Chapter 19: Practice
"Jiayi, your book is starting to sell, aren't you going to read it?"
Selena entered the courtyard and stood not far away and said to Kaichi, who was practicing swordsmanship.
Jia Yi stopped the practice in his hand, put the long sword aside, walked over and said, "I won't go and read it, even if I sell it, how many can I sell? Can there be tens of thousands of copies?"
Limited by the total number of literate people, it is already very good that books at this time can sell tens of thousands of copies, and there is no perfect statistical information yet, but it is said that the best seller is Gwen's "Encyclopedia of Plant Taxonomy", which has sold more than 200,000 copies.
This book is full of pictures and texts, rich in content, and you can buy one back as a recipe, a medical book, and an agricultural book, a multi-purpose book, and great value for money.
Looking at Jiayi, who was wearing tight short sleeves and sweating profusely, Selena frowned and took a step back: "What are you doing these days, humming every day, making you sweat." ”
Jia Yi got a towel and checked the sweat on his face, it is now the end of November, and he doesn't feel cold when he wears a short sleeve, he is originally cold-resistant, and after becoming a white-robed mage, he is even more frost-resistant.
"I'm learning some martial arts techniques with Bronn and them to stretch out. How's my book selling?"
Although he said that he didn't care, Jia Yi didn't want to hear that his book was unattended.
Selena glanced at Jiayi with disdain, but her face was a little red from the surging male hormones, of course, it was also possible that the smell of sweat was too strong.
She blushed slightly and said, "Don't you care? Why are you concerned again, it only started selling today, but it looks good, there are a lot of people who come to buy, and there are long queues before the sale starts, and the newspaper advertisements work very well, and many people come to inquire about the publication and release of "The Hobbit", but more people come to urge the follow-up plot of "The Lord of the Rings". ”
"You don't have to tell me, there are still two years, it's too late, anyway, they can't find me, I don't know, let them wait slowly. "Jiayi is now a lot of lice and doesn't itch, and he looks like a lai.
Selena was not as confident as Jia Yi at all: "Don't delay the manuscript too late, what kind of hand-to-hand combat skills do you have time to learn now, what's the use?" And what can you learn as a mage, it's better to rush the manuscript if you have this time." ”
When procrastination becomes a habit, you can't get it back, and you will only accumulate more and more, and you won't return it.
Bron, who was on the side, came over and said: "No, Jia Yi's talent is very good, and he has a strong control over his body, and after these days of training, his swordsmanship has been able to make him look decent, especially his boxing skills, which surpasses some knight squires who have been trained for 4 or 5 years." ”
Bronn is also the same as Jia Yi in a light short-sleeved shirt, that is, the kind of short-sleeved T-shirt worn in summer, this kind of clothing is of course improved by Jia Yi, although there are also short-sleeved clothes here, but they are still buttoned at the front, and they are not light enough. The original Jiayi had some meaning that it was not intrusive in the cold and heat, and he didn't have this need, but now that he sweats a lot when he exercises, he still feels that the T-shirt is more convenient, at least he doesn't have to unbutton it.
Jia Yi's talent for practicing martial arts is indeed very good, if it weren't for the higher status of the mages in this world, Bronn and they would have the heart to let Jia Yi focus on martial arts. It's a pity that even if Jia Yi trains to become a great knight, he is not as good as a white-robed mage, unless he becomes a starlight knight.
Generally speaking, the strength of knights is half a level lower than that of mages, and the status is one level lower, the strength of the big knights is higher than that of gray-robed mages but not as good as white-robed mages, but their social status is only comparable to that of gray-robed mages, and sometimes even slightly inferior. Of course, the status of a knight must be higher than that of a mage's apprentice.
Blaon himself has not become a big knight, let alone cultivating Jia Yi to the level of a big knight, with Jia Yi's current status, it is destined that martial arts training is just a transfer.
Jia Yi has been practicing Tai Chi for more than ten years since he was a child, almost never interrupted, although he has not practiced into a big muscle bully, but the flexibility and balance of the body are very good, the strength is not weak, the control of the body is more outstanding, plus the magic power and strong spiritual power in the body, the control of energy has been very fine, which is beyond the reach of knights.
Therefore, Jia Yi practiced martial arts very quickly, especially his thinking ability was greatly strengthened, and he had strong mental power, and he could learn the routines taught by Bronn and March, and even be able to draw inferences.
Although he has not practiced martial arts professionally, he has to surpass most people when it comes to understanding the human body, he has studied medicine with Yao Lao, and the undead course of the academy has also taught human anatomy - although they have not been able to get started in person because of the lack of corpses.
In the case of Bronn and their slight release of water, Jia Yi was even able to fight back and forth with them.
But real martial arts fighting and practice are two different things, if you want to practice martial arts well, you need to practice a lot of training, and turn your fighting skills into instinct, and Jia Yi doesn't have this time, and he won't spend so much time practicing his fighting skills.
However, after studying for a period of time, he has put forward a lot of opinions on Bron's training routines, and even their fighting skills have been inferred by Jia and made some modifications, although he can't beat Bronon now, but when it comes to mouth cannon theory, Bronon they may not be as strong as Jia Yiqiang, just like Wang Yuyan who has weakened theory but strengthened hands-on ability.
Although Bronn is already a knight, when they exercise, they are more just practicing and don't think about why they do it, so the pure theory is actually not excellent. The vast majority of knights are more of an empirical summary of their skills, and are not able to improve them theoretically.
It's just a pity that their technical skills have formed habits, and even reflexes, and it is not easy to change them, and although Jiayi's modification looks good, it has not been tested in actual combat after all, so Bronn and they have no strong intention of modifying their move skills.
The knight's fighting skills are tempered from the battlefield, advocating simplicity and efficiency, advancing without retreat, the moves are not complicated, and there is armor on the body, which is still very different from fighting bare-chested.
And Jia Yi was influenced by the martial arts culture, and he has begun to prefer to dodge and move, flexible changes, he can bless himself with spells, his movements are more flexible, and although the style has not changed completely, it has already taken shape.
It's just that when he really fights, his movements are not like Bron's and they turned into muscle memory, and they still have to be thought and dispatched through the brain, if it weren't for the strengthening of his thinking speed, his reaction would have slowed down and become only beaten.
But because of this, he has more choices when he is the enemy, and he doesn't rely on this to eat, and his current level is beyond his expectations.
Selena couldn't believe it, and reached out to pinch Jiayi's chest muscles: "Really, even a knight apprentice needs years of training, and you have only been practicing for a few days now, which can compare to their practice for several years?"
Kaichi shook his shoulders and shook Selena's "groping pig hand" off, almost trying to pinch it back.
He tugged at the collar and pulled the garment away from his skin, soaking through sweat while emitting a strong smell of sweat.
Bian said: "Of course, I'm a genius, what is a genius, I will learn it as soon as I learn it, I will refine it after a while, and of course I will learn it quickly." ”
In fact, he has only brought out his physical potential these days, and there has been no growth, and it is impossible to say so quickly in the future. In his heart, he doesn't think that he is really a genius, but for Selena, it is not too much to call herself a genius.
Selena looked at Tina in disbelief, Tina was Eunice's personal bodyguard and would definitely not lie to herself.
It's just that she also nodded in agreement when she saw Tina.
He and Bronn were very surprised that Jia Yi was able to master the knight's fighting skills so quickly, especially Jia Yi's balance, which was better than Tina's, maybe it was really like Jia Yi said, he was a genius.
