Chapter 7, The Art of Fighting, Part
Relying on the physical fitness of a super soldier, Binghua, who is only fourteen years old, was able to persist in completing this abnormal level of direct stabbing training.
As the days passed, Binghua felt that she was not the legendary genius. More than ten days had passed, and she still could not make every sword thrust accurately into the small hole.
The originally bare rock wall now has a large sunken pit, and only the small hole left by Yugni is still so conspicuous.
Binghua sighed in her heart that her father's sword could penetrate such a deep hole in this unknown rock wall with just a light thrust.
In fact, what Binghua didn’t know was that her father Yugeni had secretly come here several times at night.
However, Binghua's more than ten days of straight stabbing training were not without results. When she held the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword finally stopped shaking. Although it had not yet achieved absolute stillness, it was still very stable.
This brought about a significant improvement in accuracy, greatly increasing the number of times Binghua stabbed the small hole target left by his father Yugni.
Four out of ten times he was able to hit the target, and even if he missed it, it would only deviate a little bit. You have to know that this was when Binghua had no time to aim too closely.
But just as Binghua stabbed the target again, her father Yugni flapped his angel wings and descended from the sky.
"Okay, Binghua, you have completed the practice of the straight thrust in swordsmanship and are already familiar with it. Next, I will teach you how to use the chopping and splitting movements."
"But I haven't met your requirements yet?"
Binghua put down the long cross sword in her hand, her chest heaving. After releasing the anger in her chest that she would not give up until she hit the target, she suddenly felt very tired, and the sword in her hand seemed to have become several times heavier.
"That level can only be achieved through long-term training. You have proved to me that your decision to learn swordsmanship was not made on a whim."
"I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. Binghua, your two brothers love to play and don't practice the basic skills of swordsmanship seriously.
It's been more than ten years, and in their hands, a sword is still as weak as a stick."
Yugeni touched Binghua's head and his tone was rarely gentle.
Binghua did not resist. Although she didn't like others touching her head, Yougni was her father after all.
"Okay, now I'll teach you how to chop and slash with a sword."
Binghua thought to herself, 'Shouldn't chopping and splitting be the way to use a knife?'
However, when Binghua took a look at the cross sword in her hand, she reacted. The blade of the cross sword in her hand was not narrow and had blades on both sides, so the attack could include chopping and slashing.
"Chopping is to use the strength of your entire arm to swing the sword in your hand. Whether you are holding the sword with one hand or two hands and chopping horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, you are using the centrifugal force generated by the swing of your arm to enhance the power of the blade when you chop."
As Yugni spoke, he also demonstrated. He stood there and used the micro-wormhole to move his weapons out.
The next moment, the whistling sound of the sharp blade breaking through the air reached Binghua's ears. Yugel stood with one hand holding the hilt and casually waving the cross sword in his hand.
In Binghua's view, her father's right arm was like a pendulum. When he swung the sword, his upper arm and upper arm moved together as a whole.
Just like swinging a yo-yo, the entire arm is the yo-yo string, and the cross sword is the yo-yo tied to the other end.
Then Yugeni showed Binghua how to use the cross sword.
"The so-called chopping means to use all your strength to chop the sword down. The goal is to kill the enemy with one blow and not stop until the enemy is cut in half. So when you chop the sword out, your body should lean forward."
As he spoke, Yugni made a chopping motion, then he grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and raised it above his head.
Then, Yugni let out a low roar, and was suddenly chopped down by the long sword raised above his head. At the same time, his body leaned forward as if he was completely pressed on the sword.
Finally, the sword blade stopped thirty centimeters from the ground, but the grass below the blade seemed to be pressed to the sides by something, revealing the bare ground.
From a bystander's perspective and because Yugeni slowed down his movements, Binghua could clearly see the sword falling.
His father Yugni gathered all his strength into one stream, which was transferred through his waist and arms to the sword.
"Binghua, you come and try."
After Yugni finished his demonstration, he gave up his seat to let Binghua try it as well.
Binghua stood there thinking for a few seconds, and Yugeni beside her did not urge her. Then Binghua grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand and began to swing it.
At first Binghua was not used to it. When she swung the weapon, only her forearm moved, just like an ordinary person waving something. It seemed soft and powerless.
However, as he swung the sword more and more, Binghua gradually found a feeling.
Because of the continuous practice of straight stabbing in the past ten days, the sword in Binghua's hand did not tremble like that of ordinary people when they held the sword for the first time, so when he swung the cross sword in his hand for the twentieth time.
For the first time, Binghua's forearm and arm formed a momentary resonance, and the speed of sword swinging became much faster, but it was still very messy, not as free as Yugni.
Binghua didn't know that this had already surprised Eugenie who was standing by. The level that most new recruits of the Angel Legion had to undergo rigorous training for several months was actually mastered by his daughter in just half a month.
Seeing this, Yugni stopped. Future progress could only depend on the accumulation of time and hard work.
Then Yugeni asked his daughter Binghua to demonstrate the use of the sword technique of chopping. Although she was very immature, she did have some skills.
Seeing this, Yugni had nothing more to teach. Swordsmanship is easy to learn but difficult to master.
Even Yugeni's own swordsmanship was honed through long periods of time and endless fighting.
Next, Yugni explained to Binghua how to practice chopping and slashing, corrected some of Binghua's subtle mistakes in exerting force, and then let Binghua start practicing by herself.
The method of practice is very simple, which is to stab straight a thousand times, then cut a diagonal line with the sword a thousand times, and then chop hard a thousand times.
Yugeni did not tell Binghua how long she should train each day. He just taught her the training method and left it to her.
When leaving, Yugni sighed in his heart, it would be great if Binghua was a male angel, so that he could inherit his position.
When he thought of this, Yugeni began to hate his two sons for not fighting for him. His two sons, Sass and Simon, had gotten involved with Prince Huaye at some point in time.
Even Yugeni had to show respect to the crown prince of the angel clan, otherwise he would have brought those two little bastards back and given them a good lesson.
