Chapter 7: Basic Swordsmanship

Elena is not a good teacher, more accurately she is not a teacher at all, and her teaching methods are poor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But this obviously can't extinguish Makoto's enthusiasm for learning swords, or Makoto's resentment for weakness.

It's just basic swordsmanship, but Makoto still practices like he's got a peerless cheat.

Although he does not need to sleep or eat now.

Elena was satisfied, and then practiced swordsmanship next to her, which even a layman like Makoto could see was completely unproficient.

'Not even skilled in swordsmanship, is this guy really a knight?, and is that kind of ornate armor that is more like decoration just decoration?' Makoto thought more than once.

However, no matter how bad Elena's level is, at least it is higher than Makoto, so even though Makoto keeps complaining in his heart, he has never stopped practicing swordsmanship.

For the young people of the Celestial Empire, who have inevitably watched several martial arts movies and television since childhood, they all have a love for martial arts and martial arts in their bones, which is a kind of cultural edification.

Makoto is no exception, although it is only basic swordsmanship, but the enthusiasm in his heart seems to be extinguished.

After all, you can't let a warrior in heavy armor teach you magic.

Of course, that's not the point.

Well, he did have some curiosity about magic, but that didn't stop him from practicing swords.

......

Ten days later, Elena, who was tired of practicing early, stopped Makoto, who was still swinging the sword mechanically, and said strangely: "Don't you feel tired of swinging the sword like this, don't you feel annoyed?"

Makoto withdrew the crude handmade wooden sword that had been sent out to Xiang Hui, took a deep breath, relaxed, and replied, "I'm doing a test." ”

"Testing?"

Nodding his head, Makoto replied, "Test yourself when you get bored and when you want to give up." ”

"The result?"

Makoto showed a confused expression and replied, "It should be a long time, because I hardly feel any difference between myself and when I first started learning, as if my enthusiasm has not been consumed at all." ”

Elena was surprised: "How is it possible!"

For Elena, who gave up after not practicing for long, Makoto's words were simply ******.

After a little hesitation, Makoto replied, "After all, I'm not human anymore." ”

As a result, the two were silent.

And unlike Elena's sorrow, Makoto is more of a worry that arises from modern thinking, and for him, the passion that cannot be eliminated is essentially equivalent to a kind of loss of control of feelings, and he naturally thinks of the disadvantages when the benefits are reflected.

If this passion counts as an emotion, an obsession, what about the others?

How much will the ability to choose and judge be affected by the emotions of likes and dislikes, the mentality of laziness and diligence, the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and so many other reasons and emotions that are intertwined?

Makoto doesn't know, or even wants to know.

At least I didn't go in a bad direction, I fell into this world, I became a ghost, I was eroded by the power of death, even if I experienced something that should be hopeless and painful, but I didn't have the slightest sign of going in a bad direction, whether it was talent, luck or miracle, but at least it proved that things should not go in a bad direction. He thought so.

I don't know if it's talent, luck or miracle, maybe the power really exists, just a little thought, the haze in Makoto's heart began to dissipate. Before Elena recovered from his sadness, he was already relieved at will.

So casual that he didn't even notice it.

Shaking off the rough wooden sword in his hand, Makoto said to Elena, who was still grieving: "I have completely mastered the basic swordsmanship, and even I think that if my own basic swordsmanship level is improved, it should no longer be regarded as basic swordsmanship." ”

Makoto's arrogance broke Elena's state, she looked at the wooden sword in Makoto's hand, and then at Makoto's confident eyes, and struck, "Even if you have been practicing before, you shouldn't use the word to fully master." ”

"Basic swordsmanship is just a simple sword movement technique, each of his sword moves is not clever and complicated, compared with advanced swordsmanship, his power skills, sword movement direction, body posture are not perfect, and even compared with some swordsmanship can be regarded as wrong. ”

He paused, and then said: "Ordinary people practice swords, what they practice is the body's adaptation and habits, so that the body can adapt to the action of swinging the sword, and let every muscle that moves because of the swinging of the sword adapt to this set of actions, so that the reaction of the sword swing is faster, the speed is faster, and the strength is stronger. ”

He raised the sword in his hand to his chest, and swung fifteen swords forward in an instant, each sword was the most standard basic swordsmanship, and when he took the sword back, he stared at Elena and said: "Now my body is special, a set of movements can basically form a conditioned reflex without ten times, and twenty times can basically exert the effect to the limit." Now it's just a reaction to the actual combat. ”

Elena seemed to be devastated by the fact that she found that the basic swordsmanship she had practiced for a long time in her memory did not yet have the standard that Makoto had made.

She snorted lightly and said, "Basic swordsmanship is not as simple as you think. ”

But where the specific complexity is, this thing that even she doesn't know is obviously impossible to say.

Cheng chuckled lightly and replied: "Then it's not a basic swordsmanship, but a Dugu Nine Swords, after all, if the basic swordsmanship has a strong lethality, then wouldn't the position of those high-level swordsmanship be very embarrassing, and if the basic swordsmanship is very smart, then it can't be regarded as a basic swordsmanship, but a high-level swordsmanship called basic swordsmanship." Otherwise, it doesn't make sense logically. ”

Cheng comes from modern times, and he only loves swordsmanship but has no awe in his head, so it has been determined from the first day when he got the basic swordsmanship, this thing is really just the foundation, it may be able to connect most swordsmanship cultivation, but it is by no means a very lethal and efficient swordsmanship. Even from the perspective of conditioned reflexes, when the basic swordsmanship really goes deep into the bone marrow, it will become a shackle to learn other swordsmanship.

Maybe there are really some beings who can rely on the basic swordsmanship to get stronger all the time, but if there are still people who insist that it is still the original basic swordsmanship, then it is definitely a problem with their brains and they are not saved.

If it weren't for the fact that Tiancheng didn't know what kind of nerves he had and suddenly wanted to see how long he could last, maybe he would have asked Elena to teach him other swordsmanship on the first day.

Although Elena didn't know what Dugu Nine Swords was, she thought that it should be the swordsmanship in the Taihua Kingdom where Cheng was before her death, so she snorted again to express her dissatisfaction.

She looked at Cheng who was looking forward to it, hesitated slightly, and finally sighed helplessly, and said, "Then I'll teach you the Flying Feather Talisman Sword Technique I practiced before." ”

Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Flying Feather?"

He looked at Elena's heavy armor and the matching heavy sword, and suddenly understood why Elena's movements were always so awkward before, at first he thought it was due to unfamiliarity, but now it seems that it is because of the mismatched equipment, as if a person who should have worn leather armor has put on heavy armor.

Elena sighed a little helplessly and said, "Only the basic swordsmanship and the flying feather talisman swordsmanship are complete in my head now, and the rest are just fragmentary memories. ”

Speaking of memory loss, Elena's mood was obviously getting worse and worse, and Cheng hurriedly replied when she saw this: "Then the Flying Feather Talisman Sword Technique is good, it just so happens that I prefer skill-based swordsmanship." ”
