"What's wrong? Kid? "
Looking at Fangzheng in front of him, Shi Dong couldn't help but ask curiously. It was no wonder that this Grand Knight would ask such a question. The current Fangzheng gave off a strange feeling. Although Fangzheng was still persevering in his perseverance, he could tell that he was very tired and gave off a feeling as though he hadn't woken up yet.
"It's nothing, Teacher. I just had a nightmare …"
Hearing Shi Dong's question, Fangzheng shook his head helplessly.
In fact, it wasn't as simple as a nightmare.
"Nightmare? Hahaha, I didn't expect you to actually have nightmares … It seems that you still have nightmares. That means that my training isn't strong enough? Come on, cheer up! By the way, what do you mean by that? "
While saying, Shi Dong curiously looked at Fangzheng's waist. At this moment, Fangzheng's waist wasn't only the standard weapon that he usually used during training, but also a short sword.
"Kid, don't tell me you also intend to use dual swords?"
"It's just that I figured out some techniques yesterday."
Hearing Shi Dong's question, Fangzheng revealed a trace of a bitter smile. If it was in the past, he couldn't wait to chat more with Shi Dong. But now, Fangzheng didn't even have the leisure to do so.
"That's why I intend to try."
"Try? Alright, kid. Let me remind you, don't always think about shortcuts. Although the tradition seems to be old-fashioned, there must be a reason for it to be passed down for so many years … Well, then, let me see what you've figured out! "
"Yes, Teacher."
While saying, Fangzheng said, both of his hands grasped one long and one short sword and pulled it out. Then, he stared at Shi Dong closely.
"Hmm?"
However, Shi Dong was taken aback when he saw Fangzheng's actions. He even widened his eyes in surprise.
This kid … What's going on?
It was no wonder that Shi Dong was so surprised. He had trained with Fangzheng for more than ten days, so he had some understanding of this young man. In Shi Dong's opinion, until yesterday, Fangzheng's performance was more or less what he had expected. In fact, from the battle with Fangzheng, Shi Dong had already noticed that this young man's fighting spirit was not bad, but he did not seem to be very good at close combat. Although his ability to grasp the situation of the battle was quite outstanding, in terms of sword fighting, he was no different from a rookie who had just started. This made Shi Dong very curious. He could see that Fangzheng seemed to be better at long-range attacks, but his archery skills made Shi Dong shake his head. As for magic … No matter how he looked at it, this kid didn't look like a mage at all.
But that was until yesterday.
In fact, from the moment he met Fangzheng today, Shi Dong felt that this young man gave him a different feeling. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different. But the moment he saw Fangzheng unsheathing his sword, Shi Dong's eyes suddenly lit up. He finally found out what was wrong with him!
If the Fangzheng from yesterday was just a rookie, then the aura he gave off now was like that of a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles!
In Shi Dong's eyes, at this moment, Fangzheng was holding the sword with both hands, but he didn't maintain a balanced posture. On the contrary, his left shoulder was slightly drooping and his body was slightly bent. This posture didn't look good at all. If it were an ordinary person, they would think that this soldier couldn't even hold the sword properly. But to Shi Dong, this was a jack of all trades posture that could be used to attack and defend. In his eyes, the current Fangzheng was like a taut spring, staring at him all the time. And once Shi Dong attacked, he would either be hurt by the opponent or be dodged by the opponent.
What made Shi Dong secretly surprised was that Fangzheng's posture was very natural and didn't seem to be deliberate at all. It meant that he didn't deliberately think of this posture and forced himself to do it. Instead, this habit had been integrated into his bones! This was a habit that only veterans who fought in mountains of corpses and seas of blood would have. It shouldn't appear on a young man like Fangzheng!
Is this a coincidence? Or …
Thinking until here, Shi Dong's expression turned dignified. He slowly raised the two-handed sword in his hand and stared at Fangzheng. Then, Shi Dong suddenly took a step forward and slashed at Fangzheng with the huge sword in his hand like a thunderbolt!
What surprised Shi Dong was that at the same time, Fangzheng seemed to have anticipated this attack. He rolled to the ground almost at the same time and narrowly avoided Shi Dong's attack. Then, he stood up again and stared at Shi Dong with two swords in his hand.
"Sure enough, you've improved."
Looking at Fangzheng, Shi Dong nodded in satisfaction. He deliberately revealed a flaw in the previous attack. If it was the previous Fangzheng, perhaps he would have already counterattacked. But just now, Fangzheng's reaction was very fast. He dodged and got up in one breath. Most importantly, he successfully restrained his desire to attack. This was the reaction that a qualified warrior should have. Rushing up to fight was something that only a hothead would do. Any qualified warrior had to learn to make a choice. When to attack, when to defend. If one didn't have an accurate judgment, then only death would await them.
"Then, let's try this!"
At this moment, Shi Dong was also interested. He raised the huge sword again and launched an attack at Fangzheng.
As this was only a "training session," be it Shi Dong or Fangzheng, they didn't use any sword techniques that had gorgeous special effects or had the power to annihilate the air. It was just a simple competition of swordsmanship. Under Shi Dong's hands, the huge sword was like a tiger, slashing at Fangzheng from time to time. Fangzheng swayed left and right, relying on rolling over and over again to avoid Shi Dong's attacks.
How interesting!
Shi Dong felt that Fangzheng wasn't simple at all. On the surface, facing his attacks, Fangzheng seemed to be very embarrassed. But only Shi Dong understood that Fangzheng's dodging technique, which didn't look good, was actually very clever. Not only could he avoid the attacks every time, but he could also keep the ability to counterattack at any time.
And more importantly, until now, Fangzheng hadn't counterattacked!
Shi Dong didn't think that this was because Fangzheng put all his attention on dodging because he instinctively felt a faint sense of threat. And more importantly, Fangzheng's left hand had been holding the dagger and hadn't attacked until now. And Shi Dong didn't think that Fangzheng was just pretending to use this dagger.
Swish!
The huge sword pierced forward again, and just as Shi Dong expected, Fangzheng suddenly rolled to the side and dodged the attack. Then, Shi Dong held the huge sword in his right hand, swung it back, and slashed at Fangzheng.
At the same time, Fangzheng suddenly stopped rolling, rushed forward, and swung the dagger in his left hand at Shi Dong's right hand!
Not good!
The moment he saw Fangzheng's action, Shi Dong was shocked. He didn't know what was wrong. But Shi Dong's battle instincts told him that this attack was quite bad!
Unfortunately, Shi Dong didn't have time to change his move. He could only watch as the dagger in Fangzheng's left hand hit the end of his huge sword.
Clang!
Along with the sound of collision, the two swords collided, and then, the huge sword was swung backward. This scene was somewhat unbelievable. But Shi Dong didn't care about this at all. At this moment, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat!
Because Shi Dong was horrified to find that the moment Fangzheng blocked his attack, all the strength in his body seemed to have disappeared, and he couldn't even stand up. It was as if his body didn't belong to him at all, and he directly knelt on the ground! And his right hand naturally couldn't hold the weapon, so it was thrown backward just like that.
At this moment, Shi Dong couldn't even dodge. He could only watch as the long sword in Fangzheng's right hand pierced toward him!
Just as Fangzheng's blade was about to reach Shi Dong's chest, Shi Dong felt that his body had finally returned to his control. At this moment, under the threat of death, Shi Dong didn't hesitate to choose to use [Strength Eruption]!
"BOOM!!"
Roaring gales instantly spurted out with Shi Dong as the center, forming a storm armor around him. Fangzheng didn't expect his opponent to 'cheat' at the last moment, and he was instantly blown away and fell heavily to the ground.
But fortunately, Shi Dong reacted quickly. Looking at Fangzheng who was lying on the ground, he blushed and hurriedly withdrew his strength.
"Teacher, you're too …"
Lying on the ground, Fangzheng looked helplessly at the tall Grand Knight in front of him. Didn't we agree that we were only going to exchange pointers? I finally won against you, and this is how you treat me? Where's the most basic trust between people?
"Cough cough, it's my fault. This time, I lost. I lost."
Sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Shi Dong's face turned slightly red, and he raised his hand to admit defeat. Then, his eyes lit up as he looked at Fangzheng as if he had thought of something. Shi Dong glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, he came to Fangzheng's side, pulled him up, and put his arms around Fangzheng's neck, and whispered in his ear.
