Chapter 1513 Gu Xun'er

"My stick skills are derived from sword skills."

"Not the last one."

"But the two previous attacks were mainly based on stabbing sword techniques."

"So, I recommend that you learn swordsmanship first."

“In this way, you may be able to get started faster.”

Clear skies.

No clouds.

The sun is high in the sky and the weather is hot.

From the date when the incident happened.

More than a week has passed.

The six-year-old Lin Chaoci held a long sword in his hand. Although this long sword was the style used by adults and was slightly larger in his hand, and because of the material of the long sword, it was forged from fine steel, the weight issue was also not negligible. However, for Lin Chaoci, who was at the ninth level of Dou Zhi Qi and had a theoretical strength of over 900 kilograms and an actual strength of over 7,500 kilograms, this was just a toy, no different from him holding a toothpick, except for the difference in appearance.

And not far in front of him.

Five meters away.

He also held a fine steel sword.

At this moment, it is being held horizontally.

The tip of the sword shook slightly, and sweat was faintly visible on his forehead.

The maid Xiaodie is basking in the sun.

"Of course, if you are not interested in swordsmanship and are not that compatible with it, I recommend that you learn spearmanship, because spearmanship can also help you reach the pinnacle of stabbing."

"The Zhongping spear is the most difficult to defend against."

"However, the reason why I recommend swordsmanship is more due to the consideration of distance and sword intent... The core concept of spearmanship is that an inch longer is an inch stronger, and distance is an advantage. To put it bluntly, it is like a long hand beating a short hand, while swordsmanship is to take the middle, to take the best among all kinds of weapons... Although the spear can indeed have a great advantage in the fighting spirit stage, when you become a fighter and have a weapon embedded with a magic core, you can stimulate fighting spirit and launch long-range attacks such as sword energy or knife energy, then the advantage between the spear and the sword will be eliminated... So considering the overall performance, the swordsmanship that can let you go further is better than the spearmanship that can make you stronger for a while, especially when it comes to sword intent."

"I just recreated that blow for you."

"You also saw the blow with your own eyes."

"I'm sure you now know how it feels to face this blow head-on."

"That feeling where time around you slows down, and only the sword stabbing you has a normal flow of time, so that you can see it but cannot avoid it... This feeling of reality being torn apart is the sword intention, and it is also something that the spearmanship that is good at controlling distance is not good at creating, because the spearmanship is too focused on distance and always advocates the length of the hand, while the core concept of this sword intention is to cut through the myriad intentions, neither too long nor too short, neither unstable nor dangerous, and to win with the intention of being a pillar in the middle of the stream."

"Compared to long weapons, it may seem dangerous, but in fact victory or defeat depends on a split second."

"Compared to short weapons, it may seem safe, but in fact, victory or defeat depends on a matter of inches."

"Neither long nor short. For example, a long sword is about the same length as a long sword. Even if the opponent is holding a long sword, it is neither too far nor too far, between a split second and a fraction of an inch."

"So, this sword intent is composed of two parts."

"One is fast, also called instant sword intent."

"The first one is slow, also called the Eternal Sword Intent."

"Two sword intentions combined together."

"It's eternity in an instant."

"It is also the full name of this sword intent."

"However, the name is just a code name. If you think this name is too confusing, you can also call it Fast and Slow Sword Intent."

Standing under the scorching sun, Lin Chaoci slowly explained the basic theories to the little maid who wanted to learn something from him. Although these basic theories were just the basics in his opinion, for those old hands who had practiced sword for many years, they were still quite profound experiences, even if they were just talk on paper.

But for Xiaodie who was struggling to hold the sword at this moment.

She accepted this kind of teaching from the beginning.

It doesn’t seem particularly difficult to learn.

It's not just because the starting point is too high, but also because her own understanding is high enough, and Lin Chaoci is not a person who only talks nonsense and fantasizes.

"Of course, I've told you so much just to let you know about your future path. You can't access such a high level right now."

"For you now...holding a sword properly is what you should practice."

"Maybe you're going to ask, what is good?"

"Or, how tight is considered good?"

Lin Chaoci weighed the sword in his hand. Although this fine steel sword was nothing special and was far inferior to those weapons inlaid with magic cores, and even more inferior to the sword sent by the great elder the day before yesterday, not everyone could use this thing as a training weapon, and ordinary families simply could not afford it.

Then, he looked at Xiaodie who was holding the sword with difficulty.

Smile softly.

Answer to my previous question: "Hold it until you get used to it... In other words, when you can hold it without feeling tired, it means you have learned how to hold the sword and can hold it well!"

"what?"

Even though Xiaodie was very focused, she was still distracted by Lin Chaoci's answer.

In surprise, the tip of the sword trembled.

The white and thin arms also began to tremble.

You can see the muscles twitching just under the skin.

"The sword is dead, but the man is alive."

“You have to learn to adapt.”

"Understand?"

"If you can't lift it, don't force it. This isn't the only correct posture. The purpose of holding the sword horizontally is to train your muscles and let you experience the feeling of muscle force... When the fight really starts, this posture is useless. No matter how steady you hold the sword, it can't withstand the opponent's powerful collision. Strength can defeat skill... Make up for the gap in strength with realm, and refine fighting spirit. This is a course you will have to face in the evening. What you should consider now is how to get a longer time holding the sword without affecting the fixed position!"

“It’s like carrying a bucket full of water.”

“Walking down the road.”

"If your left hand can't lift it anymore, you can switch to your right hand."

“If you keep using your left hand to carry it, even if you carry it back in one breath and no one is thrown away, your left hand will lose strength in a short while and you won’t be able to lift it… Repeating this practice can certainly strengthen your muscles, but it won’t improve your accuracy at all. If you walk too fast, the water in the bucket will still splash out… How to prevent the water in the bucket from splashing out when changing hands is the real entry point, and it also means you have mastered the sword!”

"Relax the muscles in your arms."

"You hold the sword in your hand, not support it."

"Fingers, fingers, what are you holding with your fingers?"

"Don't hold on to the sword too tightly... this is not a test of your grip strength."

"The power is in the wrist."

"sink."

"From the wrist to the forearm, and then to the elbow joint... that is, the elbow."

"From the elbow to the upper arm, to the shoulder joint."

“Use your spine as your core.”

"Down, connect the waist, hips, legs and feet."

"Left, connect your left half."

"Up, it's your little head."

"Since your right hand can no longer support you, then find out the center of gravity of the sword. Stack one center of gravity on top of another, following the route I just mentioned... Use your wrist to distribute part of the force of the sword, use your elbow to distribute part of the force of the sword, and use your shoulder joint to distribute part of the force... Repeat this process to the extreme."

"Don't slow down your breathing, and I'm not asking you to speed up. Just maintain the original frequency... It doesn't mean that if you hold your breath and concentrate, the tip of the sword will stop shaking... Remember, as long as the sword doesn't shake, it doesn't matter if you shake or not!"

Looking at Xiaodie, she seemed to understand but not quite.

Lin Chaoci raised the sword in his hand.

Not too lightly or too heavily, he knocked on the front, middle and back parts of the sword in Xiaodie's hand respectively. Then, he also tapped the middle and back part of the sword in Xiaodie's hand. It was as if it hit some support, and with a clang, the fine steel sword fell to the ground.

"That's where your focus was just now."

“It didn’t sink.”

"So, you are holding it by force."

"Rather than holding it with skill."

"What's the difference between the first three tones and the last one?"

"Did you hear that?"

Lin Chaoci looked at Xiaodie who was panting slightly.

No mercy.

Some are just serious.

In other words, if Xiaodie can't even bear this little bit of hardship and grievance, then she should stop practicing sword. Although his tone was not gentle, it was not harsh either. He did not suppress Xiaodie's personality. He was just talking about the facts. In the above situation, if Xiaodie couldn't hold on, it would be purely her own problem. Anyway, he gave Xiaodie this opportunity to change her fate. Whether Xiaodie can seize this opportunity depends on her own character.

Therefore, there is no need for mercy.

This is just one of the costs of being a superior person.

Moreover, it is no exaggeration to say that there are countless people who want to accept his guidance. Not to mention the distant past, just take the sword sent by the Great Elder the day before yesterday. Just now, Xiaodie said that she wanted to learn swordsmanship from him, so he made a report and went to the logistics department of the Xiao family to borrow two wooden swords. Then, within two hours, the Great Elder came with a bunch of professional tools. The wooden swords were arranged in order from large to small, and all the styles circulating on the market were processed and made. In addition, there are two fine steel swords, not to mention two fine steel knight swords, and two rare fine steel soft swords. It can even be said that the sword sent by the Great Elder is an enchanted weapon inlaid with a magic core. You have to know that she is not a woman, and the Great Elder is not interested in men. People have satisfied him with all the highest configurations, just to make friends with him deliberately.

But what is the purpose of deliberately making friends with him?

Of course, it is to pave the way for future generations!

To put it bluntly, it is enough for you to take my grandchildren out to play. If you could take the time to teach them a few tricks and give them some advice and suggestions in the future, I would be very grateful!

If he spoke now.

Talk to the Great Elder.

Bring your grandson Xiao Ning and granddaughter Xiao Yu here.

I'll give them special training.

Teach them how to fight.

The Great Elder must be very unhappy.

He even told Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu before sending them here that they must be obedient, study hard and watch carefully, because this is their chance.

For Xiaodie, who came from a humble background.

What this opportunity means.

Obviously, there is no need to say more.

However, Xiaodie obviously knew this, and picked up the sword that fell on the ground, thinking: "The first three sounds were crisp and echoing, but the last one was dull, like... hitting a wooden stake, and knocking the sword in my hand directly to the ground..."

“So, the focus is the most important thing.”

“Imagine that.”

"In combat."

"What happens if your opponent hits the center of gravity of your weapon?"

"What happens if you hit the center of gravity of your opponent's weapon?"

"And if you sink your center of gravity into your body... even if you can't block the opponent's powerful swing, your weapon won't be knocked off by the blow."

Say so.

Lin Chaoci grabbed a nearby wooden man.
