Chapter 5: Turning Danger into Safety
The entire forest was engulfed in a raging fire, and Han Yu struggled to evade the opponent's attacks. Once Prion became serious, the eighteen-year-old Han Yu found it quite challenging.
The girl, approximately seventeen or eighteen years old, was dressed in a brand new school uniform. A delicate and charming doll-like face came into view, exuding a beauty that felt like a refreshing spring breeze. Moreover, the owner of this beauty had a lovely figure as well
At the age of twelve, Han Yu's Silver Star Qi had already reached the second level; however, in the following six years, he made little progress. For this reason, his master often scolded him as a fool and an idiot, claiming that it took him only three minutes to break through from the second level to the third level back in the day... Damn, that's clearly a lie, and he would never believe it.
Surrounded by swirling fireballs, the temperature around me has risen to an unknown degree, and being in this environment feels akin to undergoing a purgatorial baptism. The unique technique derived from the attribute of fighting spirit, while not as astonishing in power as magic of the same type, proves to be more practical in single combat. Moreover, as a knight, there is also the terrifying physical attack.
The third training ground is located in the northern area of the campus, which is relatively remote and indeed difficult for newcomers to find. Its appearance... how should I put it, the architectural style is quite similar to that of the ancient Roman Empire on Earth, grand and imposing, yet... no matter how you look at it, it resembles an arena. Is this really a place for training?
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Han Yu's eyes; the Holy Violet truly lives up to its reputation as the highest institution of the Federation, with experts abounding. Professor Carter's strength is not much different from that of the knight he encountered that day. He began to calculate the odds of winning if he were to engage in a duel with this teacher.
It doesn't seem right! Never mind, I must ask properly the next time we meet... Han Yu quickened her pace to escape
According to incomplete estimates, the economic loss from the damaged public facilities amounts to as much as 10,000 gold coins
"What a coincidence, let's go together!" Xue Ling'er also smiled, clearly a girl with a very cheerful personality
Strange, why would such a master prevent himself from associating with Kleyan? Could it be that he is a significant figure in disguise?
"Could it be... that I have already broken through to the third level of the realm?"
The eyes of the students are filled with admiration; here, the strong are the most respected
Han Yu, what are you mumbling about?
"Oh, how did you know?" Xue Ling'er exclaimed, her eyes filled with astonishment. "Professor Carter did not use it!"
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable, yet Han Yu remains calm. At this moment, one must not panic; losing composure leads only to a dead end. Fighting with fire attribute energy in the flammable forest is highly disadvantageous. Not far, about a hundred meters away, there is a small lake, which can extinguish fire. As long as he can hold on for a while, the campus security team will surely arrive.
In addition to the clash of unique skills, the two began a true battle between knights, with their energies colliding and fists and palms connecting. Each punch and kick contained explosive power, causing devastation to the surrounding buildings
"Is that so?" Xue Ling'er glanced at Han Yu beside her in confusion, as she had clearly heard it just a moment ago
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Professor Carter's eyes. As the highest institution of the Federation, St. Violet naturally has a good pool of students; however, there are not many who possess fighting energy upon entering school. This Jack should be this year's top student. Although his fighting energy is somewhat weak and clearly has not been cultivated for long, with proper training, he is likely to achieve remarkable accomplishments in the future
What, a talent show? Come on, I still have the NBA!
The surface of the lake gradually became calm, and after Han Yu fell, it seemed as if he had vanished completely
On the second day, Saint Violet Academy officially commenced its academic year. Throughout the morning, Han Yu was busy with various tasks such as collecting books and obtaining uniforms. Under the guidance of senior students, she began to familiarize herself with the campus. She then hurried to the Xueyisi Ice Cream Shop. Although the grand opening would not take place for another seven days, the Human Resources Department needed to conduct a brief training session for the employees beforehand
After the Big Bang, the remnants of energy continued to wreak havoc. Prion and Han Yu were panting heavily, having just engaged in a fierce contest, and surprisingly, the two were evenly matched.
The mysterious explosion shocked the entire Saint Violet Academy, giving rise to a myriad of rumors, including terrorist attacks, duels over love, and even theories of a gas explosion
The fist collided with the fireball, producing a series of explosive sounds. Han Yu's figure swayed and once again vanished from the original spot
Although the Silver Star's fighting energy has transformed into a water attribute, at this moment, Han Yu is still unable to master the corresponding special techniques. He is still using his previous signature skills, but compared to just now, their power is not on the same level; this is a matter of realm.
The students ceased their conversations and turned to look, their expressions reflecting the same confusion. Was this esteemed teacher in the wrong place? This was supposed to be a martial arts class... Judging by his appearance, teaching literature would seem more suitable.
The young and fearless, soon a student stood up, nearly two meters tall, with a body like an iron tower... Sweat, this guy shouldn't be applying to Saint Violet Academy; perhaps pursuing basketball would be a more promising path.
Carter still wore a warm smile on his face, effortlessly using only one hand to deflect and guide, while his feet remained firmly planted in place, impervious to the torrential onslaught of attacks that could not budge him an inch
"It’s alright." The young girl shook her head, realizing that the person before her did not mean it intentionally
Who else is interested in giving it another try
"Classmate, your strength is quite impressive, but you still need to work on your technique," Carter said with a smile as he gently pushed, sending the challenging student back several steps with a gust of air
Han Yu also did not show weakness; the elevation of his realm filled him with strength, and his confidence began to swell wildly
"Rumbling!"
Han Yu's gaze was equally filled with confusion, as the teachings of his master echoed in his ears—"When the Silver Star Qi breaks through the third layer, its nature will undergo a significant change. In battle, it can evolve into an attribute that counters that of the opponent's Qi based on its properties."
The new students chatted in small groups, discussing some light topics, and everything in the academy seemed quite interesting. Han Yu looked around and saw nearly a hundred people scattered across the large area, with three classes in session today.
One must never let anyone know that it was oneself who vandalized the public facilities on campus that day
Oh, is it the earth attribute of fighting energy
The flames burning on the surface of the lake had long since extinguished, and the cool, transparent lake water surrounded Han Yu, engaging in a confrontation with the remnants of the fire, the hissing sound incessantly filling the air
Indeed, his gaze turned this way. Xue Ling'er’s appearance and figure are truly exceptional. Not to mention the Martial Arts Class, even within the entire Saint Violet Academy, such beauty is likely rare... Unfortunately, the beauty did not glance at him.
Alright, we will begin the class now. For this first martial arts lesson, I do not intend to conduct training or provide guidance, but rather to take you to watch an exciting selection show
After the two-hour training ended, the cafeteria was about to close. Han Yu hurriedly finished lunch and rested for less than ten minutes. Looking at the schedule, he exclaimed, "Damn, there’s a class in the first period this afternoon... Is there no respite for us?"
Heavens, I could never earn that much money in ten lifetimes. After seeing the wanted notice published in the school newspaper, Han Yu shivered, vowing that he must not be discovered
This student raised a question that everyone is interested in. Well, I will reveal a little in advance: this selection event is actually a recruitment fair for the senior students.
One must have the capital to show off; this student, Jack, let out a furious roar, and a surge of pale yellow energy erupted forth
Such speed, could this silver fighting spirit be of the wind attribute? ... No, that’s not right ... The acceleration produced by wind fighting spirit is definitely different from this. For a moment, Prion was greatly astonished, forgetting to attack.
After the smoke dissipated, Prion slowly emerged, behind him was a pit over three meters deep. The power of the explosion was indeed astonishing; however, the flame aura completely blocked the attack of the flash cannon, leaving him only slightly disheveled.
Han Yu took two steps and suddenly turned back: "Um... classmate, may I ask how to get to Training Ground 3?"
Although Jack's physique cannot compare to that of the earlier student known as the "Iron Tower," the power of each of his punches is by no means inferior, and may even surpass it. He is also aware of the professor's strength, and without holding back, he unleashes a flurry of punches like raindrops.
The college's intelligence department mobilized fully, yet they found nothing. At the same time, no organization or individual claimed responsibility for the incident. Only the principal, in a fit of anger and humiliation, offered a staggering reward for the capture of the perpetrator. As for the reason...
The terrifying fighting spirit surged forth, burning fiercely, as if a furious fire dragon roared towards the sky
Are you injured? If everything is fine, I will take my leave now
I am too. Han Yu was overjoyed, not expecting to encounter a classmate in such a manner.
Xue Ling'er fell silent, not believing it at all; this mysterious Han Yu seemed to be concealing many secrets
Watching his disappearing figure, the footsteps in the distance gradually approached. Han Yu suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly fled... The public facilities on campus had been utterly destroyed, and if caught, selling himself would not be enough to cover the damages.
The enormous explosion also startled many people, who turned to look in the direction from which the sound came. What is happening? Is the combat and magic department conducting practical training? But the school hasn't even started yet!
The professor smiled kindly, and unexpectedly, a fearless one truly approached. A boy of about 1.8 meters in standard height, with a rather sunny and handsome appearance. In fact, by now, everyone was already well aware of the professor's strength; approaching him was likely just to show off.
Alright. The girl nodded, equally eager to attend class
In a hurry, Han Yu ran a little faster. At a bend in the road, he collided with another person coming from the opposite direction. Hearing a cry of pain beside him, he looked up and saw that the person he had collided with was a young girl
Han Yu is the only exception; he raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, may I ask what you mean by selection? https://www.hetushu.com.com"
"Peng," Jack was knocked back by the professor's palm. Of course, Cartes had a good grasp of the situation; rather than viewing it as a challenge, it would be more accurate to see it as guidance.
As the captain of Princess Meixilu's personal guard, Prion is undoubtedly a top-tier expert. He originally thought that dealing with a newly enrolled student would be effortless, but unexpectedly... The young man before him is truly a pity to kill.
Xue Ling'er’s beauty is like a stone cast upon a calm lake, instantly stirring the boys into restlessness
I am Xue Ling'er from Martial Arts Class Nine, and you?
While familiarizing myself with the campus in the morning, my thoughts wandered elsewhere
With a loud bang, the ground seemed to tremble slightly. After the terrifying explosion, the entire forest was in disarray, as if it had undergone the cleansing of a storm
The students were all quite surprised, but just moments ago, the professor had already established a lofty image in their minds. Although they were filled with doubts, the atmosphere remained quiet, and not a single person spoke.
Prion extended both arms, stretching his body as much as possible, and his fighting spirit began to spread outward, forming a sphere with a diameter of over 3 meters, enveloping him within it
Is the Third Training Ground also for combat and magic systems?
The young man before me is shrouded in mystery, yet he truly should not approach the princess. Prion gradually regained consciousness, and the fiercely burning flame energy began to counterattack.
Han Yu had already rushed forward, only ten meters away from his opponent. With both hands clasped in front of his chest, a brilliant silver light surged forth, all converging into his palms, expanding into a massive sphere of light that shot towards his opponent
Han Yu calmly analyzed the situation and made the correct choice; however, implementing it was not so easy. Prion is not only a skilled individual but also possesses extensive practical experience. If he cannot see through this, then he has no place in this field.
What? The martial arts instructor, could it be that all the martial arts skills in the first year are taught theoretically? Many students glanced at the thick books tucked under the professor's arm, and someone immediately raised a question.
Peng
The unluckiest person was a certain gentleman who had just caught the attention of a beautiful lady. While he was boasting about himself, a loud noise suddenly erupted. Being naturally timid, he ended up spraying his entire drink all over the lady's face. The outcome was, as one can imagine, quite disastrous
Although she is far inferior to Atina, it must be acknowledged that she is a captivating beauty
Classmate Jack proudly glanced around, and several dinosaur girls had already screamed in admiration. However, Xue Ling'er showed no reaction at all, causing his entire demeanor to deflate, and his confidence took a heavy blow
It turns out that this teacher's temper is of the wind attribute
One fireball after another struck down, and surprisingly, the small lake began to burn. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Prion's mouth, thinking that hiding at the bottom of the water could help him evade his own attack; how naive.
At that moment, a casually dressed middle-aged man walked in. He appeared rather thin and wore a pair of glasses on his nose, yet he was still quite handsome.
However, most students still harbor doubts, and the reason is simple: as knights, one does not necessarily need to possess a particularly strong physique, yet Professor Cartes appears to be rather frail.
The silver fighting spirit possesses a peculiar accelerating effect. If one were to engage in combat with peers, such a technique might succeed; however, to flaunt it before oneself would only lead to—m.hetushu.com—seeking death
Flame Killing Fire Dragon Wave
Ah, no... there isn't!
Prion accurately predicted the direction in which Han Yu would appear and struck forward with a punch. Although there was a distance of over ten meters in between, the power was still immense. Han Yu was taken aback; there was no time to evade. Compared to the opponent's seasoned experience, he was still too inexperienced.
With a wave of his hand, Prion unleashed two chains of fire that shot out like lightning. In fact, this was an external manifestation of his fighting spirit; the flames were merely a facade, while the true power lay in the physical attack. A glint of cold light flashed in Han Yu's eyes as his figure flickered and vanished from the spot once more
Han Yushu let out a sigh, secretly thinking how close she had come to danger. She had been so absorbed in her thoughts that she almost revealed a secret
The arrival of Han Yu and Xue Ling'er clearly attracted the attention of many people; after all, who could resist the charm of a handsome man and a beautiful woman
With a loud bang, a huge splash erupted, and a silver-white water dragon shot up into the sky. The surrounding flames diminished, and a hint of chill seemed to return to the air. After the mist of water cleared, Han Yu floated in mid-air, yet what was surprising was that the originally shimmering fighting spirit had transformed into a blue hue
One cannot afford to wait in this manner; one must find a way to seize the initiative in order to have a chance of survival. A cold glint flashed in Han Yu's eyes as his figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and a flurry of punches transformed into a storm-like assault, enveloping the enemy.
It seems that without exerting one's utmost effort, it is impossible to win him over
Professor, I am Jack from the Robit family, pleased to make your acquaintance
The wise men of the Earth once said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will inevitably be toppled by the wind." In the face of absolute power, one must never easily reveal oneself. Observing the teacher's contemplative gaze, Han Yu felt deep regret.
"Teaching theory? No, no, I am the mentor responsible for your practical training." Carter extended a finger and shook it, his expression distinctly embodying the essence of a scholar
In the distance, faint footsteps could be heard, a sound that had surely alerted the academy's security team. The proud knight glanced at Han Yu and said: "Young man, you possess great potential; you are the most qualified genius I have ever seen. Given time, you will undoubtedly achieve extraordinary things. However, heed my advice: keep your distance from that friend of yours"
His speed was quite impressive as he swiftly approached and threw a punch. Some had already closed their eyes, thinking this clumsy giant was acting recklessly and had no sense of proportion. However, in the next moment, something unexpected and unforgettable happened to everyone.
The young man before him was indeed bold and meticulous, and admiration once again appeared on Prion's face. He took a step back, just one step, and under the catalysis of the fiery fighting spirit, all the swirling leaves falling in mid-air ignited, advancing towards Han Yu.
Prion still held the upper hand, as he was indeed a rare expert among many. However, achieving victory was not easy; Han Yu was too difficult to deal with. His strength seemed to have increased several times in an instant, especially with that mysterious fighting spirit, which was not merely of the water attribute, but also contained the properties of the earlier silver fighting spirit.
Before his words had finished, Prion's figure swayed and had already vanished into the woods
Alas, it seems that everyone has lost faith. Well, students with questions may come forward to challenge me
Hmph, thinking you can escape solely by speed is too naive
Hello everyone, quiet, it has become quiet
Flash Cannon
The ground shook violently, as if a great storm had occurred. The water of the small artificial lake surged skyward, with waves reaching over 10 meters high. In the distance, the teaching building of the Church and the Library showed signs of cracking, with debris continuously falling... This was still due to magical reinforcement; otherwise, the entire structure would have collapsed.
Han Yu sighed and hurriedly made his way to the training ground, where he was enrolled in the Combat and Magic Department, and the first class was dedicated to teaching martial skills
The students' eyes are filled with admiration; with such a teacher, their future will be bright
Sigh, I am exhausted
Generally speaking, martial arts classes are never short of handsome men, yet beautiful women are quite rare. The physical constitution of girls is more suited for learning magic, and even if there are a few female students practicing martial arts, they are typically more like dinosaurs.
Rest assured, I have not taken a wrong turn. As if aware of what the students were thinking, the middle-aged man smiled slightly and said in a clear voice: "I am your martial arts instructor for the first year, and you may call me Professor Cartes"
Hey, not bad, it has been a long time since a young person has been able to loosen my muscles like this
Oh dear
The fist was blocked, and with just one finger, Professor Carter effortlessly held off the opponent's attack. The students couldn't help but gasp in astonishment; what kind of strength does this require... This is the best illustration of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover".
Uh... I guess. Han Yu was taken aback, cursing himself inwardly, wondering when he would be able to change this habit of talking to himself.
Han Yu found it somewhat hard to believe. The Silver Star technique is easy to practice but difficult to master. For the first level, individuals with ordinary talent can learn it; for the second level, it is quite normal for those with exceptional intelligence to take thirty to forty years to achieve any results; as for the third level, only those legendary geniuses can succeed.
Han Yu received a solid punch to his back, but he used that force to accelerate his descent toward the small lake. Prion was somewhat surprised; the effect of the attack was far from what he had anticipated. At a critical moment, the silver aura seemed to sense the impending danger and surged toward Han Yu's back, accompanied by that peculiar buffering effect. This type of aura is truly remarkable
Carter's gaze shot over, slightly taken aback. This student was quite peculiar; he could not discern any hint of power from him. However, passing the academy's assessment could not possibly indicate that he was useless, which only suggested that he possessed an exceptionally high level of concealment skills
Despite feeling dejected, the upcoming battle must still proceed. Having just learned to harness fighting energy, he is not yet able to master the unique techniques of the earth attribute. However, just as the green wind fighting energy can enhance speed, the yellow earth fighting energy can also increase the user's strength. This is an additional passive skill
The originally clear sky suddenly became somewhat overcast, and the leaves slowly drifted down, swirling in the air. In front of Han Yu, everything was a fiery red, as if Prion were an ancient fire god, and a terrifying pressure bore down upon him.
Dizzy, I am merely a part-time worker, so why take it so seriously? Although Han Yu is reluctant, when under the roof of others, one must bow their head. For the sake of his living expenses, he certainly does not want to be dismissed by his employer
How... How is this possible? Prion was left speechless. On Water Cloud Star, the color of fighting energy holds significant meaning; different hues signify different attributes, and blue represents water... However... How could this be? Temporarily changing the attribute of fighting energy, such a thing has not been heard of in a thousand years on Water Cloud Star.
Han Yu's expression changed, and he clasped his hands in front of his chest: "Flash Cannon!"
"I am sorry, I am sorry." Han Yu quickly helped her up
Indeed, could it be..." Han Yu was taken aback. Could it be that the adorable girl before him also practiced martial arts? It didn't seem likely!
