Early spring of Anno 9622.

In a small town called Anping within the territory of the Tianhui Empire, a cruel test is being carried out. Two teenagers who didn't seem to be very old were discussing with each other under the orders of Instructor Feng of the Fighting Soul Academy Branch. This was no ordinary fight, they were all wearing blouses made of iron and real weapons in their hands.

One of the teenagers was slashing at the other teenager, but the attacked teenager could only retreat step by step, without the slightest chance to fight back, and it was such an attack that left seven or eight traces on the young man's ironclad shirt.

Suddenly, a strong voice sounded: "Stop, Han Feng is fighting like you in an unorganized manner, it can only be regarded as a child fight, if you go to the battlefield, you will be the first to die, you know."

Obviously, this is the young man named Han Feng that the instructor is reprimanding, if it is said that he will not survive with such an attack on the battlefield.

"Ma Xiaolong, why didn't you fight back, you were beaten like this, how did I teach you, I really hate iron and steel, both of you are not qualified. The instructor said angrily

"Instructor Feng, we know it's wrong. The two teenagers said with horror on their faces

"Well, you guys should return to the team first, the next group of Zhao Ke, Tang Ying. The instructor said indifferently

The two teenagers returned to their ranks, and two more stood facing each other in the middle of the square.

"Start," the instructor shouted

Zhao Ke and Tang Ying saluted each other and prepared their fighting postures. At this time, Tang Ying grabbed a two-foot-long sword and rushed towards Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke was not idle, it was also an equally long sword, rushing towards Tang Ying, just when the two sides collided and there was still a distance of one meter, Zhao Ke's body flashed slightly to the right, and then waved towards Tang Ying's body. It seemed that Tang Ying had already prepared, and directly took a few steps back, letting Zhao Ke's swing fall short.

Zhao Ke swung forward again, and Tang Ying directly blocked it with his sword. But Zhao Ke didn't give Tang Ying a chance at all, he directly kicked Tang Ying in the stomach, and directly kicked Tang Ying out, Tang Ying, who was lying on the ground, stood up quickly, and was stopped by the instructor when he was about to attack again.

Instructor Feng nodded slightly and said, "Tang Ying, you lost, Zhao Kesheng"

Tang Ying was just about to refute Instructor Feng, why did I lose, but he immediately suffocated back in his stomach, because he saw that Instructor Feng's face was extremely serious, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Eight more groups of personnel competed with each other, and the confrontation that followed made Instructor Feng very satisfied. But only Han Feng and Ma Xiaolong in the first group made Instructor Feng hate iron but not steel. But every time the test was Han Feng asked Instructor Feng to reprimand. And Ma Xiaolong is much better than Han Feng, because Ma Xiaolong can defend after all, and he can exert his strength without encountering an opponent like Han Feng.

The test had lasted for a long time, and the sky had darkened. It wasn't until it got dark that the ordeal ended. So everyone lined up and waited for Instructor Feng to say that the class was over.

After a few minutes, Instructor Feng looked at these students and said lightly: "Han Feng, you disappointed me very much, although you joined halfway, but your learning ability is too poor, I will give you a make-up class tomorrow, if this is the case, you don't want to study here, okay, let's get out of class"

Han Feng looked at Instructor Feng who was far away, and thought to himself with a little bit of unfeeling: "It's not that I have poor learning ability, it's just that I am good friends with Ma Xiaolong, and I can't let him be the penultimate one."

Of course, Ma Xiaolong also knows the whole story, after all, they have been together since they were very young, and for the sake of this bond, he would rather hide his own strength and be a very bad crane tail. Ma Xiaolong, who hadn't gone far, glanced back at Han Feng, and thought sullenly in his heart, "Han Feng, you are really my brother." Ma Xiaolong sighed and left.

Han Feng watched for a while, and he didn't go home until Instructor Feng's figure disappeared. When Han Feng returned home, he was about to make dinner, but he saw the food on the table, which turned out to be made for him by Han Feng's father. Because Han Feng cooks for his father every day, when Han Feng sees this table of food, he is very excited.

Han Feng's father looked at Han Feng who was eating outside the window, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then entered the house, walked to the dining table and made it, and Han Feng, who was watching, said: "Today is your twelfth birthday, so I will cook today." Han Feng's voice was very calm, wearing very simple clothes, his hair was slightly gray, his face was unkempt, and he looked like he was in his fifties.

Han Feng, who looked at his father, was a little excited, this was the first time he had eaten his father's cooking since he could remember, and it was also the first time he had a birthday, Han Feng had been a single parent since he was a child. His mother left him and his father when he was two years old, and he was gone for ten years. Every time Han Feng goes to the market and sees people of the same age accompanied by his mother, sometimes he feels that he is missing something in his heart, and his father doesn't care about himself, every day he goes out during the day and comes back at night.

In this way, he met his good friend Ma Xiaolong, who had known each other for about seven years and was his only friend. Later, Ma Xiaolong signed up for the Fighting Soul Academy, and for a while, Han Feng was alone again, watching Ma Xiaolong study at the Fighting Soul Academy, he felt very lonely. Because he had to be at least ten years old to enroll in the Fighting Soul Academy, he was only nine years old at the time.

A year later, he finally met the requirements and also signed up for the Fighting Soul Academy, and then he was with Ma Xiaolong again.

At this time, Han Feng had already shed his male tears excitedly. Han Feng's father said: "Manly man, blood without tears, what to cry about." ”。

After listening to his father's words, Han Feng held back tears of excitement and nodded slowly.

"This time I'm going to go on a long trip, I won't be able to come back for a long time, you have to study hard at the Fighting Soul Academy, and you have to take care of yourself." Han Feng's father sighed and said lightly.

Han Feng said excitedly, "Dad, where are you going?"

"You don't care about this, you'll know later, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Han Feng's father said lightly

Han Feng didn't ask anything, just kept staring at his father, because this time he felt that if he didn't take a good look at his father, his father was leaving. After a long time, Han Feng's father went to sleep first. Han Feng also came to his bed and slept.

Early the next morning, Han Feng's father left with a few clothes, and Han Feng, who was standing at the door, looked at his father who was far away, his eyes had become moist, and he shed tears again. After a while, I couldn't see my father's figure, and then I put away my sad state.

"Xiao Fengfeng, what's wrong with you?" Ma Xiaolong said with a grin

Han Feng saw Ma Xiaolong walking on the side, adjusted his mentality and said slowly: "No, it's nothing, it's so early today?"

"Yesterday, you were scolded by Instructor Feng for me, so I came early today and wanted to tell you something," Ma Xiaolong said resolutely

Han Feng was puzzled and said, "What's the matter?"

"Xiaofeng, you don't have to hide your abilities for me in the future, I don't want you to be trained for me. Ma Xiaolong said, and finally became excited

Han seemed to understand what Ma Xiaolong meant, and thought he nodded. Ma Xiaolong said slightly: "Xiaofeng will go to the academy to take classes."

Han Feng looked at Ma Xiaolong and nodded, and then looked at the road his father had gone on, and then followed Ma Xiaolong towards the academy.
