Chapter 53 A Weapon Shop
"If possible, try not to choose a sword. It doesn't offer an advantage when facing monsters or other enemies."
"Teacher, why?" Fei Xiaobao asked.
"There's no particular reason, it's just that its lethality is relatively weak."
"Oh, okay."
Upon hearing this...
Fei Xiaobao ran to the shelf and exchanged his sword for the same Tang sword as Xiao Weiqing's.
Zhao Jia nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."
Fei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Hehe, teacher, I'm the kind of person who likes to listen to advice."
Zhao Jia nodded, "Mm."
The formal teaching will now begin.
"Take the knife as an example, and indeed most one-handed weapons—it all comes down to one word: speed!"
"Fast speed, quick action, and fast reaction."
"You people who possess extraordinary talents in 'skill' and 'spirit' don't need to learn those fancy moves."
"When the enemy gets close, you only need to parry, and in an instant, you can use your innate skill attack to counterattack."
"However, how can I react quickly and attack/block swiftly?"
Fei Xiaobao said, "Yes, how about it?"
Zhao Jia nodded to Fei Xiaobao.
"Quick reflexes, physical tempering, and physical training are all natural traits, such as naturally sharp nerves. Of course, these can also be developed through training, but it requires a gradual process."
"To strike quickly, you need to practice fixed movements repeatedly and use the simplest way to strike."
talking.
Zhao Jia repeatedly drew his sword, sheathed it, and demonstrated both forehand and backhand techniques several times.
Everyone watched intently. An expert's skill is immediately apparent. Zhao Jia's movements were so concise, even simple, without a single superfluous motion.
"Next, let's have a practical exercise."
"What's your name?"
Zhao Jia asked Fei Xiaobao.
"Teacher, my name is Fei Xiaobao."
"Okay, Fatty Fei, get the knife and try to cut me."
Fei Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat. "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
He took a step forward and slashed straight down with his sword.
"Ding!~"
Zhao Jia turned to the side and struck Fei Xiaobao's Tang sword hilt with the back of his blade. Fei Xiaobao immediately felt a tremendous force coming from the back of the blade, and the Tang sword slipped from his hand.
"Idiot, was this a move I just taught you?"
"Splitting Mount Hua with force is either a move used by a master swordsman or the most foolish move. It leaves the center wide open, allowing for offense but no defense. Even if I hadn't drawn my sword just now, you would have already stumbled. When you draw your sword, you need to have some reserve power to use for changing moves."
Fei Xiaobao suddenly realized: "So that's what my move is called, Splitting Mount Hua!"
"..."
Zhao Jia cursed, "Get out of here and practice the knife-drawing posture I just taught you a thousand times."
"Okay, teacher."
Fei Xiaobao, who was very obedient, took the knife, walked to the side, and practiced it again and again, meticulously, and gradually became quite skilled.
Zhao Jia then asked, "Who is Xiao Weiqing?"
"Teacher, I am Xiao Weiqing."
"Come, your extraordinary talent is fire, isn't it? You can use magic abilities."
Fei Xiaobao, who was standing nearby, became unhappy upon hearing this. "Teacher, why?"
"Add 200 times."
Fei Xiaobao: "..."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, not refusing, after all, the opportunity was rare.
Without hesitation, he gripped the Tang sword at his waist with his right hand.
"Clang!"
With a soft hum, the Tang sword was drawn.
A single slash moves from bottom to top, instantly covering the blade in flames.
"boom!"
The friction with the air created a whistling sound as it attacked Zhao Jia.
"Good timing!"
Zhao Jia secretly admired him.
"This kid is indeed quite capable. It's hard to imagine someone who has only recently awakened possessing such control over flames. No wonder he was able to defeat several geniuses with level 5 extraordinary talents."
"Clang!~~"
Zhao Jia blocked with his sword, and the two swords clashed, producing a crisp sound.
A knife.
Two cuts.
In the next few strikes, Xiao Weiqing was on the offensive while Zhao Jia was on the defensive, clearly serving as Xiao Weiqing's sparring partner.
Xiao Weiqing didn't make any extra movements; he was simply learning how to wield his sword as Zhao Jia had taught him, except he was using a fire sword.
"Good, you have a strong learning ability. Come on, give it your all," Zhao Jia encouraged.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing didn't hesitate. He slashed at Zhao Jia with his sword, and at the same time, he used a burst of spiritual energy in his left hand to strike Zhao Jia hard with his palm.
Fire Owl—!
Zhao Jia's pupils contracted. "Good heavens."
He realized he had underestimated Xiao Weiqing; this level 3 true technique was surprisingly strong.
Zhao Jia's eyes suddenly changed, his demeanor turned cold, and he instantly transformed into a seasoned warrior.
He took a small step back.
"Cross Slash!"
Zhao Jia did not unleash any spiritual energy; he simply and carefully made two cuts, drawing out the airflow to form a blade aura.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, triggering an explosion and a powerful shockwave that spread outwards.
This drew everyone's attention.
"This Xiao Weiqing, I haven't seen him for a day, but he seems to have improved his strength again."
Duan Shuyu looked incredulous.
Yin Tiantian nodded blankly. She had experienced this move before, and it was indeed much stronger than it had been a few days ago.
Zhao Jia sheathed his sword with satisfaction. "Very good. Your reaction was excellent. You have a great talent for swordsmanship. Remember to practice more in private."
"Understood, Teacher Zhao."
Xiao Weiqing then went to the side and practiced drawing and striking the sword with Fei Xiaobao.
"Alright, you sword practitioners, come here."
"That's exactly what the Sword Master is aiming for..."
At the A-4 training ground, a hundred trainees continuously wielded their weapons, practicing and exchanging sparring blows. The morning passed quickly.
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. Go back and practice hard. The teaching videos are also available on the school's website; just search my name to find them."
"Students of 'Technique' and 'Tool' who have questions about training, please gather here half an hour early for the next class, and I will answer them all at once."
"Let's disband."
The group left.
Xiao Weiqing then went to find Zhao Jia.
"Teacher, do we need to pay for this knife?"
Xiao Weiqing looked helpless at this moment.
During the battle, 10 strands of Qi and Fire were injected, and this steel-forged blade was severely deformed.
Zhao Jia looked at the Tang sword in Xiao Weiqing's hand with surprise.
Although the weapons used for practice at the academy were made of alloy materials, they were generally difficult to damage by ordinary fire. How could Xiao Weiqing's weapon have changed like this after only a few minutes of use?
Zhao Jia took the Tang sword. The hilt was still very warm to the touch. He reached out and gently flicked the blade.
"Ding~!"
The blade had cracked.
"Teacher, this can't be blamed on me."
For a fleeting moment, Xiao Weiqing wondered if Zhao Jia was trying to extort money from him.
"..."
"Don't worry, you don't need to pay. The Upper House doesn't need your few points."
"However, this is indeed a problem for you. Your extraordinary talent is clearly not ordinary fire," Zhao Jia affirmed.
He pondered for a moment.
"Here's an address. Go get a spiritual weapon from him and just say I recommended him."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, and the bracelet transmitted Zhao Jia's information, which included an address.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhao."
After leaving the training ground, he sent Wei Lan a message, telling her to cultivate her spiritual energy on her own, as he had something to do outside.
half an hour.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at a weapons shop.
The shop is very large, nearly a thousand square meters. This is the Upper Campus, the closest place to the center of the university, so you can imagine the strength of this shop.
As I entered, a beautiful receptionist came up to me.
"Hello, trainee, welcome to a weapons shop."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
