He Yan was thinking seriously in front of the weapon rack beside the high platform in the Martial Arts Practice Field.
She didn't use many knives in the past, so it was really inconvenient. Most of the knives on the weapon rack were willow leaf knives and large ring knives, which weren't very convenient for her. She thought about it again and again, then reached out and picked up a small knife on the lowest shelf.
The recruits who were staring at her movements were all stunned when they saw this.
Those who didn't understand asked, "Why is this knife so small? It's not even as long as a person's arm. "
Jiang Jiao was very knowledgeable. Upon seeing this, he said, "This is a pair of Mandarin Duck Blades. It's not just one blade."
The Mandarin Duck Knives were indeed not big, only as long as a person's forearm. The two knives were sealed in the same scabbard and could be hidden in sleeves or boots. The blade was wide and thick, only a few inches in front of the tip of the knife, making it easy to backhand and block.
He Yan slowly pulled the knives out of the scabbard. One was slightly longer and the other was slightly shorter. Because very few people usually used Mandarin Duck Knives, the knives were actually quite new.
"Not bad," she praised in her heart. She played with it in her hand and felt that it was okay.
Wang Ba also came to the bottom of the platform and saw the Mandarin Duck Knives in He Yan's hand. He was stunned for a moment and said, "He actually uses Mandarin Duck Knives?"
Huang Xiong on the platform was also puzzled. He saw He Yan pick the knives again and again. After picking this one, he looked at He Yan differently and asked, "Double knives?"
He Yan nodded. "Double knives."
"I didn't expect you to know how to use double knives at such a young age." Huang Xiong said, "You really know everything!"
He Yan answered humbly, "It's all forced by life."
The people below didn't feel good when they heard this. Du Mao reached out and touched Liang Ping. "What does He Yan's family do? Forced by life, how can he be proficient in all 18 kinds of martial arts? Was he kidnapped when he was young and became a street performer? "
"You're asking me, but who should I ask?" Liang Ping said angrily. He even knew how to use Mandarin Duck Knives. Who would use Mandarin Duck Knives in a decent family? Most Mandarin Duck Knives were used by the underworld!
What kind of person was this?!
Without another word, Huang Xiong slowly drew his long saber from its scabbard and nodded slightly at He Yan. "Brother He, please enlighten me."
He Yan thought to himself, How could it be "Little Brother"? Even if she was nineteen years old in her previous life, she should still call Huang Xiong "Uncle". Now, Cheng Lisu called him Big Brother. If he followed Cheng Lisu, he should call Xiao Jue Uncle. Now, he called Xiao Jue Uncle, but Huang Xiong Big Brother?
Huang Xiong was old enough to be a Xiao Jue's father!
As she was thinking this, Xiao Mai below the stage cried out, "A He Ge, be careful!" Then she saw Huang Xiong rushing over with a knife.
The golden-backed broadsword was wielded vigorously by this big man. He tilted the tip of the sword to the left and slightly shifted his right foot. He turned around and slashed at He Yan.
He Yan was startled. She crouched down to avoid the attack and used the back of her saber to push the tip of the opponent's saber away. With the kite saber in front and the Mandarin Duck Knife behind, she also closed in on Huang Xiong.
Huang Xiong's brute strength was great. With a heavy swing, he knocked away He Yan's saber. He Yan aimed at him and threw her saber. Huang Xiong tilted his head to avoid it. He Yan flipped over and raised her head to catch the throwing saber. The two of them retreated a few steps and were in a deadlock. They stared at each other.
Huang Xiong was not Jiang Jiao. After all, Jiang Jiao was still young. Huang Xiong's saber had been with him for thirty years. The man and the saber had already formed an excellent tacit understanding. When they fought, He Yan had already experienced that this man's skill was above hers.
He Yan had to end the fight quickly. Otherwise, she would be slapping her own face. He Yan calculated in her heart.
Huang Xiong's heart was also in turmoil. For so many years, he had fought with thousands of people. Some were good, some were bad. But this youngster was so young. Just now, he threw and caught the saber smoothly and smoothly. How did he do it? Did he start using a saber when he was three years old?
He Yan thought that Huang Xiong was tall and sturdy. His saber technique was fierce but clumsy. He lost because he was not nimble enough. It seemed that her choice of the Mandarin Duck Knife was just right. This way, she could defeat him in terms of 'speed'.
Her eyes moved slightly. "Continue!" she shouted and stepped forward to meet him.
Huang Xiong held the saber in his right hand. He took a diagonal step to the left and thrust his saber straight at He Yan.
He Yan's Mandarin Duck Knife stabbed forward and clashed with him. Although she looked thin and small, her strength was not weak. The two sabers stuck together, but He Yan still had another saber. She twirled the other saber, bent her elbow and raised the back of the saber above her head. She stabbed at Huang Xiong.
Huang Xiong could not dodge in time. A corner of his clothes was cut off. In a split second, the audience in the martial arts arena cried out in alarm.
From this moment on, everyone discovered that He Yan's movements began to become faster.
Her footwork was extremely nimble. One saber went to entangle Huang Xiong's Golden Broadsword. The other saber was like a snake waiting for an opportunity to strike. Although Huang Xiong was not stabbed by her, he could no longer gain an advantage. The single saber was fierce, the double sabers were nimble. Using softness to overcome hardness, the weak to overcome the strong.
"You just asked me to teach you. I just remembered that our double sabers have a song formula." Unexpectedly, she still had time to talk. "I'll read it to you."
Huang Xiong stared blankly. She took advantage of the opportunity to throw her sharp saber at him again.
"The north wind in June gives birth to two arms. Using both left and right as one." She held a long saber in each hand. Her posture was elegant.
"Two arms intertwined before my eyes. Later than Yu Yang obtaining the Lone Sword." The long sabers danced, making it difficult for people to see the youth's expression. They could only hear his laughter.
"Using one hand alone, swift as lightning. Only the position of the clapper has been learned." She pressed forward step by step, but did not panic.
"Only knowing that the former saber is not enough, using both left and right is trivial." The saber swept toward Huang Xiong's neck. Huang Xiong narrowly avoided it.
"Using the sword today, using the right saber. Obtaining the position of the clapper, using the left." One left, one right. She used them skillfully and freely. He only felt that the saber was her hand. Her hand was like the blade.
On the martial arts arena, she was chanting and dancing. Corresponding to her neither fast nor slow voice, her movements were as fast as lightning.
The clashing of sabers and sabers made a clanging sound. It made people's hearts clench.
When Cheng Lisu and the others came over, they saw this scene.
"Uncle, look, I told you, my big brother will win!" He shouted excitedly.
His shout attracted the attention of the people around him. Someone recognized Xiao Jue and immediately shouted excitedly, "It's Commander in Chief, Military Governor Xiao. General Fengyun has come to the martial arts arena!"
General Fengyun?
With that said, the recruits' eyes were instantly attracted to Xiao Jue. The noise spread to the martial arts arena. He Yan's ears twitched. Xiao Jue?
She turned her head to look. Sure enough, not far from the martial arts arena, standing next to Shen Han and Cheng Lisu was Xiao Jue.
The youth was wearing a dark blue robe embroidered with red-crowned cranes. He had a graceful bearing and a picturesque face. He did not look like a picture scroll with the recruits who filled the martial arts arena. This side was rough and deep, while his side was bright and clear. He Yan could not see his expression clearly because they were too far apart. Presumably, he also had an indifferent and aloof appearance.
She did not expect that Xiao Jue would personally come to watch her compete. Did this mean that her performance yesterday had finally reached the ears of the people who should have heard of it? Did Xiao Jue notice that she was such an outstanding talent?
"Big brother, be careful!" While she was thinking, she heard Cheng Lisu's exclamation. She looked up and saw that the golden saber was already in front of her.
