Chapter 32: The Struggle for Hegemony

There has been no duel between students in Canglei Academy for many years, Tang Lang and Wan Bohong said that they wanted to duel in the ring, and even the ring administrator was shocked, and it took a long time to open the door of the martial arts arena.

When Tang Lang and Wan Bohong stood still in the ring, Lu Mingzhe, the lecturer in charge of the afternoon class, also rushed over when he heard the news: "Why do you two have to fight a duel, don't hurry up, don't make a fool of me!"

Wan Bohong didn't dare to be presumptuous to the lecturer, bowed slightly and said: "Lecturer Lu, in order to maintain the dignity of the spell, I must challenge Tang Lang, please do it!"

Lu Mingzhe didn't know the cause of the incident, and asked the students on the side who knew about the situation, although he felt that Wan Bohong was making a big fuss, but it was not easy to stop it rashly when the matter had come to this point, so he could only instruct: "You two point to the end, don't secretly heavy-handed!" After speaking, he also glanced at Tang Lang again.

Seeing that both of them were ready, the ring administrator loudly announced: "During the duel, if either side loses the enemy, immediately raise his hand to admit defeat, and the other side must stop immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of the law and will be severely punished!

Eager to win, Wan Bohong raised his hand to several fireballs, ready to buy himself time and prepare more powerful spells.

The fireball seemed to be fierce, but in the eyes of Tang Lang, who had undergone special training, it was like a turtle crawling, his body swayed left and right at will, like a willow leaf in the wind, and dodged through the gap between the fireballs, and even Lu Mingzhe didn't react, and he was already standing in front of his opponent.

Tang Lang said softly: "You are not my opponent, and I don't want to embarrass you, hurry up and admit defeat!"

Wan Bohong was frightened by Tang Lang's strange posture, and even the spell he was preparing stopped and muttered: "This is impossible!" The onlookers also looked at each other, and the competition in everyone's impression should be swords, swords, and shadows, spells flying all over the sky, how can it be so simple to end.

Wan Bohong shouted at the top of his voice: "Tang Lang, you are also a spell practitioner, how can you use martial arts to duel with me?

Tang Lang had already very much agreed with the concept of "practicality first" instilled by Ji Fengyu, and sneered: "Idiot, you! I am not only learning spells, but also practicing martial arts, and I don't even need to use martial arts to deal with guys like you who only know how to do tricks." ”

Tang Lang didn't want to entangle with the other party anymore, turned around and was about to jump off the ring and leave, who knew that Wan Bohong was annoyed and ashamed, and raised his hand at his back to see several fireballs, causing an exclamation from the audience.

Tang Lang seemed to have eyes behind him, his left foot was slammed on the edge of the ring, the whole person took a few steps to the right, turned the direction with his right leg as the axis, and took out the butterfly knife from his waist with his right hand, picked up a piece of knife light, and slashed at the opponent's eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Mingzhe rushed to the ring with a brisk stride, wanting to check the injury, but Wan Bohong covered his eyes tightly with both hands, and couldn't see clearly for a while, so he got up and asked: "Tang Lang, even if there is anything wrong with Wan Bohong, you can't do this!"

Tang Lang asked rhetorically: "From beginning to end, he has repeatedly made things difficult, everyone can see it clearly just now, I have let him go and is about to leave, but he made a sneak attack, if I didn't dodge in time just now, the person who is lying on the ground and seriously injured is me, but it is just a slight punishment!"

Lu Mingzhe frowned, and said with a disgusted expression: "Even if he is at fault first, everyone is a classmate, how can you hurt his eyes and ruin his life, and say that he is only a little punished, and his heart is too vicious!

Tang Lang laughed at himself: "Why does every lecturer want to expel me?" Lecturer Lu, I just shaved off his eyebrows, where is there a piercing of his eyes, you better see clearly and then make a conclusion!"

Lu Mingzhe forcefully removed Wan Bohong's hands, only to find that his eyes were intact, but the two eyebrows had become smooth, which caused the surrounding students to laugh, Lu Mingzhe suddenly felt that his face was hot, and he scolded angrily: "Useless thing! Hurry up and get out of me!"

With such an episode, there was a lot of discussion everywhere in the academy all afternoon, and in a small house, Ji Fengyu was also discussing this matter with an old man.

"Teacher, Tang Lang has been making rapid progress recently, he really deserves to be the person you value!" Ji Fengyu said respectfully to the old man.

"What is important! Before, he was mediocre in talent and couldn't learn anything, but in fact, how good it was, he could spend his life in peace, and now he suddenly opened his mind, and he had to bear the burden on his shoulders in the future, and he didn't know how much suffering he had to bear, hey......"

"Teacher, I don't think this kid is the kind of person who is willing to be mediocre, so it's better to really learn some skills. You see that he caused some trouble just now, and he needs to adjust some content in the special training in the past few days, otherwise his tail will not go up to the sky!"

"I'm afraid that the simple special training will not be able to catch up with the academy competition that is about to start, since it has begun, let him suffer more, so that he can grow faster, you arrange for him to ......" The old man whispered a few times in Ji Fengyu's ear.

"No, isn't it a little too rushed, if something happens, he's your ......"

The old man interrupted Ji Fengyu, shook his head and said: "You go with him, protect in secret, don't show up as long as it doesn't endanger your life, don't experience wind and rain now, I'm afraid that he will be more frustrated in the future!"

"Teacher, isn't it, he has to accompany me to special training, it's so hard!" Ji Fengyu couldn't help but cry bitterly when he heard it.

"You don't want to go?" the old man snorted coldly.

Ji Fengyu immediately calmed down: "Teacher, don't, I'll ...... it"

In the afternoon class, there were always students who turned their heads to look at Tang Lang from time to time, even the lecturer Lu Mingzhe had strange eyes, Tang Lang could only pretend to be casual on the surface, and finally in the evening, he hurried to Ji Fengyu's residence to prepare for a new special training task.

Pushing open the door of the tutor's room, Tang Lang saw at a glance that the other party was sitting at the table, staring at a glass of wine in a daze.

"Mentor, don't worry! If the wine is finished, I'll go to Minghai Restaurant tonight to get you a few jars back, it's as easy as a snap!"

"!" Ji Fengyu jumped up and wanted to make a shudder at Tang Lang, but the special training in the past few days had already made him form a habit, and he easily avoided it as soon as he twisted his body, which added fuel to the fire of the mentor.

"It's really a long skill! In the afternoon, when you compete with people in a duel, do you already feel that you are invincible in the world, and you dare to avoid even if I teach you a lesson?"

Tang Lang thought that his mentor thought that he was too flamboyant in the afternoon competition, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not that I did it on purpose, it's that Wan Bohong who wants to duel with me, and I don't agree to ......."

Ji Fengyu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Speaking of this, I'm even more angry! How did I teach you, what are the benefits of being aggressive with others? What is the difficulty of admitting mistakes to others? Do you think it's great to defeat a student in the academy?"

Tang Lang didn't know why his mentor was so angry about this, and he was secretly resentful in his heart, but he didn't say much, just bowed his head and said nothing.

Ji Fengyu changed his words, sighed and said: "I always said that the big thing that I asked you to do after half a year was actually the competition between the major academies within our Tianqing Kingdom. If you can get a good performance, this event is extremely important for your future development. ”

Tang Lang was greatly interested in what he said, and hurriedly asked: "Why have you never heard anyone talk about it?" ”

"You were just a student with mediocre grades before, so naturally no one would mention it to you! This academy battle is a century-old tradition between the major academies of the entire Tianqing Kingdom, which was originally just to promote exchanges between academies, and now it has evolved into a contest between outstanding students, so as to show the strength of the academy. ”

Ji Fengyu's explanation made Tang Lang's blood boil, and even his eyes became eager when he thought of being able to give it a go with so many talented students.

"But you need to know even more that Canglei Academy is just one of the three major academies in Changping Prefecture, and Changping Prefecture is just a relatively marginal area among the six state capitals of the Tianqing Kingdom, and compared with the capital Jiangyun Prefecture, the strength is not half a star. Even Pei Feiyi, who is highly regarded in the academy, looking at the entire kingdom, is only a middle-class asset. ”

Ji Fengyu saw Tang Lang's brows frowning slightly, as if he didn't agree with what he said, and continued: "As for you, although you are not slow to enter the country, after all, the time is short, if there is another year and a half, it is estimated that it will be a little interesting." Now, it's not enough!"

Tang Lang saw Ji Fengyu shaking his head and regretting it, his mind was hot, and he blurted out: "Mentor, I must participate in this competition! I can suffer any hardship, isn't there still a few months left, you can train me more strictly!"

Ji Fengyu laughed wildly in his heart: "I knew that your kid would definitely take the bait!" but deliberately pretended to be embarrassed: "What I can teach you is almost the same, and the rest depends on your own understanding." But it's going to take a long time, and it's definitely too late to participate in the tournament, unless ......"

Tang Lang and Ji Fengyu have been together for so long, knowing that the mentor's temperament will not be untargeted, he must have made arrangements for a long time, but now he is just deliberately hanging his appetite: "Mentor, just say it! How did you arrange it?"

"Okay, but state in advance, the next special training will be extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger, and it is still too late for you to regret it!" Ji Fengyu's eyes flashed with a fine light.

Tang Lang realized that he had fallen into the trap designed by his mentor, but this competition was indeed something he was very interested in, so he could only say helplessly: "Mentor, don't pinch me! If I say I don't want to do it now, can you let me go?"
