Chapter 1: The Super Repeat Student

At this moment, Teacher Cen spoke: "If you have any questions, feel free to consult Senior Tang Tian. Practice diligently and do not be lazy. Tang Tian, make sure to supervise their practice."

Some girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and widen their eyes. Shangguan Qianhui is a legendary figure in Xingfeng City, the idol in the hearts of all girls, the dream lover of boys, unparalleled in beauty, gentle and amiable. She also entered Ander with the highest score. Upon entering Ander, she consistently held the top position; her presence elevated Ander’s ranking. Last year, as soon as she left Ander, the ranking of Ander plummeted.

Is it true? Is it really that impressive? Many people looked on in disbelief

The eyes of the young men on the field all turned towards Tang Tian. That languid figure grew taller in the eyes of many.

"But I am already thirteen years old this year, and I want to get into a prestigious school," another person lamented.

"I seem to have heard about this as well," someone echoed.

The low, piercing sound made one feel a tightening sensation on the scalp

Cut it out, ignorance! No matter how well you practice basic martial skills, what good is it if you haven't passed the provincial examination for five consecutive years? Our handsome senior Tang Tian, when my brother was at Ande, had already practiced basic martial skills. Tsk, my brother is about to graduate from the academy.

The young men arrived at the training ground for the first time. Ander Academy is one of the top ten schools in Starwind City. Although the facilities at the training ground are not as good as those at the number one ranked Tianchen Academy, they are still considered to be of high quality

Even if it is only a second-tier martial skill, it is still better than nothing, as it may lead to some low-income and challenging jobs. Although life may be a bit difficult, at least one can still survive

Tang Tian pointed at the boy who had just mocked him coldly, his fists cracking with tension

The boy's face turned pale in an instant as he suddenly recalled the notorious reputation of Tang Tian, and he immediately fell silent, running to the side to practice earnestly.

That boy immediately became smug: "This Senior Tang Tian is a legendary figure at Ande. At Ande, students only graduate early; who ever stays back? But our Senior Tang Tian did stay, and for a long time—let me calculate—five years, five years! Just think about it, staying at Ande for five years, what does that even mean? Absolutely unprecedented!"

"How could he stay for so long?" someone couldn't help but ask, "It's quite easy to get into an ordinary institution if you can't get into a prestigious university!"

The young girls who once had stars in their eyes now find those stars vanished. Some look on with disdain, others with regret, and still others with disgust, as they whisper and gossip among themselves

Moreover, this is the first practice class for the newcomers, and they are filled with curiosity about everything

The new student looked at her with even more disdain: "You probably don't even deserve a glance from me. With that body of yours, you can't even compare to a single strand of Miss Shangguan Qianhui's hair! Does someone like Miss Qianhui even have the time to notice you?"

In basic swordsmanship, the amplitude of the "chop" is significantly smaller than that of basic knife techniques; however, the instantaneous explosive power is even greater. Tang Tian elucidates the key points of the "chop" in a vivid manner, allowing the young men to clearly observe the bending and deformation of the wooden sword's blade in the air

Many young people instinctively gasped slightly. It is quite normal that many of them have little interest in basic swordsmanship. As the name suggests, basic swordsmanship is the foundation of swordsmanship and represents the lowest level of skill. While it is understandable that the youths lack interest in basic swordsmanship, when they witnessed the basic swordsmanship in Tang Tian's hands, although it consisted of merely simple movements, it was filled with an indescribable explosiveness and beauty

I have already explained the content from the textbook to you in detail. Therefore, starting today, aside from the usual theoretical classes, you will spend the majority of your time in this training ground. If you wish to gain admission to a better academy, diligent study and practice are your only paths. Remember, there are no shortcuts in this world; cultivation is always tedious and monotonous, so do not harbor any illusions.

Tease, block, attract

A peculiar voice emerged from the crowd of young people

According to Tang Tian's age, this year is his final year; if he surpasses this year, he will exceed the age limit for university admission. This means that Tang Tian must enter society. However, with Tang Tian's abilities, it is virtually impossible for him to find a job that can support himself

Alas, this world is truly cruel, and dreams shatter so quickly

The eyes of the young are filled with anticipation and eagerness to try.

Teacher Cen's serious voice echoed in the training ground

He has a deep affection for Tang Tian, which also fills him with concern for Tang Tian's future. Tang Tian is already 17 years old, yet he still ranks at the bottom among a group of 13- and 14-year-olds

"What gives! Hmph, if it weren't for his good physique, I wouldn't even bother to glance at him," one of the bold girls said with a look of disdain.

Until the end of the class, no one stepped forward. Tang Tian was greatly disappointed, snorted, and left in a huff

Tang Tian's face returned to its previous languid expression, and with a casual toss, the wooden sword seemed to have a mind of its own as it flew into the sword rack in the corner of the training ground

Ideal, wealth, treasures, and power are all there

The student sneered: "As you all just saw, with his physique, he could easily take on three at once. He is a habitual fighter; if he dislikes someone, he will resort to violence. Except for Teacher Cen, he does not take any other teachers' accounts seriously. He is a bully in our school, and there are quite a few formidable students who have fallen victim to him."

So cool! So perfect!

Everyone shrank their necks, and many gazed at the gossiping youth with eyes full of sympathy; the gossiping youth's face had already turned pale.

The new student who had been talking before could no longer hold back: "Save it, stop dreaming. Even though they are a repeat student, they still look down on you all."

Tang Tian's movements flowed like water, pleasing to the eye, with not a single pause in between, filled with explosive power and beauty. When the final movement was completed, the entire venue fell into silence

Miss Qianhui

Seeing this, the other students quickly began to practice clumsily.

The gossiping youth has become more spirited: "Do you know why? Our senior Tang Tian has spent five years without mastering even a single set of second-tier martial skills, yet he has learned all the basic martial techniques. What use are basic martial skills these days? If you want to be a chef, you need at least second-tier knife skills. To work in a high-end hotel, you also need to be proficient in the art of combining techniques. If you want to be a bartender in a nightclub, second-tier hidden weapons are a prerequisite; if you haven't crossed that line, no one will even glance at you. You say a star-rated hotel? The requirements are even higher; in addition to second-tier hidden weapons, you also need to master both ice and fire attributes. So, what is the point of basic martial skills? Even the most mediocre academies require at least second-tier martial skills."

Tang Tian curled his lips in disdain; such incidents occurred every year, and he had long since grown accustomed to them. However, he fixed a hostile gaze on that peculiar individual.

Tang Tian remained indifferent

Hehe, the young girl is experiencing the stirrings of spring in her heart

Seeing him so pleased with himself, someone in the crowd, unable to bear it, sneered: "Hey, but I heard that our senior here is not a good-natured person. Be careful not to offend him today, or he might cause you trouble."

"He is a rogue, but rogues are even more detestable; people do not like rude men"

Teacher Cen nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave

Tang Tian let out a sound of acknowledgment and walked to the corner where the sword tube was located. He drew out a wooden sword from within. As soon as the wooden sword was in his hand, Tang Tian's expression immediately became serious and sharp, the previous laziness vanishing in an instant

Tang Tian remained indifferent

Stop dreaming and be realistic; getting into a better university would be quite good

Looking at the innocent faces before him, he let out a soft snort from his nose

On the long road to the heavens, the stars are like an ocean, countless in number, vast and boundless, a place where the dreams of the strong are pursued and heroes emerge.

The young gossip enthusiast was increasingly pleased, wearing an expression of a professional: "As for basic martial skills, it is sufficient for everyone to practice them until proficient. The real path is to cultivate second-tier martial skills as early as possible. Those prestigious schools particularly favor students who can cultivate higher-tier martial skills at a young age. If you can fully cultivate second-tier martial skills by the age of 14, you can enter an ordinary institution. If you break through to third-tier by 14, you can enter a decent academy. If you can fully cultivate third-tier martial skills by 14, you can gain admission to a prestigious school." If you can fully cultivate second-tier martial skills by the age of 14, you can enter an ordinary institution. If you break through to third-tier by 14, you can enter a decent academy. If you can fully cultivate third-tier martial skills by 14, you can gain admission to a prestigious school.

Your brother definitely didn't tell you; he must have taken a beating from me

In the office building, Teacher Cen stood by the window, gazing down at the training ground below. His weathered eyes revealed no signs of joy or anger, yet his heart sighed softly.

That boy sighed deeply with a mix of indignation and sorrow, saying, "I also want to know! Let me tell you, because Miss Qianhui's influence still lingers, no one in our school would dare to provoke him"

As soon as class was over, the others immediately surrounded the boy from earlier.

Others became even more curious, and someone quickly asked: "Doesn't he only know basic martial arts? How can he be so arrogant?"

Yes, indeed...

Ander Academy has news of a super repeat student, which is well-known to all. This has become the most famous joke at Ander Academy in recent years. Many people had originally planned to quietly go and catch a glimpse, but they never expected that the legendary super repeat student would actually be the seemingly formidable Senior Tang Tian.

Wow! How impressive! It turns out that basic swordsmanship is also this remarkable

All exclamations vanished without a trace, and the originally admiring gazes quickly turned strange

The young man from the Eight Trigrams suddenly changed his expression, recalling the unfriendly gaze he had just exchanged with Tang Tian, causing a shiver to run through his heart

This is a placeholder text and does not contain any translatable content.

Tang narrowed his eyes and said in a harsh tone: "Who allowed you to daydream during class? By the way, I forgot to tell you, I am Teacher Cen's teaching assistant, responsible for supervising your practice sessions. If anyone does not train properly, I have no qualms about letting them experience some real combat. You, yes, you, come out and practice a bit"

Our learning task today is basic swordsmanship. Martial skills, no matter how thoroughly researched in theory, are of no use if not practiced. However, before you begin your own practice, your senior, Tang Tian, will demonstrate it for you. Senior Tang Tian is the most outstanding student in basic martial skills at the Ande Academy; in this regard, I am even inferior to him. You should observe carefully what perfect basic swordsmanship looks like.

Tang Tianhe stood lazily on the training ground as usual

Seeing others agree with his viewpoint, the gossiping youth felt even more pleased: "Ha, however, basic martial skills are still somewhat useful. If you don't practice them thoroughly, you won't be able to train in second-tier martial skills"

If he had one-tenth of Shangguan Qianhui's talent, it would be great

The newcomers suddenly burst forth from their nest

Step back half a step with the left leg, slightly lower the waist, draw the right elbow inward, raise the tip of the sword, and align your gaze with the tip of the sword in the picture.

Preface

"Tang Tian, let us begin," said Teacher Cen

Tang Tian's expression was intensely focused, taking a swift step forward, his shoulders remained perfectly still, yet his arms snapped like whips, suddenly jerking, the wooden sword struck down fiercely.

No one will recruit someone who only possesses basic martial skills

This individual possesses excellent physical fitness and is quite fierce; injuries and bloodshed are commonplace for him. There are many who are stronger than him, but none who are as ruthless. Currently, our senior Tang Tian's worst record is a mutual defeat, and that was against those well-known seniors. This student warned with a serious expression: "You'd better not provoke him"

Hiss

"It is!" Tang Tian exclaimed loudly

Although Miss Qianhui has been gone for a year, the legend of Miss Qianhui has not faded in Starwind City

The sharp sound of something piercing through the air is clearly audible

So handsome! Senior Tang Tian is truly stunning! Senior, senior, I wish to date you! The female students in the crowd had stars in their eyes. Tang Tian's figure is tall and strong, but this basic swordsmanship perfectly showcases his flexibility, without a hint of clumsiness, giving an impression of unparalleled coordination and agility

If the girl stops talking, and she dares to say a single bad word about Miss Qianhui, at least more than half of the people here would come up and take action directly

Instantly captivated these naive youths

A slight deviation of the waist and abdomen, the right elbow resembling a released spring, with the wrist showing not the slightest tremor

It turns out to be a fool, almost deceived me, but that body is truly robust

"How could Miss Qianhui possibly be interested in such a worthless man?" exclaimed a girl, her face filled with disbelief.

I knew it would be like this

Wū

Basic Swordsmanship: Thrust

Hearing the boys' instinctive exclamations of amazement, Teacher Cen had long since grown accustomed to it. He looked at Tang Tian in the arena; although he did not know how many times he had seen Tang Tian practice, each time he witnessed it in person, he still couldn't help but feel astonished. When he said that his basic swordsmanship was not as good as Tang Tian's, it was not mere modesty.

Quickly tell me, we were just halfway through the discussion.

Tang Tian has already decided to deal with this guy properly after class... perhaps there is no need to wait until after class...

In this world, not everyone is fortunate
