Chapter 875 Can the Great Sword Be Used as a GP?

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Feng Ying's eyes sparkled, "My body size doesn't matter?"

"." Altman looked down at Feng Ying.

Whether it was the hunter apprentices in the training camp or the graduates who had graduated many years ago, they were all afraid of him, and no one dared to talk to him like that.

It was a bit fresh.

"It's not us defenders who are best at accurate defense, but the sword users." Altman glanced at Hayata who was carrying the big sword, and continued:

"The sword is a weapon derived from the great sword. The thin and slender sword body cannot be used for blocking, and the heavy weight makes the sword users not as flexible as other light weapon swordsmen.

This made the sword exist only as a derivative of the great sword a long time ago (the first generation)."

"Huh? Is that the case?" Feng Ying was surprised.

"Later, the emergence of Qi Refining and Qi Blade Slash made the katana an independent type of weapon. For a very long time after that, the katana was used as a purely offensive weapon.

This can be clearly seen from the older generation of katana users, such as Master Puxian of your Yanhuo Village. With a katana in hand, it seems that there is nothing in the world that he cannot cut."

Hearing this, several people present could not help but recall the scene of Master Puxian swinging his sword to cut through the lightning.

"In recent decades, katana sword skills have once again undergone earth-shaking changes. The emergence and popularization of the concept of precise defense has made the katana one of the most powerful types of weapons.

Miss Hayata should be very clear about this. Your master, Amos, has the name of 'Swift Sword' because he is particularly good at seeing and Iai, and is famous for it.

As his disciple, you must also be proficient in this way."

Hayata smiled when she heard this. She did not need to be modest on this point.

Gordon scratched his chin and thought to himself that it was no wonder.

Hayata started to practice on her own when she was a two-star hunter. At that time, Amos had already taught her the techniques of Mikiri and Iai.

By the time she became a three-star hunter, she was already very skilled in using these techniques.

Otherwise, with her red blade fanaticism at the time, she would have been killed by the monster long ago.

These two moves may seem ordinary, but in fact, they require quite high sword skills and reaction speed.

Ordinary swordsmen rarely master these two moves at such an early age. Even if they do, they are mostly used to deal with emergencies rather than frequently.

Hayata's fighting style of using Mikiri Iai to jump back and forth between the claws of monsters was inherited from her master Amos.

"That's a little off topic." Altman turned his gaze back to Feng Ying, "I said this to tell you that the concept of precision defense may not have been invented by the katana users, but it was indeed promoted by them.

There are also petite katana users, and Miss Hayata is not a strong physique either, so you don't need to worry about the body shape."

Hayata nodded and said, "Indeed, as Mr. Altman said, precision defense moves, body shape and absolute Strength is not the key. In addition to explosive power, the most important thing is the judgment of timing and angle.

However, I can only comment on the precise defense of the sword. I don’t know what the precise defense of the shield axe is like. "

Altman folded his arms, "The precise defense skills of the shield axe have only been gradually developed in the past one or two years, and they are indeed very different from the sword.

Let's take a break first. The details will be discussed after the training weapons arrive. "

While waiting, Feng Ying ran to Hayata excitedly and asked about the precise defense moves that she had only thought were cool before, but had not thought deeply about.

Gordon came to Altman and asked some questions.

"Mr. Altman, the so-called precision defense is highly respected among masters not only because this kind of moves can disarm or block monster attacks with minimal force.

The most important thing is to seize the flaws when the monster fails to attack, and even use its power to launch a powerful counterattack, right?"

"That's right." Altman nodded and said, "After all, you can't kill monsters by defense alone."

If it was Feng Ying who said this, he might be a little surprised, but Gordon. He was not surprised.

When he heard that the elder intended to promote a young hunter who was only 25 years old to eight stars, he went to learn about Gordon's experience.

The latter's hunting record and the achievements of creating the courageous style made him ignore Gordon's age and treat him as a hunter of the same level.

"Mr. Gordon, do you have any discoveries or ideas?" Altman asked proactively.

"Well, you should just call me Gordon if you're not a gentleman."

Gordon coughed dryly and continued, "Don't worry if you laugh at me. Actually, I've been trying to find a way to use the greatsword to perform precise defense.

You are an expert in defense, so I want to ask for your opinion."

"Precise defense with a greatsword?" Altman looked surprised.

Gordon asked awkwardly, "Do you think it's unreliable?"

"No, no, no, there's nothing unreliable about it. To put it bluntly, precise defense is a way of parrying at the right time. The sword can do it, and the greatsword can do it in theory, too. The only difference is the difficulty."

At this point, Altman paused, "In fact, a greatsword user has tried this path, although he eventually took another path."

Gordon became interested, "Has a greatsword user tried it? Can I ask for details?"

Altman stroked his beard and said, "It was almost ten years ago, right? A great swordsman from Ryūliyuan came to me and discussed this with me.

I heard that precision defense was not developed later, but instead a special dodge posture similar to Tachimikiri was developed. "

"Uh, are you talking about Senior Bernard?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he died later. Did you know him?"

Gordon sighed, "Well, the courage style was developed based on the notes left by senior Bernard."

"That's it." Altman was silent for a few seconds and patted Gordon's arm.

As for more verbal comfort, it's not necessary.

Gordon rubbed his face vigorously and adjusted his mood, "Mr. Altman, my current thoughts on precision defense are not the same as the original direction of Bernard.

Do you think it's possible to harness the power of monster attacks to a greater extent? "

"To a greater extent?" Altman was stunned and quickly understood, "I can probably understand what you mean. It is very common to use the power of monsters while accurately defending.

For example, the ones I plan to teach Feng Ying can release powerful attribute liberation attacks at a very fast speed after precise defense.

To put it bluntly, it turns into a spring. The monster's attack makes you squat, and then you use this power to jump higher.

Do you hope to go further and more thoroughly on this road? "

"That's pretty much what it means."

"What is the 'greater limit' you envision?"

Gordon thought for a while, "After precise defense, directly release the true charged slash?"

"." A look of astonishment appeared on Altman's face again, and the old hunter then smiled bitterly and said: "You really took a big step."

"Do you think it's possible?" Gordon continued.

Altman was silent for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "If another hunter asked me this, I might scold him.

This application exists only in theory.

If you want to use that power, you must first withstand that power. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people, and it is also difficult for hunters. If your body is not strong enough, your spine will be crushed.

But you, you might actually be able to do it. "

Gordon grinned. He thought his body was quite strong.

"I can't give you any direct advice. After all, big swords are not my specialty, but I may be able to provide you with some direction."

"You said."

"There is a move in Ryuuriin's great sword hunting technique, the core of which is to forcibly withstand monster attacks and use itself as a spring to launch a super strong counterattack. That may be able to provide you with a reference."

"Are you talking about the 'Raging Dragon Resentment Slash'?" Gordon became so excited that he almost forgot about this hunting skill.

Back then, the tavern proprietress of Longliyuan, the former master hunter, once severely criticized this hunting technique, thinking that it was a way to die.

In fact it is indeed the case

However, if I could extract some of these force-receiving skills and combine them with precision defense, maybe I could develop some safer and more powerful moves? !

"Thank you for your valuable advice, I will try it later!"

Looking at the excited Gordon, Altman sighed silently.

Sure enough, the great swordsmen are all madmen

ps.

Some readers asked about Feng Ying's height. In fact, Feng Ying's height is considered normal for ordinary people, about 1.6 meters tall.

But among hunters, especially heavy-armed hunters, they are at the bottom.

Altman is about 212 centimeters tall. I imagine that there is an ordinary female high school student standing next to O'Neal.
