Godsend Field

Chapter 17 The Old Man

Two months have passed, but the day of magic is still the hottest topic among people before dinner and after tea.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Do you know? My son, Gist, is a genius at the Imperial College of Wales. He is still a magician this year, and he even defeated the senior swordsman of their school. Come, come here, Let me tell you more about it.” In the Exchange in Kiel Town, a fat businessman sat at a table in the information area and started to talk, surrounded by hunters, mercenaries and residents who came here.

"Is it strange that a magician beat a high-level swordsman?" one of the hunters asked casually.

"Not surprising? You country bumpkin, don't even know the difference between a magician and a high-level swordsman?" The fat businessman raised his eyebrows, "Master, I am in a good mood today, so I will tell you bumpkins. This is in our mainland Come on, magicians are divided into nine levels. The first and second levels are called magic apprentices, which means they have just learned magic; the third and fourth levels are called magicians. My son Gist is a fourth-level magician Haha, he became a magician in less than 12 years, and according to this momentum, my son will definitely become the greatest magician in the future."

"Cut!!" The onlookers booed disdainfully at the same time!
The fat businessman didn't care, and continued to talk happily, "The fifth and sixth levels are called great magicians. After reaching this level, you can graduate from the Imperial Academy and enter the academy to continue your studies. At the same time, the imperial court and The army will recruit! When you reach the seventh and eighth-level wizards, it will be even more amazing. Not only can you get title gold coins, but you can also be accepted by the king and become an official court magician! If you make further progress and become A ninth-level magister, that's even more terrifying, he..." At this point, the fat man stopped, reached out and picked up the teacup on the table and slowly put it to his mouth, deliberately whetting everyone's appetite.

"What's wrong with him? Tell me quickly!" Many people in the crowd yelled, complaining that the fat businessman was playing tricks.

"With a wave of his hand, he can level a mountain; with a single spell, he can destroy a city. You say horror is not scary," the fat man said while making a frightened expression.

"Wow" the crowd is boiling!

The fat businessman is obviously very satisfied with the result!

"Cough! Cough!" After two sounds, the crowd gradually quieted down

"Just now I was talking about a magician. Now I'm talking about a swordsman. A swordsman and a knight are actually the same. It all depends on the level of fighting spirit cultivation. Those who have first-level and second-level fighting spirit are called apprentice swordsmen; Only those with level [-] and level [-] fighting spirit are called swordsmen; generally, people with level [-] fighting spirit will be invited by the national army, at least they can be a captain. Those with level [-] and level [-] fighting spirit are called swordsmen. Senior swordsmen, do you know that the palace guards of our empire are all composed of high-level swordsmen, even the guards of the Faran Empire are inferior to ours! And those who have level [-] and level [-] vindictiveness are called big swordsmen. Sword master; those who have level nine Dou Qi are called Sword Emperors, which are top-level existences. Looking at our continent, there are only a few Sword Emperors!"

After the fat man finished speaking in one breath, he took a sip of water, "So, my son, a magician, can defeat a senior swordsman of a higher level than him. Tell me, is he a genius, hahaha!"

At this time, a businessman wearing a round hat with a wide brim walked into the news area, glanced at it, and shouted at the crowd, "Anfeller, you are not finished. In the past three days, you have said it eight times. , if it wasn't for the day of magic, would your son have defeated the high-level swordsman? My goods are packed, how about you? Go back to Ancona as soon as possible, don't lie to the country people here!"

"Heh! Heh! Tinanko" the fat businessman named Anfeller stood up and pushed away the crowd, "Okay, I'm going to set off, next year I will collect the magic core, and I will explain it to you in detail then. How my son Gist defeated that high-ranking swordsman." After finishing speaking, he pulled Tinanko out together.

In Yier Village, Tianci, Nero and other friends are exercising hard in the square.The adults have all gone to Kiel Town to sell prey, and it is estimated that it will take fourteen or five days to return.These children are also very self-conscious, and no one takes advantage of the absence of adults to be lazy.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the weather was very muggy. The children were shirtless, sweating all over their heads and bodies.Line up neatly, waving wooden swords in their hands, neatly, just like training in the army.

During the break in the middle, everyone returned to their childlike nature, ran to the shade of a nearby tree, and chatted chirpingly.

"Nile, you are so powerful. You have already cultivated your battle qi. Uncle Anrui said that it will take me at least three years to develop your battle qi." One of the younger children said to Nero enviously.

"Yes! Yes! You are now the number one expert among us!" The friends all echoed!

"How can it be, how can it be?" Nero smiled innocently, "My brother trained two years earlier than me, so he should be better than me."

"How could it be? I've never heard that Brother Tianci practiced Dou Qi. How could he be stronger than you?" A friend asked questioningly.

"That's not the case. I heard from my father that my brother can't practice fighting qi because of his talent, but he can practice other things. My father taught my brother a set of three-character tactics! I heard that my father's master is me. Kung Fu is the most important skill of our ancestors!" Nero explained.

"This is not easy? I'm going to call Brother Tianci, don't you guys know after a little bit of a competition?" Saying that, a little friend stood up and ran towards the woods.

After a while, Tianci and the child came to the square.

"Brother" Nero went forward and said obediently, "They want to know which of us is better, and they said let's have a competition, what do you think?"

"Okay, we have never competed before! Dad and Uncle Claire will also compete frequently. Doesn't it mean that only by competing frequently can we improve?" Tianci is also very happy. Since the beginning of training, only Anrui and Tianci have played against each other. They are still guiding Tianci, except for the fact that Tianci has never competed with the others. Today is just a chance to verify his own level, and Tianci of course readily agrees.

"Okay!" The little friends burst into excitement, imitating the adults and forming a circle, surrounding Tianci and Nero in the middle.

Nero clenched his small fist across his chest and made a polite gesture. Judging from his movements, Nero should have often fought with people, but Tianci responded bluntly with a polite gesture.

Because Godsend was old, Nero attacked first.

The distance between the two was not far away, and Nero straightened his sword and stabbed straight at Tianci's chest, stably and accurately, which shows that Nero's basic skills are quite solid at ordinary times.Tianci made a dodge, moved his footwork to the left, and reached out to grab Nero's right hand holding the sword.With a twist of Nero's wrist, the wooden sword came across out of nowhere, and swept straight at Tianci, who lightly flashed past.

Tianci has been practicing the 'Hiding' and 'Stick' formulas since he practiced Kung Fu, but has never been exposed to 'Strike', so he has never had his own weapon.And Nero practiced basic sword skills, mainly attacking.Therefore, since the start of the competition, it has been one-sided, with Nero attacking and Godsend dodging!

"Brush" "Brush" "Brush"

Nero made three quick attacks with three swords, aiming at Tianci's eyes, left chest and abdomen respectively.

Tianci can move freely among hundreds of sacks, how can Nile's sword touch Tianci?With the flash of Godsend, Nero's three swords all failed.And Niro was relatively relaxed at this time, because Tianci's attack was almost negligible to him, so Niro used all his offensive moves to attack Tianci one by one.Under Niro's incisive attack, the whole process was like Niro's exhibition match.

It can be said that Tianci has a first-rate dodge and a poor third-rate attack.

The two brothers fought back and forth for forty or fifty rounds, but neither side met anyone. . . . . .

"Come on Nero!!"

"God-given brother, attack!!"

The friends around were obviously a little impatient and started making noise!
Tianci is also a little anxious, he has practiced for two years more than Nero, and usually works harder than Nero, at this moment, there is nothing he can do about Nero, except to dodge or dodge!Godsend, the more I think about it, the more dissatisfied I become, and I gradually become irritable!Forget all the tips that Anrui said at the beginning!

Another ten rounds passed.

Nero's oblique strike aimed at Tianci's right shoulder, but his left arm was outstretched and had not yet retracted.Tianci dodged the slash and suddenly saw that Nero's arms were outstretched, and there was a emptiness in the middle, a good opportunity! !Tianci posted it without even thinking about it, hoping to fight in close quarters.

Nero has always played boldly, always taking the initiative to attack instead of defending. He didn't want God to come close to him.

"Zi!Zi!"

Nero glowed with a grayish light all over his body. . . . . .

At this moment, Tianci was almost sticking to Niro's side, and was about to attack Niro, when suddenly his body seemed to hit a layer of diaphragm, blocking Tianci firmly, and could no longer get close to Niro.

"No, it's the protective layer formed by fighting spirit!!"

Before training with Anrui, Anrui never used vindictiveness, so Tianci never thought that the vindictiveness developed by a warrior can form a protective layer around the body.

"Back!!" Tianci's first reaction.

At this time, Nero's arms had been retracted, and at the same time as Tianci retreated suddenly, Nero's wooden sword pierced straight out.Tianci, who was leaping back, had no chance to dodge, and could only watch helplessly as the tip of the sword hit his left shoulder heavily!
"boom!"

Tianci lost his balance in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"It's okay, brother." Nero put away his sword and ran over quickly to help Tianci on the ground.

"It's okay." Tianci stood up and patted the dust on his body.

"Okay! Okay!" The partners yelled and rushed over in a swarm, surrounding Nero.

"Nile, you are so powerful, even your brother is no match for you!"

"Let me just say, Nero will definitely win, you still don't believe it!"

"Nile, teach us too!"

Everyone surrounded Ni Luo, chattering and chattering became lively, making Ni Luo overwhelmed.

Tianci wiped off the dust on his body, looked at the star-studded Nero, left the square in despair, and returned to the pile of sacks that left him with countless sweats.

Jumping on the wooden stake, Tianci felt very aggrieved for some reason, but couldn't say anything, tears flowed out in a 'wow'. "Ah~~" Tianci yelled, and smashed his fists hard on the sack as if venting.

"The man bleeds, sweats and doesn't shed tears! You usually look good, but why did you become wilted at the critical moment? You became a woman?" The old voice sounded out of thin air.

"Who?" Tianci was shocked, stopped his fist, and looked around vigilantly!

A figure appeared in front of Tianci at an extremely fast speed!
The speed of the movement shocked Tianci!A few seconds later, Tianci came back to his senses and looked at the unexpected guest.

A sturdy old man, staring at Tianci with piercing eyes, gray eyebrows on both sides hanging down to the cheekbones, messy hair and beard, wearing a gray coarse cloth robe, the bottom of the robe has been frayed, and behind his hands back.

"You, who are you? Why are you here?"

"Not bad! Not bad! It's back to normal so soon." The old man seemed to have not heard the question from God, and said to himself.

"Is your name Tianci?"

"it's me!"

"Your father's name is An Rui?"

"Yes, you know my father?"

"I know! Is he doing well now!"

"Of course, my father is the most powerful hunter in the village. All the kung fu in the village was taught by my father." Tianci replied proudly with his chest out.

"Hmph!" The old man's forehead tightened, and he said fiercely, "A dignified sixth-level Chaos Dou Qi warrior actually went to be a hunter! What a good job he did!"

Tianci wanted to continue talking, but when he saw the old man getting angry, he immediately shut his mouth!
"You were competing with your younger brother just now, right?" The old man returned to his leisurely look.
"Well, my younger brother is very talented. He has already practiced Dou Qi at the age of nine."

"Nine years old, um, this talent is very good." A smile appeared on the old man's face, "I think you should be very unwilling to lose!"

When it came to the pain point, Tianci lowered his head, "Dad said that I was born unable to use Dou Qi, and my younger brother's talent is not even comparable to Dad's. Even if he loses, there is nothing to say." Tears glistened in his eyes as he spoke.

"Hmph! No future." The old man was a little angry again, "If I read correctly, your father taught you the three-character formula!"

"Well, Dad said this is more suitable for me, and it is the most powerful kung fu of the master!"

"The most powerful? Ha! Ha! The old-fashioned thing more than 20 years ago turned out to be the most powerful, ha! Ha! Ha!" The old man seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and laughed, "Fart! The most powerful, then why are you Still lost?"

"That's because I didn't practice well, and it has nothing to do with my father!" Tianci said stubbornly.In Tianci's mind, Dad has always been the most powerful and kindest. Others can say that they are not talented or hardworking, but they absolutely cannot say that Dad is not good, even the Kung Fu taught by Dad is not good!
"Unexpectedly, you are quite filial." The old man didn't care about the tone of Tianci's words just now, "I will stay here for about half a month, how about I teach you close-body martial arts again? After learning my method, your father taught you You can throw it aside!" The old man said, smoothing his messy beard, very proud.For so many years, the old man has been studying close-body martial arts, and finally achieved something, but he couldn't find a successor.People with good aptitude will basically choose to practice fighting qi, and those who can't practice fighting qi are surprisingly poor.

Tianci seemed to hear something, and rolled his eyes in his eye sockets, "Why should I learn from you? Are you better than my father? Can you catch me?"

"Huh?" The old man choked.For more than a hundred years, others have always begged him to pass on his art, but now he is actively being suspected of passing on his art, how can he not feel tight in his chest!

"Why, doubt my strength and want to test me?" The old man's face became extremely gloomy, his fingers bent into claws, and he grabbed Tianci's neck.

Tianci naturally leaped back.The distance between the two was about three meters, and with Tianci's backward leap, even if the old man's fingers were in front of him, his strength would have been exhausted long ago, Tianci was thinking in his heart!

Tianci was standing firmly on the wooden post behind him, and the old man's hand was still so fast and powerful, Tianci was shocked!Not daring to hold back, he used all his strength to dodge from left to right, but no matter how he dodged, the old man's hands followed closely like a shadow, his sleeves whistling against the wind, as if he had endless stamina.The old man's face was calm, his fingers followed Tianci without touching it, and let him dodge and escape, just like a cat playing with a mouse.

There was a trace of coolness behind Tianci, and he had never encountered such a weird situation. The old man's fingers could not be avoided and could not be shaken off. What was even more frightening was that the hand was still a palm away from him, but Tianci felt that A hand was already on his neck.

Tianci made a sudden stop, and the old man's hand also stopped instantly.

"Stop running?" The old man withdrew his hands behind his back.

Tianci bent down, panting with one hand resting on his knee, and swayed fiercely at the old man with one hand, "Don't run away, don't run away, you can't run away anyway!"

"Then how do you say I compare with your father?" The old man narrowed his eyes and asked
"You are amazing, Dad has never made me so embarrassed." Tianci has calmed down, "Dad can't catch me within ten moves, even the first three moves can't touch me, but I think your first move is the best!" can catch me."

"Children can be taught!" The old man was very satisfied, "Then I will teach you personally, can you learn?"

"Learn, why don't you learn?" After verifying the strength of the old man, Tianci said without thinking, "Then, should I worship you as my teacher? If I want to, I must tell my father, you are so powerful, I think my father will definitely Yes!"

"Apprenticeship? You? I don't want it anymore. I'm just giving you some pointers. You don't need to be a teacher." After finishing speaking, the old man murmured in his heart, "If you ask me as your teacher, wouldn't it be a mess."

"Then when will I start learning from you?" Tianci's blood boiled immediately at the thought of learning more powerful martial arts.

"Now, there is no one here anyway. Remember, you are only allowed to come by yourself in the future, and you are not allowed to tell anyone what I taught you, especially your father. Do you understand?" The old man explained solemnly. with.

"Understood, I, Tianci, understands best." Tianci was very proud.
