"Aunt Mei, do you want to know how I got hurt today?"

Meng Yu greeted Li Hai, then looked at Aunt Mei, hesitant to speak.

Seeing Meng Yu's appearance, Aunt Mei couldn't help smiling slightly,

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it, young master, don't play tricks with slaves."

"Haha, it's like this. My opponent in today's competition is an intermediate magician of the earth system, but because I'm only a junior magician, of course I want to win by fighting spirit. But I found that in the ring competition, swordsmen of the same level Like a magician, I don't have an advantage. I didn't realize until just now that it was because I didn't practice martial arts. So... "

"So can Aunt Mei teach me some powerful martial arts?"

Meng Yu looked at Aunt Mei expectantly.

Aunt Mei smiled confidently when she heard the words, and then walked to the stone table and sat down. Only then did she wave to Meng Yu and Li Hai.

"Come here, both of you."

"Master, in fact, I didn't teach you martial arts before. It was to prevent the young master from being too ambitious and not paying attention to the basics. Later, because of illness, I didn't mention it all the time. I didn't expect the young master to be an intermediate swordsman. After so many After a few days of basic practice, the young master must have a good foundation, so of course the young master can learn martial arts now."

Aunt Mei looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.

"In fact, there is no difference between a magician and a swordsman. Although in the early stage, a magician has some advantages over a swordsman, but this advantage is pitifully small."

"Actually, the young master is right. The reason why the young master feels so difficult when dealing with magicians of the same level is indeed because he has not learned martial arts."

"But more importantly, footwork. The key to fighting between a swordsman and a magician lies in footwork. A magician who cannot cast magic is not much better than an ordinary person. As long as a magician is approached by a swordsman, that's not enough. Is the piece of meat on the cutting board allowed to be slaughtered?"

"The key for a swordsman to approach a magician lies in footwork. You must approach the magician before he casts a magic that can win with one blow, and then defeat him."

Neither Li Hai nor Mengyu spoke, but listened quietly from the sidelines.

Although Meng Yu didn't know what Aunt Mei's strength was before, since Aunt Mei was able to take him all the way from the Tianling Empire to Panxi Town in the Molin Empire, I'm afraid Aunt Mei's strength would be astonishing.

Even if Aunt Mei is seriously injured now, Aunt Mei's experience is still there. Although experience is not completely reliable, experience can save people in many cases, so he naturally listened very seriously.

Not to mention Li Hai, he was originally Aunt Mei's apprentice, so he didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Aunt Mei.

"The footwork I practice is called chi-step, which was also the second-ranked footwork of the Ling family back then. However, when the incident happened suddenly, I only had time to bring out the Ling family's combat qi cultivation technique, otherwise, you will be able to see Ling. The power of the first step at home."

"However, the footwork is already very good, and it is not much worse than those top-level footwork when it is cultivated to a high level."

"Chibu, as the name suggests, the footwork is as straight as a ruler, between two points, the straight line is the shortest, so the biggest advantage of Chibu is fast speed, and Chibu is not an instant burst of footwork, it can also be used for rushing , is a very practical footwork."

"However, Chibu also has disadvantages. In actual combat, once the enemy discovers the characteristics of Chibu, your attack will be easily seen through, and the opponent will be easy to defend."

"Actually, this is also the reason why Chibu failed to become the first step of the Ling family. Its advantages are as prominent as its disadvantages, but as long as you increase your speed to a certain level, even if the opponent knows your intentions, he will not be able to defend against it." .”

"How fast does that take?"

Li Hai asked with some doubts.

Aunt Mei smiled mysteriously, and then said, "Fast enough!"

"Now, do you still want to learn?"

"Learn, why don't you learn such a powerful footwork?"

Meng Yu and Li Hai nodded quickly, as if if they were a little slower, Aunt Mei would regret it.

Seeing this, Aunt Mei also smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Let me demonstrate it to you, and let you see the real footsteps."

"Master, there's no need, you just talk about the method of cultivation, and we can practice by ourselves."

Li Hai hastily stopped him. The last time Aunt Mei demonstrated to him, the injury recurred. The serious injury has not healed yet. At this moment, Li Hai is still blaming himself. How could he let Aunt Mei demonstrate to them again.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention not to use fighting energy this time, and nothing will happen."

Aunt Mei smiled slightly, and she could understand Li Hai's thoughts.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Hai to continue to stop him, he strode up behind the two of them, but the two of them didn't react. If the two of them faced Aunt Mei, they probably wouldn't be a one-shot enemy, Meng Yu was sure. Aunt Mei didn't use grudge just now.

It seems that this is a step. Thinking of this, Meng Yu is also a little excited. He is so powerful without using fighting energy. If he uses fighting energy, how powerful will it be

Aunt Mei didn't stop after passing the two of them, but continued to walk in the small courtyard. Aunt Mei, who didn't use her fighting spirit, left an afterimage on the spot. One can imagine how fast she was.

It was only then that Meng Yu discovered that Aunt Mei's forward footwork was very distinctive, straight, as if measured with a ruler, and when she encountered a wall, Aunt Mei would bend in the same direction and draw a straight line again.

It’s just that Meng Yu felt extremely weird. At this time, Aunt Mei seemed to be dancing a mechanical dance, and her movements seemed a little stiff. No wonder Aunt Mei said that this footwork has obvious shortcomings, but the speed of this footwork is really fast. Incomparable.

After walking a few steps, Aunt Mei was also a little tired. After all, Aunt Mei who couldn't use fighting energy couldn't bear such a high-intensity exercise.

Then Aunt Mei found a pen and paper from the room, and under the moonlight, after gesturing on the stone table in the small courtyard for a long time, she handed a piece of paper to the two of them.

"This is the running route of battle qi. You can start practicing tomorrow. With me guiding you, it won't take long before you can experience the feeling of that speed."

Meng Yu took the white paper full of lines and dots, and carefully put it in his arms.

"Aunt Mei, I want to ask you a question. Since the swordsman knows footwork, and with the improvement of the swordsman's cultivation base, with the blessing of fighting spirit, the speed of the swordsman can reach an astonishing level, while the magician The attack distance of a magician is also limited, and a swordsman can cross this distance in an instant, so if he cultivates to a high level, is it true that a magician is no match for a swordsman at all?"

Aunt Mei smiled, "It's not as simple as you think. In fact, the methods of cultivation lead to the same goal. Whether it's magic or battle qi, their ultimate goal is the same."

"At the end of the practice of battle qi and magic, there is not even such a big difference. Magisters can use magic power to perform martial arts, and swordsmen can use battle qi to perform magic."

"When a magician has cultivated to the level of a great magician, he will be able to instantly cast magic equivalent to the power of a junior magician. At that time, the horror of a magician will begin to appear."

"Instant magic? Aunt Mei means to cast magic directly without reciting magic spells?"

Meng Yu asked in surprise.

The surprise was not because what Aunt Mei said was too unbelievable, but because he had been thinking about this issue all the time, and he had also searched for related books in the library, but because he was only a junior magician, and he did not have enough authority to access these things. information.

"Yes, that's what instant cast means."

"I understand. It turns out that magic can really be cast without chanting spells. Then the magic spells mentioned earlier are words of prayer to God. The statement that powerful magic power can only be obtained by praying to God is just a lie. It's just a human trick."

Aunt Mei's confirmation, like a slap in the face, made Meng Yu's thoughts clear in an instant.

Although he knew before that the magic spell was a trick to deceive people, but he never understood the principle of magic, so he never dared to say it. After all, the world he is in now cannot be explained by science. So magic may really be the power obtained by praying to God.

Li Hai couldn't help but blush when he heard Meng Yu's words, because he was the one who told Meng Yu the answer at that time, but fortunately it was dark at this time, and several people couldn't see Li Hai's face, otherwise it would be really embarrassing up.

"If you can cast magic instantly, even if it's only magic at the junior magician level, then wouldn't you be able to instantly assemble a golden wheel?"

Thinking of this, Meng Yu couldn't help becoming a little excited. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must research the principle of instant magic.
