Jiang Han was stunned after hearing this. He hadn't expected Li Feng to be so amazing! Is this true? Is Teacher Liu Qiang kidding?!
Li Feng is just a sixteen-year-old student and a junior swordsman. What he said is too weird.
The other four people had similar expressions. While Li Feng was indeed very strong, and felt even stronger than their class's strongest, Jiang Han, after Teacher Liu Qiang's explanation, it felt like he wasn't just stronger, but several times stronger. The gap was simply too huge.
"Teacher, does this mean that Li Feng is invincible?" Shen Chen asked
"He's not invincible. Anyone at a higher realm can easily defeat him. If he's invincible, he's more like invincible at the same level." Teacher Liu Qiang's words were truly speechless. No swordsman in history had ever appeared who could surpass an opponent by leaping a realm.
"To deal with a swordsman like Li Feng, who has such a monstrous fighting talent, you can only use force to defeat him. There is no other way. If Li Feng were at the same level as me and challenged me to a fight, I would probably just give up. There is no need to fight against such a monster, it is impossible to win." Teacher Liu Qiang sighed.
"Ah—then what about Brother Jiang Han? Doesn't that mean there's no hope of defeating the other party?"
"..." Teacher Liu Qiang was silent, then said to Jiang Han: "You can fight, but don't worry about winning or losing. You will learn a lot from fighting with your opponent, more than you would learn from practicing sword alone. Just like now, haven't you learned what a real battle should be like? Li Feng's battle is the most classic example."
…
There were eight classes and forty students. Each match was between two players, for a total of twenty matches, which were completed in one afternoon.
The first qualifying round decided the top four. Next month, the second qualifying round will decide the top two from the top four. The top two and the bottom two will be decided from the bottom four.
This one month in between is a time to urge students to practice diligently, to cultivate hard for the ranking and honor of the class competition a month later.
The main purpose of the Swordsman Academy's ranking competition is for teaching, and the ranking competition is just a means.
Therefore, the qualifying competition organizes teams according to class, and arranges the order of appearance according to combat power. There is a month between each competition to provide time for summary and training.
This qualifying competition is held once a month, takes three months to complete, and is held once a year.
Students of the academy can study in the academy for a maximum of four years. Those who have not been promoted to the level of swordsman by the age of 20 will be treated as dropouts and must leave the school.
Students who cannot be promoted to swordsmen before the age of 20 have no possibility of being promoted to sword masters, and are completely worthless for the Bishui Sword Sect to train.
These people would be given the status of a candidate outer disciple by the academy, but it was just a status and had no use.
Before the age of twenty, all those who have advanced to the level of Sword Master in the academy, regardless of grade or age, will be considered to have graduated early. After graduation, they will enter the Sword Sect and become outer disciples to proceed to the next stage of cultivation.
…
After today's game, back in the classroom, Teacher Wang Li first gave all the students a brief post-game summary.
"Everyone, you've done well. Keep practicing. The semifinals will begin in a month. Our opponents are the Luli class. You should have gotten to know the students in their class through today's competition. Now, everyone should practice at your own pace."
After saying that, he left the kendo room. He dragged Zhao Ding out of the kendo room with his flying sword, as if he had something urgent to deal with.
The three students looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
"I think they sent Zhao Ding back to the dormitory. Didn't they say he was fine?" Qian Yu guessed.
"We've only heard of Zhao Ding's talent, and we only have a vague understanding of it. We don't fully understand the specifics. Since Teacher Wang Li said it's okay, we don't need to worry." Yu Kun also suspected it was Zhao Ding's fault and was worried, but he didn't show it. Instead, he advised Qian Yu not to worry. What a good friend.
Bi Yao was also confused by this. Although she guessed it was berserk, berserk was also a taboo in the family. She had only heard of the name and did not know more information.
He Lin looked at the direction where Teacher Wang Li left, and also guessed that it was related to Zhao Ding's madness.
It seems that the sequelae of frenzy are much more serious than what Teacher Wang Li told us.
However, judging by how Wang Li treated Zhao Ding, Zhao Ding should be fine. He might need someone to look after him, and he shouldn't be distracted. The further he goes, the more he needs to concentrate.
So, while Bi Yao gave him a lot of advice during the match, he only said a few words before the match and a look of encouragement afterward. After the two of them competed, Teacher Wang Li said virtually nothing about the other classes' matches. He also didn't watch the matches, remaining silent throughout with his head bowed.
What I just said to them seemed very urgent and tiring.
Was he using sword power to suppress Zhao Ding's frenzy? Li Feng had this guess, but he didn't say it out loud.
He Lin was very interested in berserk. However, knowing that now was not the time to study it, he calmed down and walked to where he usually practiced sword skills, entering into his training state once again.
Qian Yu praised: "Li Feng has a really good mentality. After participating in the competition, he can still practice sword like usual. He is so hardworking. No wonder he is the strongest among us."
Yu Kun glanced at Li Feng and said to Qian Yu, "Have you noticed that Li Feng seems to be a sword fanatic? Apart from practicing swordsmanship, he has no interest in anything else."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. This guy seems to have never spoken a word to us. What's going on? Is he really a sword fanatic?" Qian Yu thought about it carefully and exclaimed, "Sword fanatic!" He had only heard of it, but had never seen it. Is Li Feng a sword fanatic like this? He didn't know.
"I think so. Although I haven't seen a sword fanatic, I have seen painting fanatics in Mo City. They are all like this. Apart from painting, they are not interested in other things or other people." Yu Kun seemed to be thinking of someone, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"The painting idiot you are talking about is not you, is it?" Qian Yu said with a strange smile
"How is that possible? I'm far from that level." Yu Kun quickly denied
"Sword maniac? Li Feng?" Bi Yao thought for a moment, then compared the description of the sword maniac with his memory. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Li Feng isn't really a sword maniac. He's quiet, maybe because he looks down on weaklings like us."
Thinking about the whole process from standing up to returning to his seat on the court, his demeanor of a strong man was not forced, but a true belief from the bottom of his heart that he was a strong man. Such a strong heart is really impressive.
He wasn't interested in anything other than sword training, probably because no strong person would care about the affairs of a weak person. Only the strong could attract his attention.
Like Teacher Wang Li now, but when he is promoted to a swordsman, Teacher Wang Li will no longer attract his attention, and the one who attracts his attention will become the swordsman.
