Chapter 114: Choosing a Sword

In the treasure appraisal room, seven long swords, including the swords and boxes, were placed side by side on the long table.

After Liu Xi looked at them one by one, he reached out to one of the long swords, which had a second-level wood magic core embedded in the hilt.

Ya Fei, who was standing by, saw his actions and asked:

"Mr. Liu Xi, have you already made your selection?"

Hearing this, Liu Xi paused and said with a bitter smile:

"Ms. Yafei, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? How can you choose a weapon just by looking at it? You have to try it out yourself!"

"That being said, isn't Mr. Liu Xi an alchemist? He has always lived a life of luxury, so how can he test whether this sword is suitable for the hand, or even whether its quality is good or bad?"

Ya Fei placed one hand across her chest, resting it on the joints of her other hand, and fiddled with her white, jade-like fingers.

With these words, she was actually just short of asking Liu Xi directly, "Do you understand swords?"

Can Liu Xi use sword?
Ya Fei was unconvinced. Although her understanding of Liu Xi had shifted slightly after today's contact, her previous impression was still limited.

It should be noted that among many weapons, swords are definitely one of the more difficult to master, and one has to work very hard to get started.

The "skillfulness" of a person who doesn't know how to use a sword and the skillfulness of a person who knows how to use a sword are two completely different things.

If it feels comfortable in your hand, does it mean it is handy?
Most of the time, swords like that can only be used as decoration.

In her opinion, the reason why Liu Xi wanted to buy a long sword was probably just to show off, so that he could wear a long sword on his waist when walking outside to attract the attention of the women around him, and finally trick a few young girls who were not well-versed in the world and roll into bed with them...

If one were to choose among these seven long swords, all of which were of fairly good quality, eight out of ten would choose the one that looked the most gorgeous.

She had seen countless tricks like this during her years in the imperial capital.

This thing of Liu Xi is just what others have left over.

"Haha, what Miss Yafei said, whether I can try it out or not, you will know later." It was not difficult to hear the contempt in Yafei's words. Liu Xi smiled faintly, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the long sword.

sieve……

After a soft sound.

Several people in the room, including Yafei and Zhen'er who had a prejudice against Liu Xi, all had a look of stunned surprise in their eyes.

The moment he held the sword in his hand, the feeling of Liu Xi swinging the sword thousands of times in the virtual space of the golden scroll was reproduced.

Swish...swish...swish...

I simply made a few sword moves to test the flexibility of my wrist and arm, which was a rough test of the feeling of the sword.

It feels... okay.

sieve……

Swish! Swish…

After a moment, he used some basic sword techniques recorded in the "Abyss Sacrifice, Bloodshed and Sorrow" fighting scroll.

hack.

砍。

collapse……

He shook his head and said:
"This one won't work, it's too light!"

He put the sword back to its original place. He only tried one sword, but he already had a rough idea of ​​what kind of sword would be "easy to hold" in this outside reality.

His current body is not as weak as his original body. Over the past period of time, he has taken elixirs, performed exercises, and the mysterious cigarettes have slightly improved the strength of his internal organs. He has already been reborn and has an extraordinary physique.

Let’s not talk about the style and emphasis of the long sword for now.

The sword was too light and was eliminated in his eyes. It was as if it was nothing in his hand.

Of course, the sword was too heavy for him to use.

To be precise, the heavy sword is not well matched with the earth-level fighting skill he has acquired. Some mysterious moves and the operation of fighting spirit are not suitable for the heavy sword. At least for him who has just started to learn that fighting skill, there are many inconveniences.

Moreover, among these seven swords, none of them is a heavy sword.

"If it's too light, it won't work... If it's too heavy, it won't be suitable... This is a bit hard to compromise!" He muttered to himself.

Yes, Liu Xi no longer expects to pick a satisfactory sword among these seven swords. He only hopes to find one that is acceptable.

He took a step and moved his body. Next, he walked in front of the other six swords, looked at them, and picked up each sword to weigh it.

Finally, he had an idea of ​​the seven swords in his mind.

First of all, let’s talk about quality. Generally speaking, the quality of these seven swords is not much different. When put together, there is not one sword that he thinks is eye-catching, and there is not one sword that he thinks is bad before he gets his hands on it.

Now let’s talk about the swords that are suitable for the hand. There are two such swords among the seven, but these two swords were not given special attention when they were made!

What is emphasis?

For example, the design and feel of the hilt, whether it is comfortable to hold, which is what most people who don't know much about swords consider to be "handy". Another example is whether the sword is carved with or inlaid with magic cores that can increase its power when in use. Another example is whether the material of the sword itself is hard and durable, whether it is extremely sharp, or whether the material of the sword is conducive to the infusion of fighting spirit, and so on. If one or two of these aspects have outstanding characteristics, then that is the emphasis.

However, Liu Xi did not see any of these on the two swords!

In short, two words:

mediocre!

Of course, a mediocre sword has a mediocre use, so for now he can just make do with it. It's acceptable. After all, he is only at the level of a fighting master now, and has just started to learn fighting skills.

He looked between the two swords, but because both swords looked quite ordinary, he found it difficult to make a choice.

The two swords are exactly the same length, three feet and three inches.

It seems that any one of them can be chosen?

It's just a matter of making do anyway!

"Damn it! Are you forcing me to perform a full set of sword skills on these two swords?"

Unable to make up his mind, he simply decided to use this stupid method.

It is said to be a stupid method, but it is definitely the most practical method. After practicing a whole set of sword-weapon basics, he will definitely have to make a choice between the two swords. At that time, there will definitely be one that is relatively more suitable for him.

"Ms. Yafei, please step back a little. It would be bad if I hurt you."

Picking up one of the two swords, Liu Xi reminded.

At this moment, Ya Fei, who was standing beside him, looked at him with eyes that no longer contained the contempt she had when she brought the long sword. Upon hearing his words, she realized that Liu Xi might make a big move, and immediately led a few people out of the treasure appraisal room.

Inside the room, Liu Xi saw that he was the only one left in the spacious treasure appraisal room, so he stopped procrastinating, raised the long sword in his hand, attached only a little bit of fighting spirit to it, and then performed the sword basics that came with the fighting skills scroll.

Chop... hack... break... lift... block... wash... cut... stab... stir... press... hang... cloud... point!

The sword is like a white snake spitting out its tongue, hissing and breaking through the wind, and it is also like a swimming dragon, moving around. Sometimes it is as light as a swallow, pointing the sword and rising up, and sometimes it is as sudden as lightning.

Ya Fei stood at the door of the treasure appraisal room, watching the young man inside dance with the sword, then slowly put away his sword and stood up.

Once again subverting her previous impression of it!

She felt that after today, she should re-understand this man whom she could not understand.
