Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 33 Swift Sword
Qi Ji's opponent Jiang Han also walked onto the stage at the same time as him.
Qi Ji looked at the weapon in the other party's hand. It was a swift sword shaped like a rapier used in fencing competitions. This type of weapon is a large category of Nordic striking weapons.
This kind of sword has a slender blade and a complex and gorgeous guard, which can protect the hand well while attacking. At the same time, most of these swords have blades on both sides, and theoretically they can also be used for chopping, but from the shape of the weapon, it is obvious that its main attack method must be stabbing.
It is said that the main weapon of the Nordic swordsman Oz is the swift sword. It is also said that in his youth he wore a mask and traveled around Nordic countries with a swift sword in his hand, doing justice and fighting hundreds of duels, big and small, without ever losing. This experience has been embellished by various rumors, forming a variety of ranger stories.
That's going too far.
Qi Ji and Jiang Han saluted each other, and then took up their own enemy stances.
Jiang Han assumed the first of the four common stances used by the Swift Sword, lowered his body with a backward bow step, raised his right hand holding the sword in front of his head, and pointed the tip of the sword at Qi Ji. Then he asked seriously, "After this, you still plan to fight me one-handed?"
Jiang Han’s meaning was very clear—he was not in the same league as the previous small-time players.
Qi Ji turned sideways, holding the knife with one hand, and smiled softly, "Try it first. If you can't stand it, I will switch back to using both hands."
Jiang Han choked, and the sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger.
As soon as the referee gave the order to start the game, Jiang Han rushed to Qi Ji impatiently.
His body was like a compressed slingshot. He shrank slightly at first, then took a step forward with an elegant posture, and thrust the sword in his hand quickly towards Qi Ji's chest.
As mentioned before, two-handed weapons are often faster than one-handed weapons, but this rule does not apply to the Swift Sword.
As a specialized weapon for street duels that was once popular in Northern Europe, the swift sword is as heavy as an ordinary sword, but its blade is slender and light, and the center of gravity is almost concentrated on the guard, making it extremely flexible to use.
In addition, one hand can stretch the body and borrow some distance, so the attack distance is longer.
A combination of factors make the Swift Sword a weapon as fast as its name suggests.
At the same level, normal players often have a headache facing Swift Sword players, and feel like they are "fighting a gun with a single sword".
But Qi Ji didn't have such a feeling. At least the opponent in front of him didn't seem difficult for him.
Under the suppression of the fifth stage over the fourth stage, the swift sword with a monotonous attack method is too straightforward and simple.
Even if the opponent's sword is as fast as the wind, it will be useless if you can't hit him.
Qi Ji did not draw his sword to block, but slightly turned sideways to avoid the opponent's stab, and the sword tip stabbed in the air close to his left side.
The opponent was not discouraged, and launched more than ten consecutive attacks in an instant with anger.
Qi Ji faced it calmly. He dodged most of the attacks lightly, and those that were too extreme were easily deflected by him raising his knife.
Although Qi Ji knew that he was very calm, the actual scene looked very thrilling to the audience. Qi Ji was like a small boat in a storm, and it seemed that he would be hit and lose points at any time.
Gradually, some viewers became disappointed with Qi Ji.
That’s it?
In the first two games, he used his flying weapons to kill opponents instantly, but when he met the real seeded players, he was completely defeated.
Dissatisfied voices of complaint gradually began to emerge from all over the audience seats, but before they had time to spread, the situation in the venue suddenly changed.
Jiang Han's continuous attacks were ineffective, and his gradually accumulated frustration reached its peak. Suddenly, he changed the momentum of his sword and planned to use more sword moves to attack Qi Ji.
He quickly retracted his attack, turned his wrist, and was about to launch a straight or side slash.
At this moment, Qi Ji suddenly changed his previous passive posture, rushed forward in an instant, and slashed heavily on the guard of the swift sword in Jiang Han's hand!
This is the center of gravity of a weapon like the Swift Sword!
clang!
Jiang Han was shocked to feel the huge force transmitted from his tiger's mouth, which made him unable to hold the swift sword in his hand anymore!
With a loud bang, Jiang Han's swift sword flew out of his hand and fell to the ground. The sword body was even bent by Qi Ji's straight knife.
The next moment, in front of Jiang Han's horrified eyes, Qi Ji's blade turned around and lightly hit his helmet.
"Shoot down the weapon! 4 points!"
"Hit the head! 6 points!"
"10 points in total! Congratulations to contestant Qi Ji for advancing!"
When the referee announced the result, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Qi Ji took off his helmet, smiled slightly, and said to Jiang Han: "If you keep using stabbing, it will be difficult for me to hit the center of gravity of your weapon. Thank you for letting me."
It's a typical case of killing someone and destroying their heart. I hope our little Jiang can withstand it.
Under Jiang Han's dull gaze behind him, Qi Ji turned around, waved to the audience, and left the stage with a smile.
In the stands, the audience cheered wildly for Qi Ji, and many light signs that had been put down due to disappointment were waved quickly again.
Although Qi Ji was an outsider before, he was young once and was a passionate college student. He fully understands what kind of contestant the audience wants to see, that is - a contestant who always wins.
In sports competitions, being bad is the original sin. As long as Qi Ji can keep winning, these audiences will always be his loyal fans.
No longer obsessed with the competition, Qi Ji now has more important things to do.
After going down to the stage, Qi Ji found Zhang Zizai and asked him for help with something he had wanted in the morning.
"Let me find you two fifth-level masters of the Embroidered Spring Sword?" Zhang Zizai felt a little confused when he heard Qi Ji's request.
"Yes." Qi Ji nodded gently: "I want to hire two Xiu Chun Dao masters, or it doesn't matter if it's not Xiu Chun Dao, find two fifth-level sword masters, and then have a one-on-two sparring session."
Zhang Zizai frowned: "Why do you have this idea?"
Then he continued, "It's easy to find two fifth-degree swordsmanship masters, but I don't understand why you want a one-on-two sparring method. No official competition in the world would require a single player to fight two."
"Lao Zhang, please help me find it. I want to train my reaction and stress resistance in this way." Qi Ji was too lazy to think of other excuses. As long as it made sense, it would be fine.
Zhang Zizai thought about it and felt that this was probably the genius' unique method of self-training.
So he stopped struggling and readily agreed to Qi Ji's request: "Okay, I'll call the headquarters right away to arrange it for you. When do you want to train?"
Look, as long as someone is a genius, there will always be people who will come up with all kinds of reasons for him to do things.
Qi Ji chuckled: "I will practice like this for one to two hours every night from now on. Thank you, Lao Zhang!"
Zhang Zizai frowned again: "The intensity is too high. If you train like this, it will affect your condition for the next competition!"
"It's okay, Lao Zhang, I'm as strong as a bull, how can you not believe me?" Qi Ji replied.
Finally, under Qi Ji's persistence, Zhang Zizai agreed, but he had only one request - not to get hurt.
