Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2006 Just swing it and it's over.

News of Ereda's repeated defeats in sparring matches against Zhou Chongshan and Xie Liancheng quickly reached Zhou Xu's ears.

Zhou Xu smiled slightly upon hearing this.

It seems their mission went very smoothly.

"What was Ereda's reaction? Did she show any emotion?"

Zhou Xu's only worry now is that Xie Liancheng might go too far and anger Ereda.

He could understand Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan's desire to spar with a newcomer they had never fought before in order to improve their skills.

But after being relentlessly attacked by the two of them for an entire afternoon, even the most good-tempered person would inevitably get a little angry, not to mention that Ereda wasn't exactly known for her good temper either.

In fact, after being defeated two or three times in a row, Eredar did become quite irritable.

However, Eredar, a five-star warrior, is undoubtedly a master of martial arts.

Being defeated in turn by Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan was indeed a bit of a mess and upsetting, but he benefited a lot from the process.

To be honest, he had never really paid that much attention to his moves before.

After all, the way to use a greatsword is to be wide-open and powerful, mainly focusing on force. To put it simply, just swing it and that's it! There aren't many complicated things involved.

Zhou Chongshan generally doesn't use short-handled heavy weapons like greatswords, battle axes, or warhammers because he knows very well that strength is not his forte.

Long handles are better, as they are more convenient to use with both hands and allow for the use of finesse, while short handles greatly limit this aspect.

However, he did practice, because only by mastering the weapon can you understand it, and only then can you better target and counter enemies who use it in the future.

Take the present as an example. If Zhou Chongshan also used a greatsword, then relying on his talent as a 'weapon master', his swordsmanship would definitely be superior to Ereda's.

However, with such heavy weapons, if your strength is insufficient, the effect will be reduced by half.

The hardware gap is there; if you really fight the Eredar with a greatsword, you'll most likely lose.

However, given his mastery and understanding of the greatsword, after their exchange, he was more than capable of giving Ereda a few pointers on technique and swordsmanship.

The same goes for Jie Liancheng. Every time Ereda lost, the two of them would directly point out the problem, clearly telling him why he lost with that move, and teaching him how to deal with such situations.

Some questions that Eredar couldn't understand before, he immediately understood after Zhou Chongshan and Xie Liancheng demonstrated them a couple of times.

Of course, understanding is one thing, but without rigorous practice, it's difficult for him to immediately apply these techniques in actual combat.

Even so, in Ereda's view, the gains from this afternoon's sparring far exceeded his previous decades or even centuries of hard work.

This made Ereda realize even more clearly that she had come to the right place this time!

At the same time, I couldn't help but recall what Zhou Xu had said before.

"His Majesty previously told me not to challenge the Empress and the Emperor lightly, or I would die. What do you two think?"

From Ereda's perspective, even Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, whose realms were only at the peak of the Vajra Realm, possessed such strength. How strong must Yarvit, who was at the Vertical and Horizontal Realm, be?

Faced with this problem, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan really thought about it for a while.

Then Xie Liancheng slowly spoke...

"It depends on the specific situation. First, we need to confirm that the Empress is indeed very strong, currently the number one warrior in our Great Zhou. If the Empress wants to kill you..."

Jie Liancheng hesitated for two seconds.

"With good luck, a single blow can cripple him, and he'll surely die within ten moves..."

What's so lucky about this?

Ereda couldn't help but mentally complain upon hearing this, while Jie Liancheng continued... "If you're unlucky, you might get killed in one hit. Of course, we're all on the same side, and during normal sparring, the Empress will definitely hold back and won't go all out."

"..."

This conclusion sent chills down Ereda's spine. Although he had never heard of the term "instant kill," the meaning was not difficult to understand when combined with the whole sentence.

While finding it unbelievable, there was also a tiny bit of disbelief.

"I fought His Majesty before, and I wasn't instantly killed by that...that thing. Is the Empress stronger than His Majesty?"

"Hmm, do you think it's possible that His Majesty intended to capture you alive from the beginning, which is why he didn't kill you?"

"..."

These words immediately silenced Ereda.

At this moment, Ereda really didn't dare to say there was no problem, after all, Zhou Xu was beating him with complete ease and composure.

And indeed, this is the case. If 'Electric Snake Dance' can shock you, 'Lightning Strike' will be even more lethal. In addition, there is also the deadly move 'Whirlwind Like a Blade'.

Zhou Xu did indeed make his move with the premise of capturing his opponent alive, and he held back more than one trick during the fight.

However, Jarvet's 'Gungnir' is a special case, and it's really hard to say who is stronger between the two.

Therefore, Xie Liancheng did not answer the question directly.

Seeing that Ereda had fallen silent, Jie Liancheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, in our military region, besides the Empress, you're the only one at the Transcendent Realm. We used to handle the sparring missions with the Empress, but from now on..."

"..."

Jie Liancheng didn't finish his sentence, but there was no need to say anything more; Ereda already understood.

I'm really curious about this; you'll have plenty of time to experience it for yourself.

It's worth noting that Jarvit is someone who is passionate about improving her own skills, and she certainly wouldn't let go of a sparring partner of the same level.

In the following days, Ereda was dealt with by Yarvit as she had hoped.

Jarvit's 'Valkyrie' talent grants her exceptional combat awareness and the ability to quickly master various combat techniques.

Yarvit already possessed exceptional combat skills, and after encountering Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, she absorbed their combat techniques rapidly during her daily training, like a sponge, making them her own.

At this stage, Yarvet can be described as an enhanced and upgraded version of Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan.

Ereda couldn't even handle Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan in terms of moves, so she was even less likely to be a match for Yarvit.

Even if the restriction on true qi is lifted, it won't help.

Yarvit is also at the Transcendent Realm, but unlike Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, she is not at a disadvantage in terms of realm.

However, it must be said that having a martial artist of the same level to spar with makes a difference.

On the new day, Ereda was utterly defeated, lying sprawled on the ground, lost in self-doubt.

Meanwhile, Jarvet calmly dusted herself off, then looked at Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan on the sidelines, pointing at Erida and indicating...

"You two should teach him more. It's been several days, and he still only has so little skill. The training effect is too poor."

"..."
