Qian Yu thought for a moment and replied in a questioning tone, "Didn't you say last time that you have super strong control over sword energy?"
"Yes! The meridians are more complex, but the sword energy is also more powerful. As long as one has super strong control over the sword energy, the time difference can be relatively small. But the time can't be basically the same, right? Even if the control is strong, it's impossible for him to not waste any time at all."
Yu Kun's eyes seemed to glow as he looked in Li Feng's direction, as if he were looking at a rare animal. He Lin was helpless about this; he couldn't slow down his cultivation just because of this.
For He Lin, for extraordinary professions, level is everything. If he can upgrade, he will definitely not wait and will upgrade immediately.
It is not advisable to reduce the speed of cultivation. It doesn't matter if you are found to be a little "evil", as long as it does not affect your own cultivation and the mission of eliminating demons and defending the way of heaven.
"you mean?"
"In addition to his powerful control, Li Feng also has a strong calculation ability. He can calculate in advance how to practice to achieve the best results and waste as little time as possible. Only then can he achieve this ideal state."
"It could be a coincidence that only two meridians have been opened." Qian Yu disagreed and felt that Yu Kun was exaggerating a bit.
The same person is not as talented as you say, just a little better. And super calculation ability, bullshit.
Yu Kun was also a little uncertain and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then it depends on how long it takes for his third meridian to be opened."
Four days later, Zhao Ding finally made the final cut.
More than a month after school started, all students in the exemption class were promoted to swordsmen.
That day, Teacher Wang Li came to the kendo room as usual and took a look around. After seeing Zhao Ding advance to the swordsman level, he said happily, "Great, all the members of our exemption class have advanced to the swordsman level. We can finally move on to the grade ranking competition."
"Qualifying round?!" Zhao Ding had just finished the promotion and returned from the shower when he saw Teacher Wang Li coming and heard this explosive news.
"We can fight now. Who will we fight with?" Zhao Ding shouted excitedly.
"What nonsense is this big idiot saying?" Bi Yao complained helplessly.
Qian Yu rubbed his forehead, Yu Kun shook his head, and He Lin looked at him with amusement, smiling slightly. These classmates really were full of youth and energy. In comparison, he was just a boring old otaku!
Teacher Wang Li glared at Zhao Ding and scolded him, "This isn't a fight, this is a qualifying competition. Our grade has eight classes, and each class has a standard of five people. The qualifying competition will begin in two days. I didn't expect that all of you have advanced to swordsmen and met the competition requirements. It's not easy for our exempted class to not miss the qualifying competition this year!"
Finally, she sighed deeply, thinking that it was Li Feng's leading role that made the other four of them pay more attention to their training, and all of them had trained to the level of swordsman before the qualifying round.
"Teacher, why wouldn't we participate? We're also the Jade Water Sword Sect's prospective outer disciples, the elite among the elite." Bi Yao said dissatisfiedly. Although it was a dissatisfied tone, one could hear a sense of pride. It seemed that Bi Yao had known about the qualifying rounds long ago.
Qian Yu and Yu Kun seemed to know about it, but judging from Zhao Ding's reaction just now, he didn't know. He Lin was concentrating on cultivation and also didn't know about it.
Zhao Ding didn't know, probably to allow him to focus on his training and advancement. Given his personality, knowing would have actually affected his training speed, and ultimately prevented him from participating in the qualifying rounds. It seemed these little guys took the qualifying rounds very seriously.
Teacher Wang Li decisively got straight to the point: "We need a captain for the qualifying round. Who among you will be the captain?"
The four of them stared at each other for a moment, no one speaking. Herlin didn't care who would be captain at all, calmly waiting for them to come to a conclusion. Yu Kun pointed at Li Feng and said, "Let's decide based on the order of advancement. Li Feng will be captain first. Then, we'll make adjustments based on combat effectiveness."
The captain has no real power, it is just a title, and no one has any intention of fighting for it.
When Teacher Wang Li saw that Li Feng was the captain, he said with satisfaction, "Okay, then Li Feng is the captain. We don't have a team yet and don't even have a name, so you can think of one."
Herlin didn't care, and the other four teenagers immediately became excited.
"We must work hard to make our Zhao Ding team the champion." Zhao Ding shouted.
"What Zhao Ding team? Are you shameless? I think the name of the team should be Qian Duoduo Team, which represents that our team has a strong ability to make money." Qian Yu immediately took over Zhao Ding's words and said his ideal name, smacking his lips as if he was savoring the taste.
"Ugh—what a lousy name! It's so vulgar, too vulgar." Bi Yao immediately retorted, "We're going to be powerful swordsmen in the future. How can we have such a vulgar name? I think we should call it the Yao Baby Team. Yeah, that's a nice name."
"What's so nice about it? It's not like girls are playing house."
"What did you say, you big fool? Say it again!"
"Ah? Did I say something? Did you hear it wrong?"
"Your voice is so loud and distinctive, it's hard for me to mishear it!"
"We are a class exempt from examinations, so let's just call ourselves the Exemption Team."
"What do you mean by trial-free team? That sounds terrible. Change the name."
Teacher Wang Li watched with great interest the endless argument among her four students. He Lin shook his head helplessly and went to practice the "Bi Tao Sword Technique" nearby.
Wang Li glanced at Li Feng's practice and was astonished. This kid's Bi Tao Sword Technique was so perfect, as if it were tailor-made for him. There wasn't a single unnecessary movement, not a single waste of sword energy; all of it was used to open up the meridians.
It looked like the third meridian would be opened up soon. But why couldn't I feel the ocean waves?
Without the artistic conception of ocean waves, it was truly an anomaly to be able to achieve such a cultivation speed. Those at the same realm who cultivated faster were those who had comprehended the artistic conception related to the sword technique they were practicing.
Although it is easier to gain insights when one reaches the realm of perfect sword energy, after all, all the students in the Swordsman Academy are geniuses. Every year, about half of them can find the relevant artistic conception of the swordsmanship they practice at the junior swordsman level, speed up their practice, and graduate early.
"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to remind Li Feng that he is now training at the swordsman level, not the sword apprentice level, and the emphasis is starting to change. We should focus on the artistic conception of swordsmanship rather than the sword techniques." When Wang Li was staring at He Lin's training in a daze, the four of them finally thought of the name.
"Teacher Wang Li, Teacher Wang Li..." Qian Yu stood in front of Teacher Wang Li and called out loudly several times before Teacher Wang Li came back to her senses.
