Twelve days later, the Dimensional Door had undergone a great change. The white ground, which felt like the white clouds in the sky, was now encircled by mountains, lakes, and forests, forming a large area of over a hundred square kilometers that had taken on a new and magnificent appearance. In the newly appeared area, the mountains were strangely shaped and surrounded the land, the captivating sapphire-like lake was as calm as a mirror, and dense forests and vegetation covered the entire area. Occasionally, wild deer and rabbits could be seen that were not even afraid of people, and the beautiful environment was like a tranquil and charming painting, even making one mistake it for a fairyland.
Aincrad's 22nd Floor.
If any experienced players from the SAO world were present, they would immediately recognize this most famous location in the SAO world, also a rare peaceful floor in SAO. It was said that the Floor Boss of the 22nd floor was the weakest Floor Boss in the entire SAO virtual game world, actually directly killed by a probing exploration team.
Of course, this familiar scene that appeared in the Dimensional Door was not the 22nd floor of Aincrad in the original SAO. It was Morin himself who used his basic permissions to directly materialize the environment of the 22nd floor of Aincrad from SAO. Even compared to the 22nd floor of Aincrad in the virtual game, Morin maximized the area of the environment according to direct needs using his basic permissions.
However, apart from Morin's and Yuuki Asuna's villa, the only other artificial buildings were specialized firearms training grounds, sports fields, and warehouses. The rest of the area remained a purely natural environment.
As for the creatures, apart from a small number of wild wolves and wild boars, there were wild deer, goats, rabbits, snakes, squirrels, pigeons, eagles, and other birds and beasts. The fish, shrimp, and other aquatic creatures in the lake had not decreased much, and the rest were harmless insects. It could be said that this area materialized by Morin with his basic permissions maximized the reproduction of the beautiful environment of the 22nd floor of Aincrad but without any extra people or dangerous creatures living there. It was a beautiful place that made people want to live there for a long time.
However, Morin himself was not in the mood for sightseeing and vacation right now. Instead, he was undergoing rigorous training.
Susu.
Outside the villa where Morin and Yuuki Asuna had originally lived, Morin's whole person almost turned into a phantom, flexibly stepping directly across the treetops, but at most only causing imperceptible sounds. However, if someone knowledgeable was on the scene, they would find that Morin's speed as he rapidly moved through the treetops was absolutely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. That speed was extremely fast, and his dodging movements, even more agile than a monkey, were astonishing. Moreover, neither branches nor other obstacles could slow down Morin's speed, and those branches even silently shifted away when they were a certain distance from Morin's body.
Morin's speed, comparable to a top parkour expert, returned to the training ground outside the villa. He directly performed a dive and then tapped the ground at the moment of approach, a front flip landing him steadily on his feet. Without the slightest hesitation, in the next moment, Morin rushed towards a corner of the training ground.
There, dozens of crude wooden dummies, still bearing fresh bark and twigs, stood directly in that area, created by Morin himself and now used as practice targets.
Bang.
Rushing in front of the first wooden dummy, Morin punched it, breaking off the dummy's head. In the muffled sound of wood cracking, a piece of wood even flew more than twenty meters away. Over three meters tall and with a particularly deep foundation, the seemingly crude wooden dummies were not shoddy. They were completely made of freshly cut, hard tree trunks. Saying that this thing was much worse than steel was probably an understatement, but being able to break a tree at least thirty centimeters in diameter with a punch was not ordinary strength.
Even a heavyweight boxing champion with strong personal power would not dare to say that a casual blow could break a big tree.
Morin did not stop. His whole person directly clenched his fists and continued to bombard the crude wooden dummies in front of him. Punches, kicks, and various fighting moves were used one after another. Amidst the loud noises of the wood being struck by great force and the teeth-aching cracking sounds, the entire training ground seemed to have been frantically run over by heavy trucks. The incomplete torsos of the wooden dummies flew up one after another and crashed into the area of the training ground, which was comparable to a football field.
Morin himself did not hesitate at all, dismantling nearly double-digit crude wooden dummies in less than a minute. When nearly half of the wooden dummies on the scene were destroyed, Morin, who had been frantically destroying them, stopped. He slightly reached towards his waist, took out a longsword, and the cold light of the blade instantly cut a wooden dummy in front of him into many small pieces. Then he switched to a greatsword in his hand, directly cleaving the three wooden dummies in front of him in half at the waist. The cut surface, if not as smooth as a mirror, was still extremely flat.
In the next few minutes, after using the longsword and greatsword, Morin successively used several other cold weapons such as an axe, dagger, and spear, skillfully devastating over twenty wooden dummies.
Huff.
Morin, deeply exhaling a breath, finally stopped and turned back to look at the targets he had just attacked, nodding in satisfaction after finding that those crude wooden dummies could now be used as firewood.
The current Morin was far beyond the state he was in when he had just finished the Sword Art Online trial. Originally, he had a sub-healthy physique, even spending over a year in a private hospital bed in SAO, and overall he gave the impression of being weak, at most the personal quality of an ordinary high school student. Saying he could not even truss a chicken might be a bit of an exaggeration, but in a one-on-one fight, he probably could not even beat an ordinary but well-trained soldier. Even with the combat experience from SAO, Morin's physical condition was indeed not good. If he were to fight barehanded, it was indeed hard to say how much of his SAO combat experience Morin could bring to bear.
However, Morin now looked to be nearly 1.8 meters tall, wearing a set of deep black combat clothing all over his body, and the initial version of the Coat of Midnight that he had drawn was draped over him, making his whole person look exceptionally lean and capable. His fierce performance just now made it hard to associate him with the weakling he was half a month ago.
"The feeling of being strong yourself is truly fascinating."
Slightly moving his body, Morin felt that his current state was as good as it could be, even being able to easily run a hundred meters in nine seconds, and his strength was such that he could easily wield a heavy sword weighing dozens of pounds for an hour and still persevere.
And now that he had moved his hands and feet, looking at the virtual panel in front of him that he could check, Morin's expression was nothing but joy and admiration.
"Speaking of which, the methods of the gods are indeed extraordinary, not only directly improving my personal physical fitness but also directly data-logging the exchanged skills."
