Out of an abundance of caution, Curt took a closer look at Adios' expression. Although Adios was grinning, there was not much banter in his eyes. So Curt estimated the distance between himself and the bamboo, and then bent his knees slightly, lowering his body. He raised his blunt sword, placed it at his side, and made a pole-sword starting pose.
So far, Curt has not taken it out and used it a few times since he learned the Extreme Sword from Adios. But Curt knew that the power of the Extreme Sword was actually very powerful. The only drawback is that you need to prepare for the action beforehand.
After a few seconds of adjustment, Curt's breathing flattened. He stared at the bamboo, adjusting every part of his body into place. In days gone by, Curt had been repeating boring chopping motions almost constantly. He has done the same action tens of thousands of times, which is a veritable tempering.
So Curt is confident that he can cut through the bamboo with a blunt sword, and the only pressure is that he only has one chance. To increase the likelihood of success, Curt activated the Mirror of the Mind. He focused his gaze on where he wanted to slash and took a few deep breaths. After another deep breath, Curt held his breath abruptly, and then swung his sword out with all his might.
The sword light flashed, and the bamboo split into two in an instant. Adios smiled and clasped his hands to his chest, watching Curt frown with a thoughtful expression. In the past, no matter how smooth Curt's technique was, he could feel the resistance of the bamboo to the blade. But in the blow just now, Curt felt like he had slashed into the air. The blunt sword was barely hindered, and it cut the bamboo straight away.
"Degree and power are one, and the lethality of a sword is not only based on strength, you have to remember that. ”
After letting Curt think for a moment. Adios grinned. He leaned down. Lift the top half of the bamboo that was cut off by Curt. The cross-section of the bamboo is as smooth as a mirror. Only the edges have a few small notches. Adios whistled and handed the bamboo to Curt so that Curt could see it as well. He looked at Curt, who was a little surprised, and then asked with a smile:
"Are you going to cut here?"
“...... The location is a bit off. ”
"Do you know where you're lacking?"
"I see. ”
Kirt nodded, fully understanding what Adios meant. Although the power of the sword just now was amazing, the landing point was a few centimeters worse than Curt expected. When it comes to cutting bamboo, there is no problem with nature. If Curt intends to use swordsmanship to fight the enemy to the death, then this is a few centimeters of error. It would be a fatal mistake.
"I like to teach smart people and save a lot of nonsense. ”
Satisfied, Adios threw away the bamboo and reached out to pat Curt on the shoulder. Then he took a few steps away, crouched on the ground, pressed his hand to the ground, and muttered a few words softly. A golden bamboo then broke through the ground, tore the ground, and rumbled up. It is up to 30 centimeters in diameter and has a faint metallic hue. Curt watched Adios retreat for some reason, and pulled out several blunt swords from his waist pocket. One by one, they are inserted into the dirt on the edges.
"These are spare. ”
Tapping the hilt of a blunt sword, Adios explained to Curt:
"From now on. You'll have to learn how to cut your sword where you want it, not even a millimeter. And in real-life combat, your enemies will block your attacks, so you'll need to know how to withstand and use the power of the backlash. Now I'm going to show you, you can see clearly. If you don't understand something, ask immediately. ”
With that, Adios pulled out a blunt sword and slashed directly at the metal bamboo. He used so much force that the blade exploded with sparks when it slashed through the bamboo. But in the moments before hitting the target, Adios relaxed his wrist. So when the sword bounced back, he barely had the strength to eat. Under Curt's gaze, Adios turned around easily, and with the reaction force of the sword, he directly pulled out the second sword with his backhand and slashed heavily at the bamboo.
In a matter of seconds, Adios slashed out a dozen swords like a cloud. He advanced and retreated at will, and his hands did not stop. Curt could see that no matter how powerful the shock force was, it could only be transmitted to Adios' arm. Adios's attack was not so much a 'slash' as a 'throw'.
"You can try it. ”
After completing a round of attack, Adios took a few steps with a free spin, dissipating all his strength. He tossed the blunt sword to Curt and stood to the side with a smile. Curt took the sword and hesitated slightly. Then he took the sword in both hands and slashed it with all his might.
With a loud bang, the blunt sword slammed into the bamboo. It bends around the point of impact, dropping countless fragments. At the same time, a huge force of the shock passed through Guò Curt's arm and spread throughout his body. Curt was dizzy, and his mouth was salty. Just now, his teeth collided violently, and he almost shattered a few of them.
“...... Sick?"
Adios was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head for some reason. Curt shook his head, trying to banish the vertigo. He spat out a mouthful of blood-stained spittle, and replied with difficulty:
"I just wanted to see what would happen if I didn't have time to unload the force. I don't have your skills, I'm not a master, and most of the time I will encounter situations that I have to resist in reality. I wish I had at least known what it would be like to feel at that time. Otherwise, once you encounter it, I'm afraid it's over. ”
"Are you serious, or are you a brainbreaker? Curt, you're too extreme, and you're always trying to be perfect. But there are no absolutes in this world, and it's always good to suffer less. Of course, I also know that you will not listen. People like you, my uncle must have liked it. If one day you make up your mind to be a warrior for the rest of your life...... I'd have some idea to introduce you to my uncle. ”
"Thanks, but most likely it won't be that day. ”
Curt waved his hand and declined Adios' offer. He himself understood that learning the sword was just a whim, and it could be regarded as a preparation for intervening in the political circle dominated by warriors. Even after giving up magic, Curt is still a powerful psyker. In his opinion, swordsmanship is his last line of defense. - Curt will deal with warriors frequently, and if someone gets close enough to be too close for psionic energy to wield it, then swordsmanship can be used as a supplement.
In addition to these reasons, Curt had another idea and intention. But until the time came, he didn't plan to say it.
All in all, Curt started a new course. With his perseverance and understanding, it is not very difficult to master swordsmanship, all that is lacking is time and experience. Outside of time, Curt spends time meditating. He improved his spiritual power in the realm outside of the gods, and at the same time, he also summarized and refined the results of his swordsmanship practice, making the most effective use of his limited time.
The night before arriving in Aotran, the land of swords, Curt stopped all his workouts. He deliberately relaxed himself and tried to restore his condition to the peak. In Curt's view, the half-month journey is both a cultivation and a rest. He anesthetized himself with a full schedule and successfully spent the time he missed Ani the most.
This is certainly a relief, but also a compromise of sorts. For the sake of future reunions, Curt had to be indifferent to some of Ani's impressions in his heart. He stood on the deck and looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly felt the night breeze blowing from the sea cold to his bones.
How much helplessness is there in life?
Curt pondered silently and began to regain his responsibilities one by one. He knew that he had gained far more than ordinary people, but the thirst in his heart had not diminished by half a point. This is greed, but if you can't take Ani into your arms, how can Curt be content?
Without a word, Curt drew his sword. The official name of this sword is Yu Feng, and it is a magic sword with lightweight spells and sharp arts. Yu Feng is a good magic weapon, of course, it must not be compared to Purple Resentment. Curt gently turned his wrist and sliced through the air with the blade of his sword. He laughed self-deprecatingly, and faintly felt that he was like Yu Feng, high or low.
"Thinking about something?"
A soft voice came from behind, and Kelly was quietly approaching. There was almost no sound in her footsteps, presumably the professional habit of thieves.
Curt didn't look back, he knew he didn't need to answer. Kelly leaned behind Curt and reached out to wrap her arms around her. She kissed Curt first, then smiled and said:
"Lately, I've been wondering, what are you fighting so hard for? If you want to talk about women, you and your lady Catherine are not bad, are we?
"A lot of things you don't know......"
Curt sighed and spoke, suddenly feeling that it hurt to say this, so he stopped. He looked sideways at Kelly's expression, then shook his head and said:
"As for Catherine, I'm not going to touch her. She is a thorny rose with venom on the tip of her thorns. If I had to do it, I would probably be able to break this rose. But there's no need, and I'm not interested. ”
"Man...... Alas......"
Kelly sighed with frustration, and seemed to be very emotional. She kissed Curt again, then pointed to the dark sea and said:
"You know, Curt, I'd like to run away if I could. I have enough money to live a good life. For me, enough is what I have on hand. ”
"Then why not......"
"Because I love you, Curt. No, I guess I'm looking forward to you. You've done things that I can't even think about. Thousand Law City ...... Ioham...... You're just an apprentice, like it was just yesterday. But you are not afraid of anything, no one is scared, and you have come to this point. For me, who has never been in control of my fate...... Curt, you're a hero......"
Curt tilted his head, feeling a little speechless. He felt Kelly's body temperature, raised his head, and saw thousands of stars. (To be continued......)
