Chapter 17: The Dean's Surprise
Bac Ninh Honghu Martial Arts Academy is one of the five major martial arts institutes supported by the state in Bac Ninh Province. Wu Pengfei, the dean of Honghu Martial Arts Academy, is the only one among the five martial arts academies who has risen from a humble family to the president of the martial arts academy by personal struggle. But thirty years have passed since the peak of his life. Now, he is the only dean of the five institutes who is at risk of being dismissed.
It's not that he's corrupt or incompetent. Purely because of his humble background, the resources he can get for the Honghu Martial Academy are extremely limited. He will never tolerate any martial arts family having privileges in the Honghu Martial Academy, and after the children of the martial arts family graduate, they will not have any nostalgia or donation to their alma mater. The son of a poor family, limited by resources, is difficult to give back to his alma mater in a short period of time after graduation.
In Honghu Academy, the quality of teachers is also a big problem, because of the lack of funds, excellent teachers will not consider it. Those who can gather around him are often the poor children he once taught, some of whom have limited talents and resources, and have limited achievements. Some of them ended their dreams of promotion ahead of schedule because of injuries. Only a small part of them came purely for the dream of future martial arts. And many of these people are also faculty members in the liberal arts and sciences.
Under pressure, Wu Pengfei had to pull down his face and deal with wealthy families, trying to recruit some talented children of wealthy families to enter Honghu Martial Arts Academy, raise the level of students, and improve the success rate of graduates. The Rong family was the first family he dealt with, because the Rong family gave the impression that it was at least much more approachable than other wealthy families.
When Roewe gave Rong Henghao's information to Wu Pengfei, his face was silent, and his stomach was about to explode. It's pie from the sky, and it's oversized. This is Rong Henghao! The pride of heaven that the four major courtyards of the imperial capital want to rob are already in the middle of the first order before he enters high school, can you believe it? Wu Pengfei himself is also a top genius, but he barely broke through to the first order in the second year of high school. In his time, it was an achievement to beat gongs and drums and parade through the streets for three days.
"This ...... Although Rong Henghao is a genius of the Rong family, when he arrives at the Honghu Martial Arts School, he still has to follow the procedure, and the resources he should have will not be less, but the privilege ......" Wu Pengfei carefully chose his words. The system he built was unwilling to be shaken for the sake of a peerless genius, although it was very tempting.
"I understand, believe me, Dean, our Rong family doesn't have to take advantage of that. Roewe said lightly.
"Then leave this matter to me, and I will take care of everything and complete all the procedures as soon as possible. Wu Pengfei was overjoyed. It's like eating a pie for nothing.
"That...... I still have a little bit to ask for......," Roewe said quickly.
"Demand, okay, let's talk about it. Wu Pengfei took a deep breath, and sure enough, there was no lunch for nothing.
"This person, can the dean follow the same procedure to help him enroll? Roewe took out another person's information.
"Well, I'll see. Wu Pengfei opened the information folder with a nervous mood, and it was Hua Shang's personal resume: Hua Shang, male, a junior high school student at Datong No. 4 Middle School, self-taught kendo, a beginner sword warrior, and a kendo champion in the Datong City Youth Championship......
"Gone?" Wu Peng glanced at after flying and asked blankly.
"This kendo competition, Heng Hao also participated. Roewe added.
"He won Rong Henghao!?" Wu Pengfei stood up in shock.
"No, when Heng Hao was competing with him, he suddenly broke through and withdrew from the game...... Roewe hurriedly explained.
"Then this champion will ......," Wu Pengfei pouted. Huashang's resume is too ordinary, although it is said that the champion of the city championship is good, but the water is too big, just such a result, if you want to be selected as one of the five major compounds of the Bac Ninh Special Economic Zone, it is still far away.
"Dean, listen to me. Heng Hao was trapped at the breakthrough threshold for three years, just because he didn't meet an opponent who could put mental pressure on him. But Hua Shang did it, and his swordsmanship ......," Roewe explained.
"Is there a video?" Wu Pengfei interrupted Roewe.
"This ......" Roewe himself did not record it.
"I'm very sorry, Honghu Martial Arts Academy has strict restrictions on talent admission, and I can't just rely on verbal recommendations, I have to see his true strength before making a decision. Wu Pengfei also regretted that he really couldn't directly recruit a waste wood because of Roewe's words. The competition in the martial arts school is extremely cruel, and the pressure on a waste wood in the martial arts school is unimaginable, and the suicide rate is very high. He had to think about the student's future and his life.
Roewe closed his mouth, and he had a good impression of Wu Pengfei in his heart. He really rarely saw such a principled person. Such a dean would be at risk of dismissal, this is the reality.
"If you don't see the real person. I saw his swordsmanship with my own eyes. Wu Pengfei thought about it again and again and said decisively. They are now in Datong City, and it is easy to go directly to see Huashang's swordsmanship. This is Rong Henghao! He doesn't want to miss out on his talents.
"Let's go!" Roewe doesn't talk nonsense. According to what Hua Shang did for the Rong family, it was nothing for him to spend some time for this kid.
The two of them traveled through countless blocks at the speed of a warrior, and on the premise of not attracting attention, they instantly flew to the vicinity of the Jindi Community in Datong City, where Hua Shang lived. According to the address on the information, the two came to the tube building where Hua Shang lived, and went upstairs and knocked on the door of Hua's house.
No one, Hua Baogang and Zhu Yinghua both went to work, and Hua Sha also went to school.
"I should be at home today, and the high school entrance examination will be tomorrow, so don't you review at home?" Wu Pengfei said in deep thought.
"No, he was beaten enough yesterday that if he didn't make a basic recovery, he would die of pain every day. You should be practicing martial arts nearby. Roewe guessed.
The two of them went downstairs with a lot of thoughts, and looked around the community, and there was no place to practice martial arts. Huashang's family background is undoubtedly revealed here. The most remote neighborhood, the cheapest homes, the most rudimentary facilities. No wonder in the information, he didn't even attend the most basic martial arts class. There simply cannot be such economic conditions.
In this way, this kid does have better talents than others. However, Wu Pengfei thought of a big problem.
"His spiritual roots are unstable!" Wu Pengfei looked at Rong Wei with sharp eyes. Like Liu Xiangsheng, he discovered the key. Hua Shang's swordsmanship may be very powerful, but his spiritual root has not been cultivated since childhood, or at all. The spiritual root is unstable, and the direct consequence is that the human body's ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not strong, and the internal force is not strong. If the internal force is not strong, the promotion will be slow. It takes one effort for others to ascend, and he needs ten.
No matter how strong his swordsmanship is, it can't make a qualitative change in his strength. Because the internal forces can't keep up. How many poor geniuses have been mediocre all their lives because of such a bottleneck. He even committed suicide out of despair.
"......" Roewe fell silent. He had thought about it. Indeed, this can be solved. But it has to be costly. He is still assessing whether it is worth it.
"The instability of the spiritual root is the most terrible bottleneck for a martial artist. Unless resources are spent......" Wu Pengfei looked at Rong Wei, "Is this the original intention of the Rong family?
"This ...... We can coordinate, and the Rong family's donation of this resource can also be ......," Roewe said thoughtfully.
"But is it worth it?" Wu Pengfei asked.
"After reading it, I need to look at it again......" Roewe was helpless. He really wanted to help Hua Shang, but the Rong family's resources were in the hands of the Rong family's head, and he had to convince the head of the family with enough reasons. He doesn't have that confidence yet.
There was a commotion in the streets. The cries of the old man and the old lady came from afar.
"Where, where?"
"That warrior green space next to the park!
"Is it really so godly?"
"It's beyond your imagination! If you don't talk about other kendo champions, let's go and feast your eyes. ”
"Hey, eldest nephew, where is your Mulan car, drive out and take me for a ride, hurry up!"
"I don't believe it! Is this still a quasi-martial artist? I want to see it!"
Men and women, young and old, who were exercising in the early morning, rushed to tell each other, converging into a grand flow of people, pouring into the distance.
"Kendo champion?" Wu Pengfei and Rong Wei glanced at each other, and they both subconsciously accelerated under their feet, and followed the flow of people towards the legendary warrior green land.
As soon as they arrived at the park next to the green space, the two of them saw the sword light rising into the sky at a glance.
"Flying Sword?!" Wu Pengfei and Rong Wei were stunned. Flying swords are not something that a quasi-martial artist can use. Flying sword refers to flying with a sword. This is a sign of using psychic power to manipulate Equipment. Only fourth-order martial artists with a spiritual power of more than 1,000 Hz can have a spiritual connection with the equipment and control the equipment to fly. This is a huge leap from an ordinary martial artist to a super martial artist.
A second-order martial artist can stimulate an unformed Gang Qi, and a third-order martial artist can stimulate a formed Gang Qi, which is the premise of Edgeworth's flight. Fourth-order martial artists are different from first-order martial artists, they will establish a spiritual link with their own equipment, resonate with their own spiritual power through the equipment, absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to catalyze the gradual change of the body structure, and the spiritual totem forms an external image, which is combined with the equipment to have a manipulative power on the equipment. This is the only way to form a flying sword.
There are actually fourth-order martial artists here?! Several fourth-order sword martial artists in Datong City are famous. Tenglong Martial Arts Pavilion Qin Jianxian is one. Liu Xiangsheng, president of the Datong Martial Arts Association, is one. But people are famous, who would come here to play flying swords, idle?
Wu Pengfei and Roewe separated the crowd and squeezed into the inner circle, and they found that the person playing with the flying sword turned out to be a familiar face: Hua Shang!
Huashang's sword actually flew away from his hand, circling back and forth, turning as expected, like a flying butterfly, under the manipulation of his hand, the sky was covered with a dripping sword curtain, which was beautiful and wonderful!
Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law? A beginner sword warrior, playing flying swords! Why don't you go to heaven!
Roewe and Wu Pengfei felt their jaws collapse at the same time, their cheeks ached, their eyes arched straight forward, and they were about to have a 360-degree perspective. This is a sword technique that is beyond the rules of martial arts!
