"The first technique, its speed is like the wind."
With a clear shout, Xu Lan swung her fist as fast as lightning, the force produced even stirred up a gale, blowing sand and stones across the field, causing an uproar among the students.
Even Ye Qingzhou was stunned; Xu Lan's punch was so powerful it could probably kill a fully-grown elephant!
Although Ye Qingzhou thought Xu Lan's skill level was only at the Transformation Force stage, her strength far surpassed the Gang Force, akin to a human-shaped elephant!
"The Six Military Techniques encompass everything; Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest, Yin, and Thunder incorporate both the External Training Technique for tempering muscles and bones and the Inner Cultivation Technique for adjusting Inner Breath. Initially promoted only in the military to train our Dongji Kingdom's soldiers, allowing them to guard the nation. But now, in this era of great competition, this Cultivation Technique was approved three years ago for civilian promotion. You are quite fortunate."
After Xu Lan executed a set of Fist Techniques, she stopped: "Alright, now everyone practice along with me."
Mastery in Fist Principles translates to mastery in Swordsmanship, and Ye Qingzhou had unparalleled talent in Swordsmanship, so he completely grasped it after Xu Lan demonstrated it once, eagerly wanting to learn the remaining five techniques: "Teacher, didn't you mention the Six Military Techniques? What about the other five?"
Xu Lan was very patient with the students, looking at Ye Qingzhou with a pleasant expression: "Student, the most important thing in martial arts training is to be practical, don't aim too high. Come to me to learn the other techniques once you've mastered the Entry Level of Wind Force and reached the realm where Fist Force generates wind."
"Teacher, I understand what you mean, but I'm an unparalleled genius; I've already learned the technique you just demonstrated, can't you directly teach me the rest?"
Upon these words, there was an outbreak of laughter.
Many regarded Ye Qingzhou as a clown, thinking he was biting off more than he could chew.
Xu Lan, observing Ye Qingzhou's serious expression, felt a bit annoyed—are the young ones nowadays so arrogant?
If it wasn't her first day on the job, unable to beat a student, she'd be tempted to teach Ye Qingzhou a lesson on respecting teachers and valuing education.
Unparalleled genius, can such a genius attend Linjiang First High School?
A true unparalleled genius would have been discovered by Divine Gang Dao early during the nine-year compulsory education phase, recruited as a Martial Dao talent by prestigious schools, and arranged for one-on-one instruction by renowned Martial Dao teachers.
Seems like he read too many web novels, got overly confident in a rush, and really thinks he's the protagonist!
But having confidence is a good thing in martial arts cultivation.
After all, the example of going crazy before achieving greatness exists, so Xu Lan refrained from hurting the student's self-esteem, patiently saying to Ye Qingzhou: "Student, even if you are an unparalleled genius, you shouldn't disrupt others' normal learning; after all, they haven't learned it yet."
Ye Qingzhou sighed, reasonably nodding: "Alright then, I'll compromise."
Xu Lan: "..."
Once Ye Qingzhou returned to the team, Huang Liwen gave him a thumbs-up: "I didn't expect you to be even more shameless than me; from today on, I would call you the First Gallant of Linjiang."
"Sigh, I wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but it only led to being distanced. So I don't plan to pretend today, I am an unparalleled genius; I'm coming clean."
Ye Qingzhou spread his hands; though he inherited the original owner's identity, he didn't want to live the suppressed life of the original owner anymore; rather than continue being a flunkey, he might as well take the opportunity to change his image, and legitimately resume his identity as Sword Saint Ye.
But Huang Liwen didn't believe him at all: "I know being rejected by Yun Shanshan hurt you deeply, but I didn't expect such a severe blow."
After speaking, he took out a few walnuts from his pocket, looking at Ye Qingzhou with concern: "How about some? My mom says walnuts improve brain function..."
Though unacknowledged, Ye Qingzhou wasn't angry; he patted Huang Liwen's shoulder: "You're a good person, just narrow-minded, but the truth will eventually come to light. A genius like me will shine transcendentally across the Blue Star Martial Arts World."
"It's over; walnuts probably can't cure your condition."
Huang Liwen sighed; love surely drives people crazy, learning from it, he'll never be a flunkey.
Meanwhile, Cao Jingwen couldn't help but giggle: "Oh my, your old flame is really amusing."
Yun Shanshan felt a bit annoyed: "That fool, how could he say such things? It's so embarrassing!"
Cao Jingwen teased: "Probably wants to attract your attention; he's truly trying hard for you, even dared to challenge the teacher. Maybe you should consider; what if he's truly an unparalleled genius?"
"Hmph, I don't want to."
Yun Shanshan was quite relieved that she hadn't agreed to Ye Qingzhou's pursuit; in her view, the average in talent and ordinary background Ye Qingzhou wasn't a match for her.
Yun Shanshan had standards for her partner; with a hopeful expression, she said: "My future boyfriend must be a great hero, riding on clouds of rainbow."
Cao Jingwen was speechless: "Riding clouds? To invoke celestial phenomenon changes, at least he must be a Martial Saint Realm expert; you really dare to think!"
On the sports field, after Xu Lan explained several times the practice essentials of Wind Force, the students started teaming up to practice.
Those with high talent mostly understood the Secret Technique involved; the rest was about meticulous work, practicing incessantly until their bodies formed muscle memory.
Most students only half-understood, so they practiced while finding problems, then sought Xu Lan to resolve doubts and correct their posture.
Among them, Huang Liwen was eager to try but was puzzled seeing Ye Qingzhou indifferent: "Aren't you going to ask Teacher Xu questions?"
"No need, I have already learned it."
Ye Qingzhou found an inconspicuous corner on the field and began practicing alone.
At this point, he spread his legs, slightly bending them, his upper body naturally upright, his hands sometimes holding a ball, sometimes naturally hanging down, constantly adjusting his mood to let his whole body enter a relaxed state.
Then he stretched his arms, shook his shoulders, familiarizing himself with his current body through stance practice and shoulder shaking, seeing where his stretching limits were.
In the previous life, Ye Qingzhou had already reached the Gang Force stage, naturally honing his physique to the point of perfection.
Now reincarnated in Blue Star, although the realm remained, the body wasn't the previous one and needed reacquaintance.
The essence of martial arts, in Ye Qingzhou's view, is perfect control over self-strength, with weapons merely as extensions of fists and feet; only by perfectly mastering every ounce of the body's strength can one unleash the maximum power in combat.
Using Pile Skill, Ye Qingzhou quickly acclimated to his new body, then tried to manage Qi and Blood, integrating the force.
He stepped forward, front foot on the ground, then drew strength from the earth, all the way through his legs, back, delivering the force to his right arm's wrist.
Standing firm, shaking shoulders, stretching arms, spine like a dragon, force permeating the body, finally throwing a punch producing a thunder-like sharp sound, as strong winds roared around.
With this forceful punch, Ye Qingzhou felt great comfort physically and mentally: "Indeed, the martial arts principles of two worlds correspond; as said, unified force, peerless excellence. Martial arts essence essentially integrates the body's entire power, enabling the force to be used singularly. However, compared to Earth, Blue Star's martial arts reach far higher; Xu Lan's punch earlier definitely drew more than physical strength, seems there are deeper techniques I haven't mastered."
Ye Qingzhou mastering his body's force coincidentally caught Yun Shanshan's passing glance, astonishing her greatly: "Fist Force generating wind? That was less than half an hour, and Ye Qingzhou has already mastered it? Could he truly be an unparalleled genius?"
