Wow, that's fast!
Jiang Fan was highly focused, constantly observing Lan Shengxue's movements.
Bang bang bang!
Jiang Fan was kicked several times and kept retreating.
At this moment, he was quickly reviewing the leg techniques he had just used. To his surprise, he found that although he had memorized these moves, they were too strange, unpredictable, complex, and flexible to use in a short time.
He'll need to go back and find a secluded spot to practice two or three more times before he can apply it fluently.
"Smack!"
Jiang Fan's blocking stance was swatted away by Lan Shengxue's long legs. Before he could defend again, he saw sharp, jade-like fingers pressed against his forehead.
" Lan Shengxue wins," Wei Cangyue announced.
Lan Shengxue withdrew her hand and looked at Jiang Fan with admiration.
"You haven't systematically studied martial arts techniques, and your strength is far inferior to mine, yet you've managed to fight me to this extent; that's quite impressive."
Jiang Fan remained silent.
He didn't have time to talk; he was quickly processing what he had just learned.
As for winning or losing, he didn't care too much.
After all, he was only Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice, while Lan Shengxue was a genuine Early-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, and a genius among geniuses.
The idea of defeating Lan Shengxue without using Psychic Power is too far-fetched; he wouldn't be so arrogant.
Wei Cangyue walked up to Jiang Fan Jiang Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"There's no need to be so discouraged. After all, Lan Shengxue is a rare genius. You've actually done very well. It's just that your class was a bit unlucky to have someone like Lan Shengxue. So the spotlight on your class is destined to belong only to her."
Jiang Fan glanced at him, then sat down to the side, closing his eyes to process the complex and varied moves.
Upon seeing this, Wei Cangyue shook his head.
Reality is cruel; without talent, even if you try your best, it's hard to appreciate the view from the top.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious how you suddenly advanced to the Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice?"
This was what everyone wanted to know, so they all pricked up their ears to listen.
Jiang Fan smiled, "Would you believe me if I said I was exceptionally gifted and suddenly advanced in rank overnight?"
He was telling the truth, but judging from Wei Cangyue's expression, it was hard to believe him.
"You think I won't know just because you don't want to tell me? You're really good at hiding things. You've probably already reached the Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice level, and you're deliberately keeping it to yourself. Are you planning to trick me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Jiang Youtian and Wei Qi.
Just as Wei Cangyue said, Jiang Youtian and Wei Qi were both tricked by Jiang Fan.
This Jiang Fan, despite having such a handsome and righteous face, turns out to be a complete idiot.
So insidious!
More than half an hour later.
Wei Cangyue: "Everyone, are you all rested enough? Now, come with me to one place for the second training session."
Soon, the students in the special training class followed Wei Cangyue to a place called the " Demon Beast Research Institute ".
Seeing this, the students couldn't help but ask, " Instructor Wei, why did you bring us here?"
Wei Cangyue chuckled, "You bunch of Brat, all you've got is bickering and fighting with your classmates. Today I've brought you here to see real monsters. Not in books, not on computers, but standing right in front of them and feeling the pressure they exert on you."
Upon hearing this, most of the students' faces gradually turned grim.
Wei Cangyue glanced around and said with a smile, "You are free to choose whether or not to participate in this training. Oh, let me make this clear from the start. If you don't participate, you won't need to come to my training classes in the future. After all, as a member of the Divine Wind Guard, I don't want to teach a bunch of cowards."
The students breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the first part of Wei Cangyue's sentence, but after hearing the rest, they all had to give up their plans.
If you really want to leave the special training class, you can still participate in the martial arts exam, but if word gets out, I'm afraid no martial arts school will be willing to accept you.
Thinking of this, the students had no choice but to grit their teeth.
"We're not afraid! Anyway, those monsters are all locked up and guarded by special personnel. Let's go take a look. What's there to be afraid of?"
"That's right, those monsters are just a little bigger than normal animals. We're not afraid. Instructor Wei, please take us inside."
Wei Cangyue: "I am very pleased with your decision. This is the quality that we martial artists should have. After all, most of you will be going to the wilderness to train in the future. The wildness and oppressive power of the monsters you see there will be ten times more terrifying than what you see in this Demon Beast Research Institute. If one day we need to protect our country and fight monsters to the end, are you afraid and back down? Do you want ordinary people and your families to stand in front of you?"
These words were like a shot of adrenaline to the students. They had previously agreed to go in just to stay in the special training class, but now their enthusiasm had been ignited.
Just as Wei Cangyue said, if that day really comes and they don't stand on the front line to fight against the monsters, then the monsters will tear down the high walls, invade their homes, and devour their loved ones.
Despite their initial enthusiasm, when these students, who had never experienced cruelty and bloodshed, actually saw the monster, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they kept swallowing their saliva.
Before them stood enormous cages, imprisoning all sorts of demonic beasts.
"This—this is Golden One-Horned Lion! My God! Is it really that big? And its eyes are so terrifying. I feel an inexplicable fear just from one look at it."
"There's also the Mist-Hidden Flying Crow, a type of demonic beast extremely adept at concealment, and it almost exclusively appears in foggy weather. If you encounter this beast in the wilderness, you must leave the foggy area as quickly as possible."
"Look! That's Twin-Tailed Blood-Eyed Wolf. I saw its encyclopedia entry on my phone before. It said that although it's not particularly big, it can swallow a 200-pound fat man whole with one mouth."
"That terrifying?"
Just then, the Twin-Tailed Blood-Eyed Wolf stood up, howled at the group of students surrounding it, and revealed its fangs and claws.
The Golden One-Horned Lion and other monsters roared terrifyingly, looking as if they were about to break free of their cages at any moment.
"Mommy! How terrifying!" One student was so scared that he sat down on the ground with a thud.
Several girls huddled together, trembling, and some even began to sob quietly.
Wei Qi swallowed hard, enduring his weak legs, and stood in front of Tong Shuyao.
" Shuyao, don't be afraid, I... I will protect you."
Jiang Youtian looked at Lan Shengxue and said, "I will protect you too."
Lan Shengxue turned around and glanced calmly at Jiang Youtian, who was hiding behind her, a hint of disgust flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Stay away from me.
Wei Cangyue had been secretly observing the group of students. He noticed that apart from Lan Shengxue, only Mu Feng and Jiang Fan remained relatively calm.
Lan Shengxue wasn't surprised. After all, he was a member of the Lan Family of Fortress No. 1; what kind of situation hadn't he seen?
Mu Feng... This kid's face was only slightly pale, but he didn't show any sign of ease. He's a promising talent.
Jiang Fan and Wei Cangyue found it somewhat incomprehensible.
