Chapter 5: Ju's Strength
Lin Qi saw that Miss Xiaoju was not prepared to take the initiative, and knew that the other party was letting him. I thought about how I was going to attack. After all, the opponent is an experienced living person, not a wild boar with a single action.
Lin Qi held the long sword in his hand, estimated the distance between the sword blade and the opponent, and moved forward in small steps. When he moved, he was also observing Miss Xiaoju's movements. He moved, but the other party stood and didn't move at all, just countering the sword with his long sword.
After a stalemate, Lin Qi assessed his moves in his mind, and found that no matter how he started, the other party could easily resist it. In this case, no matter how much you think about it, it is better to feel it with your body, and in any case, for yourself to experience more, it is earned.
Thinking like this, Lin Qi's body had already moved. Take a step forward and stab with a straight blow.
But before the arm was fully extended, he felt a force that skillfully flicked his sword to the side. As soon as he reacted, Xiao Ju had already taken a step closer, and the blade of the sword crossed an arc and cut to Lin Qi's left abdomen.
Lin Qi was startled and hurriedly took a step back. Xiao Ju stood in place and did not pursue.
Lin Qi thought back to the blow just now, and was surprised by Xiao Ju's strength. No, that's not pure power, it's skill. And she even went around to attack her left side, it seems that the difference in strength is indeed huge. I only expected that the opponent would resist my attack, but I didn't expect the opponent to be able to fight back directly.
Since Xiao Ju did not chase after him, Lin Qi was not in a hurry to strike again, but stood with his sword in his hand, adjusted his breathing, and tried to relax himself.
Xiao Ju watched Lin Qi change his state so quickly, and even jumped lightly to relieve the tension in his muscles, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
Lin Qi quickly stopped and re-entered the preparatory posture. This time, he was more focused. I was really too light on the enemy just now, because I knew that the other party would not cause harm to me, so I didn't pay attention to it.
The gap between his own and the other party's swordsmanship is indeed huge, but he also has some advantages. Height, arm length, strength, etc., these hard powers should crush Xiaoju, so how should I give full play to my advantages?
(I can't get into the other person's rhythm, I have to have my own rhythm!) )
Lin Qi thought of a strategy, his bow body was gaining momentum, the long sword turned around in his hand, and he held the hilt of the sword with his backhand, hiding the long sword behind him.
Xiao Ju was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Lin Qi to actually use this way to confront herself. She saw Lin Qi's raised face and eyes.
(With murderous intent?) )
Xiao Ju was a little surprised, and saw Lin Qi stride forward sharply, and he was in front of him in the blink of an eye. But what about the sword? Lin Qi's sword was still hidden behind him.
(a little clever...... )
Although Lin Qi was still hiding moves, and he didn't know where to shoot until the last moment, Xiao Ju was experienced, took a step sideways, and pressed his long sword close to Lin Qi's chest, just stuck in the path that Lin Qi had to take.
Lin Qi saw that the direction of his shot had been sealed, and was amazed by Xiao Ju's accurate judgment. He made a small sideways jump, but instead reached the side behind Xiao Ju, and at the same time swung his sword with his backhand and slashed horizontally to her left.
Lin Qi thought that he had succeeded, but he saw Xiao Ju leaning down and retreating and turning around, dodging from under his sword, and when he reacted, his flank was swept by Xiao Ju's sword again.
Lin Qi's mind was still shocked by Xiao Ju's rapid counterattack, and there were already applause and cheers from the side.
"Pretty attack, not a novice! It's kind of interesting! ”
"Well, it's really not easy to force Xiao Ju to use her mastery!"
"It's worthy of Xiaoju, this reflection is okay!"
Xiao Ju stood up straight, pulled a sword flower, and arched her hand with a sword in both hands.
"Handsome guy, that moment was really interesting. If a newbie can perform like this, it seems that you are talented. ”
Lin Qi learned Xiao Ju's movements and arched his hand in style. He didn't think he was talented, he just felt that Xiao Ju was unfathomable.
"Beauty, you're amazing! You've been practicing since you were a child, right? ”
Xiao Ju didn't answer the question, just smiled.
"What a handsome guy, although it's only been two moves, but I should feel a lot, right? Do you have any ideas to enroll in a class to study? ”
Lin Qi was indeed a little excited, although he hadn't shopped around for more, but Xiao Ju's strength was there, no matter what, it would definitely help him. Just don't know what the price is.
"This ...... What is the price? ”
"Our price here is very affordable, 350 per class, from ten sessions, if you report more, you can be more favorable."
When Lin Qi heard this, he knew in his heart that this price was indeed not expensive. Although Uncle Li gave himself some money, he didn't need to worry about money in a short time, but this was not a long-term solution after all. Before finding a new stable income, it is indeed a bit stressful to throw out thousands of dollars at a time to apply for a card.
Lin Qi took a step forward, got closer, and asked in a low voice.
"I ...... I don't have enough money to take out so much at once, can I pay for it one class at a time? ”
Xiao Ju was a little hesitant, the martial arts hall has encountered economic problems recently, if you can pay a little more at once, you can relieve the pressure on the family. But if it really doesn't work, mosquito legs are also meat, a little more.
"Well, no problem. You can pay when you come to class. Although this will be more expensive, is there a problem with this? ”
Lin Qi was relieved, although it was cheap to buy more courses, it was already the best plan for himself, so he nodded.
"Yes."
"Our sword classes are held every Wednesday and Saturday. Monday and Thursday are free fighting, and Tuesday and Friday are physique strengthening. There are no specific classes on Sundays. When the time comes, you can see the schedule for yourself. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. ”
"Lin Qi, Shuangmu Forest, the Qi of Sailing."
"Fang Ju."
Xiao Ju Fang Ju stretched out her hand towards Lin Qi. Looking at the generous Fang Ju, Lin Qi also stretched out his hand.
"Although there is no sword class today, since you have come to experience it, you can't just go back. Are you still available? When I have time, I will make a guest appearance as a swordsmanship instructor and give you a basic lesson. Of course, this falls under the category of experience. ”
Lin Qi didn't expect Fang Ju to be willing to teach him directly, this trip was really not in vain.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Xiaoju!"
Lin Qi ran back to his residence sweating profusely, and the one-hour swordsmanship course benefited him a lot. Fang Ju's swordsmanship is good, but the teaching method itself is relatively simple and crude. The first step is to give you a demonstration, and the second step is to practice it yourself. Despite this, Lin Qi still learned a lot of content.
The way the sword is held, the way the sword is standing, the pace of movement, etc...... Fang Ju stuffed Lin Qi with a bunch of knowledge like a duck, and he didn't care if Lin Qi could digest it. Fang Ju's intention was actually very simple, she used this pressure teaching method to test Lin Qi's talent. In the next lesson, Lin Qi's progress will determine how far he can go.
Lin Qi was like a mirror in his heart, where could he have any swordsmanship talent, not to mention that he just wanted to play the soul domain game by understanding swordsmanship.
After a brief dinner, Lin Qi lay down on the bed and put on his helmet. After a burst of numbness, Lin Qi once again entered the world of the Soul Domain.
"Let's try today's learning first."
Lin Qi held the long sword in his hand and rushed towards the wild boar at the entrance of the village. Having assessed the charging speed of the wild boar before, Lin Qi seized the opportunity to directly slash at the wild boar's forehead with a sword.
The cold light flashed, and the long sword just hit the head of the wild boar, and the wild boar whined directly. But because the speed of the collision was still there, the carcass of the wild boar hit Lin Qi headlong and knocked Lin Qi to the ground.
Lin Qi lay on the ground, pushed away the wild boar carcass that was pressing on him, and smiled bitterly.
"This game is too real......
Lin Qi remembered that when he was playing games in the past, he had a dragon stop car operation with a strong attack and a dragon charge. In that environment, the charging dragon would be hit by a headshot and stop in an instant, which is indeed a bit contrary to the laws of physics.
"Can't forcibly block the enemy's attack route? It should be said that it is necessary to block it with a force stronger than the enemy. The attack power of my sword can indeed kill the boar in an instant, but the way of attack cannot stop the charge of the wild boar, if you use a heavy sword to slash head-on, it should be possible......"
Lin Qi found another wild boar, and this time he didn't meet it head-on, but tried to slide sideways with Fang Jujiao's pace. When the boar passes by him, he kills it with a sword.
- Congratulations on the level increase, which is currently level 3.
Lin Qi listened to the sound of the system, and his heart was happy.
"It seems like you took a mission before? It doesn't seem to have a quest panel yet...... I can only go back and see......"
Lin Qi returned to the village and walked in the direction of the novice guide Xiaoya. From a distance, I saw Xiaoya greeting herself.
"Broken boy! Broken boy! ”
Lin Qi felt that he was full of black lines, and other game NPCs called players with full names, at least calling themselves to break the array, and the worst was Mr. Breaking the array. What's going on with this mouthful of a broken son.
"Can you change the name? What a boy who called me like a piece of garbage......"
Lin Qi didn't know why he was having such a conversation with an NPC, maybe it was an abnormal humanization in the induction game.
"Hehe, too." Xiao Ya chuckled.
Lin Qi found that this Xiaoya in front of him was quite good-looking. The style of the characters in the Soul Domain game is realistic, and the proportions of human facial features are almost the same as those in reality. But after all, it's a game, and Xiaoya, the NPC in the novice village, is already a big star-level facial feature in reality.
(Except for special characters, normal characters shouldn't be bad...... )
"You just call me to break the show. The last mission said that I should clean up wild boars, and I don't know how many I need to clean up, am I done now? ”
"Well, just defeat a wild boar. You've beaten ...... Seven wild boars! You are truly the benefactor of the village! Thank you for your contribution to the village! A small gift is not a tribute, please accept it. ”
Xiaoya handed out a small bag, and Lin Qi reached out to take it. When I opened it, I saw 5 silver coins inside.
- Congratulations on completing the commission of Lingyun Village, and you will be rewarded with a professional weapon pack, please check it in your inventory.
(Are the rewards for NPCs and systems separate?) Why is it so cumbersome to design? )
Although he was very puzzled, Lin Qi did not show it on the surface.
"Thank you, Miss Xiaoya. In other words, do we have any other commissions in Lingyun Village? ”
Xiao Ya was a little embarrassed.
"Lingyun Village does have some difficulties, but this problem is a bit tricky, and it may be life-threatening."
"It's okay, you can tell me first, and if I can do it, I'll try to help."
"Not far north of the village, there is a dead forest. Continuing north through the dead wood forest is the town of Yingjie. Our village produces sheep, and wool and mutton are our source of income. But some time ago in the Dead Wood Forest, a pack of wild wolves came. The wild wolf not only steals the sheep in the village, but also blocks the road to Yingjie Town. So we need someone to help clear the wolves in the dead woods. ”
"How many wolves do you need to kill?"
"One will do."
Lin Qi nodded.
"Okay, I'll come when I go."
