Chapter 11 Little Horio



Soon, the public carriage arrived with the ringing of bells. The polished copper handles, the crystal clear ribbons and the polite driver all made Du Yuqi feel very fresh. He had already asked about it when buying milk tea. If you want to learn ordinary 0th or 1st level swordsmanship, there are at least five or six swordsmanship gyms in the capital of Heartonmar where you can learn it. However, if you want to learn the second-level or above sword (knife) skills, you must go to the corresponding professional instructor to learn. It all depends on chance. Even if you find it, it may not be what you want.

The only place where one can systematically learn various professional skills is at the military academy established by the country with the whole country's strength. Currently, the most famous one is the Delos Military Academy. The students who come out of it are the backbone of the army and have become the backbone of the army. Their combat power is far stronger than that of soldiers of the same level. This is one of the reasons why the Delos Empire has always been able to dominate the continent.

At the same time, due to the success of the military academy established by the Delos Empire, other countries followed suit. However, it is not so easy to get in. Not only does it require high talent from the students, but they are also required to be loyal when entering the school and make sacrifices when necessary.

As a summoned creature, Du Yuqi certainly has no intention of entering the military academy. For him currently, the best way to learn basic swordsmanship is to go to a swordsmanship gym. It is convenient, fast and saves trouble. There is a swordsmanship gym next to the third stop that the public carriage is about to arrive at.

Of course, the most surprising thing is that this public carriage is very large, at least the size of a bus. The various decorations and tables and chairs inside are also quite exquisite, but it can be towed by only two horses. It looks very easy. After asking, Du Yuqi found out that there is a special magic circle at the bottom of this public carriage, which can continuously absorb the energy of the crystal blocks placed in it, so as to reduce the weight of the carriage!

Listening to the clatter of horse hooves on the streets of Baishi, Du Yuqi was swaying comfortably in the carriage, admiring the street scene of Hearton Mar. To be honest, this was the first time since he was summoned that he had such a leisurely time enjoying the sunshine, delicious food, and experiencing the customs of this alien world.

The public carriage ran fast and steadily, and soon stopped at the place where Du Yuqi wanted to go. The coachman got out, opened the door, and charged fifteen copper coins. After getting off the car, Du Yuqi looked around and found that this was a straight street that could accommodate more than ten carriages at the same time.

The west side of the street is the way we came from, and about five or six hundred meters to the east is the huge central square of Hettonmar. In the center of the square, there is a large mermaid sculpture with crystal light shining in its eyes, and it is spraying water into the air, forming a beautiful water painting in the sun. You can still vaguely see the crowds laughing and sightseeing in the square.

The shops on the street can be said to be dazzling, but similar to the ones on Earth, most of them sell clothes and food. After all, people's needs are nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. There are also many roadside stalls on the street, shouting loudly, and they are very popular.

Du Yuqi walked around and found the place he was looking for. It was clearly written "Horio Kendo Hall". The gate of the kendo hall was decorated very elegantly. There was a doorman wearing white gloves standing at the door. He was very polite. After listening to Du Yuqi's purpose of visit, he asked him to change his shoes before entering.

After entering the kendo hall, you can see a strange crystal-driven machine blowing out cool air continuously. This should be the air conditioning of the continent of Arad, but there is no noise. The floor of the kendo hall feels very clean, and the wooden floor is almost spotless.

In the middle of the gym is an arena with practice areas around it. There are several students holding wooden swords, some are sitting cross-legged on the ground meditating, some are being instructed, and some are practicing with dummies and shouting loudly. At first glance, you can feel that there is a thick atmosphere.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked out slowly and stood in front of Du Yuqi. The middle-aged man was wearing loose green wide-leg pants, his hair was combed up very neatly, he was wearing a tight brown vest, a pair of flip-flops on his feet, and a black glove on his left hand. His eyes were bright and he looked at Du Yuqi and said:

"I'm the gym owner, Horio. Are you here to learn 0th or 1st level swordsmanship?"

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"That's right."

Little Horio said:

"Level 0 or 1 swordsmanship requires the perception of the energy in the body before it can be used. Show me an uppercut."

As he said that, he threw a wooden sword over.

Du Yuqi had been practicing swordsmanship diligently in the past few days. At this moment, he held the hilt of the wooden sword as if he was holding an old friend. At the signal of little Horio, he aimed at the dummy next to him and slashed it upwards. A faint light could be seen flashing on the dull blade of the wooden sword. It was the upward slash that was made after consuming the original force.

Little Horio saw that Du Yuqi's skills were impeccable, as if they had been tempered a thousand times, so he nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad. It can be seen that you have worked hard on the basic swordsmanship. You have been practicing swordsmanship for at least ten years, right?"

Du Yuqi had no way of responding to what little Horio said and could only say a few "yeah"s to get by.

Then little Horio was heard saying:

"Since you haven't awakened the power of ghosts and gods in your body and are not a ghost swordsman, then you can't learn the 0th and 1st level swordsmanship, such as Ghost Slash and Kazan of the Sword Soul. These require the consumption of ghosts and gods' power. So do you have a target swordsmanship that you want to learn?"

Du Yuqi had also learned a lot of information from the games on Earth before. Although this information might be outdated, he still asked tentatively:

"I wonder if you, the gym leader, could teach me the Mountain Collapse Strike?"

Du Yuqi had seen Instructor Golas perform the Mountain Collapse Strike before. The extremely powerful momentum and the crazy and furious bloodiness left a deep impression on him.

Little Horio frowned and said seriously:

"If you learn Mountain Collapse, you will usually learn Blood Cross and practice Greatsword Mastery together. You will also need to prepare crystal-driven gloves that increase your own strength and prepare for the advanced Berserker. Are you sure you made the right choice?"

Du Yuqi had been in the hospital for a long time and had come into contact with many different kinds of people. After observing their expressions, he immediately knew that little Horio was probably not very familiar with the Collapse of Mountains. He came here to learn, not to quarrel, so he immediately nodded humbly and said:

"Yes, Master, you are right. I am glad to hear your advice. Then I wonder what sword techniques you are good at?"

Little Horio said proudly:

"Our Horio family has been transformed into Devil May Cry Swordsmen for generations, so we are naturally good at this type of swordsmanship. I have already mastered the Devil Slash and the Soul Blade Kazan to perfection, and the Moonlight Slash is about to advance to the Full Moon Slash. I have also already comprehended the edge of the mystery of the Frost Saya."

Du Yuqi was of course a little depressed after hearing this. Frost Saya seems to be the exclusive skill of Devil May Cry. I can't learn the Ghost Slash and Kazan of Sword Soul that you specialize in. And the only sword technique left from level 0 to 1 should be Moonlight Slash. There is no choice at all, okay?

But having a choice is better than having no choice, so Du Yuqi said decisively:

"Then I will learn Moonlight Slash, right?"
