Chapter 304: Attack and Defense

After losing the blessing of his identity marker, Wei Miao's knowledge and experience in swordsmanship remained, but he had lost his muscle memory.

At present, this body is definitely not as useful as the original one. The physical fitness and reaction speed are not up to the level of experience, and some distance control also needs to be reconsidered.

However, it's not a big problem.

Euphia's swordsmanship has been honed through combat, and she has rich skills, her own system, and an incredibly solid foundation, making it more than enough for her to deal with opponents who have only received ordinary training.

Alfred introduced the rules of the registration test to her: "The test adopts a 10-point system. Points can only be scored if you hit the opponent with the blade, tip of the sword or the weighted ball. Hitting the weighted ball is worth 2 points, hitting the head or torso with the blade or tip of the sword is worth 3 points, and hitting the hands, feet and other parts is worth 2 points. Hitting any part with one-handed sword skills when not in a fight is worth 2 points. After the points are scored, the two sides separate and prepare for the next round of attack and defense. The first one to get 10 points wins."

"It must be pointed out that non-active hits, minor slashes that obviously cannot cause damage in actual combat, and slashes that are non-lethal due to misaligned blades will not be scored."

"And the important back-hit and double-kill rules. A double-kill means that both sides hit each other at the same time, and both sides' points are valid. But if you deliberately 'switch your hands for your head' to create a double-kill, that is, deliberately not returning to defense or dodging to exchange points, the test may not be able to proceed."

Alfred's last words were quite euphemistic. He meant that although the rules allowed, they did not encourage double kills.

"After-hit means that after one side hits, the other side can counterattack and hit the other side within 0.5 seconds, or within one step and one hit, which is called a after-hit. Both sides' scores are valid."

"You can qualify if you tie with me or win."

Alfred threw a helmet and a pair of gloves to Wei Miao and smiled apologetically: "Um...this is your protective gear."

Wei Miao looked at the helmet and gloves in his hands, then looked at his opponent who was wearing light but fully armed gear, and didn't say much.

The difference in equipment between the two sides is not intended to make things difficult for the contestants.

The contestants have different body sizes, and it is difficult for the martial arts hall to prepare protective gear for them, and it is not mandatory for them to prepare their own protective gear. Some people may come on a whim.

Therefore only the most important helmets and gloves are provided.

Although he had almost no armor, Alfred, as a professional tester, knew how to strike with discretion and would not really hurt his opponent.

The same cannot be said for contestants who come from all over the place. Alfred is fully armed for the sake of his life.

Wei Miao obediently put on the helmet. The helmet has a breathable semi-enclosed mask, which allows you to see clearly in front of you while providing reliable protection.

The gloves barely fit.

The burly man came over at this moment and indicated that he would be the referee of this test.

It was rare for him to be interested in what he saw as "petty quarrels".

Euphia gave him an indescribable feeling, relaxed and at ease. Some of the best players he knew did not have such a demeanor.

Wei Miao held a sword and stood on the field with Alfred.

The burly man nodded: "Let's get started."

The two men held swords in both hands and stepped forward, approaching each other at the same time.

The burly man was surprised to find that Wei Miao's aura suddenly changed. At this moment, she was like a sharp blade that was eager to see blood, sharp and threatening.

See the steps and you will know the level.

The burly man glanced at the lower bodies of the two men, and his mind was already leaning towards the strange woman. The confrontation between the swordsmen was not like two static statues staring at each other, but rather they kept moving their feet to test each other.

Wei Miao watched Alfred's moves with great interest, adapting to the transition from the powerful swordplay to the delicate and cautious game of weapons.

In terms of attack, the long sword is quite fierce in swinging and slashing, while the long sword is more comprehensive and can be used in a variety of ways, including stabbing, chopping and dragging.

The two men moved forward and backward, and the swords occupying the center line collided with each other tentatively, breaking apart as soon as they touched, and each of them concentrated on looking for the opponent's flaws.

Alfred was the first to lose his temper and stepped forward. He had been in the martial arts school for more than half a year and had decent talent, but his level was only average, so he was sent to perform the test.

Sweat was already oozing out of his back, not only because of the heat from the cotton armor, but also because of the suffocating feeling of oppression during the confrontation.

He was terrified and even felt that if he was not careful, he might be killed by the opponent's sword.

Even though he was taller and stronger, the other person acted like a predator.

There was no flaw at all... He gritted his teeth, leaned forward, and delivered a swift stab.

Wei Miao reacted extremely quickly, pushing the opponent's sword to the left and steadily blocking the attack.

Alfred subconsciously exerted force to his left side, and the sword continued to move forward, trying to complete the stab, but Wei Miao used the strong sword body to block the sword to her upper right.

At this time, Wei Miao's body moved slightly to the left with her steps, and the two people's swords were above her right shoulder, with the tips of the swords pointing backwards.

A stabbing requires the whole body to be mobilized. The attack failed, and Alfred had not yet adjusted his body. Wei Miao changed his pace, shifted his center of gravity to the left, and with an unambiguous spin, he pulled the sword out from under the opponent's sword and beautifully cut Alfred's right forearm. He then took a step back to keep some distance.

Alfred's force was deflected, causing him to lose balance in his forward charge, and when he drew back his sword he had already missed the opportunity to strike back.

The two men moved away from each other, marking the end of this round of attack and defense.

The burly man simply awarded Wei Miao 2 points, and looked at her with admiration in his eyes.

After a brief moment of confusion, Alfred regained his fighting spirit. He had a good attitude, and every respectable and formidable opponent was a sharpening stone for his growth.

The test continues.

This time, Alfred took the opponent by surprise. After a few probing moves, he used his advantage of being familiar with sword practice to control the distance and slashed Wei Miao's hand. He then tilted the sword and quickly retreated to block the follow-up attack.

After all, Wei Miao was new to the sword and couldn't use it as well as he wanted. In the first few rounds, he needed time to adapt and find the feel for it.

She shook her hands after they separated, and gained a better understanding of the long sword's offensive routines.

The rules are not difficult to understand.

The nature of competitive games is different from that of actual combat. The former is about how to score points from the opponent, while the latter is about how to kill the opponent.

Therefore, there is a difference between combat strategy and technique, and Wei Miao needs to change his cognition.

In previous battles, she mostly focused on the head, throat, heart and other vulnerable parts that could be fatally hit, but during the game, focusing on other parts might make it easier to score and win.

For example, chopping off a hand.

As for preventing the opponent from chasing and double killing, it is a compulsory course in actual combat. Saving your life is much more important than taking the enemy's life.
