Chapter 483 The essence of swordsmanship I
Hubert changed the topic because he had no plans to hear about how strong and awesome Kyle's first master was.
"I remember you said you use a sword as your main weapon, right? Show me some basic moves."
"That way, I can gauge how much mystery you have over swordsmansthip and see how far you have come with it."
"I usually prefer to fight with my fists, and my main focus has always been on spearmanship. But I have also trained extensively in swordsmanship and many other arts of combat. So, I can guide you because pushing your body to extreme limits all the time without proper balance can lead to harm rather than strength."
Kyle stared at the old man as the latter waited for him to perform the basic sword moves. He furrowed his brows.
"How can I show you the moves when I don't have a sword?" Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
Hubert smiled as he moved and snapped a tree branch from a nearby tree, causing the gray leaves to cascade over his head.
"It seems you have always used high-rank weapons for your swordsmanship, huh? I wonder how many weapons you have changed and broken until now."
"Kyle, you should learn how everything around you has the potential to become your weapon."
He gazed at a falling leaf and performed a basic swordsmanship move, a slash, in front of Kyle with a deliberate yet graceful manner.
Kyle's eyes narrowed as he watched the leaf being cleanly cut into two pieces before the pieces fell to the ground softly. He observed every move of Hubert, noting how the old man used the branch to slice the leaf, capturing not just the cut but also the essence of the moment.
'I never expected him to be so adept at replicating and comprehending what he saw just once with his eyes.'
It was to be expected because all Kyle ever did was train his body under his guidance. So, how would he know the human would be so good at learning?
Hubert wanted to ask about what type of sword art Kyle had learned because they were quite famous everywhere. But before he could, Kyle started demonstrating the other basic move of swordsmanship with the branch held in his hand.
The old man focused his eye on Kyle's as the human thrust the branch forward in a stabbing motion before slashing it in a sweeping cutting motion.
Kyle then stepped back and, with a swift movement, held out the branch in front of him in a defensive move as if to parry an attack. Only to lunge forward in the next moment in a sudden movement to attack before he slowly lowered the branch just like a sword in a graceful manner.
Hubert barely managed to keep his jaw from dropping because with each move, he could clearly see that Kyle was picking up what he taught the human.
How many times did he demonstrate that move again!? He only showed that move once, just one frickin time!
'Don't tell me I somehow... got a genius disciple who is made for swordsmanship?!'
He schooled his expression and glanced at Kyle with a smile as if just a moment ago the human didn't give him such a big surprise.
"I can clearly see you are good with the basics. Kyle, I believe you have learned a sword Art? They are available in almost everywhere."
The old man paused for a second.
"Do you remember your Art moves? It's been three months since you arrived on this land, and I believe you have forgotten a lot of things."
