Doomsday Circle

Qiao Xing raised the cross sword with one hand, straight and stabbing.

“The strength of the sword is in chopping, the stabbing can only be said to be average, but the back strike and backhand have been completely abandoned.

In many battles, giving up the back attack means that the backhand is half as slow.

The strength of the spear is thrusting, but it has no chopping power and is not flexible enough.

The strength of the hammer is its flexibility and ability to pierce armor, but it is difficult for blunt weapons to deliver flying slashes. With the blessing of energy, the advantage of piercing armor is gone.

Don't rush to refute now, wait until I finish.

These weapons all have their own very obvious shortcomings, but swords are different. Swords have almost no obvious advantages, but they also have no obvious disadvantages, provided you are strong enough.

Energized, the sword's cutting power can be compared to that of a sword, its stabbing power can be compared to that of a spear, and it can break armor as well as a hammer. It will be difficult to break before your energy is exhausted.

When you are strong enough, the advantages of holding a two-handed sword will slowly become apparent. "

Lu Luo had already heard something.

Qiao Xing continuously emphasized that the sword must be strong enough, so the sword will be strong enough. What is the relationship between this?

"How strong is enough to be considered strong enough?"

“You are smart, you react quickly, and the criteria for being strong enough are very simple.

Even if you can wield the heavy two-handed sword with one hand, there will no longer be the slightest sense of stagnation.

You can vent your energy to your heart's content without any hesitation.

No matter when and where you turn back your energy-filled weapon, there won't be even a millisecond of pause. In this way, it is considered powerful enough. "

Lu Luo weighed the cross sword and found that it was indeed heavy. It was only the church's training standard sword.

Some knights' swords are heavier and larger than this sword.

If you want to wield such a weapon with one hand, the strength must be at least 20, and may even need to reach 25.

[According to observer calculations, it takes at least 15 points of strength to wield such a sword with one hand, and at least 22 points of strength to wield such a sword flexibly. 】

But if such a heavy weapon is used, won't the speed slow down? etc……

No, there must be something wrong. Lu Luo continued to think about what Qiao Xing said just now. Swinging the sword to his heart's content was only Qiao Xing's first request.

Then the second requirement is to vent the energy to your heart's content, and the third requirement is to be able to turn back instantly when wielding the sword with energy.

These three requirements should correspond to the three stages, or realms, of the Holy Cross Swordsmanship.

"Think calmly and be objective."

Lu Luo scratched his head, trying his best to put down his identity as a swordsman and put himself into this third realm.

What would happen if you could swing a sword to your heart's content, release your energy to your heart's content, and turn back in an instant when you release the energy?

Lu Luo imagined a similar scene, if it could really meet this standard.

Then will wielding the Cross Sword with one hand be as simple as wielding the Wraith Blade now?

This means that the physical fitness at that time has reached a level where there is no need to care about the weight of weapons.

Venting energy to the fullest means that every sword can strike in the air. If every sword strikes in the air, what is the advantage of a sword over a sword?

"Come to a palace of thought!"

With the help of the observer, Lu Luo entered a place similar to the imagination space. He imagined the contrast between his own sword-wielding posture and his own sword-wielding posture.

Swing the knife - put the knife away - swing the knife again - repeat, or reverse swing the knife - turn back the handle - repeat.

This is the normal posture for wielding a sword, because the sword is single-edged. As Qiao Xing said, the sword gives up the back attack, but what about the sword?

When the strength and agility meet the requirements mentioned by Qiao Xing, then the swing of the sword...

Lu Luo even thought of such cool tricks as turning up and down, and turning left and right, because the sword was full-edged, without any dead ends, and there was no need to retract it during the chopping process.

This means that in the extreme state, the sword's slashing speed can be at least twice as fast as the sword's, not to mention the sword's thrust.

This is nothing, because the power of such a sword attack is definitely not as good as that of a sword attack.

But what if energy is added? For example, Holy Glory, Qihe, or even the roughest dark energy can be attached directly.

When you can vent your energy to your heart's content, doubling the attack speed means twice as many energy slashes and cathartic explosions.

Such a gap in the frequency of slashing and special effects is the difference between heaven and earth!

"It feels like a humanoid energy laser cannon? Is that what you mean?"

The more Lu Luo thought about it, the more excited he became. As for the third state, he instantly turned back...

"You haven't thought about it yet? You don't want to think about it here all night, do you? I have to go back to sleep!"

Gan!

Why are you so outrageous? I'm thinking about the subtleties of martial arts, why can you interrupt me like this? Why?

The thoughts that Lu Luo had just sorted out were directly disrupted by Qiao Xing. Such an approach was really excessive!

But Qiao Xing told him all these things, so Lu Luo couldn't say anything to Qiao Xing.

"Well, I figured out some useful things, so I thought about it for a little longer. Sorry, Lord Qiao Xing."

"Oh? Have you figured it out yet? Your response is quite fast."

Due to the limitation of thinking, it is usually difficult for people who have practiced a weapon for a long time to modify the weapon.

Qiao Xing originally thought that it would take a lot of effort for Lu Luo to give up using the knife, but now it seems that he is smarter than most people and his understanding is faster.

Lu Luo looked at Qiao Xing, and after hesitating for a moment, he made a small request of his.

"Lord Qiao Xing, if you can wield the sword as much as you want and release the energy as much as you want.

That means that the weight of the weapon is no longer the factor limiting the attack. The speed of energy pouring is the biggest factor affecting the destructive power.

So, can you show it to me? "

Qiao Xing's pupils shrank, then returned to normal in a flash. He originally thought that Lu Luo just thought about giving up the sword.

But I didn't expect that Lu Luo would think so far and deeply, and already understand the meaning of the dual state, this guy!

"Can."

Qiao Xing raised the cross sword in his hand toward the sky at a 45-degree angle, and then a powerful holy light visible to the naked eye gathered on the sword.

Immediately afterwards, there was a scene that completely shocked Lu Luo.

Qiao Xing waved the cross sword, looking listless, as casually as waving a fly swatter up and down.

But the holy light on the sword continued to send out flying strikes, and every time it turned back, it was a folded holy light strike.

These holy slashes were connected together, like a golden lightning snake, flying into the sky.

Boom boom boom!

Dull thunder sounded in the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed again.

The long-lost moonlight shone on Lu Luo's face.

Then……

A huge, indescribably huge whale appeared in the moonlight and also appeared in their field of vision.

It is just a tail fin, but its hugeness can already be described as covering the sky and the sun.

"Leviathan! I heard seeing it brings good luck."

Lu Luo swallowed unnaturally. Because of the distance, he had no way to measure the length of such a huge creature.

Nothing but shock.

"Lord Qiao Xing, has this guy always been flying in the sky? How long has it been?"

[According to the data, humans first discovered Leviathan before the establishment of the Wasteland Alliance. The specific time was 493 years ago. 】

"Does this have anything to do with your practice of swordsmanship? You have a very lenient control. How about you buy it a suite in the fourth ring?"

"Forehead!"

"Do you understand why you need to use a sword?"

"Understood."

"Is my sword powerful?"

"sharp."

"Fast?"

"quick."

Lu Luo originally thought that Qiao Xing's yin and yang problems would improve after he began to teach him, but now it seems that it has not.

"I have already told you the concepts of the three basic realms of swordsmanship. The rest of the time depends on your own understanding and practice.

Regardless of any martial arts skill, muscle memory must be formed through repeated practice.

In some cases, muscle memory alone means faster. "

"I understand, now, how should I practice specifically?"

"In terms of getting started, you need to practice these six sword postures 10,000 times, including flat stabbing, straight thrusting, horizontal slashing, vertical slashing, diagonal slashing, and flat cutting."

Let’s not talk about how much energy is required to attach the energy. Let’s just say that 10,000 moves are equivalent to one sword per second.

Without resting at all, one sword-drawing position will take 3 hours, and 6 movements will take 18 hours.

And what is Qiao Xing's request? It's a power! Even if Lu Luo's Qihe is very powerful, high in quality and large in quantity, but it has been enchanted a total of 60,000 times, doesn't this mean he will die?

"Lord Qiao Xing, have you been practicing like this? Are there no specific names for swordsmanship moves, such as autumn leaves falling in the autumn wind, white cranes spreading their wings, etc.?"

Qiao Xing didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Luo with dead eyes until Lu Luo lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"Okay, got it."

"No, you don't understand yet.

The first step into swordsmanship is to understand that form precedes brute force.

Even if you only master the most basic sword style, it is much better than just using brute force to destroy.

All sword styles can be evolved from these six basic sword styles.

Therefore, these six postures are the basis of all swordsmanship. "

After Qiao Xing finished speaking, he put the cross sword back on the sword stand as if he was about to leave.

Lu Luo looked at Qiao Xing with some confusion.

"Lord Qiao Xing, what do you want to do?"

"I'm going home to sleep with my wife and children. You don't think I want to practice sword practice with you here, do you? Are you thinking too much?"

Lu Luo: "...Okay, what if I finish practicing all these?"

Qiao Xing originally had great disdain for people like Lu Luo who thought about running before they even learned to walk.

But he saw that Lu Luo could understand the second level of understanding thinking just by relying on imagination before, and he felt that there should be no problem in attacking Lu Luo here.

"Form before brute force is only the first step. The second part of Holy Cross Sword Art is that situation precedes brute force.

The momentum here is the momentum of your sword. Momentum, to put it more simply and straightforwardly, means that your swordsmanship should form your own unique personal style.

No longer stick to ordinary sword styles and moves..."

As a strong man from the church who has taught swordsmanship for many years, Qiao Xing's teaching level is unquestionable.

After a simple explanation, Lu Luo was able to understand some of its meaning.

"What about the specific requirements?"

"Energy, those six moves, 100,000 times."

Fuck, can you have something else?

"So much? What about my usual swordsmanship lessons?"

"You don't need to listen to the swordsmanship lessons, they are all deceiving people, and it is a waste of time for you to listen.

I will teach you alone every night from now on, so practice your sword well. "

When Qiao Xing finished speaking, his figure had already drifted away, leaving Lu Luo here alone.

"Leaving now? Does he mean to let me practice swordplay here by myself?"

[Good guy, it adds up to 660,000 times. I’m afraid it will take 2-3 months to practice without eating or drinking. 】

Lu Luo also had a bitter look on his face, but wasn't that the purpose of coming here? Now he has got what he wanted, so why bother beeping? Let's practice!

The desire to grow in individual strength is greater than all other desires. Now is an excellent opportunity to become stronger, which cannot be missed.

Lu Luo picked up one of the cross swords. Although he could pick up a sword of such weight with one hand, he still wanted to wield it flexibly.

His current strength is still lacking, so he needs the help of a mechanical arm.

"Supercharge!"

The mechanical arm was supercharged, bringing Lu Luo's arm strength to 24. This strength value was enough for Lu Luo to hold a sword flexibly with one hand.

"First, the flat stab."

Lu Luo held the sword with one hand and followed what was said in the swordsmanship course during the day, keeping the sword steady without shaking his hands, and then merged into Qihe.

"The first sword, steam, flat thrust."

After triple steam boosting, Lu Luo thrust out his sword.

Sa!

The super supercharged force of the steam qi combination caused Lu Luo to stab out a sword energy first. This sword energy shook away the water vapor on the grass and formed a mist around it.

"Observer, record the number of sword draws for me."

【receive. 】

Counting is a very distracting thing. Lu Luo needs to devote himself wholeheartedly to sword practice, so it is better to let the observers do the counting.

"The second sword, steam, thrust straight."

Sa!

Qiao Xing stood on the roof from a distance and looked at Lu Luo. Compared with the cold and calm look before, Qiao Xing's eyes looked a little confused at this time.

He watched Lu Luo swing his sword hard and began to mutter to himself.

"Dawn Disk, it turns out there is more than one!

Only those who are closest to the Holy Light can see the dawn and touch the real dawn.

After discovering the circle in advance, UU read www. uukanshu． NET just sent the saint to Lu Luo, and also to me, Han Shiyu, this woman, is really petty..."

In the relevant books of the church, the records of those who worship the light are all those who have served the dawn all their lives.

Although light seekers can get married, there are currently only a few light seekers in the entire alliance who actually get married and have children, and Qiao Xing happens to be one of them.

Han Shiyu sent Lu Luo, who was carrying a disk on his back, to Qiao Xing. If Qiao Xing did not teach Lu Luo, it meant that Qiao Xing, who was married and had children, was getting farther and farther away from the Holy Light.

If Qiao Xing is willing to teach Lu Luo, that is what a light seeker should really do.

After casually watching Lu Luo's sword practice, Qiao Xing smacked his lips.

"I feel like this guy, how should I put it, is okay!"

After looking at it for a few times, Qiao Xing lost interest. What's so good about practicing swordsmanship? What's wrong with having his wife and children warm up on the kang when he gets home?

This time Qiao Xing really left, while Lu Luo stayed here, practicing his sword crazily.
