I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 35 Entering the sword club and fighting swords again

Today is September 30th.

Cloudy to sunny.

in the afternoon.

The academy is recruiting new members, and so is the sword club.

The fact that he defeated Yuan Boyi with swordplay and had him expelled from school was like thunder in the sword club.

He signed up and then came to the sword club with the membership booklet.

Shentu No. 2 Middle School, Sword Club.

Today is the day for recruiting new members, so when he came in, he saw that it was bustling with activity.

Although the sword club is not the most popular club in the school, there are still many people who sign up to join.

Because the threshold for joining the sword club is low, and another reason is that the sword club has competitions.

The school has always held public fencing competitions, and there are several types of fencing, the most common of which are rapier and foil.

In rapier, only stabbing is allowed, and only the chest and face can be stabbed, while in foil, any sword style can be used and points will be scored if any place is hit.

The threshold for participation is also low. Because it is safe with protective gear and can also exercise the body, there are many people participating.

The entire sword club was a bit noisy.

When he went in, he found the person in charge.

The other person recognized him at a glance. She was a tall woman.

She has long legs, fair skin, her hair is tied up, and there is a strip of hair hanging down on both sides of her forehead like a fish's whisker.

"Welcome, Junior Pei Ju, to join the Sword Club. I think the Sword Club will become more glorious because of your participation." said the woman.

Pei Ju simply smiled. He felt that he had fought here before, and that the other party's words might not be sincere, so he just smiled and said nothing else. Then he heard the other party say, "I'm the vice president of the Sword Club, from Class 1, Grade 3. My name is Zhu Linhui. I participated in a competition a few days ago and am not in the Sword Club."

"I heard that you defeated Yuan Boyi with just two sword strikes. You're quite impressive, so I'm a little curious and hope to see it for myself. But you haven't come to the sword club for a long time. Now that you're finally here, I think today is worse than tomorrow. Let's have a duel today."

Zhu Linhui was very straightforward. She walked beside Pei Ju and was not much shorter than him.

"Okay." She asked Pei Ju about other things, and he would see the situation, but if she asked him about a sword fight, he would definitely not refuse.

His purpose of joining the sword club was to have an opponent to practice with.

This sword club is not just a training place, there are also some more private areas for people to practice with each other.

But as soon as the two of them went in, someone followed them in.

"I heard that you were not wearing armor at that time. This is against the rules. No matter how you act outside, here, as long as it is a competition, you must wear armor. Yuanyuan, bring a set of armor that suits him. If it breaks, it's my fault." Zhu Linhui said loudly to a slightly plump girl.

"You need to buy the armor yourself. I can lend you a set today. If you want to buy more, you can come to me. My family sells various armor for training and competition." Zhu Linhui said naturally.

Pei Ju found that whether she was going to compete with him or talking about selling armor, she was so natural and open-minded.

The girl named Yuanyuan came over with a set of armor. The armor looked big, but not very heavy. The girl named Yuanyuan carried it over by herself.

Someone came to help him put on the armor, and as soon as he put it on, he felt that it was surprisingly light.

"This is woven from rattan and is very light. In ancient times, ethnic minorities in western Sichuan wore this kind of rattan armor on the battlefield. This has been modified and is suitable for competition. You and Yuan Boyi had no rules that day. I have to say here that we have no rules either, but there is one thing we must make clear: no hitting the groin."

While Zhu Linhui was speaking, they had almost finished putting on their armor.

"Will you use your own sword or the wooden sword we have here?" She did not call the wooden stick that Pei Ju always carried with him a wooden stick, but called it a sword.

Pei Ju's liking for her suddenly increased.

"I use my own." Pei Ju replied.

"Okay." Zhu Linhui didn't say anything more and let the person behind her help her make the final adjustments and tie the rope.

Soon both of them were dressed, and a lot of people came in to watch.

The two of them stood still, and Zhu Linhui spoke, "I heard that the sword technique inherited from your family is called the Thirteen Wandering Dragon Styles, and it's characterized by its agility and transformation. My family's sword technique is called the Fish-Stabbing Sword Technique. It's said that the person who created this sword technique used to dive into rivers and spear fish, and he was always successful. After mastering it, he made a living as a killer and was even listed on the Blacklist."

Pei Ju had heard of the blacklist, but he didn't know much about it, and there was no way to find out. It was a ranking of gangsters. It was said that there was a place that would specifically post various tasks such as murder, theft, buying and selling, and then someone would take them. Those who took these tasks would get a ranking, and only those who entered the top 1,000 would be considered on the blacklist.

Anyone who can make it onto the blacklist, no matter what his character is like, at least has extremely strong abilities. And this Thornfish Sword Technique was actually created by someone who has been on the blacklist, and he is a killer, so it must be very sharp.

Pei Ju's heart immediately became heavy.

His family's Youlong sword technique seems to have never been very famous.

Moreover, he felt that his family's Youlong Sword Technique did not have complicated sword styles, but was very simple. In the temple world, his third uncle also used this, but when his third uncle used it, it was simple and could kill with one blow, but sometimes he combined various sword styles together, which would make people feel dazzled and give people a complicated feeling.

He thought that there was still a big gap between his swordsmanship and that of his uncle.

The two men stood still, each holding a wooden sword and crossing it, and then stopped.

There is no referee, so naturally no one calls for action, so the start depends entirely on the tacit understanding between the two players.

They moved, both of them moved almost at the same time.

Zhu Linhui's swordsmanship was indeed created by a killer. She thrust her sword straight into Pei Ju's face.

The speed is fast and the force of pressing the sword is great.

When the spectators saw this scene, they couldn't help but scream.

"Well!"

There was complete silence just now, as if everyone was holding their breath waiting for this moment.

Because everyone present knew that Zhu Linhui's sword was fast, fierce, accurate, and powerful. Those who didn't understand would be stabbed the moment the sword fight began.

If they were fighting with real swords, they would have been stabbed to death.

Although Pei Ju was wearing a mask, which had some impact on his vision, if he needed to rely on his eyes to see the opponent's sword moves during a sword fight, he would still be at a low level.

This is the sword that the opponent thrusts out when the two swords intersect. One can clearly feel the power transmitted from the opponent's sword.

Fencing is not a sport that relies on physical effort. Even though there is a sword move called parrying, it must always be coordinated with an evasive step.

Because the sword is light, if it encounters heavy weapons such as swords, spears, halberds and sticks, it cannot be blocked at all and it is difficult to deflect them. Even if it is blocked, it is just in line with the situation and guide the opponent's weapon to deviate, and the deviation will not be too much.

Therefore, to wield the sword lightly, one needs to have a flexible step and a light body.

Since the word "Youlong" is in the name of the Youlong sword technique, it certainly focuses on agility.

Pei Ju felt the force of the opponent's sword thrusting forward and pressing down, and he immediately took a step to the right, not even using much strength to lift the opponent's sword, because he wanted her to stab deeper.

He took a right step, followed lightly with his left foot, and stabbed Zhu Linhui's sword in the face.

He dodged and thrust out another sword at the same time.

This sword was also very fast. "Ugh!"

Another burst of exclamations was heard. Just now, everyone thought that Pei Ju was going to be stabbed.

And now they are exclaiming for Zhu Linhui.

Zhu Linhui was worthy of being the vice president of the sword club. After her sword missed, she immediately returned the sword, drawing a circle in the direction of Pei Ju.

At the same time, she moved back, leaning back slightly.

She was shocked because she found that Pei Ju's steps were so agile, and the sword in his hand moved with him without any delay.

Some people dodged but were unable to seize the opportunity to draw their swords. Some people had good ideas about how to use the sword, but their footwork was not able to support the completion of the sword move.

While Pei Ju dodged, he stabbed her with his sword, making her feel like she was facing her own teacher.

But the teacher is a real professional swordsman.

Impossible, he is only fifteen years old.

She saw the tip of the opponent's sword in the void in front of her. She knew that the sword was only so long and could not pierce her. Moreover, her sword had already returned. If the opponent's sword tried to pierce her again, her sword could suppress it and she could just step back.

In fact, it would be best for her to take a step back now. Keeping a distance is a good choice.

In a fight, distance is the most important thing. As long as you retreat quickly, you can overcome the disadvantage, but she doesn't want to retreat because she still wants to attack.

She drew a circle with the sword in her hand and was about to make a sword flower, which was a defensive sword move to make her lose the opponent's sword trace.

However, at this moment she felt a heavy 'snap' sound on her wrist.

Although it didn't hurt much, she knew that without the armor, her hands would have lost the ability to hold a sword.

He immediately took a step back and pointed his sword at Pei Ju.

When she came to her senses, she immediately realized that Pei Ju's sword had failed to hit her face, so she stabbed down and stabbed her wrist.

She was surprised by the agility of the moves and the speed of the transitions between them.

She took a deep breath, feeling that she was too careless, and couldn't help but said loudly: "Come again."

Pei Ju also had a mask on his face, so his expression could not be seen. He was just standing in the same posture, sideways, with a sword pointed at the opponent.

Zhu Linhui was much more cautious this time. She took light steps forward and stabbed with one step. Pei Ju flicked the sword in his hand, and the opponent retreated again, like a crane pecking at fish and shrimp in the water.

She became much more cautious and was testing the waters.

Then she turned around Pei Ju, and Pei Ju turned in place as she turned, with the sword in his hand always pointing at her.

From time to time, she would take a step forward and make a straight thrust, but then she would slow down in an instant.

Sometimes the stab is deep and long, and sometimes it is just a slight flash.

He turned around twice and stabbed five or six times.

The people around were so shocked that they didn't dare to breathe. They actually felt a kind of pressure.

They felt that this was like a fight between two martial arts masters, because many of them would fight in armor and would not care whether they would be stabbed by others, they would just rush forward.

The two people on the field were like a life-and-death duel in the martial arts world.

Pei Ju was watching the opponent's steps, the opponent's shoulders, and the height of the sword when the opponent made false stabs and long stabs.

Everyone has a habit when drawing a sword. He has discovered through these few sword strikes that if she wants to stab deeper, then she will hold the sword in her arm tighter when stabbing it out because she is accumulating power. If it is a false strike, then she will not hold the sword so tightly.

He is waiting.

A false strike, a light block.

Deep puncture.

At this moment, Pei Ju moved.

The moment the opponent stabbed out, he also moved, moving to meet the opponent's sword.

He crouched down and rushed out, but swung the sword in his hand diagonally upwards.

He flicked the opponent's sword.

There was a "pop" sound.

His sword rushed forward, and the opponent's sword was outside, so he could only retreat hastily and instinctively grab the wooden sword with his free hand.

But Pei Ju's sword took advantage of the situation and chopped on the opponent's fingers. The opponent shrank back in pain, and he took a step forward. When the sword had exhausted all its strength, he took advantage of the situation and stabbed forward a little.

This step and stab was as fast as a sword.

Zhu Linhui was already retreating in a hurry, and her head was stabbed by the wooden sword. She lost her balance at that moment and fell to the ground, but her mask flew up and was pierced off her face by the sword.

The exposed face had messy hair and an expression of surprise and confusion, but not much shame, as if he was used to it.

Pei Ju lifted his mask, leaned on his wooden sword, looked at the other party, and said, "Senior sister, your swordsmanship is quite good."

"Not as good as you." Zhu Linhui climbed up by herself and said, "You are very powerful, but that doesn't mean my swordsmanship is bad. It's just that I haven't practiced well."

Pei Ju shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.

She looked at Pei Ju's armor and said, "You beat me. Your swordsmanship is very good. Would you like to be my swordsmanship instructor here?"

"Swordsmanship instruction?" Pei Ju thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I have much time."

"What do you feel? Could you be feeling it wrong?" Zhu Linhui didn't think a freshman in high school could be that busy.

"I feel it's very accurate." Pei Ju couldn't help but smile.

"Well, the armor on you fits you well. Do you want to buy it?" Zhu Linhui asked again.

"I don't have any money." Pei Ju said with his hands spread out.

"As long as you are willing to teach here, the school will pay you a salary. After teaching for two or three years, you can almost buy a set of armor." Zhu Linhui said quickly.

Pei Ju really didn't know this, but he couldn't help but reach out and touch the light yet sturdy armor on his body. Finally, he said, "Do I have to wear this here?"

"Yes." Zhu Linhui said.

"What is the relationship between your family and school?" Pei Ju asked suddenly out of curiosity.

Zhu Linhui was a little surprised that Pei Ju asked this, but she looked at the others and did not answer.
