Carlisle Cullen, a middle-aged vampire with pale skin and handsome appearance, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard about Bella's purpose.

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

Carlisle Cullen is very old. He was born in 1640. He does know how to fence and has practiced hard for a long time. Frankly speaking, his swordsmanship was not considered a master at that time, but it was definitely not bad.

And his wife and children were all transformed into vampires at the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, guns were prevalent, armor, war horses, and crossbows were all thrown into the garbage. Who would practice swordsmanship!

It was only in modern society that things like fencing were discovered again by people with money and leisure.

Carlisle didn't know whether Bella was doing it on the spur of the moment, just for fun, or if she had some other purpose. He glanced at Alice Cullen very covertly.

The beautiful vampire with short black hair began to encourage him: "Bella's swordsmanship is very powerful! Anyway, I think it is very powerful. You guys are making gestures! Don't hesitate, hurry up, hurry up!"

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

"Yeah, go up and try."

“Let’s open our eyes!”

The remaining vampire children were also making noises. In this day and age, a human woman came to compete with antiques like them to compete in fencing. No matter how novel she thought this was, she would be sorry if she didn't join in the fun.

Carlisle Cullen really couldn't resist the enthusiasm of everyone. In his own home, Bella, an outsider, was not afraid, and he didn't have to worry about his own safety. After much thought, he bravely decided to compete with Bella.

His sword from back then had been thrown away long ago, and now he was using a rapier made with modern craftsmanship.

Carlisle Cullen took steps in the open space, waving the rapier at the same time, looking for the feel.

I haven’t practiced this thing for at least three hundred years!

I did learn it seriously at the beginning, and later experienced many life-and-death fights. 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

I felt that I was very unfamiliar with the touch of the sword.

He slowly searched for the feeling of swinging the sword without Bella urging him.

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

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

It wasn't a formal competition, they didn't wear protective gear, and there were no rules of 11 swords or 21 swords.

Carlisle Cullen's wrist shook slightly, and the sword tip covered all Bella's attack angles: "I haven't played this thing for a long time. I hope the loss won't be too ugly."

Bella was also quite modest: "Uncle, please be merciful. I'm just learning."

The next second, she, a newbie, started to attack ferociously.

Pirates' understanding of swordsmanship is definitely different from that of nobles. It is fast, accurate, and ruthless. It does not require any etiquette or grace. It can kill the opponent in the shortest time. This is the swordsmanship of pirates.

Carlisle Cullen considered that he was older, and he didn't think Bella's swordsmanship could be very good. For a modern person, fencing is just for fun. How good could it be? So he took a defensive stance.

But as soon as a few moves passed, he felt huge pressure. He originally wanted to defend a few more moves, but now faced with the surging offensive, he had to use his height and arm length to counterattack.

The movements of both of them are extremely fast, and they have an excellent grasp of the rhythm between advance and retreat, attack and defense, and retraction and release.

Bella's swordsmanship focuses on the word "quick". On the sea and between the sides of the ship, defeating the enemy as quickly as possible is the essence of pirate swordsmanship.

Carlisle also gradually showed his full strength. The swordsmanship of the nobles is about stability. They don't need to fight for their lives like the common people. They think more about how to save their lives. There are relatively many defensive moves in swordsmanship.

Bella's moves were fast, but she was inexperienced and was deceived by the opponent several times with some tricks. Carlisle, on the other hand, was weak in attack and kept using his superior experience to get around.

The two of them hit the tree from the ground. They stood on a branch as thick as a child's arm and swung their swords. The sword blades met and made a continuous crisp sound, as if they were playing a beautiful and moving piece of music.

Bella only felt a little regretful. If a Pirates of the Caribbean BGM was played for her at this time, maybe her swordsmanship would be two points faster. As the fighting time extended, Carlisle gradually regained his form.

The elegant middle-aged vampire played extremely well both offensively and defensively.

The vampires watching not far away had to be a little surprised. They lived in an era where fencing was not seen at all, and this kind of martial arts was already far away from them.

Carlisle is from that era, and his swordsmanship is good but not new. Where did Bella's swordsmanship come from? Was it taught by a school teacher? Does the physical education teacher at Fox High School have this ability?

Bella and Carlisle's sparring session ended quickly. There was no such thing as a day-and-night battle. There were only a few fencing moves going back and forth. The sparring session was more about learning from each other's strengths, absorbing each other's style, and perfecting one's own fencing skills.

"Your attack moves are too sharp. It would be better to change the small lunge followed by sprinting to a straight thrust."

Simply talking about swordsmanship, Carlisle was better. After the battle, he also gave some timely advice.

Bella also discovered a problem with her swordsmanship. There were too many killing moves. If it was a life-and-death battle, that would be no problem. Just kill the enemy and it would be over. Why bother? But if you want to be popular in the university club, you must

Change some moves to make the swordsmanship more beautiful and elegant. Don't stab the eyes, stab the heart, stab in three directions and so on.

It was incomparable to the original time and space, but after going back and forth, Bella became familiar with this family of Buddhist vampires, and came to learn fencing from Carlisle from time to time.

Bella designed two sets of swordsmanship for herself. One is a swordsmanship that involves pulling out a pistol, which looks particularly gorgeous. The other is a swordsmanship with beautiful moves.

Carlisle's children also studied for two days, but they all found it meaningless.

The big Emmett Cullen thinks that fencing is not as practical as boxing. It is inconvenient to carry and has too many rules. In modern society, besides showing off, what is its use?

What do you think? I just want to show off! Bella has a clear purpose and has learned a lot of fancy tricks. She has already imagined the scene where she will show off her talents in the Stanford Fencing Club and receive a lot of crazy praise from her fans.
