Chapter 5: The Cross Sword

Name: George Beruning Strength: 1.9 Agility: 1.8 Constitution: 1.9 Status: Healthy

Every move he makes is completely sealed off by Lei Lin, and the range of evasion is becoming increasingly smaller

Yes, to put it simply, everyone has their own habits when drawing their sword. As long as one remembers these habits, it becomes quite easy to set traps based on the enemy's tendencies. This is how I dealt with you

The cross sword of Lei Lin struck the ground, splattering mud and small stones.

George said with a smile, withdrawing the great sword in his hand

We are still far from it!" Lei Lin said in a low voice, stepping with a peculiar rhythm, and launched another attack.

Experimental results indicate that the subject is unharmed while the target has lost combat capability. Should the dynamic auxiliary perspective be activated

Heavy cavalry represents the pinnacle of combat power in the cold weapon era. Once they charge, even small city walls may be breached. The fact that great knights can withstand such force with their bodies is a testament to their immense strength

He has an experimental idea and wishes to practice it here, which is why he extended the invitation

This certainly does not escape the attention of the Black Robes, but after several encounters, Leylin found that their demeanor was quite aloof; as long as they did not stray too far from the camp and did not cause any trouble, they would not concern themselves with anything else

Chip! Establish task! Analyze the opponent's strength and surrounding environment, simulate the optimal defeat strategy

Thank you for your kindness! But it is indeed unnecessary!" Lei Lin smiled and declined

Are you referring to the Grand Knight? That represents a higher echelon of knighthood, a truly significant figure wherever they may be! If fortune smiles upon them, they might even receive the hospitality of the king! Should they express a willingness to pledge loyalty, they are sure to be appointed as a legion commander

Ding!!!

George's physical condition is no longer achievable through normal training. According to him, he has been undergoing knight training since childhood with *Tu* books, which has contributed to his current physical fitness

Task established, beginning analysis

The cross sword in Lei Lin's hand was held horizontally, blocking George's attack

My father taught me these sword techniques when I was young, but unfortunately, I have forgotten them. Now, I want to recall them through training

Leilin also arrived at the venue, "Come on! This time, no holding back!"

The external world has a unified term for warriors who enhance their physical qualities through the practice of knightly breathing techniques, yet do not activate their life energy—preparatory knights

It cannot go on like this! I will fight to the end!" George suddenly swung his great sword, colliding with Raylin.

Jump cut

After this period of practical training, he has thoroughly mastered the secret cross swordsmanship passed down by Farell. Due to the chip, his swordsmanship will remain at its peak and will not deteriorate from a long absence of practice with the cross sword

Through practice, George has gained an understanding of Raylin's strength

I can manage with one or two, but Olin and his group have five people!

It is quite simple; after such a long period of training, I have memorized your methods! Lei Lin sheathed his sword and smiled as he bowed.

With Lei Lin's command, countless blue lines suddenly appeared before him, seemingly virtualizing the venue

"Good! Your blocking stance is impressive!" George exclaimed loudly. "Be careful! I am going to attack your left foot next!"

Is this so? I am not entirely sure either, but the status of a wizard is undoubtedly very noble, as my father has informed me! I can assure you of this with the reputation of our Beruning family.

With a hint of confusion, he scratched his head: "Leilin and - Tu - Shu! My swordsmanship was honed through rigorous training with the great knights. My teacher even said that my skills are comparable to those of an average knight! How could you hold your own against me and still get beaten by Olin and the others?"

Alright, then let's have one last match. As usual, I will only exert the same effort as you do

George's physical fitness is of top-notch standard, even among the preparatory knights

Come on! Lei Lin is ready.

"Leilin! You are no match for me, give up!" George said with a laugh, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Are wizards really that powerful?" Leylin expressed some confusion. "Why are those black-robed figures so indifferent towards us, who might become wizards? They are merely knights after all!"

The more he fought, the more cold sweat appeared on George's face

"By the way, what is the great knight you just mentioned?" Raylin recalled George's earlier complaints and casually inquired.

Come on! George stared intently at Raylin

Once I have the strength, I will definitely take revenge fiercely and break Olin's legs

"Drink! Look at the sword!" George shouted as he took a drink, and indeed he was the first to launch an attack, swinging his two-handed sword towards Raylin, his movements identical to those of the simulated shadow from earlier

Thinking of George's pale expression at that time, as if he had fallen into the hands of bad company, Lei Lin couldn't help but want to laugh

In order to train in swordsmanship, Lei Lin set his sights on the first friend he encountered upon waking—George

Leilin took a step back, raising the cross sword to block George's two-handed sword in mid-air, "You clearly promised it would be the left foot, you are not keeping your word!"

"Drink!" George swung the long sword in his hand, unleashing a menacing gust of wind

"What the! How could this happen?" George exclaimed, rolling on the ground to evade the blade of the cross sword that had been drawn from the book.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" George exhaled deeply, "I understand now!"

In fact, he currently has the confidence to deal with the Olin group, but without an excuse, how can he trick George into training with him

Due to the hassle, Leilin set off on his journey without even bringing a dagger, resulting in him being completely unarmed after the crossing, unable to find even a single training cross sword.

It appears to be a scene of a passionate youth striving to overcome setbacks.

Following the chip's prompt, Lei Lin dodged George's great sword, and with another horizontal slash, it nearly grazed George's body

Optimal response plan: Turn left 50 degrees, horizontal slash

George touched his nose and replied somewhat awkwardly

"Let's compare once more, then we can go back!" Lei Lin said, "After this comparison, I can return this cross sword to you!"

On the battlefield, Leilin's cross sword was pressed against George's waist, "You have lost!"

My ... ... routine? '' George repeated.

Looking at Lei Lin again, it was as if he were gazing at a monster: "Your talent in swordsmanship is truly the best I have ever seen! If you had not been chosen as a wizard apprentice, I would definitely have recommended you to the War God Academy in the royal capital!"

However, the previous Leilin did not exist, the reason being that it was too heavy, which affected activities

George murmured, then fixed his gaze directly on Raylin: "How did you do it?"

Seeing the longing expression on Leilin's face, George laughed heartily and consoled him: "There is no need to envy them; wizards possess a more mysterious and powerful force than knights. As long as you become a wizard's apprentice, your status can be comparable to that of a great knight. If you become a formal wizard, then congratulations, killing a great knight will be no more difficult than stepping on an ant, and kings from various countries will eagerly offer you high positions and treasures..."

Bang! A burst of silver light shot out, piercing straight into the grass; it was the great sword held by George! The blade continued to tremble, emitting a buzzing sound

No more fighting! No more fighting! You are getting better each time! In a few days, I won't be able to compete with you!

Alright, we have rested enough, let's go back! I certainly do not want to encounter those cold faces in black robes for returning too late

George looked around; the moonlight cast a silver layer over the surroundings. In the silence, the sound of insects chirping could be heard

With the sound of the chip, the blue light within Leilin's retina also formed the phantom of George, who swung a great sword towards Leilin's right arm

The commander of a legion holds a status equivalent to that of a count, and even Viscount John must pay his respects upon meeting him

Their physical strength has reached its limit. It is said that in the secular world, apart from the ranged formations composed of archers, even the charge of heavily armored cavalry cannot halt their advance

If you do not attack, I will have to counterattack!" Lei Lin said with a smile

Hmm... Oh? George was initially somewhat indifferent, but then his eyes lit up. "You finally finished it! Gus has been urging me about it all along!"

To train in swordsmanship, the first requirement is a cross sword

Leilin clenched his fists, his face flushed with anger

Anyway, I am quite familiar with Gus, so borrowing a little more time is not a big deal

Threatening to expose the friendship, forcing George to provide practice and weapons for free

Alright! Alright! It's not that I don't believe you!" Lei Lin said somewhat helplessly

Leilin gripped the cross sword and advanced with a direct thrust! Every move was executed with precision, as if it were a textbook demonstration

As nobles, many young men wear samurai attire from www.hetushu.com, complemented by long swords at their waists

"So impressive!" Lei Lin murmured.

This is also related to his noble background and the extensive use of precious potions to enhance his physique

Look at me! George swung the greatsword in his hands, tracing a beautiful yet deadly arc in the air as he aimed for Raylin's right foot

Dear Leilin, I believe that you will surely be able to realize your wishes!" George patted Leilin on the shoulder

As George spoke, he picked up the greatsword with both hands and walked to the center of the grass, the bright blade glinting coldly in the moonlight

That's right! I lost!

According to the target response, the probability of a preemptive attack is 98.99%, with the attack directed at the main right arm. The optimal countermeasure is to sidestep and perform a jump slash

Two iron swords clashed together, producing a crisp sound

With a look of sympathy, he said: "Even now, with your strength, you are more than capable of seeking revenge!"

During the day, as they needed to travel, Leilin did not want to attract attention, so he secretly trained with George at night

Leilin smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, sidestepped the attack, raised his cross sword with both hands, leaped into the air, and struck down fiercely

Haha... this is what is called a strategy! Let's test your flexibility. My father often taught me that if one does not understand tactics, one will eventually be outplayed by others! I only want to outplay others, not be outplayed by them!

George stood up, his expression becoming serious. He could sense that just moments ago, Raylin seemed to have anticipated his attack and was fully aware of his movements.

Although your swordsmanship is improving rapidly, do you really not need the cross sword anymore? George asked again

George executed a blocking maneuver, his body leaning to one side, evading the direct thrust, and countered with a backhand strike towards Raylin

Silently recite "Chip! Scan the person in front of me!"
