Wang Teng spent a lot of effort to convince Hou Pingliang and the rest to accept this fact.
They were worried. As Wang Teng's closest classmates in school, they didn't want him to go to the competition. They didn't want him to be traumatized, which would be detrimental to his martial arts cultivation in the future.
Wang Teng was naturally touched by this. Although his mental age was older than these youngsters, he had gradually gotten used to his current identity and life. Hence, he got along well with them.
Compared to them, they were more worthy of being his friends.
There was no need to wait until the moment of danger. A friend in need was a friend indeed. In an ordinary life, some things were enough to show some things.
After Huanghai Military Academy announced the list of participants, Wang Teng's name was known by many people.
The students were shocked and confused. They knew who Wang Teng was. Even if they didn't know, they could ask around.
The top freshman!
After all, Wang Teng was quite famous in Huanghai.
They were even more shocked and confused. The top freshman was still a freshman. Since when were freshmen allowed to participate in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition?
Why did this feel a little ridiculous?!
The people outside were also shocked by Huanghai Military Academy's decision.
Just like how Hou Pingliang and the rest were paying attention to Capital Military Academy, Jinlin University, and other schools, the other schools were also paying attention to Huanghai Military Academy.
They knew the moment Huanghai Military Academy's list of participants was announced.
The others weren't surprised, except for Wang Teng … Who was he?
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they looked down … A freshman!
Huanghai Military Academy actually sent a freshman to participate in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition?
Could this be any more child's play?
No matter how they complained and felt puzzled, they still investigated Wang Teng's information honestly.
He was the top scholar of Donghai Military Academy. He was a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior and was specially recruited by a few top universities. In the end, he chose to enter Huanghai …
All the information about Wang Teng was placed in front of the various factions. It wasn't comprehensive, but it was all they could find.
"Interesting, but it's not enough!" Some people sighed. They felt that Wang Teng was quite talented, but they didn't think that he was qualified to participate in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition.
Wang Teng had entered the university as a 1-star general, but only one semester had passed. How much could he have improved?
2-star soldier level?
A 3-star soldier-level martial warrior?
A 3-star soldier-level martial warrior was already the limit. It was very difficult.
However, if a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior participated in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition, he would only be at the bottom. What was Huanghai Military Academy thinking?
Many people were puzzled and sent people to investigate Wang Teng, but in the end, there was no result.
…
At this moment, Wang Teng felt a little helpless. Wherever he went, he would be stared at. Those gazes were like flowers that could be seen from his face.
He walked all the way to the Practical Training Building, went up to the fourth floor, and walked into a spacious training ground.
There were a few people standing in the open space of the training ground. Peng Yuanshan and the deans of the five great academies were all present. In addition, there were also ten unfamiliar seniors.
The moment Wang Teng walked in, many gazes turned to him.
"I will feel shy if you all look at me like this!" Wang Teng scratched his head and said shyly.
Han Zhu: "…"
Du Yu: "…"
Ling Zhiming: "…"
Wan Baiqiu: "…"
…
The five deans: "…"
Peng Yuanshan raised his eyebrows subtly and said expressionlessly, "Get over here."
"Coming!" Wang Teng ran over obediently and stood in front of Peng Yuanshan. "President, do you have any instructions for me?"
Peng Yuanshan didn't bother with him. He looked around and said, "Since everyone is here, I will say a few words. The National Number One Martial Arts Competition isn't a small matter. It concerns the reputation of the school. At the same time, it is a huge platform for the various universities to compete with each other. The higher-ups are all paying attention to it. They will evaluate the potential of each university based on their performance in the competition and decide on the allocation of resources for the coming year.
"Therefore, you all must give it your all. This is not only for yourselves but also for the school.
"Do you all understand?" Peng Yuanshan shouted at the end of his sentence.
"Understood!" Han Zhu and the others stood up straight and replied loudly in unison.
Wang Teng stood in a relaxed manner and said in a normal voice, "Understood!"
However, the moment he shouted, it was obvious that something was different.
The seniors frowned slightly and looked at Wang Teng.
Peng Yuanshan glared at him and said, "I know that all of you are confused and even suspicious about Wang Teng's participation. I won't explain anything, but I will give all of you a chance to prove that he is not worthy of participating."
"F * ck!" Wang Teng glared at Peng Yuanshan. 'President Peng, you are causing trouble.'
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Immediately, ten pairs of eyes stared at Wang Teng with inexplicable expressions.
In particular, there was a pair of eyes with deep hostility. It was a young man with a long sword on his back. He had half-long hair and looked very handsome. He walked out and said straightforwardly, "I'm Zhang Fengyu, ranked fifth on the list. The school sent ten people to participate in the martial arts competition. The top five are in the first echelon, and the bottom five are in the second echelon. But because of your appearance, I was squeezed into the second echelon, so I can't live without a fight."
"Is that so? Why don't I give up my spot to you? I'm just going to be a bystander. I'll be in the second group, "Wang Teng said.
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the other fourth-year students changed slightly.
"You … you're looking down on me." Zhang Fengyu narrowed his eyes.
"Stop fooling around. Let's begin," Peng Yuanshan said helplessly.
Zhang Fengyu nodded and unsheathed his sword.
"Hey, hey. Don't be agitated. I'm serious," Wang Teng shouted.
"…"
Without saying a word, Zhang Fengyu stepped forward and swung his sword. The dense sword light instantly enveloped Wang Teng.
"You're serious!" Wang Teng moved slightly and dodged left and right. He easily avoided Zhang Fengyu's attack.
"Zhang Fengyu's swordsmanship is getting stronger and stronger."
The seniors commented silently. When they looked at Wang Teng, they could not help but frown. "But this guy is not simple!"
Wang Teng easily avoided all the attacks. He took a step and retreated lightly to distance himself from Zhang Fengyu.
"Senior, if you really want to compete, I'll do it," Wang Teng looked at his opponent and said with a slightly serious expression.
Zhang Fengyu did not speak. He explained everything with his actions. A powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, and an extremely sharp sword Qi dissipated.
"Fifty percent sword momentum!"
"Zhang Fengyu has comprehended fifty percent sword momentum!"
A few people's expressions changed slightly as they watched the scene unfold.
Would Wang Teng be able to withstand such a heavy blow?
"It's not too late for you to admit defeat!" Zhang Fengyu said lightly.
"Come and try slashing," Wang Teng said with a smile.
Zhang Fengyu's eyes narrowed. He swung the long sword in his hand. A sword light swept across the sky and slashed toward Wang Teng.
Boom!
Facing the extremely powerful sword light, Wang Teng threw a punch. It was only one punch. Then, the sword Qi collapsed and the sword light shattered … All of it disappeared.
Everyone was shocked!
