Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 12: Meyer Swordsmanship
On the train, Qi Ji used his mobile phone to search for information about Meyer's swordsmanship.
Liu Xing, who was standing next to him, took a peek and couldn't help but say, "Qi Shen, this is a bit insulting!"
"Hmm?" Qi Ji glanced at him. "What do you mean?"
Liu Xing pointed at himself and said, "Although I can't beat you, I am still a professional Meyer swordsman. You might as well ask me instead of searching online."
That makes some sense.
Qi Ji put down his phone: "Then let me ask you, do you have such moves in your Meyer swordsmanship?" He described to Liu Xing some of the moves that the giant swordsman used to kill him unexpectedly.
After listening to him, Liu Xing answered immediately: "Split strike, glancing strike, furious strike, cross strike, curved strike... Qi Shen, all the moves you mentioned are the core of Meyer's swordsmanship - the master's strike."
"Oh? Tell me in detail!" Qi Ji didn't expect that Liu Xing actually understood it, and he immediately became interested.
Therefore, from the time the train departed to the time it stopped at the station, Liu Xing had a long science lecture with Qi Ji in bits and pieces. After Qi Ji grasped the key points, he integrated and sorted out the following conclusions.
Meyer swordsmanship is the mainstream two-handed swordsmanship in Nordic countries such as the Sith Kingdom. It originated from the Richard system swordsmanship compiled by the famous swordsman "Richard" in the Middle Ages in that region.
The biggest difference between this swordsmanship system and ordinary swordsmanship systems is its concept of attacking instead of defending, which in layman's terms means "attacking at the same time as the opponent."
In this technique, the user uses the strong blade to catch the opponent's weak blade at the same time as the opponent attacks, uses the cross guard to block the opponent's blade from sliding to protect themselves, and attacks the opponent with the weak blade.
Relying on such techniques, combined with the length of the weapon, when the user of this system fights with others, if the opponent uses a change of moves or a feint, he will be "defeated by the real" and directly stabbed or hacked to death. If the opponent really hacks or stabs, the moves of this school of swordsmanship exist to parry the opponent and counterattack at the same time, so he will not be at a disadvantage.
Meyer's swordsmanship is the culmination of this style of swordsmanship.
Qi Ji gave a simple evaluation of this sword technique - it combines attack and defense, and is not afraid of double kills. This is a "technique of the strong."
When a person's physical fitness, skills, and reaction speed are not inferior to others, using Meyer swordsmanship can make him invincible.
This was the case with the giant swordsman in the tower. No matter how complicated Qi Ji's moves were or how many times he adjusted his attack routes, the giant swordsman would only give the simplest response, and then seek to kill through a second move when the weapons collided.
It’s a bit difficult, Qi Ji scratched his head.
"Qi Shen, why are you suddenly so interested in two-handed swordsmanship?" Liu Xing asked curiously while Qi Ji was thinking. "Does that mean you have decided to give up the fancy Da Xia swords and turn to our Mei Sect?"
"Not really." Qi Ji made up an excuse: "Didn't Master Zhang sign me up for the rookie competition? I searched and found that many opponents use two-handed swordsmanship, so I wanted to learn about this popular faction in advance."
Liu Xing was a little proud: "Qi Shen, you are right. The largest martial arts school in the world today is the two-handed sword school. Almost half of the martial arts fighters major in Meyer swordsmanship."
While the two were talking, the train had already arrived at the station.
As the arrival announcement sounded, Qi Ji followed Liu Xing out of the train station and boarded an online taxi to Chengping City Two-Handed Sword Professional Club.
…
Chengping City Nordic Traditional Martial Arts Club.
Qi Ji looked up at the name of the club and found it very interesting. It turned out that there was also the concept of traditional martial arts in Northern Europe. Isn't this club specialized in two-handed swords?
Before he could comment, Qi Ji was led by Liu Xing into the club.
Although the decoration of this club is not as good as that of large national chain clubs like Zangfeng, it is also quite good. However, perhaps because it is a weekday, there are not many adult students in the venue at present. Instead, there are quite a lot of young boys and girls who come here for training during the summer vacation.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Xing waving in a certain direction and calling out loudly: "Big Li! This way!"
Qi Ji looked in the direction where Liu Xing was waving. Over there was a tall young man. As Liu Xing called him, this young man did have a head that was larger than that of an ordinary person.
In front of Li Datou stood several young boys and girls who were trying hard to swing two-handed swords. He had a serious expression on his face, as if he was teaching them.
Hearing Liu Xing's shout, Li Datou looked up, just in time to see Liu Xing waving at him. A look of joy first appeared on his face, then it darkened again. This bastard called him by his nickname again.
He had no choice but to walk past them while his students were trying to hold back their laughter. "You stupid idiot Liu Xing, I really fooled your brother! With your level, you still have the nerve to come back ?"
Liu Xing's face froze, and he gave a wry smile: "Military attack is a talent-based thing. It's not entirely my fault that I can't get promoted, right? The headmaster won't blame me."
"You can just lie to yourself." Li Datou said with disdain: "As long as you are a normal person and practice seriously for three to five years, it will not be a problem to specialize in the third level. You were already a special person when you left here three years ago. After three years, you haven't improved at all. It's up to you whether the head coach will lay you off or not!"
Liu Xing felt even more embarrassed, and even regretted bringing Qi Ji here in person - he was really afraid that he would be beaten up by the head coach.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't talk about so much nonsense. Where is the head teacher? Today, my brother is mainly looking for him."
Li Datou had already noticed the tall and handsome young man next to Liu Xing. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you from the same industry as this handsome guy?" Although it was a question, his expression was very firm.
Liu Xing nodded, with a smug look on his face: "The genius specially recruited by Zhang Qiduan, the ace newcomer of Cangfeng, Qi Ji."
"Wow!" Li Datou looked at Qi Ji in surprise, then nodded and walked towards the office. "I'll go call Master Zhao, you guys wait a moment."
A few minutes later, a tall middle-aged man who looked a few years older than Zhang Zizai walked out quickly following Li Datou.
Before he even got close, the middle-aged man started yelling, "Liu Xing, you son of a bitch, how dare you come back?"
Qi Ji glanced at Liu Xing and found that this guy was really hesitant and wanted to leave first.
"Boss Zhao, please let me go!" Liu Xing said as he hid behind Qi Ji and pushed Qi Ji slightly forward. He changed the subject and said, "This is Qi Ji, Zhang Qiduan's treasure, a genius swordsman, who came to ask Boss Zhao for advice!"
Before Qi Ji could say anything, Liu Xing told him the whole situation.
Seeing that Master Zhao was not going to give up, Liu Xing quickly threw out some important information: "He has only been practicing swordplay for ten days. Yesterday, he defeated our club's coach Huang Zhengming. Although Coach Huang is only a professional third-dan, he will basically be promoted to the fourth-dan within this year!"
All I can say is that he still has some bottom line, as he didn't even mention Qi Ji's fifth-level level.
