Chapter 29: Practice footwork
Niu Dazhuang landed lightly the moment he flashed on Luo Xing's side, and then quickly flipped his wrist and swept towards Luo Xing's horizontal knife with a "sweep".
With a "whew", the wooden knife was instantly in front of Luo Xing.
Seeing that the opponent's attack was fierce and fast, Luo Xingqing knew that he couldn't dodge, so he hurriedly stretched out his arm and raised his sword to block.
With a "bell", Luo Xing was directly shocked out, fell to the ground with a "bang", and then rolled all the way to the edge of the ring and stopped.
Niu Dazhuang's blow almost knocked Luo Xing directly out of the field.
Luo Xing, whose arm was sore, and his body was unwell, looked shocked, knowing that this person had great strength, but he didn't expect it to be so big, and he couldn't hard-connect it at all. Seeing that the opponent's attack was coming quickly, he hurriedly hit a carp, and then immediately rolled forward, another frog jump, and the last front flip, and when he was about to land, his right hand with the sword swept backwards violently, and then landed safely, staring at Niu Dazhuang, and exhaled a long breath.
Seeing that Luo Xing had fled far away, Niu Dazhuang didn't say a word, turned around and quickly chased after him, dancing wildly with a big knife, and quickly casting his knife technique one move after another.
Seeing that Luo Xing, who was quick and whirring, knew that he couldn't be hard-connected at all, he had to run or flip his head to dodge.
Fortunately, although Niu Dazhuang has a lot of strength, his speed is a little slower, which provides a good opportunity for Luo Xing to dodge in time.
At this time, Luo Xing also realized that he had forgotten about footwork, and when the battle was over, he must go to the library to find a footwork book to learn, which is too much of a loss, and he can't keep running.
Just when Niu Dazhuang was close and performed a "sweep", Luo Xing quickly dodged, and then made a move that seemed to be slow, but it was gently wrapped around Niu Dazhuang's wooden knife and changed at the same time, and the wooden sword was quickly handed forward, and several sword shadows appeared, stabbing Niu Dazhuang.
Niu Dazhuang's reaction was really fast, seeing the sword shadow attacking quickly, he hurriedly jumped back and suddenly used the "Talisman Rotary Knife".
In the sound of the "whirring" wind, only the sound of the "bell" was heard, and the big knife directly hit the wooden sword, Luo Xing's wrist shook and numb, and the wooden sword and his arm were turned to the side.
At this moment, Niu Dazhuang's move "knife back slash" came quickly, and with a "bang", Luo Xing was directly knocked out of the field, and after falling to the ground with a "bang", he rolled a few times before falling to the ground.
After the referee on the stage announced the result, Luo Xing, who looked painful, finally gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, gently rubbed the pain in his body, and said weakly: "You won." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Given that the exercises and sword techniques all originated from Dean Chu, Luo Xing felt that there was no reason to ask him for footwork again, so he went straight to the library pavilion.
At this time, the people watching the battle began to speak differently.
"It's over after only a little time, but it's not fun."
"yes, it's really boring to watch today."
"Originally, it was not interesting to see Niu Dazhuang's martial arts competition, so he had to pull me over."
"Okay, don't complain, go to the sixth martial arts arena, there is also a qualifying battle there."
"Well, let's go."
In fact, for the audience, who wins and who loses is not a particularly important thing, the key is to enjoy watching it, or really learn something, so that the audience will feast their eyes and applaud.
However, are the words of the audience really that important to the people competing on stage?
Along the way, Luo Xing didn't have many emotional fluctuations, he just thought: Winning and losing are common, can I still win? Why can't you lose? Besides, if you lose today, you will lose because you don't know footwork, you will only dodge and run a few times, and the opponent is strong and strong, and the reaction is fast, and you can't hard-connect, you can't keep running in the martial arts field, that's too embarrassing, but today is really unjust.
For being chased and running, Luo Xing thought of Zeng Hongzhi again, and he barely won by sneaking up while running. He also said that the two should not be confused, that time it was revenge, and this time it was a competition. So, you can't run like that this time, but last time it was fine.
Unconsciously, Luo Xing had come to the Library Pavilion, greeted the caretaker, and went straight to the second floor of the Library Pavilion, because only the second floor had footwork.
Although there are only two books left on the third floor, Luo Xing still found a time to find those two cheats to Dean Chu to leave, what if they are useful in the future?
At that time, Dean Chu hesitated again and again, and finally decided to give it to Luo Xing.
At this point, the high-level books on the third floor of the academy were completely emptied.
Luo Xing was ecstatic and thanked him again and again, but he didn't notice Dean Chu's indifferent expression.
Coming to the footwork book area on the second floor of the library pavilion, Luo Xing found that there were only three footwork books, and he was immediately a little disappointed, and when he saw one of the footwork books, he was immediately deeply attracted by its name, so that he couldn't raise the slightest interest in the other two.
Slowly open "Sword Shadow Footwork - Volume I"
The first page reads: This book is based on the experience of hundreds of battles of various sizes, mainly for those who wield swords. Because the sword is a light and spiritual thing, it needs light and spiritual footwork to match it in order to show the true meaning of the sword, otherwise, the sword technique is too subtle, and it is still difficult to make merit without footwork.
After reading the introduction on the first page, Luo Xing was immediately ecstatic, and he almost jumped up on the spot.
The second page content: This book is divided into two volumes, this volume is the upper volume, a total of twelve steps, the only one, I set it as the intermediate footwork, if the two initiates, can also be called high-level footwork, and high-level footwork on this continent, is also a rare footwork, it can also be said that this kind of footwork is very rare, it is not an exaggeration to call it a strange book, Wangjun practice diligently, footwork is bound to be a success.
Next is the footwork diagram, how to flash, turn, soar, move, move, step, flip... I was amazed again and again by reading Luo Xing, what a good book!
When Luo Xing quickly turned to the last page, he was immediately dumbfounded, wondering who this person was, didn't this pour cold water on people's hot heads?
It really is! I want to curse!
On the last page of the humanoid footwork diagram below, there is a slightly smaller and somewhat scribbled word: I feel very uncomfortable because after writing and drawing, I feel that my hard work to create my own footwork is published like this, so, the next volume has been destroyed by me, only this volume is left in the world, there may be a little incomplete, your Excellency comprehend it yourself, you can also barely say that this book is a half-hung footwork, hahahaha, you can also say that I am the selfish person, but, it doesn't hurt, hahahaha.
After reading these words, Luo Xing raised the book to the ground, pointed at it, and directly burst out foul language and scolded.
The originally quiet library attracted countless students to watch due to Luo Xing's irritable abuse.
I saw that the students who were borrowing books here all looked at Luo Xing in a daze, not knowing what was going on, let alone why this person was so irritable and uttering filthy words.
Seeing that many people looked at him in surprise, Luo Xing immediately withdrew his hand holding the book, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, everyone keep reading, keep reading." After speaking, he smiled awkwardly and nodded to the students around him, then squatted down and opened the other two footwork books to read.
After a while, those two books were quickly read by Luo Xing, because the text records on the two books were really unsightly, so they were put back in their original places, picked up the book "Sword and Shadow Footwork", and sighed deeply.
Although it is said to be a half-hanger, but a half-hanger is a half-hanger, it is better than nothing, and just looking at this description is absolutely not wrong, can learn a few steps and count a few steps, and then took the book and went to the caretaker to register.
Handing the book to the caretaker, Luo Xing asked casually: "Teacher, how is this book, has anyone taken it to practice?" ”
This caretaker is very familiar to Luo Xing, after all, he is the only one who follows Mei Feng and comes here to take a lot of books back to practice, so Luo Xing, who has a thick stack of cheats for cultivation and can persist in completing the practice, is full of good feelings.
Glancing at the cheats lightly, the caretaker didn't want this book to delay Luo Xing, so he persuaded concentratingly: "Luo Xing, why are you practicing this, this is a waste book, just a few steps, I advise you not to practice, after all, it is not complete." If you want to ask if anyone has practiced, well, there were indeed many students who took it away and practiced, but it didn't take long for them to be sent back with a scolding and scolding, and then later, oh, you are the latter. ”
Hearing what he said, Luo Xing was also grateful to the teacher for kindly reminding him, but when he heard it, he was still shocked and said, "Teacher, it's not so exaggerated, right?" ”
The teacher pursed his lips after hearing this, and said, "Believe it or not, I've already told you anyway, if you have to practice this book, won't you know if you take it back and try it?" I'll see how often you get this book back. After speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly.
"Okay, then I'll go back and try to practice first, I'm still good looking at the illustration." Luo Xing continued to cheer himself up.
"Well, it's pretty good, go ahead, go ahead." As he spoke, the caretaker waved his hand, said no more, and went to register the other students.
The students waiting for registration next to them were also very surprised, why didn't this person listen to persuasion, because they had all practiced, and knew that this book really couldn't be cultivated, but they just listened to the conversation between the two and felt the psychology of this person wanting to try, but they didn't respond to the persuasion after the teacher finished speaking.
Back at the residence, Luo Xing was a little happy, although he lost to Niu Dazhuang today, no one disturbed him to practice footwork, which was also a blessing.
took out the half-hung footwork book with a very nice name, Luo Xing looked at it while trying to move his feet and practiced.
Bow your legs, straighten your body, drag the floor with your right toe, lay flat, follow with your left toes, lean your body, straddle your left leg, tiptoe, turn, move。。。。。。
Half a day passed, and Luo Xing finally wrote down the first four steps, but he was also tired and out of breath. The heart said that this practice of footwork was really a physical work, and the legs and feet were sore. If you think about it, hurry up and recover.
In the next day, Luo Xing had practiced the first four steps to be able to penetrate them.
However, when he practiced to the fifth step in a row, Luo Xing found a serious problem, practiced footwork by himself, and tripped himself backwards.
Practiced and stumbled.
Practice again, stumble again.
Luo Xing was going crazy, and said in his heart: What's the situation with this footwork? Why are you so twisted around your feet, is it just to trip yourself? Isn't it an act of seeking death to do so? It's fighting, bang, what is it that you fell down? Then perform the Lying Ground Sword technique from the ground?
Later, Luo Xing tried to change the size of his steps, direction, and the direction of his body twisting, but practicing like this was not connected to the sixth step at all.
"Bang", the book was directly thrown to the ground, Luo Xing pointed to the book angrily: "What are you, no wonder so many people scolded and scolded you to send you back, even the teacher didn't care, the name is quite good, what's the use?" He also claims to be a half-hanger, I don't think it's even a half-hanger! I also changed the footwork, how to learn! ”
Luo Xing, who couldn't continue to practice footwork at all, simply sat on the bed and sulked by himself.
After a while, I picked up the book again and practiced it a few times, but no matter how I tried, I really couldn't, so Luo Xing simply dropped the book and went to the academy.
After another two days, there was still no improvement in the practice of footwork, but Luo Xing did not give up thinking, at this moment, only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and did not see anyone, but the sound had already entered the house.
"Brother Luo, we're here."
As soon as the words fell, I saw the four brothers Liu Dafu pushing the door and entering one after another.
Liu Dafu looked at Luo Xing's appearance, looked puzzled, and said, "Brother Luo, what's the matter, seeing that you are worried, is there something to worry about?" Or because of the defeat to Niu Dazhuang a few days ago, I was in a bad mood. ”
"There are troubles, but it's not the problem of losing to Niu Dazhuang." Luo Xing sighed and finished speaking, picked up the "Sword Shadow Lost Footwork" and handed it over: "No, this is the footwork." ”
The four brothers read the book and burst out laughing.
Gao Jun smiled and said: "I said Brother Luo, why don't you ask us if you are looking for a footwork book, this book, our brothers have also practiced, and we can still practice the first four steps, but we can't practice from the fifth step, so we sent them back, and we can't practice at all, this is a waste book, and we practice in the other two books." ”
Liu Dafu said: "Gao Jun is right, Brother Luo, you better send it back and learn the other two." ”
Luo Xing shook his head after hearing this, sighed, and said, "I read those two copies, I really don't feel anything, forget it, let's put it first." ”
"Okay, Brother Luo, you practice this, don't get angry and sick when the time comes, it's not good." Liu Dafu also looked helpless, as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered a particularly interesting thing, and then said with his eyebrows: "Brother Luo, let me tell you a particularly interesting thing." After speaking, a smile was on his face.
Yu Shiqiu also laughed softly: "It's really interesting. ”
Mo Liyang couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, pouting and smiling lightly, because everyone was a witness.
