Chapter 55: Choosing a Blade
Another half a month had passed, and by this time Hans had been able to complete the task of physical training and was preparing to start receiving technical training.
Rab said to Hans and Reina: "You can practice swordsmanship from now on, but you still have to keep exercising every day, but you can reduce it a little, Hans, you can run 5 laps a day and then start practicing swords, Reyna runs 3 laps, and climbing is still the original goal." ”
Hans and Rena glanced at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes, they had thought that after passing the test, they would not need to undergo such physical training, but the result was only a little less.
Raab said, "Come with me and choose a weapon." ”
Then Rab took Hans and Reyna to a hall where weapons were stored, and there were many weapons of all kinds, including more than thirty swords alone.
Raab said: "Swords can be divided into one-handed and two-handed swords, the difference between them is the length of the handle, in general, two-handed swords will be heavier than one-handed swords, but this is not absolute. The two-handed sword can also be used one-handed if it has enough strength, but doing so sacrifices the agility of the one-handed sword. Usually, when you take a shield in battle, you use a one-handed sword, and if you don't hold a shield, you use both hands. ”
"In addition to the one-handed division, there are also long and short, light and heavy, and some light swords are made of unilateral blades, such a structure can increase the sword's chopping ability, and it does not need to be too heavy. ”
"The heavy sword's attack methods are mainly slashing and stabbing, and it is powerful and suitable for facing heavily armored enemies. The attack method of the light sword is mainly stabbing, and it can also cut some defensive equipment such as leather armor. The single-edged sword, on the other hand, has both the ability to stab and slash, and the weight is lighter than that of a heavy sword, but it is more difficult to use. ”
"All the weapons here are practice weapons without blades, you can choose a sword that you think is suitable to practice, and it is best to use this kind of sword in the future, because of the relationship of habit, changing weapons in the middle will lead to the waste of what you have learned before. ”
With that, Rab stood aside and waited for them to pick slowly.
The three-star sword that Hans used before was also a light sword, but this time he didn't choose it casually, but asked Tianxiang: "Master Tianxiang, what kind of sword do you think I can use to exert more power?"
Tianxiang's voice sounded and said, "Your left arm guard has the function of a shield, and it doesn't need to be held by hand, so you can use a two-handed sword to increase your power, or you can choose to use two one-handed swords to enrich your tactics." But a sword that is too heavy is not for you, and there are three options left, the easiest is a two-handed double-edged sword, followed by a two-handed single-edged sword, and the hardest is a two-handed one-handed sword. ”
Hans listened and thought as he looked at the so-called single-edged sword, which looked like an unbent katana.
Just when Hans was still hesitating, Tianxiang said again: "I have a set of swordsmanship that is very suitable for the play of single-edged swords, and after learning, it is powerful, which can allow you to create an advantage in the battle of enemies of the same level, but the disadvantage is that it is more difficult to learn than two swords." ”
Hans frowned and said, "Difficult swordsmanship?"
Tianxiang said: "If you dare to challenge the difficulties, you can give it a try, I think you have a chance to defeat Barre by choosing a single-edged sword." ”
When Hans heard this, he did not hesitate to go over and pick up a single-edged sword, and said to Rab, "I'll use this one." ”
However, Rena chose two one-handed swords, and it seems that she has also communicated with Tianxiang, and she is very unconvinced to challenge the difficulty.
After choosing the weapon, Rab said: "You guys take the weapon and go back to rest today, by the way, a little familiarity, because Hans has chosen some special swordsmanship cultivation methods, which must be taught by Master Tianxiang himself, so Rena will learn from me tomorrow, and Hans will be arranged by Master Tianxiang." ”
Reyna looked at Hans in surprise and said, "What special swordsmanship?"
Hans looked at the single-edged sword in his hand and said, "I don't know, but I just heard from Master Tianxiang that I am more suitable for practicing this kind of swordsmanship." ”
......
The next day, due to the reduction in the number of physical exercises, Hans was finished by noon.
After eating, they gathered again at Rab's training ground.
Rab said: "Master Tianxiang said that he wanted to teach Hans the single-edged swordsmanship, and I can't teach you this swordsmanship, so I can only demonstrate it by his old man himself." ”
Then, behind Hans and Reyna came a monkey!
I saw that the monkey was full of white hair, holding a branch in his hand, and slowly walking on the ground, looking like an old man walking with a cane.
The monkey came up to them, and Hans said to the monkey, "Master Tianxiang?"
I saw that the monkey actually opened his mouth and said, "Of course it's me." "The sound made by the monkey is very similar to the sound in the air before.
Although Hans had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked when he actually saw it.
Rena also said, "Hello Master Tianxiang, we have finally met. ”
Tianxiang said: "I saw you as early as the first time you came to this valley to bathe. ”
When Reyna heard this, she immediately blushed and said, "You, you, how can you do this!"
Hans frowned as well, had he been teasing these girls like this before?
Tianxiang said: "What does it matter, you must take a bath anyway, does it matter if I don't see it?"
Then the monkey lifted the branch and pointed at Reyna and said, "Don't you want to learn swordsmanship?"
Rena also quickly calmed down, but her expression was not very good-looking, and Hans also listened attentively to Tianxiang's words.
Tianxiang said to Reina: "Rab can teach you the basic use of the dual sword, and when you reach a level, I can take over, and there are some advanced skills to learn later." ”
Then he said to Hans, "As for Hans, you have chosen the single-edged sword, and this weapon is something that Rab has never learned, so come with me." ”
Hans glanced at Reyna and followed the monkey.
Looking at the monkey in front of him walking slowly, Hans was a little impatient, and he asked, "Master Tianxiang, where are we going to cultivate?"
The monkey continued to walk without saying a word, until he reached the side of the waterfall, and then suddenly jumped to the waterfall and disappeared behind the waterfall.
Hans stared wide-eyed, could it be that there was a cave behind the waterfall? Then he raised his hand at the waterfall and cast a wind shield to block some of the falling water, and then saw a cave appear behind the waterfall, and the monkey had already gone inside.
Hans also jumped in and followed the monkey.
The cave gets wider and wider the further you go inside, it slowly becomes a hall-like space. The monkey had stopped, and he took a black stick from a stone table and brought it to Hans.
