31. Sword and Shield

After watching the video, Volcano put away his phone and asked: "Do you want to go back to school in the afternoon? Can you take a leave?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Fei didn't have to ask for leave. He now enjoys the unique special treatment of the whole class.

"We will find a place to practice your skills so that you can understand the usage of shields. I am afraid that you will not know the common combination of sword and shield. Then you will be beaten by that fool and suffer a loss of inexperience." Volcano paused and continued, "By the way, let you be familiar with the rules of the game set by the club, how about it?"

"Okay." Xu Fei nodded and agreed.

Volcano immediately stood up: "Boss, pay."

"I'll come, I'll have agreed that this is my treat." Cao Yifei pushed the volcano away and rushed to check out. Then, he naturally patted Xu Fei on the shoulder and inadvertently used small movements to pull the distance closer. "I'll go to the parking lot first, you and Volcano are waiting for me at the entrance of the alley."

A few minutes later, a Land Rover slowly drove into the alley and then drove Xu Feihe Volcano to the Beichen Sword Hall at the intersection of Jinjiang Road.

When he arrived at the sword hall, Cao Yifei took out two sets of equipment and a shield from the trunk of the car and led Xu Fei into the training ground.

Then, Volcano put on the entire set of armor, raised his shield with his left hand, and waved to Xu Fei: "It's time to start."

"You are practicing with me? Your hands..."

Xu Fei looked at Volcano's right hand, holding a long stick-shaped balloon in his hand, which contrasted sharply with the steel shield on his left hand, making it funny no matter how you look at it.

"It's okay, my left hand is not injured. Anyway, I'm asking you to practice the confrontation between swords and shields. The shield is the key. I'll use a balloon as a sword, just want to do it."

The volcano sets on his stance and holds the shield in front of him.

This shield is the same style as the shield used by the bald man in the video. The upper half is a semicircle, and the lower half is gradually closed from both sides to the middle, shaped like a dovetail. The front face is in a bracket-shaped smooth curve from top to bottom, like a fish back, with a slightly convex middle and slightly lower sides.

"The prototype of this shield is the Norman Cavalry's Oo Shield. In fact, in infantry battles, the Oo Shield is generally not as practical as the round shield and the long shield, but it is more offensive." Volcano said while shrinking forward and close, "You can try to attack me, and I will show you the common counterattack technique of double-holding sword and shield."

Xu Fei originally wanted to try to accumulate power and slash, but then he thought that if the volcano's left hand was also injured, it would cause great inconvenience to his daily life.

Seeing that Xu Fei had not moved for a long time, Volcano couldn't help but urge: "Why are you standing there? Come on, cut me down!"

Cao Yifei, who was watching the battle on the side, didn't know what he thought of, and laughed: "Volcano, he is very strong, please bear it."

"Damn it, you fuck." Volcano cursed.

Xu Fei held the sword in both hands, observed for a while, and found a tricky angle to swing the sword.

The volcano raised his shield to block it, then pushed the shield forward with force, then raised his left arm and lifted the shield upwards.

The long sword chopped on the shield slid along the fish's back-shaped shield surface. At the same time, a balloon was lifted out and stabbed directly on the protective gear on Xu Fei's chest.

Xu Fei was stunned at first, and then understood it. No wonder Volcano said before that he might not win even if he was not injured. The sword and shield are indeed very advantageous in dealing with the sword. Moreover, the bald man's use of shields is definitely much stronger than Volcano.

But this is not a problem. Xu Fei is still confident to win the game three days later because his strength is far more than that.

If he had just increased his blood temperature to 52.8℃ and used the power-calculating slash, the volcano might not be able to block it. Even if it was blocked, it would not be possible that he would have the strength to fight back.

Taking a step back, even if the volcano still has the strength to fight back, Xu Fei will definitely be able to dodge in advance with his super high reaction speed.

"This is the most common countermeasure method used by sword and shield. Come and cheer up, let's continue, this time I will attack."

Volcano said, rushing forward with his shield, and rushing hard towards Xu Fei with his shield.

Xu Fei immediately dodged sideways, intending to stagger his body with Volcano and let him continue to rush forward under the action of inertia, so that he could attack his side and back.

However, while Xu Fei turned sideways, Volcano waved his left arm, and used the shield as an extension of his arm, and slapped Xu Fei hard.

The shield can block the sword, but the sword cannot block the shield. Xu Fei can only continue to dodge, and the volcano stabbed the balloon again. This time, he poked Xu Fei's knee.

"Oh." Volcano sighed in disappointment. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the long sword in Xu Fei's hand had been pressed under his ribs at some point.

In the past, Xu Fei only knew the armorless sword technique, and without using the curse blood, he would probably be completely abused by the sword and shield fighting style. But now he has mastered the military sword technique that has been tempered in the war, and the volcano is not skilled in using shields, so he has the opportunity to counterattack.

"No," Volcano smiled immediately, "Your combat intuition is very sharp, come on, continue."

...

Twenty minutes later, the volcano collapsed to the ground and said intermittently: "I won't practice anymore, I... can't do it anymore, I'm cramping, rest, take a break."

Seeing him like this, he couldn't get back to bed for a while.

Xu Fei turned his head and looked at Cao Yifei: "Can you use a shield?"

Cao Yifei shook his head into a rattle.

"Okay, then I'll go back first and call me if you have any questions."

Xu Fei took off his armor, and Cao Yifei stared straight at him, unable to see a drop of sweat.

When Xu Fei left the door, the volcano raised his upper body and rubbed his legs while muttering: "Damn it, is this kid so hard?"

"I told you that he is a monster." Cao Yifei sat next to him and asked, "How much do you think he has a chance to win?"

Volcano thought for a while and said, "It's not possible now. If you practice for a few more days, you should have a 50% chance of winning."

"Only 50%?"

"Otherwise? He doesn't have enough experience. If he doesn't have enough defense, no matter how good his physical strength is, it's useless. In my opinion, 50% of the chances of winning are optimistic, unless he hasn't used all his strength just now."

"Yeah—" Cao Yifei pondered for a moment, recalling the sword he saw in the guest seat in the morning, smiling without saying a word.

...

In the next few days, Xu Fei went to the gymnasium to practice armorless swordsmanship in the morning, went to the Beichen Sword Hall to practice swordsmanship in the afternoon, and went home to practice military swordsmanship alone in the evening.

Thanks to the continuous physical strength brought by the Curse Blood and the patience he developed for a long time in the past, he practiced for more than ten hours a day.

Quantitative change produces qualitative change, and inspiration brews from sweat bit by bit. Xu Fei gradually integrated the footwork and body techniques of the armorless sword technique into military sword technique. The combination of the two produces the effect of one plus one greater than two. Unfortunately, there is no suitable opponent for him to test his achievements for the time being.

Strangely, Xu Fei did not enter another world again for several days.

Two days ago, Xu Fei was happy that he could enjoy two more days of peaceful life.

By Wednesday, he began to feel bad, because blood thirst broke out again and he was forced to drink the little silver blood left.

By Thursday, he began to be anxious. On the one hand, the silver blood had been exhausted, and on the other hand, he was a little worried about gains and losses, worried that he might never return to that strange world again.

Although that world is full of dangers, there are opportunities in danger. Only when you return there can Xu Fei have the possibility of breaking the shackles of talent and further improving his strength.

On Friday, late at night, Cao Yifei sent a text message reminding Xu Fei not to forget tomorrow's game.

Xu Fei glanced at his phone, replied OK, and then threw the phone towards the head of the bed in annoyance.

He looked through the gaps in the curtains and looked at the dark night sky without stars outside the window, and fell into deep loss.
