Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe
Chapter 526 Such a long gun!
The competition between the groups is still going on.
After two more groups, it was Shaodong’s turn.
Jiang Cheng suddenly perked up.
Shao Dong, like Yao Jun and Lin Ziwei, is a favorite to win the championship this time. He has already watched the matches of the latter two, and now he is the only one left.
As they watched the two of them go on stage, discussions arose in the lounge.
“I didn’t expect that they would meet each other in this draw.”
“Yes, Mr. Shao is a seventh-level Force Master, and Mr. Luo is not weak either, he is a sixth-level Force Master. Although he does not master certain elements like Mr. Shao, his gun skills are really not simple.”
“marksmanship?”
Hearing these two words, Jiang Cheng showed some surprise on his face.
This shooting skill is naturally not the work of modern firearms. After all, at the master level, even a laser gun cannot cause damage, not to mention that there is no secret weapon to practice shooting skills.
So, naturally it refers to the spear.
“Indeed, if we hadn’t met Teacher Yao last time, it wouldn’t have been a problem for us to make it into the top three.”
Someone said, looking at Yao Jun not far away.
“I was lucky in that match.” Yao Jun’s face showed a solemn expression, “If it wasn’t for the last match, when his gun tip was slightly tilted, he would have won.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
They watched the entire game, and it was truly thrilling.
Therefore, it is hard to say who will win or lose in the next game.
“Is this Mr. Luo so powerful?”
Jiang Cheng was shocked.
At this moment, cheers broke out in the venue.
The voices cheering for the two were surprisingly equal.
The two smiled at each other, opened the virtual warehouse and lay down inside.
Soon, two figures appeared on the screen.
Shaodong’s hands were empty.
On the other hand, Luo Jun was holding a seven or eight meter long gun in his hands!
Originally, the distance between the two sides was about ten meters, but this time, it was shortened by more than half.
Jiang Cheng widened his eyes.
Wow, such a long gun!
If it were an ordinary person, even if he could pick it up, he probably wouldn’t be able to wield it.
Moreover, this gun is definitely not an ordinary gun. It may weigh more than three to five hundred kilograms.
Compared to Jiang Cheng’s surprise, the people in the venue were already used to it. After all, they had watched the competition many times. However, they still exclaimed in amazement. “Wow! Mr. Luo is so handsome!”
“Yes, yes. Among all the teachers in our academy, only Teacher Luo can use a spear as a weapon, right?”
“That’s right, Mr. Luo is the only master who uses a gun as a weapon!”
“That’s cool. I want to learn how to shoot too.”
When the teachers around heard this, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The spear is easy to learn, but also really difficult to master.
Since ancient times, there is a saying that goes, “a month with a stick, a year with a knife, and a lifetime with a gun.”
Among many weapons, the knife, spear, stick and sword are called the four main weapons, and they are the weapons that are best practiced if conditions permit.
There is an old saying that the stick is the ancestor of all weapons. On the one hand, it means that the stick can be regarded as the earliest weapon. Even in the ancient ape era, when humans had not yet appeared, the ancient apes at that time knew how to pick up wooden sticks and use them as weapons.
On the other hand, stick techniques can be said to be interlinked with the techniques of many weapons. Once you have mastered the stick techniques, you can basically pick up and use various long-pole weapons. It can be regarded as the source of various long-pole weapon techniques.
Therefore, you must first learn the techniques of bare-handedness, learn how to generate strength, practice the coordination of your limbs, and have a basic concept of fighting before you can talk about picking up weapons. If you can’t fight well with your bare hands, it will only be more difficult to learn if you have more weapons in your hands.
If you have practiced with your bare hands well and start practicing with a stick, generally speaking, practicing for a month or so is enough.
After all, there is nothing complicated about stick techniques. Learning how to exert force, learning the changes in attack distances, knowing how to dodge and block, and knowing how to seize the opportunity to attack is enough.
For ordinary people, when encountering an emergency, they can just swing a long stick and three or five people will not be able to get close to them.
But if you are practicing sword skills, it is not something that you can go out and fight against others after practicing for a month or so. If you are an ordinary person and have only practiced sword skills for a month or so, when fighting against others, you can only swing your sword randomly based on instinct. If the opponent is a veteran, he can really beat you up.
After practicing for a year, when you fight with others, you can say that at least you are not swinging the knife blindly based on instinct. In the confrontation, you can use some moves against your opponent and put up a proper attack and defense.
But in the past, if you wanted to practice the spear, even if you practiced for a lifetime, there would always be moves you could continue to learn, and no one dared to say when a certain level of practice was enough.
This sounds like the three weapons’ moves have different levels of complexity. It seems that there are many things that can be practiced with the spear, the sword skills can be practiced in a medium amount of ways, and the stick skills seem to have very few moves that can be practiced. The training difficulty of the three weapons seems to be different.
But this is just an appearance. The fundamental reason is that the degree of internal circulation of the three weapons, sword, gun and stick, was different in ancient times.
In the past, sticks were mainly used as long-pole weapons to lay the foundation of technical skills. They were usually used by the public for self-defense, because the damage caused by blunt weapons is controllable and using them for self-defense is not likely to cause a lawsuit involving murder.
On the battlefield, they are used as cannon fodder and are relatively easy to train. As long as the able-bodied men are strong enough, they can be pulled to the battlefield with a big stick after some casual training. There is no need to practice in depth with the stick. If you want to practice in depth, there are more useful long-pole weapons.
But in ancient times, the sword was a common weapon carried by soldiers, and the equipment rate was obviously much higher than that of the stick. Those who could carry a sword were at least not cannon fodder.
But because the knife is short, it is generally carried more as a secondary weapon on the battlefield, and the main weapon is still a long-pole weapon.
For example, those masters with the title of Sword Master, when they go to the battlefield, they also carry a spear, and the sword is just carried as a secondary weapon.
Therefore, in ancient times, one really had to practice using a sword well so that one could save his life in close combat. If one brought a sword, one had to know how to use it. However, because the sword was a secondary weapon, there was actually no need to spend too much time practicing. One’s main focus should still be on the primary weapon.
As for the spear, it is actually a relatively easy weapon to master. After learning it for a week and practicing the blocking, grabbing and stabbing techniques well, when you fight against someone with a knife, I’m afraid your winning rate will be higher than someone who has practiced with the knife for a year. The winning rate of a spear against other weapons is even higher, and you don’t even have to work very hard to do it.
But it becomes difficult to continue practicing.
As one of the most difficult cold weapons to learn in ancient times, what exactly is so difficult about learning the spear?
First of all, it is too heavy. For ordinary people, if they want to use a spear as a weapon on the battlefield, they must have extremely strong physical fitness. (End of this chapter)
