Chapter 266 The Undefeated Sword God
Dean Li chatted for half an hour, and Shi Xiaohan was also distracted for half an hour.
Her thoughts drifted out of the window unknowingly, drifting to the canteen not far away, and began to think about the eternal problem of "what to eat for lunch today".
When Dean Li finally said, "That's all I want to say," Shi Xiaohan finally came back to his senses.
Seeing that the other students next to her were clapping, she was stunned for a second, and then she clapped her hands too.
As a swordsman, Shi Xiaohan naturally chose to major in swordsmanship after coming to the academy.
When she was a child, she practiced martial arts under the guidance of her father. Later, when she became an official in the Exorcism Department of Yishui County, she basically taught herself in her own courtyard, following the secret books.
Over the years, she threw away many pairs of worn-out embroidered shoes; she also left countless knife marks on the trunk of the thick sycamore tree at home.
In short, they are all alone.
Now that she came to the academy and had to learn swordsmanship with more than ten peers, she felt quite uncomfortable.
There was always an invisible pressure lingering in her heart, and she couldn't help but glance at the other people around her from the corner of her eyes, secretly competing with them.
The one who taught them swordsmanship was a thin, one-armed old man with disheveled gray hair and a beard. He was wearing a linen shirt full of patches. He exuded the smell of not taking a bath for a long time. The sour smell.
It doesn’t look like a teacher from Longmen Academy, but like a beggar on the street carrying a broken bowl begging for food.
Of course, if an ordinary person is slovenly, others will think that he has poor hygiene and bad living habits; but if a master is slovenly, others will only think that he has personality.
In addition, this sloppy old man also pinned a pink silk flower on his lapel, which gave people an even more ridiculous feeling.
But no one here dared to laugh.
Although the old man did not introduce himself, many students present did not know his name or his origins.
But those who can teach at Longmen Academy are definitely not ordinary people.
Therefore, the students were focused and respectful in front of him, and they did not dare to neglect at all.
"You all pull out your weapons and use your best moves to chop at me." As soon as the one-armed old man entered the room, he squinted and looked around at the students present, and then struck. Yawning, he said lazily, "I want to take a closer look to see if this freshmen class will be worse than the last one."
His eyes fell on a short and fat boy.
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward tremblingly.
Every time he takes a step forward, a light shines on his body - magical powers and magic weapons are all activated at this moment, releasing majestic energy.
When he walked in front of the one-armed old man, a black turtle shadow appeared behind him. The shadow was wrapped with majestic momentum, like a rolling tsunami, which shocked the students present. They couldn't help but take a step back.
“It turned out to be the ‘Xuanwu Sword Technique’!”
"I didn't expect that the young master of General Wu's family has actually practiced their family's secret skills to such an extent!"
"..."
Some students were whispering beside him.
Hearing their words, Shi Xiaohan pursed his lips into a thin line.
Longmen Academy is indeed a gathering place for the children of powerful people and talented monks.
Everything she was once proud of, whether it was talent, swordsmanship, family background, or wealth, were commonplace here.
However, after seeing Mr. Wu's astonishing blow, the one-armed old man showed a look of disappointment and shook his head gently.
At the same time, he waved his right hand.
A broken broom placed in the corner of the house suddenly flew into his hand.
He held the broom in front of him.
From a distance, the one-armed old man was as skinny as a straw, and the huge black turtle seemed to be able to crush him to death with just one kick.
But the moment he held the broom, the black turtle suddenly braked and stopped in place, as if he had seen a natural enemy.
Then, it turned into countless light fragments and disappeared.
The Mr. Wu staggered back several steps and almost fell to the ground.
The saber he held in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang.
His face turned pale and he kept rubbing his hands, feeling pain from the tiger's mouth.
“You’re too impetuous in your sword skills,” I heard the one-armed old man frowning and commenting, “You haven’t even laid a solid foundation, and your posture of holding the sword is wrong, so you’re just messing around with some flashy things. The thing is clearly a grown man in the general's palace, but he likes to do sex work like a street actor..."
In a very sharp tone, the old man pointed out the flaws in Mr. Wu's sword skills without mercy. a series of questions.
Mr. Wu lowered his head, looking particularly depressed.
For his performance just now, he felt very good about himself, but he did not expect that this one-armed old man would still find dozens of faults.
Then, the old man waved his hand and said in a cold tone: "Next!"
Mr. Wu returned to the team with a gloomy face, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered to his companions: "This old man is really...I know he is very strong, at least a master of the fifth and sixth realms, but does he need to bully us like this..."
"I only used the peak of the second realm. Level of true energy."
Although Master Wu lowered his voice, the old man still heard his private complaints clearly and responded calmly. Mr. Wu stopped talking.
As a monk who had just entered the third realm, when he was swinging the sword just now, he used all his magical powers, magic weapons, and family secrets, but was stopped by the old man with his true energy at the peak level of the second realm.
It can be seen how terrifying the knife intention hidden in the old man's broom is.
After that, the students came to the old man one after another and displayed their most proud sword skills.
While lining up, they all had a lucky mentality, hoping that they would be the lucky ones recognized by the old man, and take this opportunity to gain the envious and admiring eyes of their classmates.
But the old man’s attitude remained the same.
Whether it was a noble prince with a distinguished family background or a talented swordsman with high hopes, he used sharp words to criticize them and reduced them to almost nothing.
“Do any of you know the origin of this old man?” Someone quietly asked his companions, “I never remember that there was such a master of swordsmanship in Longmen Academy... It seems that he taught swordsmanship a few months ago. He is not a Taoist person..."
Longmen Academy has never lacked students with backgrounds.
Someone responded quickly: "If I guessed correctly, he should be Hu Yun, known as the 'Invincible Sword God'. He was a disciple of the Sword Pavilion in Shu a long time ago, but because of the incident with the sword pavilion, After some festivals, he left the sect and gave up swordsmanship. About ten years ago, he came to Longmen Academy and became a guest teacher. However, he did not teach any students, but stayed in seclusion in the academy. , so it’s normal that you don’t know him.
“It’s just that I didn’t expect him to be out of prison now...”
Shi Xiaohan kept the name "Hu Yun" in his mind and planned to ask Gu Xu if he knew this person.
About half an hour later, it was finally Shi Xiaohan's turn to use his sword skills.
Because everyone in front of her was scolded in disgrace, when Xiaohan walked up to the old man, her heart was pounding nervously.
"Great God, please protect me from being criticized too badly..." she prayed silently.
At the same time, she pulled out the "Kunwu Sword" from the sheath on her back, activated the "Taotie Seal", used her best "Overlord Sword Technique", jumped up and faced down from top to bottom. He took the one-armed old man and struck him hard.
The heavy sword glowed with a crimson halo, as if stained with a layer of blood.
Taotie's shadow appeared on the blade and let out an angry roar.
The old man frowned slightly and took a step back.
However, he still easily blocked Shi Xiaohan's menacing knife with the help of the broom across his chest.
Shi Xiaohan's body suddenly froze and fell back to the ground from mid-air.
The Taotie, who was showing his teeth and claws, instantly turned into a sick cat.
“The strength is good,” the old man looked at Shi Xiaohan and commented in a calm tone, “There is that domineering energy, but the details are handled very poorly. She is obviously a little girl, so to play How can Daolai be as informal as those big and powerful men?”
Next, the old man pointed out Shi Xiaohan’s “flaws in jumping movements” and “deviation in the direction of swinging the knife” in an extremely critical manner. ", "True energy was wasted", "the timing of releasing magical powers is wrong" and more than ten problems.
Shi Xiaohan listened carefully and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Everyone present looked at her with surprised eyes, obviously not expecting the one-armed old man to say "not bad" to her.
With this old man's critical eye, this is a very high praise.
"Does any of you know who this girl is?" A student whispered beside her.
“I saw her perform in the Lantern Festival Arena. I heard from others that she is a monk from the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture.”
“Qingzhou Prefecture… I seem to have heard that the new Gu Jiaoxi who came here is also from Qingzhou. Qingzhou Prefecture is really full of talents recently!"
"But Qingzhou Prefecture has many talents, and there are also many ghosts..."
"..."
…………
When the old man finished commenting on each student’s sword skills, the academy bell rang leisurely, announcing the end of the morning class.
Students walked out of the house one after another, preparing to go to the dining hall.
Shi Xiaohan is naturally the most active one in eating.
When the bell rang, she ran to the front of the crowd, holding the student token tightly in her hands, sweating.
However, the one-armed old man suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."
Shi Xiaohan stopped and turned around, looking a little confused.
The old man continued: "Little girl, have you ever noticed that your strength is much stronger than others since you were a child?"
Shi Xiaohan pondered for a moment and nodded.
Her father said more than once that she had "brute strength."
Gu Xu also said to her many times, "The heroine has the heroic temperament to lift mountains and carry cavils."
It’s just that she didn’t know why the old man suddenly mentioned this matter.
But the other party did not give her an answer.
The old man was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Okay, you can go to eat."
