Chapter 164 The original trick

Thorn, the beginning of all martial arts.

Any race will struggle to survive in the primitive wilderness. They will take materials from the environment around them, create their earliest weapons, and then develop their own different martial arts cultures. Some like to use hammers, some use axes, and some will make bows early. But no matter which race will have a weapon in its early stages of its development, as if it is an inevitable choice for martial arts: spears.

All the connotations of martial arts are ultimately eight words: cause damage and protect yourself. A long pole, a tip, and a stab. These three are the most straightforward manifestations of the connotation of martial arts. Each race chooses a spear as part of its own martial arts culture, which is natural. As for other advantages, such as cheapness, such as reducing users' fear of the battlefield, and also forming formations and throwing, these are all secondary.

Dagon picked up a stick and held it with both hands to put it around his waist. When one end of the stick was aimed at Hanmodom, although it had no pointed tips, Hanmodom also knew that Dagon was just posing without attacking, but he still felt palpitations. This feeling made him feel ashamed, so he couldn't help but move a small step to the side.

The stick still pointed at him, and Dagon kept the lock with only a smaller movement. Dagon said, "Please watch, I'll demonstrate it. Don't hide, I won't hit you."

Step forward, leaned forward, and stabbed - the movement was so simple and straightforward. The stick stopped in front of Hanmodom, about half a meter away from his throat, and there was no killing at all, but he staggered backward, and his butt hit the stove, which made him so hot that he jumped up.

"Ouch! My Aoli's hammer!" He quickly walked to the side, turned his head to look at his butt, and slapped one hand in the hot place. "Huh! Huh! Fortunately it wasn't burning!"

Dagon smiled and said, "Just paste it, how could it be ignited? What burns in it is wood, not magma."

"It was so scary just now. You don't feel anything if you are not here." Hanmodum pulled the end of his beard with one hand to relieve his emotions, and then said, "What should I say? At that moment, the tip of the stick seemed to disappear."

"Thank you for the compliment, but the stick didn't disappear. It was a fake move, and it was something you were going to practice. I slowed down the motion and you looked at it, it was roughly like this."

Holding the stick's hands form a lever, and then push and stab. The movements look very simple when you slow down, as if you can.

"It looks very..." Hanmodom gently patted his cheek with his hand, indicating that he had said the wrong thing. "I don't think I can master this move for long."

Dagon nodded: "Yes, this action is not difficult to understand. It is so simple in principle. But if you want to fully master it and make it pose enough threat, it also requires a lot of practice. However, compared with other martial arts, this one has the least expansion. It can be said that a movement is a system. Come on, you use a scabbard to imitate the elves' scimitar."

"I'm not as fast as an elves." After two hours of ravage, Hanmodom knew that he could not hurt Dagon, so he waved his scabbard without any psychological burden.

He first cut towards Dagon, and Dagon took a half step back, then swung the stick slightly, avoiding the arc of the scabbard, and then stabbed it, winning. So Hanmodom chopped towards the stick, trying to suppress it or push it apart, and then attack. But Dagon's stick moved in the direction that was knocked open, circled a semicircle, and still formed a hit first.

"I didn't use the fastest speed." Dagon put away his stick and stood on the ground, and then said, "The faster you are, I will be. The ones that can hit are to grab distance and save distance. The scimitar slashed over and looked fierce enough, but it needed to move a lot of distance to cause damage. In the entire slashing route, the only thing that is really threatening is the end. From raising the knife to the end of this threat, the entire path consumes time to obtain distance."

"The piercing is about grabbing. In order to get distance and time, you can't even use all your strength or use all your strength. Only by sure you can dig in, you can have all your strength... However, in the martial arts assessment, the model weapon cannot do that step." Dagon said: "There is not enough time, you can only concentrate on learning. This is the most suitable skill for you."

"Is this a skill? It doesn't look pretty at all." Hanmodom explained, tugging at the beard, "I'm not saying that this move is not good, I just think it looks very plain...or a little too plain."

"The only gorgeousness on the battlefield is standing as a winner." Dagon smiled faintly. This smile is forever engraved in Hanmodom's memory.

"I have nothing to say, and I have no other choice. Of course I am convinced of your martial arts." Hanmodom said: "I will do whatever you say. If you have any questions, then wait until the exam fails."

"Haha, I don't guarantee that you will pass. If you want to get a good grade, you must first adapt to the weight of your armor and not let your opponent feel that you can delay time and directly drag you down. If you want to find a way to let the elf accept the draw, it is actually the best for you."

"Well, although I don't understand, I will do it."

"There is still some time left. You can find a way to get some counterweight chains back, and then prepare a target to practice assassination. Let's talk about the specific details of the movement tomorrow." Dagon said: "Although I still have a course on the magic priest, they are busy with assault before the exam and ignore me at all, so there is no need for me to go. I still won't go out recently, just knock on the door and come to find me."

"Thank you so much," said Hanmodom. "I'll treat you to dinner, three meals a day on time!"

"It's enough to give it once. I don't need to always eat hot food, and three times are too wasteful. In addition, don't use the word dwarf. People in Jian Gucheng use the title of Jian Gu tribe."

Dagon looked at Hanmodom's back as he left, and didn't know how long this Jiangu tribe could last. However, as long as he was still persisting, Dagon would teach him well and strive to give him a good result.

Before coming to Minamilis, many people had said bad things about elite academy, such as the Jiangu people would become waste here, and for example, they could not learn useful things here. Only the father firmly believed that having the ability means having the ability. As long as a person works hard, even if he cannot achieve great success, he will definitely not become waste.

This firm confidence was also in Dagon's heart, which reduced his fear of the academy. Through observation of the academy, Dagon did find that the course arrangements here are more suitable for elves, more suitable for wizards and cursive swordsmen, and are not friendly to the Jiangu people. In the academy, elves are the most comfortable, and humans and half-elves are also doing well with their excellent adaptability and faster learning speed. The half-elves are specially taken care of because of their small size, so they are not under much pressure.

The Jiangu people's learning progress is slower, and they cannot polish the courses that they are not suitable for, especially because they do not have that long life span, so they hit walls everywhere. Dagon feels that they must improve themselves. If they can adapt and learn as quickly as humans and polish the technology like elves, that would be great.

No matter when it is time to improve oneself, it is just that the Jiangu people will still suffer unfair treatment from elves in the academy. For example, martial arts assessment, according to Hanmodom, the examination environment is always dense forest, the light is always dusk, and two students or two groups of students always start to stay away from each other. If you want to be fair, both parties must choose the environment once, right? Why is a completely dark underground tunnel not an option?

"It's useless to say this to the mentor." Hanmodom answered at the time. The people of Jiangu tribe were not angry, and the same was true for Dagon, but he had been trained as a weapon master and knew one truth, that is, the battlefield was not fair, and it was always unfair.

What the weapon masters need to do is to solve injustice and let the warriors know the correct method, so as to exert their "at least fair" combat effectiveness. The academy has designed rules for martial arts assessment, which is beneficial to the elves, but can also be beneficial to the Jiangu people. As long as the correct method is found, it is enough.

Within the rules, Dagon is confident that Hanmodom will fight at least one "all draw". If the elf instructor in charge of the assessment cheats, Hanmodom will at least have reason to question and fight for his own rights this time, rather than just letting it go as before.

He is not afraid of elves cheating, but afraid that the Jiangu people will not dare to speak out after being bullied - if this is the case, there is really no hope. Hanmodom is Dagon's touchstone, the small stone thrown out when exploring the way. If he can pass the assessment, he can at least rekindle his confidence and give him more strength to resist the legendary "erosion and corruption" in the academy. If the elves use means to try to make his efforts in vain, Dagon also hopes to ignite Hanmodom's spirit of resistance, or at least develop fighting spirit through anger, which is not bad.

The college will change the Jiangu people. If Dagon is not worried about this at all, it is not correct. Even if many people are not optimistic about the college, for themselves and their parents' expectations and trust, Dagon cannot graduate from the college with the attributes of "waste". He has made plans and used the time for the freshmen to prepare for basic quality assessment to observe the college and try to understand the routines inside. He is not alone, he has Red to give advice. On the issue of the college, Ride is very confident. He said that as long as he takes care of himself, the elf will never "spoil" Dagon.
