Chapter 41

Catherine thought for a moment and gave her own advice: "If time is pressing, then my advice is to start with the Sword of the Sage." ”

"Your reflexes are so quick that even without special training, you can still dodge the stabbing of the crystal sword that I have slowed down a bit. This shows that your physical coordination and mental and physical fit are good, but at the same time, your current strength and physique are still insufficient, and it is obviously not suitable for you to immediately learn and master the two swordsmanship of Jundao and Tianzhu, which require a strong physique to master. ”

Catherine's statement was straightforward, but for Gustav it undoubtedly pointed the way forward.

"The Sword of the Sage, which can be literally translated as 'Sage of the Sword' in our Gustan Dynasty, may have a similar meaning to the rank of Sword Saint. Well, you said that you are a member of the mountains and seas, and according to what you say, it may make sense to call you the 'Grandmaster of the Sword'. This is a very skillful swordsmanship, if you can quickly master it and use it in actual combat, it will have a good role in promoting future swordsmanship learning. ”

Catherine went on to describe to Gustav the form of the swordsmen who practiced the Sage's Sword: they disdained to use any heavy armor, and were often dressed in rough cloth or civilian clothes, often with only a single sword of good material. Agility, but unlike some stealth classes in the Wanderer, which rely on suppressive aura for covert behavior, this agility allows them to navigate more open-minded combat.

How do you feel that there is a kind of meaning in it, 'the only martial arts in the world is fast and unbreakable'? While Gustav was thinking about it, Catherine continued: "Pick up your training sword, I can only take you to the Sage Sword, because the goal I have set for myself is the sword of the military path. After that, you'll have to look in Radfarr to see if there are any masters who have also learned and trained the Sage's Sword. ”

So how exactly should you train in swordsmanship?

Gustav knew that in many cases, his understanding of swordsmanship was limited to what was described in the novel. In his impression, the two learning methods he could think of were either seeing everything in the flow of comprehension, or watching the experience bar increase little by little after swinging the sword and slashing in the game, slowly upgrading the basic swordsmanship to advanced swordsmanship. But obviously, real-world sword training is much more strenuous and tedious than that.

"First of all, we have to train the movement to disassemble. Catherine explained, "A lot of times, you see those warriors who use swordsmanship very calmly, even with a brutal beauty. But when I made it myself, it was very stiff and awkward. This is a sign of not following the steps of hand and foot coordination during training. A simple swordsmanship movement is often formed by a combination of hand movements and foot movements, no matter what kind of person you are, even if you are a talented learner, you must standardize the movement dismantling and learning at the beginning. ”

"After that, it was followed by mixed training. The Sword of the Sage contains quite a few steps, about twenty types, and more than a dozen hand movements. Even according to the principle of all-assigned exercises, you should maintain muscle repetition training at least three times a day. ”

Gustav's math was still at a good level, and he began to calculate in his heart.

There are twenty kinds of footwork, and there are more than ten kinds of sword movements in the hand, so there are at least ...... More than 300 permutations? All of a sudden, Gustav felt a little dizzy in his brain.

This is only the introductory method of the Sword of the Sage, if the Sword of Heavenly Punishment and the Sword of the Military Dao maintain the same amount of learning as the Sword of the Sage, the combination of the three, the time and energy required for training is really massive and cumbersome!

Catherine looked at Gustav, who was suddenly silent, frowned and asked, "You flinched?"

For Catherine, Gustav maintained a kind of respect. But no matter how eccentric she is, she is still a beautiful person of the opposite sex. No male creature can say 'no' in front of a female creature!

"No, I'm just speechless with excitement!" Gustav clenched his left hand into a fist.

In this moment, he remembered the humiliation he had received from the Children of the Night yesterday, and the oppression of the imminent Chloe. Gako's ugly face was right in front of him, and the arrogance and cruelty of the Shadow Warrior, and ...... The powerlessness of the sixty silver Nick that he had earned in exchange for his labor was robbed of it.

I need strength, whether it's the power of a warfighter or the power of an Arcanist!

Sword of the Sage, I come, I see, I conquer!

............

"Keep your upper body straight!" Catherine was on the side directing Gustav's training. "Be careful, your body must be at its most tense at all times. If you have achieved swordsmanship in the future, of course, you can use it with a freewheeling attitude. But now, you have to make sure that every foot movement is precise and in place!"

Gustav's feet were straight, and he almost felt like his stomach was cramping. His body began to tremble slightly, apparently unstable.

"The body can better promote muscle development after excessive fatigue. Catherine had no intention of letting Gustav rest, and in the extra sword training, she fulfilled the task of an instructor with great competence. "Even if you have cramps, you have to straighten and push hard. ”

Step forward, step back, step left, step right, turn around, and retreat continuously...... The basic tenets of these sage's swords were taken out one by one and began to be instilled in Gustav, who had no foundation.

His movements are a bit jerky and even bulky, because some of Gustav's muscles are not well trained to support the movements. As long as you can persevere, your skill will improve rapidly, your feet will be more powerful, and your movements will become more and more brisk.

Gustav's body was soaked with sweat, making his clothes a little transparent.

Physically tired, consciousness became clearer, and Gustav's miraculous brain began to work, analyzing and correcting certain movements.

Gustav, who has a photographic memory, has a stronger advantage than ordinary fighters at this time, and his progress is simply visible to the naked eye.

This time, I didn't have enough precision to step left, and I stepped out a little more, which led to a change in the rhythm of the follow-up pedal...... When you step back, you should have your horns on tiptoe and hit the ground, so that you can react as quickly as a spring...... It's the same when stepping forward, even if the leg muscles are not strong enough, but always maintain that flexible state, let yourself adapt and let the muscles remember...... The angle of turning should not exceed plus or minus three degrees, otherwise, the sense of direction will be very affected, which is very fatal in battle......

Gustav's brain has been baptized by the Night Mother's curse, and has greatly increased its tolerance for pain from the nerves, which is an unexpected curse 'positive buff'. Many exercises are the same, at the beginning of the lactic acid accumulation may be painful, but after the adaptation to the rhythm of accumulation, you can enter a better training state.

Gustav is like this now, the fluctuation of the excitement foci suppresses the feedback of the pain nerves, maybe he will be too sore to get out of bed tonight, but at least now he enjoys the wonderful feeling of improving his swordsmanship.

In Gustav's time on Earth, a ball game star who was good at striking iron once said, "Have you ever seen the sun at four o'clock in the morning?" Gustav didn't see it, but he knew that might be a nice view.

Gradually, Catherine's face became strange and surprised. She couldn't help biting her lower lip, as if she was a little puzzled by Gustav's current state. There were a lot of comforting words that had been prepared, but now it seems that there is no room for use.
