Jiang Yan looked at Bai Peng, "In the entire Mysterious Black Rose, only your individual level has reached superiority, but as the president of Mysterious Black Rose, you are severely incompetent. If the Mysterious Canon Law School doesn’t change, it will be removed from the top five canon law schools. This poor rating should serve as a wake-up call for you."
"Ahem, Instructor Jiang, you also know that our canon law school excels at Hex-Tech."
"That’s not my concern," Jiang Yan said indifferently, giving no concessions.
Only then did everyone realize the situation wasn’t good. Damn, this guy is serious, the young people couldn’t take it anymore, and the Martial Arts Hall imdiately erupted into chaos.
"Why give us a bad review? We’ve all mastered empowering!"
"That’s right, everyone’s empowering skills are quite good, and with practice, we’re sure to improve further!"
"What’s considered good? It’s not possible for everyone to be at Brother Peng’s level, otherwise, we could all be the president. We don’t accept this; Instructor, you’re deliberately suppressing our Mysterious Canon Law School!"
"Divine Revelation is Divine Revelation; we’re not Divine Revelation, so how can we be held to Divine Revelation’s standards!"
Li Xin tugged at Lu Shuai, "Is this bad review serious?"
"Serious, definitely serious. Every year-end, the canon law schools assess the levels, which affects the school’s ratings, and after accumulating five years, there’s a chance of upgrading or downgrading. One bad review makes a year’s efforts in vain." Lu Shuai also had a grim expression; he could tolerate not being in Divine Revelation, but if Mysterious gets downgraded, they’d have no foundation left, "Brother Li, you have to step in; we can’t take this bad review."
"Instructor Jiang, you also know our school is known for its Hex-Tech and academic atmosphere; you’re putting in a difficult position." Bai Peng couldn’t help but speak, although he wasn’t losing his temper, even a skilled housewife cannot cook without rice, and most Martial Arts Knights don’t enter Mysterious.
Jiang Yan glanced at Bai Peng, casually picked up a training longsword, infused Spiritual Ability, and completed the empowering in about three seconds.
"The other three canon law schools have over ninety percent of their mbers who can stabilize the empowering within five seconds; you are less than fifty percent," Jiang Yan said coldly, "Divine Revelation is one hundred percent."
With a following strike, "In terms of those able to stably release sword aura, the other canon law schools have fifty percent, Divine Revelation has ninety percent, you have about twenty percent."
With another swift strike, from empowering to releasing sword aura, it was done in one seamless motion, and the sword target exploded, "Among those who mastered powerful sword aura, Divine Revelation is thirty percent, other canon law schools ten percent, and you have just a few; I won’t even start on the top experts. If this were to qualify you, wouldn’t it be unfair to the other canon law schools? You’re too lacking, neither having an average level nor standout performances!"
The Martial Arts Hall fell silent, and everyone’s expressions were sowhat unpleasant; without comparison, there would be no harm, they hadn’t realized that the empowering step had already widened the gap.
"Brother Li, can’t wait any longer!" Lu Shuai pushed Li Xin.
"Instructor Jiang, I’d like to try." Li Xin stepped out.
The trainees in the Martial Arts Hall all looked at Li Xin, so unfamiliar, unrecognizable; who is this person, making a show at this mont might likely backfire.
Indeed, Jiang Yan glared, but rembering his identity, he restrained his temper and nodded, "You didn’t bring a weapon, use this one!"
He tossed the sword in his hand towards Li Xin, with a bit of spin added, making the longsword whirl like a gyroscope towards Li Xin. Li Xin casually caught it, without pause, directly making a swipe at the sword target, swoosh...
Smack! Smack!
The sword target emitted a crisp sound.
The entire set of motions took less than a second. People looked at Li Xin, then at the sword target. It was fast, but the power seed lacking.
?
The sword target didn’t explode but neatly split into three segnts, with a small section on the ground revealing a smooth cut.
The entire scene was silent, at a loss on how to judge it, unsure if it was good or bad, but the crowd of Black Rose mbers were wide-eyed in disbelief at what they just saw.
Jiang Yan’s pupils contracted intensely, fixating on Li Xin.
"Who are you?"
"Instructor Jiang, Mysterious Canon Law School, Li Xin."
Bai Peng stared at the split sword target, mories flooding back like tides; no wonder he felt familiar, but couldn’t recall. It was because he didn’t want to rember those mories; Li Xin gradually overlapped with another figure in his mories.
Bai Peng shivered visibly.
"Mysterious Canon Law School, qualified." Jiang Yan’s voice sounded muffled, the montum seemingly diminished, "Continue your training, others should hurry up."
"Thank you, Instructor Jiang." Li Xin bowed.
Jiang Wu remained silent, seated aside, others feeling curious about how one person’s actions sufficed; seemingly the instructor was just looking for an exit.
Bai Peng and others approached Li Xin, though this ti Bai Peng didn’t have his usual sweeping steps.
"Haha, Brother Li, I knew you could do it, that strike was amazing!" Lu Shuai hugged Li Xin, effective in Celestial Capital, just as effective in Dragon Capital.
Sulter looked at Li Xin, then at Bai Peng’s serious expression, "Impressive, using soone else’s weapon, less than a second from empowering to releasing, seamless, with mastery over sword aura, controlling the cutting attribute and converging Spiritual Ability, not considering ability strength, just by technique, in all of Dragon Capital, only a handful could manage this."
"Who are you, how did you co to Mysterious?" Zhuo Yan was also curious, not paying attention earlier in the day.
"Vice President Sulter, Vice President Zhuo Yan, Li Xin, my good brother from Celestial Capital, recently recruited!" Lu Shuai boasted, "Brother Peng, wasn’t I right? My brother is super formidable!"
Bai Peng stared at Li Xin, shaking his head with a bitter smile, "Not one strike, it was two; I should step down for the worthy."
Two strikes?
Everyone looked puzzled, while Jiang Yan at a distance remained thinking; such an effortless swordsmanship, even he would find it challenging, not that he can’t defeat Li Xin, but already lost on an equal technical mastery level, having reached the realm of sword intent.
The path of swordsmanship disregards status and age, recognizing only those accomplished; with such artistry in swordplay, naturally he couldn’t continue lecturing.
Li Xin noticed Bai Peng’s expression and understood his actions might have seed like stealing the lilight, "Brother Peng, apologies, I heard from Lu Shuai that a bad review would severely affect our canon law school."
Upon hearing Brother Peng, Bai Peng suddenly reacted with surprise, hurriedly waving his hand, "No, it’s a misunderstanding, just call Peng; I’m just Peng, you don’t rember?"
Peng? Li Xin earnestly looked at Bai Peng,...no recollection.
But given so many people are watching, Li Xin pretended to have a sudden realization, "Oh, I rember now."
"Brother Li, I told you you looked familiar, indeed it’s been a long ti; how did you co to our Mysterious, it really is you, you didn’t go to Divine Revelation!" Bai Peng’s face flushed, only now realizing, those days at Secret Castle with Avogadro at Mysterious, "That’s wonderful."
In Dragon Capital, mbers of Secret Castle Association are fiercely contested by every canon law school, with Divine Revelation Canon Law School having the most, hence its unshakable strength.
Li Xin smiled wryly, Divine Revelation didn’t want him.
