What the hell!
He scratched his ears in disbelief. Why did he use the fiercest aura to say the most cowardly words?!
No, is there something wrong with your plot?
"Uh —"
Huai Shi was embarrassed for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you … here to challenge?"
"Upholding etiquette is part of the Holy Church's dogma."
Aleksey coughed and looked at the trainer seriously. "Pay attention to your image, Student Anton."
"Ahem, this … Generally, when an expert comes, everyone will look at the person and act accordingly."
Anton's gaze suddenly drifted. "If it's an arrogant person, everyone will generally recommend a person who is more resistant to a beating to provoke him, and then kneel down and admit defeat before the other party gets serious. After satisfying the other party's desire to win, they can take the opportunity to ask for guidance.
Uh, ahem, everyone says that Mr. Huai Shi is easy to approach. As long as you ask him directly, he will definitely not refuse. "
The 'everyone' you are talking about, is it Father Aleksey who you always secretly glance at beside me?
Huai Shi looked to the side.
Aleksey became more and more embarrassed. After coughing twice, he said embarrassedly, "It's a rare opportunity. Young people always don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. It's rare for you to come and give them tutoring lessons."
"… Okay."
The corner of Huai Shi's eyes twitched twice, and he nodded helplessly.
Who said that the people of the Russian Federation were stupid and crude? Why did they have so many tricks up their sleeves …?
"Then, can you give them some guidance?" Aleksey's smile became more and more enthusiastic.
"This, how do I guide them?"
Huai Shi scratched his head.
A public lesson on the traditional beheading method of the Slavic greatsword?
"It's okay, just give them some guidance." Aleksey turned around and glared at Anton. "Hurry up and get ready!"
Immediately, the group of strong men nodded excitedly and cleared the center of the arena in an instant.
When they heard that the Disaster Sword was coming to give guidance, countless people ran out of the underground training ground like magic. In an instant, it was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Some people excitedly took out their mobile phones and began to take pictures.
Suddenly, they had the illusion of holding an album release?
Huai Shi scratched his head.
After taking off his shoes, he walked up to the central ring.
When it came to giving pointers, it was actually still a fight. However, one had to be able to help others grow and improve. Thus, one couldn't instantly defeat them. Instead, the most important thing was one's control.
He had to control himself so that he wouldn't defeat his opponent in an instant. At the same time, he had to control his opponent so that he would realize his own shortcomings.
Since that was the case, he couldn't use Origin Substances. Otherwise, he would be bullying a child.
When Aleksey handed over a Slavic broadsword and protective gear for teaching, Huai Shi felt helpless.
"I'm not good at these things. They really don't belong in the category of teaching …"
The size of a weapon, the change in its center of gravity, and the shape of the weapon would affect its performance and use. For example, a rapier might be useful in a duel, but it could not be used against an opponent with armor. A spear might be useful in every battle, but it would be at a disadvantage against a sword and shield.
Regions, schools, and even the user's height, weight, and strength. These different conditions caused countless differences.
The size of the Sword of Virtue belonged to the category of a hand and a half sword. Huai Shi had never studied this kind of heavy weapon before. If he really wanted to use it, he would use a sledgehammer.
Knights of the Holy Church relied on this to make a living. They didn't need him to teach them.
Fortunately, although the weapons and armor in the world varied greatly, after discarding the strange physical modifications, everyone basically only had two legs, two arms, and two fists.
Although there were many schools of bare-handed combat, they all followed the same principle.
"How about this, I'll demonstrate how to fight bare-handed with a large sword and equipment."
After Huai Shi rejected the equipment that Aleksey offered, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Change them to iron. It'll be more suitable for real combat."
Aleksey was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Indeed, that's better."
Right in front of him, Huai Shi raised his five fingers and chopped down slightly.
The low and deep sound of something breaking through the air suddenly burst forth in the noisy training ground. The whistling sound reverberated in everyone's ears, immediately causing those excited expressions to turn solemn. Feeling the power contained within the sound, they all gasped in amazement.
Even if the Sword of Calamity was known for being proficient in hundreds of weapons in the legends and records, it was now able to exert such terrifying power with bare hands.
In terms of lethality, it was not inferior to any famous sword that had been tempered thousands of times!
Soon, the first lucky person had already walked up from below the stage.
It was Anton, who had just walked up.
He hugged his helmet, and his face was bruised and swollen. It was obvious that he had fought with his companions for this position.
"Please give me some pointers."
He put on the heavy helmet and raised his weapon, eager to try. He didn't notice the pitiful look of his instructor, Aleksey, at the side of the field.
Silly child, you still don't know that you've become a teaching tool …
All of you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you really think that you can compete with your opponent on the same stage?
'Dream on!'
Bang!
The moment Anton roared and rushed up, a low muffled sound burst out before he could finish his sentence.
His entire body seemed to have been flipped over by a huge force. Together with the armor on his body, he slammed hard on the plastic floor mat. Only the broadsword that had been released from his hand flew in the air. Huai Shi casually caught it and held it upside down. The ball of weight at the end of the broadsword touched the back of Anton's head and retracted it.
Bang.
There was a soft sound.
The winner was decided.
Even if it was a child, with a broadsword as heavy as a sledgehammer, smashing it at the back of Anton's head would make him lie down on the spot.
The threat of a blunt weapon against an armored opponent was obvious.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Huai Shi lowered his head and asked. Anton looked confused, and the exclamations of the people around him were brewing in their throats. The scene was dead silent. Except for a few sharp-eyed people, no one saw the details just now.
"Then, let's do it again. This time, I'll slow down."
Huai Shi stretched out her hand and casually pulled Anton up from the ground, sending him back to his original position. She then explained to the people around her, "Against an opponent wearing armor, normal attacks will not be able to do any damage. Furthermore, the steel structure of the armor also means that joint attacks will not be able to do anything.
Similarly, with the protection of the steel neck guard and key parts, twisting skills are also useless. Of course, if you have enough strength to twist steel, then it's a different story. But in this case, there's no skill to speak of.
So, who can tell me, what are the remaining options now? "
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly understood. "Ground skills?"
"You guessed it a little –"
Huai Shi smiled, causing Anton, who was about to charge again, to suddenly feel a chill in his heart. But when he subconsciously wanted to defend himself, he saw Huai Shi move slightly to the side and take a step forward, approaching him.
He casually pressed down on his shoulder and pulled him back. At the same time, he inserted his right leg between his legs and easily broke his balance.
In an instant, the sky and earth spun, and the muffled sound from before reappeared.
The whole ground came crashing down again.
Anton's vision turned black, and he almost couldn't get up.
"Strictly speaking, this should be a tripping technique, right?"
Huai Shi reached out and pressed on his back, preventing him from getting up again. He slowly explained, "The demonstration just now wasn't typical. You don't have to deliberately learn it, just refer to this idea.
This isn't a jack of all trades move. When the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, I'm afraid that the opponent will only break your leg. Only when the difference in strength between the two sides isn't too great, then there's a possibility of making up for your own weakness. "
He reached out and helped Anton up again.
"Let's continue –"
Anton stood in the same place, panting for a long time before he finally recovered.
This time, he didn't dare to charge forward like last time. Instead, he was cautious and slow, closing the distance step by step.
"If that's the case, the enemy would have run away long ago."
Huai Shi shook his head and smiled, but Anton was unmoved. He approached step by step, every step was steady, without any negligence or flaw. He was focused on maintaining a defensive posture.
"You can't not attack, right?"
Huai Shi looked at him calmly and slowly raised his hand, aiming at his face behind the mask. "Then I'm going to attack."
The moment Huai Shi clenched his fist, a great chill emerged from Anton's heart, making him tremble. He instinctively slashed his sword at Huai Shi who was two steps away.
"Idiot." Aleksey shook his head and sighed.
At that moment, Anton expected to smash his iron helmet and smash his head into pieces, but the fist didn't hit him.
Instead, he opened his five fingers, and as Huai Shi stepped forward, he easily dodged the sharp edge of the sword. Then, he put one hand on the armor on his arm, and then the other hand pressed down on his shoulder.
He pulled forward!
Originally, he could have used a more violent and destructive shoulder throw to achieve the same effect, but considering the physical limitations of the others, Huai Shi paused for a moment and changed to the current method.
Thus, in this long silence, there was only a muffled sound that burst forth again.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Huai Shi pressed down on Anton's back, hiding it from the students who were sitting on the ground. "The key is to stay calm, don't panic, look for opportunities to break the opponent's balance, and fight for an opportunity to create an effective attack or escape — like this, or this, or whatever.
The armor's protection is also a restriction. When the opponent loses the ability to fight back, the battle is already over. "
Following his words, Huai Shi raised his hand and pressed down, causing a five-fingered imprint to appear on Anton's helmet.
Then, his hand chopped down, easily tearing apart the joints on the heavy armor, causing the armors on both arms to fall off.
His hands were like phantoms, making it hard to see clearly. They were so gentle that there wasn't even a sound.
When Huai Shi's palm swept down from top to bottom, the armor on the ground had already disintegrated inch by inch. The sound of steel breaking rang out continuously. In the end, only Anton was left gasping for breath.
Huai Shi, on the other hand, stood up calmly as if he had just bent down to peel a green onion. He patted Anton's shoulder and encouraged him to work hard, then raised his head and said,
"Next."
