Chapter 52 Watching the Show
Chapter 52 Watching the Show
That evening, back in his dormitory, Lu Hao began using his kill points to temper his ribs.
Overnight, Lu Hao tempered two more ribs. Tempering ribs consumes a lot of mental energy, and with Lu Hao's blood and qi flowing continuously, he only had enough to sustain the tempering of two ribs.
To continue refining, he needed to restore his mental strength, but Lu Hao was reluctant to use kill points to do so.
……
The next day, June 2th.
Lu Hao walked out of the room, preparing to participate in today's academy assignment, and just then saw Fu Changding and Fang Ping also coming out.
Fu Changding held a long spear in his hand, while Fang Ping and Lu Hao had nothing in their hands.
"You don't bring any weapons?"
"I don't need it"
"I haven't learned how to use cold weapons yet, so I might as well fight with leg techniques," Fang Ping said helplessly.
"It's better to bring a weapon. After all, we need to pick off everyone, and we'll be at a huge disadvantage without one."
"Let's go and see. Maybe even the instructors won't allow weapons inside."
The three of them slowly walked towards the square in front of the training building.
There are already quite a few new students there. Yesterday, many of them lost credits for being late, so they all arrived exceptionally early today, not wanting to lose any more credits.
Some of these freshmen, like Fu Changding, carried weapons, but most of them were empty-handed. After all, high school students focused on their vital energy and blood circulation, and no one had ever learned combat techniques or cold weapons.
Another group of ordinary students looked on blankly at the scene. They didn't know how the college assigned students and thought it was the normal way the teachers assigned them. So when they saw these students rubbing their hands together in anticipation, they scattered around asking for information.
……
Soon after, the mentors came over.
Tang Feng shouted loudly, "First floor: College of Arts; second floor: College of Manufacturing; third floor: College of Tactics; fourth floor: College of Weapons!"
"It's 7:57 now. The building will be closed at 8:00 and reopened at 9:00!"
"When the building opens, the students on the floor belong to the colleges they are on."
Maximum of 400 people per floor!
Anyone exceeding the limit will have 30 credits deducted from the entire floor!
Immediately, all the freshmen started talking about it like a pot had been boiled over. Those who had been prepared beforehand were okay, but those who didn't know in advance were completely dumbfounded.
The school is forcing them to fight; otherwise, if someone insists on entering the building, it could result in hundreds of students having their credits deducted.
Soon, a student asked, "Teacher Tang, is it permissible to bring weapons in?"
Tang Feng glanced at the freshman who had spoken.
"Metal weapons are not allowed. There are solid wood weapons on the first floor that you may take."
You are all freshmen, and your actions are reckless and could easily cause a large number of casualties.
Solid wood weapons can reduce casualties…
Tang Feng's words immediately caused a sensation among the freshmen.
Reducing casualties means that there may have been deaths, which is not what they thought.
"Lu Hao, what do you think about reducing casualties? Did a student die on the very first day of school?" Fang Ping asked Lu Hao.
Fang Ping thought Lu Hao was very mysterious, not only powerful, but also with a background that was probably quite impressive, so asking him might get him the answer.
"Casualties are normal. Since you've chosen the path of martial arts, you're bound to face casualties. As for what you said, Martial Arts University has a considerable number of deaths every year."
Lu Hao spoke casually, thinking that it was nothing. He would only face the real cruel reality after reaching the third rank, when death would be a very common thing.
Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, Fang Ping and Fu Changding both turned pale with nervousness. After all, neither of them had ever seen blood before. Even if Fang Ping had fought with the evil cult warriors before, that didn't count.
"It's alright. With the instructors watching over things, there shouldn't be any injuries. Besides, you two are considered quite strong among this group of martial artists, so nothing unexpected will happen. At most, you'll just get a few injuries."
However, Fu Changding and Fang Ping were still somewhat afraid, after all, this was the first time they had heard of the possibility of casualties, and the first time they had heard of the death criteria.
After exchanging a few words with the freshmen, Tang Feng continued, "Except for not being allowed to bring metal weapons, everything else is up to you! Whether you join forces or gang up on each other, it's all up to you."
Martial artists must fight, but they must also act within their capabilities. If something is impossible, it is better to preserve one's useful life than to fight for a moment's pride!
Each academy has its own advantages and disadvantages; a weapons academy isn't necessarily the best choice. The best choice is the one that suits you best!
After Tang Feng finished speaking, he shouted, "Enter now!"
Upon hearing Tang Feng's voice, the freshmen immediately rushed in.
"Good luck, I'll be waiting for you on the fourth floor," Lu Hao said, and then walked forward.
Upon arriving on the first floor, the students were all selecting weapons. Even if they didn't know how to use them, it was still much better than fighting with bare hands. Lu Hao didn't take anything and walked towards the fourth floor, looking around.
Upon arriving on the fourth floor, there were already about a dozen new students. Lu Hao didn't interact with them; he simply found a spot, sat down, and prepared to watch the show.
Gradually, new students began to form groups of three or five, preparing to band together to resist the others.
Lu Hao saw several girls come up to the fourth floor, one of whom was one of the twenty people who had stood up yesterday. Lu Hao remembered her name was Yang Xiaoman.
In the original story, female warriors in the Magic Martial Arts Academy were often called "crazy women" because they would stop at nothing to fight. Looking at the girl named Aokiji in front of him, Lu Hao shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"Get out!"
With a loud shout, some people unleashed their inner energy to establish their authority, driving away others who wanted to enter, and even using wooden swords to cut down students who tried to come up.
"Look carefully, fourth floor. No one with less than 140 calories of energy is allowed to enter!"
Gradually, more and more people came up to the fourth floor, and soon Lu Hao saw Fu Changding and Fang Ping walk up.
As Fu Changding defeated a classmate right away, Fang Ping realized that the new students weren't very good, which boosted his confidence.
Fang Ping also started to mock, "Before I came to Magic Martial Arts University, everyone said that there were two geniuses everywhere!"
I gave up the multi-million dollar reward offered by Nanjiang Martial Arts University and chose to come to Magic Martial Arts University because I wanted to see a real genius!
But I never expected that the students at Magic Martial Arts Academy would be so weak; they're not as good as they've been known for!
"What did you say?!"
"furious!"
"Does he think he's invincible?"
Faced with their roars, Fang Ping continued to unleash his fury.
"What? All you can do is bark a few times?"
"Many people have told me that martial artists must fight! Martial artists dare to fight!"
"I've always thought and acted this way. I feel that the martial artists at Wuhan University are different; they dare to fight, dare to struggle, and dare to contend!"
"But I'm disappointed in Magic Martial Arts University again. So many martial artists, I stepped on your faces, and what did you do besides bark a few words?"
"I'm sure the mentors were all watching and listening at that moment."
"I look down on the students of Magic Martial Arts University, and the instructors will definitely be unhappy about it. They'll also hope someone will step forward to prove Magic Martial Arts University's strength, but what about you?"
Lu Hao watched Fang Ping, who was engaged in a heated debate with the assembled scholars and relentlessly provoking hatred. He wondered what would happen if he suddenly defeated Fang Ping right now.
However, Lu Hao only thought about it and did not stop them. After all, there was a show to watch, so why interrupt them?
