BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20 - Mastery
Chapter 20: Mastery
It would be easy for Roja to remember the plot of the original story but in order to figure out how to use “the rhythm of everything,” he would have to spend a lot of energy. However, this book contains the essence of the sword and “The rhythm of everything” was explained clearly.
The word rhythm of everything sound extremely complicated but if we use another word to describe this state and make it simple that would be …
Focus.
Yes, it’s such a simple thing But even if it sounds simple it’s still very difficult to learn.
For ordinary people to completely concentrate without any distraction and focus on just a single object would be hard.
But when they could do it then that would give birth to a very different feeling.
This is the so-called “rhythm of everything”.
“In a state of absolute focus on the sword and absolute focus on the object to cut would reveal a different kind of power from the same strike.”
Roja looked at the sword while remembering the word from the book.
The book was compiled from all the books of the Marine database there must be numerous people who did read and found it easy to understand.
But understanding it is something and executing it is something else as it’s hard to concentrate without getting distracted by anything.
Many swordsmen after several years or even decade of continuous training could finally enter this state.
This state will be enough to block the road of countless swordsmen.
“Focus?”
Roja looked at the content of the book and tried reading it again and closed his eyes after a moment and placed the book to the side.
In general, Most swordsmen will need to keep swinging the sword countless times until they can concentrate on it without any distractions.
But Roja felt that doing it won’t be necessary.
“A heart without distraction … ”
Roja closed his eyes and murmured in his heart and began to adjust his breathing and thought.
Roja was different than ordinary people he died once and come to this world and his soul could be said to be on a different level than ordinary souls.
And with this power, he could approach that state really fast and could control his thought with force.
In the beginning.
Roja forced his line of thought but still encountered many difficulties as a lot of ideas kept jumping out in his mind and continued to interfere with him.
But Roja little by little made those ideas disappear.
Gradually he didn’t know when it started but his heart begins to become focused.
In silence, Roja opened his eyes. A pair of clear eyes could be seen. There wasn’t even a trace of distraction.
Everything between heaven and earth is silent the only thing he could hear is his own heartbeat.
This is a very strange state.
This isn’t state of a daze because he could clearly observe his surroundings as he was fully conscious of what he’s doing but there wasn’t any complicated thought jumping in his mind.
“This is the heart without distraction the completely empty state?”
After entering this state Roja Heart was filled with surprise But he soon calmed down.
This is not a normal “Focused” state but an ethereal state extended from the other.
Roja began to try with his mind completely focused on the objects beside him. It seemed faint but he was able to hear the table, chairs, cups and the ground breathing.
“Is this that state?”
Roja suddenly doubted because this state and the description are somewhat similar.
In his heart, an explicable feeling arose. This state is the realm of swordmasters and it seems really powerful.
This state gives the user a domineering feeling to him.
However, Roja couldn’t get this feeling from Garp But he knew that Garp knows this state. It shows that he glimpsed at the first level of the swordmaster realm.
“Focus.”
Roja’s eyes looked at his sword.
He gently pulled Honoo no Tsuki and then picked up a piece of paper and threw it on the air.
“If I want the sword to cut something then I cut it, if I don’t want the sword to cut something then it won’t cut it … try it”
Roja mind focused on the piece of paper sliding in the air while holding his sword in his hand.
The next moment Roja suddenly waved and a sound burst out through the air with the sharp sword in his hands and hit the paper.
The paper … wasn’t cut.
wanting to cut a plain paper is naturally a simple thing but wanting to use a sword to hit a paper without cutting it That was the realm his looking for.
“This is it.”
To see his own sword fall on the paper and did not damage it a bit. Roja’s eye flashed with a ray of light and got out of the focused state.
“Is it this simple?”
He put his sword back into his scabbard Roja looked at the piece of paper and suddenly shook his head “No, I was in a completely quiet place so I could enter that state.”
“But it won’t be easy to maintain this state while in battle.”
Thinking to here Roja eyes cleared.
Sure enough his way to force out his thought through his soul power is feasible
want to comprehend this state normally you will have to train for days and days until you could gradually become one with the sword and finally comprehend and control this state.
And another kind of method is this special method Roja used. This method was stated in the book but most people couldn’t use it.
Roja was suitable to use that method.
“Then the next thing is to try and enter this state at will in any place then it will be stable.”
“It still feels too simple.”
