Chapter 8: Sword Practice
After Li Jun heard this, he was secretly surprised, the sword cultivation talent that Bick said should be related to the innate root bone, the stronger and stronger the innate root bone, the higher the degree of talent should be.
For example, some strong men in previous lives could easily lift a boulder and pull a bus. But no matter how hard others exercise their muscles, they only add a little strength and exercise their bodies to an impeccable edges and corners.
And those strong men, with a little practice, can constantly challenge the limits of the human body, and the reason for this depends on the natural root bones. The level of medical care and technology in previous lives cannot be replicated at all.
Li Jun has been very strong since he was a child, and he has very few fevers and colds throughout the year, and he has not even caught a cold once in five years.
A big man of 1.80 meters, broad shoulders, and a bit of a tiger's waist, in the crowd of people in his previous life, he belonged to a strong man who was slightly sideways.
But on the Canaan Continent of this other world, Li Jun's root bone talent was only sixty-three! It was barely up to the standard.
Li Jun looked at a thin mercenary with a suspicious look in his eyes, he was also a swordsman, skinny and bony, as if a gust of wind could blow him.
"Hey, friend, don't look at me, although you see that I look very thin, but my strength is not inferior to anyone's. The mercenary smiled, picked up a rock, and slammed it.
With a "rattle", the surface of the stone was suddenly covered with turtle patterns, and then a large number of stone chips flowed out of the thin mercenary's hands.
"Being tall and short, fat and thin, can't decide everything, after all, swordsmen are not mortals. Due to the difference in cultivating swordsmanship, some people choose strong and calm swordsmanship, which naturally grows on the back of a tiger, while some people choose dexterous and light swordsmanship, and there is naturally not much flesh on the body, like a skin and bone, but its explosive power should not be underestimated. "Vic Road.
Li Jun was slightly stunned, and then smiled at Bick: "I've been taught." ”
"Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, report to the Snow Storm Mercenary Group on time. If you don't have any tasks, I'll teach you swordsmanship, but if an employer hires us, you have to go out. I'm sorry then, but I can't teach you swordsmanship until I come back. "Vic Road.
Li Jun said without thinking: "Okay, no problem." As long as you can teach me to be a swordsman. ”
Vic blinked his eyes and said: "You are really a greedy person, whether you can become a swordsman, I dare not guarantee that every swordsman, but they are all holding the iron sword in their hands, step by step blood seal killing, I can teach you, only some basic skills and swordsmanship." ”
When Li Jun heard this, his voice suddenly became sharp, and he said, "Thirty years of whiskey! There are four silver coins!, but you tell me that you can only teach me some basic skills and swordsmanship?"
Vic spread his hands innocently and took the bottle of thirty-year-old whiskey on the table into his arms, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by Li Jun.
"I said before, if you want to learn swordsmanship, I suggest you buy a copy of the "Swordsmanship Basics" notebook and read it first, but you don't listen, and insist that I teach you. ”
"I heard that in the entire town of Weiss, your swordsmanship is enough to rank in the top three, so I came here. I hope you can teach me something that is not available in basic swordsmanship, otherwise, you think I will be generous enough to spend four silver coins to buy only one bottle of wine?" Li Jun has a very ugly face now, and he can squeeze out water with a gloomy face.
"Friend, you have to figure it out, I'm a poor guy too. From scratch, it took twenty years of self-study to reach this state and become the leader of a mercenary group of several hundred people...... Naturally, though, this thirty-year-old bottle of whisky won't let you spend in vain. Although I don't have a brilliant and powerful sword skill to teach you, I can teach you all the survival skills and life experience I have. "Vic Road.
After Li Jun heard this, he could only nod helplessly, shrugged his head, and sighed. Anyone can see how unhappy this young yellow man is.
"Hahahaha, don't always have a sad face, what's the matter with a sad look at a young age? Look, isn't there a girl with a whooping ass who was scared away by you. Vic laughed and patted Li Jun on the shoulder, poured a full glass of wine, and pushed it in front of Li Jun.
Soon, there was a hearty burst of laughter in the tavern.
Night, for the town of Vess, there is never a moment of peace, in the tavern, on the streets, full of mercenaries, adventurers, etc.
In a few remote alleys, seductive gasps are heard from time to time, making people reverie.
............
When he woke up, Li Jun rubbed his aching brain and looked at his watch, it was already half past six.
Looking around, Vic and the others had already left, and the pretty proprietress in the tavern was sleeping in a charming position, boldly exposing a large part of her chest, revealing her fair body, white and shiny, and a little pink.
Li Jun retracted his gaze, put on a look of a decent man who did not squint, drank a bowl of water, and went straight to the station of the snowstorm mercenary group.
At seven o'clock, Li Jun arrived on time, looked at Bick, who was already waiting in a clearing, couldn't help grinning, and asked, "It seems that you are quite confident in me, knowing that I will come on time." ”
"No, no, no, in fact, you drank so much for the first time last night, I thought you would sleep until the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come over on time. It's amazing to me. Your father must have been a drunken drunkard. Vick sighed.
With that, Vic pulled out a heavy iron sword from a shelf and threw it over.
Li Jun hurriedly stretched out his hands and took it, only to feel that his arms sank, and this iron sword was unusually heavy.
"Every morning at seven o'clock, I go to a place where no one is on time to practice my sword, do you see that stone? Vic pointed to a large rock not far away.
Li Junding looked at it and found that there was nothing unusual about the big stone except that it was covered with dense sword marks on the surface.
"You don't have to wonder, just pick up the sword in your hand and slash a sword on a boulder. ”
Li Jun nodded, found a stone, raised the iron sword in his hand, and suddenly slashed down.
Bang!
It was not so much a split, but rather relying on the weight of the iron sword, it smashed down directly, directly on the stone, smashing a big dent, and there were crack-like marks around it.
"This ......" Li Jun compared the boulder that Bick cleaved, and found that the boulder split by the latter's iron sword did not have any dents, only small and even, and dense chopping marks!
"The same stone, the same quality of the sword, but instead of a sword, you take a long iron lump, and use brute force and the weight attached to the long iron lump to smash a stone...... Boy, don't underestimate the basic skills, a basic skill is enough for you to eat for ten years!"
After Li Jun heard this, his heart suddenly froze, looking at the stone he smashed with a long iron lump, and then at the stone that Bick split with his sword, and for a while, he was silent.
"Don't feel like I'm taking advantage of you, a basic skill in swordsmanship is enough to beat that thirty-year-old bottle of whiskey. "Vic Road.
"Ten years! Ten years later, I will be twenty-eight years old, could it be that at that time, I will be able to step into the realm of sword servants?" Li Jun said with a wry smile.
"Everything has a gradual process, even if it is a demonic genius, practicing swords at the age of three, at least ten years old can step into the realm of swordsman. You're starting too late, if only you could have started early. "Vic Road.
In fact, Li Jun was not discouraged except for some unwillingness. The system he cultivated was summoning. The domesticated sixty yellow scale bees can basically sweep the characters below the swordsman.
Li Jun practiced swordsmanship, in addition to enhancing his physique and exercising his body, and then he wanted to have an extra layer of life-saving and self-defense techniques, in case one day, limited to a special environment, the summoning technique failed, or could not be used, with powerful swordsmanship, he could also keep his body safe.
~~~
"Drink!"
"Hah!"
Li Junchi wore his upper body, like a fool, and kept shouting "heha".
Bick said: Only in this way can he have more momentum to urge his spirit to tighten a string and devote himself to the sword in his hand, so as to achieve the realm of emptiness.
Both arms were already extremely sore, this iron sword was too heavy, and a few simple swings were fine, but after a long time of slashing like this, it felt like both arms were about to fall off.
"Your arm strength is good, but it's okay for a short burst, and once the burst is over, you'll be like a big smoker. Vic sarcastically said.
Li Jun clenched his teeth, and beads of sweat the size of beans ran down his cheeks, flowed through his jaw, and fell to the ground drop by drop.
It took an hour for Bick to let Li Jun put down his sword and go to rest for a while.
Li Jun was lying on the ground, panting heavily, moving his arms, but he didn't react, feeling that the souls in his arms had flown away and were no longer his own.
Bick threw Li Jun a wine jug, snorted his mouth, and said: "Count you lucky, when I first started practicing swords, how could I have the conditions to buy medicine and wine to drink, it all relied on my inhuman will and persevered." ”
Li Jun also took a big sip of medicinal wine unceremoniously, and in an instant, there were two warm currents flowing through the two arms, and the soreness suddenly went to five or six out of ten.
"I bought this pot of medicinal wine from the black-hearted priest in the church for a silver coin, if you want to drink medicinal wine every day, this tuition, a bottle of thirty-year-old whiskey is not enough. Vic rubbed his fingers at Li Jun with a very merciful face.
When Li Jun heard this, he immediately took out two gold coins from his arms and threw them into Bick's hand.
Vic's eyes flashed slightly, his expression suddenly froze, and he said calmly: "The first rule of survival, never put on a very arrogant appearance in front of people you don't know, or even people you have just familiarized! Do you know that there is a saying called: wealth is not exposed?"
Li Jun pretended to be shocked, shrunk his body, and said, "What, do you want to kill me and rob me of my money?"
"I'm willing to do this, but it's not a good deal to ruin my reputation for decades for a few gold coins," Bick said. ”
After Li Jun heard this, a little bit of a narrow look appeared on his face, and he asked, "How many gold coins are there to be worth it for you to ruin your reputation and kill people and sell goods?"
Vic thought seriously for a while, and then said: "One hundred gold coins! After all, my net worth is only about seven hundred gold coins." ”
Li Jun was stunned, and the look on his face suddenly disappeared, just because his net worth was about a hundred gold coins......
"Li Jun, what's wrong with you? You really have a hundred gold coins on you, right?" Vic's eyes narrowed, he was worthy of being the mercenary leader who was wandering between the demonic beasts and humans, and he suddenly guessed one or two from the change in Li Jun's expression.
