Chapter 69: Footwork

Wendy is in good shape, although she was frightened in the kidnapping incident, this lively and cheerful Lori has also adjusted almost well in the more than a month since Liu Li was injured. When Liu Li knocked on the door of the familiar small villa in the aristocratic district, looking at the familiar figure that flew over, still shouting "little brother" in his mouth, the worry in his heart really dissipated.

In the conversation afterward, Liu Li did see the change in this little Lori, but this change is not too bad. In the past, Wendy did what she wanted, and rarely thought about whether her actions were appropriate. Just like on the way to Erenor City, a few simple conversations between her and Liu Li gave Teresa a headache next to her. And now little Lori feels a lot more mature, coupled with the fact that she was born in an aristocratic family and received elite education since she was a child, so that Wendy is a little less innocent and more calm than before.

After saying goodbye to Wendy and Teresa, Liu Li takes the squirrel to the City Guard training ground, at which point the kidnapping turmoil has finally passed, and Kuhn no longer needs to stay in the office to fight the criticism. It can be seen from the high-spirited appearance of the martial artist uncle in the training ground and the tragic situation of the city guards under his command being tossed by him, to what extent those approvals made his head big, and this is not venting the depression in his heart in his own way.

When I met Rin, this Lori was training as usual, and the appearance of two double-edged heavy axes flying up and down produced a strange sense of harmony with her petite body. Liu Li was happy when he saw the hunt, so he didn't say much, and directly called out "return" and jumped into the entrance.

Lin was naturally aware of the arrival of Liu Li and the squirrel, but this did not make her stop her movements. In the previous battle, Liu Li's combination of magic and martial arts made her refreshed, and if it wasn't for the wrong time, she would want to practice directly with Liu Li. After that battle, she was very worried about Liu Li's injury for a while, but Landolia didn't tell her how Liu Li's injury was, so she didn't worry too much. Now seeing that Liu Li is back to the same as before, she naturally won't let go of this opportunity, and she was thinking about what kind of way to open her mouth to invite the battle, but she didn't expect Liu Li to jump in by herself, which was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing the form of "returning" in Liu Li's hand, Lin was taken aback. Although there are not many people who use the giant scythe to fight, she still has some understanding of martial arts. The giant scythe, a weapon often used in military formations, is not suitable for fighting alone, but thinking of Liu Li's strength, which is not inferior to his own at all, Lin didn't dare to take it lightly, so he moved his wrist and clenched the heavy axe and rushed towards Liu Li. Lin has never been a defensive warrior, and even if she saw Liu Li using such a strange weapon as the giant scythe, she had no intention of defending.

Liu Li knew how powerful Lin's petite body was, and she naturally didn't dare to slack off in the face of this double-wielding heavy axe attack. However, Liu Li is also confident in himself, not to mention that his strength has increased again after this recovery, let's just say that the "return" in his hand, with the blessing of the elemental crystal, is more than one step in weight than the heavy axe.

Holding the handle of the sickle with both hands, the wide, sharp blade of the scythe brought out a bright crescent moon in the afterglow of the setting sun, which was smashing with the vertical split axe, bursting out with bright sparks. The two parted at the touch of a button, accompanied by the piercing sound of gold and iron, and the eyes looking at each other were more solemn at the same time.

Liu Li is a few points better than Lin in terms of strength, and the weight of the weapon also has a big advantage, but after all, this Lori came suddenly with the momentum of the charge, and it is far more skilled than Liu Li in the use of martial arts, so that this temptation is not divided under the influence of various factors.

"Yo, I've already practiced, the two little guys are really in a hurry. Kuhn also came to the side of the training ground, greeted the little squirrel, and focused his attention on the two students facing each other in the field.

"Yo, Liu Li's new weapon...... It's very chic. Kuhn had already learned Liu Li's strength far beyond ordinary people when he was instructing him in martial arts training, but he didn't expect that Liu Li, who originally used a spear, would actually switch to a long-handled heavy weapon like a giant scythe, and he was surprised and looked forward to Liu Li's next performance.

Lin's giant bloodline has endowed her with great strength, and she has decided her dual-wielding double-bladed heavy axe fighting style from the beginning of learning martial arts, and now she is about to break through the intermediate level, and she has been immersed in the double-axe martial arts for so many years, and her proficiency is far from being comparable to Liu Li's new tender who has used a giant scythe for only three days. For a while, Liu Li was suppressed and embarrassed, and he had to turn on the "omniscient" talent to barely resist.

Liu Li also knows his flaws, but it is precisely because of this that he will find Lin to practice, and there is no way to find his own shortcomings faster than actual combat. Liu Li didn't swing the giant scythe quickly, but every blow was precise, and the center of the scythe was too far away from both hands, making it difficult to grasp the stability of the attack. Liu Li used his own strength to stabilize the "return" in his hand, no matter what angle Lin's double axe attacked from, there was a bright crescent moon intercepting the path of the attack. Of course, this also has something to do with Lynn deliberately slowing down the speed of her attack. This Lori had already discovered that Liu Li was not familiar with the new weapon through the previous temptation, otherwise the initial temptation would never have been the result of that kind of close match. Although Lin didn't know why Liu Li's strength had increased so much in just over a month, she didn't think about finding out the other party's secrets, but was sincerely happy for her friend.

As time passed, the twin axes in Lynn's hands swung faster and faster. Lin can sense that Liu Li is getting familiar with the new form of "Return" at a very fast speed, in order to maintain the suppression of Liu Li, so that Liu Li can gain more in this training, this Lori can be regarded as working hard.

"Right foot, take a step back!"

Liu Li was struggling to resist the tomahawk attacking from a tricky angle, when he suddenly heard Kuhn's voice and was stunned, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and his right foot retreated. The distance of only one step brought Liu Li a different feeling, and the sudden increase in reaction space allowed the inflexible long-handled weapon in his hand to make more changes.

"Turn around, press on!"

It didn't take long for the new instructions to come again, Liu Li did not hesitate, after blocking the attacking tomahawk with the long handle of "Return" in his hand, he took his right leg as the axis and suddenly made a 360-degree rotation, and then moved forward with his left foot, taking a step with the force of "heavy", and at the same time stabilizing the center of gravity, he waved the "Return" in his hand, and also swept out an unusually wide crescent with the force of "heavy". Lin didn't seem to expect this kind of change, and under Liu Li's strong power, she could only double axes and one block, and was forced to retreat. This is the first time since the temptation that Liu Li forced Lin to retreat.

"Teacher, you are eccentric!" cried out to Lynn dissatisfied. However, little Lori is just talking, and she can see that Liu Li seems to have found a new way to fight under Kuhn's prompting. Lin slowed down her attack again, giving Liu Li more time to experience and think.

Under Kuhn's instructions, the two men who fought together again in the field attacked and defended each other, and Liu Li gradually mastered a new way of fighting. As I said before, Liu Li's advantage compared to other martial artists lies in his strength that far exceeds that of ordinary people, but he is not superior in speed. It's okay to flash and move in a small area, Liu Li is still good at flexibility, but it can only be called an average level in long-distance running.

In fact, Kuhn is also well thought out, footwork is different from general martial arts, although it is not a secret among warriors, but it is not something that everyone can teach. No one knows that the weapon that Kuhn is really good at is not the two-handed giant sword that he often carries with him, but the long-handled heavy weapon similar to the "Return" used by Liu Li, the sickle. Unlike the long axe, the scythe also has a wide blade, but also contains a small scythe on the back and a sharp spear head at the top. And the footwork he learned in using the sickle for a long time is just right for Liu Li now. It can be said that from the moment he got the inheritance of Kuhn's footwork, Liu Li's identity has changed from Kuhn's student to his closed disciple.

Liu Li's comprehension is naturally not bad, and under Kuhn's prompts again and again, he gradually began to become familiar with the use of footwork. When to press, when to retreat, which step requires the power of martial arts, and which step only needs to be lightly tapped...... With the deepening of his comprehension, Liu Li gradually had his own considerations in his heart.

Kuhn's hints began to gradually decrease, but Liu Li's condition in the field was getting better and better, and as the range of Liu Li's flashing and maneuvering gradually increased, Lin could no longer suppress him, but was seized by him to counterattack several times. The most powerful attack of the giant scythe is the uncommon action of "cutting", which often flashes from an unexpected angle with the blessing of Liu Li's footwork, leaving a crescent moon that makes Lin scramble.

At the same time, with the grip of the hand as the axis, through the blocking of the sickle, the huge sickle blade is cut, and the "death" seems to have a life in Liu Li's hands.

The sun was slanting in the west, and Liu Li's extremely fast swinging movements left one dazzling crescent moon after another around him, some of which flashed and some of which would exist for a long time, making Liu Li seem to be an elf dancing between the blades. These crescent moons often appear in Lynn's must-save place, making little Lori often scramble.

The squirrel standing on the sidelines was fascinated, she had just come into contact with martial arts, and she walked the smart way, and she was unreservedly guided by the forest of elves with the unreserved guidance of the forest rangers, so she naturally dabbled in the pace. Coupled with the strong talent of "Talent Condensation", her comprehension speed of this footwork born from the battle formation is even faster than Liu Li in the field.

Kuhn's face also had a terrifying smile that belonged to him, and he was relieved that he had finally found a suitable successor because of his exclusive martial arts.
