"Instructor, let him take the test again." The person who spoke was Jiang Hu, who was the first to pass the test and the oldest among the group of children.
"Yes! Instructor, give Haochen another chance."
"Instructor, Haochen trains hard every day. Let him try again."
For a time, voices pleading for Long Haochen could be heard from almost every young man's mouth. This was the popularity gained from leading people to do good deeds, not to mention that they were just a group of children, far from being involved in any interests.
Balza said in a deep voice: "Quiet." The vast hall suddenly became silent.
Balza said: "Okay, I will give him a chance, but for the sake of fairness, Long Haochen, you have to defeat Jiang Hu in a one-on-one duel before you can get this opportunity. So do all of you who failed.
Likewise, whoever can defeat Jiang Hu, I will give him a chance to re-examine, only within three days."
Long Haochen was overjoyed. He thanked his friends again, and then turned to Balza, "Thank you, instructor."
Seeing the sunshine and pure smile on his face like a stunning girl, even if Balza was a man, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. Ignoring Long Haochen, he instead looked at Jiang Hu and said calmly: "With all your strength
Go, otherwise, I will revoke your title of knight squire, do you understand?"
"Yes." Jiang Hu agreed and drew out the wooden sword from his back. The other teenagers spread out to make way for an open space.
"Haochen, be careful, I won't show mercy." Jiang Hu put the wooden sword in front of him and gave Long Haochen a knight's salute.
Long Haochen also returned the courtesy, "Brother Jiang, please."
Jiang Hu gave a low shout, then charged forward, and struck straight at Long Haochen with the wooden sword in his hand, aiming for his left shoulder.
Long Haochen seemed very quiet. It seemed that his movements were a beat slow. He didn't move until the wooden sword in Jiang Hu's hand was halfway across. He raised the wooden sword in his hand and hit the edge of Jiang Hu's sword.
location below.
With a soft sound of "duh", Jiang Hu's sword was actually swung away even though his spiritual power was obviously greater than that of Long Haochen.
Seeing this sword, instructor Balza's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
Although Jiang Hu's wooden sword was swung away, he reacted quickly. He used the opportunity to rotate his body, use the power of his back to drive his arms, circle the wooden sword in his hand, and slash out horizontally.
Jiang Hu's response was wonderful, and it was quite good for him to be able to do this at his age. However, Long Haochen's response was even more surprising.
When he deflected Jiang Hu's attack with his sword, he had already moved forward. The distance between the two was already close. With this progress, he had already reached Jiang Hu's side. At this time, it was Jiang Hu.
The moment when the tiger's body spins.
How could he attack? Balza also had doubts in his mind. The wooden sword was three feet long, and Long Haochen was already close to his body, so it was absolutely impossible to use it.
However, at this time, Long Haochen had already used his attack. He used the hilt of his sword.
He lowered his body, and at the same time raised the hilt of the sword, just under Jiang Hu's ribs. Long Haochen didn't even exert any force in this blow, but Jiang Hu's body had already fallen away, and the wooden sword he swept was just right.
Passed over Long Haochen's head.
"Stop." Balza shouted.
A flash of light flashed in Balza's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You lost your balance and used too many moves. Jiang Hu, you lose. If Long Haochen's sword hilt had been stronger, you would have been lying on the ground."
Jiang Hu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Haochen, you are so cunning."
Long Haochen put away his sword and stood up, looking a little apologetically at Jiang Hu, who finally managed to stand firm.
Balza nodded to Long Haochen and said: "You can try the second assessment."
Returning to the wooden pile again, the expression on Long Haochen's face became obviously solemn. It was really an unusual feeling for such a look to appear on the face of a young man like him.
Holding the wooden sword tightly with both hands, the persistence in Long Haochen's eyes became obviously stronger. It seemed that there was a faint halo around him. Especially his eyes, those clear blue eyes, the look in his eyes was like that
firm.
Suddenly, Long Haochen turned around fiercely and swung the wooden sword in his hand with a persistence far beyond his peers.
Bang——, the stone beads bounced, and Long Haochen himself fell back a step due to the force of the shock, and the wooden sword in his hand almost fell. It could be clearly seen that traces of blood were seeping from the tiger's mouth of his hands.
"Spiritual power eleven, passed." Balza's voice sounded in shock. From spiritual power nine to eleven, it sounded like only a numerical difference of two. However, in the previous assessment, Long Haochen had clearly passed.
He used all his strength! Being able to produce such a large increase at this time means that he has stimulated his potential to the limit.
After a brief moment of surprise, Balza returned to normal and asked Long Haochen to go to the infirmary to bandage himself before continuing with the next assessment.
"The assessment is over. Those who failed will not need to come back tomorrow. Those who passed will be assigned new instructors tomorrow. Disband now and go home after receiving the essence-building liquid."
"Thank you, instructor." The teenagers shouted in unison.
"Long Haochen, please stay here for a while."
The teenagers left with cheers, regardless of whether they passed the examination or not. At this age, it is easy for them to find joy and happiness.
Only Long Haochen and Instructor Balza were left in the vast hall of the Odin Palace.
"Haochen, tell me, why did you choose that attack method during the battle with Jiang Hu?" Balza asked seriously.
Long Haochen replied without hesitation: "Because my strength is not as good as that of Brother Jiang Hu, I can only look for his flaws. You have taught us that when chopping, the strongest point is the tip of the sword. The closer to the hilt, the stronger the strength."
The smaller it gets. Then when he attacked a second time, I observed that his waist was the center of gravity, so I moved closer so that he could not fully exert his power. If the center of gravity was broken, he would not be able to continue attacking."
Balza's eyes were full of surprise, "In other words, you learned all this through observation?" He has never taught these children actual combat, because at their age, the most important thing is to lay the foundation.
When practicing actual combat, Long Haochen's calmness and accurate grasp of timing during the battle really shocked him.
"Okay, you can go home." Balza waved his hand. He vaguely felt that this child had a potential that other teenagers did not have.
"Instructor, my essence-building liquid this week..." Long Haochen asked tentatively with a bit of shyness on his pretty face.
"Oh, go get it."
"Goodbye, instructor." Long Haochen left happily.
Watching his happily walking away, Balza could not help but have a smile on his face, "This kid has a pure nature and is willing to work hard. He seems to be very talented in fighting. He is really a rare good prospect!"
"Do you know why he can easily find the weaknesses of his opponent?" At this moment, a clear and sweet voice sounded next to Balza. Because the voice came without warning, Balza was immediately startled.
I don't know when, there was a middle-aged man beside Balza. He looked like he was in his thirties, wearing a simple and plain robe, but he had a pair of eyes as bright as stars. In his eyes
Deep in the eyes, there is a light of sadness and memories, and even a hint of pain.
