Chapter 8: Defeat the First Victory
In the blink of an eye, time passed on the eve of the start of school.
In two months, Feng Longde has been completely reborn.
In the courtyard, a sturdy young German stood in front of Caroline, his strong muscles rising up one by one, like a thousand tempered steel-this is Feng Longde, who has completed the task of training his physique in two months.
A large amount of aerobic exercise every day, coupled with extremely long combat skills training, and maybe because of the effect of his own bloodline, Feng Longde lost more than seventy catties of fat in two months.
After completely becoming a thin man, Feng Longde's weight gradually increased after uninterrupted combat skill training, and this time, it was no longer fat that increased, but strong muscles. When his weight rose to about one hundred and fifty catties, Feng Longde's body shape was completely finalized.
With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, muscles all over his body, and a hard-line face after eliminating pimples after paying attention to personal hygiene under the supervision of Caroline, Feng Longde is no longer a simple-looking dead house, but more like a Nordic man who came out of the ice and snow.
"Tomorrow when school returns, can I suspend training?" Thinking that he needed to pack up a lot of homework, and then looking at Caroline in front of him with a knight's armor pestle in place, Feng Longde felt that the nerves he had been tense had been stretched to the limit.
If you change a person, you can't play games, watch anime, or go to comic conventions for two whole months, and you have to do a lot of training when you're almost awake, and if he's not crazy, he's not human. This kind of day, which was far more terrifying than the military training of the Celestial Empire, Feng Longde survived.
There is no other reason, because the military training of the Celestial Empire is useless, but Caroline's hellish training can really make him stronger.
While feeling the change in his body being much stronger and sharper than before, Feng Longde waited for Caroline's answer.
"As long as you finish a small training session that doesn't take much time, you can stop your training. Caroline shrugged, "Anyway, this is a long-term thing, it's not something that needs to be done right away like going to the toilet, you can start when you want and end it whenever you want, after all, what you want to do, the initiative is in your own hands." ”
"Well, what kind of training?"
"Do you know the difference between martial arts and combat skills?"
Caroline's emotionless voice, which was almost completely different from usual, made Feng Longde's pupils instantly dilute: "What's the difference?"
When he was a child, Feng Longde was not taught a few martial arts skills by his parents who had not passed away at the time, but because his parents were also poor and bored, they taught some simple moves indiscriminately, and they also belonged to letting children play around, so Feng Longde basically forgot about it now.
But when she heard the term combat skill from Caroline's mouth, Feng Longde's curiosity was aroused.
"The difference between martial arts and combat skills is very big, martial arts pay more attention to skills, pay attention to the coherence and flexible changes between moves, but combat skills focus on simple, direct, ferocious, come and go these few times, but the moves are fatal. ”
"Combat skills believe that weapons are an extension of the body, and the pursuit is to turn weapons into a part of the body, as flexible as one's own hands and feet. Caroline's sword followed the movements of her master's fingers in a variety of difficult and uncanny movements, as if it were like her master's mind.
"Combat skills are inseparable from three elements: fast, accurate, and ruthless. Fast and ruthless complement each other, the faster the speed, the greater the destructive power, but fast and accurate contradict each other. ”
"A lot of people can be accurate if you do it slowly, but it's not very destructive. Therefore, the first step in learning combat skills is to achieve accuracy at high speeds. ”
Feng Longde nodded in realization.
Caroline continued: "There are many ways to hold a sword, and each has its own merits. As she spoke, Caroline walked up to Feng Longde, who saw that her right hand holding the sword was pressed with the thumb of her hand, the index finger was buckled, and the other three fingers were lightly holding the hilt of the sword, "This method is called clasp grip, and the power is mainly concentrated on the thumb and index finger, which can have more room for change and remain flexible." As she spoke, Caroline shook her sword in her hand.
I saw her thumb pressing the hilt of the sword, her index finger clasping the other side, and the other three fingers holding it weakly, and the index finger and thumb pressed up and down, and the tip of the sword immediately shook up and down.
However, this method has a big disadvantage, that is, all the power is concentrated between the two fingers, and the requirements for the finger force are very high. In addition, there is the full grip, four fingers hold the hilt, the thumb pressed against the index finger, this way of holding the sword is most conducive to chopping, because you can use all the power in the hand. After that, it's the reverse grip. With that, Caroline's fingers flickered, and the sword turned in one direction, holding it in her hand, "The backgrip can make your attacks more tricky and unguardable." ”
"Each sword grip has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you need to change as quickly as possible in battle. While explaining, Caroline slashed in front of her with a full-grip method, and then quickly changed her hand and reversed her grip, and the blade of the sword slashed upward, and the speed of the two attacks was so fast that people couldn't see it clearly.
Feng Longde memorized Caroline's explanation attentively, and kept practicing these sword holding methods in his hands.
"The sword is double-sided, the blade is long and the back is flat, which is conducive to chopping, so most of the swordsmanship is a chopping move. Chopping, stabbing, slashing, sweeping, and flirting are the most basic movements in swordsmanship, and any swordsmanship is inseparable from these five movements, and it can even be said that the so-called swordsmanship is a combination of these five movements. After practicing these five movements to the point of being superb, every gesture is swordsmanship. All I'll teach you is how to practice these five movements to become proficient. After Caroline finished speaking, her eyes under the visor were fixed on Feng Longde. Although Feng Longde couldn't see his expression clearly, the meaning in his eyes was clear: "Do you understand?"
Feng Longde nodded, Caroline said it very plainly and easily, he naturally understood, but in his heart he felt that this was too simple.
Caroline seemed to see his doubts, and said seriously: "The sword is not used to speak, but to practice." ”
Feng Longde was stunned in his heart, and he was even more puzzled that this sentence was really a bit profound, and he didn't understand it very well.
"Just like the previous month's training, you went from a novice who had a sore hand in holding a sword for more than ten minutes to a veteran who can now slash effortlessly and vigorously. As long as you completely turn all your sword moves into your instinct and treat weapons as a part of your body, it means that your training has begun to pay off. ”
After listening to Caroline's explanation, Feng Longde suddenly realized: after the hell training in the past month, he could use all his strength to split a sword, and the blade of the sword accurately passed through the gap between the stakes and stopped steadily in the middle. You know, the gap between the stakes is only a little wider than the sword, but there is still a fraction of a millimeter between the sword and the stake.
Looking at Feng Longde's clear appearance, Caroline nodded and said, "Brother, I have nothing more to teach you." ”
Feng Longde was stunned when he heard this: "That's the end of learning, I don't feel much stronger." ”
"Of course not, even if you practice these few moves to the point where you are superb, unless your enemy is a stake that will stand still and let you cut it, it is useless to hit people. The next training you learn is how to be flexible and flexible. But no one can teach you these two things, and you can only rely on you to understand them in actual combat. Defeat me, and you'll be out of the ranks. After Caroline finished speaking, two swords condensed by black mist appeared on her hands, one straight and one backward in her hands.
Feng Longde was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened: Caroline is a guy who accompanied the birth and disappearance of the Teutonic Empire, and the long years have brought her not only amazing memories, but also the accumulation of various combat experiences
Isn't it tireless to let a rookie swordsman like himself who has just learned some combat skills challenge this old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years and who may have killed more people than he has eaten?
☆
Is this really a "little training" that "doesn't take much time"?
Feng Longde took a deep breath, directly gathered his sword in both hands above his head, and slashed at Caroline with all his strength from top to bottom.
Faced with the slashing blade, Caroline just stared at the blade steadily. When the long sword was about to slash her, Caroline stepped sideways, suddenly dodged Feng Longde's attack, and then swung a sword with her backhand,
All his strength was exerted on the slash, and Feng Longde, who had no time to retract his strength, could only watch as the blade of the sword was pressed against his throat.
"Unless you're sure of killing, don't use all your might, as this will make you lose the power of your defenses, and if you miss, you'll die, unless your armor is completely unafraid of attack. Caroline exclaimed.
Feng Longde nodded in agreement, and once again swept at Caroline with all his might.
This time Caroline dodged his attack with ease, and then the hilt of her sword slammed into Von Longde's abdomen.
"You can't use the light power in one attack, you have to leave a point to deal with the mutation. ”
"Advance and retreat must be evidence-based, don't just advance and not retreat"
"Don't keep splitting and sweeping, combine the four moves at will, don't let the opponent figure out your routine. ”
Actual combat is really the best way. While practicing, Caroline pointed out Feng Longde's shortcomings, so that Feng Longde gradually learned to refine - the power control of each move should be just right, and at the same time, the footsteps should be flexible and the movements should be matched with footwork, which can achieve better results. In actual combat, Feng Longde accumulated experience little by little, and slowly held on under Caroline for more and more time.
After more than an hour of actual combat, Feng Longde was already able to easily block Caroline's attacks, and he could also counterattack from time to time.
After being overwhelmingly abused by Caroline a few times, Feng Longde found that he had really gotten into the horns of the bull - the mission was to defeat Caroline, and he didn't say how to defeat her!
Caroline can be said to be stronger than Feng Longde's body strength, soul strength is stronger than Feng Longde's, and even the defensive strength of the armor is much stronger than the chain armor on Feng Longde's body - but the only drawback is that Caroline's speed is a little slower than Feng Longde's, and I don't know if it's because of the cumbersome plate armor on her body.
So when Feng Longde found that he couldn't defeat Caroline in the usual way, he began to develop his own style of obscene tactics.
Feng Longde, who had been completely slimmed down, had his own speed increased a lot, and in order to make his speed advantage more obvious, Feng Longde simply took off his chain armor and helmet and went directly into battle.
Caroline was obviously stunned for a moment when she looked like she was about to do a striptease - but by the time she reacted, all that was left of Feng Longde's original standing position was a pile of chain mail and a barrel helmet, and the person had already slipped out to the courtyard wall.
Although with his strength, Feng Longde is definitely hopeless for victory, but in this hour, his combat skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and now it is difficult for Caroline to kill him with one blow.
Caroline's weakness is obvious, that is, she is one step slower than Feng Longde in terms of speed, and if she can't defeat Feng Longde in a very short time, then Feng Longde will be in a stalemate with her.
In a sense, Feng Longde is already invincible.
After fighting for a while, Caroline found that she couldn't even learn how to learn how to remove Feng Longde's armor and travel lightly - whenever Caroline wanted to disassemble the plate armor on her body, Feng Longde rushed over and slashed with a long sword, and when Caroline shifted her attention and was about to start beating, Feng Longde smeared oil on the soles of her feet and walked aside
"Kill!" When Caroline began to react a little sluggishly due to the emotional impact, Feng Longde roared angrily and rushed over with both swords in his hand
Caroline hurriedly crossed her twin swords in front of her, and when there was a sound, she took two steps back, and Feng Longde, who had already fallen to the ground, had already rushed forward with a long sword in his right hand and a long sword with one hand.
Caroline, who was shocked by the downward split, was getting harder and harder to block and counterattack, and the nearly two-hour battle didn't make Caroline too hard, but the way it made people jump on their feet was draining people's spirits.
After Feng Longde's straight stab was blocked again, Caroline didn't have time to withdraw her twin swords, and she was kicked in the crotch.
Although Caroline was a girl, she instinctively shifted her defense to the lower plate when she received a heavy blow to her crotch.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Longde choked Caroline's throat with his left hand, and the blade of the long sword in his right hand was stuck on the peep slit of the visor - after the previous few successful attacks, Feng Longde found that the armor defense shrouded in black mist on Caroline's body was too perverted, and there was not even a sword mark on the powerful and deep blow, so Feng Longde changed the target to the peep slit of the visor.
Caroline, who was threatened with life, also stopped moving, and she said word by word: "You win, you can move freely at any time." ”
Feng Longde breathed a sigh of relief, and after lowering his weapon as well, he rubbed his sore shoulders and wrists, began to pick up the chain mail and barrel helmet on the ground, and then returned home with Caroline.
