They all call me Great Master-Chapter 430 427: Sincere Arthur!

Arthur was definitely not the kind of man who said he couldn't pick it up but secretly practiced combos.

He was genuinely not good at handling the situation at hand: saving the day by stalling for time.

The reason he took the initiative to step forward, of course, was because the situation allowed him to gain XP more effectively.

"Arthur, it's up to you now.

Please make sure to stall for an hour,"

the Female Swordmaster requested earnestly.

"I'll try."

Arthur said this as he walked toward the arena. Seeing Arthur reappear, the people of South Los in Elta Square began to applaud voluntarily.

By the time Arthur stepped onto the arena, the applause was thunderous.

Everyone was looking at Arthur with smiles.

Everyone was looking at Arthur with anticipation.

This scene almost made Arthur blurt out, "If the mountains and rivers allow me, not making money through evil, Apprentice Arthur, salutes my benefactors,"

but he held back in the nick of time.

And that statement turned into—

"Some issues arose in today's championship match, as it ended prematurely due to my reasons, much earlier than expected—our Lord Count had prepared beautiful fireworks for everyone. Although it's not impossible to set off fireworks in the evening, the sunset is also lovely; we can quietly enjoy the sunset before welcoming the brilliant fireworks.

So, I was pulled here by the respected Swordsmanship Master Julie to save the day.

My reasons, naturally, are for me to rectify."

Arthur did not hide the reason for his appearance on the arena.

Although most people could guess, Arthur's sincerity still earned everyone's favor, and the applause, which had just subsided, started again.

Arthur waited with a smile for the applause to die down before he continued.

"I can't change cards; I can't turn a playing card into any card I want.

Neither can I move objects through the air; I can't just summon any item I want with a wave of my hand.

I certainly can't summon the undead; I can't make the Lost Souls obey with just a thought.

I'm just a regular 'Spirit Medium', maybe with a bit of swordsmanship Talent.

So, all I can do here is share some—swordsmanship knowledge."

Arthur's words captivated everyone present.

As the Champion of this Swordsmanship Competition, Arthur's prowess was verified, witnessed firsthand by them.

Even if they hadn't understood, hopefully, with Arthur's instruction, they would get stronger?

Many children and young people's eyes were shining.

Older folks were also looking on with curiosity.

Under everyone's gaze, Arthur looked towards the Swordsmanship Master.

"Swordsmanship Master Julie, please fetch me a standard longsword."

"Okay."

The Female Swordmaster nodded.

As the two conversed, the gaze of the crowd in Elta Square naturally fell upon the Female Swordmaster, especially when she picked up a standard longsword, everyone's gaze turned curious.

Too small!

The standard-sized longsword looked like a mere firewood stick in the hands of this 2.5-meter-tall Female Swordmaster.

But in Arthur's hands, it became normal size again.

This instant contrast made the people of South Los involuntarily widen their eyes.

Arthur saw this scene.

This was what he wanted.

He himself hated dull teaching.

Therefore, he hoped to make his swordsmanship knowledge teaching a bit more lively—

"Now, please imagine you are in a duel with Swordsmanship Master Julie."

Following Arthur's words, the people of South Los involuntarily immersed themselves in the scenario of dueling with the Female Swordmaster.

Then…

Everyone shuddered.

There was no chance of winning!

No chance at all!

It could only end up being torn to shreds!

The size difference was too great!

"This is the first lesson in swordsmanship knowledge. Do not compete with an opponent bigger than you, not just in swordplay but also in hand-to-hand combat.

However, life is often not as we wish it to be.

You can hardly ensure that you are always safe and never face such situations.

That's why you need swordsmanship—

swordsmanship and combat skills exist to enable the weak to overcome the strong!"

Arthur said as he lifted the standard-issue longsword in his hand and gently rotated it.

"Now, everyone, grip your sword tightly, rotate your longsword with your wrist, and feel your sword finely. Once you find its center of gravity, direct your force along the direction of that center and strike down."

As he spoke, Arthur's longsword slashed down.

Whoosh!

The sharp cutting through the air startled everyone at Elta Square.

Because it appeared that Arthur did not swing hard, just a gentle flick, yet he produced such a sound of slicing through the air.

"This is a kind of accumulation of power. It is not difficult to achieve this..."

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Arthur explained.

This was not any high-level swordsmanship, just as he said, it was merely swordsmanship common sense.

Once the center of gravity of the longsword is found, it's just like using a longsword to cut bread.

The longsword must quickly slice through the bread while swinging, and when one can slice the bread uniformly thin, that is considered passing.

<>Next, it's slicing tofu.

Being able to slice the tofu without breaking it and also uniformly means you can go and light incense.

Of course, at this stage, it is enough to teach how to find the longsword's center of gravity.

For the next period, the people of South Los at Elta Square were doing just that. Most ordinary citizens did not have a sword, but this did not prevent them from making gestures in the air.

Seeing that everyone was getting into it, Arthur let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Handled!

He could ensure that for the next while, everyone would be immersed in the world of swordsmanship.

Normally, of course, this wouldn't be possible.

But with the "Sound of Death" and its "Bewitchment," it was different.

Although he didn't add the 'Power of Death', it was enough to persuade those who heard Arthur's voice, and when most people began making gestures, the rest?

They would join in too.

In fact, this was the case.

Under Arthur's guidance, the people of South Los on the scene were all feeling themselves getting stronger, and even many of them were itching to spar with those around them.

However, Arthur would not allow such a thing to happen—

"Learning swordsmanship is for physical fitness and just in case.

We need to thank Lord Count for allowing us to live in a safe and prosperous South Los, not that we really need to live by the blade.

So, if you really want to practice swordsmanship, please come to Joel Jock Swordsmanship Club. It is a swordsmanship club under my name.

You can exchange and practice there."

Arthur honestly advertised for himself.

And 'honestly' thanked the Earl of South Los.

This wasn't just flattery.

It was a way to bridge the distance between them.

And this approach was quite effective. During the time that followed, the female swordsmanship chief was always keeping a smile and Arthur was doing the same.

After all, it was a win-win!

Only when the champion was officially announced did a hint of surprise appear in Arthur's eyes.

Is that even possible?
