Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

But...recently, his originally unchanging sword practice began to change.

Mainly reflected in————

"I say, weren't you a little too impatient in the last few paragraphs? Even the landing point of the swing was a little off."

Zuojian sat on the wall of the courtyard, swinging his legs casually.

Suddenly, hash marks began to appear on Tracy's forehead from time to time.

This guy has been staying here ever since he rescued them outside. It has been almost half a month now.

...No, it can't be considered as staying here. It should be that his sister took the initiative to let him stay here after learning that he had no place to live temporarily...

Damn it! That's not the point. To be honest, he is not a particularly petty person. He doesn't have any big problems with this strange man who saved them...

The point is that this guy always disappears from time to time, and then pops up from time to time! And he always appears when I am practicing swordsmanship! And he always says a few words to me from time to time...

The point is that almost everything he said was correct! But every time Tracys wanted to ask him more questions, he would deal with it by saying that he "didn't know swordsmanship at all, and was just a layman saying a few random words."

In that case, then don't just stand there and give pointers from the beginning!

"You guy! Since that's the case, let me see what the right thing to do is!" Tracys finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw the wooden stick beside him, watching Zuo Jian casually raise his hand to catch it.

"You'll definitely try to get away with it by saying you don't know swordsmanship or something like that! That means you look down on me—"

"Okay."

However, to Tracy's surprise, Zuo Jian agreed so casually.

"Are you not going to hide anymore?"

The former narrowed his eyes and stared at the man whose strength was a mystery.

"Tracy, I'm not a person who likes to lie. Like I told you before, you won't learn anything from me sparring with you, because in the end it's just pure power crushing."

"I do lack the necessary knowledge of martial arts such as swordsmanship."

"Then why now——"

Zuo Jian smiled, then took out a string of jingling metal clusters from his arms, which flashed a strange cold light in the sunlight.

When Tracy squinted his eyes and saw clearly what the metal object was, he was stunned where he stood.

Nameplates, mercenary nameplates, or what are called dog tags in their business, are now being held in handfuls in Zuo Jian's hands.

"Because I have also learned a lot of sword skills in the past few days." Zuo Jian smiled bitterly, then looked at the faint bloodstains on the nameplate.

To be honest, he originally had no interest in the various techniques applicable to the human body... after all, he didn't need to use such things most of the time.

But when he saw Tracy swinging the wooden stick every day until his linen clothes were soaked with sweat, Zuo Jian changed his mind.

This technique certainly didn't work for him....

But...it's been a long time...he just had this little desire.

Perhaps this posture is too similar to that of a normal human. Apart from the higher physical strength and the absence of a heartbeat, there is almost no difference.

To the extent that...his thinking gradually stopped having the instinct of "efficiency" as before, and instead became...more temperamental from time to time.

For example, a reliable adult male like him couldn't help but imagine himself walking around with a sword...

Ha, I'm obviously not a child anymore, but I still have such thoughts... Is this the rebound after not experiencing the pure human posture for too long?

Although it is just a consciousness.

However, there is actually another key point.

Zuo Jian threw the nameplates on the ground, then looked at Tracy with a smile.

The latter swung the sword very hard, but he could feel that his progress did not seem to be very great. It was obvious that the other party was not a gifted chosen one, and all he could do was to continue to accumulate his sweat.

Maybe one day, relying on persistence and perseverance, he will be able to achieve considerable success... But Zuo Jian still couldn't bear to watch it.

He should have made greater progress, but he didn't have a qualified teacher to guide him.

So, Zuo Jian wanted to see if he could help the other party.

Even if this only happened in the world of memory, it was like a dream-like experience.

"You... recently people say that the routes for transporting goods have become much more stable, and there are fewer mercenaries wandering around outside... Is this all your doing?"

"I just solved it while I was outside collecting intelligence. At the same time, I also learned a lot from them."

Zuo Jian weighed the wooden stick and then spoke with some regret.

He initially tried to find clues about the so-called souls from the mercenaries, but it was obvious that he gained little.

But the good news is...he learned a lot from those mercenaries.

Should we say he is a genius, or is he just relying on the sheer numerical power of this body to crush others? In short, he felt that in his current state, he was almost qualified to be a sparring partner for Tracys.

"Okay, come over here, Tracys, let me see your level."

"Tsk, then don't let it go."

The young and energetic Sarkaz boy clenched the wooden stick and stared at this man who was hard to understand and guess.

Faced with Tracy's momentum, Zuo Jian just smiled without saying a word, then raised the wooden stick and waited for the opponent's attack.

Soon, along with the boy's roar, the courtyard was suddenly filled with the dull sound of beatings.

........

boom!

.......

boom!

"damn it!"

Tracys gasped and stared at Zuo Jian who was doing it with ease. His hands were waving almost without stopping for a moment, but in the other's eyes it was as easy as pushing away the hands of a playing child.

All prevented?

Didn't even move a step?

"You are too impatient, Tracy." Zuo Jian said while blocking.

"I have met quite a few mercenaries recently, and there should be many experienced ones among them. Do you know what the biggest difference between you and them is?"

Something seemed to flash in Zuojian's eyes, and he spoke to Tracys.

"You seem to be eager to succeed with every strike. If one strike fails, you will make up for it with the next one..."

"Honestly, I don't dislike aggressive and hot-tempered guys...but..."

Tracy was stunned, then he watched Zuo Jian block his attack, then suddenly exerted force, and moved forward, with the wooden stick brushing against his side and directly hitting his neck.

"Being impulsive and hot-blooded is not a bad thing, but it is not a good thing for you. Don't forget that you are not only a swordsman Sarkaz, but also a brother."

“No matter what the time is, be aware that…”

Zuo Jian took away the wooden stick that was against his neck, but the next moment, he swung it at him again at an even faster speed!

But at this moment...

Tracy felt that the surroundings seemed to slow down again. He looked at Zuo Jian's attack towards him and felt that the opponent's chest was almost completely flawed...

Strike first before his attack arrives!

Just as he was thinking this, Zuo Jian's voice sounded again.

"If you can't stay calm and take responsibility, your sister will do it for you."

"Do you want your sister to bear the consequences of your impulsive behavior?"

? ! ! !

In an instant, Tracy seemed to remember something. He gritted his teeth and retracted his attacking posture, pretending to be defensive and protecting his neck tightly.

boom! !

My arms were numb from the shock, but... I blocked it...

"That was good. At least you stopped it for a while. It seems like you did listen to me."

Zuo Jian took back the stick and looked at Tracy with some happiness.

"Stop... for a moment?"

Tracy just looked at Zuo Jian in confusion, and then following the direction of the latter's finger, he glanced at the side that he had not protected.

Only a few pieces of fallen wood chips could be vaguely seen in the neck and shoulder areas.

?

He raised his head again and glanced at the stick in his left hand.

Could it be that...

Just now...did he slash in two directions in succession?

Why...why didn't he react at all to the first blow? !

At this moment, Tracy realized that there was a deep footprint left on the yellow soil where Zuo Jian exerted his strength...

"But... you are much more powerful than I thought. I thought you were completely unable to react." Before Tracys could be surprised for long, Zuo Jian walked up to the young man and rubbed his head.

What he said was true, he didn't even expect that Tracys could actually stop him once.

In this case, does it mean that he is actually a genius who is buried by the surrounding environment?

........

But he still failed to protect his sister.

"Tracys."

"What's wrong."

"I will help Theresa, don't worry."

"What do you mean?" Tracy was stunned, as if he didn't understand what the man was talking about.

"Brother! The door at home is broken. Do you know where the tools are?"

At this moment, in the small and simple house, Theresa poked her little pink head out from behind the window and looked at the two people in the yard.

“…”

"Of course I'm helping your sister fix the door! As an elder brother, you only know how to practice sword skills, but even the broken door has to be fixed by your sister. It's so embarrassing for you, Tracy~" Zuo Jian suddenly showed a relieved smile, then scratched Tracy's head heavily.

Pick up

Then he came to Theresa's side, ready to help her fix the door.

"Hey! I just..."

Tracy stood there, unable to think of any rebuttal for a moment...

'Calm down, Tracy.'

Zuo Jian’s words seemed to echo in his ears again.

Damn...bad things always happen one after another

I have to take another day off today and make it up tomorrow.

tnnd, it’s okay that my thoughts have been a bit stuck recently.

My fucking Ark was stolen.

It is really difficult to log in to the B server. Once I went online, I found that I had to log in again. After logging in with my mobile phone number, I found that it had become a new number.

Damn, how did they do this? My Bilibili account doesn’t even have real-name authentication. How did they change it without my knowledge?

I am appealing now...Should I say thank you for giving me a lot of money before? I should be able to get it back by relying on my krypton gold record...Probably...

Chapter 30: Brother and Sister (Part 2)

"Zuojian, you're back."

He walked into the shabby little house where the brother and sister lived, and looked at Theresa who was squatting beside a shabby wooden door in the corridor, hammering on the connecting parts.

Zuo Jian stepped forward and took the rusty repair tools from Theresa's hand, then began to check the loose parts of the door frame.

"Well, today's matter was resolved quickly, so I came back early. Why, don't you need to help the guests mend their clothes?"
