Chapter 19: Learning in a Single Go
"Spearmanship is truly marvelous!"
"The most basic moves can actually be dismantled and combined into brand new moves, forming a fierce and domineering, exquisite spear technique—'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique'."
"By completely executing it once, my spearmanship improved by 2%."
What Lin Qi felt was most crucial was that he had actually learned the "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" after watching Zhang Cheng execute it only once. He didn't even need to watch the replay on his phone.
Not only had he memorized all the moves, but he was also able to execute them completely.
This showed that his comprehension was already at a genius level, several tiers higher than before.
In the past, even with the basic spear technique, he had needed a good while to learn it completely and be able to execute it in its entirety.
Thinking of this, Lin Qi was full of motivation. He continued to brandish his long spear, practicing the spear technique without feeling tired.
"Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique," first form!
...
Ten minutes later.
Hooo~
Swish! Swish!~
Zhang Cheng brandished his battle saber, completing the final form of the saber technique, and said to the lean boy:
"Did you record all of it? Next, you practice on your own!"
"Okay!"
The lean boy nodded, took his phone to an empty space, and silently began to learn the new saber technique manual.
Zhang Cheng held a Tang saber and walked through the classroom, searching for Lin Qi's figure, thinking of giving him some pointers on the new spear technique.
"Having just learned a new spear technique, due to being unfamiliar with the manual, the teacher's role is to help them speed up their proficiency."
"He's probably still memorizing the spear technique now," Zhang Cheng said to himself.
In his view, for a new spear technique, a student with good comprehension could memorize all the moves within a day or two and be able to execute it completely once.
"And for those with slightly lower comprehension, it might even take longer."
"As for geniuses who learn in a single go, they are still extremely rare. He hasn't seen many of them either."
Soon, Zhang Cheng found his target.
"This is..."
Swish! Swish!!
In Zhang Cheng's line of sight, a figure was brandishing a long spear. His momentum was immense, creating flurries of spear shadows in the air. The tip of the spear pierced the air, emitting a roaring sound.
Although the spear technique was relatively green, that wasn't the crucial point. The one he was executing was actually "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique"?
How much time had passed?
This Lin Qi was actually already able to completely execute "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique."
Could it be that he learned it before?
It wasn't impossible.
Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that some students would deliberately do this to attract the teacher's attention, making the teacher think they had encountered a genius, thereby gaining attention and receiving more guidance.
"Lin Qi, is this really your first time learning 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique'?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Lin Qi retracted his spear, simply wiped the sweat from his face, and nodded in response to the question: "It is indeed the first time."
"Then you demonstrate 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique' one more time."
"Alright!"
Lin Qi didn't ask why and began to practice the new spear technique again.
Swish! Swish!~
The "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" was executed by Lin Qi once more. Every time it was executed, his proficiency with this spear technique would increase.
And Zhang Cheng also discovered this point. He narrowed his eyes, wanting to see more clearly.
This kid's spear technique seems to have become more proficient and fluid again?
"When you execute the spear technique, pay attention to the rhythm. The connection between the moves doesn't need to be too rushed..."
"The fingers and wrist of your back hand must learn to turn. When using the spear, twist, wrap, drill, and flip. The little finger hooks, the thumb rubs, the palm turns, one twist, one thrust..."
Zhang Cheng began to give pointers, pointing out the problems in Lin Qi's spear technique.
Lin Qi's eyes lit up. His brain quickly processed, feeling that what Zhang Cheng said made sense.
So he once again practiced the "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique."
Swish! Swish!
"Shattering Thrust!"
"Spiraling Break!"
"Soaring Leap!"
The spear technique was fierce, its momentum immense. The connection between the moves became more natural.
The long spear pierced the air, dancing out spear flowers, creating flurries of spear shadows. The spear technique became more and more proficient.
[After training, your proficiency with "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique" has improved. Spear Technique +1%]
[After receiving guidance from Zhang Cheng, you have gained new insight into "Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique". Spear Technique +2%]
[Spear Technique: First-Order 67% → 70%]
...
Lin Qi brought his form to a close. Looking at the increase in his spear technique data, he was very satisfied.
It seemed his comprehension was truly strong, and this teacher, Zhang Cheng, was not bad either. A casual pointer from him had allowed his spear technique to improve.
Looking at Zhang Cheng again, his brows were now tightly furrowed.
He looked at Lin Qi, secretly astonished:
"This guy, the moment I point something out, his spear technique immediately changes."
"The entire set of spear techniques has become visibly more proficient."
"It seems he really did just learn 'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique' today."
"And his comprehension is indeed good. To be able to become so proficient just after learning it is still very rare."
"Interesting. To have such comprehension while being ranked 45th in the grade... I'm looking forward to the days to come."
Zhang Cheng made his judgment, and his impression of Lin Qi became even deeper.
"You continue to practice. Keep up the good work!"
After a few words of encouragement, Zhang Cheng continued on to guide Jiang Tao and the lean boy.
A few minutes later.
Zhang Cheng looked at the stumbling and fumbling saber techniques being practiced by Jiang Tao and the lean boy, and he fell into deep thought.
"Strange, how did three geniuses pop up today? Their comprehension is actually not bad."
This made Zhang Cheng feel like it was a good start, making him look forward to the future of the elite class.
...
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Class dismissed!"
After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he walked outside. The others went to wash up and change their clothes.
"Qi-ge, we both learned new manuals. Why does it feel like you are more proficient than me?"
On the way back to the classroom, Jiang Tao couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Maybe my comprehension is higher than yours?" Lin Qi said with a smile.
"Really? I'm 11th in the grade," Jiang Tao didn't believe it.
Lin Qi: "Oh right, what saber technique did you learn?"
Jiang Tao put his hands behind his head and answered, "I chose 'Heavy Mountain Saber Technique'. It's good at defensive counterattacks."
Lin Qi was surprised to hear this. The lively and active Jiang Tao had actually learned a steady, defensive saber technique.
"Also, Chen Zichuan is practicing 'Whirlwind Saber Technique'. Qi-ge, his body type is similar to yours. 'Water-Dripping Spear Technique' should be the most suitable for you."
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Qi's build and couldn't help but ask again.
Chen Zichuan was the lean boy.
"Haha, you'll know in the future."
"'Mountain-Shattering Spear Technique' is the spear technique most suitable for me."
Lin Qi didn't explain. After a while, no one would talk about this matter anymore.
Jiang Tao's heart stirred, and he didn't ask any more questions. Since Lin Qi was confident, he could only believe him.
Because from childhood to now, the other had never done anything he wasn't sure about.
The two returned to Class 3, began to pack their things, and said goodbye to their classmates.
"Wang Qiang, Daddy is leaving. Don't miss me."
"Get lost, son!"
"Old Hei, don't lose face for our Class 3 when you go to the elite class."
"Don't worry. After the monthly exam is over, you will be able to see me in the top ten of the grade rankings."
Jiang Tao and his classmates said their goodbyes amidst playful banter and scolding.
Watching Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and the others leave, the class suddenly felt emptier with eight fewer people.
A strange emotion lingered in everyone's hearts.
Everyone knew that from now on, they would no longer be students of the same level.
And Lin Qi and Jiang Tao in the corridor were striding towards a new future.
No. 2 High had three teaching buildings, all "U"-shaped. One side was classrooms, and the other side was martial arts classrooms.
The third-year students all had their classes in Teaching Building No. 3.
And the elite class's classroom was on the 5th floor, near the top. The entire floor had only one classroom; the rest were martial arts rooms.
A moment later, Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and many other students entered the elite class one after another.
"Find a seat and sit down yourselves. Taller students should try to sit at the back."
On the podium, a familiar figure began to speak. She was wearing a black suit and had a pretty face.
"Damn, it's actually Old Ban!" Jiang Tao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The person on the podium now was none other than Class 3's homeroom teacher—Yan Hong!
Filled with doubt, Lin Qi and Jiang Tao found a seat in the middle by the wall and sat down.
A strange atmosphere still shrouded the classroom.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The class bell rang. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yan Hong slowly began to speak:
"Dear students, welcome to the elite class!"
