C240 I'm a Teacher(1)
Sky High's test on his students lasted four days, and half of them were eliminated. In other words, less than a thousand of them had been eliminated. Moreover, he did not blindly pursue strength. He wanted to see if this person could stimulate his potential in adversity. In addition to his diligent training in the future, this way, he would be able to produce more talents.
The number of people left behind was very average. Half of them were aristocrats from the Empire, while the rest were occupied by the aristocrats from the other three empires and the children from the Arte Empire.
After the test ended, Qingtian stood in front of the people who could stay and said, "I'm very happy to be your teacher from today onwards. I'm not the only one teaching you here. I'm sure you've all seen that there are close to a thousand of you, and I can't take you all with me. That way, I won't be able to learn anything. However, I can guarantee that what you have learned here will definitely allow you to at least level up in a short period of time. However."
Atlas changed the topic and revealed a serious expression." You should be mentally prepared to learn here. First of all, I'm still very strict with you. This isn't the kind of school you think it is. Your spirits will be tensed up every day, and your physical body will constantly challenge its limits. When the time comes, if there's someone who can't take it anymore, you can directly walk out of this door. "
Although the people below were all injured, hearing what Qingtian said, everyone has an eager feeling. They found someone to treat their students. Although they were different in strength, they were able to stay behind. However, they were all tough guys. The small injuries that Qingtian had inflicted on them would be healed very quickly.
Today was finally the day of school. Qingtian's class division was very interesting. It was different from the traditional schools. There was no separation between magic and martial arts techniques at all. Instead, they were placed together according to the location and identity of these people. According to his words, "Birds of a feather flock together." This would also allow them to familiarize themselves with and cooperate better. Moreover, there would be competition between each class.
Each lesson would have two teachers who would teach magic and martial arts respectively. Of course, most of them were only targeted at the weaker civilians. Those who had already graduated from the academy had too much knowledge. It was just a little bit of assistance. After all, these people had come for Atlas.
There were also humanities subjects in the academy. Although no one was interested, Atlas required everyone to study seriously. If they failed the final exam, they would be expelled!
The first lesson of this day's academy was the public lesson that Atlas taught everyone. It was still carried out in arena. Everyone sat around him. Because it was a class, even the magic barrier was not activated this time.
"Today is the first lesson I will give everyone. What I want to say is very important. Perhaps some people are disdainful, even though I am your teacher. However, I do not have the qualifications to ask you to listen to me. But I believe that the reason you came here is to learn my martial techniques." As he spoke, Qingtian took out an iron greatsword and a tree branch. "Anyone who wants to fight me, show them to me." As soon as he finished speaking, the first soldier he knocked out a few days ago stepped forward. "General, I am willing!"
"Okay, I know your name, Dartan, right? As the battalion commander. You're indeed young and promising. Now that there are two weapons here, may I ask what you'll choose?" " Of course it will be a big sword. We, swordman, have been using big swords since we started learning. Moreover, this way, we will have more power and will be able to deal more damage to the enemy. " After saying that, he picked up the big sword from the ground without any hesitation.
"Alright, then everyone must see clearly how I defeated him with this tree branch." As he spoke, Qingtian picked up the tree branch. "We don't need Dou Qi. We'll just rely on martial skills to see which one is stronger." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Tatan to start and rushed over.
He didn't need it at all during the test. At that time, Atlas was just defending. Now, he was taking the initiative to attack. Although he didn't have confidence, as a soldier, Dartan... He faced the Sky High's attack and rushed forward. "Good!" Tian Qingtian shouted. He randomly waved the tree branch in his hand and chopped down. Da Tan subconsciously used his greatsword to block the attack. With a clang, he was pressed down. A hole actually appeared in the iron greatsword in his hand! The tree branch in Atlas's hand seemed to have been cast with magic, and it didn't break at all.
"How could it be like this?" Da Tan did not understand. How could this small branch cut open an opening in his weapon? He weighed the greatsword in his hand. It was a genuine heavy iron sword. Although its quality was rough, it was definitely not something that fragile tree branch could break.
"Don't understand? Then you'll understand after a few more times!" As he spoke, Qingtian ignored him, who was still in a daze. He attacked again. Only then did Da Tan engage in battle in panic. However, he still had some doubts. The two of them exchanged dozens of blows, and 'pipa' sounds rang out continuously. Finally, when they separated, everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Tian Qingtian was still standing there with an intact branch in his hand. However, the large sword in Da Tan's hand was full of holes. It was already in tatters.
In the end, Atlas took another step forward and fiercely stabbed towards his chest. Once again, he hurriedly used his greatsword to block it. Since the large swords on the continent were very wide, he could use the sword to block Atlas's attack. However, an unbelievable scene occurred again: that thin branch actually penetrated through the iron greatsword and pressed against his chest. "Ah?" The people on top all sighed, not believing the scene in front of them.
"Everyone, there is no need to doubt the thing I took out. There is no problem with its quality. But why is it that you can see the big sword through this tiny tree branch? " Tian Qingtian gestured for Dartan to return and asked everyone.
"Why? Why is Ashlow able to use a weak tree branch to pierce through the big sword without using any combat power?" The people on top discussed animatedly. Finally, a commoner who was only at swordman level spoke. "Because this branch is in your hands!" His voice was not loud, and it was a little shaky. Perhaps it was because there were many powerful people present. Therefore, he did not have much confidence.
However, Qingtian's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. "Yes, it's because it's in my hands!" Seeing the puzzled expression of the students, Atlas continued, "It's very strange, isn't it? Just because it's stronger than him? But even if there's a huge gap, it's impossible to use a fragile tree branch to pierce through the iron sword. Moreover, we didn't even use Dou Qi. I didn't do anything to these two weapons either. It should be said that it's impossible. Because the material difference between these two things was too great, it could be said that an iron weapon could easily cut through wood. On the contrary, if wood is cut into iron, it will be very easy for me to break it." As he spoke, Qingtian experimented on each of them according to his instructions.
"Now I'll tell you why, which is also our first lesson today." As he spoke, he picked up the branch that had been chopped off. "Swordman are used to using big swords, and they use their full strength almost every time. But how many of them can actually cut the enemy's body? I'm afraid they only have one or two swings. My method just now was to concentrate my strength on one point, and not put all of your strength on the entire sword. Then split it up, unable to cause any more serious damage to the enemy." As he spoke, Qingtian picked up the greatsword once more.
"Watch the greatsword carefully. If I use my fingers this time, I might be able to see more clearly. Concentrate all of your power on the center of your fingertips. If you add a little bit of rotation, like this." As he spoke, Qingtian suddenly thrust his finger at the greatsword. "With a poof, another hole appeared on the greatsword.
"Remember, all attacks are like this. It's such a big sword. If you swing it like before, not only will you waste a lot of energy, but also a lot of energy. And there won't be any expected effects. You have to control it well and concentrate your energy at a certain point. When you clash with your opponent, put all your power there, like this... Even if it's a weak branch, it can still cut through a hard iron sword. "
