Chapter 57: More Practice
Dinner is still a barbecue, but the meat slices wrapped in fresh vegetable leaves have a richer texture than a simple barbecue, and the after-dinner fruit makes the nutrition more balanced.
After dinner, and after a short rest, Catherine began to pick up the Great Bone Sword and practice slashing again.
"I think I'm used to practicing when I have free time...... Well, I really didn't expect this woman to be quite self-motivated......" Wen Long, who was watching from the sidelines, thought, "But I've almost practiced the vertical slash, so I should teach some other tricks, right?" ”
Thinking so, Wen Long picked up a branch from the ground, then walked to Catherine's side, and made a pause gesture to signal Catherine to stop practicing first.
"Good job, I'm very pleased to see that you can use your free time to hurry up and practice Uncle Ben...... "Wen Long said, "So now Uncle Ben will teach you another trick!" Meow! ”
"Great, Mr. Cat!" Catherine immediately showed a look of delight, "I'm going to learn the double knife you used this afternoon......"
"Smack!"
Before Catherine could finish speaking, Wen Long mercilessly slapped Catherine on the head with a branch.
"That kind of advanced move is not something you can learn, what you want to learn now is the basic, do you understand the basics? Meow? Wen Long reprimanded.
"Hmm...... Ok ......"
"Hmm......" Wen Long thought for a moment, "Since the two skills of the big sword's 'vertical slash' and 'defense' have been basically mastered, then let's teach you horizontal slashing!" Meow! ”
"Slash?"
"Well, horizontal slash, just listen to the name, horizontal slash, that is, sweep the big sword over. Compared to the vertical slash, the horizontal slash will be slower, but the advantage is also obvious, that is, it has an attack range that the vertical slash can't match! Meow! ”
"Attack...... Range? ”
"That is, how much area can your attack cover, it will be a good choice when dealing with more monsters, and often a horizontal slash can clear a monster! It's a move that is suitable for dealing with multiple targets, meow! ”
"Oh!"
"Watch out, meow!"
Just like when he taught slashing before, Wen Long picked up the branch in his hand again and used it as a big sword and started to demonstrate.
I saw Wen Long step out, his body rotated, and the branch in his hand also swept over, sweeping a fan-shaped afterimage in front of his body!
"Wow! Mr. Cat, you're very imposing even if it's a tree branch! ”
"Hmph, who do you think Uncle Ben is? But...... Unlike the vertical slash, the horizontal slash focuses on the waist, which uses the power of the waist to drive the whole body to rotate, and then sweeps the sword over...... Do you understand? Meow? ”
After the demonstration, Wen Long was afraid that Catherine would not understand something, so he explained the key points again.
"Okay, Mr. Cat!"
So Catherine also tried to swing the big sword like Wen Long, but the big sword was only halfway swung when Wen Long interrupted it.
"Attention, the focus is on the waist! No matter how strong the hand is, can it compare to the strength of the waist? Don't just use the strength of your hands, but also move your waist together to maximize your strength! Meow! ”
"Okay, okay......" Hearing what Wenlong said, Catherine hurriedly corrected her posture, and after trying a few more times, Catherine's movements gradually became standard.
Seeing that Catherine's posture was basically no problem, Wen Long, as before, set another 500 practice times for Catherine.
However, unlike the first time she practiced slashing, this time Catherine did not complain at all, but naturally accepted the training number of 500 set by Wen Long.
"Five hundred times? No problem. Catherine said, and counted herself as she began to perform the horizontal slash, "once...... Twice...... Triple ......"
"It's so easy to accept, should I consider increasing the amount of training?" Thinking like this, Wen Long began to carefully observe Catherine's reaction when she swung her great sword, and sure enough, he found something different from before.
Obviously, Catherine would sweat and breathe a little quickly after swinging the big sword dozens of times before, but this time it didn't seem to have this change, but showed a more comfortable appearance.
All in all, it's a lot easier than before.
"I was always pampered by my brother before I became a hunter...... So there's not much opportunity for heavy physical labor, right? After a few days of hunting training after becoming a hunter, not only did my skills and psychology become more mature, but also my physical ability began to improve? ”
This reminded Wenlong of the time when he practiced running 5,000 meters in school as a student before the crossing.
At first, Wenlong couldn't run almost halfway through the 5,000-meter run, but after running for a few days in a row, his body began to adapt to the intensity of the exercise, so he gradually became more relaxed. And after a month, Wenlong didn't feel that it was too much effort to run 5,000 meters, and Wenlong at this time would be enough to run another 10,000 meters.
At that time, Wenlong was deeply aware that even if he was just an ordinary person, his physical fitness would be quite good after training.
"Obviously, the physical ability is already very perverted, and there is still so much room for improvement...... I really don't know how far I'm going to grow in the future...... I'm looking forward to it! ”
So Wenlong, who thought so, decided to increase the amount of training for Catherine.
"Now, woman, the five hundred that Uncle Ben said is more than five hundred? Instead, do five hundred horizontal and vertical slashes! Meow! ”
"Huh? Mr. Cat......" Catherine was stunned for a moment, then said. "Isn't that 1,000?"
"That's it, although you've done a good job of slashing, but if you forget to continue practicing because you want to practice slashing, I'm afraid you'll become rusty again in the future. So while practicing the horizontal slash, the vertical slash can't be left behind! Wenlong explained, "How? Can it be done? Meow? ”
"No, no problem!" Catherine gritted her teeth and answered.
"Well, good, then work hard to sweat your youth towards the goal of the Great Hunter! Meow! ”
On a whim, he made a declaration that even he felt that the second middle school was not good, and Wenlong touched his beard with some embarrassment.
"Then let this woman practice on her own, and it doesn't matter if I don't supervise it even if I don't have such perseverance, right? At this time, I can also further improve my body like mine, just what is it good to practice, meow? ……”
