This couldn't be blamed on Jiang Han. He had graduated from the Junior Class and had advanced to Swordsman status six months before the start of the school year. He had spent four months learning a powerful yet difficult-to-enter sword technique from the Sword Sect. He had mastered the extremely lethal Swordsman-level technique, the Iceberg Sword Technique.
From the day Jiang Han was sent to the academy by the envoy, he spent all his time studying and practicing swordplay. He had no experience in combat.
When facing Li Feng, whose combat awareness is abnormally strong, even if he becomes one level stronger and opens up nine meridians, which is three times the number of meridians of the opponent, he will still lose.
In the first official battle, despite having the upper hand in strength, he was completely defeated by his opponent. This was indeed a huge blow to Jiang Han.
The competition between the other two classes had already begun on the stage. Liu Qiang took a glance and found that the other four students were not watching the competition on the stage, but eavesdropping on their conversation. So he said: "Come over here too, I will tell you about Li Feng's strength."
Yuan Feng and the other three immediately sat around Teacher Liu Qiang.
"Li Feng is truly an anomaly," Teacher Liu Qiang sighed, then began, "From the beginning to the end of the fight, Li Feng executed a total of five moves. It took six seconds."
Teacher Liu Qiang started by talking about two pieces of data, which immediately shocked the five students.
Because of the fighting, Jiang Han only fought for a few moves, but it felt like an eternity. He had no idea how long it had been. He hadn't expected it to be only six seconds. How could he have only lasted six seconds against Li Feng?
The other four people also admired the thrill of the duel and forgot about time. They just felt that it was very short. Li Feng defeated Jiang Han in a crushing manner, but they didn't know the exact time. Who would have thought it would only take six seconds?
This is terrifying! He defeated a swordsman who was one level higher than him in less than ten seconds. What a terrifying person! If I were to go on the field and fight him at the same level, wouldn't I be defeated in an instant?!
Jiang Han felt Li Feng's terrifying power for the first time. The funny thing was that it happened after the war, when the teacher was explaining it.
"Except for the move that took two seconds to deflect Jiang Han's sword, the other moves took about one second. Do you understand what this means?"
"This means that when Li Feng was a sword apprentice, he had already practiced the Basic Sword Technique to the point where it was almost instinctive, and he could now perfectly control every movement of his body. His body was completely in tune with every move in the Basic Sword Technique."
"When swordsmen fight, victory or defeat is decided in a single blow, life or death in a split second."
"I've only seen someone like Li Feng cultivate the 'Basic Sword Technique' into instinct in one place: the Demon Slayer Palace. They've been battling the Demon Sect disciples for a long time, and those who've survived have basically cultivated the sword technique into instinct. Those who haven't either left the Demon Slayer Palace midway or died in battle."
"So, Li Feng is an anomaly. Li Feng is only sixteen years old, yet he possesses such a well-tempered sword and such a strong fighting consciousness. It's truly bizarre."
"This is the first reason why Li Feng is so strong." This is the reason that his students can understand most easily, so Liu Qiang was the first to say it.
"The second strength lies in Li Feng's battle rhythm. You may not have noticed that after Jiang Han launched his attack, he completely followed Li Feng's battle rhythm. Therefore, he defeated Jiang Han with only five basic sword moves. Battle rhythm is the most intuitive expression of combat intelligence. Right now, because you are at the swordsman stage, you should focus on training and have no combat missions to perform. You don't understand the importance and difficulty of combat intelligence. When you become sword masters, you will understand."
Most of those who chose to be teachers at the Swordsman Academy did so because their combat intelligence was too poor. This mission required the least combat intelligence, so they chose to be instructors at the Swordsman Academy. Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it.
This is the most direct reason for Jiang Han's failure, so Liu Qiang ranked it second.
"The third is prediction." Speaking of this, Teacher Liu Qiang shook his head and said, "Actually, many people can predict this, but it's sometimes accurate, sometimes not. As long as you have more combat experience, you can all do this. However, the terrifying thing about Li Feng is that his predictions are always accurate, without a single mistake. So, when Jiang Han fights, it always feels like he can't use his strength. He can only be led by Li Feng, and in the end, he is defeated before he can even show his strength."
This is a detail, and it's also the most direct feeling for Jiang Han and the audience. But it's a feeling that's hard to pin down. Now, after Liu Qiang's explanation, it suddenly feels like a sudden enlightenment. So that was a prejudgment?
"This is the scary thing about prediction." Liu Qiang seemed to want to say more, but he was hesitant, so he started with a summary, ending the topic of prediction in one sentence.
"Fourth, Li Feng's control ability is extremely strong. Every movement he makes is flawless. The size of his steps, the height of his hands, the release and retraction of his sword energy, the strength of his power, the use of his secret techniques, and so on, are all controlled with absolute precision. This ability is terrifying. He is truly an anomaly." Even Liu Qiang himself found this reason strange. How could one person achieve this? If it weren't for his natural love of recording and analyzing data, he might not have discovered it. Even if he had discovered it, Liu Qiang himself would have doubted whether the record was wrong, not to mention his students. Therefore, he was ranked fourth. He didn't expect his students to understand or even learn from him. He just understood that Li Feng had a talent in this area.
"Fifth, his state of mind is exceptionally good. From beginning to end, his state of mind was remarkably peaceful. You haven't reached the level of Sword Master yet, so you don't understand how formidable a talent it is to maintain a peaceful state of mind during battle." He was clearly impressed by Li Feng's talent in this area, but after a moment's thought, he added, "In fact, even at the Swordsman level, this was already evident. From beginning to end, didn't Jiang Han sense any hostility or fighting intent from Li Feng?"
"Yes, teacher, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. It's true. Until the opponent's sword was placed on my neck, I only felt the coldness of the metal material of the sword, and did not sense Li Feng's hostility and fighting spirit. No wonder I didn't think of using the secret techniques in the Iceberg Sword Technique when fighting, because I didn't sense any danger from beginning to end." Jiang Han felt his scalp tingling at this time. It was too terrible. He could actually paralyze his opponent into this state. Such talent was indeed terrible.
Liu Qiang looked at Jiang Han who was filled with fear, and did not say that the true horror of this talent would only be revealed when one reached the realm of sword intent.
The first is that they can't get in touch with him now, and telling him will only add to their troubles. The second is that Jiang Han has reached his limit and can't tell him anymore.
"In summary, Li Feng's talent and abilities are both heaven-defying. It's not a talent for cultivation, but a talent for combat. He may be the most powerful being in your class, no, this generation. Living in the same era as such a genius is both your fortune and your misfortune."
