13. Swordsmanship instruction
"Hey! Boy, do you feel uncomfortable with the little girl? β
On the way, Boss Bai asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huh? No? How? "I'm weird.
"None? Blame...... Maybe the old man is too carefulβyou take this. Boss Bai handed me a small medicine bottle, "Take one pill when you feel unwellβthe old man is worried about demon poison." β
"Demon poison?"
"Well, demon poison is what we say in the East, and I don't know if you have an old man in the West - there are too few examples of you Westerners living peacefully with demons. In our East, if a demon wants to be with a human being, he must avoid the demon poison in his body from leaking out and harming people - the little girl is too shallow, and she is a mixed-race child, the old man doesn't think she understands this, maybe she doesn't even know whether she has demon poison. β
ββ¦β¦β
"But the old man doesn't know, after all, there is still a gap between the East and the West - if you feel uncomfortable with her, then the medicine in the bottle is enough to support you for two years - remember to come to the East to find the old man when the time comes. Yes! Maybe not, in a few days, our Oriental ship docked at the port, and the old man went to see if the materials could be gathered, and it would be easy to refine them directly for you to prepare. β
"Well, thank you, and- please don't tell Ruthya."
"Nonsense! Why do you think the old man let her stay in the room? Butβ" Boss Bai smiled, "It's nice to be a kid who doesn't worry about herself but worries about her after knowing the demon poison." β
"Aren't you still sure if there is?" I scratched my head in embarrassment.
"This is too, I hope the old man is too worried. - Okay, here it is! β
During the conversation, Boss Bai and I came to a clearing, and Boss Bai broke a branch from a tree on the side of the road.
"The old man still doesn't know what he can teach you," Boss Bai raised the branch in his hand at me, "You attack with all your strength first, and let the old man see your foundation." β
"--Are you going to fight me with a branch?" I couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "You despise me too much, so I-!" What the! β
I froze again in shock.
"What are you doing with all this nonsense?" Boss Bai laughed and pulled back the branch that was in my throat, "No matter what you have done before, you will always be a doll in the eyes of the old man." β
It's me who looks light. I sighed and slowly raised my sword to my chest.
All-out attack? The sword that just hit my throat was like a finger stuck in my throat in the room, I didn't notice anything, Boss Bai's swordsmanship was so high.
Winning is impossible, I gritted my teeth - then let him see all I am capable of - on!
At the beginning of "Meteor Sword * Rush", I used the sword skills of the regiment leader, and I hit five times in a row.
"Smack!" The branch struck my wrist, and a sharp pain came, and I could no longer hold the sword in my hand.
"Your name is Meteor Sword? Kindness? There is no fighting spirit at all! Boss Bai said angrily, "If you don't want to learn, get out!" Far from Ruthia! β
"I'm sorry." I blushed and picked up my sword.
"Calm down! You should have been on the battlefield, and you wielded your sword like this on the battlefield? β
Battlefield? I closed my eyes and remembered the smoke of the battlefield and the screams of killing.
Gradually, there was silence all around, and there was only my enemy in sight. And -- a burning sensation in the chest.
"Alright," I opened, clenched my sword, and rushed forward.
First stabbed him in the left chest with his sword, as I expected, the white boss dodged to the right, but he dodged very little, so that my sword only brushed against his chest, and with the momentum of the dodge, he slid to my left shoulder, and I hurriedly swung a semicircle to force him back.
"Well, it's really going to be here!" Boss Bai nodded in satisfaction and stretched out a branch.
It was fast, but still within my reach, and I swung my sword to block, but the branches supple against my sword grabbed my range, forcing me back a big step.
Boss Bai maintained a sword posture and smiled at me.
Provocation?
ββ¦β¦ Hum! I snorted and rubbed myself up again.
In terms of ability, Boss Bai is an opponent I can't defeat in my life, I tried my best to speed but still under his control, I wanted to use the gap in weapons to break his defenses, but I found that every time I slashed his branches, he could easily draw a small arc like a stream when my sword was about to touch, and then there was a round of rush that forced me to either take a few steps back or take a few hits, and the branches often hit my sword waist and knock my thrusts away.
Gradually, my range of movement is getting bigger and bigger, and the short close encounters are almost completely unable to allow me to recover the disadvantage of the attack, I have to use the impact of retreating and then attacking to increase the pressure of my attack, the speed of swinging the sword is no longer enough for me to think about, many times I have been attacking and defending with subconscious instinct, after a successful backward jump, I once again used the sword technique Meteor Sword * Sudden five consecutive stabs, forcing the white boss to take half a step back, and then I used the Meteor Sword * to break three consecutive horizontal slashes, Boss Bai's retreat direction as I expected just made me use the killer sword at the end - Meteor Sword * Illness -
Boss White grabbed the sword I threw out with just two fingers.
"......" maintained the posture of throwing the sword out, and I stared blankly ahead. Not because I lost, butβ
How is this possible, I have practiced for a long time that the Meteor Sword Triple Kill Kill Row can't be used so smoothly, and the feeling of swinging the sword this time is so enjoyable.
ββHow did I do it?
Boss Bai laughed and shoved the sword back into my hand, "Do you want to try again?" β
I shook my head, feeling like I was feeling something, but I couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be...... Velocity? After thinking for a while, I asked suspiciously.
"Yes, that's good." Boss Bai nodded approvingly, "Go back." β
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
"Ahh Les! You're hurt?! Seeing us open the door, Rusya hurriedly stepped forward.
"It's only been swept by a branch a few times, this kid has thick skin," Boss Bai sat down at the table, "Yo! I also know how to make tea and wait for us, the little girl is very virtuous. β
"Okay, it's okay," looking at Rusya's distressed expression, I couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, "It's just a little bit of skin, help me later-"
"Come here!" Boss Bai said angrily, "Flirting and scolding will be done when the old man is gone!" β
"Yes!" I stuck my tongue out at Rusya and hurried to the table.
"Boy, you have a good foundation, but it's a pity that the teacher you met was a bastard." Boss Bai took a sip of tea and said, "The person who taught you only knows sword moves, but the sword theory is not understandable!" β
I frowned, but didn't refute. On the one hand, Sakura really only taught me swordsmanship, and rarely talked to me about swordsmanship (largely because we were too young to understand it)...... Bad things about Sakura really make me sound harsh.
"You still fight a lot when you practice basic swordsmanship, and then someone occasionally instructs you on actual combat skills, right?"
βοΌ Can you see this? "I was surprised.
It's true that the head of the regiment always instructs us after watching me and Sakura fight - but even this shows that Boss Bai is too outrageous, right?
"Hehe, if the old man can't even see this, don't mix the rivers and lakes for decades - the rivers and lakes are the saying of the East, don't care!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Boy, you're like a tree, pruning, fertilizing, and everything is wrong in the wrong direction, these are nothing, but then you have accumulated too much practical experience, and you don't even know what fruit you will bear! Oh - it's a pity! β
"Reista...... It's not that serious, is it? Rusya timidly tried to defend me.
Boss Bai glared: "Don't say good things for him!" - Boy, your practice of Pandey is about thrust power, precision and speed, you know? - Yes, that's good. Originally, Pandey's swordsmanship was the most suitable for one-on-one combat, but after you learned it, you always fell into one-to-many actual combat, this old man is not wrong, right? β
I nodded.
"Premature combat makes you rely too much on experience, but rarely think, you give up the spapier that is the most suitable for Pandey to build a sword and pick up the middle sword - indeed, in terms of defensive and destructive power, the middle sword is indeed better than the rapier, and is more suitable for use in melee - but with the middle sword, you lose the most important thing in one-on-one combat-"
"Speed?"
"Well, the weight and volume of the middle sword limit your speed, if it is compared to ordinary swordsmen, you can't see it, if it is a master duel - the slight difference is enough to kill you!"
"That's not right! If that's the case, why did I justβ" I wondered, "how could I have used my nirvana just now?" β
"Not bad!" Boss Bai nodded approvingly, "So it's too early for you to participate in the actual battle - when did you switch to the middle sword?" β
"Two years ago."
"Two years...... Hmph, it's enough to bind yourself, long-term combat experience has set your fighting habits and speed, in fact, the past few years are in the development stage of your body, and the enhancement of strength has allowed you to use faster and stronger swordsmanship for a long time, but your continuous actual combat tells you that it is enough to maintain that speed and strength - but when you practice, you still use the fast and accurate swordsmanship as the goal to practice with the middle sword in a regular manner - you shouldn't have noticed it just now, I have been deliberately speeding up the attack speed during the battle, and you can still keep upAnd in the end, you'll be at least twice as fast as you started with! β
"How is that possible?! I feel a little faster, but not that much, right?! β
"Believe in yourself," Boss Bai squinted at me, "I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky, according to the way you wield your sword now, the old man really doesn't have much swordsmanship to teach youβbut he can give you good advice." β
"With the rapille?"
"Fart!"
"You can't use a heavy sword, can you?" I was a little annoyed, "Wouldn't that affect the speed even more?" β
"You think you're not fast now because of the weight of your sword? Then you will never be able to use a triple attack with a middle sword! Stupid death! ββYou don't use the middle sword because you often use your power unnaturally to control the accuracy and stability of the sword! β
βοΌβ
"Why are you starting to get stupid now? What the old man means is that you unconsciously use a lot of power to prevent your sword from being too fast and too strong!! β
βοΌ Yes! I see! Soβ"
"Yes! The epee that is least suitable for Pandey to build swordsmanship is the most suitable weapon for you right now! β
