. "Professor, you're not cheating, are you? Do you have super powers?"

Vosiloda's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he asked back, "If you saw someone slashing out sword energy waves a month ago, would you also think that the other person had superpowers? All the skills that have been studied to a deep level are unimaginable miracles in the eyes of others."

Fili thought so too. When the professor told her that "swords hitting the air can form sword energy waves" when she first started practicing, she also thought it was a game setting. But after a month of practice, she can now control the sword energy waves independently. It seems incredible, but it is actually very simple.

Just like when you push the water surface, ripples will be created outwards, the sword energy fluctuations are just ripples in the air when the sword pushes the air. The next step is very simple, just like when the ripples on the water surface reach a certain level, they are enough to become a tsunami. With a little skill, Fili can turn these air ripples into a sharp blade that cuts through everything.

Thinking of this, Fili stood up and bowed deeply to Vosloda: "Thank you, Professor!"

Although she had learned swordsmanship from the professor for a month, Fili did not know his name because the professor said that his company's warehouse was in Canaan City, and now his business had gone bankrupt and he was being harassed by loan sharks for debts, so he could not reveal his name. He also asked Fili not to reveal his whereabouts. Fili could only tell others that she learned it in the swordsmanship class.

Canaan City was the location of the first Angel Hunt. Now the entire city is gone, and the company warehouse has naturally become a ruin. With such a reason to keep up with current events, Fili naturally couldn't find any fault with it, so she called him professor.

"Yes." Vosiloda said calmly: "Starting tomorrow, I will also use the same level of sword energy fluctuations as you, so be mentally prepared."

"Okay, professor!" Fili nodded heavily, turned around, took out her cell phone and muttered to herself: "Should I tell him now? Or should I ask him to spar with me later? But if I beat him, will he be unhappy?"

Vosloda's expression was very complicated. After all, in the past month, he had seen Fili missing her boyfriend countless times. Even Fili came to learn swordsmanship for her boyfriend - according to her, the boy's living environment was very dangerous, so she wanted to learn swordsmanship to protect him.

Then, for the next five days in a row, Vosiloda broke the limbs of all the thugs in Jiashili's "dangerous living environment", but unfortunately that guy was not among them.

Fili was very tight-lipped and would never reveal any information about the boy. Vosloda also thought about following her, but Fili left by public transportation, while he couldn't take public transportation - he couldn't pass the security check with his face hidden.

But he absolutely could not show his face. Vosiloda knew with his brain that the Star Legends were definitely the primary targets of other teams, so he abandoned his original identity and hid in the slums as soon as he entered the Star Kingdom. And he was right. A few days ago, a man in black was holding photos of him, the Night King, and the Pope and asking around. Vosiloda simply interrogated them and found out that someone in the underground world was offering a reward for their arrest.

So Vosloda could only watch Fili fall in love, and he couldn't say anything.

He has no right to preach, either in this world or in that world.

"That kid can't beat you." Vosiloda said calmly, "Unless he has a Saint... Anyway, ordinary people can't beat you who can control the fluctuations of sword energy. But there are some people in this world who are very self-abased. When they find that they are surpassed, they will get angry, lose their temper, and even belittle others. So I suggest you go over and beat him up immediately to see what kind of person he is."

"Then he is definitely not that kind of person." Fili retorted without hesitation: "After all, the sword--"

Although Fili shut up immediately, Vosloda was keenly aware of something, "Sword? Besides you, there are other women practicing swordsmanship around that kid?"

The little sheep thought about it and felt that she had become very familiar with the professor during this period, and the professor always gave her a similar sense of intimacy as senior Demir. She felt that the professor would not harm her, so she briefly told him about the love troubles she had encountered.

However, she still remembered to conceal the identities of Ash and the others. Ash became "Xiu Xiu", Sword Lady became "Jian Jian", and the Witch became "Mo Mo".

"Wait a minute," Vosloda asked anxiously before she could finish, "You mean that guy has two mistresses besides you, his legitimate girlfriend?!"

Fili was startled, and suddenly realized that because she was biased towards herself, she had intentionally or unintentionally ignored a certain premise in her words, so she lowered her head and said, "No, it's not what you imagined..."

"Fili, I..." Vosloda said awkwardly, "I know that as a middle-aged uncle, I shouldn't interfere in the lives of you young people, but I know that you are a good girl and you deserve a better partner, not a boyfriend who picks up garbage from the trash can!"

"It's not what you imagine!"

"Those who cheat are scumbags who can't control their lower body. Those who know that the other person has a partner but still get involved are even more shameless and lowly! And he has not just one, but two lovers. I really don't know what those women think. Don't they find it disgusting——"

"I'm not his girlfriend, I'm the last one to come!" Fili shouted desperately, "I'm the third... the fourth one!"

This completely confused Vosloda. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. He looked around for help, as if expecting a thug to jump out of the darkness to ease the atmosphere - unfortunately, the thugs in the slums all had their legs broken by them.
