"Meditation is a bit difficult, but it does have a significant effect on improving mental strength."
"It's almost time."
"Go find Teacher Zhao and learn swordsmanship."
Grab the Crimson Dragon and head out.
Before returning, Xiao Weiqing had already made an appointment with Zhao Jia, who gave her an address and told her to go to him at 3 p.m.
According to the address given by Zhao Jia.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at an indoor training ground.
at this time.
Zhao Jia was instructing several students, who, judging from their school uniforms, were all second-year students.
"You're here? Please have a seat, it'll be over soon."
"It's alright, Teacher Zhao."
Xiao Weiqing sat to one side and watched Zhao Jia's teaching, which was also a good learning opportunity for him.
Twenty minutes later.
Zhao Jia dismissed the second-year students.
"Xiao Weiqing, come here."
Zhao Jia didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"I taught you some basic moves last time, come and try them out."
"Cut me with a knife."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Okay!"
Clang!
As the red dragon was drawn from its sheath, Xiao Weiqing drew his sword and slashed.
"Hey...hey...what are you doing?"
Zhao Jia glared at him.
Xiao Weiqing stopped, his face full of confusion. "Teacher Zhao, didn't you tell me to chop you up?"
"I told you to cut me, not to use the Crimson Dragon to cut me."
"What if you break these teaching knives of mine? Go get a wooden knife from the shelf."
"Oh well."
Xiao Weiqing sheathed the Crimson Dragon sword and put it down. Then he picked up a wooden sword, which was heavy and felt very high-quality.
"This is made of ironwood, even better than ordinary alloy weapons, making it perfect for teaching."
"Come on, cut me, but don't use your spiritual energy."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, his eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward with a bow stance, delivering a diagonal slash.
"clang"
The two ironwood swords made a metallic sound.
Xiao Weiqing's attack was also easily blocked by Zhao Jia.
"Good, your posture is very standard. It seems you've practiced seriously in private."
Xiao Weiqing did not stop, and took the opportunity to step forward and sweep horizontally.
No.
He turned and slashed downwards.
No.
Every subsequent attempt to provoke him was easily blocked by Zhao Jia.
"Stop, that's enough, very good."
"You have a real talent for using a knife."
Xiao Weiqing sheathed his sword and awaited Zhao Jia's next instructions.
"Did you see my blocking move?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly and then shook his head.
"Remember just a little bit."
Let me demonstrate it for you again.
"First of all, you need to understand that blocking requires more skill and timing than attacking. You can overcome any attack with brute force if you don't have the skill, but you can't do that with blocking."
"When parrying with a knife, remember three key points."
"First, for you magic practitioners, try not to take the attack head-on when parrying. Instead, use the angle of the blade to deflect the enemy's attack or reduce the impact on yourself."
"Secondly, when blocking, you must protect your body's center line; otherwise, it's an ineffective block. Simply put, you must protect your body's center line and avoid exposing vital areas such as the throat, heart, and genitals."
"Third, after blocking, you should quickly create distance or immediately counterattack, otherwise it will be an ineffective block, because that will put you in the opponent's offensive rhythm."
The saying goes, "A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat." The purpose of blocking is not simply to block, but to prepare for the next counterattack.
Xiao Weiqing's eyes lit up. As expected of a weapons master, his words were concise and to the point.
Zhao Jia continued, "Now that you know the approach, let's learn the basic moves."
"Watch closely."
"Lift and parry to deal with lower body slashes or sweeping attacks."
"Brain-wrapping block to deal with attacks from the side or back."
"Block by diverting the attack, using the blade to absorb the attack at an angle, and then guiding the attack away from its original direction."
"..."
"Finally, there's the intercepting dagger, which uses the blade to block and stop the opponent's straight thrust. It's mostly used against swords or spears, and then you can seize the opportunity to close in and counterattack."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, watching Zhao Jia's movements meticulously, while constantly gesturing in response.
Zhao Jia added, "As for the frame, I'll demonstrate it for you, but try not to use it."
Why?
"Because when you encounter a martial arts practitioner, their strength is great, and you generally can't withstand it. Leaving your center wide open is a fatal flaw. When you encounter other magic practitioners or spiritual practitioners, whether you use a parry or not is not very meaningful. The moves mentioned above are enough for you."
Xiao Weiqing nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Teacher Zhao."
"Hmm, let's try it. This time I'll attack and you'll defend. I won't use any spiritual energy, and my strength and speed will remain at a similar level to yours."
Xiao Weiqing's eyes flickered slightly. "Alright, Teacher Zhao, come on."
Zhao Jia shifted to the side and executed a simple diagonal slash with incredible speed, accompanied by a whistling sound.
Xiao Weiqing instinctively parried with his sword.
Clang!
Bang!
Xiao Weiqing was struck by the blade, and his arm went numb.
"No, the angle is wrong."
"Again!"
Another strike, a simple horizontal slash.
Xiao Weiqing parried the attack.
"It's blocked!"
A joy in my heart.
boom!
"snort!"
Xiao Weiqing groaned as his shoulder was struck again.
"What are you doing? After blocking, either create distance or counterattack."
"Again!"
"Clang!~"
"Bang..."
"Again!"
......
Two and a half hours later.
Xiao Weiqing's body was covered in bruises.
Almost no muscle in my upper body is intact, and my whole body aches.
"Alright, that's all for today. Go back and digest this properly."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, wincing in pain. "Teacher Zhao, am I really that bad?"
"poor?"
Why do you think that way?
"You explained it so clearly, and even taught me step by step, but I can't withstand two out of ten blows."
"Hahaha......"
Zhao Jia laughed loudly, "What are you thinking? It would be scary if you could catch it. Even if my strength and speed were on par with yours, you would still be no match for me. My experience and reaction time are far superior to yours."
"I'm already quite surprised that you've persisted for so long."
"Do you know that those kids just now couldn't even last half an hour under my attack at first? They were crying and screaming in pain. And they're martial arts practitioners."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing suddenly realized that he had been overthinking things and hadn't even looked at who was standing opposite him.
Zhao Jia patted Xiao Weiqing's shoulder, causing Xiao Weiqing to gasp in pain.
"Go back and try it with your classmate, then you'll see."
"Okay, Teacher Zhao."
Then Zhao Jia took out another bottle of medicine.
"Here, this is some liniment for bruises and sprains. Apply it yourself when you get home, and use it sparingly."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhao."
"Oh, right."
"Find some time to take on some missions, go outside the academy to slay monsters and draw blood. Your sword has no killing intent."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, bid farewell to Zhao Jia, and dragged his aching body back to the villa.
I ran into Wei Lan right at the door.
