Chapter 9 Take the initiative
If the opponent is a junior warrior, he will inevitably be killed by Lear's continuous attacks, but the sword puppet has the strength of the sword master, and he took three steps back, and fought back with a counterattack sword technique ten times more subtle than Lear, and even forced Lear to take four or five steps back.
After the sword golem gained the upper hand, it stopped attacking with a false sword, and attacked again a second later.
Lear had a chance to breathe, and his spirits perked up, and he fought the sword puppet again.
Unlike the last time he was embarrassed to block with all his might, Lear, who had mastered the technique of countering swordsmanship, was extremely ferocious, because he knew that he would not die, and repeatedly took risks to fight back, although he was injured by the sword puppet seven or eight times out of ten and lost, he still did not repent.
After yesterday's defensive training, he knew one thing very well: once he had the idea of defending first and then attacking, he would inevitably withstand the enemy's continuous and uninterrupted attacks. If the gap between the two sides is too big, the so-called learning from the turtle defense and then finding out the enemy's flaws may not exist at all - since they have the ability to press themselves to fight, then the other party must be strong enough, even if there are flaws, they may not be able to crack them.
Instead of being cornered and struggling for your life, it is better to use all your strength to attack at the beginning!
"Unless the opponent has the strength that I absolutely cannot defeat, I must fight back with all my might, not just defense. ”
With this belief of never retreating, he trained in the Sword Heaven and Earth, and fully exerted the essence of counter-swordsmanship. And once he successfully counterattacks, the sword puppet will inevitably deliberately avoid it, so he will use hand swordsmanship and strike fencing, so that defense, counterattack and attack are coherent and form a whole.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The resentment after the crossing, the pressure of survival, the nostalgia for family and friends, and the confusion about the future all burst out at this moment, all of which turned into the motivation for his attack, and he frantically attacked the sword puppet.
As soon as the three hours passed, the sword puppet suddenly changed, no longer holding back, but attacking with all its strength as it did yesterday.
Lear failed to adapt to the sword puppet's **-like blows, dying in succession.
Because of the concept of defending and counterattacking, he was more likely to die at first than he was yesterday when he was purely defensive, but after ten minutes, the situation changed.
Slowly, the interval between his deaths lengthened. From the first counterattack to death, to the last ten times, two counterattacks can be completed and pursued.
Before leaving the Sword World, he had been able to fight against the sword puppet for more than 25 seconds, and his best result was to delay the time of death to 30 seconds.
Not to mention the junior warrior, not to mention the junior swordsman who has mastered the fighting spirit, even the great swordsman cannot hold on in front of the sword master for 30 seconds, even if the sword master only uses basic swordsmanship.
Early the next morning, Lear went to Catherine with great interest and went to the place where she had practiced her sword last night. He didn't notice that the weight on his body had increased by another tenth.
Walking on the road, Catherine saw that his mood was very high, thinking that he was too proud, and said: "Don't be proud to think that you are a genius, there are more people in the Starry Sky Continent than the stars in the sky, and the number of geniuses is more than the people you have seen, but most geniuses are overshadowed by those ordinary but hard-working strong people because of pride." You're not even a junior warrior, so what do you have to be proud of?"
Lear Lian said that the teacher taught that the disciples accepted criticism, but they were thinking in their hearts that if they didn't kill those enemies to avenge poor Charlie and resolve the existential crisis, how could they dare to be proud.
Catherine doesn't think Lear has mastered the intricacies of counter-attacking swordsmanship, so she still trains with him as she did yesterday.
Lear first used the starting hand sword technique and the strike sword attack, and after a few moves, Catherine immediately used the counter sword technique, and then, the attack suppression. After gaining the advantage, slow down the attack and let Lear use counter-sword skills.
At first, it was nothing, but after the two of them fought back and forth more than a dozen times, Catherine found herself struggling more and more.
"This guy is such a terrifying genius, he has changed so much in just one night, it's like practicing for years. The most important thing is that his eyes are completely different from three days ago, and he actually has an aura that only a warrior who has experienced life and death fighting. ”
Catherine has always controlled her strength and speed at the same level as Lear, and at first the counterattack swordsmanship was completely successful, and quickly suppressed, but later although the counterattack swordsmanship was successful, the follow-up attacks could not suppress Lear at all, and he was often quickly counterattacked. In the end, she fails to even fight back, is cracked by Lear, and gets hit.
Although the practice sword did not have a blade, it still hurt to be hit.
Lear studied under a Sword Puppet of the Sword Master, and as long as the opponent's movements could be captured by his eyes and his body could perform the corresponding sword skills, he would have a good chance of defeating the opponent.
"It can't go on like this. "Catherine secretly increased her strength and speed, to the level of an intermediate warrior.
Lear immediately fell to the downwind. This is not the Sword World, it is difficult for him to catch the opponent's movements, and Catherine's attack is basically complete until he can find an effective way to counterattack, and even if he can make effective judgments, his body cannot keep up with the rhythm of the opponent.
After continuously suppressing Lear, the corners of Catherine's mouth turned up slightly, and she suddenly realized that teaching her disciples was actually a very pleasant thing.
"It's a good feeling to easily suppress a genius disciple......
Lear didn't realize the mentality of the unscrupulous sword teacher in front of him, and still fought seriously.
Towards breakfast, Catherine snatched the practice sword from Lear in a playful manner using her very advanced sword-grabbing technique, and said, "Go back to dinner." ”
After returning to the camp, the Firelight Mercenaries began to eat breakfast.
Most of the people around Cruise glanced at Lear from time to time, and Lear sensed the abnormality in the eyes of those people.
"Catherine said that the red-haired Russo might challenge me today. Obviously, it was Catherine, the head of the regiment, who sheltered me, and these people didn't have the slightest scruples, it seems that she, the head of the regiment, is not stable. Lear stole another glance at a bald man in the camp.
That bald middle-aged man is the other deputy leader of the Flame Mercenary Group, Elder Thorn, who founded the Fire Mercenary Group with Catherine's father and Cruise's father, and is currently the only founder of the Mercenary Group.
After many days of observation, Lear has seen that there are three factions of the Flare Mercenary Regiment, led by Catherine, Cruise, and Old Thorn.
Cruise is a powerful high-ranking warrior who has co-opted more than a dozen people with his own strength and the influence of his deceased father. He has been courting Catherine, but has been rejected, so several conflicts have broken out, and he has a love-hate relationship with Catherine. His methods are very ruthless, and his subordinates are all outlaws, and he is the most combat-effective small group in the Flamelight Mercenary Regiment.
Catherine is the head of the regiment, and many of the members have received her father's favor, so there are the most people who belong to her, but the strength is uneven.
Old Sanker is the weakest group, but after all, he is one of the founders of the Firelight Mercenary Group, and has been a mercenary for nearly forty years, with rich experience and a wide range of contacts, and is very respected in the mercenary group. He had long seen that the contradictions between Cruise and Catherine were getting deeper and deeper, but he remained neutral and cunning, so that both sides had to win him over.
After breakfast, when the crowd dispersed, Catherine whispered to Lear, "Russo will challenge you before dinner, and you should be ready." ”
Lear frowned and whispered, "Vicious enough!"
His body is very poor compared to that of mercenaries, and every time he walks for a day, his whole body seems to fall apart, and he has to rest for a while to have strength. If Russo had challenged him at that time, he would have been defeated.
"I can't sit still! I'm going to take the initiative to challenge him now!" Lear stood up, a resolute look.
