The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 23 Knife and sword, the road of choice!
The scorching sun rises and hangs in the sky.

Fragments of sunlight fall down, dispelling the biting chill of winter.

Behind the three-story building, there is an open courtyard separated, which covers a small area, and the distance between the front and back is only about three feet.

The hard and flat ground is paved with large pieces of bluestone. There are many wooden piles mixed with iron and wood standing around it, as well as weapon racks placed close to the wall, with different types of steel weapons placed on them.

Artisans are good at using all kinds of weapons.

Especially for legionnaires, the use of swords, axes, spears, bows, and arrows, etc., is not a matter of proficiency.

Huo Jixing and Eric stood more than ten feet apart, facing each other.

DeWitt, who came with a learning mentality, followed him to the edge of the courtyard. In his deep-set eye sockets, his brown eyes turned and looked at the two curiously.

One is a newly awakened transcendent, and the other is the ten-capion commander whom he respects and worships.

Viewed from a distance, there is a huge difference in body shape between the two.

Eric looks like a fierce tiger, about seven feet tall, tall and strong.

Huo Jixing is less than six feet tall, obviously much shorter and much thinner.

call!
Huo Jixing breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his posture, and held the standard long sword that had just been taken off the weapon rack tightly in his hand.

The discussion with Eric in front of me was an unexpected gain from this meeting.

It's a good time to try the progress made during this period.

After quickly adjusting his mentality, Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed, and red surged in his pupils, falling on Eric.

"Conquering Blade, let me see what level of skill it is!"

Before his passion had even begun, when Huo Jixing met Eric's eyes, he suddenly felt a huge sense of oppression coming towards him.

This is far beyond what can be compared to the snow boar, frost-toothed giant wolf, or beast spirit apprentice.

Eric held the giant sword easily with one hand. His seemingly casual gesture gave him an endless sense of fatal threat.

Chi!
The sword blade broke through the air, and white marks emerged.

Huo Jixing suppressed the restlessness in his heart, stepped forward, and stepped forward, using the long sword against the giant sword. He would have a certain advantage at close range.

Unfortunately, the idea is very good, but the gap is too huge.

Chi!
The giant sword slashed down, its force was like a mountain avalanche, compressing and solidifying the air, instantly restricting Huo Jixing's forward direction.

The next moment!

Clang!

The sound of sword blades clashing was heard, and the long and narrow standard sword fell to the ground and bounced gently, as if it was telling something.

one strike!
Falling sword!

"The intention is too obvious, continue!"

A cold voice came. Huo Jixing walked over, picked up the sword, continued to straighten his posture, looked at Eric who looked relaxed, and launched another attack.

Clang!

The long sword fell to the ground.

"The strength is okay, but the reaction is too slow, continue!"

Clang!

The long sword fell to the ground.

"This time the reaction is okay, but it's still too slow. Continue!"

Clang!

The long sword fell to the ground.

"Making progress, stay focused! Keep going!"

Clang!

Faced with repeated failures, Huo Jixing was not discouraged and repeatedly waved the standard long sword to attack Eric.

And during such frequent sparring sessions, he could vaguely sense Eric's physical attributes.

Whether it is strength, physique, or agility, it should be much better than him, at least 3 points or more. Coupled with the skill level of the Conquering Blade, Eric can easily knock down the sword with one blow every time.

continue!

Huo Jixing grinned, sweating with the name of hard work, and launched another attack!

After dozens of sparring sessions.

Huo Jixing gradually went from being defeated by one move to being defeated by two moves, and occasionally would persist until the third move.

This is due to the fact that Eric will provide corresponding guidance and corrections after each sparring session.

After another defeat.

Eric stood on the spot, frowned slightly, looked at the standard long sword in Huo Jixing's hand, and said: "You don't seem to be suitable for using a long sword, or in other words, it doesn't match the flame power you possess. "

Although Huo Jixing did not use the power of Nanli Fire, Eric could easily see it with his own skill level.

Huo Jixing's attack was paving the way for the flames, waiting for the violent catharsis.

"Not suitable for using a long sword!?"

Huo Jixing stopped, took a breath, lowered his head and held the standard sword in his hand, his expression filled with confusion.

"Then what should I use?"

"The long sword is too light and does not go well with your fire power."

Eric recalled the life-and-death fight in the snow of Freljord not long ago. The violent fire that was ignited seemed to have no advantage compared to Huo Jixing's swordsmanship.After pondering for a while, Eric's eyes fell on the weapons rack not far away and he answered.

"Knife!"

Among the many cruel wars that Eric has experienced, there are some overlaps and differences in the applicability of knives and swords.

A knife is edged on one side, and a sword is edged on both sides.

The knife is thick and heavy, the sword is thin and light.

The knife can be used to cut, shave, cut, and chop, and the sword can be used to cut, whet, and stab.

When wearing armor and fighting at close range, the effectiveness of a knife exceeds that of a sword.

The sharpness of the knife lies in the chopping.

One slash is worth many sword thrusts.

In the previous sparring session, Eric observed Huo Jixing's sword-drawing movements. It was obvious that he did not have systematic training under the guidance of a famous teacher.

The knife is different. Its movements are simple. It does not require years of suffering and training. It only needs enough strength to exert a terrifying effect.

Once the sword is strong, it moves like fire. Every time you swing the sword, you will accumulate energy.

In the end, it seemed like a blazing flame, turning into a prairie fire.

Slashing with a sword can also achieve a similar effect, but in battlefield combat, it is far faster than swinging a sword.

Of course, heavy weapons may be more effective.

However, Huo Jixing's size limits him from using heavy weapons. Even if he can wield heavy weapons, they are far less effective than a knife.

The above are just his suggestions. Whether you listen or not depends on Huo Jixing himself.

"A sword?" Huo Jixing looked down at the standard sword in his hand, thoughtfully.

To put it bluntly, swords are very difficult to master without the guidance of famous teachers and the torturous practice from childhood.

The knife is different. The single blade is thick and heavy, and it can produce good lethality if you swing it casually in your hand.

Even if you learn it seriously, it takes much less time than swordsmanship.

Long weapons and heavy weapons such as guns, daggers, halberds, and spears are suitable for formation confrontation.

It is not suitable for individual combat.

As for the realm of the master?
What Eric meant in his words was that the realm of a master was too far away, and he might not be able to reach it in this life, so he had better settle down and practice his skills.

"Try?!"

Huo Jixing walked to the weapon rack, placed the standard long sword on it again, and picked up a single-edged heavy sword.

The blade is more than three feet long, and the handle is about one foot or two inches. The sharp blade reflects the cold light and reflects the handsome face.

Hoo hoo!Hoo hoo!
Huo Jixing swung the knife casually, and the blade cut the air, making bursts of whimpering sounds.

Then he walked up to Eric with a knife and continued sparring.

At the beginning, because Huo Jixing was not familiar with long knives, the effect was not very good.

But as time passed, he gradually adapted to the long sword, and the effect of his training suddenly improved. He didn't have to worry about the effect of his moves and could just swing them randomly.

Chop, wipe, dodge, and jump.

Huo Jixing seemed to be a different person. He turned with the sword, and his aura was fierce. It was obviously different from the state when he was swinging the sword.

Clang!

The sword slashed, causing ripples in the air.

Huo Jixing took four steps back, panting like an ox, and the arm holding the knife trembled, but the knife did not fall.

"Not bad!" Eric put down the giant sword in his hand. He didn't sweat all over his body and looked very relaxed.

"Compared to swordsmanship, you seem to have better talent in swordsmanship."

"Can we customize weapons in the camp?" Huo Jixing's chest rose and fell, and he waved the long knife, but he was not very good at it.
"Yes, but you need to register at the munitions office." Eric walked over, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Recently, a lot of high-quality ore from Fort Diver has been shipped to the camp. You can go there early, pick some, and build a weapon that suits you."

"Thank you!" Huo Jixing nodded gently and expressed his thanks.

This meeting can be said to have yielded a lot. Not only did I learn about the skill system, but I also discovered a bit of extraordinary knowledge about runes and magic.

Eric didn't hide his secrets. In addition to sparring, he also taught personally.

Huo Jixing silently accepted this feeling in his heart.

There is also Legion Advisor Wilson. Although the promised extraordinary knowledge has not yet been fulfilled, his tips are also very important.

Eric then invited Huo Jixing to have dinner together. The two chatted happily and agreed to continue sparring later.

These are not polite words.

Huo Jixing needs to improve his skills, and Eric himself is eager to fight with extraordinary beings.

This can be seen from the previous scout mission.

If you go deeper into Freljord to perform missions, you may encounter extraordinary beings frequently.

Those extraordinary beings who belong to the Winter's Claw tribe will not talk and laugh with you politely.

After encountering him, it will only be a life and death fight!
