Chapter 1115: Different Choices
In the carriage of the carriage, Emma and Malika confronted each other with swords, the former with a solemn face, and the latter showing no signs of perfunctory.
Emma was the first to move, her speed was not very fast, but she was able to leave a lot of afterimages in place, like seven or eight of her acting in a way that overlapped her front and back at the same time, and these afterimages did not dissipate instantly, but stayed in place for a while.
This is the sub-chapter body martial arts "Shadow in the Cup" derived from the human evil seal, which is a body method suitable for use in a small space, and the effect will continue to grow stronger with the use of time, theoretically the entire room can be covered with their own afterimages, from confusing the other party's sight, so that they can not judge which is true and which is false.
Of course, this is a low-level martial art after all, and there are many ways to crack it, such as listening to the sound and arguing the position, and such as sensing the breath, the afterimage is only an afterimage after all, it will not make a sound, and there is no real breath.
However, the real value of this body method originally lies in the effect of surprise attacks, which can be used suddenly, surprising the opponent, whether it is used to dodge a deadly attack or launch a deadly attack, it has an unexpected effect, not everyone is as proficient in the magic of machine change as Luo Feng, and can think of a way to crack it in just a moment.
Malika didn't attack, she waited until the moment when Marika used the effect of the shadow in the cup to its strongest, and her body suddenly moved, leaving only a pink trace in place.
Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, running like thunder!
Malika didn't make out which was the real body and which was the afterimage, she thought all the figures were the real Emma, and slashed everything with a lightning speed of the sword, and she was no longer seen in the carriage room, only a red sword light was cutting everything.
If Emma's body is fast and everywhere, and Malika's body is fast and exists nowhere, one is "being" and the other is "nothing".
The title "Crimson Flash" refers to the fact that when Marika fights, only a flash of crimson remains, which refers to her hair on the one hand, and blood splattered when she kills on the other.
Emma's afterimage was shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and with a third of the time remaining, she was finally captured by Malika.
At the moment when the two swords clashed, Emma, who realized that she could no longer continue to play "hide and seek", burst out with a fighting spirit and tried her best to counterattack.
However, as soon as the momentum of her attack broke out, she was suppressed back by Marika with a sharp triple slash, and then a series of dense offensive and defensive battles followed.
Emma was finally defeated after receiving eight swords in a row, and was pierced through the shoulder by Malika's sword, and she couldn't help but scream in the intense pain.
This is what Luo Feng meant, in order not to let the training be superficial and make Emma slack, he instructed Malika to be heavy-handed, anyway, as long as he didn't take his life instantly, he could save it with his hand.
Bloodless training has no value, but it will make people feel inert, and they feel that it doesn't matter if they fail, and once they get used to this kind of cognition, they will inevitably bring the same mental state to the actual battle, and it will be too late to regret it.
Rather than this, it is better to bleed more now, if not fatally, but from time to time to have a hand cut off, this pain is by no means something Emma is willing to bear, forcing her not to take it seriously.
In fact, now only being pierced through the shoulder, rather than being cut off, has already demonstrated the effect of this kind of combat training.
Luo Feng casually cast a healing spell to make the wound on Emma's shoulder heal, and said, "Yes, the time to hold on is ten seconds longer than before." ”
Emma smiled bitterly, "Jumping from the bronze level to the silver level, is it just ten seconds more?"
In the past few days, it may have been stimulated by the spiritual coercion of the King of the Sea, which caused Emma to break through the bronze step ahead of schedule, otherwise according to the original estimate, it would have taken at least a month.
In the early stage of cultivation, when the lower rank, the strength improvement is the most rapid, not to mention the superior exercises, the guidance of the strong and the supplement of the elixir, all aspects are the most superior conditions that others dream of, it is not surprising that Emma has such a speed of progress, but it is better to say that if she is still progressing like other mercenaries, it will really be stupid to become a pig.
You must know that even those saints and sons of the three top sects, or the princes and grandsons of the empire, it is difficult to have the opportunity to get the guidance of legendary powerhouses, let alone Luo Feng, an existence that is above the legend and breaks through the world's specifications.
According to estimates, Emma will be able to advance to the top of the Silver Rank in the next eight months, but it will take three to five years to advance from the Silver Rank to the Gold Rank, depending on her cultivation situation, the former is a quantitative accumulation, and the latter is a qualitative breakthrough.
Reinak, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, said: "To be honest, you can support in front of 'Crimson Flash' for half a minute, which is beyond imagination, you must know that in that Holy Demon War, even if the silver is in the upper position, it is often impossible to receive the three swords of the 'Crimson Flash', and the silver lower position is usually an instant kill." In every battle, you will see a very amazing side, wherever 'Crimson' rushes over, those people will fall forward like wheat in the autumn harvest, and in terms of killing efficiency, I am afraid that only a mage can beat 'Crimson'. ”
His words were not out of flattery, and in Luo Feng's eyes, he could see that Malika's sword skills would exert unimaginable lethality when dealing with enemies weaker than her, killing people was like cutting leeks, in short, if you can't keep up with the speed, you will die, so it is easy to kill instantly.
On the contrary, if it is against a master of the same level, once she has carried the "three-plate axe" in the early stage, it will be easy to fall into a stalemate, and her sword skills are more flexible, and her strength is just average, and it is difficult to break through the defense when she encounters an opponent with rough skin and thick flesh, and she is limited by the natural disadvantage of women, and she will inevitably lack endurance.
Emma was able to resist Malika's series of attacks because her internal strength strengthened her intuition, and she was more sensitive to the capture of breath than ordinary war professionals, and the martial arts of the Oriental system itself was also biased towards skills, and it was against Malika's sword skills, which belonged to the same system, and it was easy for the two sides to draw, but it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
"Don't use the 'shadow in the cup' for defense and dodge, that's the use of 'parting' and 'cunning', the 'shadow in the cup' is more suitable for attacking and counterattacking, and don't use it at the beginning of the fight, this will only make the opponent prepare in advance, know how to pick the right time. At the moment of separating the afterimage, it can make the opponent's judgment slightly deviate, which is the true value of the 'shadow in the cup', and you must know how to take advantage of the opponent's momentary distraction to launch a deadly attack. ”
Lovon points out Emma's mistakes in the fight and helps her learn from them.
At the end of the reflection, Emma let out a long breath, and the nerves that had been tense were relaxed.
She glanced at Malika, who was practicing against her, and sighed: "Malika's predecessor's sword skills are really terrifying, and when she aimed at it with the tip of her sword, she couldn't help but want to take a step back and try to avoid a head-to-head duel. ”
"Terrible?" Malika asked, taking a bite of the brioche bread in her hand, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Emma just said casually, but she didn't expect the other party to ask, "Well, I should say that you can't see the enemy...... It doesn't seem right, but it has nothing to do with the enemy in front of you. ”
Malika tilted her head: "I don't understand, to be clear." ”
It was very difficult to put feelings into words, and Emma had to rack her brains to think: "When I was fighting you, I noticed that you didn't seem to be focusing on me...... No, your eyes are indeed focused on me, but your mind doesn't seem to be fighting me, giving me the feeling that you are fighting with something else. ”
"Something else?"
"I don't know what to say, but I think you seem to be staring at a more distant goal, maybe you have overlapped other people's images on me, don't all those bard stories say that? A qualified warrior has a goal in his heart that he wants to surpass and fight for it. ”
"What I want to surpass......"
Malika was lost in thought, but she did not stop eating the bread, and ate it as fast as she could, destroying one in an instant, and then picking up the other.
"It's my feeling after all, maybe it's not accurate, you don't have to take it seriously......"
"Father. "To be sure, I think I'm fighting my father's apparition. ”
"Is the father of the predecessor also a swordsman?"
"My father was one of Jahana's famous swordsmen and a former mercenary. When I was a child, my father was very strict with me and always taught me the survival style of a mercenary, and when I was five or six years old, he began to teach me swordsmanship. ”
"Senpai started learning swords at such a young age?" Emma thought for a moment, and found that she had completely forgotten even the memories of when she was five or six years old, with only a few vague memory fragments.
"In Jahana, there is no other way to make a living except as a mercenary, and my father taught me swordsmanship so that I can learn how to survive, and in that resource-poor environment, people will fight each other for a little food, and you can't let your guard down anytime and anywhere. In order to cultivate my ability to survive, my father would place two short swords on either side of my side before I went to sleep, so as to remind me that I should sleep like a corpse, and never make any movement, otherwise I would be found by the beasts in the night. ”
"Well, that's too harsh, isn't it?"
Emma was dumbfounded, and if you compare this to this, Lovon's training of her was as kind as a grandmother in the church.
"Father to me...... It is both a family member and a master, and it is a mountain that I have to cross. Beyond that high mountain, I can see the sword of ideals in my mind. ”
"That's really a big mountain, in the eyes of my predecessors, how high have I climbed now? 30% high, half high, or is it already at the top?"
"It's still at the bottom of the mountain. ”
"My father's father is so strong! In this way, my predecessor still has a long way to go. ”
Emma turned her head to look at Luo Feng, and subconsciously compared who was strong and who was weak, but she immediately thought that even if Malika's father was really as strong as she described, he was at most a legendary powerhouse, and her employer, even the king of the ocean at the peak of the legend, was taken away, and I am afraid that only a few true gods in this world are qualified to compete with him.
What's more, what the predecessor said just now may be an exaggeration, although Emma has no father, she also once fantasized that she has a powerful, noble status, and a noble mission, and abandoned her father for a last resort.
Girls always have a deep admiration for their father, and Emma feels that Malika may have inadvertently raised her father's image in her heart, after all, Malika is already on the golden level, and there are not many peaks to be seen above.
However, there is no need to say such things.
"Well, I can't see the top of the mountain yet, but I can only keep climbing and never stop......"
After Malika finished the bread in her hand, she took another one, and it made people wonder if she wanted to eat it forever.
Emma cheered, "I believe that the seniors will surpass your father one day." ”
At the same time, she sighed silently in her heart, anyway, I have no hope of surpassing that person.
"Well, I'll do it. Malika's tone was firm and confident.
"I'll help you shorten the distance. Luo Feng suddenly opened his mouth and took out two memory crystals, "The two sets of martial arts recorded here can help you, one can strengthen your own strengths, and the other can make up for your shortcomings." ”
These two sets of martial arts are from "Scattered Bird Method" and "Raising Zhi Law Spirit Tortoise" respectively, Luo Feng deliberately combined the characteristics of the martial arts of his own world, and modified the content, removing the mysterious and mysterious parts, leaving only practical skills.
Among them, "Scattered Birds" can bring more changes to Marika's body style, so that she is no longer forced to be limited to straight sword skills because it is difficult to move and transform at high speed.
"The Spirit Turtle of the Cultivation Method" provides breathing methods, although it is not internal strength, but it also has the effect of enhancing physical fitness, which can improve endurance and recovery, making Malika's attacks both explosive and persistent.
Malika didn't look closely, and after taking the crystal, she said in an unwavering voice, "Thank you." ”
With the strength that Luo Feng showed before, it was enough for her to have confidence, and she didn't have to worry about taking out something that was not good.
Emma glanced at the coordinates of the magic compass, confirmed the position of the carriage and the direction it was heading, and asked Luo Feng, "Don't we have to go to the Dragon Valley?"
"There's no need. ”
Luo Feng stretched out his five fingers, and the magic power surged in his palm, condensing into a curtain, which reflected a scene of people coming and going in a bar, and at the same time there was a lively noise.
In the very center of the picture, there is Quincy drinking freely with a wine glass, his face is slightly drunk, obviously he has drunk a lot of wine, and he is in high spirits, holding the left hand of a young girl, and is secretly teasing the sensitive parts of the girl with a secret technique.
"Quincy, don't be like this, there are too many people here......" The girl twisted her body shyly, dodging the other party's groping hand, and tried to change the topic, "You came back this time and made a lot of money, did you really dig up the treasure." ”
"The treasure of fart! It's just a little scum from between someone's teeth! He's stupid to me, what kind of test, Dragon Valley is such a dangerous place, only one out of ten can escape back, and the remaining nine died on the way, so I won't be so unthinking, kidding with my own life. How much benefit there is, how much risk there is, I still have a good life to squander, how can I gamble my life casually. If you have money, you have to spend it, and if you have a woman, you have to do it, this is my philosophy of life!"
Quincy stood up, and said with great ambition: "Look, with this money, I will soon be able to become the mayor of the town, and then seek the title, and sooner or later I will become a lord, and at that time, what kind of woman will not be able to get it? Look at that little girl, who is trained like a dog every day, what is the point of such a painful and boring life, even if she can become a strong man in the future? Haha, when she achieves something, maybe I will become a big lord, and then I will use the money to hire her and become her employer." Hahaha, yes, her hard work is just to serve me one day, and at that time, I will ask her if she regrets it. ”
