Pirate Codex

After replenishing his nutrition and applying medicine, Edward, Ryan and Oswide stood quietly aside, looking into the field with different expectations.

Arthur held a wooden sword in his hand and stood tall, looking calmly at Ulysses opposite him who held his bamboo sword high.

"I want to go"

Once he entered the fighting state, Ulysses seemed to be a different person, his eyes staring fiercely at Arthur, like a violent lion, full of oppression.

"bring it on."

Arthur nodded, looking serious.

Just as Arthur finished speaking, Ulysses suddenly rose up and slashed towards Arthur with the bamboo knife in his hand with a harsh whistling sound that cut through the air.

Having watched the duel between Edward and Ryan, Arthur already had a rough idea of ​​Wu Xin Ryu's routine. As soon as Ulysses' bamboo sword was swung, Arthur's mind evolved its subsequent trajectory.

The bamboo sword struck, and Arthur was calm. He moved his body to the left to avoid the bamboo sword's chop. Then the wooden sword thrust out, from left to right, and the last point hit the bamboo sword somewhere on the blade. .

"when"

The swords met, and Ulysses' bamboo sword was led to tilt to the right. Arthur's wooden sword did not stop, and with a flick of his wrist, he turned slightly with the wooden sword and stabbed Ulysses' heart.

Ulysses' reflexes were also good. As soon as the bamboo sword was swung away, he jumped back decisively to avoid the thrust of the wooden sword. Then he turned his wrist, and the bamboo sword split the air from left to right. With a whistling sound, it slashed towards Arthur.

The wooden sword stabbed the air, but Arthur didn't force it. His body was like a willow blowing in the breeze. He swayed to the side flexibly to avoid Ulysses' right swing. Then he stabbed out with the wooden sword and struck down again. Put it on top of the bamboo knife in the middle and turn it downwards.

And he made a sliding step and came to the right back of Ulysses. He held out the wooden sword and wiped it against his thick neck.

Ulysses was staggered by his own strength and his feet were unsteady. However, the years of life-and-death struggle still gave him an extremely quick reaction. He leaned to the left and avoided the wood that stabbed his neck. sword,

Then he turned his wrist, raised the bamboo knife, and slashed towards Arthur again.

The two of them were moving around, coming and going, and the only sounds that could be heard were the clanging of swords and the hissing of swords cutting through the air.

Ulysses frowned, feeling very uncomfortable. Every time Arthur's wooden sword touched his bamboo sword, his sword force would be deflected, and he would fall into a trap where he could not change his moves due to inertia. situation,

The offensive that originally lasted like a violent storm was interrupted into a drizzle, which was very awkward.

Arthur, on the other hand, gets more and more excited as he fights. Facing an opponent like Ulysses, whose strength and speed exceed his own, he must concentrate on dealing with it in order to maintain the current situation.

Slowly, Arthur drew his sword faster and faster, and became more and more determined. The memory of self-judgment swordsmanship, under the pressure of Ulysses, turned into Arthur's own skill.

Beside the wall at the door, Osvid opened his mouth and looked blankly at the two people fighting together, his eyes full of shock.

This kid can actually fight to a draw with his senior brother

Ryan stared closely at the two fighting men, his orange eyes filled with traces of the intersection of swords, silently calculating his sword moves in his mind.

Edward watched Arthur's sword draw with excitement, memorizing and studying seriously at the same time.

No way

This can't go on like this anymore

Ulysses strode forward, close to Arthur.

Regardless of strength, speed or reaction, he is far inferior to me. Every move is slower than mine. He is so close to the battle that he has no time and space to react and judge. How can he fight with me?

The tall body came close to him quickly with the sound of wind. Arthur's pupils shrank, he understood what Ulysses was thinking, and couldn't help but secretly praise him.

This senior brother already understands the solution. Once he takes the initiative to get closer, I can't keep the distance between us because he is faster than me.

Without distance, he would have no time and space to judge his sword moves and choose a response.

The bamboo sword came through the air with a strong wind. Arthur smiled slightly and retreated instead of advancing. He ducked to avoid the bamboo sword's chop. He held out the wooden sword with his right hand and stabbed Ulysses with a shrill whistle. Si's neck.

Ulysses' reaction was also quick. As soon as the bamboo sword struck the air, he immediately evaded to the right to avoid Arthur's thrust. Then, the bamboo sword slashed back, from right to left, towards the back of Arthur's head. Cut it off hard.

Arthur caught sight of Ulysses' movements from the corner of his eye. Without hesitation, he lunged forward decisively, dodging the blow to the back of the head. Then he quickly turned over, raised his wooden sword, and held Ulysses The next chop.

"when"

The wooden sword was split open by the bamboo knife, and the huge force almost dislocated Arthur's wrist band.

"Deng deng deng"

Arthur instantly stood up and took a few steps back. The right hand holding the wooden sword hung down by his side. It was so sore that he could not use it for the time being.

Sure enough, the training time is too short, and the gap in strength and speed is too big. If I get a blow, I will feel very uncomfortable.

Arthur gently turned his wrist, looked at Ulysses who was no longer pursuing him, smiled bitterly, and then surrendered:

"I lost."

This awkward victory could not bring any sense of achievement to Ulysses. Ulysses' face twisted for a while, and finally he said bitterly:

"I just win because I'm older and have better physical fitness than you. After you practice for a few more years, I guess I won't be your opponent."

Then he paused again and continued: "Your judgment swordsmanship is indeed superb, I am not as good as you."

Perhaps only the master can defeat him in pure swordsmanship. An uncertain thought flashed in Ulysses's mind.

He immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "I will report to the master when he comes back. I think the master will be very happy that a master of swordsmanship has appeared in Jiazhi City."

Arthur waved his hand and said modestly: "I'm not a master of swordsmanship. Wushin-ryu's swordsmanship is also very good. I still have a lot to learn."

After the two exchanged business blows, Arthur took Edward with him, and under Osvid's weird disbelief and Ryan's fierce fighting spirit, left the Wuxinryu Gym and returned to the street.

It was already afternoon. After Arthur and Edward had a hasty meal, they walked to Jasmine Street two streets away.

It is close to the wall of Al Ain District and is located in the business district of North District. It is also a famous women's street, where most shops serving women are gathered here.

Arthur and Edward, despite the strange looks from the ladies and girls, went to a hairdresser and a cosmetics store respectively, and bought various hair dyes and a set of cosmetics suitable for girls.

He decisively turned around and left, carefully carrying the fragile bottles and jars, and returned to Orchard Village.
