I’ll finish these matters today as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao found a restaurant run by a Worker and ate his fill for just three Paradise Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food tasted good, and the Worker owner was extremely warm-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that warmth, it was clear Workers struggled to survive within the Lunhui Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, Su Xiao searched the stalls lining the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquiring daily necessities like furniture wasn’t hard—a Worker had once invented a compression capsule that shrunk all kinds of furniture to the size of a fingertip, making them incredibly portable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying 200 Paradise Coins, Su Xiao purchased all the furniture he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With lodging and meals settled, Su Xiao headed straight for the Lunhui Paradise’s central zone, arriving before the [Training Ground].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had two days left in the Lunhui Paradise, and within those two days, he had to adapt to his suddenly strengthened body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome, Hunter. Use the Training Ground. Please select a mode.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Assist Mode \u002F Combat Mode】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao hesitated briefly, then selected Assist Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Assist Mode selected. Please choose the Mirror’s level.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three options appeared before Su Xiao: Low-Level Mirror, Mid-Level Mirror, High-Level Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below each option was a price: Low-Level Mirror cost 100 Paradise Coins per hour, Mid-Level Mirror cost 1,000 per hour, High-Level Mirror cost 10,000 per hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some hesitation, Su Xiao chose the Mid-Level Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had observed for a long time within the Lunhui Paradise; most gear sold by Contracted Ones was white-grade and had very low ratings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only green-grade firearm he’d seen was priced at 4,000 Paradise Coins—and was fiercely sought after by many Contracted Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even that green-grade gear’s stats couldn’t match those of Su Xiao’s Zhan Long Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contracted Ones might sell good items, but they were rare and required luck to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to buying gear, Su Xiao preferred improving his own strength—true power came from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying 1,000 Paradise Coins to summon one hour of a Mid-Level Mirror, a milky-white glow appeared before him; when it faded, a middle-aged man stood there, wielding a blade and dressed in a white training uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding scenery shifted into a sword dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mirror summoned: Koushirou, from the Pirate World.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Lunhui Paradise’s prompt, Su Xiao felt a quiet surge of delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know Koushirou’s strength, but if it came to teaching ability, Koushirou was undoubtedly exceptional—Zoro was living proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou never taught Zoro any specific techniques, yet he laid the foundational strength that made Zoro a true warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Koushirou. Time is short—let’s begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou’s demeanor was natural—he wasn’t the real Koushirou, merely a mirror image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou glanced at Su Xiao’s Zhan Long Shan and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A weapon similar to mine? Then this will be simple—strike at me with all your might.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao didn’t waste words; the 1,000 Paradise Coins per hour cost stung, so he slashed at Koushirou with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current stats, this strike was swift and fierce, its angle sharp and precise—aimed directly at Koushirou’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What stunned Su Xiao happened next: Koushirou didn’t even draw his weapon—only raised the scabbard to block, then shifted its angle slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao felt his blade slip uncontrollably to the side; overextended by the force, he stumbled two steps backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attack had been so easily neutralized. Su Xiao felt frustrated, but helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reality he came from and Koushirou’s Pirate World existed on entirely different levels of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword skills he’d trained for years in his world meant nothing to Koushirou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps superior sword techniques existed in his world, but rapid technological advancement had rendered them obsolete—most had vanished into obscurity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Your understanding of swordsmanship is lower than I imagined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou’s “swordsmanship” was, in fact, sword technique—just a different term for the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was filled with defeat. His years of disciplined training meant nothing in others’ eyes—and he had no rebuttal; compared to Koushirou, he truly was inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being weaker isn’t shameful—only failing to catch up is. Being weaker yet stubbornly denying it is the true shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should I do? Practice fundamentals?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao slashed randomly a few times; white streaks flashed through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Your fundamentals are excellent—far better than most. Few are willing to spend years practicing simple, grueling chopping motions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Answer me this: How do you view the weapon in your hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou sat cross-legged on the floor, dressed in white training garb, smiling at Su Xiao; with his glasses perched on his nose, he radiated gentleness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do I view my weapon? Hmm… a tool for killing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s answer made Koushirou shake his head repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you cling to that mindset, even after a hundred years of brutal training, you’ll only be swinging a stick—you won’t have achieved swordsmanship at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao looked at his Zhan Long Shan and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perceive your weapon. Make it an extension of your own body. If you can’t even do that, I can’t teach you anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou’s words darkened Su Xiao’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d spent 1,000 Paradise Coins to summon Koushirou—and now the man told him to figure it out himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao immediately contacted the Lunhui Paradise, wanting to pause training until he felt the blade properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Lunhui Paradise replied: training could not be paused. He could leave the [Training Ground] now, but the Paradise Coins spent would not be refunded, and Koushirou would vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, placed Zhan Long Shan on his knees, and began to perceive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t imagine your weapon in your mind—perceive it. Feel its sharpness, its weight, its unique presence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou wasn’t summoned in vain; as Su Xiao perceived his weapon, Koushirou offered detailed guidance, imparting insights to Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These insights were only ever passed on to disciples Koushirou deemed worthy—like Zoro. Now, as a summoned mirror, Koushirou shared this precious knowledge with Su Xiao without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed. After half an hour, Su Xiao faintly sensed the Zhan Long Shan resting on his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, he drew Zhan Long Shan and slashed—the air hissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koushirou nodded in approval and continued guiding Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour passed. Koushirou dissolved into the air, but Su Xiao remained seated, occasionally slashing once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a door slowly opening before him. His prior sword training had been nothing but swinging sticks—beyond mastering basic stances, it held little true value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing, sheathing—he was lost in his own world, unaware Koushirou had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact he’d persisted in practicing the same chopping motion for three years revealed his obsession with swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes: one thought can reach the divine. Su Xiao’s three years of relentless practice, now guided by Koushirou, began to ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>",1210,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9ab5147b9312a04ff34b045132b3ae65b857bc5af4c7ff9c20b5dc30c484c70f","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-28","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-26",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
