Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 695 677. Tai Sword Techniques

 “He came to me and said you learned too quickly.”

The swordsman master wears a helmet, making it impossible to see his face clearly, but given the state of the hunters in this world, even if they don't show their faces and just rely on their tone of voice, their emotions are rich enough.

"Well, forgive me, but I always feel that your learning speed scares him a bit. Do you understand? Although the teacher will feel happy in the process of teaching others. But if the person being taught learns at a faster speed, It’s like I’m going to empty out my body, which is a bit embarrassing.”

“When he came to see me in the morning, the expression on that boy’s face made me want to dig my toes on the floor.”

 The sword master crossed his arms, and the armor on his body made a crisp sound under his movements.

"And you are scheduled to learn Tai Sword today, so he called me."

 “Let’s sort out the situation now. Where are you now?”

  The swordsman master circled Lan En, as if judging his learning results through subtle movements.

“Bows and light and heavy ballistae?”

 He was the first to propose three types of long-range weapons.

“The latter two are very simple. Basically, the difficulties are only familiarity with the mechanical structure and the independent production of ammunition. Therefore, I didn’t spend too much time on them.”

“The bow and arrow technology is very interesting in that it continuously activates the body with [fighting energy] to temporarily improve physical fitness as the combo continues.”

 Lan En discussed the hunting skills of the hunters with the sword master in a mutual discussion attitude.

Each sentence is not much, but it is the core technology of that kind of weapon.

 Basically, after just a few words, the swordsman master will understand.

This guy is not talking big words, nor is he just memorizing by rote, but he has really touched on the core knowledge of every hunting weapon he has learned so far.

This kind of learning speed, as well as the insight to directly reach the core knowledge of the system from complex technologies

 The swordsman master smacked his lips with unknown meaning under his helmet.

 Is there really such a person? !

 He originally thought that the young man who was proficient in all weapons in the ace recommendation group of the fifth group was already exaggerated enough.

 I didn’t expect that there are actually masters!

 “Ahem, I learn really quickly, and my insight is very strong.”

The swordsman held his helmet and coughed twice, causing Lan En to tilt his head in confusion.

"But we can't be complacent, Lan En. In hunting, even technology is secondary. The most important thing is concentration during the task, decision-making in unexpected situations, and creativity in using the environment. .”

"The physical fitness of the young people who can come to the New World is not much different. You have also learned hunting skills, which are not complicated. But the gap between Wende and other fifth-phase groups is clearly there."

“The reason for this huge difference is their performance in a hunt. With the same weapon, the same opponent, and the same venue, good players are better than mediocre players.”

"Okay, without further ado, pull out your sword."

　　The sword master's deep voice sounded even more murky under the influence of the helmet.

But Lan En waved his hands seriously: "First of all, I want to clarify that [Zhuoliu] is a big sword. It's just very similar to the tachi here. But you can't say it's not a big sword."

  ?

The swordsman master subconsciously scratched his head, but there was only a metallic friction sound between the gauntlet and the helmet.

"Okay, just say yes, you can just pull it out first!"

At this moment, Lan En took out the dark [Turbid Current] from the alchemy leather bag.

The swordsman also took off his sword from behind.

 He glanced at the [turbid current] in Lan En's hand.

 Oh, I really shouldn’t say this is a tachi. It is a little shorter than the tachi I have.

"Let me tell you directly the core knowledge of Tai Sword, that is [Air Blade]!" "[Air Blade] is the product of hunters' fighting spirit, which is closely attached to the blade. There are three levels in total. We upgrade Tai Sword to Qi. The process of sharpening is called sharpening.”

"Each time the sword is sharpened in battle, the basic attack power of the sword will be increased. But there is no need to think about how long to keep the air blade, because the air blade will slowly and automatically disintegrate. Therefore, the sword users all sharpen the sword in battle. "

The sword master said as he began to demonstrate.

At the beginning, he just pointed at the large wooden piles in the training area, swung the knife in an ordinary way, and cut out some shallow but not deep marks.

 But after a few cuts, he seemed to suddenly change his style.

The two-meter-long sword gave off a familiar layer of light red light when it was swung, which was the sign that the hunters activated their "Fighting Qi".

The swung blade also seemed much sharper, with a crisp sound when it cut through the air.

 Finally, after the four sword moves with [Fighting Spirit], the swordsman master swept across a very wide arc and drew the blade shallowly across the wooden stake.

 But even though the blade did not go deep, it left a clean and deep mark.

 And the sword in his hand also lit up with a steady layer of white light after sweeping and turning.

It is very different from the light red light that resembles explosive flames when hunters use [Fighting Spirit] moves.

“This is the [white blade], the first level air blade. According to this process, the next blade will be the [yellow blade], and the next one will be the highest level [red blade].”

The sword master held the hilt of the sword and handed the blade to Lan En.

This is just a teaching demonstration, and there is no need to repeat the work.

Lan En's cat eyes were deep and focused. When the swordsman glanced at those eyes, he felt a little panicked.

  【Spiritual Vision】, has been turned on when the sword master starts the demonstration.

This kind of higher 'vision' compared to the physical world observed by humans is also the reason why Lan En can directly reach the essence of things many times.

 He took off his leather gloves with steel armor and flicked the tachi attached with the "white blade" with his fingers. It really feels different, as if fighting spirit directly improves the sharpness and sturdiness of the weapon.

“Does this process of sharpening have to be done all over again? Four consecutive slashes plus one giant spin?”

The witcher asked with a frown.

"Isn't it too cumbersome? During the hunt, those monsters won't give the hunter a chance to do a set of 'broadcast gymnastics', right? What's more, ideally, this blade would have to be fired three times in a short period of time."

"You are indeed very sharp." The swordsman retracted his sword, "Come on, attack me, just one strike will be enough."

Lan En was not pretentious at all, he held the [turbid current] and stabbed it towards the swordsman master with the not-sharp tip of the sword.

And just when he started to attack, the swordsman who had taken a stance in advance "floated" sideways in front of the incoming sword tip like pieces of paper or feathers driven by the wind!

Lann's eyes widened almost at the same time he made the move.

After "floating" sideways, the swordsman master changed the angle expertly, took a step diagonally, and got close to the connecting stake.

The sword he had raised long ago accurately scraped the wooden stake in the process. Almost instantly, the flames of fighting spirit on his body surged!

Then there was no pre-movement, and he directly used the sweeping loop move with a wide range.

 The white fluorescence on the knife also turned yellow.

 He put away his posture and was about to turn around and explain this action to Lan En.

 But not before he could speak.

 “Pressure?” Lan En tilted his head and said thoughtfully.

 The sword master, who was halfway turned, suddenly froze.

“The technical core of Tachi is not so much the [air blade], but rather external pressure?”
