Chapter 5, Renowned.

With each swing of the sword, I utilized my agility to maneuver and reposition, launching another attack. The training sword in my hand seemed to become lighter. It has been proven that even without spiritual power, I can at least regain my original speed through training. As for strength, that will come gradually.

To say that I am not hungry is a lie; in fact, the moment I finished my meal, I already felt a bit hungry...! ... God knows what changes have occurred in my body, as I have unexpectedly turned into a glutton!

Su Yan squinted her beautiful eyes and smiled, saying: "Rest assured, I originally planned not to use even a bit of spiritual power. We will duel fairly, only competing in techniques, not in spiritual power. How about that? I have heard that you are the most exceptional swordsman in Silver Leaf City, and I would like to witness it."

... ...

To give up due to a minor setback is certainly not my style

Su Yan, defeat him

I am very sorry about that

Song Qian was taken aback: "Xuan Ge, are you saying that the candidate who defeated Su Yan during the day is you?"

Do not give up

The teacher exclaimed urgently in a loud voice

Saying this, Song Qian continued, "Xuan Ge, if you are still hungry, I will go out and buy something for you to eat. After all... even though my living expenses are not much, as long as I, Song Qian, have something to eat, you will have something to eat too"

I know

Well, that is ... ...

"Xiao Qian, didn't you say you had no talent? How did you manage to get into the Wànlíng Academy?" I couldn't help but ask as we walked down the corridor of the academy

What are we brothers talking about this for, let's hurry and buy some food

I nodded: "After this challenge, regardless of the outcome, you can no longer continue to trouble me."

Su Yan, keep it up

Song Qian smiled and said: "You see, there is still a glimmer of inspiration above my head. Although I cannot articulate what talent I possess, I will consider it as having one. My father has donated 500,000 to the academy, so I managed to slip in this way. Moreover, I feel that after my awakening, I have become very clear-headed, as if I have become much smarter, so I have self-named my talent as 'Wit'"

Brother Xuan, let's go, we will have a meal together

... ...

However, in a fight, merely having momentum is far from sufficient

I remained silent for nearly half a minute, and it seemed that no one was supporting me anymore, so I said: "Su Yan, according to Article 9 of the regulations of the Wanling Academy, advanced students are not allowed to actively challenge lower-level students. What is your cultivation level? At least it must be at the Tianchong realm, right? As for me... my cultivation level is zero, so you are not qualified to challenge me."

Two individuals walked along the corridor, seemingly like seasoned veterans who have encountered countless women, gesturing as if they were discussing the world. In reality, both of them were well aware of the truth.

The Fiery Flame was seized by me and held in my hand, but without the presence of its master, the spiritual artifact could not endure for long, gradually dissipating into scorching flames, causing me to repeatedly shake it off.

Everyone disperse

School newspaper

The two of us arrived at the cafeteria and sat down in an inconspicuous corner. Although I always felt that someone was pointing at me, I quickly finished my portion of dinner. When I finished eating, Song Qian had only moved a little, staring at me in astonishment: "When did you develop such a good appetite?"

In the evening, while sharpening my sword, I had just woken up, still bleary-eyed, when I saw Song Qian pressing a newspaper against my face. After he took it away, I looked and indeed, there was a striking headline: "Mojian Academy's candidate Bu Yixuan defeats the first place freshman Su Yan!"

Pong ... ...

After returning from the Sword Polishing Office, I continued with my own work, meticulously polishing each of the damaged training swords that had been exchanged.

Song Qian said cheerfully, "Xuan Ge, you are famous now!"

Having spoken, I felt immensely relieved, fortunate for my wit. Just now, while brandishing my sword and glancing around, I also took the opportunity to read the regulations of the Academy of All Spirits inscribed on the wall

No wonder I couldn't find this kid's name on the freshman ranking list

Just a few seconds ago, the boys who were cheering for Su Yan all fell silent, staring in astonishment. No one could have imagined that the illustrious first place freshman would actually be defeated by a substitute student

Is this acceptable as well

Yes, it is him; I recognize him

Thus, Song Qian hosted a dinner, and I thoroughly consumed a meal equivalent to four portions, and this was only about seventy to eighty percent full

It seems that the young girl is quite confident in her swordsmanship, which makes things easier. I want her to understand what it means that there are heavens beyond the heavens and people beyond people. So what if she is the daughter of the commander? So what if she is beautiful? When it comes to a beating, a beating is still necessary

As night fell, there were no evening classes at Wanling Academy, so I wandered around the campus with Song Qian, familiarizing myself with everything around us

This world is too dark

At that moment, not far away, two students were pointing at us, and one of them whispered, "Isn't that the candidate who defeated Su Yan during the day?"

Of course, money can make the devil push the mill

Su Yan did not use her spiritual power, so her strength was naturally not as great as mine. With a single strike, she was sent staggering backward, but the hilt of Fei Yan's sword was firmly gripped by me, leaving her unable to retreat. Instantly, a fierce killing intent surged on her small face, and with a horizontal swing of her left fist, she struck forward.

Around the corner of the teaching building, there was a huge plaque covered with name tags, each representing the names of the new students ranked by their scores. Su Yan's name was prominently in the first position, while my name... The reserve students from the Mo Jian program were not eligible to be on the ranking list, and after searching for a long time, I still could not find Song Qian's name.

Song Qian pondered for a moment, then patted my shoulder and said with a smile, "It's nothing, we brothers will bear it together!"

The teacher remained silent, seemingly unwilling to intervene in the matter, or perhaps afraid to do so

If this knee strike lands, victory is assured

A mouthful of foul breath was expelled from my body. If Su Yan were to use her spiritual power, I fear that even with a hundred lives, it would not be enough to pay the price. This battle is truly perilous; if Su Yan were to cheat even a little, I would be doomed. Yet, she did not.

I will not back down either, fist against fist

A Yao, do not concern yourself with this matter. If it is not handled this way, I will never be able to move on in my heart

... ...

Buzz

A group of boys shamelessly cheers for their goddess

Almost all the students stared wide-eyed, watching with the gaze of spectators. Only one girl, exceptionally beautiful and no less attractive than Su Yan, with long gray-brown hair, stepped forward and advised, "Xiao Yan, just let it go... the matter has already passed."

Alright, let's get started

He seems to be unaware of my appetite | the surge in matters

I am afraid that only she and I understand what this sentence means

I suddenly gripped the iron sword in reverse, and at the moment when Fei Yan swept past, I struck a bridge pose. The iron sword was raised upward, and with a "clang," it collided with Fei Yan, causing sparks to fly in all directions. A notch had already been burned into the blade by Fei Yan, and it was nearly severed in two. If Su Yan had infused her spiritual power into the spiritual weapon, I would have already been defeated

Just as we brushed past each other, I suddenly pivoted on my toes, raised my hand to turn around, and grabbed Su Yan's shoulder, while my knee lifted and aimed directly at her abdomen as she turned.

Finally, Song Qian arrived after class ended at 5 o'clock

I promise you

Su Yan withdrew her spiritual power from the Fei Yan sword, allowing the blade to droop as it approached me in a straight line

Well

At around 3 PM, with a little time left, I held a training sword and practiced in the open space in front of the sword sharpening workshop. However, after losing my spiritual power, both my speed and strength were significantly diminished, which inevitably caused some frustration.

A group of students stared in astonishment, silent as the grave, with only the sound of me pushing my little cart as I departed.

In the twilight, there are still individuals practicing on the training ground. For spiritual cultivators, cultivating the spirit is indeed very important, but strengthening the body is equally crucial. There is no expert who has not grown through relentless training.

My gaze continued to wander back and forth on Feiyan, and I said: "Alright, I accept your challenge!"

However, it was not that easy. Su Yan had clearly been guided by renowned masters since childhood. The hilt of the sword suddenly sank and struck my knee, causing an immediate sharp pain. In that fleeting moment, disregarding everything, I horizontally thrust the iron sword forward, directly locking the hilt against Fei Yan's hilt. Taking advantage of the physical differences between men and women, my entire body crashed into Su Yan.

I did not conceal it either: "Well, Su Yan challenged me; she is the Valkyrie who conducted my awakening ceremony. You should know her as well, right?"

Su Yan suddenly accelerated, charging forward with her sword held high, her momentum far surpassing mine

Well, I recognized her a few days ago. I heard that she was just playing around that day, so she asked her aunt Su Xiyu to swap clothes with her, which led to the farce at the cathedral. Although I always feel that there is something between you and her, however, Xuan Ge, how did you defeat Su Yan? Her exam scores for entering the Wanling Academy were perfect in theory and also perfect in the practical test. It is said that the examiner who faced her in the trial was injured by Fei Yan's sword wind. Everyone says Su Yan is strong like a beautiful freak, but Xuan Ge, you are even freakier than a freak!

Su Yan's tone was very gentle, yet extremely resolute. The Feiyan in her hand had already begun to emit scorching flames, and this Feiyan was an exceptionally long sword, measuring approximately 1.3 meters. Even in the hands of a petite girl like Su Yan, it still appeared overwhelmingly powerful

... ...

I smiled faintly: "In fact, Su Yan is quite a good person, of noble status yet quite understanding... it's just that her temper is a little bit irritable"

Su Yan stood there in a daze, her enchanting eyes gazing at me, seemingly unable to comprehend my status as a substitute student. After several seconds had passed, she did not continue to make a fuss, but instead bowed to me and said, "I concede... let's consider the previous matters settled."

I am at a loss for words: "What is there to be happy about? This is called flattery that leads to one's downfall. Just wait and see, my troubles are only going to increase from here on out."

Bang

The winds of the fist surged; although my Thunder Fist lacked spiritual power, it remained exceptionally vigorous. In contrast, Su Yan let out a whimper of pain, hurriedly retracting her fist, losing complete control, and had no choice but to abandon her hold on Fei Yan

Moreover, there is a blurry photograph above, and it is unclear when it was taken. The campus newspaper system of Wanling Academy is truly impressive, even utilizing rare and advanced devices such as cameras

It is natural; how many beautiful girls have a good temper? They are all spoiled by that group of bastards

... ...

Brush!

There is only one reason: the hilt of Feiyan's sword is too long, and Su Yan has not learned to make good use of this characteristic; instead, it has turned Feiyan's sword hilt into her own fatal weakness

I : `` ... ... ''

Two soft masses ... ! ... collided against my chest, the impact she had on me was not painful at all ... ! But she was different ... ...

Thank you, I am not hungry at the moment

I suppose I will have to bear it myself. What rank did you achieve among the new students that you are obliged to help me with my burdens?

Is there?

Oh ... ...

Then good

The next day, before dawn, Song Qian's voice could be heard outside: "Xuan Ge, something big has happened, you are on the front page of the school newspaper!"

Since ancient times, without a spiritual vein, one cannot cultivate spirituality, and now I am even unable to summon my own spiritual weapon, the Moon Blade

I do not know either; it has been like this since the destruction of the achievement

That... Song Qian scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Ranked 1273... cough cough, although there are only 1274 new students this year..."

Here, use my card, eat my food, there is still some money left on my card
