Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

Generally speaking, those who join the reserve force must register in advance, and the Knights will conduct background checks. Those with bad behavior or inappropriate age will be rejected.

The rest of the people can enjoy free three meals and recovery potions from the Knights during training.

The recovery potion is made by diluting the healing potion provided by the Knights. Although it is diluted, it is more than enough to repair sports injuries and can ensure that people on the training ground are in normal condition all day long.

The meals are fixed sets, with only one serving per person. Any more will be charged. After all, there are so many people signing up each time, and if there is no limit on the quantity, the taxpayers might go bankrupt.

Xiao followed Wang Chen all the way, apparently wanting to have dinner together, and several of Xiao's followers also came along the way.

Wang Chen couldn't refuse, so he sat down and changed his seat to one with his back to Xiao.

"?"

"How can this guy be so rude? We were having dinner with him and he had his back to us."

Wang Chen explained: "I'm sorry everyone, I have suffered from a strange disease since I was a child. I'm afraid that you will lose your appetite after seeing me, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

"Oh?" Xiao used his eyes to stop the others from talking. "Brother Chen really has good intentions. Everyone, please stop talking."

Wang Chen no longer paid attention to them. They were the ones who followed him here in the first place, and it was not him who took the initiative to have dinner with them.

Anyway, he has explained it, so if anyone is still rude, he will not be rude either.

He picked up the small glass bottle that was served with the meal. Inside was a light green liquid, which made people wonder if it was diluted bitter melon juice.

After taking a sip carefully, Wang Chen found that the potion tasted quite good, unexpectedly sour and sweet.

After drinking the entire bottle of medicine, Wang Chen felt his sore and weak muscles gradually recover, his fists that had been unable to clench could be closed again, and his limping legs returned to normal.

Is this alchemy? It's amazing.

He had recorded a book called "Alchemy: From Beginner to Die" in the forbidden books section, but had not read it yet. In his mind, he had put learning alchemy into his plan.

As expected, sword training began at two o'clock in the afternoon.

But he hadn't started practicing the West Wind Swordsmanship yet. Instead, he was learning some basic swordsmanship moves, such as stabbing, chopping, slashing, cutting, picking, wiping, and slicing...

Wang Chen drew out the Wentian Sword, and the golden light flashed on the people around him, and a sound of people inhaling was heard.

Xiao also saw the sword.

Before this, his three-star weapon, the Cold Blade, was the top-level weapon in the reserve. Now this Chen actually took out a four-star sword? An idea slowly fermented in his heart.

Wang Chen sighed helplessly. How long would it take to complete the practice of the West Wind Sword Technique?

He looked at the chief instructor who was silently observing everyone on the south side of the training ground, and found that the chief instructor was also looking at him. Just like when he looked at the scenery outside the window during self-study class, Wang Chen instantly retracted his gaze.

After practicing basic movements for an hour, the deputy instructor began to teach the West Wind Sword Technique. Before Wang Chen could even take a look, he was called away by the chief instructor.

In addition to Wang Chen, there are five other people with divine eyes.

Wang Chen then realized that these five people were all the holders of the Eye of God in the reserve force, and his team should be the top student team?

The chief instructor’s small classroom begins.

"Are you thinking, 'I have the Eye of God, why do I need to practice these things?' Let me tell you: even if you have the Eye of God, weapons and martial arts are still indispensable tools for us. An ordinary person with a good weapon can use sword energy to break your elemental defense. Not to mention people of the same kind. In a real life-and-death battle, if your attacks are all avoided by others, but their attacks hit your vital points, then you will definitely be the one to die."

The most ordinary words completely alerted Wang Chen.

Martial arts are too far away for ordinary people in modern times. Even though all his past memories are clear and tangible, the most complete thing in Wang Chen's mind is a set of simple Tai Chi that he learned in college.

The real martial arts include countless elements such as attack and defense, advance and retreat, dodging, etc., and also require actual confrontation experience.

If two people both have the Eye of God and do not consider attribute restraint, the one with better martial arts will definitely have a greater chance of winning.

The chief instructor continued, "Moreover, achievements in martial arts can also affect elemental combat skills. I joined the Knights at the age of 20, and it has been 20 years now. I only have one self-created combat skill, the Wind Fist, but as my boxing skills improve, this Wind Fist also continues to improve."

The chief instructor asked the team members to spread out a little, gather the wind element on their fists, and throw an ordinary wind punch. The wind element passed in the direction of the fist, and a loud bang was heard when the fist reached the farthest point.

Then he repeated the accumulation of power, and a fist-shaped phantom of the wind element hit the air. There was a louder explosion and the sense of oppression became noticeably stronger.

He retracted his right fist and made a gesture to gather strength again. This time, he punched out with an extra spiral of energy, attracting the gravel on the ground to the shadow of his fist. The fragile stones were shattered, and the hard stones were blown away to an unknown distance, disappearing without a trace.

Finally, the fist shadow left behind a ball of wind with suction, like a small black hole, which exploded after being condensed to the extreme.

"These three wind punches consume the same amount of elemental power, but their power is very different. The last punch is a combat technique evolved from the boxing method I practiced."

The other five holders of the Eye of God, who had already seen it once, were still amazed.

"You may be thinking, 'Why don't I just learn the moves directly? Why do I have to practice those useless basic movements?' Haha, this is the most common mistake made by novices. As the saying goes, experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement. A warrior's moves are never just what they look like. This punch of mine is the result of twenty years of practice. If everyone doesn't use elemental power, I can use my fist to knock down six of you at the same time! You must let your body remember those basic movements and let your body move independently. Only then can they come in handy in actual combat and leave no flaws when fighting with masters."

The chief instructor pointed at his face and said, "Do you see this scar? If it weren't for my body's automatic reaction that made me move back a little, I might have gone blind, or you wouldn't have recognized me at all.

"Whether it's boxing or swordsmanship, any martial arts is the same. How does it feel to learn swordsmanship? Exhausting! Boring! But if you can't even do the basic movements correctly and can't develop conditioned reflexes, will it be too late for you to think of moves when a fight really starts? How long does it take to practice just the power reaching the tip of the sword to become familiar with it? If the power is not smooth and the control of the sword is insufficient, how can the sword move as you wish and hit wherever you point? In a flash, a master can kill you.

"You two are going to fight again. You usually fight small monsters, but you never meet a master. When you are really surrounded by a large group of monsters, you will know what it means to beat a master with random punches."

Wang Chen was shocked. He knew that this small class was specially opened for him.

The West Wind Swordsmanship is indeed a normal attack in the game, but it is not just a set of swordsmanship. Can anyone just do it? To be able to use such a set of swordsmanship, it must be based on the basics and practiced.

"How come you understand my question so clearly?"

The chief instructor laughed and said, "I have been teaching recruits here for eight years and have seen countless people. What kind of recruits have I not seen? Especially those of you who have just received the Eye of God, you are particularly impatient, your ambitions are too high and your hands are too low, and you are unwilling to do this or that."

Wang Chen has already restrained the omniscience of a time traveler in certain areas, as well as the sense of superiority brought by being able to manipulate elemental forces. He treats people and things in a serious manner, and believes that he is willing to listen to advice.

However, in this world of elemental forces, it is indeed wrong to ignore the practice of martial arts. Even if you are injured in the game, your blood will be restored by eating food, but it is different here. If you can't avoid it, you may become disabled or die.

Fortunately, the chief instructor explained it to him clearly.

Wang Chen exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "I have learned a lot."

Next, the instructor personally demonstrated the West Wind Sword Technique to the six people with divine eyes. The moves were the same as those demonstrated by the deputy instructor on the other side, but they felt more smooth.

In Wang Chen's opinion, the sword moves performed by the reserve players on the training ground were like those of novice singers. Although they learned the singing well and did not sing out of tune, each word was just a dot and did not form a line.

In comparison, the deputy instructor's sword was connected like a line, while the chief instructor's sword was completely flawless and even had some personal unique insights.

Although the muscular figure holding the one-handed sword seemed like he was holding a toy, the sword moves were so seamless that people ignored the awkward feeling.

After the demonstration, the chief instructor did not forget to give everyone a glimpse: "There are only five styles of West Wind Swordsmanship, One-handed Sword, but it was created by the legendary figure Rustan, the Wolf Boy. Needless to say, it is very powerful to be passed down to this day. This set of swordsmanship is also a must-learn for everyone who joins the Knights through formal channels. The reason why we choose the one-handed sword as the test is that the greatsword is heavy and requires high strength, and the lance requires even higher skill proficiency, and neither is suitable for training new recruits. But once you pass the selection, you can switch to the greatsword and lance."

Then the chief instructor began to break down the moves and explain them one by one.

"First sword strike, bend the left leg forward, turn the waist to the left to drive the upper body, and chop diagonally with the right hand. Although this strike is the opening move, it is powerful and heavy. A common mistake made by novices is to rely only on the strength of the arms, or to turn the upper body hard. What should really be turned is the waist, only in this way can the body's strength be fully exerted.

"The second sword, continuing the posture of the previous step, uses the force from the hips to drive the legs to complete the whole body to the right, and the sword that was originally sunk to the left front is slashed horizontally from left to right. It should also be noted here that the hips are the roots of the legs. All actions should be driven by the hips. The hips should be used to exert force to complete the right movement.

"The third sword move, using the left leg as a support, rotate the body half a circle from the right, so that the body faces the left side, and chop down at the enemy with the side holding the sword.

“For the fourth sword move, lightly jump up and rotate your body to the left. Hold the sword with both hands and raise it to a suitable height. Perform a powerful spinning strike. Just raise it to the level of your eyebrows or throat.

"Fifth sword, lower your center of gravity, let your body spin to the right like a spinning top, step forward with your right leg, let the sword spin with your body at a suitable height, and sweep in all directions. This move should be placed at the waist and abdomen when facing an enemy of the same height, and at the knees when facing an enemy taller than you."

The chief instructor stopped the demonstration and continued, "The height and direction are not fixed. If you are left-handed, you can change the direction and use whichever side is more convenient. The same applies to the height. There is also the order of moves. When facing the enemy, you don't have to follow this order. The right way is to integrate and adapt to the situation. However, the first three moves have a strong requirement for continuity and can be regarded as a whole.

"The characteristics of West Wind Swordsmanship are: light, fast, and precise. Once you have mastered the essence, your lower body will be very stable. Each move will move forward and have a strong suppressive power."
