13. Test the sword
As soon as Xu Fei entered the gate of the Sword Hall, he was about to take off his shoes when he heard Li Jie shouting behind him.
"Hey, wait for me."
Li Jie ran after him with his helmet.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fei asked.
Li Jie took a breath and asked, "Are you here to train? Can I go in with you? Hehe, I can't go online and there is no other place to go. It's too boring to stay alone. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you using a sword yet."
"All right."
Just as he got on someone's car, Xu Fei was embarrassed to refuse. He nodded and said to the front desk staff: "Hello, I'll ask Cao Yifei for teaching, is he here?"
The front desk picked up the tablet and looked at it a few times, and replied with a professional smile: "At this, Teacher Cao just came and warmed up in the equipment area. I'll invite him here now."
"No, where is the equipment area? I'll go find him."
"Okay, go straight, and then turn right." The front desk pointed down, then lifted the walkie-talkie and said, "Cao Yifei teaches you, someone is looking for you."
Following the direction pointed by the front desk, Xu Fei quickly found the equipment area.
Cao Yifei was standing in a corner of the equipment area, practicing bell kettle with his upper body naked. He also used a 20kg bell kettle, which seemed a bit difficult.
"Wow, this figure, tsk, suck."
Li Jie stared straight at Cao Yifei's well-proportioned figure and swallowed.
Xu Fei glanced at him in confusion, "Does this guy like men?"
At this time, Cao Yifei noticed Xu Fei and immediately put down the bell kettle. While wiping sweat with a towel, hello warmly: "Good morning, I heard the front desk say someone was looking for me, and I wonder who it is, haha."
Xu Fei was not in a greeting mood and spoke straight to the topic: "Can I ask a question?"
Cao Yifei put on his shirt and showed a cheerful smile: "Well, we are familiar with each other again and again, so why are we so polite?"
"In a swordsmanship showdown, how big is the difference between having armor and not having armor?"
"How do you say this?" Cao Yifei touched the beauty ditch on his chin. "First of all, it depends on what armor you are talking about, is it leather armor, chain armor, plate armor or mixed armor? Half-body armor or full-body armor?"
Xu Fei recalled a little and said, "Half-body armor should be plate armor."
"Plate armor, that's a big difference. It's easier to deal with plate armor, spear, gun, bow, axe, and hammer than swords. If it's a swordsmanship duel with equal strength, one side with armor will basically win. Didn't General Qi Jiguang say that if the armor is strong on his body, he will stab me and cannot be hurt. I will be clumsy in my skills and will kill him the second time."
Xu Fei thought about it and nodded slightly to express his agreement.
"No." Li Jie expressed his unique understanding, and then expressed his unique understanding, "No armor can achieve a defense without dead corners on his body, right? If you cannot break the armor, you can directly attack parts without armor."
Cao Yifei shook his head and smiled, "That's right, but it's not the case. If your opponent has armor and you don't, even if his armor cannot cover the whole body, it means that your effective attack range is reduced, and then he can take the initiative in the attack. Unless your strength is much stronger than him, it will be difficult for you to win. So I just said that if you have a strong swordsmanship, the side with armor will basically win."
Seeing that Li Jie looked confused, Cao Yifei continued, "Also, your opponent is not a wooden stake. You stand still and ask you to hit him. If you attack him with a vital point, he can dodge or block it. Think about it, if you slash with a sword, he will use the abandonment tactic to exchange your life with your injury. Are you very passive?"
The so-called abandonment tactic is a commonly used scoring tactic in kendo competitions.
Now most kendo competitions use a scoring system. Players can score points by accurately and effectively hitting the opponent's body with bamboo swords. When hitting different parts, the scores are different. The more critical the part, the higher the score.
Therefore, some players will use the arms wearing protective gears as shields during the game, deliberately use their arms to block the sword, and take the opportunity to attack the opponent's key points, obtain more points, and even end the game directly.
Before Li Jie could speak, Xu Fei asked first: "Do you have any training trainers in armour fighting?"
Cao Yifei was stunned and said, "Of course there is, the swordsmanship is ultimately in the category of military attacks. I have practiced armored fighting. I am still a member of the full armored military attack club. Why, do you want to practice this?"
Xu Fei nodded: "Yes, how do you charge?"
Cao Yifei did not hesitate to think: "I will give you a discounted price, one thousand per hour for training, and five hundred per hour for props and venue usage."
Li Jie widened his eyes: "So expensive? Or is it a discounted price?"
When Xu Fei heard this price, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but he did not hesitate and immediately agreed: "Okay."
"Damn?" Li Jie's eyes were bulging straight into his sockets. He leaned into Xu Fei's ear and asked in a low voice, "You can't be a hidden rich second generation, right?"
"You discovered it, you have to keep the secret for me." Xu Fei answered seriously, and then asked Cao Yifei, "Can you start now?"
"You have to go to the front desk to sign a disclaimer agreement first. Oh, you are a minor, and you seem to have to sign the guardian." Cao Yifei scratched his head, "It's okay, I'll think of a solution. Anyway, I'm practicing with you, so there shouldn't be any problem. Come with me."
"Okay, thank you."
Xu Fei followed him to the front desk to pay the fee, signed a disclaimer with complicated terms, and then went to the equipment area to get training props.
Under Cao Yifei's guidance, Xu Fei quickly chose a mask, protective gloves and armor, but he was unable to find a handy weapon.
For safety reasons, the steel swords in the sword hall were not cut, which did not have much impact, but these steel swords were too light for Xu Fei.
Seeing that he was choosing the right and left, his expression was entangled, which made the administrator in charge of the care of equipment look impatient. Cao Yifei asked softly: "What's wrong? Isn't it used to it?"
"Yeah, it's too light."
"You use a one-handed sword, right? How heavy are you used to using?"
"At least the net weight is 2 kilograms." Xu Fei answered truthfully.
The sponge sword he made himself yesterday had a net weight of 2 kilograms, which was very easy to use. However, after last night, his maximum blood temperature increased to 49.2℃, and his physical fitness has been improved in all aspects. I believe that the arm strength and wrist strength are much greater than yesterday.
Hearing this answer, Cao Yifei's eyes flashed with surprise, but there was no doubt at all, because he had practiced with Xu Fei yesterday and knew Xu Fei's strength and endurance very well.
The administrator is a young girl in a kendo uniform and ponytail. When she heard Xu Fei's response, she laughed and shook her head, and her ponytail blew out of waves behind her head.
"One-handed sword, net weight of 2 kg? Still at least? Do you know what that concept is?"
Xu Fei looked at her quietly without saying a word.
Cao Yifei coughed awkwardly and gave her a wink: "I remember the training sword used by the curator is about the same weight? Do a favor and borrow it."
"It seems to be really useful." The administrator sneered, but despite saying that, he turned around to get the sword.
Xu Fei just frowned and said nothing. Li Jie couldn't help but complain: "What's the attitude? This is."
Cao Yifei grinned helplessly: "There is no way. She is the niece of the director of our branch. She usually does this, and everyone gives in to her. I'm sorry."
Xu Fei waved his hand: "It's okay, I understand."
"Ah? Why?" Li Jie blinked, then reacted, sagged his mouth, and stopped awkwardly.
At this time, the administrator went back and brought back a sword box.
"Come on, this sword weighs 2.5 kilograms, try it, and see if it's not right."
Chapter completed!
