Chapter 322 Sword Practice

After Li An returned to the basement, he took a deep breath."In the days to come, I may put all my mind on this sword manual."Shuangxue nodded and said, "Come on."Then.Li An opened the wooden box.A line of large characters clearly written on the sword manual is "Basic Eighteen Styles of Kendo".Is this the best sword manual that Zhao Huaiyi mentioned?No matter.Open the sword manual and press it with your palm.The next second.Li An's mind was immediately pulled into another space by the sword manual.He stood in an endless white light, and a black figure stood in front of him.The other party had no facial features, was completely black, held a three-foot green sword, and turned to face Li An."You are not a swordsman, why are you practicing sword?"Li An was stunned.So weird?The instructor in the sword manual teaching space still has self-awareness?He answered truthfully: "I want to use the stones from other mountains to polish jade."The black shadow was silent for a few seconds, and his eyes fell on Li An's palm.Then, a long sword appeared in his palm."Hold it tightly and lift it straight up."Li An nodded and raised the long sword forward, with the blade parallel to the ground."Sideways."Li An did as he was told.The black shadow said leisurely: "The basic eighteen moves of kendo are: pull, stab, drill, rush, stab, pick, point, collapse, intercept, lead, lift, sweep, cut, block, chop, cut, cut, and stab.""Remember it?"Li An hurriedly recalled the eighteen words, and after thinking about it twice in his head, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Remember it."The black shadow continued: "Whether you can take the strengths of my kendo and make up for the shortcomings of your boxing depends on these few moves.""Hmm?" Li An frowned.The shadow said again: "Whether you have a kendo talent or not can be seen when you use your first sword.""The first move is to draw the sword.""Ah?" Li An was a little confused.The other party hadn't practiced yet, and he asked himself to do it?The shadow explained: "Do it as you imagine it to be."Li An nodded quickly, and he hung the back of the sword on his back a little clumsily.Then, he swung the sword from behind like a stick, raised it high and chopped it down!"Don't move!"Suddenly, the shadow shouted.Li An quickly turned into a sculpture, not daring to move, and maintained the downward slashing posture.After the sword shadow circled Li An, it said again: "Come on, stab!""Okay." Li An nodded quickly, contracted his arms, and then stabbed forward fiercely."Is that so?"The shadow quickly said: "Poke up."Li An's arm muscles bulged again, and the long sword stabbed straight up.At this time, the black shadow stopped giving orders and said lightly: "Interesting."Li An's eyes lit up and said: "I have talent?""Talent... well, let's not talk about this for now." The black shadow shook his head and said: "Your way of exerting force is inconsistent with kendo.""Whether it is drawing the sword, stabbing, or lifting, all your force stops on the hilt.""The force is very strong, but it is not delivered from your hands.""For every sword, the point with the greatest force is not on the sword body or the tip of the sword, but in your palm.""You didn't practice weapons before, which is understandable.""Now if you want to practice sword well, you must find a way to deliver your force to the landing point of the killing move.""For example, when you chop down, the force should appear on the blade.""When you stab forward, the force should appear on the tip of the sword."The black shadow stood aside, raised the long sword in his hand, and said: "For example, like this."The black shadow suddenly thrust a sword forward."Swish!"The sword body vibrated, and the crisp sound of the sword rang in Li An's ears.Li An stared at the long sword with burning eyes.In the slow vision.He clearly saw that the power of the black shadow was like running water, flowing from his arms into the sword body, surging and whistling in the sword body, so the sword body vibrated.But this is not the key.The key is that the "rushing water" suddenly paused before entering the tip of the sword, as if there was an invisible dam that blocked these forces.The gate was not opened until all the running water and all the forces gathered in front of the dam!Finally, the power of this attack was all burst out at the tip of the sword.Li An stared at the long sword in the black shadow's hand.Unconsciously, he opened his chin, but his eyes were still unblinking, as if he was possessed by a demon.The black shadow looked at Li An's fascinated posture and was a little unbelievable.Is this... enlightenment?I don't know how long it took, saliva flowed from the corner of Li An's mouth.His tiger body suddenly shook, and he suddenly came back to his senses. Without saying a word, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed forward.What was the matter with the sword that the black shadow had just used?In theory, Li An had figured it out.He was practicing it.Without the black shadow's instruction, Li An delivered one sword after another and muttered to himself."Not right.""Not right...""Still not right!"The black shadow on the side was a little confused.Li An could already deliver the force into the sword.What he was practicing now was the gathering of force.Delivering force was just the first step.How to gather force and maximize the lethality was the most difficult part of kendo.Different sword styles have different ways of gathering force.The eighteen styles that Li An had learned at this time were the essence of kendo summarized by predecessors.The method of gathering force for the front stab was the simplest and easiest to practice.The difficulty of gathering force for the following downward slash, upward slash, and other moves would become increasingly greater.When Li An could gather force with these eighteen styles at will, his foundation in kendo would be solid.Then he could start practicing and gathering sword intent.Next, it is speed.The speed of swinging the sword, the speed of gathering force.In a short period of time, the sword is drawn frequently, and the force of each sword can be perfectly gathered.Because speed is also the core attribute of the sword.In terms of single-target burst damage, the sword is not as good as the knife, hammer and other weapons, and even worse.But the sword is fast enough!With the effort of a hammer, you can make eight swords in a row, and the lethality is also stacked.There is no year or month in cultivation.The black shadow stood aside, just quietly watching Li An continue to stab forward.One hundred times, one thousand times, ten thousand times.The black shadow's scalp tingled.Because he had never demonstrated the standard posture of stabbing forward.But Li An actually became more and more standard as he practiced.The core reason is that the standard posture is not for superficial skills, but because the standard posture can gather force more easily.In the past, others first practiced the standard posture, and then practiced the gathering of force step by step.But Li An directly practiced the opposite!His strength gathered better and faster, and his posture became more and more standard.I don't know how long it has been.A strong feeling of hunger filled Li An's heart.His eyes were a little dazed, his mind was a little confused, and finally he patted his stomach, turned his head and said to the black shadow: "I'll eat something and come back to practice."After that, he left the sword manual space.Shuangxue was no longer in the basement.He hurried upstairs and looked up. The moon was shining outside the window.The starving ghost went straight to the refrigerator and opened a few cans to fill his stomach.Then, the sound of the door opening came from the bedroom on the second floor.Shuangxue, wearing a blue silk nightgown, leaned against the corner of the stairs and said lazily: "I'll cook something for you."Li An turned his head and saw that this beautiful girl had an inexplicable sense of the charm of a wife at this time.
