Chapter 77: Martial Will

  "Tomorrow, the academy will be assessing the quota for the training exercise, you should make preparations." Looking at Chen Jiu, Chao Xiaoyu said seriously.

  "What quota?" Chen Jiu put down the book in his hand and asked doubtfully.

  "It's an experience quota."

  "Are you going out for a trip?"

  "No, it's just an ordinary trip, do you still remember that little paradise, small world I told you about before?"

  "What's wrong?" Chen Jiu asked.

  "Those small worlds can only withstand limited power, so some people with high cultivation can't enter, only disciples with low cultivation can swim in it like fish."

  What's good about a small world?

  "Miraculous medicine, precious stones, rare opportunities... countless!" Chao Xiao Yu said with a smile.

  "I'm a bandit at heart, if I know there's something good out there and can't figure out a way to get it into my own pocket, I won't be satisfied."

  "Have you decided to go?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Qingyang Academy, all freshmen are standing in the martial arts arena. Li Hui with a white beard and sparkling eyes is standing on a platform: "Gentlemen's six arts, you also got your own martial arts training methods in the Cangshu Pavilion, now, you have to decide victory or defeat here, the top thirty will receive heavy rewards from my academy, I hope you can sign up enthusiastically."

  Chen Jiu took a glance at Zhao Xiaoyu standing on the side with an expressionless face and stepped forward: "Director, I want to sign up."

  "Do you want to sign up?" The principal asked in puzzlement.

  "Yes, students need to sign up," said Chen Jiudao.

  The dean's movements paused, nodding: "Come over and sign".

  Chen Ji had just picked up his pen when he heard a faint humming noise in his ear, which was the dean's.

  "Chen Jiu, I hope you can give up this match."

  Chen Jiu's movements paused for a moment, then without hesitation, he wrote his own name: "Why?"

  "What's the point of asking now?" The principal sighed as he looked at Chen Jiu's name.

  There were not many applicants, only two hundred people.

  "As for the fight, there are no other requirements, only to guard the ring. The one who guards it the most times is considered the winner. The top 30 will be rewarded and the last 30 will be punished."

  After finishing speaking, the old principal stepped down and left the stage to everyone else.

  Chen Jiuyi wore a purple robe, and with light footsteps, he had already arrived at the foot of the stage. Step by step, not very fast, but very steadily, he came onto the stage.

  "Still so overbearing", Yi Xiao Xiao muttered under her breath.

  "Being the first to sound the drum has its advantages and disadvantages, it can't be generalized." thought Little Fishing Village in his heart.

  "The path is one you choose yourself, on the road to becoming a saint, if you can't survive then you're just a dead man." The principal thought to himself.

  "This young man is so confident, no wonder he's the future saint, with a saintly demeanor, this confidence is far beyond us" The crowd of students below thought to themselves.

  A burly man resembling a bear dog couldn't help but say, "His writing is formidable, I don't believe his martial arts are that formidable too."

  A loud crash shook the stage, and a man descended from the sky.

  "Somebody has made a move, let's take a look at Chen Jiu's true nature."

  "Idiot".

  "Is this the legendary outcast?" Chen Jiu thought to himself, unsure whether he was referring to himself or the big man in front of him.

  "Brother Chen, I've come to learn from you your ultimate move."

  "Please," said Chen Jiu, making a polite gesture, without asking his counterpart's name, as it was unnecessary.

  Da Han's body shook, swift as a hunting leopard, and he pounced towards Chen Jiu, his hands shaped like eagle claws, emitting a chill aura.

  "Unable to use the art of talismans and curses, I'll see what kind of effect this fierce bull has."

  "Wild Bull Horns" Chen Jiugong stepped forward and with just one punch sent the big Han flying out.

  "This mighty cow is indeed extraordinary, with the support of countless wealth, Chen Jiu exchanged countless spiritual medicines, and with the massage of Zhao Xiao Yu's meridians, Chen Jiu has already reached the sixth level of martial body, the next step is to comprehend his will."

  "This guy is at least on the same level as me, but I didn't expect him to be unable to withstand a single blow from me."

  Looking at the man who had fallen to the ground, many people below couldn't help but take a cold breath. They were on the same level as him, and if they went up, wouldn't they also become cannon fodder?

  "Awesome Bull Power is indeed extraordinary". Chao Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement: "Looks like I need to find an opportunity to poach Awesome Bull Power over here".

  "Brother Chen, let's begin!" A young man, light as a swallow, landed on the stage with a long sword in hand.

  To Chen Jiu, the person in front of him had an impression, was a student in Class A like himself.

  "Brother Liu" Chen Jiu also paid his respects.

  "You're good with a long sword, Brother Chen won't mind, will he?" The young man said, stroking his long sword.

  Chen Jiu smiled: "I also had a period of time practicing sword, now although rusty, but accompanying Liu brother to play is no problem".

  "After finishing speaking, he looked at Chao Xiaoyu and said: 'Lend me your sword for a moment'."

  "Are you okay?" Chao Xiao Yu asked suspiciously.

  Chen Jiu rolled his eyes: "Just give me the sword".

  He tapped his long sword and Chen Jiu let out a soft sigh: "Good sword, good sword".

  The young man drew a sword flower: "In this way, I am not taking advantage of Brother Chen either, please".

  A flash of "hum" light, and the long sword was already at the young man's throat.

  "Alright, Liu brother," Chen Jiu said with a smile as he sheathed his long sword.

  Below was a burst of noise, and this Liu brother was also considered famous among the crowd, but before he could even make a move, he had already been pinned to his throat by Chen Jiu's long sword, which was absolutely unthinkable.

  The young man stood on the stage in a daze, his face showing an expression of incredulity: "Impossible! You haven't grasped the momentum, I've already grasped the momentum and willpower, how can you be my opponent?"

  " Aura, willpower, the power of heaven and earth, what's the use? As long as your sword is fast enough, it doesn't matter if the opponent understands anything or has any strength. Before they can even react, before you make a move, you can turn them into a corpse. What's the use of aura and willpower then? Being able to make a move, being able to kill the enemy, that's the true way of the king." Chen Jiu's voice was very light, but everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

  The young man furrowed his brow, and then suddenly enlightened: "Brother Chen is indeed a sage, this statement is too correct. As long as your own speed is fast enough, no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as you can rely on speed to kill them before they make a move, even the most powerful moves are useless, thank you Brother Chen for pointing this out, I am convinced and admit defeat".

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and jumped off the stage, waiting for the next match.

  After a brief silence in the field, a sturdy young man walked out: "Brother Shifu, I am Wang Mao, a student of Class B, please advise me."

  "You flatter me, but are you empty-handed?"

  "Senior brother's sword is too fast, junior brother knows he's no match, so he deliberately comes empty-handed to ask for guidance."

  Chen Ji's palm shook, and his long sword had transformed into a whip-like sword, inserted into Chao Xiao Yu's scabbard: "Alright, make your move."

  Wang Mao faced Chen Jiu and didn't dare to be careless, directly using his killing move, wanting to overpower him with force, one move to defeat ten wills.

  As he gazed at the incoming palm, Chen Jiu suddenly felt his entire body being locked down by a strange and mysterious power. The palm in front of him transformed into an enormous bear's paw that obscured the sky and sun, pressing down on him with overwhelming force.

  "Is this will?" Chen Jiu asked himself.

  What is the will of martial arts, it is the clarity of martial arts, to feel the momentum, each has its own momentum, and only by feeling this momentum can one communicate with heaven and earth, temper bones, and borrow the power of heaven and earth to attack the enemy.

  Under the guidance of this force, Chen Jiu's eyes closed, carefully sensing the wild aura in his body, and the figure of the Wild Ox reappeared in his mind.

  The momentum of the wild bull, the wild bull is one of the most powerful races in the world, absolutely not afraid to resist with force.

  A wild and violent aura burst out from Chen Jiu's body, causing the burly young man to stumble backward more than ten steps, almost falling down onto the ground below.

  "You grasped the aura, but what kind of aura is this? You're actually suppressing me to such an extent!" Wang Mao couldn't believe that Chen Jiu had managed to comprehend it on the spot.

  "There's nothing that can't be done, let's fight again!" After saying this, Chen Jiu's aura was released once more, and his right fist lightly punched towards Wang Mao.

  "Bang Bang Bang" In Chen Jiu's seemingly light and fluttering fists, Wang Mao retreated step by step. After the sixth attack, Wang Mao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell outside the ring.

  Strong, too strong, this is everyone's only thought on the scene.
