Sharpen the knife without accidentally cutting the vegetable bow [E-sports]

Chapter 135

……

"Clang! Clang!"

In the knife training room, a figure is standing in front of the AI ​​stake, and the knife is struck again and again. The strength and angle of each knife is almost figured out. This is the most basic knife technique training for professional players. Although it is boring, it is It's a great way to train muscle memory.

Although there are system corrections, the movement correction ratio of professional players is often not very high. To make every move achieve the expected effect, it also requires long-term training and adaptation. This is similar to real martial arts. place.

The clanging of weapons was endless, and after a long time, Yun Yin put down the knife in his hand, frowned, and sighed long.

Or not.

It was too far away.

Yun Yin exited the knife training room, staring blankly at the interface of the room for a long time.

Suddenly, an invitation message popped up in front of him.

[Gypsophila-Lu Mingyu invites you to enter the custom room XXX, do you agree? 】

Yun Yin was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously accepted.

"...Captain, you haven't slept yet."

Yun Yin turned on the voice in the room, and her tone was awkward.

The Mantianxing base has no mandatory regulations on the players' schedule, but it is already past two o'clock in the night, and it is still during the game, and this point is still soaked in the practice room, even if the team manager sees it, he has to say a few words.

"Ah."

Lu Mingyu's voice sounded on the voice channel: "Go online and have a look."

Check it out online?Who are you looking at?me?

Yun Yin felt uneasy and couldn't ask directly, so she was silent for a while, and said: "...I just can't sleep, I came up to practice two knives, and I'll go to sleep right away."

Lu Mingyu: "No rush, just hit two."

Then start the game directly.

Practicing swordsmanship with Lu Mingyu, a veteran swordsman in the national service, is a matter of great psychological pressure. Facing Lu Mingyu's sophisticated and flawless swordsmanship, Yun Yin didn't even survive a few rounds, and was easily blown away. .

In two consecutive fights, Yun Yin didn't even break Lu Mingyu's armor, and he lost cleanly.

"Did you find the problem?"

Facing the deer team's question, Yun Yin replied honestly: "Well, the damage from the stepping knife just now is unnecessary, if I use..."

"Not that."

Lu Mingyu smiled faintly, and said, "Your knife is too impetuous. It was during the competition, and it is now."

Yun Yin froze for a moment, opened his mouth, but did not refute.

Because he wanted to win too much, he wanted to prove himself too much, and he wanted to prove that Lu Mingyu's choice was right. In the competition, he played much more aggressively than usual.

As soon as his mind was in a turmoil, so did his sword. His style of play almost engraved his desire to win on his face. With such a knife, he could easily guess it.

"What are you thinking about?"

"About the game. And..."

Yun Yin answered in a low voice, and he asked: "Teacher, am I really talented..."

This time he didn't call the captain, but Teacher Lu Mingyu.

"Talent means nothing."

Lu Mingyu shook his head: "Have you read Weibo?"

"……Um."

Yun Yin hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

After the game, Lu Mingyu asked him not to go to Weibo or forums until after the regular season, but Yun Yin still didn't hold back, and secretly re-downloaded the uninstalled software.

"Every newcomer will encounter things, don't take it to heart."

Lu Mingyu sighed: "As a rookie, your performance is already good, I don't blame you."

Yun Yin shook his head: "Captain, I would rather you could scold me a few words."

Lu Mingyu's attitude made him feel even more embarrassed.Obviously he didn't fight well, but instead asked Lu Mingyu to comfort him in a soft voice, which made Yun Yin feel even more ashamed.

Even if he scolded him a few words, he would feel much better than now.

"Why scold you."

Lu Mingyu laughed: "Do you think I will expect you to perform perfectly in the first match? I'm not that naive."

"However, Ye Shao...Chen Xingran can do it."

The rookies of the same wealthy team, one made it to the stage and was the king bomb, stunning everyone, while the other played mediocre, and even became a drag on the team, frequently becoming a breakthrough in the battle, even though Yun Yin knew the gap between himself and Chen Xingran before , but facing such a direct and cruel comparison, as well as the ridicule on the Internet, Yun Yin still felt ashamed.

It was not only his face that was lost, but also that of Lu Mingyu, who was full of stars.

Lu Mingyu paused, and said, "He's different."

"Before Chen Xingran entered ZMD, his knife fighting skills were already at the top level, and the shortcomings he lacked have been filled after entering ZMD. His performance in the competition is a matter of course." Lu Mingyu said: "You are different from him. , don’t compare them together.”

"……Um."

Not to compare is easier said than done.The two are about the same age, and both are newcomers to the wealthy team. They are like two products lined up side by side in a shop window, and people will compare them unconsciously.

Yun Yin never felt that he was weaker than others. He fought all the way in the sword room, and every time he met a strong opponent, even if he failed, his first thought was how to defeat him in the future.It was precisely because of this that after realizing the gap between himself and Chen Xingran on the field, he was so eager to catch up that even the knife in his hand seemed extremely anxious.

When Lu Mingyu heard Yun Yin's response, he knew that he hadn't listened. He glanced at Yun Yin, shook his head imperceptibly, and finally said only three words.

"go to sleep."

……

"Deer team?"

The next day, Chen Xingran was surprised to find that he had actually received a call from Lu Mingyu.

He picked up the phone, made a hissing gesture, and Luo Baibai, who was fighting with Yang Yunche for the last piece of ribs, fell silent obediently.

Yang Yunche had quick hands and quick eyes, and took advantage of Luo Baibai's dazed effort to snatch away the ribs.

"!"

Luo Baibai gritted his teeth and mouthed to Yang Yunche: You are so despicable!

Yang Yunche pretended not to notice, lowered his head to eat, but quietly pricked up his ears.

"Well, we're eating."

Chen Xingran said to the other end of the phone: "For a while? I have time....Well, okay."

"Why did Lu Mingyu call you? At noon."

When Chen Xingran hung up the phone, Luo Baibai said strangely: "They just finished the game, shouldn't they be replaying the game these two days?"

"I have something to ask me, I'll go to the game to see."

Chen Xingran took two casual bites and put down his chopsticks: "I'm done eating, let's take a step first."

He left the dining table and walked straight into the training room. After logging into the game, an invitation to a custom room popped up in front of him, which was sent by Lu Mingyu.

After entering the room, there were already two people inside, one was Lu Mingyu, and the other was Yun Yin.

Chen Xingran was a little puzzled: "Deer team, are you looking for me?"

"Ah."

Lu Mingyu said: "Is it convenient? Let's practice a knife."

"Convenient."

Chen Xingran didn't feel sleepy after hearing this: "It seems that I haven't practiced swords with you for a long time, come on."

"It's not with me." Lu Mingyu said, "It's with him."

"Yun Yin?"

"Ah."

Yun Yin didn't speak in the room, and compared to the last time Chen Xingran saw him, he seemed much taciturn.

Chen Xingran watched his last game and knew that his first game was not satisfactory, so he was probably still in a state of self-doubt at this time.Chen Xingran probably guessed what Lu Mingyu meant, but in the next moment, he heard Lu Mingyu say: "Don't hold back."

Chen Xingran was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

...Is there such a thing as a teacher?

The night before yesterday, I was still reading many posts comparing myself and Chen Xingran. Today, Chen Xingran himself stood in front of me, and Yun Yin was a little embarrassed and nervous.

He glanced at Lu Mingyu who was watching the battle, quietly clenched the knife in his hand, his eyes became a little firmer.

However, the reality is always cruel and merciless.

The first one, Yun Yin lost.

In the second hand, Yun Yin lost.

The third, the fourth...

After practicing several knives in succession, Yun Yin was without exception, and all of them failed disastrously.

Yes, there is no way to fight back.

Facing Chen Xingran was completely different from facing Lu Mingyu. Lu Mingyu's saber technique was as precise as it had been calculated countless times. Every move was just right, without any unnecessary movements.

However, Chen Xingran's saber is complex and changeable. One moment it was a menacing chopping saber, and the next moment it switched to a flicking saber in an extremely smooth manner. The transition between offense and defense is smooth and flowing, sometimes like clouds and mist, and sometimes like thunder and lightning It's so fierce that it's hard to guard against.

Yunyin even vaguely felt that Chen Xingran's knife was even more oppressive than his teacher Lu Mingyu's. The attack was dense, there was no room to breathe, and there was no chance to catch it, so that it hit him a few days later. In the round, Yun Yin didn't think about how to break Chen Xingran's attack at all, but kept avoiding and defending, struggling to survive in the dense shadow of swords, lights and swords.

Clang——

Chen Xingran's knife stopped in front of Yun Yin's forehead, it stopped firmly, and even the blade did not tremble at all.At this time, Yun Yin's blood volume was down to a sliver, while Chen Xingran was still in half armor, the gap was obvious.

Lost again.

Chen Xingran put the knife back into its sheath: "It's almost there, Deer Team."

Lu Mingyu hummed and asked him, "How does it feel?"

Chen Xingran: "Do you want to listen to the truth?"

Lu Mingyu nodded, Yun Yin also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear Chen Xingran's evaluation of him.

"Too irritable."

Chen Xingran's evaluation was astonishingly consistent with Lu Mingyu's: "Too aggressive, but lacking in thinking, playing too blindly, and not leaving any room for himself. To be honest, it's not even as good as it was in the assessment room."

Yun Yin blushed when she heard that.

……how come?

After Lu Mingyu's training for a period of time, Yun Yin feels that his level of swordsmanship has improved a lot compared to before. Abandoning the tactical execution, he is still fighting against other professional players on the field. have some advantages.

But it got such an evaluation.

Yun Yin wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.Chen Xingran, Huahua and Lu Mingyu had basically the same evaluation last night. The two swordsman kings of today's national server both said the same thing, and Yun Yin couldn't help but fall into a state of self-doubt.

Is it really that bad?

"It's the first time I'm on the court, and it's normal to be in poor condition."

Chen Xingran said: "I want to win too much, but I messed up my senses. The heart is in the body, and the body is with the knife. You can see your current state from the way of the knife. If the heart is restless, the sword will naturally be too."

Yun Yin listened, and couldn't help but said: "Isn't it your first time to play?"

Chen Xingran smiled: "I'm nervous too."

"...I can't see it at all."

"Really. Our captain gave me psychological counseling before going on the field."

Chen Xingran spread his hands: "However, this nervousness will basically disappear when you are on the field. Yun Yin, this is only your first game, and the game itself has many uncertainties. You have to adapt to this. Don't take every enemy as a challenge, they are just opponents."

Yun Yin was a little depressed.After playing these few games with Chen Xingran, his mentality has indeed changed.When Chen Xingran stood here, after he truly felt the gap between himself and the Fighting Knife King, when he was depressed, the subtle imbalance in his heart also disappeared.

Just like he wouldn't compare with Lu Mingyu, when the gap between the two sides is so big that there is no reason to fill the gap, he knows he can't compare, so he doesn't compare.What Lu Mingyu said is indeed correct, Chen Xingran has such strength, and it is a matter of course that Chen Xingran can perform like this in the arena.

Not to mention that Yun Yin himself made a mistake in the last game, even if he performed supernormally, he still knew that he could not reach the level of Chen Xingran, and he was secretly competing with him as a hidden competitor, but it was just to make things difficult for him .

Lu Mingyu stepped forward and said: "I have my own considerations for letting you enter the first team. Your performance in the last game was actually much better than when Ah Mu first entered the Starry Sky. After this stage, you will have New growth, as long as you keep your feet on the ground and take it step by step.”

Yun Yin felt that his confidence was regaining bit by bit, he shook the knife: "Well, I understand. I will work hard."

Then he looked at Chen Xingran, his eyes gradually became firmer: "I will adjust my mentality and work hard to improve on the field...One day, I will definitely beat you."

At this moment, Yun Yin left behind the ridicule he saw on the Internet and stopped thinking about it.With clear goals and benchmarks, a lot of pressure and confusion have become an upward driving force.

This look is not bad.

Chen Xingran smiled, and said, "My Jinglei, have you learned anything?"

Yun Yin froze for a moment, then nodded.

Not only him, but the entire professional league, even the players in the solo queue and the sword training room, as long as they are playing Tang Dao, almost all of them have tried to learn Jinglei. Under the environment, they are all terrible weapons, but this move is too difficult to learn, full of Chen Xingran's personal style, and he really can't practice it later, so he gave up.

Chen Xingran said: "Jinglei pays more attention to meaning than form. Your carbine has already taken shape, but Jinglei is bland and tasteless. Do you know why?"

Yun Yin shook his head.

"Because your sword, like your people, has an unsteady side. But if you want to use Jinglei, your sword can't have the slightest hesitation."

Chen Xingran said: "There is a flash of thunder, and if you go forward, you can kill gods and ghosts."

After a pause, he said, "Look good."

After he finished speaking, the smile on his face faded, his footsteps retreated slightly, and the Tang knife in his hand was sheathed extremely quickly and smoothly.

Yun Yin's eyes widened, carefully watching Chen Xingran's every move, unwilling to let go of any detail.

In the next moment, he saw that Chen Xingran seemed to have turned into an erupting volcano in an instant. In the last second, it was still a peaceful and peaceful mountain in the distance. In the next second, it was as if the sky and the earth were roaring, the earth was rumbling, and the volcano that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly erupted. , What he saw in his eyes was not the light of the knife, but the thick and hot magma attacking him overwhelmingly!

At this moment, Yunyin's hair stood on end, and his scalp was numb, as if the blood in his body was about to be baked to evaporate by the hot magma!

Swah——

All of this is Yun Yin's imaginary conception. When he came back to his senses, Chen Xingran's blade was already standing on his neck. The cold touch did not have a trace of warmth, and it was not as intense as he imagined. The afterimage of the blade passing by is slowly fading from his retina.

Such a beautiful knife.

Yun Yin faced Chen Xingran's unreserved sword intent for the first time, he felt as if he saw a grand natural disaster, saw Chen Xingran's determination and ruthlessness, at this moment his heart was pounding , as if something was struggling to jump out of his chest.

It seems that this is what he wants to pursue in his heart.

Chen Xingran asked, "What did you see?"

With some longing on Yun Yin's face, he replied in a daze: "Volcanoes, magma, earthquakes... and... clouds and lightning that were divided into two?"

After he finished speaking, he said again: "I have watched your teaching video of Jinglei many times, but I can't find that feeling, and the force point of Jinglei is also very strange, which is almost contrary to the mechanism of the game. of……"

Chen Xingran's eyes were slightly appreciative.

The problem Yunyin encountered was the common dilemma faced by all those who wanted to learn Jinglei, because Jinglei was not a game skill at all, but a real martial arts born out of reality.

Chen Xingran thought for a while, and said: "Jinglei combines the essence and artistic conception of many saber techniques. If you want to learn this saber, you must first start with the [-]th practice, then start with the Jinsong saber technique, and then learn the nine-type thirteen knife……"

Yun Yin listened carefully, and he asked, "Can I learn?"

"what?"

"Can I learn martial arts?"

Yun Yin repeated again: "Not in the game, I want to practice martial arts with you in reality."

Chen Xingran smiled and said: "You started late, but it's not too late. Although Jinglei only has one move, it combines the strengths of hundreds of schools. If you want to learn it, you have to start from the basics. With your age and talent , sooner than five or six years, if it is slower, it will be uncertain, are you mentally prepared for this?"

Five or six years is too long.When he learns Thunder, he still doesn't care whether he is playing professionally or not. Maybe even Destiny will not be popular by then, and no one will play it.

Yun Yin didn't hesitate. From Chen Xingran's knife, he saw what he yearned for. From the assessment of Shendaomen to learning how to return the carbine after him, Yun Yin always felt that there was something lacking in his sword technique. Now he felt that he had found the answer, and he answered simply and neatly: "Learn!"

Chen Xingran said: "After the Fate Cup match, come and find me."
