Human Shackles - Chapter49

"Fighting competition?" Luo Kai scratched his head a little, he didn't want to be in the limelight.

"Yes, the fighting competition is organized by the Body Technique Research Association, the age of the participants must not exceed 25 years old. The five people with the highest ranking can go to the sacred land of body technique, Shangjing University to study for a year!"

The fatty continued frankly, "I just need you to help me fight for a place. When the time comes, someone else will take your place and go to Higashimogami Province.

As long as you promise me this, I will take you in as my fourth disciple and teach you some powerful body techniques. Kid, I know you have offended a lot of big powers outside, but as long as you become my disciple, no one in Longyang City will dare to do anything to you. This condition is not bad, right? "

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Luo Kai was a little speechless, this is asking me to be the gunman. He pointed at himself and said, "That … … fighting competition, can I?"

The fatty laughed and said, "Haha, of course you can. To be honest, if I didn't owe someone a huge favor, I really wouldn't be willing to do this kind of thing. Don't worry, if this matter is successful, I can guarantee you a position in the army, at the very least, you will be a commander of a battalion."

Luo Kai pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "I can promise you, but I don't need you to help me get a position, I just want to learn some real skills."

The fatty said with admiration, "Your fist technique is very unique, you don't need me to teach you anything. Humans are still the best at using weapons. Other than fighting bare-handed, there is also the use of weapons in the fighting competition. What kind of weapon are you good at?"

Luo Kai thought for a while and said, "Does a gun count?"

"Of course not, guns and cannons are considered mechanical weapons, they are limited by mechanical technology. I am talking about cold weapons."

Luo Kai shook his head, "Then I don't know how to use them."

"Follow me."

The fatty thought for a while, then led Luo Kai into the back hall. They walked to the entrance of an underground room, the heavy iron door slowly opened, and an ice-cold aura assaulted their faces.

There was a row of weapon racks in the basement, filled with all kinds of cold weapons. There were rough knight's greatswords, chipped bone axes, sharp swords that gleamed with cold light …

Luo Kai's eyes were attracted by a strange weapon hanging on the wall. It was a long sword that looked like a ruler. It was nearly two meters long, and only one side of the blade was sharpened. The blade was densely covered with spiral patterns. When he looked at it, he actually felt a slight dizziness, which made him secretly amazed. But how could he wield such a long sword?

"Brat, you have good eyesight. This is a straight saber. It can also be called a 'Mo Saber'. It's a great killing weapon on the battlefield!" the fatty said in a complacent manner.

Luo Kai couldn't help but feel envious as he asked, "Isn't this blade too long? How do I operate it?"

The fatty looked at the straight saber lovingly: "The straight saber is known for its unparalleled sharpness. If it is operated by a powerful body warrior, it can cut a steam tank in one blow. The specific practice method is simply practice makes perfect. You can wield the saber a thousand times a day. After a year of diligent practice, you can barely operate it."

Ross, who followed behind, smiled and introduced: "Master served in the army in his early years. This straight saber in his hand killed countless enemies. He killed several body warriors and even berserk beasts died under this straight saber."

The fatty smiled and said, "Alright, you can choose any weapon here. Treat it as my gift to you."

"Thank you."

In this case, Luo Kai was not polite and continued to look at other weapons. Although he liked the straight saber very much, this kind of weapon was too big and inconvenient to carry. He was used to working alone, so it was best to choose a small weapon that was convenient to carry.

It is said that man is the spirit of all things. In fact, all things in the world have spirituality. This kind of spirituality is mysterious and difficult to say. It can only be sensed by a person's sixth sense.

Luo Kai didn't know how he ended up in the corner of the basement. There was a long and narrow box covered in dust. The lock was full of rust, and it opened with a gentle twist. Inside was a thirty-centimeter-long three-bladed bayonet. There were still traces of dark red blood left in the blood groove. It shone with a cold light and was very sharp. Just looking at it made one's heart feel cold.

There was some love in his heart. This kind of weapon was just right. It was convenient to carry and lethal. He couldn't bear to put it down. He stabbed it a few times. The sound in the air was endless and the cold coolness spread in an instant.

The fatty stood in the distance with a strange look on his face and said, "You choose this?"

Luo Kai turned to look at him. Only then did he realize that his face was not right. He scratched his head and said, "Can't I?

Then I'll change it. "Some reluctantly put the bayonet back into the box.

"It's not that you can't, alas!"

The fatty sighed. His face was full of nostalgia. He said, "This bayonet almost took my life back then. If it weren't for the fact that I am different from ordinary people and have two hearts, I'm afraid that I would have been stabbed to death."

Luo Kai was shocked. He said in surprise, "You … you are also a mutant?"

"Well, if you like it, then take it. I just want to remind you that this bayonet has killed too many people. Most of the people who died were not killed in open battle. They were assassinated. The evil aura of the dead is very strong. If the wielder's heart is not strong enough, it is very likely that their mind will be affected by the evil aura."

Luo Kai hesitated. In the past two years, the number of people who died under his hands was estimated to be in the double digits. With the growth of his strength, he could feel the existence of the evil aura. This kind of mysterious energy could greatly increase the courage of people. At the same time, it could also make people addicted to killing.

Killing was a kind of addiction to any life form. For example, the top predators. Sometimes they were not hungry, but they would kill aimlessly to relieve their addiction.

In the depths of his heart, he already had this kind of addiction. It was to the extent that he could not suppress his desire to kill in the prison yesterday.

The fatty looked at Luo Kai in a daze and said in a low voice, "Any weapon depends on its wielder. If your heart is strong enough, you will naturally not be affected by this bit of evil aura. Instead, you will be able to control it!"

Luo Kai came back to his senses. He picked up the box containing the bayonet and bowed sincerely to the fatty. "Master is right!"

Liu Hou laughed heartily. "Very good. What do you want to learn?

I passed my Straight Blade Technique to Eldest Brother. He is serving in the prefectural army. Second Brother learned my Ultimate Round Body Technique and has always been by my side. Third Brother has a free and easy personality. He learned a little of everything. I don't know where he is now. "

Liu Hou's meaning was clear. He was best at the Straight Blade Technique and the Ultimate Round Body Technique. If Luo Kai wanted to learn the real skills, he would have to choose between the two.

Luo Kai hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Then … Then I want to learn the ability you used to control other people's heartbeats."

Liu Hou stared at him in surprise for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "Good lad. You've taken a fancy to my greatest ability right from the start. However, this ability can't be learned. You have to figure it out yourself. If you have nothing better to do, you should listen to more music. Or rather, listen to the frequency of vibrations. If you have good comprehension, you might be able to figure it out on your own one day."

Since he could not learn this ability, Luo Kai could only choose the Straight Blade Technique. He already had the Soft Forging Body Technique and the Mighty Dragon Fist. Currently, he was lacking some techniques in the field of weapons. Regardless of whether it was the past or the future, the blade was always the most practical weapon. In comparison, swords, with the exception of one type of greatsword, were mostly used for decoration. They were not suitable for actual combat.
