mmediately knew what was going to happen next.As expected, a sword cry rang out from nowhere, exploding like a shockwave.The Xu family's two experts flew backward, one by one, looking disheveled and d...Liu Yang stood with his hands behind his back at the exit of Tongren Lane, silently watching the students coming out.

When the first few came out, the homeroom teacher's face was very ugly.

The more checkpoints you clear at the Copper Lane Challenge, the better.

And since clearing the levels takes time, the longer you stay inside, the more levels you'll clear.

It's only been ten minutes since people started coming out of Bronze Street, and most of them are likely those who haven't even passed the first level.

It is not surprising, although this world martial arts are prosperous, not everyone likes martial arts.

Wherever and whenever there is a large gathering of people, you're bound to find some slackers.

It's not surprising that a few students in Class 3 who aren't part of the elite martial arts class have given up on martial arts.

But when Liu Yang saw Xu Jun, who had just arrived, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

In his impression, Xu Jun's talent wasn't high, but he was absolutely dedicated and diligent in martial arts class.

And, he has been tempering his bones for more than three years. Although he definitely won't pass the second stage, it's not as if he would even make a mistake in the first stage of skin training, right

Waving his hand, Liu Yang said: "Come here."

"Teacher Liu," Xu Jun first returned the blue blade from his hand, then walked over.

Liu Yang said in a low voice, "What level did you reach"

"The second stage, right" Xu Jun said with a hint of uncertainty.

Although he could be sure that the puppet in this second round was definitely cheating. But the problem is, the second round is just the second round, and he couldn't bear to say anything about the fourth round.

“Second level” Liu Yang was slightly startled and said, “Your speed is pretty fast.”

Xu Jun spread his hands and said, "Maybe it's because the puppets in the first round were too weak."

Liu Yang was stunned. What did this mean

However, since Xu Jun passed the first round, he didn't have much anger anymore.

As for whether this kid managed to clear the second stage...

Liu Yang didn't have any intention of asking at all.

What the hell are you doing out here so early

However, he could never have imagined it.

Xu Jun's clearance speed was actually much faster than he imagined. One instant kill, one minute kill, and it didn't take much time altogether.

It's just that someone was watching the video playback, so it took a long time. Otherwise, he would have come out long ago.

"Xu Jun, you can go back first, or you can wait here, we'll go back together."

Xu Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back to the classroom and wait first."

Okay, go.

Xu Jun turned around and walked away without looking back.

The rest of the students, even those who hadn't broken through to the first level of Qi cultivation, looked at each other with anticipation and turned their gazes toward their homeroom teacher.

Liu Yang hu glared at them, saying: “All of you just stand here and reflect honestly. Why, even in your second year of high school, have you not even passed the first round Have all these years of practice gone to waste on dogs…”

Hearing the roar of Liu Yang's teacher from behind, Xu Jun unconsciously quickened his pace.

He doesn't want to run into bad luck.

However, he also understood that Teacher Liu Yang's requirements were actually not high.

As long as he clears the first level, he can accept it.

Suddenly, Xu Jun's footsteps stopped.

Standing before him was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was dressed in a black suit and stared intently at himself.

Xu Jun took a deep breath and bowed his head: "Hello, Principal Liang."

Xu Jun didn't care much about the school's administration, but even if he wanted to ignore the three innate teachers the school had, it wouldn't be very likely.

Besides, Principal Liang was in charge of teaching and even personally gave them martial arts classes. Unless they were blind, there's no way they could pretend to be strangers.

However, Xu Jun's heart was somewhat strange.

Jian Xin Tong Ming told him that Liang Hong Wei seemed to be coming for him.

Think about your recent performance, you don't seem to have done anything shameful, right

Liang Hongwei nodded slightly and said, "Xu Jun, may I ask you something"

"Principal Liang, please speak."

"In Tongren Lane, why do you choose to abstain"

Xu Jun's gaze was a little strange, so it was for this matter.

"Hmph, the puppets I encountered in the second level were already at the peak of the Innate realm."

If we fight any longer, won't we run into someone at the Innate level

I am a genius, not a fool.

I'm fine with going out to beat others up, but if I know I can't win, why would I just ask for trouble

Hehehe, this old geezer is pretty wicked.

He said in a low voice: “The student was able to defeat that puppet, already giving it their all, exhausted both physically and mentally. To continue fighting would only result in certain defeat, so they forfeited.”

Go all out

Exhausted both mentally and physically

Liang Hongwei's mouth twitched slightly.

I don't believe you!

Damn it, if I hadn't seen you fight that puppet with my own eyes, I might have been fooled by you.

During the school's centennial celebration, there were also instances where students who had excelled in combat after their training surpassed even their fellow elite peers.

And, after winning, that brilliant classmate was also exhausted, sleeping for a whole day and night before recovering.

So, Xu Jun's words are fine.

But anyone who sees Xu Jun fighting against the puppet wouldn't believe it.

To see you bullying that puppet, and even causing it to self-destruct is...

A few strokes of his sword, light as a feather, didn't even use up a tenth of his strength.

Gazing deeply at Xu Jun, Liang Hongwei remained silent for a long while before suddenly saying, "Xu Jun, you've already achieved the state of oneness between man and sword, haven't you"

"Yes."

Xu Jun did not deny it, and he had no intention of hiding anything.

"Good, your sword cultivation realm has reached human-sword unity, and your strength is also at the peak of postnatal martial arts. You can enter the first class."

Xu Jun frowned slightly and said, "Thank you, Principal Liang, for your kindness. But I'm very comfortable staying in Class 3. It's my last year, and I don't want to change."

“Don't you want to change” Liang Hongwei frowned slightly and said, “Xu Jun, do you know that the treatment and teaching teachers in Class 1 are far superior to those in Class 3.”

Xú Jùn shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know, but I insist."

Liang Hongwei fell silent for a moment, then said, "Go on."

After finishing his words, he clasped his hands behind him and turned away.

Xu Jun let out a light sigh. Of course, he wasn't ignorant of good fortune, but he had self-awareness.

He knew very well where his mastery of swordsmanship came from.

For the past decade, he had practiced diligently every day, never slacking off even for a moment.

Although the cultivation resources provided by his parents were incomparable to those of wealthy and influential families.

But, he never lacked anything that an ordinary family possessed.

But what was the result

It wasn't until he endured years of hardship in another world, struggling against his own projections, that he finally learned the usefulness of combining sword and self.

If I were with ordinary students from Class 3, they would at most be surprised. But in normal interactions, they wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

But if one were to join that class and be surrounded by those martial arts prodigies, under the watchful eyes of numerous masters...

Xu Jun thought seriously about it and felt that it was better not to take risks for some small gains.

Anyway, his strength comes from another world. The resources of this world don't really matter to him.

Thus, he collected his thoughts and slowly returned to the empty classroom.

Open a humanities book and read it quietly.

However, he didn't know that in another place, at the entrance of Tongren Alley, a huge wave was already brewing.ret it later."Xu Jun raised his head and said slowly, "Mom and Dad, you know, I study kendo. And sword cultivators value a heart of iron, going straight ahead without hesitation. If I'm indecisive, I'...
