Chapter 57: Strength Show
The sound of "Click-" sounded! A long strip of object wrapped around the strip of cloth waved in mid-air with the sound of the strip of cloth rubbing against the air.
In the courtyard of the Boreham Merchant House, Barrett was practicing against a cat boy who was much shorter than him. With the reminder of "upper left", I saw him holding his left foot on the ground with his body as an axis, and then his right foot exerted force and twisted his waist. Then the hands holding the practice sword waved to the left, and the unbladed long sword wrapped in strips of cloth in his hand quickly pulled Lu closer to the distance.
The whole action was completed in one go, from preparation to launch in the blink of an eye, and the friction between the long sword and the air made the cloth wrapped around the sword make a "whew-huh-" sound. And the catboy, who had been warned in advance, relied on his nimble skills to roll backwards, narrowly avoiding Barrett's attack. This time, Barrett, who failed to wield it, relied on his movements to the extent that he was close to retracting and releasing freely and prepared in advance, and did not let the inertia of a sword affect his next action.
"Qiang-" There was another crisp crash, and I saw the cat boy holding the sickle in his right hand and pressing the blade on the inside with his left hand, barely blocking Barrett's next attack with the outward side. Then, under Barrett's strength, the cat boy turned into a rolling gourd in an instant. It took a little spin to completely defuse the attack.
"How? If it's okay, I'll attack you this time. Barrett, who had retracted his practice sword, beckoned to the catboy. As soon as the words fell, the cat boy charged and then bounced towards the ball. A moment later, the blades collided again.
Thankfully, the cat boy never thought that he would be able to make a contribution with one blow, and when the attack was blocked, he used the force of the shock to retreat. But at this time, Barrett picked it up, and the power contained in this simple upward movement was there. Big almost upset the kitten's balance. Fortunately, as a warrior monk, Lalu has a very good control over his own balance. After landing, he took two steps back and finally stabilized his figure. But with such a delay, he also missed the best opportunity for follow-up rework.
"Lalu, can you hold on a little longer? If you don't believe me, let's stop this training for the time being! "Look at the cat's constant panting. Barrett asked, a little reluctantly.
It's a pity that Lalu, who usually doesn't seem to have any opinions, shook his head so strongly at this time: "Don't! I can go on. ”
"Really? In that case, it's time for me to attack again! Although Barrett was full of smiles when he spoke, Barrett couldn't help but use the footwork of "dark turbulence" when he rushed again.
And Lalu, who found that Barrett's head was getting bigger and bigger, couldn't wait for himself to think anything more, and the opponent's stormy attack came in front of him. The action of the catboy who had just fought was completely suppressed, although the agile shooter who occupied the agile guard could barely resist, but he couldn't spare his hand to carry out any counterattack.
At this time, the cat boy feels as if he is in a small boat sailing in a storm, and he is unable to resist the blow of huge waves and winds. Gang with the swing of Barrett's blade. The cat boy is like being thrown into the sky by a huge wave, and sometimes rolling under the sea - at this moment, the difference in strength between Barrett and Lalu is also beginning to be exposed.
Lacking the strength to match Barrett's attack, it is difficult to slash Barrett's superb technique with his nimble body alone. In the face of the big man's attack, Lalu, who was completely disrupted by the rhythm - whether it was the change in body shape or the weapon in his hand, it was difficult to organically combine his own offensive and defensive changes.
But just when the cat boy was about to be completely defeated, he still gritted his teeth and persevered. This cannot but say that human potential is limitless. As the battle between the two continued, Lalu's movements, which were sluggish at first, slowly became smoother and smoother. Seeing this change, Barrett also subconsciously slowed down his offensive.
In the eyes of the onlookers, Barrett's "change of reality must be paid attention to, and the qi is not stagnant all over the body." The movement in the stillness is still quiet, and the change of the enemy shows the magic. These four verses are a guided offensive. It's definitely a smooth flow of water -- 'swing the sword forward with confidence, dodge and block and open and close freely.' Offense and defense change without showing a trace'.
Then Lalu acts like a young leopard that has just learned to hunt, and is being caught up and down in a row when dealing with more powerful predators. Although it is still at a disadvantage, it is no longer the crumbling appearance it used to be. Slowly, under Barrett's guidance, Lalu gradually developed some tacit understanding and began to get used to the rhythm between the two.
However, Barrett is pleased with Laru's progress, but he also has bitter words. This kind of teaching method to guide others to progress is often used on the mainland as a means of formal knightly teaching apprentices. With Barrett's current strength, it is too reluctant to use such a method.
In just a few minutes, Fabarret's blood was already churning. He had to close the pores of his whole body, penetrate the muscles and bones, and twist them into a thread to control the cat. Now it seems that although it can still completely suppress the cat-man warrior monk, it is actually the end of the crossbow.
As a last resort, Barrett took advantage of one of his attacks to cause the opponent to pause and quickly retreated. After pulling the distance, he held the hilt of his sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed downward, and he said at the same time, "All right! Lalu, you can stop. The battle just now has already tested your equipment level. I have to say that your talent is really good, and you can have such a big gain in training with me. ”
"That's also Barrett, you teach well! None of the coaches invited by the family could be of your level. After holding out the heaving gasps of his chest, the cat boy gave Barrett a super high rating.
"I can even hire a coach!" Looks like I guessed right. Able to and Claymatis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore, the two eldest ladies mixed together, how can it be an ordinary midfielder. Although Barrett was thinking about other things in his heart, he didn't stop: "Next, I'm going to give targeted instructions on some of your movements, and swing the scythe in that direction." ”
"Is that like this?" The catboy's hands clenched the 'scorpion sickle' and waved a "hiss" sound that broke the air.
"That's not right! You can't do that. Be careful not to tighten your forearms too tightly. Barrett pointed out the mistakes made by the catboy when using the equipment. He then caught Lalu's Scorpion Scythe and gave him a demonstration. However, the difference between the two is too big. It was a weapon that was just right in Lalu's hands. Changing to Barrett is like an adult using a child's toy, which is quite joyful.
Looking at the cat boy demonstrated by Barrett, he tilted his head and shook his ears: "Is that to prepare for a change of tricks?" ”
"Nope! That's to prevent you from hurting your own arm. This is the same as when you used to attack with hand-to-hand, which was to relax your joints. Barrett stretched out his arm and demonstrated, "It's going to be like this." After all, you can't compare to many warriors or barbarian professionals in terms of strength, so you should pay more attention to skill when fighting, rather than going head-to-head with the opposite ......"
As he spoke, Barrett seemed to suddenly think of something: "I remember that when you were fighting with hand-to-hand, you obviously had a good grasp of this aspect!" How did you get into the way you are when you put on your weapon? ”
"After all, I haven't used anything like this before!" The cat pouted, and then turned his wrist nimbly to make the 'Scorpion Scythe' spin in a circle in his hand.
Complaints about the cats. Barrett nodded in understanding: "Now that you know, you should step up your practice!" But I think it only takes a week to solve this biggest problem! The rest of the minor problems have been solved, and we are here to correct this. ”
"Barrett, are you too anxious, my family has just recovered!" Seeing that the fierce battle in the center of the field was over, Rielly immediately trotted over to the cat.
Barrett, who touched the bridge of his nose, smiled and said, "You really think that you are the one who broke your bones for a hundred days in reality!" If you use the 'Secondary Restoration Technique' directly, you won't have any problems. ”
"I want to remind you that now, even in reality, it doesn't take a hundred days to treat a broken bone. Don't keep coming up with classical vocabulary, sometimes it sounds like my head is about to turn a bit. At this moment, Claudia walked behind. Auditore couldn't help but complain.
And Clematis. Bot also chimed in: "That's right! That's right! In order to be able to figure out the weird words that pop up from time to time, we have to search the thesaurus specifically. I really don't know how you got this quirk, could it be that the teacher who taught you the language course before had this fetish? ”
"This. It's all my personal reasons! It has anything to do with the period of schooling. Barrett, who knew that a lie had to be covered up with more lies, did not go with the flow to divert the contradictions.
Claudia. Auditore wrinkled his nose: "You guy, you're such a weirdo. ”
"Say whatever you want! I just want to be classical. Barrett shrugged indifferently.
But at this time, Clematis. Bot said with a wicked smile, "Barrett." You can't just practice Laru! Isn't it time to show your kung fu in front of us again! ”
"That's right! That's right! How could you bully Lalu like this when he was not used to changing weapons. So I want to think about whether it's time to return you to the way you are not good at, it's time to show us the so-called master style. Rielly, who let go of the kitten, immediately glared at Barrett and said.
And at this time Claudia. Auditore's eyes were dripping around Barrett: "That's right! That's right! I've known you for so long, and I haven't seen you fight with your hand-to-hand in a barrett! How, don't be so shy! ”
"You guys won't have already discussed this when you just watched me guide Lalu!" With his hands on his hips, Barrett smiled and swept his gaze over the ladies, "Are you sure you want to see my hand-to-hand tactics." So whoever goes first, remember not to cry when the time comes! ”
"Barrett, don't be pretending like that. We won't be fooled by your clumsy acting skills! Rielly was smiling at the moment. And Clematis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore and the two of them also made a look of eagerness.
Seeing this, Barrett turned his head to look at the courtyard. He noticed that the halfling wanderer, who had been watching the battle at the beginning of the instruction, had quietly returned to his room and closed the door. Apparently this guy had heard the remarks between several ladies before. It's a pity that he has no intention of standing in the shoes of fellow men to come to Barrett's aid.
"That traitor!" Barrett, who said this, glared at the noodle room angrily, and then moved his wrist: "If that's the case, then I'll return this practice sword to the weapon rack first." ”
After saying this, Barrett waved his hand and threw the practice sword wrapped in strips of cloth in his hand high. Then I saw him pick up his left arm and step on his right foot, and in an instant, the strength of his whole body originated from his feet and condensed and operated from his waist. When the arm was thrown out, it turned into a white flower. That white blossom flew in the wind, and by the time it turned back into an arm, it was already the moment when it was about to make contact with the iron sword.
In an instant, Barrett pulled out his arm like a whip, and like a rat boiling oil, he staggered the position of the blade and came to the side of the long sword. Then the five fingers turned into a fist and struck on the spine of the long sword wrapped in strips of cloth. Just listen to 'Boom!!' With a screeching sound, the sword was struck in the direction of the weapon rack by Barrett's blow.
In the hearts of several female compatriots, the original next repertoire should have been this practice sword knocking down the weapon rack. Can it be exciting? To his great surprise, the long sword, which was holding a strip of cloth, landed firmly on the weapon rack.
Barrett, who clapped his hands as if cleaning up the ash layer, looked at several female compatriots who were eager to try it before with a wicked smile: "How is it! Who the hell came up first? ”
"This, I suddenly remembered, I haven't finished the gold ceremony today." Clematis who said this. Bot immediately ran into the house.
"I remember that I haven't finished memorizing that real name book yet!" Claudia. Auditore vanished.
Rielly suddenly pretended to be okay and said, "Lalu, shouldn't we go shopping?" (To be continued......)
