In Kirst Royal Academy, everyone present was an expert who had transitioned to become a Knight five years and above.
A senior female instructor looked at the seven students on the field who were diligently cultivating. She nodded slowly.
If one were to take a closer look at these students, they would discover that each of their movements were extremely slow. Each thrust, each slash, and each block were as slow as an ordinary person's sword dance. After each movement was completed, they would stop and think about it carefully, revealing a contemplative expression on their faces before continuing with the next move.
Although their movements were extremely slow, as the sword danced, their muscles and longswords collided and compressed the air, creating loud explosive sounds, displaying great power.
The female instructor nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right. Regardless of whether it's the Nurturing, Training, Amassing, or Killing techniques, at the start, the focus is on the standard of the movements and the correct circulation of the force. You have to practice repeatedly to increase your proficiency and temper your attributes.
"But at your level, you've more or less met with your own bottlenecks. At this point, you'll need to slow down, slowly practice each move, experience it, and then think about the flaws and omissions.
"Remember, martial arts are not forged through hard work, but through thinking.
"Those wild beasts in Garcia only know how to push themselves to their limits and temper their bodies, but they don't understand the laws of the world and don't know how to think about the profoundness of the human body. Therefore, the highest level they can reach in their lifetime is only the second transition level 20. Even at the same level, they are far from the Empire's Knights.
"Therefore, all the more you mustn't be like those wild beasts who only know how to act according to their instincts.
"You must learn to think. Thinking is the most important thing in martial arts. If you don't know how to think and only know how to train hard, you'll never be able to become an expert in your lifetime."
Hearing her words, everyone present nodded in agreement and began to think even harder, carefully appreciating their own moves, as well as the flaws and weaknesses in their cultivation.
Hylong was one of them. As one of the oldest students in the academy, he was also one of the strongest students in this sword techniques class.
Four arms grew out from his back, each holding a longsword. It was the ability of the Six Armed Asura, and it was obvious that he was in the same occupation as Kaunitz.
His six arms were performing sword techniques at the same time, but each of them was performing the same set of Nurturing techniques. It was just that the way they were performed was slightly different. He was slowly trying to understand the differences, trying to find the most suitable way to exert force in this set of Nurturing techniques.
'As expected, the bones are straight and the energy flows to the ends. This is the true training method for this Six Armed Divine Sword. With this, I'll only need to cultivate for half an hour a day to complete the increment in my Nurturing technique's potential.'
There was a limit to how much potential each set of Nurturing sword technique could increase every day. Therefore, even second transition Knights would constantly ponder over how to improve the effectiveness of their training and how to shorten the time required.
Moreover, the layers of moves in the Nurturing technique were the basic moves of the sword techniques, and were the foundation of the other sword techniques.
After studying this set of Six-Armed Divine Sword for half a month, Hylong had finally reached a higher level today. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Just then, the female instructor clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention. She shouted, "There's still three and a half months to the Regional Selection. All of you are senior students in the school, and all of you have hopes of participating in the Regional Selection. "In the Regional Selection, other than the Pantheon Monument Observation, which tests a person's talent and potential, the most important thing is the various arenas and hunting battles. All of these require extremely powerful Killing techniques. "From today onwards, we'll be having actual combat every day. Same rules. I'll be sparring with Dorze, and the rest of you can find your own opponents."
For sword techniques classes like theirs, which were held every day, and of course, the students were all old acquaintances, they would usually find people who were about the same level as them for actual combat training.
Of course, such training was not for a life and death battle, nor was it for sparring with instructors who were much stronger than them. That way, the instructors would be able to control the entire battle, and it would not be easy for them to get injured.
Therefore, in order to reduce the number of casualties, the students would all switch to wooden swords for training.
Hylong had also switched to six wooden swords. He walked up to one of the higher year students and shouted, "Link, come! I'll let you have a taste of my prowess today."
That student by the name of Link smiled, and his back suddenly bulged up. He was also a Six Armed Asura.
There was no other way about it. The academy only provided a total of seventeen different jobs. Therefore, in a class of similar years and with the same martial techniques, it was too easy to find an opponent of the same job.
Hylong looked at this student by the name of Link, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile. The other party was one year younger than him, and his martial techniques were also slightly weaker than Hylong's. Yet, the other party cultivated the same job as him.
Therefore, Hylong especially liked to have actual combat with his opponents. He could win against them, increase his actual combat experience, and also find out where he was lacking in comparison.
However, this time around, Link revealed a confident gaze. When he saw Hylong, he shouted, "Be careful, I'm coming."
The next moment, his six arms and six swords stretched out, bringing with them gravity waves, high temperature, low temperature, electric currents, venom, and illusions to attack Hylong.
The six swords attacked simultaneously, each with different types of sword techniques and extraordinary powers. It was as if there were six Links attacking at the same time.
Clearly, this was a Killing technique that was very suitable for the Six Armed Asura.
Seeing this scene, Hylong smiled. He had seen the other party's Killing technique too many times, and he could even fight against it with his eyes closed. Therefore, he also slashed out with his six arms, and the next moment, over a hundred sword shadows swept out towards Link.
Hylong's Phantom Sword Technique was a combination of Waves and sword techniques, which could turn the sword shadows into real existences. When trained to a high level, it could be said that there were a thousand shadows with one sword, and the attacks would be like an endless river.
In the past, he had always relied on this set of sword technique to defeat his opponents. However, this time around, when he used the Phantom Sword Technique, it was easily fended off by Link.
After over twenty moves, the other party seemed to have completely seen through his moves. The six longswords moved back and forth, breaking through all of his Phantom Sword Technique's moves. It was as if each sword attack was aimed at his weak points.
After fifty moves, Hylong's countenance changed drastically. He was already at his wits' end and would not be able to fend off the other party.
At the sixty-second move, bang bang bang bang, six consecutive sounds rang out, and the six wooden swords in Hylong's hands were all sent flying. He looked at Link with a pale countenance and shouted, "What's going on? Why … Why have you become so powerful in just a few days? "
Link laughed, "Why? Didn't you attend Fang Xingjian's classes? I've demonstrated your Phantom Sword Technique a few times in front of Fang Xingjian and he has pointed out a total of eighteen major flaws and fifty-four minor flaws. Right now, I know all of these flaws like the back of my hand. "
Hylong's body swayed fiercely as he shouted, "Impossible! How can there be so many flaws in my sword technique?! I don't believe it! "
Seeing the crowd looking at him, Hylong's face turned red and he left in a hurry.
