Chapter Twenty-Five: Old Strips of Cloth and Long Black Knives


In the Zhige New Life Hall, Tang Ke, who was sitting in the corridor outside the door with Lin Xi, glanced coldly at Lin Xi beside him, and said without turning around: "I don't agree." ” "Lin Xi, I always think that you are much smarter than us on weekdays, how could you be so stupid today and agree to a duel with him" Without waiting for Lin Xi to say anything, he said again: "Although Qiu Lu looks squirming, but the last time Teacher Tong took the test, he opened his arched feet with seven fingers, that is to say, he and I have stepped into the ranks of cultivators for about the same time, at most, they are inferior to me in martial arts." ” Lin Xi looked at Qiu Lu very innocently, and shouted: "But at that time, so many people watched, I didn't agree to come down, it would be very shameless."

"You still have this mood without face" Tang Ke took a deep breath, resisted the urge to punch Lin Xi, thinking of many things in the border army, his heart became cold again.

"Lin Xi."

He looked at Lin Xi and said solemnly: "I have at least three friends in the border army, just like you, because they are not convinced and want to prove themselves, or fight with others, but none of the three of them survived. ” Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't be so serious, it's actually me."

Originally, he wanted to say, in fact, I was a little sure, but Tang Ke directly interrupted him: "Lin Xi, do you know what the real reason is why I don't want to go back to the border army I am not afraid of death, I am not afraid of death, I am not unable to endure the bite of snakes and insects lurking in the mountains and forests, nor can I stand the cold arrows that may penetrate my body at any time, I just don't want to see my friend die next to me again, and I can only watch helplessly." ” "Do you know what it feels like to have a friend behind your back and you want to save him desperately, but his body is cold on your back, and the blood in his mouth is frozen in the wind" Tang Ke looked at Lin Xi, his face turned pale, and his body not only trembled slightly.

Lin Xi's playful heart suddenly disappeared.

He looked at Tang Ke, compared with the thinness when he entered the academy, Tang Ke was already much stronger, probably because he chewed food too carefully, his cheek muscles were more developed than ordinary people, making his current face look a little square, not good-looking, and his short hair that had grown a little longer was tied behind his head, half rushing to the sky, making him still look extraordinarily unruly and out of place compared with the students of the general academy.

He is still like a long knife of the border army, giving people the feeling that it is dangerous and easy to hurt, but looking at him, Lin Xi knows that his heart may be softer than many golden spoon boys.

"Okay, I promise you, when I go out with you in the future, I will definitely be more careful and not die in front of you."

Lin Xi patted Tang Ke's shoulder and said seriously: "Actually, what I want to tell you is that it's not that serious, I should still have a good chance of dealing with Qiu Lu." ” Tang Ke took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Lin Xi, the gap in cultivation is not as simple as you think, although that black armor suppresses cultivation, but his strength is still greater than yours." ” Lin Xi looked at him and suddenly said softly, "I'm also on the list." ” Tang Ke was stunned: "What did you say?"

Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder again, and said softly word by word: "I'm also on the list." ” Tang Ke was stunned again.

"Actually, I dealt with an opponent today, and according to my judgment, the strength should be about the same as Qiu Lu."

Lin Xi knew that he would have to explain something sooner or later, and whispered in Tang Ke's ear: "Associate Professor An taught me something, which is very useful. ” "You really retired from the five-star record twice in a row," Tang Ke finally made sure that Lin Xi was not joking with himself.

"Of course it's true."

Lin Xi smiled, and suddenly his eyes lit up again, because he thought that Tang Ke should be one of the most powerful people among this batch of Qingluan Academy freshmen, and he always carried that black knife, so from Tang Ke's hands, he might also be able to learn a lot of things, and he himself was still going to practice archery and slashing before entering meditation practice, so he immediately became excited, looked at Tang Ke and said, "Otherwise, let's go out and practice."

"Private fights are forbidden in the academy, but if you don't fight, there shouldn't be any problem."

Tang Ke was also completely aroused, Lin Xi, who had always been a little weak in his eyes, had already left the scene twice with a five-star record, and he had only left the scene three times.

"How can you have it" And seeing what Lin Xi took out when he returned to the room, Tang Ke let out an exclamation.

What Lin Xi was holding in his hand was a black border army long knife "I begged Teacher Mu Qing to give it to me."

Lin Xi smiled.

Looking at Lin Xi, who was a little proud, and then at the genuine Bian Jun long knife in Lin Xi's hand, Tang Ke exhaled heavily, looked at Lin Xi a little speechlessly, and said, "Now I really believe it." ” There is no restriction on walking at night in the academy, and the students of Qingluan Academy have been practicing outside according to some subjects since they have been practicing for more than two years, so the entire Qingluan Academy is truly vast and sparsely populated, and it is too easy to find an open space where no one can disturb and wield a long knife.

On a small barren slope next to the wooden trail that crossed the central axis of this mountain, Lin Xi and Tang Ke, who were carrying a long black knife on their backs, stopped.

Qingluan Academy itself is located at the height of the Ascending Mountain Range, and the bright moon and stars are exceptionally large and bright.

Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, Tang Ke looked at Lin Xi with great concentration, and Lin Xi also drew his knife with great concentration, showing what An Keyi had taught him, striding and slashing, and the long black knife without light began to spin and fly on his side.

Only at the moment when Lin Xi's second slash was out, Tang Ke's eyes were already filled with shock and awe, as the most sacred place in the empire, the strength of some lecturers and professors here was really unimaginable to outsiders, Lin Xi's current slash may not seem skillful in his eyes, but every time he slashed, the footwork of his body and the movements of his arms and wrists, he felt like throwing a knife in the air and spinning, and then every movement of his body seemed to accelerate the movement of this knife.

This made Lin Xi's current strength, every slash with an extraordinary speed.

He could imagine what terrifying speed and power such a slash would erupt in the hands of that nerdy-looking weak female associate professor with powerful soul power "How" Lin Xi, who had completed many slashing actions in a row, gasped and looked at Tang Ke and asked, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and added: "Teacher An said that her method of slashing, if you pursue it quickly, the essence is to slash the instantaneous adjustment of the opponent's blade or the opponent's body, with the help of the momentum of the opponent's blade or body, so that the blade can pop out faster, just like throwing tiles towards the water, so that the tiles can hit the water surface and quickly slide out." ” "In our army, this kind of sword skill can already be called a divine skill."

After Tang Ke was silent for a long time, he looked at Lin Xi and said: "The speed of my current knife is at most similar to yours, and my experience can't be compared with it at all, and making suggestions in vain may have the opposite effect."

The only thing I can help you with now is to look at your sword position, if you use the methods that some of our border troops will use, it will be useful when you fight for a fatal blow. ” "It's useful when you hit it with a fatal blow" "You've got it."

Tang Ke lifted his long black knife in his hand, untied the old and tough strip of cloth wrapped around the handle, and tied one end tightly to his hand, and the other end was still wrapped around the handle.

After accomplishing such a move, Tang Ke slashed the first knife into the space in front of him, followed by the second one.

Lin Xi was engrossed, he could see that Tang Ke was learning his own slashing movements, and it was in this third knife, in this third knife, Tang Ke's movements were suddenly much more fierce than the previous two knives, completely ignoring the impact on the next knife, slashing out, and at the same time, the long knife in his hand flew out of his hand.

The knife flew faster and slashed into the air, but as soon as it was slashed, it fell down again and was caught in Tang Ke's hand.

Tang Ke, who had the knife in his hand, looked at Lin Xi, who was frowning, and did not make a sound, not interrupting Lin Xi's own thoughts.

"This is seeing that you can't hurt the other party, and the last desperate blow comes out of your hand, not only can it be more ruthless and faster, but it can also increase the length a little, the opponent thinks you can't reach it, but you cut it down" Lin Xi said slowly while thinking.

Tang Ke nodded, began to untie the tough old cloth strip on the handle of the knife, and said solemnly: "This trial valley is not like the chaotic army on the battlefield of the border army anyway, there are not many people surrounding you, so this knife shot, you don't need to practice like me, you can quickly grab the knife right away This is just a small skill among the border army that is not a cultivator, as a cultivator, there will be more powerful means in the future, so there is no need to waste time on this."

What you have to pay attention to is that the opponents we met in the Valley of Trials were all wearing black armor that could not be split, so this knife must be slashed in a relatively vulnerable place for the opponent, otherwise the opponent will fight back, and you will have no chance to turn over. ” Lin Xi nodded: "I understand this truth." ” "Here's for you."

Tang Ke handed the old strip of cloth that he had untied to Lin Xi, "You are not allowed to bring weapons into the Valley of Trials, the strips of cloth that are not weapons are wrapped around your hands, and the lecturer doesn't care."

The first day I entered, I put on black armor and wrapped it around my hands. ” "Thank you, I'll try, you teach me how to get a little tighter, so don't really fly too far, otherwise even if I cut down the opponent at once, when I get the knife back, the other party will be relieved, then I will be miserable."

Mu Qing stood on the roof of the bell tower not far away, silently watching Lin Xi and Tang Ke's practice, there was a warm smile on the corner of her mouth, "I hope you will always be such friends."

In her heart, she prayed for the two students who reminded her of many happy and beautiful things about herself
