Chapter 10: Downward Disk (Please Collect)
"You're too slow! Faster! More resolute! Didn't you have breakfast? Use more force!" In the morning, after breakfast, at the Knights' training ground, Kai stood on the field again after ten years to educate his younger brother Arthur. →
Just like ten years ago, the younger brother is always the younger brother, and the grown-up Arthur still has no power to fight back in front of Kai. After the competition began, the wooden sword in his hand could not touch Kai at all. Even though Kai was wearing armor, his flexible body and footwork still made Arthur look like a big bear that couldn't catch a bee. He could only clumsily swing the long sword in his hand, and then watch Kai dodge lightly, and then slap himself hard with the wooden sword in his hand.
Although Kai's attacks were all reserved, and the hits on the body would only hurt at most, and would not really cause any harm, but these repeated hits still caused tons of damage to Arthur's heart.
Kai was Arthur's enlightenment teacher, and Arthur's swordsmanship was taught by Kai. At that time, Arthur was still young and couldn't beat Kai, so it was normal for Kai to beat him all day. But ten years later, Arthur thought that the gap between him and Kai would narrow down no matter what, and Arthur even imagined that he could surpass Kai. After all, Arthur's talent is obvious to everyone. Over the years, Arthur can almost be said to be invincible in the Knights, which makes Arthur a little arrogant.
As a result, our young Arthur was beaten by reality.
Just like ten years ago, he still had no power to fight back. And this was when Kai was not serious at all.
"Steps! Steps! I have always told you that your steps must be steady. Your steps can be slow, but they must be steady! If you can't even stand steadily in a battle, how can you fight others?" After Kai dodged Arthur's attack again, he gently swung the wooden sword in his hand and hit Arthur's knee. As a result, Arthur couldn't stand steadily and staggered forward.
This made Kai very dissatisfied. In his previous life, Kai graduated from a martial arts school before he joined the army. He could barely be considered a martial artist and had a master who was not a famous master, but he was also a disciple of Tianjin Tian's Bajiquan.
Due to his limited talent, he could only make a living in the martial arts school, but after all, he was from a famous and upright family, so the basic requirements were very high. In addition, Kai was a formal disciple, so the master was not polite and had very strict requirements since he was a child.
In his previous life, Kai didn't think it was a big deal when he was studying, because neither his master nor his family allowed him to fight or make trouble, which meant that his body was a little stronger than ordinary people. It was not until he became a soldier that he realized how important those basics were. In the army, Kai relied on his solid foundation to perform very well in daily training, and his training progress was much faster than that of his peers. It was also because of this that he was selected as a scout.
Among all the basics, the lower body is the most important. An unstable lower body will make your steps weak. The whole person looks weak, like floating around, and will be knocked down with a sweep.
Most of the logic of using force in martial arts starts from the lower body, and the waist is the main force. For example: stand still - twist the waist - turn the hips - punch, and the force comes out like this.
If the lower body is unstable, the force will not be enough, the punch will be extremely weak, and the power will not be exerted at all. If the lower body is stable, the stability of the person will be high, and the body will be able to remain stable when turning and moving, and it will be faster and more powerful when fighting.
In the past, Kai's master Cheng told Kai a sentence, when dealing with martial artists, look at the legs first. See if he walks with strength and stability. If the footsteps are weak, this kind of person is definitely a show-off. Don't think that the fight looks good, but when the fight really starts, you can immediately see the difference.
Kai has always remembered this truth in his life, so he never stopped standing in the horse stance. As his younger brother, Kai naturally taught Arthur this way. As a result, after ten years of not seeing each other, Arthur actually forgot all his teachings.
This is also a common problem of Celtic knights. They habitually exercise their strength first and then learn swordsmanship. They don't have a specific training method for the lower body. At most, they squat while holding a stone block.
And to be honest, Kai's set of things is really stupid in the eyes of others. The posture of the horse stance is really not elegant.
But Kai never thought that his always obedient brother would forget his instructions.
This made Kai very unhappy!
Arthur is Arthur!
He is destined to be king! In this era, the king must have power, because this era is not safe, like the griffin that day. Is there only one griffin in the whole world?
What a joke? ! ! !
There are many monsters like this outside the human activity area! In this dangerous era, only strength can ensure people's survival.
Again, Arthur is Arthur!
The title of King Arthur is not a joke. Even if Kai knew little about foreign things in his previous life, he knew some stories about the Knight King.
After so many ancient mythological figures appeared in front of him, Kai is now unsure whether Arthur was named this way or not by coincidence.
After all, even Zeus, Gilgamesh, and Odin have appeared! Why can't there be another King Arthur?
"Get up!"
Kai decided to teach Arthur a profound lesson and let him know the price of laziness! Arthur is King Arthur!
If he is really so weak, how can he change the legendary ending? It would be fine if Kai didn't know Arthur, but now that Arthur is his brother, he can't let Arthur accept that terrible ending!
Although Kai's knowledge of the legend of King Arthur is limited to the fact that Arthur was very cool, then he was cheated on, then he was betrayed, and then he died. He didn't know much about the rest, and he didn't even know how Arthur ended up. After all, Kai in his previous life didn't have any special hobbies in this area. He was born in a typical traditional Chinese family. Apart from occasionally listening to foreign songs and watching a few blockbusters, he rarely took the initiative to learn about foreign culture.
But Kai had a very simple view, that is, as long as Arthur was stronger than the legend, then he would definitely be able to change his fate.
Arthur was not a child after all, and it was impossible for him to cry after falling down. He stood up quickly. He raised his sword again. His education did not allow him to give up easily.
Seeing Arthur's resolute look, Kai was a little comforted.
"This is still a bit like that, otherwise I would doubt what you have been doing in the past ten years." After saying that, Kai picked up another wooden sword from the shelf next to him. I forgot to say that Kai is a double-blade flow, and he doesn't like the sword and shield flow that knights like the most.
Kai made a sword flower with his right hand, held the wooden sword in his right hand, and pointed the wooden sword at Arthur with his left hand.
"Begin!" Kai shouted. Kai slid towards Arthur with both legs, and slashed the wooden sword in his right hand at Arthur's head.
