Chapter 185: Different kinds of style!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Sure, one couldn’t use a single hand to clap, but it was enough to form a fist and punch people!
”Little White, carefully watch the saber!” The youth in green clothes revealed a dazzling smile. It didn’t matter if Song Shuhang had a saber in his hands; the young man tightly grasped his own and rose into the sky. Then, he aimed at Song Shuhang’s forehead with a mountain-splitting slash.
If he didn’t evade, this saber would chop Song Shuhang into two halves.
”b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Song Shuhang rolled to a side, evading the blow.
Is there an old grudge between the two of us or something? It’s the first we meet, and you’re already using such violent methods?
A gentleman uses his mouth instead of his fists. Can’t we just have a good chat?
When speaking of fist techniques, Song Shuhang could rely on his <> and keep up appearances. But in regards to saber techniques, he only knew the Flaming Saber Technique that ‘Scarlet Heaven’ had taught to Li Tiansu in the dream. Moreover, he didn’t even know how to execute it properly and could use it only by relying on the ancient ring on his finger.
He couldn’t even perform a basic saber technique, and even if he were to pick up the saber, he could only randomly swing it.
Randomly swinging the saber might work against a newbie, but how would things go when dealing with an expert?
”Little White, take the saber!” The youth in green clothes said as he kicked the saber on the ground toward Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang could only take the saber.
He clenched his teeth and thought, You brought it upon yourself! Have a taste of the Flaming Saber Technique!
When he saw Song Shuhang pick the saber, the youth smiled and moved, slas.h.i.+ng toward him. When he slashed, he created three afterimages. The saber seemed both fast and slow!
When facing this kind of attack, the enemy would surely be fl.u.s.tered.
Song Shuhang kept his calm, and no matter how strange the attack the opponent looked, he concentrated and recalled Scarlet Heaven’s heaven-burning slash and spun his wrist, slas.h.i.+ng out! And the same time, he activated the Flaming Saber Technique formation on the ancient bronze ring on his finger.
‘Swoosh~’ blazing flames started to burn on the saber. He ignored the slash that was coming toward him and countered with a slash of his own, aiming at the youth—slash vs. slas.h.!.+ There are blazing flames on my saber. Let’s see who takes more damage!
”Hehe, come!” The youth in green clothes smiled and changed his technique. The three afterimages disappeared, and he quickly trusted he tip of the saber forward. The tip of the saber hit the handle of Song Shuhang’s saber.
”Dang…”
Song Shuhang only felt a tingling feeling between his thumb and index finger. He lost his grip on the saber, letting it fall to the ground. The raging flames also immediately died out.
”Little White, this won’t work! You can’t hold the saber that way!” The youth didn’t take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Instead, he started to demonstrate various things to Song Shuhang.
How to properly hold the saber and prevent others from making it fall by hitting the handle. How to control the power of the slashes to maximize the lethality of the blade. Which angles were the best to attack from to cause more damage and so on.
If he were in a game, a notification would surely pop-up over Song Shuhang’s head with a ”ding” sound.
This system notification would be something like: Congratulations, player ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ learned the basics of saber techniques under the guidance of a saber master.
Ding! The player ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’ was personally instructed by a saber master, basic knowledge of saber techniques +1, +1...
It would be something like this, right?
”Little White, come. Try again!” The youth in green clothes said with a smile as he once again tossed the saber on the ground toward Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang looked at the youth in green clothes with s.h.i.+ning eyes.
He thought of many things and had made a few hypothesis. Maybe… maybe he hadn’t been transported to another world!
But it didn’t matter right now.
With the guidance of this youth, he had learned the basics of saber techniques. He grasped the treasured saber and met the youth head-on, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence!
The two people clashed, and the sound of blades clas.h.i.+ng could be heard time and time again.
Song Shuhang’s understanding of saber techniques was getting better and better. He had quickly absorbed the things the youth had taught him, making them his own knowledge.
He was even able to apply his understanding of fists techniques to his saber skills now. For example, he used the Basic Fist Number Three in combination with his saber, quickly sending out tens of slashes. However, this stance was full of holes and therefore quite reckless.
Around an hour later…
Song Shuhang was once again lying on the ground, unable to get up.
Even if he had learned how to use the saber now, he was still a newbie. Therefore, it was quite normal for him to be defeated by the youth in green clothes and be lying on the ground.
Moreover, this time he had it even worse than the last time. His clothes had been reduced to rags by the saber qi, and his body was littered with scars. If he were to go and squat down on a footbridge with his current appearance, he would certainly make 200 or 300 RMB in a mere half an hour even without saying a word—this is just how pitiful he looked right now.
”Aye aye, Little White, today’s training concludes here. I’ll look for you tomorrow and we can play together again!” The youth in green clothes smiled and said once again the same sentence.
Thereafter, he mounted his horse and disappeared on the horizon with a ting-a-ling sound which kept echoing from the horse’s bell.
This time, Song Shuhang didn’t even have the strength to scream. He could only lie on the ground and gasp for breath, trying to recover his strength.
After the youth in green clothes was gone, he bitterly said, ”b.a.s.t.a.r.d, don’t let me see you another time, or else I’ll give you a lesson.”
His voice had not fallen yet when he heard a melodious ting-a-ling sound echo from a distant place and saw a youth decked in a green robe getting near while pulling his white horse along.
So quick? I’m still lying on the ground half dead. At least wait for me to recover my strength!
I’m sorry, okay?! I don’t want to see you again! Aaaah!
Doudou, where are you? Save me~
