The Necromancer in the Wizarding World
Chapter 19: Prodigy List
Matthews decided to learn these acupuncture points from Knight Leben to make up for his lack of knowledge in this area. "Knight Leben, can I learn these acupuncture points from you?"
Knight Leben nodded slightly when he heard Matthews' request and said, "If you really want to learn it and think it is really useful, I will do it without reservation."
In fact, Lieben had discussed the theory of human body points with many scholars, but encountered their contempt and disdain. This inspired his fighting spirit and made him more determined to devote himself to this research. After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts and research, Lieben not only identified hundreds of special human body points, but also further revealed the diversity and unique functions of these points.
When Lieben achieved a breakthrough, he became disdainful of the scholars who had looked down on him, preferring to immerse himself in the joy of research alone. Unfortunately, however, there was no one to share this achievement with.
Matthews' appearance came at the right time. He could not only share this achievement with Lieben, but also become the inheritor of this knowledge.
Matthews asked respectfully, "Knight Leben, should I call you mentor or teacher?"
Knight Leben replied excitedly but nervously: "Teacher, I'll call you that. And I don't want anyone to know that I taught you these things. Do you understand me?"
Matthews responded firmly: "Of course, teach! I will never tell anyone, including my parents."
Lieben knew that if the Earl and Countess knew that Matthews had invested a lot of time learning about body points from him, they would probably stop it immediately.
In their view, as a nobleman, Matthews should focus on "serious" matters such as knight training, political marriage or territory management, rather than indulging in such seemingly mysterious and questionable skills. They may think that Matthews' behavior is a waste of precious time and may even damage the family's reputation and status.
Therefore, Lieben chose to privately teach Matthews about body points to avoid potential confusion and misunderstandings.
They agreed to continue to practice joint locks and ghost steps every afternoon starting from tomorrow. At night, Matthews would quietly go to Lieben's residence in the castle to further his knowledge of human body points.
On the second day of sparring, Matthews showed significant progress in actual combat. His use of joint locks became more accurate, and he was able to quickly find the opponent's sensitive joint points and use them, which made the death row prisoners fall one after another.
However, another problem was placed before Matthews. Matthews's great progress made the death row inmates feel desperate and lost their fighting spirit.
Matthews realized that he needed to adopt new strategies to inspire their fighting spirit. You know, these death row prisoners are extremely valuable resources as live targets for actual combat training. Their physical bodies and reaction abilities are crucial to improving their fighting skills.
Therefore, Matthews decided to change the way of sparring, arranging the death row prisoners to fight against him in pairs starting tomorrow, and promised them that if they could cooperate to defeat him, they would also have the opportunity to be exempted from the death penalty.
This proposal immediately attracted the attention of the death row inmates. They began to re-examine Matthews, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in their hearts. They understood that this was a rare opportunity, an opportunity that could change their fate. Therefore, the death row inmates regained their spirits and began to seriously study Matthews' fighting style, find his weaknesses, discuss cooperation strategies, and even began to strengthen their own training.
As night fell, Matthews came to Leben's residence quietly.
Since saying goodbye to Matthews, Lieben has been organizing and carefully preparing the content of today's course. Although he is proficient in the knowledge of human body points, he has never had the experience of teaching students, so he is particularly cautious.
Lieben's residence reflects his pragmatic style. Every item is placed just right, without any unnecessary decoration. The human skeleton in the corner is the most eye-catching decoration here. The large desk is piled with manuscripts, showing Lieben's persistent pursuit of knowledge. The candles on the candle holder next to the desk are burning quietly, emitting soft light in the room.
Lieben and Matthews sat at the desk, and he showed Matthews a detailed hand-drawn human body point map. Lieben stroked the map and said to Matthews affectionately: "This is the result of my years of hard work. Every important body point I found is marked in detail in the map."
Matthews could not accept the term "body points" and he made a suggestion to Instructor Lieben: "Instructor Lieben, in order to clearly distinguish these body points from traditional points such as joint locks, I strongly suggest that we rename them. This will not only reduce confusion, but also improve the clarity of information in our communication."
Lieben was slightly startled, realizing that he had never considered this question before. He had not felt bothered when studying it alone, but now he realized that it was necessary to make a distinction. "It is indeed a good idea to change the name, so what should these points be called?"
Matthews responded quickly and firmly, "Acupuncture points!"
"Acupuncture points" Lieben murmured the word softly. "Okay, let's call it acupuncture points! To distinguish it from the others. Haha, good!"
Matthews gazed at the enthusiastic face of Teacher Lieben and the finely drawn acupuncture point map in front of him, and his heart was filled with deep emotion. He was amazed at the talent of Teacher Lieben and also admired this magnificent academic achievement.
However, Matthews' thoughts extended further. He thought of the complete knowledge system in another world, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He realized that despite the rich treasure trove of scientific knowledge there, he had not been able to fully grasp and utilize it. This realization made him feel both regretful and motivated, prompting him to cherish the learning opportunities in front of him even more.
Next, Lieben explained the details of each acupuncture point in detail, patiently pointing out the specific location of each acupuncture point, its relationship with the surrounding tissues, their respective functions, and some possible guesses.
As the course progressed, the originally scheduled two-hour teaching time was constantly extended. Matthews listened and observed attentively, and his concentration and thirst for knowledge seemed to make Lieben forget the passage of time.
They explored together in the ocean of knowledge. It was not until late at night that they ended the night's study with reluctance and anticipation for the next class.
