Chapter 621: The Weight of Truth
Back at Sister Xue's place, when she arrived, Luke was training with an expedition member to use a lightsaber. There is a big circle around the side to watch the lively players, as if watching a boxing match, if you look closely, there are people who are betting on the opening market, who will win on the two sides of the battle on the table.
Since gambling is forbidden in the expedition, the team members who bet on it are not actually gambling money, and the winners of the bets can let the losers sort out their housekeeping and give up specific training grounds or something after everyone returns to the base at the end of the mission.
At this time, Luke was fighting against an adept in the team managed by Sister Xue, and when the lightsaber training assessment conducted within the expedition team was evaluated, all the adepts were among the best. Defeated the opponents of the vast majority of warrior classes.
This is not to say that the members of the team who are Adepts are special in the expedition team full of talents, the point is that all the Adepts have undergone enhanced lightsaber training. After all, they are the ones who are most likely to use lightsabers against Force Warriors in actual combat on the Star Wars plane.
The warriors also had their own specific tactics and equipment that they could use to restrain the Force warriors. However, due to the lack of actual combat verification, no matter what kind of combat method it is, he is not ready to deal with high-level Force warriors at this time.
However, at this time, Luke was far from being a high-ranking Force Warrior, and due to the long-term lack of formal training, Luke's actual time spent on formal lightsaber training was not even as good as that of most expedition members.
That's why he has repeatedly lost in the competition with those players in the first two days, and it is not surprising that he has many defeats. If Luke had been standing on this stage two days ago, he would have been knocked to the ground by the player opposite him.
However, Luke is an excellent student, and every time he is knocked out by an opponent, it is an in-depth learning process for him. With the help of his own extremely strong ability to imitate, no matter what opponent it is. As long as he sees the tricks he uses clearly, he can learn them.
It was because of this keen senses and studious personality that Luke's swordsmanship was able to improve dramatically in two days, so high that many of the players watching the excitement were betting on him, which would have been unimaginable two days ago.
But Sister Xue doesn't care about this little difference, in her opinion. Luke, like he is now, finding an opportunity to play with the players is actually a waste of time. In terms of swordsmanship, the team members in front of them are not particularly good at it, and their specialties are shooting, stealth, and maintenance...... and so on based on technology.
True swordsmen are no match for any fully armed expedition when they are fully armed, so swordsmanship can only be said to be useful in the Star Wars plane, and this is only because of the existence of the Force.
Since the development of swordsmanship in this plane is based on the Force, the focus of the cultivation of a Qiē Force warrior should be on the Force. Luke's focus on swordsmanship is actually putting the cart before the horse. This is reflected in the original plot.
According to the original plot, Luke did not receive any formal swordsmanship training for the next two years. But his Force reserves had improved tremendously, and he was so strong that Vader, who was about to reach him again, had to admit that his son had already become a master in Force cultivation.
Also in the original plot, Luke uses very mediocre swordsmanship to defeat his father in a one-on-one duel. It can be seen that at least for a Force warrior like Luke, who has made rapid progress, swordsmanship is a floating cloud, and honestly cultivating the Force is the right way to improve combat effectiveness.
As long as Luke's Force level does not improve substantially, no matter how dick he is, his swordsmanship will still be a floating cloud. Needless to say, in the face of his father, the god of war who is famous throughout the galaxy, even Sister Xue herself has the confidence to beat this most famous Skywalker with special abilities.
Precisely because of this. Sister Xue did not hesitate to stand up after seeing the situation in the arena and interrupted the on-site competition. "You're all idle, should I cancel all of your vacations for the next few months?" ”
Sister Xue came over and shouted directly, and the team members who were watching the excitement at the scene immediately dispersed like birds and beasts. It's fun to watch free lightsaber battles, but no one wants to replace them at the expense of their own vacation.
After driving away the team members who were watching the excitement, Sister Xue called Luke over. Give him a brief introduction to his findings. After hearing that his mother was not amnesia, he seemed a little dazed. Surprisingly, though, it's not very surprising.
Seeing Luke's calm reaction, Sister Xue immediately understood, I am afraid that Luke had discovered the abnormality in his mother who met for the first time during his previous visit. Sure enough, having the Force to help sense the world is convenient.
However, these small problems did not affect her plan, and Sister Xue did not ask for specific details. Just asked Luke to help him persuade his mother to help. Her vision was to use Luke and Princess Leah as tools to force Padmé to cooperate with the expedition's plans.
"Why do you have to ask me to help with this?" Commander. Isn't it enough for me and Leah to work with you? Why did I have to involve my mother? Until a few days ago, we didn't know about her sizài, and damn it, I didn't even know I had a sister at the time. As soon as Luke heard that he wanted to help "persuade" his mother, he immediately expressed his rejection.
He wasn't quite receptive to his new family, especially his flying mother. After fighting Vader in Cloudsdale, he was barely able to accept that the other party was his father, as Vader had kept his hand many times during the battle, and he also showed concern for his future in every way.
He can also accept that he has a sister with a prominent position, because they have had the adventure of life and death. But the young man who was named the savior still couldn't accept his young mother who fell from the sky.
The expedition has yet to reveal the source of their information to them (the Star Wars films), which means that Luke is still ignorant of a large number of important plots about his childhood and birth. He didn't know how his father became the number two in the empire, or how his mother died.
He was still suspicious of Vader and Leah's kinship, and any answers given by the Force were vague, and they could only get infinitely close to the truth, but they could not truly restore what had happened. On such a major matter as family relationships, he did not dare to jump to conclusions.
"That's a good question, but by now you know the gap between yourself and Vader. Do you think there is anyone in the galaxy right now who can defeat him in a "fair" battle? Sister Xue first asked him rhetorically.
The question stopped Luke, who had never posed any threat to Vader in the face-to-face fight. In his senses, there seemed to be no limit to the amount of Force Vader could invoke, surging like the waves of the ocean.
Combined with the ability of the Force to foresee, it really seems impossible to defeat Vader. There may be a silver lining in convincing the other side to abandon the Empire, after all, in a brief conversation with Vader, Luke can sense that his father is not completely corrupted.
"Your mother is the key, Luke. She is your father's introduction to the dark side of the Force, and if anyone in this world can change his will, it must be your mother. That's why you need to help me. If she refuses to admit her identity, this war will be even longer......" Sister Xue said such a long paragraph very meaningfully, as if she had seen the future.
"That's what you guys say, but how do you know what the future holds?" Can you predict the future or what? I've been here for a few days now, and each of you seems to know my background, my past, and even my future. But no one tells me how you know, and if you really want me to help, at least tell me how you know that. Luke paused and made his request.
He's a very temperamental person, but the few days I've been here have accumulated too many questions. He knew that the expedition had a lot to hide from him, which made him afraid to fully trust his saviors.
The problem was that Luke didn't know what to do with an unreliable ally like the expedition. His life has never been more complicated. A lot of the time in the past, he followed in the footsteps of other people. It's easier to move without having to use your own brain.
He first followed Obi-Wan's instructions, and after Obi-Wan's death, he followed Captain Solo and Princess Leah for a long time. No matter who he follows, he will do his best to help his companions, because he knows that he can fully trust these people.
But after the Battle of Cloudsdale, everything became much more complicated. He was shocked to realize that what he knew before had a deeper meaning, and that people who he considered "absolutely credible" could also deceive himself with "white intentions" lies.
There is no longer anyone ahead who can fully trust and lead the way. And the expedition that treated him with his serious wounds did not appear to be entirely credible. And no one seemed interested in leading him, which was an unprecedented situation for Luke.
In order to find out the truth about his origins, Luke also asked many members of the expedition team that he could get his hands on. However, these guys all seemed to be in the same mind, and when asked about the key questions, they all said in an astonishing voice, saying that only Master Chief and Sister Xue could answer questions of this level.
The Master Chief was in a state of closed doors, so his questions could only be answered through Sister Xue. After getting Luke's request, Sister Xue turned her head and looked at him carefully, and finally compromised and said, "Are you sure you're ready to deal with the truth?" After receiving Luke's affirmative answer, she chuckled and replied, "As you wish!" He led Luke to the nearest conference room. (To be continued......)
