Chapter 485 Divine Song
Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin both used rapiers, but because of their different heights, the lengths of their rapiers were different, and their styles were also different.
The former takes the approach of direct attack, while the latter tends to be quick and strange. When the two styles are put together, one person is responsible for the direct attack to delay the enemy, and the other one makes a surprise attack from the side. It can be said to be an unusual combination of strange and normal.
With Chen Chuan's current physical condition, no matter how much he lowers his expression, it is impossible to reduce it to the second limit.
But he also discovered that by using his mental power to guide him, he could precisely coordinate his body and keep his own strength in the appropriate position he needed.
Even the senses can be lowered below a certain level under conscious influence.
In the past, he had always thought that for those who possessed great strength, the higher their strength, the greater their daily consumption would be. Just to maintain their own physiological functions would probably require a considerable amount of energy and nutritional intake, not to mention when fighting.
He has a second self who can lower his expression, but how do those people do it?
Now he understood that if one knew how to use spiritual power, then he could set limits for himself and maintain his body at a certain level.
But in this situation, he did not take advantage of his strength and speed, and the only thing he could rely on at this moment was his fighting skills.
However, even if his body is adjusted to the same level as Pan and Qi, his experience is still there, his fighting skills are still there, and his combat observation ability has not been weakened. This cannot be reduced, but how can there be true fairness in fighting, or can it be said that this is the only normal thing.
He casually stretched out his hand and pushed away Pan Xiaode's rapier, and the latter seized the opportunity and stabbed with the other rapier.
However, at the moment when Chen Chuan made the move, the center of gravity of his body changed quietly. He looked like he was going to retreat, but in an instant, he took the initiative to rush forward, avoiding the stabbing sword and rushing in directly.
Qi Huixin, who had moved to the side, was shaken by him. The sword she had intended to thrust out was halfway. If she kept the same momentum, it would definitely miss. She had no choice but to adjust herself and then catch up, but this made her very uncomfortable.
After Chen Chuan reached the inside, he stretched out his hand, seemingly aiming to grab Pan Xiaode's wrist. The latter retreated decisively, while raising his sword upwards, trying to cut his arm.
But Chen Chuan seemed to have known that he would do this. He suddenly slapped his palm to the side and hit the sword's spine one step ahead of time. At the same time, his other elbow was slightly raised. Pan Xiaode was startled and felt that he was going to attack his face, so he immediately leaned back to avoid it.
Chen Chuan, however, crouched down and rushed over from the position he had vacated, and used Pan Xiaode's body to block Qi Huixin's path as she turned to the back, causing the latter's adjusted rapier to still not be delivered smoothly.
And no matter how he fought afterwards, he always made sure to face one of them instead of letting them surround him.
In fact, if any two people faced him, even if they were of the same physical fitness, they would be beaten by him in just two or three moves with their bare hands. But if they took up weapons and cooperated with each other, they would be able to deal with him now.
The two seemed to be in tune with each other, cooperating very well with each other and performing at their best.
Tan Zhi gave them the first-floor hall and stood on the second-floor observation deck. From his perspective, the three people were moving all the time.
Pan and Qi tried their best to occupy an advantageous position, surround Chen Chuan, or force him into a corner, but Chen Chuan always managed to get out of the circle where they had not yet formed a united force.
If the two wanted to retreat and adjust, Chen Chuan would attack one of them first, forcing the other to come to the rescue, resulting in the loss of initiative. This situation often happened, mainly because Chen Chuan took the initiative in the battle.
Pan and Qi had thought of using this to lure Chen Chuan in, but after Chen Chuan saw through their plan after several attempts, they had no choice but to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.
Tan Zhi could clearly see the battle. He couldn't help but wonder, what would have been different if he had joined in earlier? Would he have had a chance of winning?
He immediately shook his head and decided to give up. He had a clear understanding of himself and there was no cooperation between him and these two. Going up like this would only cause more trouble. He might even be the one that was breached.
This looks good, it can broaden your horizons and save you some energy.
The battle lasted for more than an hour and only stopped when Pan and Qi gave up voluntarily.
Although the time was not long, they felt extremely exhausted. The most exhausted was not physical strength, but mental strength. They had to concentrate on cooperating with each other at all times and think about how to deal with the next step and the next step. In the short training process, they felt the long-lost fatigue.
Originally, they thought that when both sides' physical performance was the same, they didn't think they had no chance of winning. However, Chen Chuan attacked their loopholes and flaws every time, which made them realize that the difference between them and Chen Chuan was not only physical fitness, but also the all-round gap in eyesight, judgment, experience, etc.
Fortunately, the attack and defense just now were all within their understanding. They felt that they had gained more from this one hour of attack and defense than they had gained in a year. When they go back to review it and digest it carefully, they should be able to make great progress.
Pan Xiaode was very happy and expressed his gratitude sincerely, saying, "Student Chen, thank you so much." Qi Huixin nodded.
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Nothing."
Tan Zhi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's take a break and have a few drinks." He brought down a few bottles of stamina-boosting drinks and handed them to the three people.
After the three of them sat back on the sofa, he took out a deck of cards and said, "The musical starts at 3 pm, but you need to enter early. You three can have lunch here. After that, we can play a few games and then go to the theater."
Pan Xiaode asked, "What's the name of this musical?"
"Foreign names are hard to remember. It translates to 'Song of the Desolate Realm'."
"Yes, that's it. I've heard about it many times, but I've never seen it. What's the story?"
Tan Zhi said: "It is said to be a true love and revenge story in Nordland."
He told me the story, which was about a knight who found an ancient divine poem while resting in a cave in the wilderness during the Nordland Kingdom period.
The knight saw at a glance that the fighting skills of ancient heroes were hidden inside, so he was ecstatic and returned to present them to his king.
However, the court swordsman and several great nobles could not see anything from it, seeing it was just an ordinary scroll of poetry, so they concluded that the knight was a liar.
The king was very angry and had the knight's limbs smashed with stones and abandoned in the wilderness, but he was picked up and taken care of by a kind-hearted mute shepherdess.
The down-and-out knight was not willing to give up. After much effort, he composed the divine poem into a song and sang it on the roadside every day, hoping that the nobles and merchants passing by could understand him.
But no one understood him, no one comprehended him, and they even laughed at him. As he sang day after day, his singing was heard by the daughter of a small noble who was passing by, and she heard the heroic fighting skills in his singing.
The noblewoman then approached the down-and-out knight on her own initiative. She was moved by the knight's spirit and promised him that she would help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.
After the noblewoman had learned all the chapters she could understand from him, she went to the royal court alone, obtained the title by relying on her own force, and also won enough glory for her family.
But after confirming her own martial arts skills, the noble woman's mentality changed. She didn't want anyone else to know such skills, so she sent people back to kill the down-and-out knight.
But she didn't know that the shepherdess who had been taking care of the knight, although she could not sing, had silently learned those chapters. After capturing the attacking enemy, she forced the enemy to tell her the reason. The knight sang the last chapter in anger and gratitude to the shepherdess.
The shepherdess then put on tattered knight's armor and rushed to the king's palace with a rusty spear. There, the two women started a fight that almost overturned the royal court.
"The Divine Song of the Wasteland" can be said to be a classic piece, and when it is performed, real fighters play the roles of heroes and villains respectively, and the actors all stand out from the competition of thousands of people.
To be honest, if the musical itself could not attract them too much, they were very much looking forward to the fights between the fighters in the musical. And the real selling point of the musical was that the songs were said to be the songs given by God and passed down by the original protagonist of the story.
The whole play consists of thirteen chapters, and each chapter has a divine song. It is said that there were many masters in history who got a glimpse of the secrets from it and were inspired.
But so far no one has been able to hear the true and complete content from it. But the more so, the more attractive it is to watch. Not to mention fighters, it also has a strong appeal to ordinary people. After all, everyone has a dream hidden in their heart. Maybe you are the one who can understand it?
"Many politicians and company executives will be there this time," Tan Zhi said, throwing out a card. "We need to get there early. If we're late, we might get stuck in traffic."
Pan Xiaode added a photo and said, "I hope it's really as great as it's said to be."
Chen Chuan glanced at the cards in his hand, took one and followed out. He said, "From the introduction, the two leading actors are both third-level fighters, so it's worth watching."
The three of them nodded, it was indeed true.
After having a sumptuous lunch prepared by Tan Zhi, the four of them went out and drove straight to Weiguang District.
The musical will be performed at the Xihui Opera House, which can accommodate 3,000 spectators and often hosts concerts and dance performances. Because of its excellent acoustics, some large-scale radio programs are also recorded here.
As we were on the road, we saw a denser traffic than usual. Advertisements on the tall buildings on both sides were playing introductions and advertisements about the Wasteland God Song, and also played a music excerpt to show the moving voices of the singers and dancers.
Even though they set out early, they didn't arrive here until almost two o'clock.
