But after the Jiangzhong military personnel stood up, they were taken aback again.
Because no one else present reacted.
Although the Earl of Pingyang was only the principal of the Jiangzhong Military Academy, his status was first and foremost that of a king or marquis.
This is completely unscientific!
Who would dare to show disrespect to a king or nobleman to his face?
Apart from Ning Zhiyuan and Cheng Qingqing, Shen Qian reacted quickly.
He had seen this scene with his teacher before, so it was clear that the others were not deliberately ignoring the Earl of Pingyang, but rather that they were simply unaware of his existence.
As Shen Qian thought this, he glanced at the platform in the distance, and sure enough, the Earl of Pingyang was still there.
Most of those appearing here are just clones.
The Earl of Pingyang nodded slightly, casually found a seat and sat down, then gestured for everyone else to sit down as well.
"Since Batian Military has been able to rise to prominence in just ten years, it must not have relied on arrogance."
The Earl of Pingyang smiled faintly, “I’ve heard that the higher-ups at Batian Military have developed a special technique that allows students to cultivate their spiritual power based on their fighting spirit before they even reach the Mountain and Sea realms.”
"Mental power!"
The Jiangzhong military personnel were both amazed and suddenly realized what was happening.
No wonder Long Yi was so infuriating; it turns out there was also a mental provocation involved.
"However, I think the other party's concerns are not without merit."
The Earl of Pingyang suddenly changed the subject.
While everyone was puzzled, the Earl of Pingyang calmly said, "Our Jiangzhong Army has just been established and has already suffered such provocation. If we cannot retaliate, how can we claim the title of the number one army?"
"Do you have confidence?"
As he spoke, the Earl of Pingyang cast his deep gaze upon the crowd.
"have!"
Although they still didn't understand what the Earl of Pingyang was talking about, everyone subconsciously straightened their posture.
"That's good."
The Earl of Pingyang smiled faintly, took one last look at Shen Qian, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
What did the principal mean by that?
Yue Dakan couldn't help but ask.
"Have you forgotten what those bastards from Batian Military Martial Arts said?"
Cheng Qingqing had already guessed what was going on, and said with a half-smile, "Weren't they worried about not running into us? Now... they don't need to worry anymore."
Everyone was taken aback at first, but then they all realized what was happening, exchanged glances, and perked up.
Cheng Qingqing had already said all that, and the others weren't stupid. They naturally understood that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would definitely encounter the Overlord Army, and it was very likely to be their first battle!
Shen Qian was also surprised. In order to retaliate against the provocation of Batian Military, he did not expect that the Earl of Pingyang would disregard his status and even resort to "behind-the-scenes manipulation".
However, it must be said that directly defeating Batian Military Academy is indeed the fastest way to make Jiangzhong Military Academy famous and regain the honor of being the number one military academy.
I'm afraid the Earl of Pingyang wasn't entirely motivated by a desire to vent his anger.
Time passes.
More and more university teams entered the waiting area, and the Jiangzhong Military Team members began to get increasingly annoyed.
Because seven or eight out of the ten teams had to greet each other in various ways, whether it was direct provocation or politeness, but their aim was always to sink forward.
"Are these people crazy?"
Even Shangguan Ting, who had the gentlest temper, couldn't take it anymore. "Haven't Shen Qian already become 'useless' in their eyes? Why are they still targeting us!"
"Nothing surprising."
Although Zhao Keyi was also annoyed, he appeared very calm.
"Someone once left a monument on the mountaintop. Even if later generations think that the monument is nothing special, if they have never personally toppled it, it will still be an obstacle that you can never overcome."
That's exactly the point.
Geng Qianqiu and the others nodded in agreement, then, as if struck by a thought, they exchanged a knowing smile.
Weren't they the same back then?
Those who were the first to climb the mountain were also the first to discover that the summit was so high that it seemed impossible to even touch it in a lifetime.
"Has this kid actually broken through the Mountain and Sea Realm yet...?"
Ning Zhiyuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, couldn't help but glance at Shen Qian upon hearing this.
He had some suspicions, but he couldn't confirm them at the moment.
As for Chen Qian, he had already sprawled out on his seat, covered his face with his tactical helmet, looking like he didn't care about the sight or the trouble.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that golden light is faintly visible in Shen Qian's clenched palm, flashing at a certain frequency, which adds to the mystery.
"I didn't expect that there weren't many mental spells to choose from in the Hall of a Hundred Kings."
At this moment, Shen Qian had already immersed his consciousness into the Hundred Kings Hall, wanting to take advantage of the gap before the Nine Heavens Cup began to select a few suitable mental techniques.
Although Elder Gao provided timely assistance by sending Shen Qian the follow-up techniques of "Hun Yuan" and "Tai Gu," allowing Shen Qian's progress to return to a rapid pace.
However, there is still one problem that needs to be solved by Chen Qian himself.
In other words, the methods of using mental power are equivalent to "illusory martial arts techniques," or in professional terms, "magic arts."
Intimidation, reconnaissance, and imposing presence are merely basic applications of mental power, far from reaching the level of "techniques."
True magic should be like what Cheng Qingqing once demonstrated in class: with just a glance, a dozen students would line up to jump off a building, and she would remain calm.
Or, as described in the library's ancient texts, one can summon wind and rain and stir up trouble simply by possessing immense spiritual power.
Strictly speaking, spirit shamans who cultivate their luck and set up formations also belong to this path.
