Chapter 25 Swordsmanship
As if to verify Ling Hao's judgment, the two people in the confrontation were obviously different. Li Qiang was still the same, and Situ Yinghao was very anxious. Finally, Situ Yinghao couldn't help taking action.
The epee in Situ Yinghao's hand cut at Li Qiang's head, and the fierce offensive brought a breeze and brushed Li Qiang's cheek. Seeing Situ Yinghao's attack, Ling Hao couldn't help shaking his head. Nia beside him asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is Yinghao's attack very bad? I think it's good."
Just as Ling Hao was about to answer, Bertram's voice came from behind: "This sword is really powerful, but there is no speed, no change, and no spare power. It's really easy to dodge this kind of attack.
After Bertram was instructed by Ling Hao, although his strength has not improved significantly, his use of skills has improved a lot compared with when he first came into contact with him.
Ling Hao sighed, "Yes, it seems that the hero has not integrated the martial arts skills I taught, and he can't use it flexibly in battle. It seems that it will take some time for him to fully understand what I have taught."
The intensity of the competition between the two gradually escalated. Situ Yinghao saw that several attacks were invalid, and immediately knew that such an attack was too easy to dodge for Li Qiang. The martial arts skills taught by Ling Hao flashed in his mind. The moves in his hand suddenly changed, and the original open moves became erratic. The heavy sword in his hand seemed to be as light as nothing, and frequently attacked from a tricky angle.
Situ Yinghao's move brought great pressure to Li Qiang, and the unpredicted attack brought great difficulty to Li Qiang's judgment, and the difficulty of avoidance was also greatly increased.
Bertram saw the effect of Situ Yinghao's move, and his eyes lit up. He asked Ling Hao, "Keep some strength so that you can change your move at any time. The strange attack angle is enough to make up for the lack of attack power. Is this the swordsmanship I learned from you? It's really a magical skill."
Hearing Bertram's praise, Ling Hao shook his head and said, "This set of swordsmanship is not suitable for epee. Heroes can't use swordsmanship, and his power is only half. The hero subconsciously chose the epee, which had to show that the martial arts skills he had originally learned in his heart had been deeply rooted in his memory. Although he has been unable to use martial arts due to physical fitness, his most proud weapon in his mind is the epee of the magic continent.
Speaking of this, Ling Hao couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Situ Yinghao put a lot of effort into it, and the failure of teaching made Ling Hao a little discouraged.
"I think it can be over."
The competition situation changed again. Situ Yinghao's set of swordsmanship was completed and used again. Li Qiang, who had basically figured out the routine, took advantage of the gap between the opponent's sword move conversion to attack. The situation suddenly turned around, and the attack and defense were exchanged. The wise man can already see that Situ Yinghao has been defeated, and now it's just a matter of time.
Ling Hao stood up and shouted, "That's all for today."
Hearing this, Li Qiang immediately accepted the move and jumped out of the battle circle, while Situ Yinghao stood still with a heavy sword and gasped.
When Situ Yinghao came closer, Ling Hao said to him, "Do you know where you lost?"
Situ Yinghao lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I don't know."
Taking a look at Situ Yinghao, Ling Hao said lightly, "Actually, since you began to choose the epee, you have lost. The swordsmanship I teach you is suitable for the light spirit routine, which is fundamentally incompatible with the epee. Since the epee you choose should follow the epee routine, use the martial arts skills you have learned in the magic continent to force Li Qiang to fight head-on with you, so that you can use the power of the epee to win. But you can't attack for a long time. You use the swordsmanship I taught with the epee. Although you have a little advantage at the beginning, it is incomnical to use the epee. It has neither power nor meets the requirements of the light spirit of the sword. It is a complete mess. This can only accelerate your failure.
"Li Qiang, what kind of weapon is the weapon in your hand?" Nia looked at the sword in Li Qiang's hand and asked.
In fact, when the two people were in the match, she already wanted to ask, but in order not to disturb the two people in the match, she kept holding back until it was over.
"Sword." Before Li Qiang could answer, Ling Hao next to him replied, "It's just that I also want to know where your sword came from?"
Li Qiang said curiously, " Boss, this kind of weapon is also called a sword? It's different from the sword I usually see. Brother, do you remember the dagger you gave me in the forest by our village? I asked the craftsman here to build this weapon according to the appearance of the dagger, but the blade was lengthened a little.
Ling Hao said, "This kind of sword is almost the same as the sword in my hometown. The various swordsmanships I teach can only be similar to this kind of sword to really exert its power."
Ling Hao's words made Situ Yinghao's head lower. Because, as early as when Ling Hao taught him swordsmanship, he had already told him that swordsmanship must have suitable weapons to exert its maximum power.
Looking at Situ Yinghao, Ling Hao said, "Now, do you understand the meaning of Li Qiang's words?"
When Situ Yinghao heard Ling Hao's question, he looked up and answered, "I see. Brother Qiang means that the martial arts skills we originally learned are simple, lack change, and are easy to be cracked. There are also moves that are too simple, which will make the attack direction and path easily recognized by the other party, so as to avoid or guard against it in advance.
It seems that this test has made Situ Yinghao gain a lot of experience, and Ling Hao is also a little gratified that Situ Yinghao can understand these from his failure.
Bertram has been silent since the end of the recent test. Ling Hao saw it and naturally knew why he was depressed. Because Bertram's original achievements are too high, it is too difficult for him to give up what he had learned before and learn new martial arts from scratch again.
Ling Hao couldn't help encouraging: "Don't be discouraged. Although there are many drawbacks in your martial arts system, I believe you can overcome these drawbacks and create unique martial arts by yourself."
"Yes, I must create a new martial arts system that suits me." Ling Hao's encouragement made Bertram full of confidence again and secretly made up his mind.
"It's been a long time to come out, and the motorcade is about to leave. Let's go back and get ready to go." Nia reminded everyone.
On the way back, Ling Hao patted Li Qiang on the shoulder and said, "You are doing well today. You have achieved the goal I asked. From today on, you don't have to run in the morning."
"No, I know that the boss used to force me to run for my own good. But I don't think I have met the boss's requirements, so I will keep running. Li Qiang rejected Ling Hao's proposal and said firmly.
"Don't think that I let you stop without running or let you be lazy. There are other new trainings waiting for you."
"I will complete the training assigned by you after running. I will definitely not be lazy."
Looking at Li Qiang's firm eyes, Ling Hao nodded.
The group returned to their residence, and the others had already got up and were waiting for them to come back.
After everyone finished breakfast, they thanked the person in charge of sending off again and set off for Wangcheng.
"I believe we will meet again. I hope you don't let me down at that time, my good niece. A man stood in front of the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said to himself.
Ling Hao and others didn't pay attention. There was a man standing in front of the window of a room on the second floor behind him, looking gloomyly as they disappeared from sight.
