Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

Just as he was racking his brains trying to find compelling arguments to persuade his boss, a familiar voice rang out behind him.

"I think I hear someone talking badly about me."

Jiu Yi's body stiffened.

Ying Qin Guan poked his head out menacingly, staring at Jiu Yi, and said, "Who the hell could it be..."

"Ah..." Jiu Yi was startled by Ying Qin Guan's sudden appearance, but he reacted quickly, forcibly drawing out his voice and turning his subconscious exclamation "Ah!" into a meaningless opening line, "Who could it be... I don't know, but this time, you've really stirred up quite a fuss, they're going to give you a card."

Ying Qin Guan hadn't actually heard anything. After all, he wasn't some eavesdropper who would attach his inner energy to his ears to enhance his hearing when he had nothing better to do. So he was naturally confused by the term "card issuance" and immediately asked, "What card issuance?"

The boss then explained, and then laughed, "As for the assessment, of course we'll skip it; it'll just add to the joke. I can make the decision on this; it's up to you what you think... Shall we issue the card?"

This question was utterly pointless and redundant; there was no reason for Ying Qin Guan to refuse it. However, being a man of pride, he feigned a cough and said, "Ahem... well, of course I don't mind. After all, I'm already a man with a card, unlike some poor souls who don't have any. But to boost the sales of Time-Space Kill, a small contribution wouldn't be a problem..."

What are you talking about contributing?! If you're making it sound so difficult, why don't you let me do it? I'll contribute for you!

Jiu's blood pressure soared as he listened, but he dared not say anything.

This answer was exactly what the boss expected. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright... I'll inform them and have them come over in a few days to sign a contract with you. That will settle things."

Chapter 53 Defeated in One Strike

Generally speaking, it is only possible to reliably 'instant kill' when the strength difference is more than two major levels.

What is a 'flash sale'?

'Crushed with a single blow'.

They couldn't even withstand a single complete move, and were defeated before the first move was even over, losing either their ability to fight or their will to fight.

Normally, only masters at the level of a deity could reliably and instantly kill a first-rate master. In other words, even if a God of War came, it would take several rounds to defeat a super-first-rate master like a Nephalem.

However, among the many powerful figures who were enshrined as gods, there was one exception.

That is Ying Qin Pass.

He is extremely skilled at "instant kills," for many reasons. First, he is the most perfect all-rounder in history, and second, the term "first-time kill" is tailor-made for his style.

The Demon Warrior can be considered a semi-first-time kill class. But when the Demon Warrior encounters the Void Sword, this characteristic becomes child's play. It's like having a gun, and you're holding a water gun, saying that the gun is fast at seven meters and accurate within seven meters, while the other person simply presses the button to launch a nuclear weapon from afar.

When these two collide, it's like shooting water guns into the sky in the last second before a nuclear bomb falls.

boom!!

No one could see Ying Qin Guan's movements clearly. It was as if they were watching a video with rapidly dropping frames. One second Ying Qin Guan was striking a pose, and the next second he appeared behind Darius. People gasped in surprise. Before their brains could process this information, the world before them was like a game with dropped frames, with another frame being "cut off." When they came to their senses, Darius's body landed on the ground with a deafening thud. The arena floor cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures spread for several meters.

Ying Qin Guan still stood there, while Darius... had lost consciousness.

He appeared to have been thrown backwards by Ying Qin Guan, lying sprawled on the ground with his eyes rolled back, having lost consciousness.

This is no small matter; even a martial artist with exceptional recovery abilities would have to stay in bed for a while.

That night, Nocturne came over and talked to Ying Qin Guan for a long time, and Ying Qin Guan could only sigh a few times.

Many people are unaware of the specifics... In fact, the Seven Luminaries Empire did not actually convict Mu Huai Ren. The Empire did not issue an official definition calling Mu Huai Ren a "deserter." Although the fact that Mu Huai Ren was a deserter seems to be beyond dispute, as the "official" body, the Empire cannot arbitrarily define a matter.

However, many people, unaware of the specifics of the matter, have only heard a few words and have come to the same conclusion.

Ying Qin Guan didn't quite understand, but he guessed... this was probably why Mu Nan Dong had gotten into a verbal battle with someone in the newspaper; he himself had suffered greatly from public opinion. Therefore, he didn't want such things to happen again and again.

Three men can make a tiger; public opinion is a fearsome thing.

So Ying Qin came to the pass.

He's not like Mu Nandong, who knows nothing about propaganda warfare. If he's good at anything... that's all he's good at.

But he also understood that this was just venting his personal anger. If he truly wanted to change everything, fists alone wouldn't work. You could beat everyone speechless, but you couldn't stop them from thinking. And what good would that do? Following the rules day after day—no one knew what the end result would be, just like that sudden arrival of the killing machine. So, Ying Qin Pass…

I just live according to my own heart.

He originally wanted to say "Don't talk nonsense" in a cool way when he knocked down his opponent, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

After all, Darius believed that Darius was not talking nonsense.

Ying Qin Guan slowly withdrew his fist.

This should have been a moment of great celebration... but at this moment, the entire arena fell silent.

At this moment, there is only silence, nothing but silence.

Because something beyond human comprehension had occurred before them, they didn't know how to react. So they could only remain silent, waiting to see what would happen next, such as Darius suddenly leaping up and saying, "That move was pretty good..." In that case, everything that had happened before would still be acceptable.

But Ying Qin Guan used the killing move from his own school. Darius was not in full condition, his hand was injured, he had not slept all night, and his energy was insufficient. In addition, the first appearance of the Void Sword was killing... How could he withstand this attack?

So Darius was never able to get up.

Fu Feihan was the first to react. He was extremely quick to learn and was a student of Ying Qin Guan. Because of past events, he didn't have a good impression of Darius, so he was the first to speak up.

"Pretty!"

This beautiful remark seemed to have startled the audience on the sidelines, but no one seemed to have come to their senses; their tone was full of disbelief.

"it's over.."

"One move?!"

"No, wait, what just happened..."

"What school of thought is this? I've never heard of it before."

"This guy... defeated Darius in one move?!"

"Is this for real? If it's real and not an act, with that kind of power, they could probably just go into another dimension and kill..."

—Most people need to accumulate experience before entering the Time-Space Killer, even powerful beings like the Nephalem. But besides those who have reached god-like status, there are many people in this world who debut at their peak and remain at their peak. Among these people, some are indeed able to enter the Time-Space Killer's card pool at a very young age.

"So strong..." Dong Qianlun, like those around him, didn't understand much either. He was still deeply shocked. Ying Qin Guan's strength was generally acknowledged by most of the martial arts teachers within the Imperial Academy. However, it was mostly just hearsay within the Academy, but this exchange...

It seems he's about to become famous worldwide.

Darius is not Jifa; he is much more famous. More importantly, the occasion is different now. Moreover, Simon just tripped Darius, and then he tripped Ying Qin Guan... and it feels ridiculously like a fixed match.

"Hey, Qiu Ming! Did you see that clearly?! So fast! That's amazing! I must learn Teacher Ying's style!" Fu Feihan was very excited, shaking Ju Qiu Ming's body.

".."

Iris still rested her chin on her hand, and the bustling venue did not affect her in the slightest.

"Ah... that was a beautiful win, that's a good thing, Jifa, you're quite lucky. Now nobody cares about Simon's pre-match comments, and the guy who made you look bad, known to everyone from the Royal Court to the City of Truth, has become Darius... maybe Simon should be dragged down with him too?"

"Ha ha.."

"But... really? Can it really be defeated in one move?"

Chapter 54 New Cards

Due to issues with the construction of the magic network, television sets have not yet been made available for civilian use. However, telephones have already begun to become widespread, and as the capital of the Seven Luminaries, known as "half a little black dragon" because of its advanced alchemy, the Seven Luminaries City is naturally the first beneficiary.

Before Ying Qin returned to the Imperial Palace, news of his great achievements had already spread.

"What? Aunt Warner has embarrassed herself internationally?"

"What? Simon was defeated by Darius in just a few moves?"

"What? Darius was instantly defeated by Teacher Ying?"

"Pass it on! Darius was instantly killed by Teacher Ying!"

"Pass it on! Aunt Warner sneaked into the City of Truth and was instantly killed by Teacher Ying along with Darius!"

"Spread the word! Teacher Ying has killed people in the City of Truth!"

"Pass it on! The City of Truth has been utterly destroyed by Teacher Ying!"

"Pass it on! Teacher Ying used Doomsday to destroy the City of Truth!"

"Pass it on! Doomsday used Teacher Ying to destroy the City of Truth!"

"Pass this on! Teacher Ying is doomsday!"

"Pass it on! The case is solved! There is no apocalypse in the world, only Teacher Ying!"

"Pass it on! Doomsday destroyed half of the Black Dragon Empire, and the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin destroyed half of the Black Dragon Empire. Therefore, Teacher Ying is equal to Doomsday, Doomsday is equal to the Nameless Swordsman of Southern Qin, and so on."

"Pass it on! Teacher Ying is the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin!"

When this outrageous information reached the board game arcade, Jiu Yi was so terrified that he repeatedly tried to sabotage himself, then hurriedly ran out to inquire about the situation, only to discover that it was these students who were messing around...

"That was terrifying! What happened? Seriously..."

Jiu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go back to the board game store.

"But after this battle, I will truly become famous throughout the world."

Darius and Nephalem are among the most elite combat talents of their respective nations. They are neither like Fu Feihan, who is still growing, nor like the Sword Saint, who is past his prime. To defeat them with such overwhelming force... to be honest, no matter what means were used to win, they were destined to become famous throughout the world, especially since they won with such overwhelming force.

"Sigh..." Jiu Yi opened the door of the board game shop and just saw the owner put down the phone. He casually asked, "What's wrong, boss? It's rare to see your contact person."

"It's not me contacting people," the boss said with a chuckle. "It's the company that's contacting me."

"Really?" Jiu Yi had no idea how much damage what was about to happen would do to his young mind, and asked recklessly, "What could possibly bother you?"

"Issuing the card, of course," the boss chuckled. "The designer has a very keen sense; he realized Ying Qin Guan is probably a super expert, and since I happen to be here, he asked me if I wanted to send someone to investigate whether he really has that kind of skill..."

Characters like Darius the Nephalem, whose strength has been consistently confirmed through long-term observation and whose reputation has been enhanced, are directly released as cards without further verification. However, characters like Ying Qin Guan, who rose to fame overnight but carry the risk of match-fixing and whose strength is uncertain, will have someone from Time and Space Kill sent to assess their abilities and confirm their willingness to release a card. After all, not everyone wants to be included in Time and Space Kill's card pool.

The main reason is that the instant kill record is too terrifying. If this instant kill record is confirmed, then Ying Qin Guan's status in the martial arts world will be close to that of the middle-aged sword saint.

Even a swordsman in his prime could only defeat Darius within forty moves. As for a one-hit kill... that might happen once in a thousand battles, a rare occurrence in a state of perfect harmony. After all, at their level, they're unlikely to make basic mistakes, because the possibility of being instantly killed by a mistake is extremely low.

Of course, the Sword Saint doesn't immediately play a card upon entering the battlefield. But if someone enters the battlefield as a fully-fledged Sword Saint, then of course they can play a card.

Of course, none of these were the main points for Jiu Yi. The main point was... was Ying Qin Guan going to release a card?

again?!

Jiu Yi: ".."

His face flushed red as he said, "Are you kidding me? He... he only played one match! Isn't that too fast? This isn't good, what if Darius deliberately lost to him... You guys are so careless!"

Jiu was so anxious she couldn't even speak. The feeling of having her life goals accomplished by someone else simply going on a trip was quite unsettling.

However, Jiu Yi was, after all, a cultured man. After the initial fluster, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Ying Qin Guan is a lazy bum who spends all his time playing cards and does nothing. He's nothing but a parasite in the Imperial Academy. As the Dean of the Imperial Academy, I absolutely cannot allow this guy to become a famous general in the Time-Space Killing game. Otherwise, when everyone sees that playing cards all day can be so good, they will all go to play cards, and the harm to teenagers will be immeasurable."
