Chapter 229 Sinaqi's Training
Seeing that Sinagi, who had just struggled to lift the greatsword, now easily raised it, the others were somewhat bewildered.
Completely baffled, the group stopped thinking about it. Upon arriving at the training ground, Qiuhe and Si Naqi found themselves on opposite sides of each other.
Qiuhe casually picked up a silver sword from the weapon rack in the training ground. "Come on, Sinaqi, don't hold back, attack me with all your might."
Seeing that Qiuhe was only carrying an ordinary silver sword, everyone was confused about what kind of trick he was playing. "Leyi, Sinaqi is carrying the Wave Shadow Broadsword."
"And what you're holding is just an ordinary silver sword. Let alone a silver sword, even a powerful one-handed sword can't fight against a greatsword."
Akikawa listened indifferently and said, "It's alright. To me, it makes no difference whether it's a greatsword or a one-handed sword. Come on, Sinagi, don't hold back."
Seeing that Qiuhe wasn't joking, Si Naqi hesitated for a moment. "I... um... well, brother, you have to be careful. I... I'm going to do it!"
Qiuhe brandished his sword, pointing it straight ahead. "Come on, don't hold back." Seeing this, Si Naqi tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword.
Having made up her mind, she raised her greatsword and attacked Qiuhe. Seeing Sinaqi charging forward without any strategy or skill, she was completely overwhelmed.
Qiuhe realized that his guess had come true. When Sina rushed in front of Qiuhe, she swung her greatsword downwards with great force.
Qiuhe easily dodged the slash with a simple sidestep, and then tapped Sinaqi's forehead with two fingers of his silver sword.
"Such a mindless charge is ineffective. Recall your swordsmanship when you sparred with the coach." Listening to Qiuhe's gentle instruction, Si Naqi covered her forehead with her hands.
Her face also revealed a pitiful look. Naturally, she wanted to do as Qiuhe said, but the previous battle with the coach and the monster-clearing outside...
She was almost always driven by her physical instincts to fight, but today she couldn't even wield the greatsword, and now she was just mindlessly attacking. Sinaqi didn't know what was wrong with her.
"I'm sorry, brother." Qiuhe sighed softly and picked up the greatsword that had fallen to the ground. "In battle, a sword must never be out of hand. Here, take it. Let's try again."
In the end, the trial lasted for an hour. Sinaqi attacked Qiuhe countless times, but she couldn't touch him at all.
Qiuhe kept catching her as she was laid down. After a long period of training, Sinaqi's breathing became rapid, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
But her gaze grew increasingly resolute. Each time Qiuhe deftly dodged her attacks and gently corrected her, she drew strength from it to grow stronger.
Qiuhe's every defense was perfectly timed, showcasing his profound swordsmanship while giving Sinaqi ample space to reflect and learn.
Sinaqi charged again, wielding her greatsword. The clash of their swords produced intense sparks. Then, Qiuhe blocked Sinaqi's greatsword with a single strike.
The one-handed sword slammed Sinagi's greatsword into the ground. "Sinagi, remember, battle is not just a contest of strength, but also a combination of wisdom and skill."
"Your strength is great, but if you can't use it flexibly, you'll just be like a headless fly bumping around aimlessly." These gentle words, every single one of their teachings, were deeply imprinted in Sinaqi's heart.
The words of technique echoed in her mind, and at that moment she also remembered that day when her instincts drove her to grip her greatsword tightly and block the Hilichurl Thug's Fire Axe attack, followed by a follow-up slash.
The next second, Sina stopped trying to lift the greatsword, instead spinning it to its side and bringing it flat against Qiuhe's sword before swiftly sweeping it horizontally towards Qiuhe's leg.
Qiuhe, sensing the danger, used her strength as leverage to dodge the sweeping sword with a sidestep. Seeing this, Si Naqi's sharp eyes...
She also seized upon this opening in the horizontal sweep, gripping her greatsword tightly and using the momentum of the sweep to raise it above her head, drawing a semi-circle in the air before delivering a perfectly smooth low sweep.
As Qiuhe's legs lifted off the ground and pointed high into the air, Si Naqi's sword strike directly severed the one-handed sword supporting Qiuhe. With the sword broken...
Having lost his footing, Qiuhe forced a mid-air flip to regain his balance, and then both of them remained still. They stared at their broken swords.
Qiuhe remained silent for a few seconds. Finally, a very gratified smile appeared on his face, and he slowly raised his hand to pat Si Naqi's head.
"Sina, you did a great job!" Looking at Qiuhe's incredibly gentle smile, Sina's bright, jewel-like eyes sparkled...
A glint of light flashed across her face, and finally she threw down her greatsword and hugged Qiuhe tightly. "Thank you, brother. I've really learned so much."
Seeing this, Qiuhe gently embraced Sinaqi. Meanwhile, in the doctor's office in Zhidong, Kujavina was lying on a treatment table.
Her body was now covered in thin tubes, and those tubes seemed to be delivering some kind of unknown liquid into Kujavina's body.
Next to it, a huge machine was running, and its screen displayed a lot of data that was completely incomprehensible.
The Doctor, watching all this from the sidelines, wore an enigmatic smile. "Kugavina, that child seems to be far more complex than you and I imagined."
"It needs to be even more mysterious and unpredictable." The doctor muttered to himself as he spoke to Kujavina, who lay unconscious on the treatment bed.
At that moment, Kujavina, who was still unconscious, suddenly felt her eyelids twitch a few times.
................................................
Time flies, and the next day has arrived in the blink of an eye. The children of the Hearth House have all gathered at the training ground, while the lady sitting in the office...
She was also looking at the sparring roster in her hand. After finishing reading the roster, the lady's icy and unwavering eyes slowly narrowed as she looked at the foolish envoys before her.
Upon seeing the woman's gaze, the foolish envoy trembled in fear. "Madam, is there anything else you require?"
Seeing this, the woman glanced back at the sparring roster in her hand, as if deep in thought. "How did that girl, Qiu Shanshan, do in her sparring?"
When the lady asked about Qiu Shanshan, the foolish envoy replied, "Ah, that little girl. She is one of the children favored by Lady Kujavina."
"This month, Lady Kujavina just started having these children compete, and that girl came in second place in the last competition." "Second place? Then who came in first?" The lady asked curiously.
The foolish envoy introduced again: "Ah, the first place is a girl named Peruvieri, she is Lady Kugavina's most valued one."
To put it bluntly, this girl already meets all of Lady Kujavina's standards for a king. Hearing this, the lady fell into thought once more.
“Peruveli… Oh~. She’s that girl with white hair, black sideburns, and red X’s in her pupils, right?” “Uh, um, yes, that’s right.”
"That's the girl." "And what about the child named Leyi?" "That child? He's only been at Hearth House for a few months."
His practice test score was last, and he was eliminated by that girl named Qiu Shanshan as soon as he appeared.” Meanwhile, on the practice field…
Qiuhe was already on the field, and according to the match order from the previous life, the person standing opposite Qiuhe was none other than Qiuer, while the children watching from the platform...
Watching Qiuhe fight Qiuer, the children all had very expectant looks on their faces, thinking about the strength Qiuhe had displayed the day before yesterday.
Although the children couldn't understand the maneuvers, one thing they did understand was that Qiuhe had defeated the person who had hurt Kujavina.
Therefore, in the minds of these children, Qiuhe's defeat of Qin Yuming is roughly equivalent to his defeat of Kujavina, and they are now very curious.
Who is stronger, Qiuhe or this mad dog in front of him? "Ha. I thought you were so scared by what happened the other day that you ran away with your tail between your legs."
"Looks like you haven't figured it out..." "You'd be better off attacking me than barking at me like a dog. Tsk... never mind. I'm too lazy to repeat myself."
Before Qiu Er could finish speaking, Qiu He retorted, and Qiu He stopped talking immediately, his face instantly displaying an expression as if he were looking at excrement.
"Trash." Qiuhe slowly uttered two words, which landed squarely in Qiu'er's ears.
