Chapter 4-for-tat
Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes, Dean." Just finished reading your Introduction to Rune Composition and Algorithms. I'm reading Professor Hua Ziyu's "Detailed Explanation of Rune Combination Application Volume 1". ”
Liu Zhongwen nodded and said: "My version of "Introduction to Rune Combinations and Introduction to Algorithms" is a compulsory course in the first year of college, and Professor Hua's "Detailed Explanation of Rune Combination Applications" will only be learned in the third year, do you find it difficult to learn now?"
Wang Xiaotian thought about it and nodded. He is not deliberately modest, but he has a lot of knowledge, which he really did not fully grasp, and it is difficult to learn. The main reason is that the content in the textbook is very abstract and difficult to understand in a thinking way, and it is necessary to deepen the impression through experimentation.
Originally, he could have deepened the impression of the rune array through the laboratory of the Tower of Babel and the basic version of the rune array simulator. However, for unknown reasons, the Tower of Babel has been under construction and cannot be used at all. Therefore, up to now, his research on rune arrays is still on paper.
Liu Zhongwen said with a smile: "Learning the rune array needs to be based on actual training. Now there is an important opportunity to practice, would you like to participate?"
Wang Xiaotian has always thought that Furong College is the premier institution of higher learning in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and as the dean of the college, he should be an academic champion who is not smiling and full of words.
If it weren't for Lu Yusheng, who told him something on the road just now, about Canaan Federal College, coming to visit (smashing the field), Dean Liu Zhongwen said this, Wang Xiaotian would definitely be grateful to Dade and immediately agreed.
The problem is that he already knew the truth about the Academy of the Canaan Federation coming to visit the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and Dean Liu Zhongwen asked him like this again, which was simply an insult to his IQ.
Wang Xiaotian decided not to give face to Dean Liu Zhongwen. He shook his head like a rattle, and said: "I think my level is still too poor, and when I officially enter the school, I have a firm grasp of the knowledge of the rune array, and it is not too late to practice." ”
Liu Zhongwen was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Xiaotian to answer like this. He looked at Lu Yusheng. Lu Yusheng hurriedly shook his head again and again, meaning that he didn't know what was going on with Wang Xiaotian's answer.
After all, Liu Zhongwen has been through ups and downs for a long time. He thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't have the knowledge of runes yet, it's better not to participate for the time being." How long have you been in the undergraduate library?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "It's been almost three months. ”
Liu Zhongwen nodded and said, "It's only been three months? The knowledge of the rune array is all-encompassing and extremely complex. Some people spend their lives and dare not say that they have studied thoroughly. You only learn such profound knowledge for three months, which is really too little time. ”
"Although this practical opportunity is rare, it must not be wasted. Since you feel that you are not sure, it is better to continue to study hard. As for this practical opportunity, I asked Professor Hua to select outstanding students from among the undergraduate and graduate students to participate. ”
After all, young people have a stubborn personality, a fiery temper, and refuse to admit defeat. When Wang Xiaotian heard Liu Zhongwen say that he couldn't do it, he immediately became anxious and said, "Dean, I said that my level is poor, but I am just habitually modest. If you think anyone is better than me, of course, not including the professors, but only the students of our college, such as undergraduate and graduate students. You can let him come out and compete with me. ”
Liu Zhongwen pondered for a moment very seriously, and said, "The delegation of the Canaan Federation Holy City Academy only arrived in October, and now there are still five months until October, and in September, you can be officially admitted as a student of the academy. ”
"In this way, it makes sense that you are scheduled to participate and welcome the representative team of Canaan Federal Academy. But can you really be the best of all the students, as you just said?
”
As soon as Liu Zhongwen said this, Wang Xiaotian suddenly had a sense of déjà vu that someone else was holding a rope and saying to him, "Didn't you say that you were powerful?
He had just regretted his impulsiveness. Hearing Liu Zhongwen ask, his head immediately shook his head and said, "I don't dare to promise you." If you have other ideas, please feel free to do so. ”
Liu Zhongwen was old and refined, and immediately understood Wang Xiaotian's words, and said with a smile: "Don't play tricks, you kid. I heard it very clearly just now, and you said that you were the best. If you don't believe, I have witnesses. Yu Sheng. Do you say?"
Lu Yusheng nodded again and again and said, "That's right, that's right." Wang Xiaotian just said that he is the best among the students of our college. ”
In the face of this out-of-context witness, Wang Xiaotian hated it so much, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and promise Liu Zhongwen that at the beginning of the new semester in the second half of the year, he would represent Furong College to welcome the "friendly" delegation of the Canaan Federation.
Wang Xiaotian left Liu Zhongwen's office and prepared to go home. Lu Yusheng chased after him quickly from behind and said, "Why are you walking so fast?"
Wang Xiaotian suddenly stopped, looked at Lu Yusheng, and said, "I remember, you just said that the sixth-level Force Master can't participate in the competition, why did Dean Liu let me participate?"
Lu Yusheng immediately shook his head and said, "You remember wrong." I didn't say that Level 6 Force Masters can't participate in the competition. I'm just saying that a young Level 6 Force Master like you is rare and not universal. ”
"So?"
"So, if you have one, as long as you are a student, even if you are a graduate student, you can participate in the competition. ”
Wang Xiaotian felt that he had been misled by Lu Yusheng. Intentionally or unintentionally, he first revealed an implicit message to himself, "The sixth-level Force Master cannot participate in the competition of Canaan Academy's friendly visit."
Based on this implicit information, you can draw a false conclusion. Then, Dean Liu Zhongwen suddenly cut into the competition by learning the rune array, and agreed as soon as his mind was hot.
At this point, it is useless to regret it. Wang Xiaotian continued to ask: "Just now you said that there will be three games, the first one is more basic?"
Lu Yusheng nodded, "That's right." ”
Wang Xiaotian said: "You also saw it just now, Dean Liu asked me to participate in the competition. Are you going to let me participate in the first basic game?"
Lu Yusheng looked at Wang Xiaotian with disdain and said, "You are a sixth-level master, and you will compete with a fourth-level Force cultivator, do you still want to make a face?"
Wang Xiaotian said angrily: "Isn't this what Dean Liu asked me to attend?"
Lu Yusheng said angrily: "What the dean asked you to participate in is a rune competition, not a basic competition!"
Wang Xiaotian's face was suddenly full of shame, and he said, "It turns out that it's not the same thing." Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Lu Yusheng said: "You didn't ask." ”
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Then tell me well, which three competitions are they?"
Lu Yusheng said: "I'm in a bad mood. Don't want to talk. ”
Wang Xiaotian was speechless. He suddenly turned around, quickened his pace and walked forward, muttering to himself as he walked, "I suddenly remembered that my family was still waiting for me to eat." ”
Lu Yusheng took a few steps to catch up and asked, "Why didn't you ask?"
Wang Xiaotian said as he walked: "The delegation of the Canaan Federation only came in October, so there is no hurry, there is time. ”
Lu Yusheng stopped, stretched out his hand to Wang Xiaotian and shouted, "You wait a minute, I'll tell you now." ”
As he spoke, a ring on his right index finger emitted a ray of light and shone on Wang Xiaotian's body. This is Lu Yusheng's secret equipment, called "restraint", which can control the target
Live. Last year, he used this equipment to make Wang Xiaotian only walk in the air, but he couldn't move forward.
The glow on Wang Xiaotian's body flashed suddenly, scattering the light emitted by the ring, and then as if nothing had happened, he didn't look back, and said, "No." I hurried home to eat, otherwise the food would be cold. Let's talk about it next week when I get to work. ”
Lu Yusheng didn't expect that he would miss so simply, he was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Xiaotian's back, shook his head helplessly, found himself under the steps, and said: "This kid is really cautious, and he is angry when he jokes." ”
Wang Xiaotian heard Lu Yusheng's self-talk. This time, he was deliberately cutting Lu Yusheng's face. The Force is a teacher, and naturally has the pride of the Force as a teacher, and wants to treat him like before, hum. This time, it was only a shock and did not fight back. Next time, he will directly destroy Lu Yusheng's secret equipment!
In fact, Wang Xiaotian can understand Lu Yusheng's mood. Looking at cultivators who are younger than themselves but have a higher level than themselves, anyone will feel a little unhappy or even jealous in their hearts. When he faced Cheng Yunshi, he was also in this mood.
But unhappiness is not happy, jealousy is jealousy. Acknowledging the gap and catching up is the way to go. It's useless to make small moves and make small emotions.
Now that Wang Xiaotian has been promoted to the sixth level of the Force Master, he feels very excited, maybe because he has caught up with Cheng Yunshi.
Wang Xiaotian returned to Zhou Ziheng's courtyard and saw Cao Lianyou holding the huge and exaggerated broad sword, practicing with Wang Nana. The long sword in Wang Nana's hand is also much wider than an ordinary long sword. But the contrast between the two swords is still very strong.
Recently, Cao Lianyou's size has grown very quickly, and he has become a lot stronger, and his enthusiasm for sword training has become even higher.
In the past, she always pestered Wang Xiaotian to accompany her to practice swords, and if Wang Xiaotian was not there, she would pester Wu Ling'er. Now with Wang Nana, Wang Xiaotian and Wu Ling'er are free.
Wang Nana's body shape has never changed, she looks only eleven or twelve years old, about 1.3 meters, and I don't know if she will grow up in the future. She has a strong ability to learn (imitate?), and she will soon be able to learn the swordsmanship that Cao Lianyou gave her. Therefore, now Cao Lianyou and Wang Nana have become partners in sword practice.
However, Wang Nana didn't have the Force, so the two of them could only practice moves, and Cao Lianyou couldn't go all out.
Wang Xiaotian didn't disturb them, and stood aside to watch them practice their swords. The black dog and the little iron-armed demon ape saw Wang Xiaotian coming in and ran over. The little iron-armed demon ape climbed directly onto Wang Xiaotian's shoulder and squatted. The black dog wagged its tail vigorously and circled around Wang Xiaotian's legs.
Wang Xiaotian put the lotus leaf bag in his hand on the stone table on the side, squatted down, and stroked the black dog with one hand and the little iron-armed demon ape with the other.
The black dog is more muscular, with shiny fur, longer, thicker and sharper claws and canine teeth, and more and more of a strange beast.
The little iron-armed demon ape was already a fourth-level beast, and it was much larger. Wang Xiaotian's shoulders could barely squat on it. And its figure is getting thicker and thicker, and it no longer has a little bit of the slenderness and slenderness it was when it was a child.
Wang Xiaotian stroked a dog and an ape while continuing to watch the two practice swords. The swordsmanship of the two is originally of the same origin (Wang Nana of Cao Lian's Youjiao), so the two practice very excitingly and is very ornamental. The actual combat effect, hehe.
Practice is only used to familiarize yourself with sword skills, and when it comes to real battles, all sword skills must serve one purpose, that is, to defeat the enemy! Therefore, those fixed moves rarely have the opportunity to be used completely, and they need to change their moves at any time according to the changes in the battle situation.
For Cao Lianyou, although she is currently proficient in swordsmanship, she lacks actual combat experience. However, who is willing to let her go to actual combat? Wu Ling'er, Zhou Ziheng, Shen Shuming, and even Wang Xiaotian himself, are they willing to let her face the enemy?
