Chapter Seventy-Eight: Gozzi's Swordsmanship Instruction
In the four or so years since the start of training, Ling Ze and his special group of seven people have basically been working behind closed doors.
Aside from the occasional sparring between a few people, they didn't have any chance to test their abilities.
It is definitely not possible to continue like this, after all, only in real combat can we quickly test our own shortcomings and make people grow up quickly.
In any case, the sparring between several of them has not yet reached the point of death, and it is mostly point-to-point, and the real actual combat is of little significance.
So Gozzi gave a task to the seven children of the special group, and he asked the seven children of the special group to hand in a sufficient quota of money every month, and these quotas had to be earned by their own efforts.
This effort can only be a legitimate effort, not like a robbery or something, of course, even if Gozzi doesn't say it, no one of them will really do that kind of thing.
However, having this restriction also means that there are not many options left for the seven people in the special selection group, because they can't spare so much time to make money, after all, they all still have heavy training tasks to complete.
They can only use their rest time and their scarce free time to try their luck on the Gobi Desert in the wilderness.
Of course, this great northwest is not all Gobi Desert, there will always be some mountains, forests, oases or something, in short, there are indeed enough places near this Longxi Village to allow the seven people of Ling Ze's special group to hunt.
Goziqi really took great pains when choosing the address of Longxi Village, and his task was obviously prepared for a long time.
Today is the first time that Ling Ze and Guy have come out to hunt, as Guy sighed, they are indeed very lucky, the two of them only swam in the Gobi Desert for a while, and they directly encountered a ground tiger sent to the door.
And the reason why Ling Ze was in a group with Guy was because they were simply grouped together.
Ling Ze divided the amount of money quota issued by Gozqi equally among everyone, and then considered that it was the first time for everyone to really go out to hunt, so he drew lots to divide them, so that everyone could at least have someone to take care of each other for the first time.
Two duos, one trio, Ling Ze and Guy in one group, Nahasho and Poni in one group, Red Hitomi, Tsukushi and Cornelia in one group.
When Ling Ze and Guy dragged the Earth Tiger back to Longxi Village, they first went to the village to exchange the Earth Tiger's skin for gold coins.
Although the sparrows in Longxi Village are small and have all the characteristics, they are reflected at this time, because there are also shops in Longxi Village that accept all the orders for luxury goods like tiger skins, which is not like a small village at all, but like a big town.
Ling Ze took a bag of gold coins in exchange for the Earth Tiger Skin, and returned to their base with Guy along with some of the better Earth Tiger meat he had specially left.
As expected, they were the fastest group, and the other two groups didn't know where they were now.
"Chef Neville, this is the meat of a fine adult Earth Tiger, I'll leave it to you for tonight's extra meal."
Ling Ze immediately went to the restaurant to find their chef and nutritionist and handed over the ground tiger meat he had left behind, while Chef Neville gave him a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.
Ling Zedu had already provided him with the raw materials, of course he would not refuse, and Chef Neville also had some ideas about cooking with tiger meat.
After all, the ground tiger is also a characteristic of the Great Northwest Region, and it will also be of some help to him to develop his own unique dishes.
"You two are pretty fast."
Seeing Ling Ze and Guy come back, Gozqi was also slightly surprised, after all, they hadn't been out for long.
"Haha, it's just luck, I just happened to run into a ground tiger, and I and Ling Ze worked together to kill and sell it for money."
Guy touched his head and responded to Gozzi with a smile, Ling Ze was unmoved by his words and did not demolish him.
"Oh? Ground Tiger? That's really good, it seems that Ling Ze's swordsmanship is getting better and better. ”
Gozzi immediately understood the truth of the matter, not that he looked down on Guy, but he was able to deduce the general truth of the matter from some subtle points.
For example, the money bag was held in Ling Ze's hands, and Ling Ze's meat was also given to Neville by Ling Ze, and Guy obviously had no right to distribute it.
Combined with the personalities of these two people, it is obvious that the Earth Tiger should have been solved by Ling Ze independently, and Guy may not have even helped at all.
"I need to work harder."
Hearing Gozqi's words, Ling Ze responded modestly, in fact, four years did not allow him to really reach a high level in the way of the sword, he was just strengthening himself through continuous hard training.
"Go to the kendo room and let me see how you're progressing now."
Gozqi ignored Ling Ze's modesty, but directly left a sentence and entered the dormitory building first.
Guy felt embarrassed, but he had always been thick-skinned, and he quickly adjusted himself.
Seeing Ling Ze follow Gozqi into the dormitory building, he didn't follow, after all, Gozqi didn't call him, so Guy went into the kitchen and went to chat with Chef Neville.
In the kendo room on the third floor of the dormitory building, Gozqi and Ling Ze stood opposite each other, Gozqi didn't put on any posture, just stood there casually.
It was Ling Ze's body that began to tense, this was not the first time Gozqi had guided him through actual combat, but the last time was half a year ago.
After all, if he doesn't grow up, even if Gozzi trains with him every day, he won't have anything to guide.
"Let's take a look at the draw knife first, and try both the forehand and the backhand."
Gozqi stood in place, he gave the order, and Ling Ze moved closer to Gozqi.
"Boom!"
Ling Ze, who was close to Gozqi with a cane in his right hand, suddenly drew a knife with his left hand and slashed at Gozqi, which was a forehand slash.
The cane knife [Xuelan] drew a strange arc and slashed diagonally towards Gozqi's chest, if this knife was hit, it would not be a problem to directly disembowel the person.
However, Gozqi only moved slightly, and easily dodged Ling Ze's blow.
"The forehand is still slow, but the strange path of the left hand can be used as a surprise weapon, and the right hand can be changed."
Gozqi easily dodged the knife and made his evaluation and next request, Ling Ze nodded, and changed to his right hand to come again.
"This time the speed is fast enough, but the weirdness is not enough, but it doesn't matter, the pursuit of pulling out the knife and slashing is a fast word, and the person who cuts the other party first is naturally the winner."
After Gozzi's evaluation, Ling Ze showed the left hand and right hand "backhand slash" respectively, in terms of speed, the "backhand slash" still surpassed the forehand slash, Gozzi expressed satisfaction with his mastery.
"Then let's try your combat ability and draw your sword as a starting point, but if you can't win with one hit, the rest of the battle will continue."
Gozqi pulled out the imperial tool [One Slash Kill Village Rain] on his waist, and his body began to exude a rich murderous aura, which was like a substantial murderous aura that pressed Ling Ze's heart coldly.
