Chapter 43: Swordsmanship
For a long time, Rodin's fighting style has been a straightforward three-plate axe, simple and pure, with only more than 4,000 slashes and stabbing swords per day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At first, he did not receive a comprehensive instruction in swordsmanship from Leviathan, but practiced the most basic moves, and then lost his sight in his right eye, and lost the mind to practice all-round swordsmanship.
In fact, most of the time, with his extraordinary strength and reflexes, he finished his opponent cleanly with these two moves, so he firmly believed in the determination to eat all over the world and go all the way to the black.
On the seventh day of joining the Yankees, the wound on his leg was almost healed, and Rodin had an itchy hand to start a discussion with the gang.
After defeating five opponents in a row, a Yankee gang member with strength, speed, and his rivalry led him out on his own.
It was a middle-aged man of the same height as him named William, with a delicate mustache, well-maintained skin, well-dressed, and a graceful demeanor, unlike most of the strong men in the Yankee Gang, he was more like a nobleman.
After Rodin had finished abusing the gang with his superior physique, the man appeared in front of him and challenged him.
He has a gentle demeanor to him, but Bald Hook also has a lot of respect for him, and the gang declares him the Yankee's No. 1 Swordsman.
It was a slender and slender stabbing sword, the style used by medieval European aristocrats for duels.
And "Erwin" is a two-handed sword made for the battlefield.
At the moment when the two swords clashed, the weak stabbing sword was not expected to be knocked away and cut off, as if the blade hit not a weapon, but a piece of cotton that was not forced, William's slender stabbing sword in his hand as if it was about to break at a touch lightly unloaded "Erwin", and the stabbing sword turned into a tricky and vicious snake, which was attached to his vital point like lightning.
Defeated with just one move, Rodin reluctantly went on to fight William ten more times, all of which were taught to be human without exception.
The gap between them is the same as that between Rodin and Fletcher.
William's face was gentle and unfazed during the whole process.
After using the bayonet sword, he switched to a regular one-handed sword to face Rodin.
This time, Rodin did not fall into a dead end in an instant like facing the bayonet, and fought against William for a while.
On the one hand, the momentum is strong and heavy, and the moves are simple and concise; on the other hand, they are warm and gentle, and they are old and strong.
The duel of swordsmanship is also a game of intelligence.
Rodin did his best with each sword, but he felt more and more that his sword style was traceable, and William often restrained his attack with a comfortable sword, and then struck back with lightning towards the weakest point of his defense.
Gradually, Rodin drew his sword more and more binding, as if there was an invisible net binding his body, and the more he struggled, the tighter it sticked.
William is like a steady and cunning hunting spider, who can break through the attack and retreat of his prey early, and he is cunning and calculating, leading his prey into a carefully woven web step by step, sticking to him, exhausting his physical strength and patience, and piercing his fangs into the vital point of the prey the moment he reveals his flaws.
The final outcome was already predestined, and Rodin lost eleven games in a row.
It's really a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and my heart is like ashes.
The swordsmanship he had practiced for more than half a year was so vulnerable in front of a true master.
William slowly withdrew the weapon that was pressing on Rodin's vital point, but saw that his opponent's eyes were gloomy and his expression was depressed.
I can't help but feel a little pity.
"At your age, your combat effectiveness is already quite good. But with all due respect, your swordsmanship foundation is relatively poor, and it seems that you have been practicing swords for less than a year. ”
"I'm more surprised that the sword stabbing and slashing practice is somewhat extraordinary, and I almost hit it several times, but unless the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, otherwise the sword duel is not a simple two swords to end. ”
"In general, your moves are too traceable and too violent, you must know to leave at least a little spare force in your sword to change your moves, otherwise it will be easy for the old and spicy opponent to catch your flaws through prediction"
Rodin was silent, and his heart was a little flustered.
"Despite the unsatisfactory ending, I don't think your swordsmanship path has gone wrong. ”
"However, before there is no absolute power suppression, it is necessary to practice more comprehensive swordsmanship, broaden your horizons, increase your experience, and exercise your sensitivity to swordsmanship. ”
"If you don't dislike it, we can talk to each other more. Although I don't have too many swordsmanship, I still have a few of the most comprehensive basic swordsmanship. ”
"You mean, you're willing to teach me swordsmanship?"
With a complicated feeling of excitement and depression, Rodin bowed respectfully to William, and the other party immediately returned the etiquette full of aristocratic demeanor.
On his eighth day with the Yankees, Rodin began to learn swordsmanship with William, along with Fletcher and more than a dozen gangsters.
At this time, Rodin realized that William still retained most of his strength when he fought against him and abused him completely, in fact, he was a bronze-level power who had awakened his "power", and he controlled the second-level "bloodline power", which was not something that Rodin could match with his physical strength alone.
In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, William demonstrated the power of "force" in public.
Blood-red flames spread from his gripping sword, covering the long blade in the blink of an eye.
As everyone held their breath and waited in anticipation, the slender stabbing sword stabbed at a brand-new steel sword leaning on the weapon rack.
Under the sword, the air stagnated, and the sharp sound of tearing through the air exploded.
Rodin felt a dazzling red light pass across his eyes, and then William cleanly sheathed his sword.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and on the immovable steel sword, a smooth round hole with the thickness of a finger that pierced the sword body suddenly appeared.
The power of a sword is so far.
Rodin was convinced, even if he had the same bayonet sword, he would not be able to achieve such a miraculous skill and strength control.
"Hey, learn swordsmanship from William, we can be so powerful in the future? When the time comes, I won't just pierce a sword, I'll pierce a wall, 2 meters thick, made of marble. ”
"You say yes, Rodin. Fletcher seemed to have drunk a large vat of Viggi, his face flushed, and his tone trembled slightly with excitement.
He didn't want to discourage Fletcher, but he still told the truth: "When I awaken the power of the bloodline, I will definitely not be inferior to him, but, your words-"
Slanted his eyes at Fletcher's fat face: "Let's practice the most basic breathing method first." “
Ignoring the self-pitying Fletcher, Rodin devoted his energy to the practice of swordsmanship.
Most of the gang followed William to practice the Iron Cross swordsmanship, which was suitable for one-handed swords and stabbing swords, which was the basic swordsmanship of the Sith Empire army, and almost all retired soldiers could master it proficiently.
As for Rodin, who used the two-handed sword "Elwin", William instructed him in another set of swordsmanship, the sword technique of chopping Lan, which was handed down by the soldiers who resisted the invasion of the dry tide on the border of the empire, and specialized in killing monsters.
Iron Cross and Chopping Lan are all swordsmanship with a relatively comprehensive routine sword style and foundation.
Chopping Lan fits Rodin's routine very well, and it is simply tailor-made for him.
The moves are wide open and closed, mainly chopping and slashing, assassination, but it is not blindly cold and hard, between the moves and the connection, pay attention to the strength of eight points, two points to stay, the offense and defense are well-founded, and the law is strict.
Its biggest feature is that each sword move has a complex muscular power technique. The power of the slashing sword technique covers most of the muscles of the arms, spine, waist, legs and other parts.
The more skillful the swordsman is at controlling his muscles, the more powerful the swordsmanship becomes.
And every bit of precise control is made up of muscle memories generated by tens of thousands of exercises, so this is an extremely sweaty swordsmanship, which attaches great importance to hard work, far beyond talent.
This set of swordsmanship is not a rare commodity, but it is easy to learn and difficult to master, and it is difficult to practice consistently, after daily swordsmanship practice, the muscle groups involved will be extremely sore, far beyond the ordinary level.
William mentioned how tolerant he was of pain, and Rodin smiled, believing that he would not fear any pain since the last time he had been bitten in the eye by a griffin.
From today onwards, in addition to the 2,000 fixed number of sword swings and the cultivation of "Long Yuan" every day, there is a new cultivation of swordsmanship.
The side effects of chopping Lan are worthy of the name, after one hour of practice each time, the pain is not strong, but the muscles of the whole body are sore, soft and numb, making people want to cry without tears. At this stage, Luo Dan did not rest immediately, but continued to quietly cultivate "Dragon Yuan".
Every time he was in an extreme physical state, he always forced himself to concentrate on practicing the breathing method, this mentality came from the time he was entangled with the water ghost and escaped death, and since then he has developed an almost pathological attachment to the breathing method in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that the 4 peculiar pronunciations of "dragon roar" have been asked from Fletcher. Every day is silent, and it is the time for him to turn into a dragon.
In just half a month, Rodin has become famous and popular in the Yankee gang.
There has always been a voice full of oppression in his heart,
Hard work is also a kind of genius, as long as there is no end to the practice, until the sword is pointed, invincible.
The excessive amount of cultivation made him feel extremely fulfilling, and it was also the foundation of his survival.
