Male Succubus Apocalypse
Chapter 52 The target of public criticism
Since Xu Heng didn't know how to use fighting spirit and didn't even have a clear understanding of the differences between the ranks, then he made the right decision to come to Tianmen Academy.
Hermes's evaluation of Xu Heng will undoubtedly improve if Xu Heng is still able to act after finishing the battle, because Linkovich has handed over his trump card and he will not be able to continue fighting afterwards.
Xu Heng was different. He just used his domain to figure out Lin Keweichi's moves and tricked him out of all his secrets. Moreover, the price he paid was far less than it seemed on the surface.
Smart, has combat awareness and experience, and good reading ability, but his skills are crude and his use of fighting spirit may be very primitive.
It is a rough jade waiting to be carved.
"Xu Heng, since you have nothing to do, get ready. I will take you to the class. The training is about to begin." Hermes was particularly looking forward to Xu Heng's performance and said with excitement.
"Um, okay, but how do we get there? Walk there?" Xu Heng asked.
"Fly over!" Hermes said confidently, and Linkovich walked to Hermes' side tacitly.
"Fly... eh eh eh!" Xu Heng suddenly felt his body lighten, his feet were empty, his body fell back and began to float.
Linkovich, whose hostility seemed to have reduced a lot, gave him a reassuring smile, but he steadied his body like an expert, standing in suspension.
A thin layer of white substance emerged on the surface of Hermes' skin. From a close distance, the white substance looked like static water.
"What he has on him is compressed Dou Qi. Even among gold-rank warriors, there are only a few who can master Dou Qi to this extent. He can make people float by changing the density of Dou Qi through the field. I'm afraid he is the descendant of a demigod." Julie is very knowledgeable and told Xu Heng about it so that he could broaden his horizons.
"Go!" Hermes shouted softly. Xu Heng turned over and faced down, looking at the exposed rocky ground with the snow completely lifted up. Suddenly, he felt the blood rushing to the extremities of his limbs, making it difficult to breathe and his chest tightening.
After he took a deep breath in a trance, he found that everything around him suddenly shrank. The large area of rock that was originally exposed due to an unknown force turned into a small black dot.
Xu Heng felt nothing. He knew that he was being carried flying. He didn't want to think about the principle. In this different world, everything was reasonable.
But he understood why Hermes asked him to prepare. Before setting off, he did not straighten his body. Now in the air, Xu Heng was flying with his butt sticking out, his body folded together, and the thrusts from his back and buttocks were madly squeezing his potential for sitting forward bend.
Ligament! It's going to break! Ligament!
But he couldn't shout out. His chest was already stuffy, and the ridiculous posture of his chest pressing against his knees made him not have enough air to shout out.
Fortunately, this state did not last too long. It seemed to have formed a parabola, and when it reached the highest point, it paused.
The huge inertia instantly made Xu Heng stretch out, and he could hear his back crackling.
Because of this momentary pause, Xu Heng realized that they had taken off about a hundred meters, and the mountains below had turned into raised white dots.
Hermes had his back to the two of them, as if he was looking for something below.
Lin Keweichi, who appeared calm and remained upright, was secretly glancing at Xu Heng, his smile no longer able to be suppressed.
Hahaha, cat people are really flexible!
Xu Heng's attention was immediately attracted by a towering mountain on the side, about several hundred meters away from them, which made him compare it with the highest peak in the original world.
The peak reaches straight into the clouds, and from this position, you can't even see the top.
"That is Tianmen Peak, the highest mountain on the continent. Right now, a century-long competition is taking place on the top of the mountain." Lin Kewei noticed the direction of Xu Heng's face and gave him an explanation with the meaning of a senior.
"I've learned a lot." Xu Heng said perfunctorily with a smile, trying his best to make the guy in front of him feel better. He didn't really want to create a potential enemy because of a test.
We will be classmates from now on.
Lin Keweichi kept smiling. In fact, he had no opinion about Xu Heng - after Hermes' brainwashing, Xu Heng just did not show the surprise about Tianmen Peak as he expected.
There is also curiosity about the competition.
It made him feel that Xu Heng might have reached a state of mind where he could remain calm in the face of the world, just as Hermes said.
The truth was, when Xu Heng thought about An Lingqing taking him to the top of the mountain, not only would it be windy and cold, it might also be dangerous.
No matter how I think about it, I have no favorable impression of Tianmen Peak.
Troublesome places, troublesome things happen.
"We've found the class, let's go down now!" Hermes seemed to have found the place and spoke.
Xu Heng learned his lesson this time and quickly adjusted himself to a straight upright posture.
But then he felt a congestion in his brain and still felt quite uncomfortable. He used to dream of becoming an astronaut, but now with his devilish physique, he still found it difficult to resist the torture at high speeds.
It turns out that I can only think about it, just to make my grandparents "happy" for a while, and try to trick them into eating some jelly.
"boom--"
The scene in front of Xu Heng's eyes slid quickly and turned into an afterimage of Mo Ju in an instant. Hermes took them and landed obliquely on a mountain peak that was lower than the one where Xu Heng was picked up.
He straightened his head straight - if he bent down to look, Xu Heng was afraid that it might break in the process - and he could see from the side that there was a small group of surging black spots on the peak. When Hermes began to descend, they fled in chaos like ants blown by the wind.
It seems that big brother should stop doing this.
When taking off, they can clear away the snow that has accumulated over the years. As for landing, Xu Heng didn't even dare to think about it. He could only feel a little pity for the people below.
"boom--"
Hermes stopped precisely a dozen centimeters from the ground. As expected, the huge snow waterfall submerged everything in sight.
Xu Heng finally understood that Tianmen College was really "Tianmen Peak College". There was one class on each mountain. All the Tianmen Mountain areas belonged to the college, right?
If this is true, we might as well change it to "Tianmen Training Camp".
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Hermes started shouting, "Old man, I'm bringing new people here."
"You bastard! Do you like playing so much? If you come over here like this again, I'll wait for you here with a gun!" Not far away, the sea of snow that had not yet fallen suddenly exploded in the opposite direction, producing a white cloud.
A thin, shriveled, bald old man with a white beard that reached down to his chest walked out of the hole that was blasted in the sea of snow, staring at him with piercing, angry eyes.
You can see that the old man did not sink into the snow, but miraculously stepped on it, wrapped in a dark golden robe embroidered with flying birds and running animals, wearing a pair of cloth shoes, holding a long sword behind his back, with an aura of majesty between his brows...
If he hadn't taken off his cloth shoes and thrown them at Hermes in the next step, Xu Heng might have thought that a master of his generation was no more than this.
"Old man! Don't use alchemical weapons! They stink!" Hermes looked like he had seen something filthy. He took out a wooden sword from his space ring with great disdain, exerted force on his waist, and hit the cloth shoes home run into the sky. "Hey, this sword is enchanted. The students who are going to demonstrate with me today will have a great time."
Hermes's face was dull, but his words were not cold, which made Xu Heng feel that this guy might be very different from An Lingqing's type.
"You bastard!" The old man angrily raised his other cloth shoe and kicked out.
"Crack!"
Hermes resisted quickly, and the wooden sword in his hand broke into two pieces. His cloth shoes disappeared without a trace, but there were still some fragments left on the snow, which showed the ending.
During the whole process, Xu Heng didn't see the flying shoe clearly.
"Eighth-level warrior, human..." Xiao Shi reported.
"The faculty at Tianmen College is truly amazing. There are two teachers, one at level seven and the other at level eight, and they teach at the bronze level," Xu Heng sighed in his mind.
"Tianmen Academy adopts a follower system. The teachers will teach from the bronze level to the silver level. They will have the right to select these people as apprentices first. Every student will be the elite among the elites when they are released outside." Julie responded.
The original intentions of warriors and magicians in accepting apprentices are often different. Warriors often sincerely want to pass on everything they have and then expand their sect. They don't know when they will die in battle, so they want to preserve the combat skills they have learned. This is the simple emotion of every warrior who founded a sect.
But it is different for magicians, they often take in apprentices so that they can help them and handle trivial matters, because the knowledge they have researched is there, if you want to learn it, you can learn it, no one will stop you, and it is not certain whether you can learn it or not.
The principles of magic are static, unlike combat skills which can be constantly improved upon based on the individual. It's just that by becoming a disciple of a magic master, one can get a guide to answer questions, and if one is interested in his subject, one can learn about the latest developments.
In other words, learn the magician's spellcasting style and ideas for improvement.
There must be some secret magic that is kept in the bottom of the box, but the magician will not pass it on easily. After all the hard work and effort to research the magic, the apprentice can read it in just one second? If it is revealed, who can he complain to?
It’s different for warriors. Combat skills are very personal things. If an apprentice learns them and wants to reveal them, it would be like exposing himself. However, no matter how exposed a spell is, its power still exists.
Therefore, the teachers at Tianmen College are eager to find a good apprentice. The time they spend teaching students and on the job is incomparable to that of Hongdao.
"It smells bad! It stinks!" Hermes pinched his nose and fanned it.
The barefoot old man was so angry that his beard was about to stand up. However, as students covered in snow slowly crawled up one after another around him, he couldn't continue to be angry with Hermes, so he could only curse: "I am so unlucky that I have met you as my assistant teacher!"
"Yeah, I feel unlucky too. Don't you have an apprentice? Why are you still working here?" Hermes asked without giving in.
"Humph, it's because my disciple made a fool of himself when he was watching the battle on the top of the mountain. I wanted to take him to broaden his horizons. I was really foolish! Now I want to take another one!" The old man said in annoyance, hitting a sore spot. "By the way, the newcomer you are talking about, isn't that the one..."
Hermes, who was about to continue speaking, closed his mouth and nodded secretly to the old man.
The old man opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Heng, who was standing next to Hermes and looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me! I don't want to be "specially treated"! Don't give me extra training!
Turning his gaze back, the old man spread his hands and Hermes gave him a thumbs up.
Damn! I really hate thumbs up now! It makes me want to give a thumbs down!
Xu Heng felt a little overwhelmed.
……
On the top of the peak, more than twenty young men in black Taoist robes were standing in a circle, each holding a wooden sword in their hands, looking quietly and seriously at the three people in the circle.
"Many people think that swords are best for stabbing, but in fact, the general three-foot-long sword, without a guard, has a forward center of gravity, which is very suitable for chopping. In addition, it is more flexible than a knife, so it has an advantage in small-scale local slashing." First, an old man was holding a sword in one hand and gesturing with the other hand. "Now, what you are holding in your hands are swords with reduced guards. Our recent topics will revolve around this."
After saying that, the old man made way, revealing two men with naked upper bodies behind him, each holding a wooden sword, facing each other.
One of them had a grim expression, while the other had a sad face. Combined with the marks of being beaten up, he looked as if he had just been tortured.
“Without the hand guard, the sword incurs an extra risk, but in return it releases the chopping power. You only need to pick the weak point and poke it. The movement is light and the damage is strong, and you can often take the initiative.” The cold-faced man said as he raised the wooden sword in his hand and performed the four corresponding moves.
The strike is gentle when lifting, powerful when pulling back, crisp when pointing the sword, and the sword body trembles.
"Today we will mainly use these four methods for sparring to train your sense of distance and your keen sense of timing. In the future, we will also teach you physical skills and tactics. We will select the people in the silver preliminaries based on your performance in the past few days." The old man continued, "Then, you can start. You can freely choose your opponents. As usual, everyone will have a chance to practice with the assistant coach once. We will have a small test tomorrow."
It's already started? Weren't you allowed to practice? No, then why did you ask me to stand in the middle? I was embarrassed because I had no clothes to wear. It's fine if you asked me to follow the demonstration. What's the point of asking people to stand here as punishment?
Xu Heng, who stood there stupidly and stared blankly in the VIP seat throughout the whole process, felt very resentful.
But soon, Xu Heng knew what it meant.
"Xu Heng! Practice with me!"
"Me, me, me! Follow me!"
As soon as the old man and Hermes walked out of the circle and briefly introduced themselves - it was Hermes who introduced Xu Heng as "This is Xu Heng, a transfer student" - he was surrounded by a group of disciples who asked to practice sparring with him.
Well, you guys are so enthusiastic! Don’t I know that you are all getting angry now and want to teach me a lesson as a relative who suddenly showed up and wants to compete with you for the candidate spot in the silver class?
I won't! I'll practice on that fool Hermes who pushed me to the stake!
Xu Heng knew that he was not a genius, and it was impossible for him to find any clues to tease after watching it once, but what was happening before his eyes was exactly what he wanted, and he didn’t want to be abused.
"Xu Heng, I know what you want to do, but practice is to solve doubts and improve your level. It's not really to practice the basics for you. Besides, after you practice once, you will be surrounded again, and Hermes has pushed you up..." Julie didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.
Hermes wants to set Xu Heng up. If Xu Heng goes to him to practice again, it is very likely that a big drama of "biased relationship" will be staged, and his life will be difficult in the future.
"Then I deserve to be beaten by them? It may not hurt, but it's not as painless as An Lingqing said! Julie, Julie, I said you are narrow-minded and thought you were wrong, and now you are waiting for me here?" Xu Heng felt a little angry, feeling that he was forced into the trap of public criticism.
"Will you feel better after being beaten, or will you feel better after practicing with Hermes and then being beaten even harder? It may not even make you feel better. It's your choice." Julie knew that putting interests at the forefront would be the most difficult solution for Xu Heng.
"Hiss, what you said... makes sense... but bullshit! These bastards are so emotional that they want to eat me up completely! There's no way they can get rid of their hatred!" Although he complained like this, Xu Heng accepted it.
The best way to get out of the current predicament is undoubtedly to train well and defeat these warriors who admire the strong. Finding Hermes for improvement is an opportunity that must be taken seriously.
Besides, no one said you can't use fields, right?
It is worth noting that among the disciples surrounding Xu Heng, the only one missing was Lin Keweichi.
