The World of Pirates

Chapter 6 Proper Use of the Properties Panel
At dawn, in the utility room, Li Cha looked at the fruits of the night's labor in his hands.

Including the handle, the wooden sword is about 60 cm long.

The blade is slightly curved and the blade is smooth. The center of gravity of the whole knife is at the arc of the knife. The oblate handle is directly connected to the blade body, and there is no block above the handle.

[Unexpectedly, I have the talent of carpentry. 】

Li Cha looked at the wooden knife in his hand and was quite satisfied.

"Bang bang bang", Jon knocked on the door again.

Although he didn't sleep all night, Li Cha didn't feel tired at all.Perhaps thanks to his five meals a day, Li Cha feels that his body is getting more and more energetic now.

I don't know if this is the credit of the panel, or the weirdness of this world.

"Li Cha, get out and do your work!" Jon shouted outside the door.

"Here we come." Although Li Cha couldn't wait to start practicing swords now, he didn't want to leave the tavern yet.

After all, if you don't know how to sail, where can you find a place on this island where you can eat five meals a day without spending money?
You know, poor man and rich man, sword practice is hard work, maybe Li Cha's appetite will reach a new level by then.

------

Late at night, after the tavern closed, Li Cha stood alone in the backyard.

Slowly raising the wooden knife, Li Cha made a basic mid-section configuration.

The so-called configuration, Li Cha understands as posture, which should be similar to the concept of "frame" in traditional Chinese martial arts.

In the description of "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword", the practice of structure is essential.

Generally speaking, the function of structure lies in the switch of attack and defense in actual combat, and this switch requires smooth and natural in actual combat.

Different structures connect the models being practiced.

[However, how do I know if my configuration is standard? 】

Although in "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword", there are descriptions of the transformation of various configurations and the way of exerting force, but without the master correcting, how can it be consistent with the description in the book?

Is it possible that you thought it was the correct way to make a knife, but in fact it was wrong?
[First of all, no matter what the configuration is, the way of holding the sword and the posture of the body must be "harmonious".Be sure to keep your body in the position where it is easiest to exert force. 】

Li Cha maintained a mid-section posture, recalling the description in "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword", slowly adjusting his body shape and center of gravity, and at the same time, relaxing his arms that were stiff from holding the sword.

With the ups and downs of breathing, Li Cha instantly raised his feet and swung his knife, completing a Suzhen.

The so-called Suzhen means slashing empty-handed with a knife.

This practice, which is like a child's play, is emphasized as the most important thing in "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword".

Its main purpose lies in the word "control".

Every time the knife is thrown, from the soles of the feet to the calves, from the waist and abdomen to the shoulders, the upper arm drives the forearm, and then the wrist and fingers exert force, and the knife is attacked instantly.

This series of complex movements is completed by the joint efforts of the bones and muscles of the whole body, and the skills involved are well-known.

[Well, it's time to try the previous idea. 】

Li Cha opened the attribute panel, and with a thought, the panel densely listed the bones and muscles used for swinging the knife just now.

The condition of every bone and every muscle can be clearly seen, like palm lines.

Li Cha adjusted the standard and observed carefully, not letting go of every change.

[Sure enough, the posture of swinging the knife just now was not correct, and the knee has been slightly damaged.If things go on like this, I'm afraid my knees will fail. 】

[But now, I can constantly adjust according to the recorded feedback in the property panel to find the most suitable way of exerting force for me. 】

[Well, it's a pity that the items in this property panel are too complicated and not intuitive enough. It would be great if they could be converted into images. 】

As soon as Li Cha's thoughts turned around, all the dense entries on the property panel disappeared, replaced by a translucent three-dimensional character model, which was almost the same as Li Cha's figure.The bones and muscles of the model are clearly visible.

At this time, Li Cha's model was swinging the knife over and over again, just like Li Cha's swinging the knife just now.

As the model swings the knife, the muscles that are exerting force flash blue light, while the damaged parts flash red light.

"——Mahahahahahahahahahahahaha ... Create! Da Create!! With you, why can't you feel swordsmanship?"

Li Cha danced and laughed wildly, to the point that tears flowed out.

"Li Cha, what the hell are you arguing about? Have you lost your mind after practicing swords!"

Jon on the second floor was woken up by Li Cha's movement, and cursed angrily.

Li Cha quickly restrained his voice, but it's not his fault that Li Cha lost his composure.

Traveling to a strange world, the secrets of the attribute panel and worries about his own safety are all pressing on Li Cha's heart, like a sword hanging from the top. This is also the reason why Li Cha was impatient when he made the wooden sword before.

Originally, Li Cha's psychological endurance was not so unbearable.

But now the ecstasy of discovering the real usage of the panel, mixed with the worries during this period of time, and the confidence in his own future, made Li Cha finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

After venting, Li Cha only felt that the depression in his heart was gone, his thoughts were clear, and his body seemed to be a little lighter.

[This world seems to have no such things as internal strength, true energy, or battle energy. It seems that a clear mind is of no use, just draw a knife and do it. 】

After adjusting his mood, Li Cha began to swing the knife continuously.Every time a knife is swung, it is constantly adjusted according to the model feedback in the attribute panel.

206 bones and 639 muscles are constantly integrated and exert force successively.There are countless details that need to be mastered in order to make a perfect swing.

This is just swinging the knife on the spot. If you change different postures and add different footwork, you need to coordinate more factors and it will be more difficult to control.

If a person without the guidance of a famous teacher or systematic training, if he wields a knife casually, he will easily injure himself before hurting others, resulting in painful consequences of permanent damage to his knees, toes, and wrists.

However, Richard now has the model of the attribute panel as feedback, and all subtle changes are under control.

In "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword", some common configurations are recorded:

The structure of the middle section, the structure of the upper section, the structure of the eight phases, the structure of the oblique, the structure of the lower right section, the structure of the lower left section, and the structure of the lower section.

Slashing is the basic nine types:
straight from top to bottom

Diagonal from right to left

Diagonal from left to right

Crosscut from left to right
crosscut from right to left
Tilt up from left to right

Tilt up from right to left

Straight up from bottom to top
thrust forward
The footwork is divided into three types: walking with a sword, stepping, and sliding.

For configuration, slashing, and footwork, there are detailed notes on the requirements for practice and the points to be noticed in "The True Explanation of the Way of the Sword", which were supplemented by the second-generation successor of "Shuitian Yidao Style".

Li Cha guessed that this was probably because he didn't have any advanced swordsmanship, so he could only work on these foundations.

But this is just convenient for Li Cha, if someone else has only cheat books and no teacher, it is inevitable that he will be blinded.However, Li Cha made rapid progress by comparing the true swordsmanship with the attribute panel.

Even though he practiced all night, Li Cha still hasn't perfected even the basic skill of swinging a knife.

[There are still many parts where the muscle force is scattered and it is really difficult to control, but it really can't be rushed. 】

Even though he has already seen a road to the sky in front of him, Li Cha still needs to walk down this road step by step.

[Let’s practice here today, there is still work in the tavern during the day. 】

Li Cha glanced at the time on the panel and noticed that it would be dawn in about two hours, so he decided to go back and take a rest.

Now Li Cha only needs to rest for two or three hours a day to maintain his energy. Li Cha is already used to this abnormal phenomenon.Anyway, there is half more disposable time per day, which can be regarded as prolonging life in another sense.

After closing the model and opening the property bar, Li Cha observed the current body properties:
Name: Richard

年龄：10岁5个月6天5小时13分42秒

Height: 126 cm
Constitution: 1.2
Power: 0.9
Agility: 1.1
Intelligence: 9
skill:
One Sword Style Swordsmanship: lv0.012 (not started)

[Only a few days later, both physique and agility increased by 0.1 respectively.In the skill column, there is already an entry for swordsmanship, not bad. 】

　If some things have a progress bar, it will probably be much easier, such as learning, such as chasing goddesses.
