Chapter 58 Carlisle Cullen

A pale-skinned and handsome middle-aged vampire, could not help but be a little surprised when he heard about Bella's intention.

A woman, a woman in modern society, actually wanted to compete with him in fencing.

Carlisle Cullen was very old. He was born in 1640. He did know fencing and had practiced hard for a long time. Frankly speaking, his fencing skills were not considered a master in those days, but they were definitely not low.

His wife and children were transformed into vampires in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In that era, guns and cannons were prevalent. Armor, war horses, and crossbows were thrown into the garbage. Who would practice swordsmanship?

It was not until modern society that fencing was once again discovered by people with money and leisure.

Carlisle didn't know whether Bella was acting on impulse, fooling around, or had other purposes. He glanced at Alice Cullen in a very covert way.

The short-haired vampire began to encourage him: "Bella's swordsmanship is very powerful! Anyway, I think it's very powerful. You guys should compare swordsmanship! Don't hesitate, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Yes, Uncle Carlisle, let's compare swordsmanship. I practice alone, and there are always some small problems." Bella's attitude was also quite sincere.

  "Yes, go up and try."

  "Let's open our eyes!"

The remaining vampire children were also making a fuss. A human woman came to these antiques to compete in fencing in this era. This matter was so fresh that he would feel sorry for himself if he didn't join in the fun.

Carlisle Cullen couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the crowd. In his own home, he was not afraid of Bella, an outsider, let alone his own safety. After thinking about it, he bit the bullet and competed with Bella.

He had thrown away his saber long ago, and now he was using a rapier made by modern technology.

Carlisle Cullen stepped on the open space, waving the rapier at the same time, looking for the feel.

He hadn't practiced this thing for at least three hundred years!

I did learn it seriously at first, and I have experienced many life-and-death battles since then.

It is said that once you master this skill, you will never forget it for a lifetime, but that lifetime refers to the lifetime of an ordinary person, not the lifetime of a vampire. Carlisle Cullen felt that he was very unfamiliar with the touch of the sword.

He slowly found the feeling of swinging the sword, and Bella did not urge him.

It was not until ten minutes later that Carlisle Cullen smiled and said that it was time to start.

In terms of specifications, both of them used heavy swords. Bella's sword was 90 cm long and weighed 720 grams, while Carlisle's sword was longer and slightly heavier.

It was not a formal competition, so they did not wear protective gear, and there were no rules for 11 swords or 21 swords.

Carlisle Cullen's wrist trembled slightly, and the tip of the sword covered all of Bella's attack angles: "I haven't played this thing for a long time. I hope I don't lose too badly."

Bella was also quite modest: "Uncle, please show mercy. I just learned it."

The next second, she, who had just learned it, began a fierce attack.   

Pirates' understanding of swordsmanship is definitely different from that of nobles. They are fast, accurate, and ruthless. They don't need any etiquette or manners. They can kill the opponent in the shortest time. This is the swordsmanship of pirates.

Carlisle Cullen took into account his age and didn't think Bella's swordsmanship could be that good. For a modern person, fencing is just for fun at best. How good can it be? Therefore, he took a defensive stance.

But after a few moves, he felt a huge pressure. He originally wanted to defend a few more moves, but at this time, facing the surging offensive, he had to use his height and long arms to counterattack.

Both of them moved very quickly, and they mastered the rhythm between advance and retreat, between attack and defense, and between release and retraction very well.

Bella's swordsmanship is about the word "fast". On the sea, between the sides of the ship, knocking down the enemy at the fastest speed is the essence of pirate swordsmanship.

Carlisle also slowly exerted all his strength. The noble swordsmanship is about stability. They don't need to risk their lives like civilians. They often consider how to save their lives. There are relatively more defensive moves in swordsmanship.

Bella's moves were fast, but she was inexperienced and was fooled by the opponent several times with some tricks. Carlisle was weak in attack and kept using his superior experience to deal with it.

The two fought from the ground to the tree. They stood on branches as thick as children's arms and swung their swords. The blades intersected and made continuous crisp sounds, as if playing a beautiful and moving piece of music.

Bella just felt a little regretful. If she played the background music of Pirates of the Caribbean at this time, maybe her swordsmanship could be two points faster. As the fighting time prolonged, Carlisle slowly regained his state. The elegant middle-aged vampire fought very beautifully both in attack and defense.

The vampires watching not far away had to say that they were a little surprised. They didn't see fencing at all in the era they lived in. This martial art was very far away from them.

Carlisle came from that era. His swordsmanship was good, but not new. Where did Bella's swordsmanship come from? Was it taught by the school teacher? Does the physical education teacher of Fox High School have this ability?

Bella and Carlisle's sparring ended quickly. There was no such thing as a battle that lasted a whole day and night. There were only a few moves in fencing.

When sparring, it was more about learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, absorbing each other's style, and perfecting one's own swordsmanship.

"Your attack moves are too sharp. It would be better to change the small bow step followed by a sprint to a straight stab."

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Carlisle was still more skilled. After the battle, he also gave a few pointers at the right time.

Bella also found the problem in her swordsmanship. There were too many killing moves.

If it was a life-and-death battle, there was no problem. Just kill the enemy and it was over. Why bother so much? But if you are going to be in the limelight in the university club, you must change some moves to make your swordsmanship more beautiful and elegant. Don't stab the eyes, stab the heart, stab the lower three roads, etc.

It can't be compared with the original time and space, but after a while, Bella still got familiar with this family of Buddhist vampires and came to learn fencing from Carlisle from time to time.

Bella designed two sets of sword techniques for herself. One set of sword techniques made her pull out a pistol while fighting, and another set of sword techniques looked particularly gorgeous and had beautiful moves.

Carlisle's children also learned it for two days, but they all felt that it was meaningless.

The big guy Emmett Cullen thought that fencing was not as practical as boxing. It was inconvenient to carry and had many rules. In modern society, what else was it used for except showing off?

What do you think? I mainly did it to show off! Bella had a clear purpose and learned a lot of fancy moves. She had already imagined herself showing off her prowess in the Stanford Fencing Club and receiving crazy praise from a large number of fans!
