Before the two men reached her, He Jiuniang called out, "Watch carefully!"
As he spoke, he took out the cinnabar pen with his other hand.
There was no response from below, because they knew how fast He Jiuniang was and dared not be distracted. They kept their eyes fixed on the front, afraid of missing the most important moment.
At this moment, the two had already made their moves, attacking from both sides. In that critical moment, neither of them wanted to miss the opportunity.
However, He Jiuniang slowed down this time to demonstrate for everyone, so that everyone could clearly see how she dodged the attack and how she made her move.
Then, everyone could see more clearly just how miraculous He Jiu Niang really was.
Not only was she fast, but more importantly, she could predict the moves of two opponents. Before they even made a move, she had already prepared her defenses. She could even find the opponent's weaknesses while defending and then seize the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
He Jiuniang never made any feints; she always struck vital points. Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. How could she be so accurate at locating the vital points of a person?
The two people who came up to demonstrate did not stop because they were marked. Instead, they followed He Jiuniang's orders and continued to make moves. As a result, He Jiuniang marked all the vital points on their bodies, making their whole bodies look red.
If this were real, the two of them would have died countless times already.
When He Jiuniang was competing against ten people, her movements were so fast that they were blurry, and no one could see the specific moves clearly. The shock was just an admiration for how fast she was.
But this direct instruction elevated He Jiuniang's standing among the soldiers by several notches.
Some people were initially a little unconvinced, thinking that He Jiuniang was just a bit too fast, but now they've been proven wrong. It's not that speed alone guarantees success; there's a lot more to her moves than meets the eye.
The most unbelievable thing is that He Jiuniang had already deliberately slowed down her movements and even took the time to eat fruit, but the two people were marked all over their bodies, so you can imagine how tragic their deaths were!
Now they were certain that He Jiuniang could easily handle not only the previous ten, but even dozens more.
As He Jiuniang put down her pen, only one pit remained of the fruit in her hand. Immediately, someone stepped forward to remove the pit and even brought her a damp cloth to wipe her hands.
He Jiuniang didn't stand on ceremony with them. After wiping her hands clean, she asked, "Now you can tell me what you just discovered."
"I'll handle this! Sister-in-law, besides being quick, you can also see through their moves, making it a piece of cake!"
"Right, right! You don't even know them, and this is your first time fighting them. How did you guess what moves they were going to make?"
"That's not all, but to be able to strike the opponent's vitals directly when they're off guard—how did they manage to be so precise!"
...
Everyone spoke enthusiastically, raising their own questions. Upon closer listening, the others realized just how amazing He Jiuniang was; she could do things they couldn't even imagine.
And it's the kind of thing that can be done very easily!
He Jiuniang raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Sure enough, the entire training ground fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to answer their questions.
She cleared her throat and began to answer everyone's questions one by one: "Speed and reaction are inseparable, and to react quickly, you have to think quickly."
"You're right, I don't know any of them, but why am I familiar with their moves? Because I've considered all the possibilities. You don't need to think too much about the person facing you, because you can see their movements. Just seize their weakness and attack. Pay special attention to targets outside your line of sight. For example, what should I do if someone attacks my back, or my shoulder? How can I dodge a frontal attack while simultaneously dodging an attack from behind, and then take advantage of the moment when the person in front isn't paying attention to counterattack? These things need to be mastered during regular training. If you only start thinking about these things on the battlefield, you'll only end up dead on the battlefield."
"So here's the key point: how do you know what moves someone outside your line of sight will use, and how do you respond? It's actually quite simple. Most of the time, the people attacking you are a group, which means their moves are roughly the same. You can judge the others based on the moves of the person directly in front of you, and then counter their moves accordingly."
"And how to dismantle it specifically, and how to strike the enemy's vitals, is what I'm going to teach you."
He Jiuniang spoke a lot in one breath, and felt a little thirsty, so she took a sip of tea.
Wow, the water temperature is just right, the tea is fragrant, and the taste lingers in your mouth.
Indeed, there is no such thing as a clueless straight man in this world; it all comes down to whether the other person cares about you or not.
Now that they want to learn these moves from He Jiuniang, they naturally care about her more than ever.
After finishing her drink, she continued, "Those who want to learn from me must have the right attitude and be diligent. Most importantly, use these techniques on the battlefield, not against your own people. I taught you all, so I consider you half a master. If you ever have any thoughts of betrayal, I won't hesitate to destroy them myself."
Not everyone in this military camp is good; there are bound to be traitors among them. Her biggest worry is that the people of Dongting will find out about her techniques.
That's why she insisted on living in the military camp, so that she could monitor everyone's behavior, investigate internal spies, and nip any bad signs in the bud.
Her method is the most systematic training for assassins in postmodern times. Although it is somewhat formulaic, it is quick to learn and very effective, making it very suitable for this team.
"Yes, I'll do whatever you say, sister-in-law!"
The crowd's voices were loud and clear, filled with excitement; they felt that they were not far from being promoted and making a fortune.
On the first day, He Jiuniang didn't want to make things too strenuous or have them wield weapons. Instead, she wanted them to play a few light and fun games.
It mainly tests your reaction speed.
It may seem childish, but it is very effective in training reaction skills. Everyone started to take it seriously and even became very competitive, determined to beat their opponents.
He Jiuniang sat on the front stage and watched everyone's reactions.
Suddenly, she noticed that Li Dazhuang was still standing beside her and asked, "Why aren't you going?"
"Reporting to sister-in-law, the general's order is for me to protect you!"
Li Dazhuang was Lu Baichuan's subordinate, not a soldier in the camp, so he was not required to participate in training.
He Jiuniang said, "I don't need protection. You should also practice. You can't let everyone else improve while you stay in the same place. You came from Huoyun Division with Baichuan. You'll only have more opportunities to climb the ranks in the future. If you hone your skills, everything will be fine."
I went to get my wisdom teeth pulled today, and I'm still feeling groggy. I'm only just getting up to type this now, so please be patient! I still have three more teeth to pull, and I feel like I'm about to give up on life.
