CH.15 Guidance
"To play with the sword, you must master the center of gravity of the sword, as well as your own center of gravity, you must be very sensitive to power, and you must learn to control power."
Tang Ke played with his broadsword, the tip of which swinged like a pendulum, teaching sword skills to a dozen idle sailors. The Black Pearl was ten meters wide, enough for them to pull the scene on deck.
Donk used to fight wildly, and he didn't know kung fu. The Western-style swordsmanship in his mind now was given by the pirate system. This kind of swordsmanship is not as complex as Chinese kung fu, but it is not simple, just what Tang Ke knows, there are more than a dozen sets of combat theories, these are basic swordsmanship.
"Don't be so stiff in your arms, you have to make sure that you swing your sword in a relaxed state, no matter how little force you slash your head, it's a fatal injury, your arm is as hard as a wooden club, and you won't be able to swing your sword quickly."
He spun around and pointed out some of the sailors' mistakes. These sailors are very strong, and even more so if they know a little skill. Tang Ke still has to rely on these people to fight at sea, so naturally he will not be stingy with teaching.
He found a sailor to fight, and although he had a great sword in his hand, he moved faster than a sailor with a long sword. He stood in a T-step, took a deceptive position, and retreated in alternate steps, dodging a horizontal slash, and the great sword in his hand flicked upwards and dotted the sailor's neck.
Deception is to point the tip of the sword at the foot when facing the enemy, which seems to be flawed all over the body, but in fact it is a hidden killing machine.
He stepped back and replaced it with the bull position of the four major slashes of Western swordsmanship, which specialized in slashing attacks and perfectly protected his upper body. The main points of Western swordsmanship are calmness, footwork, the use of strength, and the restraint between the various sword techniques.
The bull position is in a position, holding the sword with both hands, the sword body is parallel to the line of sight, and the tip of the sword looks like a bull's horn, which is a momentum that focuses on straight stabs.
"Don't focus on my sword, pay attention to my whole movement, hit me to win, not the sword in my hand." As he wrestled with the sailor, he spoke with ease, and swung his sword with grace as if he were dancing.
The sailor's progress was not slow, the more he fought, the more he felt, and the swordsmanship in his hand tended to be smooth.
"Well, it's much better now." Tang Ke nodded approvingly, "There is a good saying, usually sweat more, fight less bloodshed, you have nothing to do and practice more." ”
Feeling tired of playing with the sailor, Tonk turned his wrist and used his greatsword as a fly swatter, knocking the sailor aside, and then ordering another sailor.
"Here you go."
The sailor was not frightened, he came over with a sailor's scimitar, lowered his waist, looked at Tang Ke with fierce eyes, and moved his feet side by step, in circles, just not attacking.
"It's pointless to blindly maneuver, you have to focus on attacking, take the lead, and make the enemy scramble with two strokes of the sword." Donk frowned impatiently, and stabbed out the great sword in his hand, which had the advantage in length, and stabbed straight at the front door, causing the sailor to roll backwards in fright, and almost fell off the ship.
This trick of stabbing the door with a sword is the "forced sword" in Western swordsmanship. The sword is often used when the two are at a distance, and even if they can't stab the opponent, it can play a provocative role, and if the opposing swordsman is provoked, it is likely to be disorganized.
The onlookers laughed and laughed, and life on board was confined to a small space, and if you didn't have some fun, you would go crazy.
Donk later asked the sailors to train on their own, while he carried his sword to the sea to practice heavy slashing. This sword skill requires charging, which takes about two seconds, and when it is completed, it can be swung out, and it can emit a burst of sword energy.
The strength of the dead Kedar is also in the second order, but there is still a gap between the second order and the second order. Tang Ke had just stepped into the threshold of a second-order swordsman, and there was no guarantee that every sword would strike out sword qi.
The sword aura that Tang Ke struck was quite ornamental, and a few lazy sailors came to watch, patting their asses from time to time. Donk didn't pay any attention to them.
Strength is the most direct way to gain respect, and respect is the basic condition for maintaining superiors and subordinates, and the whole with order will be unbreakable. Donk used his superior strength to gain the respect of the sailors.
"You've reached the second order?"
When Donk heard that it was a woman, he turned his head to see Elizabeth approaching.
Her original clothes had been stained with blood, and now she was wearing a man's sailor suit, with a white long-sleeved shirt with a round neck inside, and a coarse cloth waistcoat outside.
"I learned a lot from that fight with Kedar, and I improved by the way." He said nonchalantly, raising his greatsword and caressing the smooth, icy blade with his other hand.
Elizabeth's pale golden eyebrows were raised, and she was quite surprised in her heart, when she fought with the black toad half a month ago, Tang Ke was still only a first-order, but she didn't expect to be promoted to a second-order swordsman so quickly. You must know that the division of each profession is capped by ten levels, and the gap between each level is like a chasm.
Being able to slash out sword qi is the proof of a second-order swordsman.
She glanced Tang Ke up and down, and Ling Ran said, "In that case, let's have a competition between the two of us." I want to learn a thing or two. ”
Tang Ke shook his head and deliberately teased her: "I don't want to do the competition without color heads, I'm not interested." You have to compete, but you have to raise the ante. ”
She glanced at him angrily, she was obviously not strong, she said that she was going to compete, but in fact, she just wanted to learn from the point.
An eyeless sailor came out of the side, holding a long sword in his hand, and said with a wink, "Hehe, beautiful female captain, I am willing to compete with you in place of Captain Tangk." You don't need any color heads. ”
Elizabeth glanced at the sailor and said disdainfully, "Just you?" Hum. ”
As soon as the words fell, she made a quick move, pinched the opponent's sword body with one hand, folded it with skill, raised her foot and kicked the opponent's wrist, snatched the sword away, pulled an arc-shaped sword flower, and held it firmly in her hand.
"You want to compete with me, you're not worthy."
The sailor woke up from a dream, clutching his aching wrist and screaming.
Tang Ke kicked the sailor in anger and scolded, "You bastard has disgraced the dragon pirate group, and you will be punished for brushing the deck for a week." ”
The others laughed at the sailor for being bored and pointing. The sailor scratched his head and stepped back.
"I'll accompany you in the game." As the captain of the ship, Donk had to come out to find a scene.
Elizabeth smiled lightly and walked slowly to the spacious part of the center of the hull, and the other sailors subconsciously retreated in a circle, freeing up an open space.
Tang Ke was much more serious, and his posture was meticulous, holding the sword in both hands, and the blade of the sword was pointed diagonally at the opponent. He was a bit machismo, deliberately waiting for her to strike first.
Of course, she will not be polite, and she slashes at her with a sword, and her momentum is overwhelming. When he saw the move, the big sword was agile in the might, and it also had the advantage of the length of the sword. The two fought for a while, looking dangerous, but no one hurt anyone, after more than a dozen moves, he added strength to one move, and the sword qi overflowed, shaking her sword down, and winning without suspense.
Elizabeth was not angry when she lost, she just wanted to learn a few tricks, and generously admitted that she had lost, picked up the sword, and threw it to the owner of the sword.
In contrast, Donk's broadsword was a little more laborious to put away, he had to insert it into the wide wooden scabbard and straddle it behind his back. There are straps on the scabbard that can be tied to the chest.
"How about dinner together in my captain's room in the evening?" After the sword game, Donk invited.
"Not interested." Elizabeth replied without thinking, turned and walked away.
The other sailors laughed when they saw that the captain had lost the pickles.
"What are you laughing at, don't practice swords yet!"
Tang Ke drove away the sailors with scolding, and everyone restrained their smiles and returned to their cultivation in full swing. He continued to act as an overseer, supervising the sailors.
"Captain, that big toad is so hungry that I want to talk to you!" While everyone was busy, a sailor ran up to the deck to report the incident to Donk.
"Oh? That's good news. Donk's eyes lit up.
