Chapter 51 - 51 051 Outrageous Witch Hunter Knight Skills
?Chapter 51: 051 Outrageous Witch Hunter Knight Skills Chapter 51: 051 Outrageous Witch Hunter Knight Skills The Thirteen Roping Skills of the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order are not merely thirteen different ways to flick ropes and whips but thirteen distinct battle systems with different emphases.
Lin An roughly flipped through them, finding himself particularly fond of the ‘Wrapping Skill’ among the thirteen.
The sudden visit from the mini boss earlier hadn’t given him enough time to deal with Chen Shuyun. In his haste, he had shoved her into the wardrobe for the time being, not expecting her to wake up so quickly.
Members related to the Witch Hunter Knights, with the mini boss transforming into a lion, grandly clearing the skies, Witch Chen Shuyun’s gaze a white python ready to pounce at any moment, the red rope in his hand occasionally tightening fiercely, Ugly Head rolling around the room howling in agony…
Under those circumstances, to maintain his composure and let her go ‘gracefully’ was already the limit of what he could achieve.
Even this was thanks to Lin An’s excellent control over emotions, leading Chen Shuyun to believe that she was the one who had been let go.
But in reality, what skill did he have to let her go?
Witchcraft? Breathing Skill? Spiritual techniques?
He simply went with the flow when Chen Shuyun decided to leave.
He definitely didn’t want to experience that feeling for a second time, but he also knew that it was quite likely that Chen Shuyun would come knocking again.
Who knows when Chen Xinmi would show up, and if Chen Shuyun couldn’t find her sister, she would still suspect that her sister was actually sealed within the painting.
What could he do if she showed up again?
Apart from secretly hoping that Chen Xinmi would appear soon to clear up the misunderstanding, Lin An also urgently wanted to find a way to face the crisis head-on.
The Wrapping Skill from the Thirteen Roping Skills could certainly help him with that.
Taking the red rope he had snapped from his hand, he could tie up Chen Shuyun again properly, completely preventing her from casting any witchcraft!
As long as she was thoroughly restrained, wouldn’t he be able to control her at will?
But it wasn’t so easy to practice.
The foundation for learning the ‘Wrapping Skill’ was a well-rounded force, and to master this kind of force, one must first learn the basic skills of the ‘Whisking Skill’ part.
In the video, that dark and muscular middle-aged man held in his hands a thick rope used for sailing, even thicker than Lin An’s arm!
The middle-aged man flicked the rope forcefully, creating a wave that rolled along the rope, and at the end of the five-meter long thick rope, there was a snap.
“You can see from my demonstration just now the mistake. The biggest problem about treating the rope as a conduit for our own strength is that the force diminishes during the swing.”
“We exert fifty pounds of force, but by the time it reaches the end of the rope, there’s only about three pounds left.”
Then he lightly lifted his shoulders, bent his arms, and with a squat of his rear foot, twist of his shoulder, and rotation of his arm, he swung the rope in front of him to form a circle.
This circle shot straight forward, and when the force transmitted to the end of the rope, there was a loud explosion, and it actually smashed a big hole in the cement floor.
Dust flew up, and fragments of cement sprayed.
“But like this, with a well-rounded force, our strength is amplified in the movement of the rope itself, turning fifty pounds of force into five hundred pounds of force.”
“Take note, the longer the rope, the more obvious the amplification effect, but as the force gets heavier, the speed of swinging the rope becomes slower.”
“The beauty of the Whisking Skill lies in the generation of striking, flinging, and sinking forces that come after releasing a well-rounded force. Next, let’s move on to the preliminary basics learning phase. The following is the reading list you need to start with.”
At this point, Lin An’s expression became strange.
“Physics: Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces”
“Belly Dance: The Power of Waist and Abdominal Drumming Brings Strong Driving Force”
“Detailed Explanation of Noodle Making Craftsmanship – Volume 3: The Energy in Shoulder, Back, and Arm Twists and the Toughness of Noodles”
“Strong Kidney Urination Skill (Secret Skill): Please pay attention to the curvature of the stream and the relationship with the force you use”
“African Gecko Skin Drum: Let’s Twist Our Bodies Along with The Rhythm”
…
“…”
Who am I?
What am I doing?
Oh…
I am learning the Whip Skill… right?
Am I crazy, or is the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order crazy?
Lin An was dumbfounded.
He almost opened the folder for “Belly Dance: The Power of Waist and Abdominal Drumming Brings Strong Driving Force” in a life-questioning state, and inside there were more than twenty videos, three PDF book files, a folder full of various anatomical analysis diagrams, and five documents.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, slightly stunned as he clicked on the first video, whereupon a muscle-bound hunk in plain cotton blue-trimmed boxer briefs brazenly appeared before him.
The beefy guy had a radiant smile, and as the video opened, he raised his hands high and twisted his body like a noodle.
“Snap~”
Lin An forcefully hit the space bar on his keyboard, pausing the eye-piercing video that had struck his soul.
46 minutes and 32 seconds!
This video alone was over 46 minutes long!
Just the introduction to the basics of the ‘Whisking Skill’ was this complex. Lin An felt that by the time he mastered the basics of the Whisking Skill, and then moved on to learn the ‘Wrapping Skill,’ Chen Shuyun would have long since stormed his door to kill him!
The grass on his grave would have already grown into a towering tree!
Lin An closed the video and the folder, sighed with his eyes shut, and after a long silence, he eventually clicked to reopen the video.
He…
He didn’t really have a choice, did he?
He couldn’t just close his eyes and lie down to wait for the end.
This seemed like another opportune moment for his spirituality to come into play.
When you think about it, Chen Shuyun’s sudden appearance wasn’t without its gains for him. Aside from that red rope that could touch spirituality, he touched the dark gold blood on the other’s wounds because he was adjusting the ropes that bound the dark gold statue for Chen Shuyun.
Later, he fell into a pool of blood under the feet of the statue, and the amount of spirituality he absorbed from that was extremely significant.
If the intensity of consumption was too rapid and the blood in his head couldn’t replenish it in time, he would have to use this dark gold blood.
Next…
He’d enter a state of intense learning.
A 46-minute video? Speed up the playback, and then speed it up again, and it wouldn’t take as much time.
After pouring himself a glass of water and hugging the ugly head in his arms, Lin An sat down in his chair with a serious expression and clicked to start the video.
“What are you doing~ Don’t hold me like that~ It’s too weird! Let me down!”
The head was squirming and mumbling in his arms, but Lin An had already focused all his attention on the video.
The belly dance demonstration video showed the muscle man wearing only briefs not because he was an exhibitionist, but to better display the state of each muscle during movement.
The muscle man twisted slightly and broke down the movement into five smaller actions, explaining from four dimensions—sinew, bone, muscle, skin—the parts of the body each small movement involved and the underlying logic of why it was done that way.
Lin An watched for a while, then stripped off his shirt, kicked away his chair, and using the spiritual energy to aid in a deeper understanding with the Black Cat Picture’s breathing method, he seriously followed along with the movements shown in the video.
He felt the actual sensation of each sinew and bone being stretched as described in the video, feeling the strength and tension of each muscle as it extended and contracted.
Quick!
He had to learn at the fastest speed possible!
He couldn’t waste a single minute!
Chen Shuyun could break into his home at any time!
For a wizard like Chen Shuyun, who had divination abilities and could sense the presence of others, it was useless for Lin An to run to a hotel to stay.
Unless he was willing to give up everything and leave the city.
Learning belly dancing for the Thirteen Roping Skills’ Whisking Skill was weird, but once he actually started it seemed to make sense.
The Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order’s roping skills looked like a mishmash, a patchwork creature.
But at their core, they still straight pointed to ’rounded strength.’ The Witch Hunter Knights ingeniously utilized ‘Belly Dance,’ an already well-developed physical skill, for beginners to learn by analogy and association.
The folder “Belly Dance: The Power of Waist and Abdominal Drumming Brings Strong Driving Force” contained several videos that did not introduce belly dancing in its entirety but extracted parts relevant to assist in learning the ‘Whisking Skill.’
As Lin An studied these belly dancing techniques, he strangely felt like he was learning the ‘Spirit Cat Spinal Stretching Technique.’
The ultimate effect of the Spirit Cat Spinal Stretching Technique was to have the spine drive the movement of the entire body’s sinew, bone, muscle, and skin; however, in the belly dance techniques extracted by the Witch Hunter Knights, the area that drove the body’s sinew, bone, muscle, and skin became the waist and abdomen.
The Spirit Cat emphasized agility, whereas belly dance emphasized strength.
The content of belly dance he was learning from the video wasn’t vast, but each detail was extensively and meticulously explained.
So extensively and meticulously that Lin An could actually understand it as he followed along.
You have to know, when he learned the Spirit Cat Spinal Stretching Technique at first, he was sneaking around with little Lu Jiao illustrations, then he even drew the Black Cat Picture to aid in comprehending the ‘rhythm’ to master it thoroughly.
But this movement method centered on the waist and abdomen was so approachable and simple, yet he could implement it step by step just by following along.
“Slap slap~” The muscular man turned around and slapped the muscles on the back of his thighs, “Pay attention. When we twist and lift up towards the upper left side here, you need to distinguish the muscles in the left and right waist when exerting strength…”
“One, two, three, four… two, two, three, four… eh~, see that? The interplay between the legs and the waist. The brilliance is in this detail.”
“When using the rope, power starts from the ground, with the waist and abdomen as the core; the buffer zone between the ground strength and the core waist and abdomen is the thigh muscles…”
“They play a moderating role. A greater force isn’t always better, it needs to be within a proper strength range, and that’s where the adjustment plays a big…”
Lin An, holding the head in one hand, mimicked the muscular man with his palm on his body to feel the muscle movement, and twisted along with the instruction.
