Chapter 57: Practicing Swordsmanship

More than a month passed, and Hans had practiced all the basic movements in depth, and was about to pack up his mood and prepare for the next stage, when he received the news that Medea had come once a few days ago.

She didn't stay this time, but just communicated with Master Tianxiang, and then left immediately, the main purpose was to let Master Tianxiang tell them some recent information about the country.

Because Medea spread the news that Prince Barre was still alive everywhere, the situation in the country was not too chaotic, and the main national situation was not much different from a month ago, but recently a mysterious gang appeared, specializing in robbing the resources of the city of France, they were not many in number, their whereabouts were uncertain, and they disappeared immediately after each robbery, which made Wells angry and had no choice, he did not dare to send the army to catch these thieves.

The other three dukes did not intervene in the matter, for the gang never robbed anyone else's property, as if it had only come against Wells. And now that Medea has begun to track down the gang, she thinks that if she can find them, she should be able to take them as her own.

......

Hans didn't focus on the outside world for the time being, and he had to master the skills that Tianxiang taught him as soon as possible.

On this day, Tian Xiang said to Hans: "You have almost practiced your basic combat methods, and you can start practicing the ghost shadow sword technique." ”

Hans asked, "Is the Ghost Shadow Sword Technique a sword technique that can only be played with the Ghost Shadow Sword?"

Tianxiang said, "First of all, I want to tell you how to use the Ghost Shadow Sword. The essence of the Ghost Shadow Sword is an energy body with a soul, and I told you before that there are two conditions that must be met to use it, the first is that it has no owner, and the second is that you have to become its master. ”

Hans was confused, and he asked, "What is the master?"

Tianxiang said: "The so-called master is just a title given according to my understanding, to use the Ghost Shadow Sword, you must be approved by it, when it recognizes you, you are its master, and no one else can use him anymore." If the previous owner dies, or voluntarily renounces using it, then it becomes ownerless, and anyone can try to get its approval. ”

Hans asked, "Now that its owner is you, if I want to use it, I have to give it up first?" How can I get its approval? It won't be a blood confession, right?"

Tianxiang said: "To be recognized by it, it is necessary to communicate with the soul with it, and before communicating, you must treat it as a living being, not a sword. This recognition process is the hardest part, and it's hard to tell you how. However, I have developed a set of swordsmanship, and I can increase the likelihood of being recognized by it by using swordsmanship, so I will call this set of swordsmanship Ghost Shadow Swordsmanship. ”

Hans didn't ask any more questions, waiting for Tianxiang to teach him the ghost sword technique.

Tianxiang said: "There are only three moves in the ghost shadow sword technique, but each move has no fixed movements, and some are just artistic conceptions. ”

Tianxiang continued to say to Hans: "The first move is the stab, you should also know when you learn the basics, the thorn is the most difficult to defend, and most of the countermeasures are dodge. ”

"And the second move is produced in order to deal with the enemy's dodge, generally it is a cut, and the second move comes when the enemy begins to dodge, and many times the enemy is forced to parry, so the purpose of this move is achieved. ”

"When the enemy chooses to parry, the third move is dispatched, which is to use the flaw of the enemy's parry to attack another position where he can no longer dodge and parry, so as to achieve the purpose of killing, and this move is called killing. ”

"But it should be noted that this is an artistic conception, the first move is not necessarily a stab, and the second move is not necessarily a cut, our purpose is only to force the enemy to make a choice, and don't think that the first two moves can subdue the enemy, that is just a false move. But if there is an opportunity, a false move can also be turned into a real move, which requires combat experience. ”

After Tianxiang finished speaking, he picked up a branch and said to Hans, "Be careful!"

Hans looked at Tianxiang and saw him rushing towards him, the branch tucked in front of his chest, leaving the thorn unthorned, not knowing where to stab, and then he chose to retreat to the right rear. It's just that when his foot is forced, the person has not yet withdrawn, and the branch of Tianxiang has been changed to sweep, sweeping from the right, and Hans's man is still in the air, and he can no longer do any dodging. had to raise his sword to parry. When Tianxiang's branch was about to sweep Hans's sword, suddenly Tianxiang ghostly moved a distance, and the branch in his hand changed from chopping to thorning, stabbing straight from Hans's erected sword, and pointed at Hans's chest.

Hans stood stunned when he was hit, and he could see very clearly that Zuihou's move was a straight stab in the movement that he had practiced for ten days!

This is Tianxiang said: "Have you noticed that I didn't use much liliang, nor did I burst out with a high speed, it was purely a skill." ”

Hans thought for a while, and then he said, "What if the enemy does not dodge or parry at the first move, but directly counterattacks?"

Tianxiang said, "Then you try it." After saying that, Tianxiang prepared a second attack.

Hans watched intently again, and when Tianxiang began to charge at him, he calculated the attack distance, his sword was longer than a branch, and he should be able to attack Tianxiang first.

I saw that when Tianxiang was almost rushing, he leaned forward, drew his sword, and blocked Tianxiang's way from the bottom left to the top right.

Tianxiang lunged forward, dodging Hans's sword, and then immediately put his left hand on the ground, and his right hand stretched out a branch and hit Hans directly in the chest.

Hans frowned and said, "You monkey is short and nimble, of course you are suitable for this style of play." ”

Tianxiang said, "Do you think so? Okay, you wait. With that, he ran out.

After a while, a humanoid snow monster walked in from outside, with a short wooden stick in his hand, and said to Hans, "This is about the same size, isn't it?"

Hans saw that the snow monster was indeed a little taller than himself, and that the wooden stick he was holding was short and bulky.

And he said, "Well, do it again." ”

Hans watched as the snow monster began to rush towards it, and then swept his sword straight in front of it, trying to block all its path.

The snow monster lay down on the ground, and then the wooden stick swept Hans's leg, and Hans fell to the ground unsteadily.

Then Tianxiang said: "Don't forget, tall people have longer hands and feet, and there is something you haven't figured out yet." When the master is fighting, many times the enemy does not move, I do not move, this is weishenme? Because a move is likely to produce a flaw, and there is a way to deal with a flaw. And the first move of the ghost sword technique is to use the move that has no flaws in itself to force the opponent to use the flawed moves, so as to create conditions for the next attack. ”

Hans was very unwilling, and he said, "One more time." ”

Tianxiang also took the trouble to cast continuously, and every time it was a starting hand of closing the sword and rushing forward, but it would change halfway. No matter how Hans changes, he can't escape the fate of this thorn.

"One more time. ”

"One more time!"

He even began to use magic, and eventually he obeyed.

Hans was puzzled and asked, "Even though I didn't make any moves with magic, you can still find my flaws?"

Tianxiang smiled, and he said, "Originally, the way you stood was a big flaw, besides, when you used magic, your eyes betrayed you. ”

Tianxiang continued: "You have to pay attention to the enemy, take the position as an example, standing with both feet side by side is not conducive to moving back and forth, and on the other hand, standing front and backward is not conducive to moving left and right. And it also depends on whether it is in front of the left foot or in front of the right foot, whether the enemy's hand holding the weapon is left or right, and so on. ”
