"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Feng Ying's eyes were bright, "My body shape doesn't affect it?"
"." Altman looked down at Feng Ying.
No matter whether they are hunter apprentices in the training camp or graduates who have graduated for many years, they are all afraid of him. No one dares to speak to him like this.
Something fresh.
"The ones who are best at precise defense are not us defenders, but the tachi users." Altman glanced at Hayata, who was carrying the otachi, and continued:
"Tachi is a weapon derived from the great sword. The thin and slender blade cannot be used for blocking, and its heavy weight makes Taito users not as nimble as other swordsmen with light weapons.
This makes it possible that a long time ago, Tachi only existed as a derivative of the Great Sword (the first generation). "
"Eh? Is that so?" Feng Ying was surprised.
"Later, the emergence of Qi Refining and Air Blade Slashing made the Tai Sword an independent type of weapon. For a very long time after that, the Tai Sword appeared as a purely offensive weapon.
This can be clearly seen from the older generation of tachi wielders, such as Master Samantabhadra in your Yanhuo Village. With a tachi in his hand, it seems that there is nothing in the world that he can't cut. "
Hearing this, several people present couldn't help but recall the scene of Master Samantabhadra slicing through the lightning with his sword.
“In recent decades, tachi sword skills have undergone earth-shaking changes again. The emergence and popularization of the concept of precision defense have made tachi become one of the most powerful types of weapons in one fell swoop.
Regarding this point, Miss Hayata should be very clear. Your master Yamos is known as the 'Swift Sword' because he is particularly good at seeing and Iai, and is famous for it.
As his disciple, you must be good at this. "
Hayata smiled when she heard this. At this point, she didn't need to be modest.
Gordon scratched his chin, wondering.
It was during the period of the two-star hunter that Hayata left the profession and began to practice alone. At that time, Yamos had already taught her the techniques of seeing and Iai.
By the time she was a three-star hunter, she was already able to use these techniques very skillfully.
Otherwise, with her red-blade fanaticism at the time, she would have been killed by the monster long ago.
These two moves may seem ordinary, but in fact they require quite high sword skills and reaction speed.
Ordinary swordsmen rarely master these two moves at such an early stage. Even if they master them, they are mostly used to deal with emergencies rather than used frequently.
Hayata's fighting method of using Mikiniri Iai to repeatedly jump between the monster's claws was originally inherited from her master Amos.
"It's a little bit far." Altman returned his gaze to Feng Ying, "I say this to tell you that the concept of precision defense may not have been pioneered by the Taito users, but it was indeed carried forward by them. .
There are some petite Taitojis out there, and Ms. Hayata is also not a strong physique, so you don’t need to worry about body shape. "
Hayata nodded and said: "Indeed, as Mr. Altman said, size and absolute strength are not the key to precision defense moves. In addition to explosive power, the most important thing is the judgment of timing and angle.
However, I can only evaluate the precision defense of Tai Sword. I don’t know what the precision defense of Shield Ax is. "
Altman crossed his arms, "The precise defense skills of the shield ax have only been gradually developed in the past two years, and they are indeed very different from the tachi.
Let's rest for a while, and we'll talk more about it later when the training weapons arrive. "
While waiting, Feng Ying ran to Hayata excitedly and asked about the precise defensive moves that she had only thought were so handsome but had not thought about them in depth.
Gordon came to Altman and asked some questions.
"Mr. Altman, the reason why so-called precision defense is highly respected among masters is not just because this type of move can be used to remove or block monster attacks with minimal force.
The most important thing is to seize the moment when the monster fails to attack and even use its power to launch a powerful counterattack, right? "
"That's right." Altman nodded and said, "After all, you can't kill monsters just by relying on defense."
If the person who said this was Feng Ying, he might be a little surprised, but Gordon. He was not surprised.
When he heard that the Great Elder intended to promote a young hunter who was only twenty-five years old to eight stars, he made a special trip to learn about Gordon's experience.
The latter's hunting records and achievements in creating a courageous style allowed him to actively ignore Gordon's age and treat him as a hunter of the same level.
"Does Mr. Gordon have any discoveries or ideas?" Altman asked proactively.
"Ahem, sir, you should just call me Gordon."
Gordon coughed dryly and continued: "I'm not afraid of your laughter, in fact, I have been trying to find a way to use the sword to perform precise defense.
You are an expert in defense and I would like to ask your opinion. "
"Precision defense of the big sword?" Altman's face showed surprise.
Gordon looked slightly embarrassed and asked, "Do you think it's unreliable?"
"No, no, no, there's nothing unreliable. To put it bluntly, precision defense is a way of parrying at the right time. If you can do it with a Tai Sword, you can do it with a Great Sword in theory. It's just a matter of difficulty."
Having said this, Altman paused, "Actually, the Great Swordsman tried to walk this road, although he ended up walking on another road."
Gordon became interested and asked, "Has anyone tried it with the Great Swordsman? Can I ask for details?"
Altman stroked his beard and said, "It was almost ten years ago, right? A great swordsman from Ryūliyuan came to me and discussed this with me.
I heard that precision defense was not developed later, but instead a special dodge posture similar to Tachimikiri was developed. "
"Uh, are you talking about Senior Bernard?"
"Yes, it's a pity that he died later. Did you know him?"
Gordon sighed, "Well, the courage style was developed based on the notes left by senior Bernard."
"That's it." Altman was silent for a few seconds and patted Gordon's arm.
As for more verbal comfort, it's not necessary.
Gordon rubbed his face vigorously and adjusted his mood, "Mr. Altman, my current thoughts on precision defense are not the same as the original direction of Bernard.
Do you think it's possible to harness the power of monster attacks to a greater extent? "
"To a greater extent?" Altman was stunned and quickly understood, "I can probably understand what you mean. It is very common to use the power of monsters while defending accurately.
For example, the ones I plan to teach Feng Ying can release powerful attribute liberation attacks at a very fast speed after precise defense.
To put it bluntly, it turns into a spring. The monster's attack makes you squat, and then you use this power to jump higher.
Do you hope to go further and more thoroughly on this road? "
"That's pretty much what it means."
"What is the 'greater limit' you envision?"
Gordon thought for a while, "After precise defense, directly release the true charged slash?"
"." A look of astonishment appeared on Altman's face again, and the old hunter then smiled bitterly and said: "You really took a big step."
"Do you think it's possible?" Gordon continued.
Altman was silent for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "If another hunter asked me this, I might scold him.
This application exists only in theory.
If you want to use that power, you must first withstand that power. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people, and it is also difficult for hunters. If your body is not strong enough, your spine will be crushed.
But you, you might actually be able to do it. "
Gordon grinned. He thought his body was quite strong.
"I can't give you any direct advice. After all, big swords are not my specialty, but I may be able to provide you with some direction."
"You say."
"There is a move in Ryuuriin's great sword hunting technique, the core of which is to forcibly withstand monster attacks, and use itself as a spring to launch a super strong counterattack. That may be able to provide you with a reference."
"Are you talking about 'Raging Dragon's Resentment'?" Gordon became so excited that he almost forgot about this hunting skill.
Back then, the tavern proprietress of Longliyuan, the former master hunter, once severely criticized this hunting technique, thinking that it was a way to die.
In fact it is indeed the case
However, if I could extract some of these force-receiving skills and combine them with precision defense, maybe I could develop some safer and more powerful moves? !
"Thank you for your valuable advice, I will try it later!"
Looking at the excited Gordon, Altman sighed silently.
Sure enough, the great swordsmen are all madmen
ps.
Some readers asked about Feng Ying's height. In fact, Feng Ying's height is considered normal for ordinary people, about 1.6 meters tall.
But among hunters, especially heavy-armed hunters, they are at the bottom.
Altman is about 212 centimeters tall. I imagine that there is an ordinary female high school student standing next to O'Neal.
