Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

White Wolf was already familiar with the bureaucrats' "class qualification theory".

Although Fang Chi and Cen Feiyu probably spoke up for them.

But now it seems that the value of the Heavenly River Sword Manual is beyond what they expected.

He took the longsword and asked sternly, "But what about you? You acted first and reported later, and those people didn't hold you accountable?"

"Let them investigate! Guess why the Heavenly River Sword Manual is with me?"

Song Rui smiled, then drew his longsword.

At the same time, the frivolous expression on his face completely disappeared.

At first glance, one might mistake him for someone who also practices the Cleaving Osmanthus Technique.

But he could still speak: "Have you ever used a sword?"

"I've used it, but I don't know how," White Wolf answered honestly.

"The sword is double-edged, but its killing power is primarily derived from thrusting..."

Song Rui didn't care about anything else, and after saying a few words, he went straight into the Heavenly River Sword Manual.

"The Heavenly River Sword Manual emphasizes using points to lead to lines, and lines to lead to surfaces. Before drawing the sword, one uses mental techniques to stimulate the five senses to perceive the spatial environment..."

"...When launching the attack, the sword intent locks onto the target, and the sword path must be fast, accurate, and ruthless."

"Hesitation leads to inferior swordsmanship..."

The white wolf frowned.

He felt as if countless pieces of knowledge were rushing into his head like piranhas, devouring his pitiful brain.

Although Song Rui explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, many things were still beyond the comprehension of the brain.

What's really amazing is that, with 20 times the comprehension, he can still clearly know how to use it.

Even White Wolf found it absurd that someone could be described as "knowing what but not why."

He endured the waves of dizziness in his head, and the longsword in his hand seemed to suddenly come alive.

"Clang!"

With just one sword strike, Song Rui's sword snapped in two.

If Song Rui hadn't been so unreasonable, grabbing the sword tip with his left hand, it probably would have even stabbed him.

"Wow! You're smarter than I thought!"

Song Rui's eyes were full of surprise.

He originally only wanted to teach Bai Lang some basics today, to give him a glimpse into the Heavenly River Sword Manual.

In this way, when the leaders ask about it later, after learning the established fact that "White Wolf has already learned it," they will generally just go with the flow and distribute the reward according to the original plan.

Once things calm down, I can teach the rest myself gradually.

Unexpectedly, this guy's comprehension was much stronger than I had imagined, and he actually managed to get the hang of it.

In this way, the last loophole was plugged.

Otherwise, he would have to worry that some old-fashioned martial arts expert might see through the truth and forcibly issue a ban midway.

Song Rui's interest was greatly aroused, and he directly forced the entire Heavenly River Sword Manual into the white wolf's head.

Both of them had practiced the Shui Mu Yun Yang Gong, and their recovery speed was extremely fast.

So one of them studied and the other taught, and they persevered from 6 a.m. all the way to work the next day.

"Alright, you've mastered it all. Only proficiency and the cultivation of sword energy remain. The Qi cultivation part of the Heavenly River Sword Manual is slightly weaker than Gale and Rain, so you can directly use Spiral Penetrating Force instead, which has a stronger burst of power."

Song Rui scratched his head.

After nearly a day of training, his full head of red hair was tangled and all fell down.

The white wolf is alright.

After Lu Hao chopped off his hair, Li Qi simply shaved it into a buzz cut for him.

Despite being covered in sweat, he still looked handsome.

White Wolf glanced at the semi-transparent light screen in front of him:

[Secondary Cultivation Technique: Heavenly River Sword Manual Level 1, 3.5/12]

[Upon reaching level 3, you will gain the special ability: Sword Aura Like Stars!]

[Temporary Buff: Comprehension increased by 2000% with 9 hours and 42 minutes remaining]

With someone teaching you step by step, and your comprehension improving, your experience grows rapidly.

However, White Wolf could tell from the experience requirements that mastering this sword technique to its fullest extent would likely require a considerable amount of time and effort.

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask you something. You said before that Gale and Rain and Purple Thunder Hand Blade are a good match... I'd like to ask where they match?" White Wolf asked.

Song Rui listlessly flipped open the notebook: "Nonsense, wasn't this all you had back then? What trashy swordsmanship! Throw it away and switch to the Heavenly River Sword Manual..."

Suddenly, he yelled into the microphone, "Seriously? You guys have been fighting all night and haven't backed down?"

White Wolf really wanted to say, "Can't we just get together?"

As more and more people gathered in the testing courtyard, he remembered that he also had to attend a refereeing class, so he quickly ran away.

……

Referee theory classroom.

Since the theory has already been explained, now it's time for self-study, which basically means letting the referees chat amongst themselves.

The six students from Class Yichou gathered together again.

White Wolf recounted what happened last night, letting everyone know in advance that the promised rewards might be subject to change.

"Surely not? I saw a bunch of people suddenly appearing in the family compound practicing swordsmanship; they're probably all preparing to master the Heavenly River Sword Manual. Why are they blocking us instead of them?"

Lu Kui sneered.

The white wolf ate a steamed bun and drank soy milk in one gulp, barely having time to speak.

"Those are all veterans with high achievements and points. Of course, we hope the threshold is high, preferably only they can cultivate." Jing Xi shook her head.

"How is that possible? I see many young people!" Lu Kui said, expressing his disbelief.

Jing Xi glanced at him: "Some leaders are in poor health. But they've made so many contributions; shouldn't their children inherit those achievements?"

"cut……"

Lu Kui really wanted to say no.

But his merit of "bearing virtue on the fertile soil" is also inherited from his ancestors, so he doesn't have the confidence to say that.

After finishing the breakfast that Li Qi had brought for him, Bai Lang noticed the awkward atmosphere and casually changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, where are the Thorn Sect and the Sorcery Sect monks? Don't we need to learn control spells?"

As a cultivator who had reached the maximum level of the Shui Mu Yun Yang Gong, Bai Lang already knew the level of most high school students.

Let alone three referees, he alone is enough to suppress two noobs.

On the contrary, White Wolf had no idea how the cunning witchcraft faction and the thorn faction, with whom they were irreconcilable, fought.

"Oh, they're on the other side." Ji Huaiguang pointed to the side, "Their side is mainly handled by the six students from Class A, it's different from us."

"Can we see?" the white wolf suddenly asked.

The six people looked at each other.

They were all young and curious, and since the instructors hadn't given any orders, they slipped out the back door and rushed over.

……

The "senior referees" were practicing in a stadium.

The six of them secretly ran up to the second floor, only sticking their heads out to look down.

The white wolf only saw a golden light.

Jingxi explained to everyone: "The cultivation of the Divine Hymn is similar to a fund. Normally, most of the results of each person's cultivation flow into the 'Heavenly Kingdom,' and during battles, the power is allocated according to the user's authority."

White Wolf narrowed his eyes: "So what appears to be a one-on-one fight is actually a group attack from behind?"

"Pretty much. On the arena, the Thorn Faction has a very high winning rate... They also like to use this method to resolve disputes," Jing Xi sighed.

Ji Huaiguang clicked his tongue: "That's why they expanded so quickly. After all, those who didn't join are just like those below, suffering terribly."

The sorcerers on the arena fared poorly.

Even though this was just an exercise and everyone was acting as referees, the Thorn Faction still didn't hold back.

Before the wizards could cast any spells, the priests rushed forward and attacked fiercely with their fists and feet glowing with golden light.

White Wolf saw that on the arena closest to him, a young wizard had his leg broken by being stepped on.

That muffled thud was enough to turn a good student pale.

But the thorny priests didn't stop; instead, they relentlessly attacked this weakness.

Li Qi felt a little sorry for them: "Isn't it a bit much? Why aren't our people doing anything about it?"

They saw three young men, clearly from the East District, laughing and joking together.

The one in the middle was even playing on his phone and didn't step forward to separate the two fighting.

"Because they didn't call a halt. According to our superiors, we should try not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Nanyang region. Anyway, they'll go back after the martial arts competition ends."

Jingxi also frowned.

The white wolf squinted its eyes.

He noticed that there was no hatred in the young wizard's eyes, only a strong sense of death.

White Wolf couldn't understand that look in his eyes.

He only sensed something ominous.
