"Hiss... It was so fast just now, and it hurts so much now. Fortunately, I have armor, otherwise I would definitely have to vomit blood."
The advantage of being in school is that you have armor when training. It also protects Lin Yao and Zhang Heng so that you can train fearlessly.
"Is everything okay?"
"No, come again."
Zhang Heng, who refused to admit defeat, wanted to face off with Lin Yao again, but he was the one who lost from now on.
After bursting out his true energy, Lin Yao's strength, speed, and explosive power all exceeded 30% of what he would have in his normal state. The sword-drawing technique is a fast, ruthless and accurate swordsmanship. An extra point can make the difference between life and death, let alone 30%.
Every time they fight, Zhang Heng's fists are always one step behind Lin Yao, and even if he gets it right sometimes, it doesn't help.
With more than 30% of the explosive power and speed, Lin Yao's basic attributes completely overwhelmed him. The collision between fists and swords often ended with Zhang Heng being chopped open and the door wide open. Then, facing Zhang Heng whose center of gravity was unstable. , even if Lin Yao didn't have subsequent sword skills, he could defeat him with just one swing.
However, Lin Yao, who had won consecutive victories, was not happy. He knew very well that his victory was purely based on basic attributes. As both warriors, if Lin Yao's explosive energy and the opponent also exploded, Lin Yao's sword-drawing skills with true energy would still not be able to defeat the opponent. of blocking.
"So, I am still a younger brother who only has the skills to draw swords."
Lin Yao was sighing, while Zhang Heng was speechless.
"You want to kill someone in an instant when you first learn a move. You are thinking nonsense. You have practiced combat skills and others have golden combat skills. If you want to kill others in an instant, you must at least practice to the level of mysteries."
During the break between battles, Zhang Heng also asked Lin Yao about his plans.
"Are you drawing your sword skills to go in the direction of seeing through, or are you going to cut iron?"
Seeing through and cutting through iron, these are the two mysteries of the sword-drawing technique, as well as the mysteries of many moves.
Seeing through is easy to understand. It involves observing the enemy, seeing through their moves at the moment they take action, either blocking or avoiding them, and then counterattacking the enemy while the enemy's offensive is getting old. The skill of drawing a sword is even better. Be aggressive. After seeing through the attack, you will not block. Instead, you will attack through the weakness you see. Attack the opponent first and hit the enemy with one blow.
To be able to see through the enemy's attack method as soon as they move is to see through.
This was also an era without aura, and the main attack method of the Japanese masters of Batojutsu. Therefore, you can see that masters who are good at using Iai rarely attack on their own initiative, but will circle around to find flaws.
The secret of cutting iron is more intuitive, it is to cut steel. For sword drawing, it means no matter what the enemy's moves are, I only strengthen myself so that I can cut everything with one sword.
If Lin Yao had the Secret of Cutting Iron, Zhang Heng could still block the sword light he drew, but blocking was not the end. The sharp sword light would cut off his fisted arm and his body along with it.
"Seeing through and cutting through iron? It's not that I want to go in that direction, but that I can understand it."
"Well… "
These words were very heartbreaking. They were not geniuses and could not make the choice easily. Zhang Heng raised his head in emotion, drank the water Lin Yao bought in one gulp, patted the soil on his body, and said directly:
"Forget it, don't think about this anymore, keep practicing."
…
It wasn't until Zhang Heng went to class that Lin Yao returned to the school training ground and conducted lonely training.
However, just when Lin Yao thought that his training today was going to be like this, something unexpected happened to him. Yan Yan, known as the Ice and Snow Princess in the school, came over.
"I saw you training with your companions today, do you need my help?"
"Um!"
Lin Yao was shocked by Yan Yan's arrival. He did not expect that this ice and snow princess would pay attention to him outside the orphanage.
When Yan Yan came over, Lin Yao felt it was troublesome for the first time. When he saw Lin Yao frowning, Yan Yan's face across from him became a little colder.
"I see… "
"Thank you for your help. I won't delay your training."
For Lin Yao, he believed that beauty was a disaster, so he would not look for a beautiful girl, let alone this person who has always been cold.
But this does not mean that he is afraid of trouble. He is talented and has a sharp blade in his hand. Lin Yao also has a heroic spirit.
"A warrior is a fighting profession. If you don't even dare to talk to a pretty girl, you're not practicing martial arts with this mentality."
Lin Yao made a decision in his heart, but he didn't want to delay Yan Yan's cultivation.
She was very relaxed about this.
"Exercising is not sustainable at all. You have to rest after two or three hours, but you, on the other hand, practice much longer than me."
"Because of talent and good luck."
While speaking, Yan Yan had already distanced himself from Lin Yao and made an attacking posture. Looking at Lin Yao's somewhat grateful expression, Yan Yan finally said: "You don't have to be grateful, I also need to find someone. target."
"Well… "
High-level warriors already have at least sixty Qi seeds. With so many Qi seeds, they don't need to explode at the most critical moment of the battle. They can make the explosion of Qi seeds a normal occurrence.
And Yan Yan, who has the ice talent, did something even more exaggerated. With her talent, she waved her hand and water flowed from the lakeside, surrounding her, and turned into pieces of ice under her talent. fragments.
Facing Lin Yao, who was waiting in the distance, she moved her palm again, and the ice fragments shot over like arrows.
"The speed at which a warrior unleashes his true energy cannot be compared to that of his younger brothers and sisters."
"Qiang"
The ice fragments reached the side, and a sword light also rose from Lin Yao's hand. In the flash of sword light, the first fragment was directly chopped into pieces by Lin Yao.
But while breaking the ice fragments, a cold feeling was also transmitted from the contact point to Lin Yao's body and mind.
"Hiss, it's so cold."
The cold chill made Lin Yao's fingers stiff and his movements deformed.
Therefore, Lin Yao did not block the next ice fragment that shot quickly, and the fragment exploded directly in Lin Yao's chest, making his body tremble again.
"So strong."
"You are too weak, continue."
Later, Lin Yao was ravaged by Yan Yan, and she fired ice fragments one after another. While Lin Yao struggled to break them, he also had to resist the erosion of the cold.
Fortunately, it was daytime, the sunlight was quite strong, and the sunlight was warm and had the effect of driving away the cold. This allowed Lin Yao to slowly adapt to the cold and be able to train for a long time.
This scene actually surprised Yan Yan. She knew how cold her ice was, and she originally wanted to lower her ice talent.
"That's just right. If I'm too weak, I won't be able to train myself."
Seeing that Lin Yao could withstand the direct attacks, she also made a change. With a dance of her arms, the ice fragments surrounding her changed into the shapes of swallows.
With another wave of his hand, the swallow-shaped ice pierced the air and flew towards Lin Yao. The shape of the flying birds made them faster, but after all, the flight had a certain distance, giving Lin Yao time to react.
But just when Lin Yao saw the right moment and was about to chop the ice bird into pieces, the bird suddenly turned around and actually moved under Lin Yao's sword, dodging Lin Yao's attack like a real swallow.
"This is a controllable long-range attack."
"Use all your strength to smash the ice bird I control."
Later, Lin Yao's training was no longer about chopping things straight, but about ice birds flying freely. Yan Yan's training also began. She was exercising her ability to control ice birds.
What surprised Lin Yao was that the ice bird she could control was not just one, but three ice birds were flying up and down around Lin Yao.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang"
The sounds of drawing swords echoed in the playground again and again. Watching the birds in the sky, Lin Yao pulled out the long sword from time to time. The drawn long sword either achieved something or failed, but at this point In the battle, Lin Yao became more and more proficient in the sword-drawing technique.
"When Sasaki Kojiro chopped down the flying swallow, this is pretty much what I practiced. I hope this can help me understand and see through it."
