Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Tests – Provocation in Martial Arts Testing

The next day.
The testing place, the martial house of the Eastern Academy of the Blue Shirts.
“Zhuo Yifeng, at the Primary Rank of the Three-apertured Martial Disciples Realm, the cultivation progress is … C plus, you are just so so, and young man, you are wasting your life!”
“Li Cheng, at the Middle Rank of the Two-apertured Martial Disciples Realm, the cultivation progress is C minus… Well, considering your poor talent, you are not the most shameful one.”
“Fang Tianyi, at the Primary Rank of the Four-apertured Martial Disciples Realm, the cultivation progress is A plus … Don’t feel yourself highly flattered. I can only say that you haven’t wasted your talent.”
“Wang Xiaoqi… the cultivation progress is D minus … the greedy little guy, if your cultivation progress can catch up with your weight gain, then you shouldn’t just be at such a level. Fuck, after the test is over, run 20 circles in the exercise ground.”
In the martial house, the ambiguous voice of Mr. Wang Juefeng, the black-bellied teacher-in-chief, was heard once in a while. When the marks were given, words arousing hatred were also given. Generally, nobody was given good words by him.
The nominal disciple of the Eastern Academy of the Blue Shirts took the test of the trainers one by one on the stage.
The test tool was very simple. It was a small jade column similar to what was used for checking the talent and physical attributes After being examined by two teachers, teenagers put the palm on the column and ran Qi with full effort. The tick mark in the column would slowly rise, the final tick number could faithfully show the progress of the teenagers’ cultivation.
After two or three incenses burning time passed, more than 100 disciples in the Eastern Academy of the Blue Shirts had been tested.
Some people were happy, and naturally other people were shocked and angry.
Fang Tianyi with white skin, who was crazy about the sword practicing, presented a shocking performance. Unexpectedly he made a breakthrough and achieved the Four-apertured Martial Disciples Realm and went across three Small Realms. So far in those disciples tested, he was the one with the strongest strength and the only one who got the mark of A plus.
The test continued.
Cries of surprise continued to ring up in the martial house.
More and more teenagers showed their astonishing progress.
Some teenagers who were not very eye-catching at the beginning stood out in this test and burst into amazing light.
Finally, Fang Tianyis’s record was still broken.
This was a boy named Lu Pengfei. He was an extremely low-keyed person in ordinary time. When he met others, he would say hello politely. When he joined the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, he was just a small rookie during the tempering period. He came to Ding Hao to ask for advice on cultivation at meals every day.
When he came to the ring, most people did not pay much attention to him.
But when the red pointer in the scale jade column went beyond the number 4 slowly, almost every one looked at Lu Pengfei surprisingly and incredibly with their mouths open.
The Four-apertured Martial Disciples Realm?!
Within just one month, the little guy in the tempering period at the beginning leaped to the primary rank in the Four-apertured Martial Disciples Realm?
The unstoppable exclamation and the sound of a series of taking cold breath screamed in the martial house.
Didn’t they have blurred vision?
“Lu Pengfei, at the Primary Rank in the Four-apertured Martial Disciples Realm, the cultivation progress … super A level!” Looking at Lu Pengfei, who could not hide joy in the face, the black-bellied man hummed and nodded slightly, and for the first time, he didn’t show his malicious words.
Lu Pengfei got off the ring joyfully.
He held his neck high like a proud big roaster, without concealing his pride at all. More surprisingly, a few friends who had good relations with him stood up and greeted him, and unexpectedly, he still held his head high and ignored them as if he had not seen them.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Pengfei went straight to Ding Hao. He said with a forced smile, “Will Senior Brother Ding Hao get the super-level for the cultivation progress as evaluation?”
Even fools could get to know the strong tone of provocation in his words.
Wang Xiaoqi and other’s faces changed.
Zhang Fan, the hunter teenager, disliked others’ disrespect for Ding Hao, so he stood up angrily and said, “Lu Pengfei, what do you mean? Do you want to provoke Senior Brother Ding?”
Lu Pengfei humed in the nose and said with a cold smile, “Zhang Fan, who are you? You don’t deserve to ask me!” “Hehe, with your poor talent, you would not have been admitted to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect without Ding Hao’s compassion for you in the perseverance test. I guess that you have not reached the One-apertured Martial Disciples Realm, right? You are still far behind me if you want to champion the cause of justice.”
“You…” Zhang Fan was honest and straightforward and inalticulate. He was so angry that his body shivered and he didn’t know what to say.
Fang Tianyi sitting aside got sick of Lu Pengfei; he stood up and glared at him. “Lu Pengfei, well, you have just made a little progress, and you can’t wait to show off? Don’t forget, in the past month, who called Senior Brother Ding every day with a bold face and asked for various advice humbly.”
“Hey? Fang Tianyi, you say so because you are jealous that I broke the cultivation progress record kept by you just for one hour, right?” Lu Pengfei took a glance at him scornfully and sneered.
Hey!
Fang Tianyi was not as honest and straightforward as Zhang Fan, and he pulled out his long sword lightly and sneered. “Lu, say it again if you are not a coward!”
Lu Pengfei’s face changed.
After all, Fang Tianyi was also in the Four-apertured Martial Disciples Realm. His swordsmanship reached the acme of perfection. Lu Pengfei was a little afraid.
During the whole process, Wang Juefeng, the black-bellied teacher-in-chief said nothing. Other two teachers were just lookers-on and obviously, they did not want to get involved.
In the crowd off the ring, Li Lan, as the head of the Eastern Academy did not show any sign to be involved and he sneered at Lu Pengfei.
He knew it clearly that he needed not involve himself in it as the head of the academy.
Because it was not necessary.
What a strong man Ding Hao was!
Lu Pengfei was somewhat scheming. Some days not long ago, he was low-keyed, and he just wanted to use other people as tools, but he just played petty tricks. He could hardly retain his composure. With a little achievement, he could not wait but provoke Ding Hao, however, he was too far behind Ding Hao.
Expectedly, under people’s gaze, Ding Hao stood up slowly.
He looked at Lu Pengfei quietly, examing him seriously to get to know such a person again.
Strangely enough, Lu Pengfei, with full confidence just now, had a guilty conscience without any reason when he caught the calm eyesight with strong penetration. He dared not look back at Ding Hao and turned his head over involuntarily.
Ding Hao’s corners of mouth showed a slight disdainful chuckle.
Instantly, Lu Pengfei came to understand something. Dam it! How could this happen? Obviously, it was he who wanted to challenge Ding Hao, why did he lose his courage in the moment of eye to eye? Why did this happen?
He turned around immediately, forced himself to raise his head and stared at Ding Hao to try to show his calmness and bravery.
