Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Fengying's eyes sparkled, "Is my body shape not affected?"

"." Altman looked down at Fengying.

Whether it is a hunter apprentice in the training camp or a graduate who has graduated for many years, he is very afraid of him, and no one dares to speak to him like this.

Something new.

"It's not us defenders who are the best at precise defense, but the swordsmen." Altman glanced at Hayata, who was carrying a big sword, and continued:

"Tachi is a weapon born out of a great sword. The thin and slender blade can't be used for parrying, and its heavy weight makes Taisao users not as flexible as other light-armed swordsmen.

This makes Taidao only exist as a derivative of the Great Sword a long time ago (the first generation). "

"Huh? So that's the case?" Fengying was surprised.

"Later, the emergence of Qi Refining and Qi Blade Slash made Taidao an independent weapon type, and for a very long time after that, Taidao appeared as a purely offensive weapon.

This point can be clearly seen from the older generation of sword masters. For example, Master Puxian of your Yanhuo Village, with a sword in his hand, it seems that there is nothing in the world that he can't cut. "

Hearing this, several people present couldn't help recalling the scene of Master Puxian cutting Lei Guang with his sword.

"In recent decades, Taidao sword skills have undergone earth-shaking changes again. The emergence and popularization of the concept of precision defense has made Taidao one of the most powerful types of weapons in one fell swoop.

Regarding this point, Ms. Hayata should be very clear that your master Amos has the title of 'Swift Sword' because he is particularly good at seeing and collaborating, and he is famous for it.

As his disciple, you must also be proficient in this way. "

Hayata smiled when she heard the words. On this point, she doesn't need to be humble.

Gordon scratched his chin, wondering why.

It was during the two-star hunter period that Hayata became a teacher and began to practice alone. At that time, Amos had already taught her the skills of seeing and collaborating.

By the time of the three-star hunter, she had already been able to use these skills very skillfully.

Otherwise, she would have been slapped to death by the monster long ago due to her red blade fanaticism at the time.

These two moves seem ordinary, but in fact, the requirements for sword skills and reaction speed are quite high.

Ordinary sword masters seldom mastered these two moves at such an early stage, and even if they mastered them, they were mostly used to deal with emergencies rather than frequently used.

Hayata's combat method of using Miki Iai to jump repeatedly between the monster's minions was originally inherited from her master Amos.

"It's a little bit far away." Altman turned his gaze back to Fengying, "I said this to tell you that the concept of precision defense may not have been created by the swordsmen, but it was indeed carried forward by them .

There are also petite sword masters, and Ms. Hariyata is also not a strong physique, so you don't need to worry about body shape. "

Hayata nodded and said: "Indeed, as Mr. Altman said, for precise defensive moves, size and absolute strength are not the key. Apart from explosive power, the most important thing is the judgment of timing and angle.

However, I can only comment on the precision defense of the sword. I don't know what the precision defense of the shield and ax is. "

Altman crossed his arms, "The precise defense skills of the shield axe have only been gradually developed in the past two years, and they are indeed very different from the Taidao.

Let's rest for a while, specifically, wait until the training weapons arrive. "

During the waiting time, Fengying excitedly ran to Hayata's side, and asked about the precise defensive moves that she only thought were handsome before, but didn't think deeply about them.

Gordon came to Altman and asked some questions.

"Mr. Altman, the reason why the so-called precise defense is highly respected among masters is not just because this kind of moves can be undone with the smallest force, or block monster attacks.

The most important thing is to seize the moment when the monster fails to attack, and even use its power to launch a strong counterattack, right? "

"That's right." Altman nodded and said, "After all, you can't kill monsters with defense alone."

If the person who said these words was Fengying, he might be a little surprised, but Gordon wasn't surprised.

When he heard that the Great Elder intended to promote a twenty-five-year-old young hunter to eight stars, he went to find out about Gordon's experience.

And the latter's hunting record, as well as the achievement of creating a courageous style, made him take the initiative to ignore Gordon's age and treat him as a hunter of the same level.

"Does Mr. Gordon have any discoveries or ideas?" Altman asked proactively.

"Hey, sir, you should just call me Gordon."

Gordon coughed dryly, and continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, I have been trying to find a way to use the big sword to perform precise defense.

You are an expert in defense, so I would like to ask your opinion. "

"The precision defense of the big sword?" Altman's face was filled with astonishment.

Gordon asked with a little embarrassment: "Do you think it's unreliable?"

"No, no, there is nothing unreliable. To put it bluntly, precision defense is a way to seize the opportunity to parry. The Taisao can do it, and the big sword can naturally do it in theory. The difference is just the difference in difficulty."

Speaking of this, Altman paused, "Actually, a great swordsman tried to walk this road, although he ended up on another road."

Gordon became interested, "Have any great swordsmen tried it? Can you ask the specifics?"

Altman stroked his beard and said: "It was almost ten years ago? A great swordsman from the Dragon Calendar Institute came to find me and discussed this with me.

I heard that he didn't develop a precise defense later, but instead came up with a special evasion stance similar to a sharp knife. "

"Uh, are you talking about Senior Bernard?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he sacrificed later. Do you know him?"

Gordon sighed, "Well, the style of courage was developed based on the notes left by Senior Bernard."

"So." Altman was silent for a few seconds, and patted Gordon's arm.

As for more verbal comfort, there is no need.

Gordon rubbed his face vigorously and adjusted his emotions, "Mr. Altman, my current thoughts on precision defense are not in the same direction as Senior Bernard's original direction.

Do you think it would be possible to maximize the power of monster attacks? "

"To a greater extent?" Altman was stunned for a while, and quickly understood, "I can probably understand what you mean, it is very common to use monster power while precise defense.

For example, the ones I'm going to teach Fengying can quickly unleash powerful attribute liberation attacks after precise defense.

To put it bluntly, it is the avatar spring, the monster's attack makes you crouch, and then you jump higher with this force.

Do you hope to go further and more thoroughly on this road? "

"That's pretty much what it means."

"Which step is the 'greater limit' you envisioned?"

Gordon thought for a while, "After the precise defense, directly release the true charge cut?"

"." The astonishment appeared on Altman's face again, and the old hunter immediately said with a wry smile: "This step of yours is really big enough."

"Do you think it's possible?" Gordon continued.

Altman was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice: "If other hunters asked me that, I might scold him.

This application exists only in theory.

If you want to use that power, you must first withstand that power. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people, and it is also difficult for hunters. If your body is not strong enough, your spine will be crushed.

But you, you might actually be able to do it. "

Gordon grinned, he thought his body was still quite strong.

"I can't tell you anything directly, after all, the great sword is not my specialty, but maybe I can give you a little direction."

"You say."

"There is a technique in Longliyuan's great sword hunting technique. The core is to forcibly withstand the monster's attack, and use itself as a spring to launch a super strong counterattack. Maybe it can provide you with a reference."

"You mean 'Wrathful Dragon Slash'?" Gordon became so excited that he almost forgot about this hunting skill.

Back then, the proprietress of the tavern in Longli Academy, the former master hunter, once severely criticized this hunting technique, thinking that it was sending her to death.

In fact it is true

However, if I can extract some of the force-bearing skills and combine them with precise defense, maybe I can develop a safer and more powerful move? !

"Thank you for your valuable opinion, I will try it later!"

Looking at the excited Gordon, Altman sighed silently.

Sure enough, the great swordsmen are all lunatics

p.s.

A reader asked about Fengying's height. In fact, Fengying's height is normal for ordinary people, around 1.6 meters.

But among hunters, especially heavy hunters, they are at the bottom.

Altman is about two hundred and twenty centimeters, and there is an ordinary female high school student standing next to O'Neill
