"Official Swordsman..."
Wang Ting muttered to himself.
Since he left the cafeteria yesterday, he has been thinking about a problem.
"A high-ranking martial artist, in order to quickly become a swordsman, can only use the method of tempering their physical body, stimulating the qi and blood contained within their physical body, causing their energy to greatly increase. With every move, their qi and blood surge forth. Once their qi and blood power reaches a sufficient level, they can then use a special method to condense their qi and blood into one stream, refining it into internal energy, and advancing to the rank of swordsman."
"Ordinary people, even if they constantly supplement with meat that contains strong energy and blood, it would take at least seven or eight years to accumulate enough energy and blood to condense into internal energy from a high-level martial artist. Even for those aristocratic families who eat fierce beasts as meat every day, the most they can shorten this time is to three to five years. To shorten it further, unless... one purchases expensive tonics like Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, and wild ginseng, makes them into medicinal dishes, and the older the better."
This is a method that costs more money than eating the flesh of ferocious beasts.
A hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and other precious treasures are still somewhat affordable, although the price is expensive, calculated in hundreds or thousands of gold coins. However, those great nobles occasionally spend money on them. But once those heavenly treasures reach an age of over a thousand years, their value will skyrocket. The value of a single thousand-year-old wild ginseng can be worth several thousand to tens of thousands of gold coins, and there are still people willing to buy it. If such precious treasures were used to nourish the royal court, even just two or three plants would be enough to make his body's energy and blood thick enough to produce a powerful force, impacting the formal swordsmen.
It's just that these two or three rare treasures, for the Wang family, whose total assets are only worth 100,000 gold coins, are basically enough to make their entire family go bankrupt.
"It seems that after a while, I should go out and move around. Staying in the academy has limited resources, and it's better to take the initiative to find opportunities than to sit idle. Going out into the deep mountains for training can broaden my horizons, increase my combat experience by fighting fierce beasts, and even obtain nourishment from their flesh and blood. Moreover, if I'm lucky, I might discover some rare treasures in the mountains that will help me advance faster as a formal swordsman."
Before he knew it, Wang Ting had already arrived at today's classroom.
This time, he came to listen to the second lesson of the concentrated and detailed explanation of the vigorous path. This course is related to the promotion of high-ranking warriors to formal swordsmen, and many people are interested. At a glance, there were nearly two hundred people.
Wang Tingyu was gazing out of the window when he walked into the classroom, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.
"Wang Ting, how did you end up taking this course? If I'm not mistaken, you're about to be promoted to a high-ranking warrior soon. Your qi and blood haven't reached their peak yet, and your physical body hasn't been refined to its limits either."
A crisp sound echoed in her ear.
It was Qin Qing, who also came from Bishui City like Wang Ting.
Qin Qing entered school relatively early and was also a genius in Bishui City. At the time of graduation, although he didn't outshine Wang Ting, now his vital energy has accumulated to the peak of a high-ranking martial artist, and it's not far from advancing to an official swordsman.
"Let me take a look and see if I can find an opportunity."
"Really?"
Qin Qing nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
"Qing Er, who is this?"
Qin Qing spoke as a beautiful and slender female student beside her curiously inquired.
Seeing the inquiry from her friend, Qin Qing seemed somewhat helpless, but still responded: "This is our city's first genius, Wang Ting. This is my roommate, Liu Ruisi."
"It's just Wang Ting."
Liu Ruxi had obviously heard of Wang Ting's reputation, and his gaze was quite strange.
Some astonishment, some contempt, some disdain.
"Think!"
Noticing something unusual in Liu Ruxi's tone, Qin Qing said with some displeasure.
"Alright, alright, I know."
Liu Ruxi said, and didn't waste any more time on Wang Ting. For a young man whose future was about to be ruined, she couldn't muster up any interest.
Her eyes darted around, and she seemed to have spotted something interesting. She hastily said: "Qin Qing, quick, look! That's Zhou Man, Zhou Man's father, Zhou Jin, is said to have made great contributions on the border and was summoned by the great Marquis of Haydon himself. He was even appointed as a hereditary baron by the king in person. Zhou Man is the only son among Zhou Jin's four children and will likely inherit his title in the future. Let's hurry over, maybe we can get to know them and become friends."
"Go yourself then."
Qin Qing sighed and said nothing, feeling helpless about her friend's behavior.
"Alright, I'll go first."
Liu Ruxi finished speaking and didn't even greet Wang Ting, but instead smiled and went to the circle of people where Zhou Man was, her attitude changing so much compared to before that it was as if she were two different people.
"Sorry Wang Ting, this roommate of mine... has a bit of that, but she's still a pretty good person."
Wang Ting nodded slightly.
He won't waste any time on someone irrelevant at all.
That Liu Ruxin had obviously been relegated by him to the ranks of irrelevant people.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly arose in the crowd. All the students who were waiting for the instructor to arrive simultaneously looked towards the door, including Zhou Man and others who were previously at the core of a small circle.
Only then, at the entrance of the classroom, a young girl wearing a dignified purple dress, accompanied by two women and one man, walked over with an elegant demeanor. Although she looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, her face still had a hint of innocence, but that delicate complexion was already breathtakingly beautiful. Her golden hair had a natural wave, falling on her slender shoulders, and the purple hair clip added a touch of liveliness. The noble quality she was born with combined with her sweet and lovely innocence, making her look like an angelic goddess who had walked out of a painting, evoking a desire to protect her, yet at the same time, feeling that it would be impossible to desecrate her.
Hailin'er
"It's Miss Hayley!"
"Miss Hailin is indeed as beautiful and enchanting as the rumors in school, oh my god, I'm about to be killed by her pure and lovely eyes."
"Miss Hailin actually came to attend this course, and today I came to this classroom, being able to see Miss Hailin is simply the wisest decision I made this semester."
A wave of murmurs rose up in the crowd, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on Hayley.
With Hailin's arrival, the already somewhat lively classroom was almost completely ignited, and everyone's gaze at Hailin contained a hint of crazy adoration.
"Mixed-blood?"
Looking at Hailin, Wang Ting also had a faint sense of surprise in his heart.
He was at the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsmen Academy, where everyone he saw were young men and women with Eastern features. Suddenly, a girl with Western features appeared before him, causing an inexplicable shock, especially since this Hailin was indeed a stunning beauty even among Western girls, no wonder most of the young men and women in the academy went crazy for her.
"Wang Ting..."
Qin Qing looked at Hailun and then glanced at Wang Ting, worried that he might do something impulsive at this time.
These days, because of Hailin's extremely high popularity among the new students in the academy, all sorts of information related to her have been dug up. This Hailin, although only sixteen or seventeen years old, is not someone who can be treated as an ordinary girl of that age. Not only did she easily gain the support of most of the new students upon entering the academy, but it's also said that when she was fifteen, she personally went to the border and onto the battlefield.
Because of the arrival of this marquise's granddaughter, a regiment that originally belonged to the Haydn family was inspired by her and burst out with infinite fighting spirit, shouting slogans with high morale, and killing an opponent who was originally evenly matched.
She is absolutely a heavenly beauty who cannot be measured by ordinary standards.
That scene five days ago was actually an accident too.
Wang Ting, who was admitted to the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy with the first place in the Bi Shui City, was at the peak of his confidence, thinking that he had already reached the pinnacle of the younger generation. When he saw Hailin going to register for the academy, he was suddenly shocked and voluntarily made a fuss in front of Hailin.
At that time, Hailin had just arrived at the Xuanzhong High-level Swordsmen Academy and was in a good mood, so he let him boast and brag like a clown on the side, treating it as a show to watch.
At the critical moment, Gong Sun Zan appeared.
There was a Count's grandson, Gong Sun Zu, who thought he and Haydn family's eldest granddaughter were a match made in heaven. He had been pursuing Haylin before, and now that they met again at the prestigious Xuanzhong Swordsmanship Academy, he felt it was fate. Later on, Haylin agreed to be King Ting's girlfriend and instigated Gong Sun Zu to duel with him.
In fact, at that time, whether it was Wang Ting or Gong Sun, in Hai Lin's eyes, they were just a group of clowns performing for her entertainment. She didn't care what she said or did, and she didn't think about the impact these things would have.
Children's words are innocent.
She who can instantly change from crying to laughing, from a proud holy girl to a lovely girl next door, understands this truth deeply.
"Uh-huh."
Hearing Qin Qing's words, Wang Ting responded with a sound, turned his head, and didn't make any further explanation to Hailin.
Seeing this scene, Qin Qing let out a slight sigh of relief.
It seems that this junior of mine has finally realized the difference in status between the two of them.
However, Wang Ting didn't turn his head, which was good. When he did turn his head and didn't keep his gaze on Hailin, it piqued her interest instead.
After all, almost everyone in the classroom was staring at her, and those few men who didn't look at her with adoration were too conspicuous. At a glance, Hayley's eyes had already fallen on Wang Ting, who looked somewhat familiar.
"This person, I seem to have seen before..."
"Miss, forgot, his name is Wang Ting, saw him when he first came to school, was in front of me at the time, but was very flattering, kept nodding and bowing, what a ridiculous sight."
"The young lady's status is so noble, it's completely normal for her not to remember a commoner like you."
"It seems I've remembered something." Hailin nodded somewhat enlightened: "It seemed like something else happened at the time."
Although it had only been a few days, her memory of Wang Ting was already somewhat vague, which shows that at the time, Wang Ting was just a passerby in her mind.
"Gongsun Zhi, Miss, forgot that this kid actually agreed to a duel with Gongsun Zhi, who is an upper-level martial artist. He rashly accepted the challenge of a mid-level swordsman, it's really hard to say whether he's foolish or what."
"Hehe, Fang Qi xue jie, doesn't this just prove that our miss's charm is unstoppable?"
"Duel?"
Upon hearing these two words, Hailin suddenly recalled the events of a few days ago: "Duel with that annoying guy Gong Sunzhu?"
As she said that, her gem-like big eyes finally lit up, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, walking towards the direction where Wang Ting was with a gentle smile.
