Actually, my physique wasn't suitable for practicing warrior skills because my muscles and bones were too thin. Even if I trained, it would be very difficult to achieve that. With Garo's physique, sometimes talent would decide everything. Although it was helpless, it was an inescapable fact. If he wanted to improve his strength through practice, it was undoubtedly very difficult. If he wanted to further improve his strength, he could only use other methods. This reminded me of the monsters in the Legend of Mir 2. He wondered if killing monsters in this world would have a similar effect. I decided to give it a try, and my target was the scarecrows and rake cats that often appeared in the wilderness south of the village. First of all, I was sure that there were no orcs or wolves in the south of the village. After all, that direction was closer to the city of Beqi, and there were more people coming and going. Dangerous creatures like orcs and wolves would be killed by passing rangers. After all, the skulls of orcs and wolves were very good defensive materials and could be exchanged for more than ten copper coins. The Rake Cat and the Scarecrow, which had no economic value, naturally wouldn't be able to attract the Rangers. Killing them would only waste their energy and gain them nothing else. Therefore, scarecrows and rake cats often appeared on both sides of the road. And they are the best targets for my experiments.
However, it was obviously impossible to kill them with the ebony sword that was specially used for practice. Therefore, I decided to change my weapon. Fortunately, my father, whom I had never met before, left behind several weapons, including the iron sword that I could carry now. Actually, there were still a few weapons hidden under my mother's bed, but my mother refused to let me open the box to take a look. As for the reason, my mother never explained it.
After making up my mind, I quickly ran to my mother's room and found the iron sword in the cabinet beside the bed. After that, I quietly slipped away from the back door. I didn't want my mother to know about my plan. Otherwise, she would be worried to death.
He carefully weighed the iron sword in his hand. It seemed to be lighter than the ebony sword. The two sharp blades on both sides flickered with a cold light, making it seem very sharp. Moreover, the body of the sword was more than one meter long. It had been three months since he came to this world, but this was the first time he held a sharpened iron sword. For a moment, he felt his spirits lift. I believe that even 10 Fatty Luo might not be my match. This is because in a battle, it is not about who has the bigger body or the stronger strength that is the winner. In many cases, speed and technique are also very important. And I believe that my speed and technique are not inferior to my peers. In addition to the sharp edge of the iron sword, the requirement for strength was reduced to the lowest point. Of course, the most important point was that I was now in a state of full stamina, not the extreme state of exhaustion after two hours of morning exercise.
About an hour later, I finally arrived at the wilderness south of the village.
From afar, he saw a zombie-like, swaying figure. It was a scarecrow. Looks like my luck is pretty good. I'll start with you. With my spirits lifted, I quickly rushed towards the scarecrow.
Almost at the same time, the scarecrow also discovered my existence. His stiff arms formed a semicircle and swept over fiercely. Hah! My iron sword also swept out.
Bang! The shocking force almost numbed my arm. Good heavens, what great strength. The iron sword in his hand was almost sent flying. However, I was still forced to take a few steps back, while the scarecrow seemed unaffected. He continued to rush over. The arm that I slashed just now only left a faint sword mark. At this moment, the two stiff arms swept over again.
It seemed that it was unwise to compete with the scarecrow in terms of strength. Kaede had mentioned this to me before. The scarecrow's weakness was the fist-sized bulge in its throat. As long as that part was pierced, the scarecrow would lose its ability to move. Therefore, when I saw the scarecrow's sweeping arms, I quickly took a few steps back. When the scarecrow's sweep missed, it suddenly closed in and stabbed forward. It stabbed at the scarecrow's throat.
Whoosh! As if it was prepared, the scarecrow's stiff body actually jumped sideways in a flash and avoided my attack. Then, it was another sweep. The scarecrow took advantage of my missed attack to counterattack. I didn't have time to retreat at all. I could only subconsciously raise my sword and block.
Because he had rushed back to defend, he didn't have the time to use his strength. As a result, he was sent flying by the scarecrow's powerful force.
Bang! I was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground. It was as if my bones were about to break. The scarecrow didn't stop at all. Although it still had that stiff body, its legs seemed to have been wound up. Although its footsteps were stiff, its speed wasn't slow. It directly rushed in front of me.
It was dangerous! If I didn't dodge, I would definitely die. Although the scarecrow was not dangerous to normal rangers, it could easily take my life.
Bang! At the instant the scarecrow's arm smashed down, I rolled and crawled to dodge it. Then, I stood up. The ground that I had just been smashed into had a small pit. My goodness, if I had been a little slower, I would definitely have died an ugly death.
Hah! Hah! She only felt her chest thumping non-stop. This is my first time in real combat, and I'm betting my life on it. How can I not be nervous? However, at this moment, I once again assumed a posture. From the fight just now, I understood that the scarecrows were extraordinarily strong, and they were also extremely defensive against their vitals. Without sufficient speed and accuracy, it would be very difficult to hit its vital parts. However, it was easier said than done to stab his vital parts. At this moment, I couldn't help but think of what Kaede had taught me on the lawn. Obviously, the technique to deal with the scarecrow was the key.
The key to stabbing was to relax both arms and waist, and coordinate with the footwork. Once the target was selected, it was best to launch the stab without hesitation. It was fast, accurate, and ruthless. When he chose a target, he had to attack with all his might.
Everything that Kaede taught me kept repeating in my mind. When I talked about the Stabbing Formula, I couldn't help but think of my good friends in my previous life, Tiantian and Brother Long. This guy was a good fencer on the national team. He would catch me as a target when he was free. Over time, I actually learned some simple fencing skills. I just didn't know if I could use my fencing skills after changing my body. But now was not the time to hesitate. So I calmed down and carefully looked at the scarecrow in front of me. The scarecrow quickly adjusted its body and rushed over, almost no different from before. His stiff arms swept out once again.
I knew that the most crucial moment would be when the scarecrow attacked. He resisted the urge to retreat, but his eyes were still fixed on the scarecrow's sweeping arms. The scarecrow's arms moved closer and closer, and I took a few small steps back in response. As I barely dodged the scarecrow's left arm, the throat that the scarecrow was protecting between its arms was clearly visible to me.
At this moment, without any hesitation, the iron sword in his hand pierced towards the scarecrow's throat like lightning.
Puchi!
Bang!
Almost at the same time, the scarecrow's arm swept behind me and smashed into my chest. The terrifying force sent me flying. However, I was sure that my sword had pierced the scarecrow's throat when I was sent flying.
Kacha! Bang!
I fell to the ground and resisted the urge to vomit blood. I barely stood up, but I saw the scattered scarecrow turn into a ball of flames and then into a pile of ashes.
Whoosh! Damn it, I finally killed him. The moment he relaxed, he felt the intense pain all over his body. It was obvious that I was also injured quite badly by the scarecrow's three sweeping strikes. However, the victory of the first battle made me ecstatic.
That stab just now was as if it was aided by a god. It was extremely fast and accurate. Most importantly, the power of that stab contained all the power in my body.
I'm sure I've never stabbed like that in my past training. It was only at this moment that I vaguely felt the true meaning of the word 'Stab.' A simple stab actually contained movement techniques, strength, footwork, and various other key factors. Only by fully utilizing these factors could this attack unleash its true power. Real combat was cruel. Life and death were often determined in the blink of an eye. I sat on the ground weakly and carefully recalled the wonderful feeling of that last attack. I knew that even though I had only killed a scarecrow, this battle had left a deep impression on me. This was completely different from the training on the lawn and the fencing training with Brother Long Tian Tian in the sword room. At that moment, I could clearly feel the effect of the fusion of speed, skill, and strength. On the other hand, I also deeply felt that I could only display my true potential in actual combat, in a critical moment of life and death. Without a doubt, I knew that only in actual combat could I hone my strength. Although my physical strength was limited, if I used it properly, it would be enough to kill my opponent. After figuring this out, he felt as if he had just gained an epiphany. Perhaps the extreme pursuit of a strong physique in the past did not suit my style at all. At this moment, I have confidence. I think I've found a suitable way to cultivate.
After my physical strength recovered, I once again found another lone scarecrow and began to fight it. Perhaps it was because I had overcome my fear and nervousness, but the scarecrow's attacks and weaknesses became clearer and clearer in my eyes. Even so, the moment I hit the scarecrow's throat, I was still inevitably hit by the scarecrow's final blow, which was extremely painful.
Looking at the scarecrow that had turned into ashes, I sat cross-legged on the ground again and began to reflect. It was obvious that even though I had the ability to kill the scarecrow, I couldn't dodge its final attack. What exactly is going on? I can be sure that there must be a flaw in my stab. Could it be that there was a problem with my technique? Or maybe there's something wrong with my movement technique and footwork.
I began to think about how to kill the scarecrow and avoid its final attack at the same time. Perhaps I used too much strength when I stabbed out, so I didn't have the space or opportunity to retreat. At this moment, I remembered that there was a set of footwork and body movements that matched the fencing technique. This was also taught to me by Brother Long. Brother Long said that this set of footwork was actually a footwork that controlled distance. In fencing, footwork was very important. It could be said that a swordsman with excellent footwork could be invincible. It was a pity that I didn't seriously learn it at that time. However, now that he thought about it, he was sure that no other skill could bring out the essence of the word as vividly as fencing. They always used agile footwork and body movements to dodge the enemy's attack and stab out a fatal sword. At the same time, they would also use agile body movements and footwork to dodge the enemy's counterattack. No matter how powerful an opponent was, they would always be restrained in front of a powerful swordsman. In fencing, strength wasn't the absolute factor. Speed and technique were the keys to victory. Without a doubt, fencing was the most suitable for me, who currently lacked strength.
Having made up my mind, I decided to try to incorporate the essence of fencing into the basic sword techniques. At the same time, I tried my best to recall the scenes of my previous practice of footwork.
Once again, I chose a lone scarecrow and began to try out a new attack technique. He held the iron sword in his right hand and raised it forward. Although it felt a little heavy, it could still be used.
He tried his best to relax his footwork and made irregular movements.
Whoosh, the scarecrow's powerful sweep quickly swept towards his waist. I carefully controlled my steps and maintained a suitable distance. The moment the scarecrow's throat appeared, I leaned forward and stabbed out with my iron sword. At the same time, I staggered slightly. At the same time, my entire person quickly retreated.
Whoosh! The scarecrow's arm brushed past my chest. Then, with a bang, it fell apart. Finally, it emitted a suspicious flame and turned into ashes.
I succeeded. I stared at the iron sword in my hand in disbelief. I had actually dodged the last blow. Moreover, that sword strike just now, whether it was an attack or a retreat, was astonishingly fast. Moreover, the physical strength consumed was almost negligible. He did not even feel the need to breathe.
At this moment, I knew that my guiding ideology was correct. I was so happy that I almost couldn't help but roar towards the sky.
It was not easy for her to calm down. It seemed that he had to practice harder and perfect this sword technique as soon as possible.
Soon, I found a single scarecrow. In just a few moments, the scarecrow was stabbed to death by my sword, and I was unharmed. This caused my confidence to skyrocket. It seemed that I couldn't afford to talk about a single scarecrow anymore. In that case, I'd like to test my abilities in a group battle.
Thinking of this, I stopped looking for the lone scarecrow. I directly rushed towards the three scarecrows that were very close to each other. Before they could even attack, I took the initiative to attack and killed a scarecrow with my first strike. At the same time, the attacks of the other two scarecrows also swept towards me. In a flash, I stepped forward and dodged. At the same time, I stabbed the throat of another scarecrow with astonishing speed. The sword retreated without any pause. In the blink of an eye, I killed the other scarecrow.
After avoiding the last scarecrow, I casually stabbed him to death.
The three scarecrows were easily dealt with by me.
It was unbelievable that it was so simple. After this lesson, I was once again convinced that the path I was taking was absolutely correct. My confidence had swelled to an unprecedented level, and I was no longer satisfied with killing three scarecrows. I decided to choose four scarecrows to attack.
However, while killing the last scarecrow, I was finally hit by the last scarecrow's counterattack.
En! Hah! I forcefully endured the churning blood in my chest. It seemed that my movement technique was still not enough to dodge the last scarecrow's attack. It seemed that he had to strengthen his movement technique next time.
At this moment, the sun had already risen to the center of the sky. It seemed that it was time to go home for dinner. Unexpectedly, four hours had passed in the blink of an eye. He had really benefited a lot from this practical training.
