Chapter 456 I'm just a little faster and a little stronger.
The ninth playthrough begins, and the rabbit is sacrificed for the ninth time. The journey of repeating the previous playthrough goes without saying. After regaining the Crystal Love set, Broly does not go to the Holy Land of Swords this time, but instead heads south, crossing the upper jaw of the Crimson Dragon, and arrives at the territory of Fituia in the Kingdom of Asura.
Just as he was preparing to hold the Crystal Love Tour in this territory, he received guidance from this cyclical god.
"Broly, if I were you, I would never display your Crystal Love set here."
Why?
Broly looked at the little god with some confusion.
"Didn't you in the last timeline think that using the Crystal Love story as a gimmick would better attract more upper-class women to meet me?"
He asked it.
"I don't know about the previous cycle, but I do know about this cycle. If you display your Crystal Love set here, the noble family of Boreas, the lord of the Fetoia territory, might have some unpleasant conflict with you in order to obtain the Crystal Love set you have."
The little man spoke with an air of authority.
"Mere nobles, do you think I'd be afraid?"
Broly frowned. In his eyes, nobles and commoners in this world were all pretty much the same, since they all died in roughly the same way after he killed them.
"No, of course you won't be afraid, but killing such a high-ranking noble will make your search for unknown targets within the Kingdom of Asura much more difficult."
My suggestion is that you increase the reward for meeting people, using copper coins that are less likely to attract the attention of nobles, to attract more women from the commoner class to meet you.
As for the girls from aristocratic and wealthy families, you can easily meet them with my guidance. Although it will be a bit troublesome, it will make your subsequent journey to find a target for your affections smoother.
What do you think?
The gods and men asked.
"You really are a strange guy. What you said in this loop is completely different from the last loop."
Broly was somewhat speechless and began to complain to the little god in front of him.
"I was just trying to avoid my friends getting into trouble and to help them live a smooth life."
The words of the god were very sincere, and Broly had no doubts. He listened to His advice and resumed the commission model of paying money to meet people.
However, if the promotion is done under the name of the Crystal Love Fair, then after hearing about the reputation of Crystal Love jewelry, Lord Sauros Boreas Greirat of the Fituia Territory will definitely invite Broly to his home to showcase Crystal Love jewelry.
He might even want Broly to disassemble the necklace from the Crystal Love set so he can buy it and give it to his lovely granddaughter as a third birthday present.
Broly will have some conflicts with the other party because he refuses to sell. This part of the gods did not foresee the error, but what they foresaw was that after meeting Lord Sauros's granddaughter, Broly would give her the entire Crystal Love set.
Soros and his son Philip, on the other hand, would be willing to let him meet their granddaughter (daughter), Alice Boreas, who is about to turn three, because of his overwhelming sincerity.
Unfortunately, all of this took a turn because of the suggestion from the gods.
In January of the 408th year of the Kakuryo calendar, the little red lion, who was only two years old, was mischievously digging in the dirt in the courtyard of her home. She heard a passing maid talking about a strange halfling adventurer who had come to the city and would give a considerable amount of copper coins to any woman who went to see him, but she didn't care at all.
At her age, she had no concept of money. Even if she did develop a concept later, a mere few dozen copper coins would not be of any concern to her, given her noble family background.
Broly only stayed in the territory of Fituia for half a month before moving on to the next place, just as he had not found any targets before.
As for Buena Village, it was just a remote little village. When Broly was about to head in that direction, he was interrupted by the gods and led to another village. He didn't even pass by that village.
In the future vision of the gods, if Broly passes through that place, there is a certain probability that he will encounter the green-haired baby girl who was less than half a year old in that village.
With the help of the gods and men, Broly arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Asura, named after the ancient hero Ars, without gaining anything.
This place is also the location of the main dojo of the Suijin-ryu school. After arriving here, Broly excitedly took his King Dragon Sword and went to the main dojo of the Suijin-ryu school. He told the people at the door that he wanted to challenge the current Suijin-ryu to a sword duel.
In this regard, the Water God School was much more civilized than the Sword God School. No one asked him to prove his strength or anything. After the Water God School disciple went in to report, he came out to invite him in and even poured him a cup of tea.
"Are you here to challenge me?"
Broly waited in the lounge for a while before someone opened the wooden door and came in to ask him questions.
"This is the water goddess, Leda Lia."
The little god introduced the graceful woman opposite him; the water goddess Leda now looked very different from the old woman she would become more than twenty years later.
Although she is actually almost forty years old, she is very well-maintained and looks no more than twenty-eight or thirty-something.
She was plump and had a faint smile on her face, but she possessed a sharp edge unique to swordsmen.
"I'd like to have a swordsmanship contest with you."
Broly reiterated his purpose.
"Wang Longjian, are you the child of King Kalman II?"
The woman's gaze lingered on Wang Longjian for a moment before she asked a question.
"This is what I won, from Kalman III."
Broly shook his head in denial and explained the origin of the sword.
"To be able to defeat the descendant of a hero's son, you must be a very capable person."
Lydia praised him, then said, "However, if you want to challenge me, you'll need to prove yourself..."
"Your own strength, right?"
Broly tried to answer, but the woman opposite him shook her head: "It's not about strength, it's about money. You need to pay two Asura coins first. If you beat me, you'll get your money back, but if you lose, I'll take your challenge fee. How about it?"
"The water goddess Leda is a powerful figure who knows how to make money. Anyone who wants to challenge her but lacks confidence in their own strength will always be deterred by the high challenge fee."
Those who are confident in their abilities will be defeated by her powerful Water God Style swordsmanship, and thus be charged a hefty tuition fee.
However, in return for these paid challenges, the other party is unlikely to cripple or kill their opponent during the sword fight.
Basically, it's similar to providing swordsmanship instruction, except the sparring partner is the Water God, and the two gold coins can be considered the sparring fee for this Water God style master.
The little god explained.
"That works too."
Broly clicked his tongue in amazement, took out two Asura gold coins from the Crystal Palace, placed them on the table in front of him, and pushed them across.
"I've received your challenge fee. Now, please follow me."
Leda smiled and took the money from the table, then led Broly into the dojo.
The number of disciples at the Water God School's main dojo appears to be much greater than that at the Sword God School's main dojo.
Of course, the quality can't compare; most of the Sword Gods are Sword Saints.
Here, advanced swordsmen are few and far between. There are sword saints and sword kings, but they are all doing the work of instructors.
"Among the swordsmen she defeated, some chose to stay at the dojo as sword instructors. Among them were those who wanted to learn the more refined Water God Style swordsmanship from her, and others who were simply lecherous men who wanted a one-night stand with this Water Goddess..."
The little god's chattering introduction gave Broly a deeper understanding of the water god walking ahead.
He was taken to an empty training room, where the water goddess Leda stood opposite him, drew her real sword, and asked him to choose whether to attack first or second.
From the perspective of the Sword God style, which emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, going first means having an advantage. However, from the perspective of the Water God style, which emphasizes defense and counter-attack, going first means a disadvantageous start.
But according to the little god, this water god takes money to do things and will give challengers two chances, mainly to teach them a lesson with both forehand and backhand.
"I'll go first."
Broly thought for a moment and decided to attack first, intending to experience the water god's swordsmanship.
"it is good."
Leda Lydia smiled and agreed, holding her sword horizontally in front of her, assuming a standard defensive stance for the middle section of the Water God Style.
"Whoosh~"
The next moment, the sound of a sword blade slicing through the air rang out. Even in a low-energy state, and even without using the swordsmanship of the Sword God style, Broly's sword-wielding speed was still extremely fast.
However, he stopped before he could strike his target, because the sword of his opponent, the water goddess Leda, was already pressed against his throat.
Broly had to admit that the god-level powerhouses in this world were all quite skilled. Under equal circumstances, if you didn't know your opponent's moves, you would always suffer a setback.
Whether it's the Grim Reaper, the Sword God, or the Water God in front of us, they are all figures of the same caliber, just with different areas of expertise.
[Is it swordsmanship at the quasi-emperor level?]
Because Broly did not use the Sword God Style swordsmanship, the water goddess Leda made a mistake in assessing his strength.
"You're too kind."
The man said something politely and then sheathed his sword.
"I heard that you give people two chances to experience different feelings."
Broly sheathed his sword and asked directly.
"You've done your homework. That's right, I give paid challengers two chances, at least to make them feel that challenging me is worthwhile. It's my turn to go first, so get ready."
Broly returned to his original position and, right in front of the water goddess Reda, began to imitate the Water God Style technique that he had learned from Orstide.
"What? You stripped the Sword Realm of its power? How could you do that?"
Seeing the boy opposite her use her sixth secret technique, which she had created by combining two Water God Style techniques, she was greatly shocked.
"I learned this move from the Dragon God."
Broly was telling the truth.
"Dragon God, I've seen him before. He's a terrifying guy, but I've never fought him, much less revealed this secret technique to him..."
"He is an being who can continuously rewind time. You may have fought him on other timelines that were rewound, and he may have learned your moves."
"Going back in time?"
Leda Lydia was somewhat puzzled.
"You revealed the Dragon God's ability to rewind time without any hesitation."
The little god complained.
"Nobody asked me to keep it a secret."
Broly replied confidently.
"What you say is hard to believe, but I have no choice but to believe it for now. However, you've used my ultimate technique in front of me. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"If we don't do it this way, how can we know the difference between the Water God Style I've mastered and the Water God Style you've mastered?"
"All right."
Lida Lia also changed her attack starting stance, switching to the same Deprivation Sword Realm, and then slowly moved her feet to approach Broly, using her powerful learning ability to imitate (pseudo) Deprivation Sword Realm.
Between the two auras, the sound of swords clashing gradually rang out, but it wasn't like the barrage of sword strikes of the Sword God School; instead, it was like a gentle stream, flowing continuously.
However, since it wasn't real flowing water, Broly lost after the water goddess Leta got within two meters of him. His act of playing tricks on the water goddess with his self-created secret technique was actually the same as the original future water goddess facing Orstide, who had already prepared the background.
Unless he uses his already extremely high base stats to boost them, failure is perfectly reasonable.
You lost.
"Lyda Leah said."
Yes, I lost.
Broly readily admitted defeat.
"Can you tell me about the Dragon God?"
"What's there to talk about?"
"I can point out the shortcomings of your Water God Style swordsmanship."
After thinking for a moment, Leda offered him a reward.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"The Dragon God's time reversal will allow you to witness the matter of me stripping the Sword Realm of its profound mysteries."
"I don't know much. Time reversal is a secret technique that the first dragon god of the ancient dragon race used against the modern dragon god. As for stripping the sword realm, I learned it from him during a battle in a reincarnation."
"I find your words hard to believe. After all, you can't even beat me, how could you possibly deal with the Dragon God, the second strongest among the great powers..."
As soon as the water goddess finished speaking, the sword in her hand flew out.
"I didn't say that I used the strength and speed I used to compete with you to fight him."
Lydia felt a tingling sensation in her hand as she looked at the boy who had already sheathed his sword. Just now, when the sword was knocked away from her hand, she, as the water goddess, hadn't even reacted in time. The speed of that sword was too fast, even faster than the sword god she had ever seen.
"With speed and power like that, do you still need my guidance?"
She asked it.
"I'm just a little faster and stronger, but my Water God Style swordsmanship isn't that strong."
Broly explained.
"Alright, if you need it, I'll give you proper instruction in the Water God Style swordsmanship."
Broly's insightful remarks convinced Lydia, who had experienced it firsthand.
Therefore, she decided to fulfill the verbal agreement and instruct Broly in the Water God Style swordsmanship.
