Chapter 4: Sword Skills
"Now, you see there's an orange-yellow energy bar under your health bar, and that's your stamina." Bingyun crossed his hands and walked back and forth.
“emmmm… Physical strength, which can be improved by upgrading and training physical fitness, as long as you have stamina, you can even use sword skills continuously, however, continuous use of sword skills may greatly deplete your physical strength. ”
"Why?"
"Because it's not used correctly."
"Wrong usage?"
"That's right, if you use your sword skills indiscriminately, you look like a mindless and reckless man, swinging a kitchen knife around, so that not only will you not be able to cut people but also consume your physical strength. In fact, as long as you make adjustments, sword skills and sword skills can be connected, and this is a combination of sword skills. ”
"Combined sword skills?"
"Yes, as long as you connect well enough, you don't even need to consume much physical strength, which is the charm of the swordsman profession."
"Then master, without further ado, let's get started."
"What about you, Xiaochun? Do you want to practice too? ”
"Why don't I practice these fights and kills?"
"Yes, girl, that little talk, let's start."
"Yes, master." Although it is a remote place, Xiao Yan and Bingyun are still seen by some people when they practice here.
At a mahogany lacquered desk, a guard is reporting to his superior.
"Oh, is it? Bingyun took in a little apprentice? The chair with his back to him turned, and on it sat a fat boss with a meaty face.
"Yes, you can't be mistaken, Bingyun is teaching that kid swordsmanship!" The fat man picked up a cigarette, and the attendant next to him lit it with a match.
"yes, I see." The fat man waved his hand and told the guards to go down.
"My military advisor, what you said last time is not true."
"It's true." The door opened, and through the side door, a man dressed in black entered.
"As long as you kill Bingyun, you can take all of this person's abilities, including skills and skill points."
"Hmph, that's good, since Bingyun can't be my force, I'll find someone to replace him." When Bingyun taught Xiao Yan to practice, an unknown conspiracy began.
In the first few days of sword training, Xiao Yan did not give up to practice wooden stakes, of course, he was unsuccessful.
"Not at all!" Xiao Yan lay down in frustration, he had been haunted by what Bingyun had said to him.
"You can't get over without enough courage."
"What do you mean? Call me a coward? Is the master underestimating me?" The dissatisfaction in Xiao Yan's heart arose spontaneously, and suddenly, Xiao Yan thought of Bingyun's request.
"It's okay for me to teach you first, but after you become a swordsman, if you still can't get past that wooden stake, you can't go out on an adventure."
"You can't go out of the city gate until you pass the wooden pile." Xiao Yan's mouth has words, so as long as I go out of the city gate, it can prove that I have enough courage and don't have to go to that wooden stake? (Young man, you have full marks for your comprehension ability) Xiao Yan was complacent about his comprehension ability, turned over on the spot, and raised his fists high.
"Yo Xi, I must make the master impress me." Without further ado, Xiao Yan trotted home with this idea.
After eating and tea, Xiao Yan slipped out of the house while her mother was resting. Looking at the small dagger in his hand, Xiao Yan was full of confidence.
Well, things are ready, let's go! In this way, Xiao Yan sneaked out of the city gate.
Pushing open the city gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a wild land, to be exact, there is only hard earth, scattered stones, and there is nothing. A cool breeze blew, and there was not a trace of greenery in sight.
"Why don't you even have a plant? Sisi~" Xiao Yan clasped his hands, shrunk his neck, and continued to walk forward.
"What is terrible outside this gate? It's just a little cold. Xiao Yan rubbed his arms, squinted his eyes and walked forward, halfway through, he stopped, and in front of his eyes, a forest appeared, and the nearest tree was less than 10 meters away from him.
I couldn't see a little green just now, but now a forest has appeared out of thin air? Without thinking about anything, Xiao Yan walked into the woods. This forest is very green, in other words, surprisingly green, every leaf of each tree is dark green, there is no sunlight, and the more you go inside, the more eerie it feels.
Just when Xiao Yan was thinking about whether to continue walking, something appeared on the tree, a few owls. Xiao Yan, who was alert, immediately relaxed and laughed.
"I thought there was something terrible outside the city gates, not a few ......" A few of the trees tilted their heads to look at him, and then their heads continued to turn, turning 180 degrees, and a long tongue sticking out from the bottom of the original head.
"Blame, monster." Several monsters jumped down, and Xiao Yan saw their faces clearly, except for their faces, the rest of their bodies were black, on all fours, with tails, like a lizard. It's just that it's a lot more than a lizard.
Xiao Yan instinctively ran away, and the monsters couldn't give up chasing.
"You can't get over without enough courage." Xiao Yan remembered Bingyun's words, and running away now proves that he is a coward? Touching the daggers in his pocket, Xiao Yan grabbed them and stabbed them at one of them.
"Huh-ah-" Xiao Yan gasped and pulled out the dagger that killed the monster. He pointed his dagger at other monsters who didn't dare to approach him.
"Wouldn't it be easy to kill you? I can too... Drink ......" Xiao Yan found that it was the injury on his right shoulder, so frightened that he let go of the dagger and sat on the ground.
"It hurts, it hurts." The pain hit violently, and seeing that his blood volume had dropped by a large margin, and there was a sign of state poisoning in the lower right corner, Xiao Yan's face became cold
Pain and fear went hand in hand, Xiao Yan used his hands and feet at the same time, and retreated in embarrassment.
"One monster can beat me with so much blood, and there are seven or eight more here...... Get out of here, get out of here, don't come here. Xiao Yan screamed in horror, grabbed the small stone next to him and threw it at them, but it was useless, these monsters seemed to smell the fear on Xiao Yan's body, and crawled forward step by step.
"Don't, don't." Xiao Yan wanted to turn around and run away, but unexpectedly, there were dense woods behind him.
"Liar, there weren't so many trees just now." Xiao Yan turned around, his eyes had lost their highlights, and the next situation can be imagined, this poor child will be brutally killed. The first nearest monster slammed into it, trying to tear Xiao Yan apart.
"Combination of sword skills, crescent moon slash change, round shield." Bingyun leaned forward, sprinted from behind Xiao Yan, one hand to protect his waist, the other hand on his abdomen, as if he was drawing a sword, his hand that had nothing at all, suddenly something appeared out of thin air, blue transparent particles gathered to form a transparent sword, and finally the blue particles dispersed, and a sword appeared in Bingyun's hand.
