The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

As the Earl was busy with the affairs of the territory, he entrusted the experienced Knight Lieben to instruct Matthews. Every afternoon, Knight Lieben would take an hour to focus on teaching Matthews some basic but practical defense and attack cracking techniques.

Although these skills are not the secret skills of the Albert family, they undoubtedly greatly enhanced Matthews' actual combat ability.

Knight Lieben's rich combat experience made his guidance particularly valuable to Matthews. Through these systematic trainings, Matthews gradually learned how to protect himself more efficiently, how to keenly perceive the opponent's offensive and respond quickly.

Over time, these skills gradually accumulated and became an indispensable and valuable asset for Matthews in future battles.

As mentioned earlier, the Earl provided several death row prisoners for Matthews to undergo actual combat training in order to hone his joint lock skills and ghost steps.

On the training ground, Matthews was in the center, facing several death row prisoners with sinister faces. They were of different heights and statures, and it was obvious that the count had taken great care in selecting his opponents. Knight Lieben stood quietly by, closely monitoring the training process to ensure that everything went according to plan.

"Listen, if anyone can beat me today, I will spare his life!" Matthews announced loudly, his voice echoing over the training ground.

As soon as he finished speaking, the death row prisoners immediately became agitated. They stared at the seemingly young opponent in front of them with wide eyes and disbelief, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. Defeating this seemingly inexperienced young man might really win the hope of life.

A sturdy death row inmate took a step forward impatiently. He stared and asked, "Are you serious? You won't regret it later, will you?"

Matthews replied without hesitation: "I, Matthews Albert, will keep my word and will never break it. Besides, I will fight you with bare hands, and it will be a fair fight."

He solemnly made the promise with his full name, which surprised the Knight Lieben standing beside him. Among the nobles, promises were often as light as a feather, but once they used their real names as a guarantee, it usually meant that they would keep their promises.

Hearing these words, the death row inmates were extremely excited. They scrambled to prove their strength and fight for that slim chance of survival.

Matthews looked around at the crowd, and his eyes finally fell on the strong man who spoke up bravely. He nodded and signaled him to step forward to challenge. Seeing this, the surrounding death row prisoners whispered with envy and regret, realizing that they had missed the opportunity to fight with this nobleman and win their freedom.

Entering the fight, Matthews began to try to use his joint lock fighting skills and ghost steps. Although his ghost steps were still unfamiliar, they were enough to deal with the fierce attacks of the death row prisoner.

However, his proud joint lock fighting skills repeatedly failed, which made him confused.

Matthews was full of doubts and couldn't find the crux of the problem. So he decided to stop fighting and go to Knight Lieben to seek advice. He knew that Knight Lieben was very knowledgeable in joint lock fighting skills and would be able to give him some advice.

Knight Lieben gathered his thoughts and answered seriously, "Master Matthews, although your movements are smooth, they lack the sharpness and decisiveness required for joint lock fighting skills. They look more like an artistic performance than a practical skill. In addition, when you executed the joint lock, you did not accurately aim at the key points of the opponent's joints, which is crucial."

After hearing this, Matthews fell into deep thought. He put aside the first point pointed out by Knight Leben for the time being, but the second point hit his pain point.

He was eager to find a solution, so he once again sought guidance from Lieben: "Knight Lieben, can you teach me how to accurately find and lock the sensitive areas of the opponent's joints?"

Knight Lieben gave his advice succinctly: “The best way is to experience it yourself.”

Although Matthews had no better choice, he agreed with this view. Unlike many nobles who were cautious and conservative, Matthews firmly believed that only through personal experience could he truly master the essence of joint lock fighting skills.

Knight Lieben nodded approvingly, expressing his recognition of Matthews' determination and attitude, and decided to share some of his valuable personal experience. He emphasized that personally feeling the force points of the joint lock is the core of mastering this technique.

In addition, Matthews needs to train and improve his perception by practicing with opponents of various sizes and skills. Since everyone's body structure is different, it is crucial to adapt quickly and find the opponent's weaknesses in combat.

Lieben continued to remind Matthews to pay attention to his opponent's movements and breathing, as these subtle clues often indicate vulnerable moments in the joints. Staying calm and highly focused is the key to success, so that he can launch an attack accurately at a critical moment.

Through these practical experiences and strategic guidance, Knight Lieben hopes that Matthews can quickly improve his joint lock fighting skills.

Knight Leben assured Matthews in an appreciative and firm tone: "Master Matthews, I will use just the right amount of force to ensure that you can not only clearly feel the sensitive points of the joints, but also ensure your safety and avoid any harm."

Matthews watched Knight Lieben's every move intently, even though from the outside, Lieben's attack position did not seem to be much different from Matthews' own attack method. But after following Knight Lieben's advice, he closed his eyes and began to feel the subtle changes with all his heart.

Under the careful guidance of Knight Lieben, Matthews began to explore a new way of perception. He no longer relied too much on vision, but tried to mobilize other senses of the body - touch, hearing, and even intuition. He closed his eyes and let Knight Lieben's movements draw a vivid dynamic picture in his mind.

In this way, Matthews gradually learned how to accurately perceive and judge the sensitive points of the joints without relying on vision.

Every movement and technique of Knight Lieben showed his superb skills and precise control. Every strike allowed Matthews to deeply experience the subtle body reactions at the joints. As time went by, Matthews gradually drew a detailed anatomy of the human body in his mind.

Knight Leben said to Matthews with a complicated expression: "Master Matthews, the special points of the human body are not only located near the joints. In fact, there are many such special points all over the body."

Matthews was stunned, and was shocked by what Lieben said, because he realized that Lieben was describing the acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine. He was not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, and only knew a few well-known acupuncture points, such as Hegu, Zusanli, Baihui, etc.

Later, Knight Lieben further explained that although these points have never been recorded in any books, they will also produce significant and even fatal effects once they are hit. He also said that these are all his findings from more than 20 years of combat experience and in-depth research on the human body.

At this time, Matthews showed great interest in Knight Leben's ability to discover and effectively use these points. According to Knight Leben, this world does not seem to have the concept of acupuncture points, which means that this knowledge is unique in this world.

Matthews realized that perhaps this knowledge of Chinese medicine acupuncture points could play a huge role in his future journey.
