Chapter 67 The Basics of Swordsmanship

After a whole night of translation and revision word by word, a brand new book appeared on Miss Sophie's desk.

"This, this is really the most peerless swordsmanship! I can't wait to practice it!" Miss Sophie was so excited that she couldn't control herself when she looked at the newly completed "Nine Strongest Swordsmanship to Crack".

After staying up all night, Zhang Ang was already very sleepy, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "It's better to rest and sleep for a while before practicing."

"Then you go to sleep first, I'll practice swordsmanship!" Miss Sophie ignored Zhang Ang at all, opened the back door and walked out.

There is a small garden at the back door of the small building, surrounded by tall shrubs, very quiet and secluded.

Zhang Ang yawned, and decided to sharpen the knife instead of chopping firewood by mistake, or go to practice swords after a good night's sleep.

After sleeping until the afternoon, Zhang Ang walked into the small garden with his sword in hand after washing up.

But he saw Miss Sophie sitting on a stone bench beside her holding a sword, frowning, thinking about something.

"How is the practice? Isn't this sword technique very powerful?" Zhang Ang asked proudly.

"This is indeed a truly peerless swordsmanship, but it is not so easy to practice." Miss Sophie raised her head with a thoughtful expression.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ang was puzzled.

"Because this is actually a sword counting technique, a peerless sword counting skill!" Miss Sophie's expression was serious.

"What is sword counting?" Zhang Ang asked.

"Sword counting is the general term for the kind of swordsmanship that incorporates calculations into swordsmanship. For example, the "Fibonacci Indeterminate Sword" I just auctioned off is to incorporate the mathematical principles of Fibonacci's indeterminate equation into swordsmanship. A sword technique with more erratic sword movements." Miss Sophie explained.

"Then what does this "Nine Strongest Sword Techniques to Crack" have anything to do with this mathematics?" Zhang Ang was still puzzled.

"This swordsmanship focuses on deciphering. It can theoretically decipher most of the martial arts on the mainland today, but it requires a lot of fast calculations to achieve it. Every move and every style in it is actually not fixed. All The moves are all based on the optimal solution calculated in real time based on the situation during the battle. This is the fundamental reason why this sword technique can outperform other martial arts with moves even though it has no moves. And calculating this kind of thing is Those who need calculation talents need to be able to perform enough calculations in a short enough time to unleash the true power of this sword technique!" Miss Sophie explained in detail.

"That is to say, Miss Sophie, you can't practice this sword skill?" Zhang Ang felt disappointed. He himself is also a bad hand at mathematics, and he didn't pass the mathematics several times in the previous exams.

"Of course I have this talent, it just needs a period of calculation practice." Miss Sophie's words shocked Zhang Ang, and fully recognized the gap between geniuses and mortals.

But Zhang Ang is still unwilling to give up. After all, this is one of the strongest swordsmanship in the legend. If he doesn't practice it, he will definitely not feel reconciled.

"Miss Sophie, can you teach me this sword technique?" Zhang Ang asked after hesitating for a while.

"Are you sure you want to learn swordsmanship?" Miss Sophie's expression suddenly became serious.

"Yes, although it is said that math calculation talents are needed, I still want to learn!" Zhang Ang expressed his determination.

"Well, let's start with the simplest." Miss Sophie agreed.

Zhang Ang pulled out a brand new fine steel sword: "Then what should I practice first?"

"Let's practice stabbing first today." Miss Sophie also drew out her sword.

"What? Don't you practice swordsmanship?" Zhang Ang was puzzled.

"Have you practiced swordsmanship before?" Miss Sophie asked back.

"No, no." Zhang Ang admitted.

"Since I haven't learned swordsmanship before, of course I will start with the basic movements of swordsmanship. Today I will practice the 'stab' first, and practice the 'straight thrust'." Miss Sophie made a gesture, thrusting the sword in her hand straight forward. Out: "See, it looks like this."

Following Zhang Ang's example, he also set up his movements and stabbed forward forcefully.

"The movement is wrong, not straight enough, too hard, do it again." Miss Sophie ordered.

Another stab.

"No, the force is too light, the sword is not stable enough, come again."

Another stab.

"No, it's a straight stab, facing straight ahead, don't crooked, come again."

Then I practiced straight stabbing all afternoon, until Zhang Ang couldn't lift his hand, and his wrist was swollen.

"How long do you have to practice this 'straight stab'?" Zhang Ang couldn't help asking while clutching his swollen wrist.

"It took me three days back then. Judging by your progress, it may take two or three weeks." Miss Sophie's tone was flat.

"Huh? Just learn this movement in two or three weeks?" Zhang Ang felt very speechless.

"Yeah, learning swordsmanship, I can't even do the basic moves, how can I learn? 'Slant stab' is followed by 'slanted stab', 'back stab', 'backhand stab' and other stab skills, after learning 'stab' there is still Basic movements such as 'splitting', 'wiping', 'pull', 'pushing', 'breaking', 'pointing', etc., are the most basic basic skills for learning swordsmanship. I also came here in the same way back then. Important, the basic movements that need to be practiced every day and every year are nothing more than those with high talents who learn quickly, and those with almost talents who learn slowly. Everyone has to learn. Not to mention me, it is a genius like D'Artagnan who played in the Musketeers Sometimes, it also starts from these basic movements, repeat and repeat, practice and practice, and only then can you learn the moves completely by instinct." Miss Sophie gave another long speech.

"It's so hard." Zhang Ang complained a little.

"What do you think learning is? Learning a martial art is not something you can learn easily and comfortably. Like you used to, what's the use of hacking with a good sword technique? I practice against you. , it can also slightly increase your actual combat ability and let it play its original power. This is not enough to make your saber technique improve much. If you want to really learn a martial art, you need to dismantle the moves Divide it into the most basic moves one by one, and then carry out continuous and repeated targeted exercises. After these movements are completely learned in your muscles, form an instinct, and freely form a movement with your thoughts This move can be withdrawn at any time, change it, transform it into a real move and a false move at will, and this is a real martial arts." Miss Sophie always likes to express the truth in a long way.

"Okay! I will definitely work hard! I must learn this peerless sword art!" Zhang Ang also made up his mind that no matter how hard it is or how difficult it is, he must learn the sword art and improve his strength, and he will no longer face anything. Helpless, can only watch.

"That's right. Of course, I will work hard with you. After all, it is very shameful to be severely injured and unconscious in a duel by a so-called rival." Miss Sophie's voice was very soft, but her eyes seemed to be burning. A raging flame.
