550 in the limelight
Li Xiang's arrival made everyone in the hall come over to say hello. No one dares to slack off on his status as a prince, even if he is a foreigner, he has to give some face. And Matthew was also an approachable prince before, and everyone was happy to contact him. Li Xiang also had no arrogance, and greeted everyone with a smile.
After saying hello, everyone continued to practice, but Li Xiang didn't end up, just sat by and watched. Everyone thought it was strange that Prince Matthew was very diligent in the past, why did he look lazy today? But no one will ask, even if Matthew is approachable, the gap in identity is there, and Matthew's temperament is not like ordinary people, not only will he not be favored, but he will be annoyed.
As the time gradually approached the class, the students in the class arrived one after another. When the class officially began, the teacher who taught the class walked in. Li Xiang and the other classmates all lined up and waited, and only after he stood still did they say hello in unison.
Li Xiang and their class, although almost all of them are princes and grandsons, but this teacher did not mean to be stunned at all, swept around with stern eyes, and when he saw Li Xiang, he also froze, which seemed to imply a deep meaning, and then said: "In this class, we are still practical skills." Now disperse, Matthew, Wharton, you two are out of the queue and do a live demonstration. ”
In the actual teaching, it is usually found that two students compete in the field, and in their competition, the teacher will explain the situation of the two people at any time to deepen the impression of the students. In the past, Matthew didn't play in class, but every time the opponent was a classmate with similar strength to him, even if he was stronger than him, it was only slightly stronger. Such an opponent can only have the effect of training when they fight, and it will not be too embarrassing. Then this time, the opponent that the teacher found for Li Xiang was the strongest master in the class, Wharton from the elf clan, which meant a lot of things!
Wharton is a male elf, although he is more than one hundred and twenty years old, but to the elf, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old for humans. Who makes the life span of the elves too long, they can generally live to be more than 800 years old, and the development period is naturally very long.
But the development period is long, it doesn't mean that the elf's time is wasted, at least Wharton is a very hard-working person, and it took him a full hundred and twenty years to make his fighting spirit reach level seven. However, he practiced archery before, and he only started to practice swords in the last ten years, but he has the strength of seventh-level fighting spirit, even if the time to practice swords is still short, with the advantages of strength, reaction, agility, etc., he can also get started quickly, and it is understandable that his strength is far above Matthew.
Seeing the teacher's arrangement, the other students were a little puzzled, although the teacher is an eighth-level sword master, and he has the academy as a backer, he can't take advantage of his position to be a prince, right? Does he not want to do it anymore or is he tired of being crooked?
Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one spoke, and Quan Dang didn't know anything, so he gave up the middle field. Li Xiang didn't care, Shi Shiran came to the field with his sword. Wharton frowned, glanced at the teacher, and looked a little dissatisfied. He's not someone else's gun, he can borrow it if he wants. Those who dare to do this must first think clearly about the consequences.
Wharton's identity is not simple, although he is not a prince, but his grandfather is also an elder of the elven clan, and his status is noble. And although he is learning swordsmanship here, it doesn't mean that his strength is low, he is only one level lower than the eighth level of the teacher. If he used the elven race's best archery technique, even if he was an eighth-level master, he would be sure to grind him to death with the tactics of flying a kite. Therefore, if he has any dissatisfaction in his heart, he will unceremoniously express it directly.
At this time, the teacher also realized that he seemed to have done something stupid, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only hold on, coughing and explaining: "In the past, our class demonstrations were all about picking classmates with similar strength. Although such an opponent is easier to promote the students' experience in swordsmanship, if you go out of the academy, you will not meet such an opponent. If you meet someone weaker than you, that's good, but once you meet someone stronger than you, what should you do? What should I do? That's what we're going to talk about in today's lesson. ”
Although the teacher's explanation is a bit far-fetched, it is barely reasonable. Wharton couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, but now that he was in class, the teacher was the biggest, so he had no choice but to walk out, stand opposite Li Xiang, and said, "Prince Matthew, be careful!" ”
Li Xiang also returned the salute and said, "Wharton, you have to be careful. I recently learned a set of swordsmanship to defeat the strong with the weak, so I just want your advice. ”
The two said no more, and each began to fight with a thin sword.
The so-called rapier is a sword with an elongated body, somewhat like the kind used in modern fencing, but a little stronger. This kind of sword is suitable for more fancy moves, more suitable for nobles to play handsome, and is two completely different ways to use two-handed broadswords commonly used on the battlefield. However, in the magic continent where battles are ubiquitous, although the rapier is fancy, it is not small if it is practiced well. Not as good as Wharton, the thin sword seemed to come alive in his hand, flickering like a poisonous snake, attacking Li Xiang's vital points all over his body.
If Matthew had been in the past, even if Wharton's men had shown mercy and would not have really hurt him, he would have been forced to be embarrassed. But now it's Li Xiang, and the situation is different. He used "Dugu Nine Swords" and "Tai Chi Swordsmanship", which seemed to be unfast, but he dissolved Wharton's fast sword invisibly.
Wharton only used fifty percent of his strength at first, and found that Li Xiang was really like what he said, his swordsmanship was strange but effective, making his round of onslaught completely useless. This also aroused his competitive spirit, and he finally became serious, and when he drew his sword again, his speed was fully doubled. But no matter how fast Wharton is, it is just good-looking in front of Li Xiang, and it has no power at all. Li Xiang just stood in place and swayed at will, making it difficult for Wharton to move forward.
This result made it difficult for Wharton to accept, and under his impatience, his swordsmanship became faster and faster, and he began to ignore whether he was injured or not, and frequently attacked the vital points. It's a pity that it's still useless, Li Xiang is still so careless. This made the other students also surprised, and they made eye contact with each other, when did Prince Matthew develop this ability? Has it been the last few days, or has it been hidden all along? If the latter is the case, then Prince Matthew's city is too deep, and he must be re-evaluated for the family's decision-making.
The most unbelievable thing is the teacher who caused the scene in front of him. His strength is very strong, and his vision is not bad, of course, it can be seen that Li Xiang is still a fourth-level fighting spirit. But a fourth-level is indistinguishable from a seventh-level fight, and there is a three-level difference in between! Often the difference between the first level and the lower level can be made by the senior level, and the gap between the third level is simply the distance between heaven and earth. But this realization was broken today, which made him completely dumbfounded, let alone guide his classmates.
Wharton had already used all his strength at this time, not only in terms of swordsmanship, but also in the seventh-level fighting spirit, but unfortunately there was still no way to take Li Xiang. And looking at Li Xiang's demeanor, he was still relaxed and not to speak, and he remained on the defensive from beginning to end, even if he used his sword, he was just forcing him to accept it. What would happen if Li Xiang started a counterattack? Wharton didn't believe that Li Xiang didn't have the ability to counterattack. It turned out that Li Xiang was just playing with him, and he wasn't serious at all!
This thought discouraged Wharton a little, and the reaction was in the swordsmanship, and the speed was not so fast. The teacher had calmed down by this time, and he also saw that Wharton had no hope of victory, so he said, "Stop, don't try again." ”
Wharton immediately retreated when he heard this, and Li Xiang also easily put away his sword, and then turned to face the teacher, waiting for him to judge. What can a teacher judge? He thought to himself that even if he ended up, he might not be able to help Li Xiang. To be able to do this level with a fourth-level fighting spirit, it is much stronger than him, and he also judges a fart.
After a pause, the teacher said, "Okay, you two should rest first." Zoe, Riggs, you two come out and demonstrate. ”
So that the teacher can't judge, Li Xiang is obviously in the limelight. Although the teacher asked others to go up and demonstrate, everyone was a little absent-minded, and the efficiency of this class can be imagined.
When it was time for the end of class, the teacher turned around and left without saying a word, and the classmates also dispersed, but looking at Li Xiang's eyes from a distance, they were all a little strange. Li Xiang didn't care, and turned to leave. But he didn't expect to walk a few steps before he heard someone calling him behind him. When I looked back, I saw that it was Wharton.
Because Wharton has the highest cultivation among his classmates, he has always been a little arrogant, and he doesn't have much friendship with other classmates. Now he was very polite, and said from afar: "Prince Matthew, I ...... I want to treat you to dinner, I don't know ......."
Li Xiang said with a smile: "Wharton, what can you say directly, please eat or something, it's not your style." ”
Wharton said with some embarrassment: "What His Royal Highness the Prince said is that I want to be bad." But let's find a place to sit down and say, this is not a good place. ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I remember that there is a cold drink shop that Miss Alice just opened nearby, let's go and sit there." ”
Wharton immediately nodded and said, "Miss Alice's cold drink shop is definitely a big initiative, I like it very much, it turns out that His Royal Highness also likes it, it's really good." ”
The two came to the cold drink shop, found a booth and sat down, and each asked for a favorite drink, and then Wharton said, "Your Highness, I have something to say." Today in class, I was extremely impressed with your swordsmanship. The reason why I came to study in the Terran place was because I was interested in swordsmanship. I originally thought that the Holy Empire Demon Martial Academy was already the highest level in the continent, but I didn't expect that there would be a master like you, Your Highness. Therefore, I want to learn swordsmanship from you, I wonder if Your Highness can teach me? ”
Li Xiang nodded and said: "I know that you have this idea as soon as I guess, and it is not impossible to learn from me, but you have also seen how powerful my swordsmanship is, it can be said that it is the best swordsmanship on the mainland, this kind of swordsmanship cannot be taught to you in vain, what price do you plan to pay?"
