Chapter 40: Slashing
Catherine looked back on the day, the battle with the large wild boar herd was already quite tiring, and then leaving the Hermit Forest with a large amount of supplies on her back and trekking all the way to the Valley of the Dawn Wind required considerable physical strength. By the time she had finally found a cave where she could rest and enjoy dinner, Catherine felt tired and hungry.
"Mr. Cat...... Can I eat it now? By the time she said this, Catherine had unconsciously reached out to the wild boar that had not yet been roasted to a full degree.
"Smack!"
Wen Long slapped Catherine's outstretched hand with one paw, and then said, "Now is not the time to eat, we still have important things to do before eating!" Meow! ”
"Something important?" Catherine didn't seem to know what the important thing Wen Long was referring to.
"Have you forgotten what you said before?"
"Eh, Mr. Cat, what did I say?"
"Train hard! Meow! ”
"Huh...... But they haven't eaten yet, and they say......"
"Come and eat after practicing, if you don't even have this bit of perseverance, how can you become a good hunter? Meow! ”
Wenlong knew that no matter how talented a person was, if he didn't have perseverance in training, he would never be able to achieve anything in the field of Monster Hunter. In the end, it will only become obscure in the days of laziness and confusion.
So in the training of Catherine, in addition to the general hunting skills, Wenlong also intends to train Catherine's perseverance first! Naturally, this includes the will to be able to complete the training without being tempted by the food!
"Since Mr. Cat said so...... "I could see that Catherine really wanted to eat, but she still picked up the big sword that had been placed on the ground, and then stepped aside to get ready for training."
If you want to use a weapon well, you must first ensure that you have enough proficiency in the weapon moves, not only fast, but also accurate movements, which is undoubtedly what Catherine lacks.
Before, because I was not familiar with the big sword, the speed of the move was too slow, and the incident occurred when the big boar dodged the attack. So this time, Wen Long is going to start training Catherine with the most basic moves.
"First put the big sword into the scabbard on your back, then keep your legs shoulder-width apart and maintain a basic standing position, meow!" Wen Long commanded.
"Ah, okay, Mr. Cat." According to Wen Long, Catherine tucked the greatsword into the scabbard on her back, and then stood naturally.
"What I'm going to teach you now is the most basic move of the great sword, the vertical slash! The reason why it is said to be the most basic move of the broadsword is because the vast majority of hunters who use the greatsword will use this move as their own drawing style! Meow! Wen Long said in a frustrated voice.
"Drawn?"
"That is, the first way to pull the greatsword out of its scabbard and attack."
Because Wenlong used to educate newcomers in games, he spoke with the taste of an experienced mentor, giving people a very professional look.
"Because the big sword is a very heavy and long weapon, it will generally become very inconvenient when moving, and if you want to move as quickly as possible, you can only put it in the scabbard on your back. Meow! ”
"Oh, oh!" Catherine couldn't help but nod.
"Here's my decomposition, meow!" At this time, Wen Long didn't know where to find a branch, and then stuck it on his back to simulate the appearance of a big sword.
I saw Wen Long holding the "big sword" inserted in his back with two hands, and then raised the big sword above his head with force, and then slashed it down!
"Whew!" The branches of the trees streaked through the air, and the surrounding air vibrated violently, giving people an amazing momentum!
"Wow, Mr. Cat is amazing...... It's just a twig, but it feels like you're using a weapon! Catherine exclaimed.
"That's how important it is to have a correct posture, so that you can have a greater effect than the average person even if you don't use much effort, and if you have an accurate posture, you will be able to move faster because there are no extra movements! Meow! Wen Long said a little proudly.
In the past, when Wenlong was in the game, he was not only proficient in one weapon. As the top player of the entire server at that time, Wenlong had already collected all the top equipment very early, so he began to practice a variety of different weapons in the following time, striving to become an all-round hunter who was proficient in all weapon types.
Because of this, Wenlong has the confidence to train Catherine into an excellent hunter.
But even so, Catherine still had a puzzled look on her face.
"But, Mr. Cat, I still don't see any difference, obviously it seems to be similar to my posture, how can the effect of the same move be so different?"
"Really? Sure enough, it's just a demonstration, and it's still not so easy for ordinary people to understand...... Since that's the case, then I'll explain it again," Wen Long touched his chin and said, "Although this vertical slashing posture seems simple, there are two main points that need to be mastered. ”
"The first thing is to pull the big sword out of the scabbard, and then raise it above your head, be sure to change the direction of the power when the big sword in your hand reaches its highest point! Because the weight of the greatsword is very considerable, it is only by letting it start falling at the highest point that it can make the most of the power brought by its gravitational potential energy! Do you understand? Meow! ”
"Oh......" Catherine still seemed to be a little confused.
"What? Still don't get it? If you don't understand, just ask, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”
"May I ask Mr. Cat, what is that gravitational potential energy?"
"Uh......" Wen Long realized that he seemed to be using a word that does not usually appear in this world, so he quickly explained, "Regarding gravitational potential energy, it is a very esoteric thing, you don't have to understand it, you just need to remember to raise the big sword to the highest point first and then change the direction of the power, meow." ”
"Well, okay, Mr. Cat." Catherine nodded.
"Then the second point of the vertical slash is to be fast, ruthless, and accurate at the moment of chopping!"
"How can we be fast, ruthless, and accurate?" Under Wenlong's guidance, Catherine is like a studious student and begins to ask questions about what she doesn't understand.
"Like this," Wen Long instructed while holding the branch in his hand, "At the moment when the big sword is split, the right leg takes a step forward and leans forward at the same time, not only the power of the big sword, but even the strength of the body must be pressed down, so that not only can the power of the big sword be maximized as much as possible, but also the step forward can also be used to slightly adjust the direction of the big sword, to achieve the two elements of ruthlessness and accuracy, and fast This element requires you to practice more, practice the whole action proficiently, and you can naturally do it, meow!" ”
