"Ah? Something happened?" Wang Li asked after coming back to his senses, his brain still short-circuited.

"Teacher Wang Li, we have decided on a name for the team." Qian Yu expressed helplessness.

"Oh? What's the name?" Wang Li asked curiously

"Our name is, Future Sword God Team. What do you think? Isn't it awesome?" Qian Yu reported to the teacher, his eyes full of admiration for the team's name.

"Uh—I'll think about it." Wang Li fled the kendo room. If he used this name, he would be laughed at. Sword God! That was the title of the most powerful swordsman in the world.

It hasn't appeared in so many years. I shook my head. I absolutely can't use this team name. Let's change to a traditional name.

…

Looking in the direction where Teacher Wang Li left, Yu Kun said helplessly, "It seems that Teacher Wang Li will reject this name and report it through the traditional method."

"What is the traditional way?" Zhao Ding asked, not knowing much about it.

"If we use the teacher's name and the class name, we might be called the Wang Li class."

"Ah?! This name is too ugly!" Zhao Ding said he couldn't accept it.

"If they were all like this, it would be acceptable! Based on past experience, if all the names were like this, it wouldn't seem out of place. I'd just be afraid someone would be a bit of a jerk and give them other names." Qian Yu thought to himself, "Just like us."

"If they dare, we will cut them down." Zhao Ding is the kind of person who can only set the fire himself and does not need others to light the lamp.

"Okay, okay, since we have that much time, we should practice more. Look at classmate Li Feng, how hardworking he is." Yu Kun pointed at Li Feng, then walked to the other side and began to practice swordsman-level swordsmanship.

"Although Li Feng's cultivation seems good, I always feel that it is strange. It feels different from the cultivation method taught by our family elders." Zhao Ding said according to his usual feeling.

"I feel the same way." Yu Kun nodded in agreement with Zhao Ding's statement: "Teacher Wang Li should have noticed it too, but she hasn't told Li Feng yet. Maybe she's still thinking about how to say it."

Qian Yu didn't care about this at all. He asked, "Zhao Ding, is your danger intuition working now? Among the four of us, who gives you the most dangerous feeling?"

Zhao Ding glanced around and said, "It's the same as when we were sword apprentices. Li Feng is the most dangerous, Bi Yao is second, Yu Kun is third, and you're about the same as me."

"How is that possible? I'm very powerful. I don't believe it. Let's have a fight, come on." Qian Yu expressed his dissatisfaction and threatened to take action.

"Okay, okay!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Ding was more excited than Qian Yu when he heard about fighting.

"Uh, forget it. I have something else to do. Maybe next time." Faced with Zhao Ding's gleaming eyes, Qian Yu immediately backed down. He quickly rejected his own proposal and fled from the kendo room.

"Hey, wait, we agreed to have a fight. Why did you run away?" Zhao Ding chased after him and left the kendo room.

"I'd have to be crazy to fight for you." Qian Yu's roar came from outside the door.

…

He Lin listened to all of this. He knew the advantages and disadvantages of the swordsmanship he practiced, but the artistic conception that Teacher Wang Li talked about left He Lin confused.

The concept of artistic conception is too idealistic. As for this kind of artistic things, no matter it is the technological world of the previous life, or the main world of this life, or the original worlds that have been traveled through, I have no research on art. I am just an idiot when it comes to art.

Artistic conception, how exactly should one acquire this? How can one imbue swordsmanship with artistic conception? Without anyone to guide him, He Lin was truly stumped.

However, He Lin was not in a hurry. After all, his cultivation speed was very fast at the moment. According to Teacher Wang Li, the artistic conception became more important as time went on. He still had time. He believed that there would be a solution.

…

Wang Li was also helpless about this. Artistic conception could only be understood, not expressed in words. That was why becoming a swordsman was such a hurdle in the path of sword cultivation. It had held back countless people. Although the academy had some teaching experience, in the end, it still depended on one's own understanding.

Why are there inner disciples and true disciples? It is because they do not have this hurdle that they are treated so specially.

The interesting thing is that the way sword apprentices practice is actually a bit outdated for swordsmen, and it is of no use at all when it comes to breaking through to become a swordsman. However, there is no choice but to upgrade to a swordsman before the age of 20 to have further possibilities.

Therefore, the training speed of both the sword apprentice and the swordsman is equally important. If you advance to the sword master level after the age of twenty, you will never be able to advance to the sword master level in this lifetime.

This is also a very helpless situation, so the Swordsman Academy can only recruit sword disciples who can practice quickly, and then guide them in the practice of artistic conception. This way the success rate is still very high.

The reason why those inner disciples and true disciples were inconspicuous when they were sword apprentices was because their sword intent seeds or sword souls did not add any bonus to their cultivation during their sword apprentice period.

If they are not discovered by the Sword Sect, they will be buried among the people. If they are promoted to Sword Master after the age of twenty, they will never be promoted to Sword Master in their lifetime.

…

Three days later, the third meridian was opened. If one more meridian was opened, he would be promoted to an intermediate swordsman. This cultivation speed is too fast! Are you sure there is something wrong with Li Feng's cultivation method?

Teacher Wang Li was also a little confused by this. How could one cultivate so quickly with the wrong cultivation method?

However, what needs to be said must be said. After all, a mistake is a mistake, and as a teacher, I have the obligation to correct and guide my students to practice kendo in the correct way.

"Everyone, come here. The qualifying order has been determined. This is the competition order and table. You can take a look. Li Feng, come with me. I have something to tell you."

He Lin followed Teacher Wang Li out to the entrance of the academy, then released his flying sword and said, "Come up."

He Lin boarded the flying sword. Teacher Wang Li urged the flying sword to the seaside. Looking at the sea, he said, "The 'bi shui' in the Bi shui sword sect is actually an ancient word, referring to the sea. 'bi tao' refers to the waves."

Herlin, who had a consciousness chip and had scanned the library, naturally knew this, but he still listened carefully to Teacher Wang Li's explanation. Teacher Wang Li's explanation probably meant that he wanted to guide him to learn artistic conception.

"I've observed your training. Your swordsman training is the same as your swordsman apprentice training, focusing on sword techniques. This method is the best when you're a swordsman apprentice. While it may be effective when you're a swordsman, it's not the right path. Do you know what a swordsman trains?"

Teacher Wang Li didn't bother asking He Lin to answer, so he answered his own question: "Sword apprentices cultivate the sword body, swordsmen cultivate sword energy, and sword masters cultivate sword intent. The cultivation of sword masters is also based on sword intent. No, it should be said that the cultivation of all realms after sword master is based on sword intent. Therefore, there is a saying in ancient times that sword masters are the formal entry point for sword practice."
