Tang Tian stood lazily on the martial arts arena as usual.
Looking at these tender faces in front of him, a soft hum escaped from his nose.
It was the first time the teenagers had come to the martial arts arena, and Ander Academy was a top ten ranked school in Star Wind City. Although the facilities of the martial arts arena were not as good as the top ranked Tianchen Academy, the facilities were considered excellent.
Not to mention that this was the freshmen's first practice class, and they were curious about everything.
“I've already explained the things in the textbooks in detail with you guys before. Then starting today, aside from the usual theory classes, the most time you guys will spend will be in this martial arts arena. If you guys want to get into a better academy, learning and practicing hard is the only way for you. You must remember that there are no shortcuts in this world, and cultivation is always boring, so don't leave anything to chance.”
Teacher Cen's serious voice echoed in the martial arts arena.
The teenagers' eyes were filled with longing and eagerness.
“Our learning task today is basic sword skills. Martial skills, for the theory to be studied thoroughly without practicing, it's of no use. But before you rehearse on your own, your Senior Tang Tian, will give you a demonstration. Senior Tang Tian is the most outstanding student in the entire Ander Academy in terms of basic martial arts, even I am not as good as him in this regard. You guys have to take a good look at what a perfect basic sword skill, looks like.”
The gazes of the teenagers on the field turned to Tang Tian in unison. That lazy figure became taller in the eyes of many.
Tang Tian was indifferent.
“Tang Tian, start.” Teacher Cen said.
Tang Tian let out an oh-so-splendid cry and walked over to the corner sword cylinder and followed it, pulling a wooden sword out of it. As soon as the wooden sword was in his hand, Tang Tian's eyes immediately became seriously sharp, and his previous laziness instantly disappeared.
The left leg retreated half a step back, the waist slightly sunk, the right elbow inward, the tip of the sword upward, the eyes leveled with the tip of the sword.
With a small deflection of the waist and abdomen, the right elbow was like a loose spring, and there was not a single flutter of the wrist.
Hiss!
The sharp cracking sound was clearly audible.
Basic Sword Art of Thrust!
Many of the teenagers subconsciously exclaimed mildly. Many of them were not even half interested in basic sword arts. As the name implied, the Basic Sword Art was the foundation of sword arts, and it was also the lowest level sword art. It was normal for teenagers to have a lack of interest in basic sword arts, however, when they saw the basic sword art in Tang Tian's hands with their own eyes, even though it was only a simple movement, it was filled with unspeakable explosive power and beauty.
It instantly conquered these clueless teenagers.
Tang Tian's expression was incomparably focused, his feet took a sliding step forward, his shoulders didn't move at all, but his arm was like a whip, suddenly shaking, and his wooden sword violently slashed downwards.
Whoosh!
A low cracking sound made one's scalp tighten.
The amplitude of the cleave in the basic sword technique was much smaller than the basic sword technique, however, the instantaneous explosive power was even better. Tang Tian had interpreted the key point of “cleave” to its fullest extent, and the teenagers could clearly see the wooden sword's body bending and deforming in the air.
Hearing the subconscious exclamations of the teenagers, Mr. Cen had long since gotten used to it. He looked at Tang Tian in the field, and although he didn't know how many times he had watched Tang Tian practice, he still couldn't help but feel amazed every time he witnessed it with his own eyes. He wasn't being modest when he said that his basic swordsmanship wasn't as good as Tang Tian's.
Lift, block, and draw.
Tang Tian's movements were flowing and pleasing to the eye, without a single pause in between, full of explosive power and beauty, and when the last movement was completed, the entire arena fell silent.
Tang Tian's face resumed its previous lazy look, and casually threw his hand, the wooden sword, as if it had eyes, plunged into the sword cylinder in the corner of the martial arts arena.
The freshmen instantly exploded.
“Wow! So powerful! The Original Basic Sword Art, it's so awesome too!”
“Too cool! It's perfect!”
“So handsome! Senior Tang Tian is really handsome! Senior, please go out with me!” The female students in the crowd had stars in their eyes. Tang Tian's figure was tall and powerful, but this set of Basic Sword Art, presented his flexibility perfectly, without any sense of stupidity, giving people an incomparable feeling of coordination and flexibility.
Tang Tian was indifferent.
“Ha, ignorant! Basic martial arts skills practiced even better is of no use, failing the House Exam for five consecutive years, our handsome Senior Tang Tian, when my brother was in Ande, he practiced basic martial arts skills oh. Tsk, my brother's academy is graduating.”
A conspiratorial voice rang out from the crowd of teenagers.
All the marveling immediately disappeared without a trace, and the original adoring gazes quickly became strange.
The news that there was a super repeater in Ander Academy was known to everyone, and it was the most famous joke in Ander Academy over the years. Many people had originally made up their minds to quietly go and admire it, how could they not expect that the legendary super repeater was the formidable looking Senior Tang Tian in front of them.
I knew it was this ......
Tang Tian skimmed his mouth, such things happened every year, he had long gotten used to it. However, his gaze was unkindly fixed on that shifty fellow.
Your brother must not have told you, he must have received a beating from me.
Tang Tian had already decided that later after class, he would properly clean up this guy. Maybe don't have to wait for the end of class ......
Tang Tian narrowed his eyes and said in a bad tone, ''Who allowed you guys to desert in class? Right, I forgot to tell you guys, I'm Mr. Cen's teaching assistant, responsible for supervising your practice sessions. Whoever doesn't practice properly, I don't mind letting him practice a bit. You, that's you, come out and practice?”
Tang Tian pointed at the boy who had just spoken coldly and sarcastically, his fists pinched and clicked.
That boy's face brushed white, he suddenly remembered Tang Tian's infamous reputation, he was instantly silenced and ran to the side to honestly practice.
Seeing this, the other students hurriedly began to clumsily practice.
Just then, Teacher Cen spoke, “If you have any questions, feel free to ask Senior Tang Tian for advice. Practice hard and don't be lazy. Tang Tian, pay attention to supervising their practice.”
“Yes!” Tang Tian said loudly.
Teacher Cen nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Until the end of class, no one jumped out, Tang Tian was greatly disappointed, grunted, and left.
Once class was over, the others immediately surrounded the boy from earlier again.
“Come on, just said half of it.”
“Yeah yeah yeah ......”
That boy immediately gloated, “This Senior Tang Tian, is the legend of our Ander. Ander never graduates early, who repeats a year? But this senior Tang Tian stays, and once he stays, boy, I have to do the math, five years, five years ah! Think about it, what's the concept of staying at Ander for five years? It's absolutely unprecedented!”
“How could he stay for so long?” Someone couldn't help but ask: “If you can't go to a prestigious school, it's still very easy to go to a normal school!”
The gossiping teenager became even more energized, “Know why? Our senior Tang Tian, in five years' time, he didn't even learn a set of second-order martial arts skills, but instead, he learned all the basic martial arts skills. These days, what's the use of basic martial arts skills? If you want to be a cook, you have to have a second-order knife skill. If you want to go to a higher grade hotel, you have to learn palmistry on the side. Go to the nightclub as a bartender, second-order concealed weapons, this is the threshold, did not pass this line, people do not even look at you. You say star grade hotel? That requirement can be high, in addition to the second order of concealed weapons, but also to ice and fire dual genus. You say, basic martial arts skills for what? Even a worse academy, at least it has to be a second-order martial skill.”
The gossiping teenager became more and more complacent, with a professional person's expression, “What basic martial arts skills, everyone practiced it. Early cultivation of second-order martial skills is the right path. Those prestigious schools, most favored students who can cultivate higher order martial arts at a young age. If you can perfect your second rank martial skills at the age of fourteen, you can enter the general academy. At fourteen, if you break through the third rank, you can enter a good academy. At fourteen, if you can cultivate the third rank martial skill to perfection, you can enter a famous academy.”
“I seem to have heard about this as well.” Someone echoed.
“But, I'll be thirteen this year, I want to enter a prestigious school.” Another person said bitterly.
“Don't dream, be realistic, getting into a better academy would be good.”
Seeing the others agreeing with him, the gossipy teenager became even more complacent, “Ha, but the basic martial skill is still somewhat useful, without practicing it, you can't practice the second rank martial skill either.”
Seeing him so complacent, someone in the crowd couldn't look at him and sneered, “Hey, but I heard that our senior is not a good man. If you don't give him face so much today, be careful of him finding you in trouble.”
The gossipy teenager's face steeply changed, remembering just and Tang Tian's unkind gaze, he shivered in his heart.
The others became even more curious, and someone hurriedly asked, “Doesn't he only know basic martial arts? Still so horizontal?”
This trainee sneered, “You all saw it just now, with his size, he has no problem fighting three on his own. He is a recidivist in fighting, and when he doesn't like what he sees, he will fight, and except for Mr. Cen, he won't buy any other teacher's account. Our school a bully, planted in his hands of powerful students, but not a few.”
“Really? So fierce?” Many people looked disbelieving.
“He is physically fit and fierce, bleeding and what not, it's a common occurrence. There are many people stronger than him, but those who are more ruthless than him, haven't seen. Right now, this Senior Tang Tian of ours has a worst record of two losses, and that's against those seniors with rankings.” This cadet had a face of caution, “You guys better not mess with him.”
Everyone's necks shrank, and many people's gazes were filled with sympathy when they looked at the gossiping teenager, who was already pale.
Those teenage girls who originally had stars in their eyes, the stars in their eyes disappeared at this time, some with contempt, some with regret, some with disgust, they crossed their ears and whispered.
“So it's a straw man, almost cheated the old lady, that body can be really strong ah!”
“It's a scoundrel, but scoundrels are more obnoxious, people don't like rude men.”
“Aiya, this world is so cruel, beautiful dreams are shattered so fast.”
“Hee hee, the little ninny is in the throes of spring ......”
The freshman who had been speaking before just couldn't help it, “Save it, don't dream. Even though they are repeaters, they can't look at you guys.”
“By what right! Che, if he didn't have such a good body, I wouldn't even bother glancing at him.” One of the spirited girls said with a look of contempt.
The freshman looked at her with an even more contemptuous look, “It's you that people don't bother to glance at. That body of yours isn't even comparable to a single hair on Miss Shangguan Qianhui's head! They have Miss Qianhui, would they look at you?”
Miss Chihui!
Some of the girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and stare. Shangguan Qianhui is the legend of Star Wind City, the idol in the hearts of all the girls, the dream lover of the boys, beautiful and peerless, gentle and lovely, but also with the first grade, entered the Andean. Into the Ander, also always dominate the first position, because of her existence, Ander's ranking rose. Last year, as soon as she left Ander, Ander's ranking plummeted.
The girl did not speak, she dared to say a bad word about Miss Chihui, here at least more than half of the people will come up and directly do it.
“How could Miss Chie look at such a good-for-nothing man?” A girl was filled with incredulity.
The boy sighed with deep sorrow and anger, “I also want to know! I'll tell you, because Miss Chie is still in her power, no one from our school's masters will bother with him.”
Although Miss Chihui had already left for a year, the legend of Miss Chihui did not dissipate in Star Wind City.
On the office building, Mr. Cen stood by the window and looked down at the martial arts arena below, his weathered eyes couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, but in his heart, he sighed softly.
In this world, not everyone was a lucky man.
He was very fond of Tang Tian, which also made him worry about Tang Tian's future. Tang Tian was already seventeen years old, still counting down amongst a group of thirteen and fourteen year olds.
According to Tang Tian's age, this year was his last year, and if he passed this year, he would have exceeded the age limit for admission to the academy. That meant Tang Tian had to step into society. However, with Tang Tian's strength, he simply couldn't find a job that could support him.
No one would recruit someone who only knew basic martial arts.
Even if it was a second-order martial skill, it would have to be better, there would be some jobs with tough low-income conditions. Although the days were a bit tougher, it was good to be able to live at least.
If only he had a tenth of Shangguan Qianhui's talent ...
