Chapter 18 Martial Arts Training
"You're kidding me……"
Alan was about to retort.
But when he looked at Lindsay in front of him, he realized that this was still a child. It would probably take two years to call him a teenager.
The rebuke on his lips changed like this:
"Um, your name is Lindsay, right."
"When people start learning combat skills, it is easy for a while to think that they have learned it well. But in fact, the practice of combat skills requires time and effort, and the details need to be carefully adjusted."
After hearing Alan's answer, Lindsay also understood.
Learning language with Hongyue in the early morning, he became familiar with the learning process of using the [Experience Bar], and now he subconsciously brought the habit here.
For ordinary people, or most awakened people.
This way of learning is hard to imagine.
-He made a mistake.
Lindsay hurriedly added:
"Mr. Alan, I don't think I am a genius who can learn everything at once. I just want to ask if there is anything else to learn today."
After hearing Lindsay's explanation, Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is easier to teach a child who can admit his mistakes than a stubborn donkey who keeps his mouth shut.
Alan showed a satisfied smile:
"This way - you practice what you have memorized first, and I will show you the current problem."
"..."
Lindsay began to struggle.
Because of the careful teachings of An Rui, who is an upgrader, and the practice just now.
He has successfully entered [Basic Sword Skills] and [Basic Movement Skills] into the attribute panel, and has also upgraded the former to the [Beginner] level.
Facing the red moon, Lindsay can show her specialness without reservation.
But if it were anyone else, it would be better to be careful about this kind of thing.
With a decision in her mind, Lindsay got ready and began to demonstrate what she had just learned.
He tried to get his posture right.
But the connection of movements between each posture shows the state of a true beginner.
"..."
A few minutes later, it was Alan's turn to be silent.
He felt like he was under a lot of pressure.
Although the young man in front of him has flaws in his posture skills, he is definitely much better than an ordinary beginner! But in the connection of movements, Lindsay seemed extremely clumsy.
If this happens to anyone else.
Alan would most likely guess that the other party was being clever and hiding his clumsiness from himself.
But Lindsay…
When the child was practicing just now, Alan witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. Every move he made was that of a pure novice, without the slightest hint of false acting.
But, why did it become like this in just this moment of turning around?
"I...you...um..."
Alan was completely confused.
He raised his hand, then put it down again without making any movement.
He opened his mouth, but before he could form a complete sentence, he closed it again.
After pondering for a long time, Alan finally figured it out.
Why does he care what condition Lindsay is in?
All you have to do is point out the other party's actual problems and fulfill your responsibility as a guide.
Let your lord figure out those inexplicable things!
Alan had a clear idea, picked up the short knife himself, and immediately performed an action that Lindsay had done.
"In this movement, your body's center of gravity should be further forward. This way, the power of the attack will be driven by your body, making it more difficult for the enemy to resist."
"And this, this is a blocking posture. Human joints are very fragile, so you must be careful with your wrists..."
Alan began to guide seriously.
Lindsay followed the study, and the [experience bar] increased faster than his own practice.
Wait until noon.
Although the temperature was very low in winter, he was still so tired that he was sweating.
The result of studying so hard is that the experience bar of [Basic Sword Skills] has increased to one-tenth. Even if there is no guidance later, Lindsay is sure to improve again within a week if she practices alone.
"Okay, let's rest first."
Alan on the side looked as usual.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he stopped the training and took Lindsay back to the manor.
In the manor, the maid has prepared meals.
The lunch at the lord's house is not rich, but due to martial arts training, there is more meat than ordinary people's house.
Lindsay followed Alan to get bread and a bowl of thick vegetable broth.
They didn't stay in the main building of the manor. They went directly back to the open space in the forest outside and ate next to the fallen beech tree.
"Brother Alan, you are also following the path of the war school, right?"
At lunch, Lindsay struck up a conversation with Alan.
After the two got acquainted, he changed from Mr. Alan to Big Brother Alan, An Rui's apprentice.
Alan, who was soaking bread in the broth, nodded:
"Well, I completed my first skill sublimation seven years ago and was officially accepted as an apprentice by Master Anrui."
Lindsay asked cautiously:
"I'm a little curious, what does it feel like to improve your skills?"
"By the way, can I ask about this?"
Alan looked at Lindsay, feeling an indescribable feeling of nostalgia in his heart.
Ten years ago, when he first became an awakener, he was as curious about the world as Lindsay.
"There's nothing you can't ask."
"I don't know about other ways, but after joining the War School, I have been following the teacher to learn the essential skills of combat. Until the basic skills are honed, the essence begins to be combined with combat skills, and the characteristics of [Advantage Strike] are naturally sublimated. .”
While explaining, Alan raised his palm.
He aimed at the beech wood that he and Lindsay used as a dining table, and slashed the trunk with his bare hands.
Snapped--
This palm didn't seem to be seriously exerted, and it was light.
However, contrary to common sense, the bark of the tree was cut open directly, leaving a mark on the inner tree core.
Lindsay touched it carefully.
The surface of the zelkova tree looks like it has been struck with a blunt axe.
In close contact, you can still feel the traces of the source material left on the tree trunk with your fingertips.
At this time, Alan sighed:
"It's a pity that my understanding is very poor. I have been awakened for 10 years and have only completed the second sublimation now. I don't know when I can take another step forward."
"If possible, I really want to visit Narcobondeck."
Alan's sigh was full of longing, and Lindsay couldn't help but ask:
"Narcobondek?"
Alan nodded vigorously:
"That's right, Narcobondek."
"That is the base camp of the War School, and the whole world is proud of the name of this city."
"By the way, Master Anrui is from there. I heard that no matter the defenders, warriors with a fighting nature, or raging thugs, all the big figures on the road to war can be found there!"
"If I could see there, maybe it would be different..."
Alan's mind gradually drifted away.
He is in his early twenties this year and is just one step away from the third sublimation of his skills.
Although not comparable to those rare geniuses.
However, if you can broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, you may not have a great future!
Seeing Alan's expression, Lindsay wisely stopped asking.
He began to concentrate on the lunch in front of him.
This is not just about satisfying the appetite, the cultivation of the essence of life lies in every little thing in daily life.
But at this moment, anxious footsteps approached from the manor.
A crying girl's voice sounded at the back door:
"Alan! What...what's going on?"
"Why did my beech tree fall down?"
