"Whatās the name of that combat technique?"
Su Yue asked with respect.
"āEight Desolate Frenzied Bladeā!"
Liao Ji put away the small knife, hands behind his back, posing like a seasoned martial arts expert.
His eyes carried an unspeakable desolation, as if burdened with the fate of the entire martial arts world.
"This knife technique? Is it really that domineering?"
Su Yue was shocked.
Eight Desolate Frenzied Blade.
Just listening to the name, it was extraordinary.
In contrast, his own technique "Withered Steps", just didnāt sound as impressive.
"Ahem... the name, actually, isnāt that important. Anyway, Iāve always been talented since I was little, I learn everything quickly."
Liao Ji coughed dryly.
He certainly wouldnāt tell Su Yue that this was just the most basic Qi Blood Gang Qi.
Theoretically, as long as one is a first-rank martial artist and willing to engage in combat techniques, they must start with Gang Qi practice.
Whether you use a knife, a sword, or a whip, you can emit Gang Qi.
Half a meter is the limit.
But with a domineering name, it was enough to fool students like Su Yue.
Look, Su Yue was impressed.
Truly excellent.
Both intelligence and strength were remarkably outstanding.
"The marks arenāt very straight, are you unsure of the position?"
The knife mark was right between two bricks, but it was crooked.
"Iām not cutting the wall, look at the ground."
Liao Ji sneered disdainfully.
This Gang Qi might not have much power, but in terms of precision, Liao Ji was still top-notch.
"Impressive."
On the ground, a grasshopper had its head sliced off.
Truly precise to the millimeter.
Just the right cut, Su Yue couldnāt help but admire this guy.
Such precision in cutting.
"Are you doubting me, thinking I relied on luck?"
Liao Ji asked calmly.
"No, no."
Su Yue quickly replied.
Liao Ji was relieved at heart.
It really was luck.
He actually missed, originally planning to cut the grasshopperās belly for an explosive effect, but ended up cutting its neck; the grasshopper died without any drama.
But fortunately, the effect worked out.
"By the way, is there any benefit to being a class monitor?"
Su Yue asked.
"Iām not sure about the specifics, but I believe I will definitely be a good class monitor."
Liao Ji seemed willing to contribute.
"I see."
Su Yue nodded.
If thereās no benefit, he really didnāt want to fight for the class monitor role.
Just like Gong Ling...
In Class 2, besides training hard himself, he also had to supervise other students, sometimes facing criticism, all hard work with little reward.
Su Yue loves freedom and isnāt interested in becoming an official.
Of course, if there are benefits, then thatās a different story.
"If you become class monitor, would your brother agree?"
Su Yue asked again.
"My brother?
"Heās just a punching bag, a Qi and Blood martial artist, even if heās at 17 Card, even 18 Card, I could beat him in three minutes.
"Besides, he could never become class monitor.
"My brotherās dream is to open a chain hair salon and develop in the fashion world; he hates martial arts.
"If it werenāt for the Qi Blood Pills, and my dad and me beating him every day, he might not even get into the potential class."
Liao Ji sighed.
Liao Ping, such a weirdo.
Despite not being interested in martial arts, he had an unusually high talent, just practicing a bit casually, he would quickly break through.
His Qi and Blood, never from hard work, but from the beatings.
"Your brother isnāt interested in martial arts? But he looks so fierce."
Su Yue was astonished.
"Are you talking about...that ridiculous Zangai Clan hairstyle?
"Just to scare others, donāt be afraid of him.
"In his freshman year of high school, my brother suddenly got floral tattoos, left a green dragon and right a white tiger, my dad almost beat him to death, ready to have them removed by laser. But it turned out they were Stickers bought from online shopping, washed off after a bath, just a clever trick to scare people."
Talking about Liao Ping filled Liao Ji with anger.
"Alright, Iāve got to go do makeup on a dead body, see you in the potential class in a week."
Liao Ji left.
As he walked away, he mumbled to himself: "A dead body, and I have to do a hellās handsome makeup, how the hell do I do that."
...
Hongyuan City.
Xu Baiyan, wearing sunglasses, was chatting with a major.
In recent days, she had killed five Yangxiang Sectās evil followers.
Among them, three were traitors from Earth martial artists, and the remaining two were spies of the Wet Realm Yangxiang Race.
The Military Department came specifically to understand the situation.
āMen should cry, cry...ā
While chatting, Xu Baiyanās phone rang.
"Go ahead and take it, itās alright."
The major smiled.
"Sorry about this."
Xu Baiyan glanced at it; it was a call from Su Yue. She apologized with a smile, then answered the call.
"Sis, the Withered Steps you gave me..."
"I know, you canāt learn it, no need to explain."
Just about to tell Xu Baiyan the good news, who knew she directly denied him.
Su Yue was fuming inside.
Although I learn slowly, is it necessary to underestimate me so much?
Forget it, I wonāt tell you; you probably wouldnāt believe me anyway.
"Sis, Iām busy right now, if you have something, say it quickly."
Xu Baiyan said.
"Sis, I want to learn another combat technique.
"I want one that can produce Gang Qi with a blade, a really powerful one."
Su Yue got straight to the point.
Withered Steps had already succeeded, and he wanted another one.
The early bird catches the worm.
What if he goes to the potential class, and everyone is practicing combat techniques, but he takes forever to learn, it would be so embarrassing.
"Su Yue, itās not that I look down on you, but can you be more down-to-earth?
"Getting 18 Cards in your sophomore year isnāt something to be proud of; Cengyan City isnāt very big, and you canāt even walk steadily... forget it, since youāre my brother.
"Iāll send you a very simple combat technique, although I doubt youāll learn it."
After scolding Su Yue, she ended the call helplessly.
Sure enough.
Being a doting sister required deep understanding.
Afterward, Xu Baiyan sent Su Yue a technique called "Etiquette Blade Technique."
The creator of this technique couldnāt stand people lacking etiquette, let alone enemies from the Wet Realm lacking it; he used this technique to teach many people what etiquette meant.
"Xu, is that your brother? 18 Cards in sophomore year is impressive; would he be interested in applying to the Warring States Military Academy next year?"
Just after hanging up, the majorās eyes lit up.
Within a year, achieving a 2 Card qi blood was not difficult; this could be a martial artist candidate.
"Next year, weāll see; I can give him the suggestion.
"My brother is Prince Qingās son; he might consider the Warring States Military Academy since his father graduated from there, after all."
Xu Baiyan said.
"Prince Qingās son, no wonder. 18 Cards is to be expected; the tiger father has no dog son."
Mentioning Prince Qing, the major was filled with respect.
"By the way, did you send him the Etiquette Blade Technique? 18 Card qi blood, are you joking?"
The major asked again.
"Indeed, it is the Etiquette Blade Technique."
Xu Baiyan nodded.
"Really? This technique is difficult even for second-rank martial artists to master, and an 18 Card can manage?"
The major was astonished.
In military academies, the Etiquette Blade Technique was also a rare and fierce technique, known for its difficulty, but with immense power.
Although it appeared similar to the basic Gang Qi learned by first-rank martial artists, its biggest flaw was also its limited range of only half a meter.
But the color of the Gang Qi was different, and the power could increase by dozens of times.
Second-rank martial artists who could learn it were deemed first-rate geniuses.
"I canāt just have him practice basic Gang Qi, those simple things are taught in university.
"Allowed him to experience some setbacks early can instill a sense of awe for combat techniques, preventing him from becoming conceited."
Xu Baiyan explained.
"Hmm, thatās true. The greatest obstacle for geniuses is often their arrogant nature; experiencing some setbacks early on to temper their character is a good thing."
The major nodded in agreement.
"Xu, Hongyuan City was prevented from a widespread targeting of high school students because of you, and the Military Department thanks you."
The general situation understood, the major stood up to thank Xu Baiyan.
"Thank verbally?
"No material rewards or anything? Cash is fine, hereās my QR code."
Xu Baiyan grinned falsely.
"Xuās style really is down-to-earth."
The major laughed awkwardly.
"A bashful martial artist should have been eliminated last century."
Xu Baiyan lifted the QR code again.
