Chapter 69 What is talent?
"Hey, Sid, can you teach me?" Alexia asked.

"Of course not." Li De replied with a blank look.

"I will give you enough compensation." Alexia did not give up because of Li De's answer. After all, if Li De really agreed easily, she would feel a little uneasy.

"Alexia, this time it's not about money. Although knowledge can be exchanged for money, it doesn't mean that money can buy knowledge. At least I think this transaction is unfair." Li De shook his head and said.

"Side, what do you want? I will agree to anything I can do." When Alexia heard Reed say this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Alexia, you are wrong!" Li De did not answer, but said this.

"Sid, what's wrong?" Alexia didn't quite understand what Reed meant.

"It's not about what I want, it's about what you are willing to pay to become stronger. You have to take the initiative to let me see your awareness. This is a question of priority that cannot be confused." Li De looked at Alexia and said.

As for what Li De meant, Alexia understood.

Reed told her very clearly that it was not him who begged Alexia to learn, but Alexia who begged him to teach her.

"Sid, can't you be a little more considerate of me?" Alexia said, tightening her arms across her chest.

"Don't try to play tricks like that on me." Li De would not give in. After all, this involved a question of initiative, and this was something Li De must make Alexia remember.

"I'll think about it carefully and get back to you." Alexia said helplessly after hearing that.

"That's great!" Li De nodded when he heard this.

"But if you are satisfied, you must teach me that move." Alexia added.

"Which move? Oh, are you talking about the step of going around behind Geno?" Li De was stunned for a moment, then he understood which move left a deep impression on Alexia.

"Yes, that's the pace." Alexia nodded.

After all, that kind of step of instantly going behind the enemy is really deadly. In Alexia's opinion, this trick should be regarded as a trump card.

"Hahahahaha!" Seeing Alexia's humane expression, Li De couldn't help but laugh.

"Sid, is there anything so funny?" Alexia didn't quite understand why Reed was laughing.

"Alexia, that was actually a simple detour. The reason you thought it was amazing was because the speed was so fast. It's actually a technique of using magic, and it's not as mysterious or powerful as you think." Li De explained slowly.

"Is that so?" Alexia couldn't help but frown when she heard that.

"Of course, but the same magic application skills will have completely different effects when used by different people. And this involves a word, that is, talent." Li De nodded, and then said very seriously.

"Talent." Alexia was somewhat sensitive to this word.

"Don't take it too seriously. Although the outside world has always praised your sister Alice as a genius, in my opinion, she has no other talents except her powerful magic power." Li De said slowly.

"No other talents? How is that possible?!" Alexia's voice rose a few notches at this moment. "Really, the outside world's evaluation of genius is too unprofessional. In my opinion, whether a magic swordsman has talent should be judged from three aspects." Li De smiled and said.

"Sid, what are the three aspects?" Alexia asked quickly.

"The first is the swordsman's talent for understanding swordsmanship. In other words, for the same swordsmanship skills, there is a huge difference between a talented person and a non-talented person. And this gap can even lead to a direct crushing of two people with the same magic power. I feel that your sister Alice's swordsmanship is not as solid as yours. The power of her swordsmanship relies on magic power, so she is not a talented person."

After listening to Reed's words, Alexia frowned, because Reed's words did not convince her.

Moreover, her sister Alice has always been the object of her admiration. She is not disappointed that her strength is not as good as Reed. After all, in her opinion, Sid is an unreasonable monster.

Comparing your sister to this monster is unfair to your sister.

But when Li De said his sister had no talent, she found it a little hard to accept.

"It seems that I haven't explained it clearly. Let me just give you an example." Li De saw Alexia's expression and knew what she was thinking at the moment.

Without saying a word, Alexia looked up at Li De, her eyes seemed to say: I'm listening.

"Under the same circumstances, without the use of magic power, and with swords of the same quality, a person with a talent for swordsmanship can use his sword to cut off the opponent's sword, while his own sword will not be damaged at all."

After Reed finished speaking, Alexia couldn't help but look at Reed with her eyes wide open.

"Can anyone really do it?" If Reed hadn't shown his monstrous strength in front of her, Alexia would have thought that Reed was bragging.

"Of course, everything has its own breath. Listen to this breath, then swing your sword to cut off this breath. After you experience this mysterious feeling, the sword can cut through everything!" Li De started fooling around again.

"Everything breathes, and the sword can cut everything when it passes through it." Alexia was obviously attracted by this sentence.

"Don't think too much. This is a realm that only talented people can comprehend and reach. People without talent can only treat it as a joke or a legend." Li De said immediately.

"Sid, can you do it?" Alexia asked Reed.

"Not yet, but I feel like I'm almost there. I don't know how long it will take, but before graduation, I think I should be able to reach the level of a swordsman." Li De said after touching his chin.

"Swordsman? Sid, why have I never heard of this term?" Alexia asked.

"Of course you don't know. I heard this word from the mouth of a demon dragon." Li De said slowly.

"Magic dragon?" Alexia was shocked again.

"I remember when I was five or six years old, my sister Claire took me into the forest for the first time and said we were going to wipe out bandits. We actually encountered a gang of bandits in the forest. In fact, before I encountered the bandits, I didn't know how powerful I was, but when Claire stood in front of me and was knocked unconscious, I picked up Claire's sword and easily killed all the bandits."
