Erni opened the trunk, took out the things inside, and finally took out two unsharpened odachis. This kind of thing was specially sold to people who like Japanese samurai, and the price, naturally, was very "beautiful."
"Cyan, did you buy two samurai swords to practice swordsmanship?" Erni weighed the rather heavy odachi in her hands.
Cyan picked up an odachi and drew it from its scabbard. Under the sunlight, the sharp silver-white blade gleamed with a cold light, and the patterns on the blade looked like fish scales.
Cyan gently stroked the blade. Although it wasn't as handy as the Demon Blade, this sword made with modern craftsmanship wasn't bad either.
"Erni, do you want to learn the Infinite One-Sword Style?"
"Eh? Can I learn it? The next round of the survival game will start in a few days." Erni felt that it was impossible for her to learn the swordsmanship of the Infinite One-Sword Style in such a short time.
"It's just the most basic swordsmanship. You don't have any skills to protect yourself, and Ripple energy has limited damage to the human body. Your only choice is to learn sword techniques from me," Cyan said, handing the other odachi to Erni. "If you die in the survival game, I'll have a headache."
The moving words Erni was about to say were swallowed right back down because of Cyan's sentence. Does a normal person talk like this? Good grief, she really treats me like a human ATM!
"Okay, then I will trouble you."
Seeing that Cyan was going to teach Erni the Infinite One-Sword Style swordsmanship, Nishi asked, "Master, what about me? Can I learn too?"
"Don't you use a short sword?" Cyan glanced at Nishi, carrying the large and small bags of things, and walked towards the house.
"Who says you can't learn swordsmanship if you use a short sword!" Nishi puffed out her cheeks, carrying the things and following behind Cyan.
On the private beach, stepping on the soft and warm fine sand, Cyan held the odachi in the gripping posture of the Infinite One-Sword Style.
"Look closely, this is the swordsmanship of the Infinite One-Sword Style."
Cyan swung the odachi, demonstrating the swordsmanship of the Infinite One-Sword Style to Erni and Nishi, each move and stance connecting together like flowing clouds and flowing water. In order to let the two see clearly, Cyan deliberately slowed down her speed.
"The basic skills of swordsmanship are the most important, but there isn't that much time for you to practice them." Cyan pointed the odachi in her hand at Erni and said, "So, we will start with practical combat practice, which will let you learn how to use the weapon in your hand in real combat faster."
"Wait!" Seeing Cyan rushing over, Erni hurriedly raised her sword to block.
"I won't show mercy." Cyan looked at Erni with cold eyes and struck her abdomen with her elbow.
An hour later...
Nishi looked at the bruised and swollen Erni, looked at Cyan, and said cautiously, "Master, isn't this a bit too much?"
Nishi couldn't bear to watch what Erni went through during this hour. It was truly miserable; she was completely beaten up in all kinds of ways and was about to become a rolling gourd.
"The enemy won't give her a chance to live. Only the power held in one's own hands is one's own power." Sticking the odachi into the beach, Cyan looked at Erni, who could barely stand steadily, and said, "If you can't even do this, I suggest you stop practicing Ripple Qigong and become a vampire. That way, you can live longer."
"I haven't given up! You hateful devil coach!" Erni rushed at Cyan angrily. Golden lightning appeared on her limbs, and her speed suddenly increased!
By nightfall, Nishi helped Erni apply medicine, making the corners of her mouth twitch in pain.
"Ow! Can't you be gentler?"
The cold ointment was applied to her face, making Erni almost jump up from the pain. Even though she had self-healing abilities, she couldn't withstand Cyan's crazy ravaging. It was simply a one-sided beating! Assault! It was too much!
No way! I want to hit back!
The more Erni thought about it, the angrier she got, and she made up her mind that she must get revenge.
"I'm already being very gentle, otherwise apply the medicine yourself!" Nishi crossed her arms and glared at Erni. After watching for the whole afternoon, she had already given up on learning the Infinite One-Sword Style. Swordsmanship was for samurai to learn; a thief like her should just peacefully rely on speed and underhanded moves to win.
"Didn't you say you wanted to learn the Infinite One-Sword Style? Why don't you let Cyan train you?" Erni looked at Nishi, who was completely fine, feeling extremely depressed in her heart.
"Swordsmanship... I've already given up..." Nishi turned her head to the side; she wouldn't admit that she was frightened by Cyan.
"Tch! Coward." How could Erni not see that Nishi was frightened by Cyan?
"I'm staying at a friend's house tonight... What boyfriend! It's a female friend I hang out with! Mom! You're thinking too much!" Erni took some time to call her family, so they wouldn't worry.
Seven days later...
Ding!
The two odachis collided, sparks flying everywhere.
With a chang sound, one odachi was flicked into the air, and then Erni was kicked flying by Cyan. After falling to the ground, Erni quickly got up, picked up the odachi that had fallen to the ground, and rushed towards Cyan.
"Okay, rest for a bit." Cyan raised her sword to block Erni's attack.
After seven days of inhuman training, Erni could already trade a few moves with Cyan. However, due to the uniqueness of the Infinite One-Sword Style, even though she learned a few moves, she failed to learn the skill.
Not far away, Nishi, who was lying under a sun umbrella in a swimsuit, comfortably took off her sunglasses, looked at the two who had stopped, and waved, "You two must be tired from fighting, right? Do you want some juice?"
While adapting to life in this world, Nishi did not give up practicing Ripple Qigong and exercising her body. Although it was true that completing a round of the survival game would grant attribute points, continuous exercise could still increase one's own attributes.
Regarding the use of short swords, under Erni's recommendation, Nishi specially looked up military short sword combat arts on the internet. This concise short sword combat art, which combined the short sword with martial arts, was countlessly better than her randomly swinging the short sword. After all, she used to be a thief and couldn't get systematic training; how to use the short sword was entirely figured out by herself.
Cyan's training of Erni lasted for half a month. Fortunately, Erni had the special passive skill [Self-Healing], and the injuries on her body healed incredibly fast; otherwise, she would probably be lying in the intensive care unit of a hospital right now.
Although Cyan did not hit hard when training Erni, the power of those punches and kicks, even under her deliberate control, would probably break a few bones if an ordinary person took a hit. Only a girl like Erni, who had a self-healing capability several times higher than normal people, could withstand Cyan's devil training.
Having a rare moment of free time, Erni lay on her stomach on the sofa, playing a mini-game on her phone. Cyan sat to the side, staring intently at the laptop.
[Survivor No. 11766, please enter the survival space within 10 minutes to conduct the third round of the survival game.]
The survival imprint on her chest grew slightly warm. Cyan received the message sent by the survival imprint, closed the laptop, and stood up.
"I'm going to do the next round of the survival game."
"Eh? Why didn't I receive it?" Hearing Cyan's words, Erni put down her phone.
"I don't know. The rest time given by the survival space to survivors is different. Last time it was 22 days, this time it is 15 days."
"Come to think of it, the time we spend in the real world and the time in the survival space are different." Erni sat up, her massive chest stretching the Pikachu tank top tightly. "In my last round of missions, I stayed in the Underworld world for 6 days, but in the real world only half an hour passed. Moreover, when the first round of the survival game ended and I came back from the survival space, the place I appeared was in the restroom of that bar. The person who killed me has no memory of killing me, and even the people in the bar don't have that memory. It's as if the history of my death was erased by the survival space."
"The time in this world and the time in the survival space pass at different speeds." Cyan looked down at her hands and walked towards the kitchen, saying as she walked, "The deaths of survivors are erased. The survival space uses this simple and brutal method to let us return to this world. Otherwise, a person who is already dead suddenly resurrecting would cause a sensation, and the warning that the survival space prohibits survivors from leaking information about the survival space would become empty talk on paper."
Cyan walked into the kitchen and saw Nishi standing in front of the refrigerator, smacking her lips while eating something unknown.
"It's time to go."
"Oh..." Nishi's cheeks were puffed up like a hamster, and she smiled pleasingly, revealing the snacks in her mouth.
"Swallow it." Cyan tapped Nishi's forehead and closed the refrigerator.
Hearing Cyan's words, Nishi quickly chewed the snacks in her mouth and swallowed them.
"Master, let's go~!" Nishi picked up the phone placed to the side, took a glance, and hugged Cyan's arm.
Cyan focused her mind on the survival imprint. The feeling of being clubbed from behind came again. After the dizziness disappeared, the two returned to their private room.
She quickly put on her equipment and spent 200 survival points to repair the special effects of Jugemu's Goggles. After the repair, the goggles looked brand new.
After Cyan put on the Super Crown, Nishi couldn't quite handle her skyrocketing charm value, so she turned her head to look at the fish swimming around.
"?" Seeing Nishi's inexplicable action, Cyan tilted her head in confusion, exchanged for some easy-to-carry food, put it in a bag, and placed it in the inventory.
(Note: Ordinary food packed in a bag only occupies one inventory slot.)

"After the fall of the Roman Empire, a chaotic Dark Age descended. With the end of the empire, the entire Europe presented another completely different cultural landscape. Grand Duke Garibaldi rules the country with a powerful and evil state. Among the terrifying forces under his command, there are swords and magic, battle qi and machinery, as well as mysterious ninjutsu imported from Japan. At this time, three warriors, under the guidance of the sage Merlin, launched a full-scale offensive against the forces of the evil Grand Duke Garibaldi to liberate the innocent people!"
