It was Monday when Lin Xin heard the news. She called Lin Huang during her lunch break.
Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Ring vibrated when he returned to the library after lunch. He immediately turned on the soundproof screen and picked up Lin Xin's video call.
"What's wrong?" What's up? "Although Lin Xin was not staying at home, they had just had dinner together during the weekend. Since Lin Xin was calling him now, it was obvious that something was up.
"Brother, how was your lesson with Class 2 a few days ago?" Lin Xin asked after a moment of hesitation.
"Everything was going well. Didn't you ask the same question yesterday? "Lin Huang thought it was strange.
"I knew it. Those people are just rumors," Lin Xin mumbled.
"What rumors?"
"Someone said that you're going to disqualify Class 2 from the battle drill. I wonder who's so bored to come up with such a lie." Lin Xin felt sorry for Lin Huang.
"Oh, it's not a rumor. It's not a rumor. It's true. "Lin Huang nodded.
"Is it true?!" Lin Xin was shocked. She was speechless. "Brother, what are you thinking?"
"I'm just giving the students a stage mission. They'll be rewarded if they complete it and punished if they don't. It's a normal way of teaching. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. "Lin Huang did not want to explain any further.
"But do you know that you've become the most unpopular teacher among the Year 1 students?" Lin Xin hesitated and decided to tell Lin Huang the truth.
"I know. I've been talking about it in the teachers' group chat." Although Lin Huang had blocked the group chat, he would peek at it occasionally before he slept. He saw that some teachers were talking about it but he did not care. "You don't have to worry about it. Focus on improving your abilities and prepare for the battle drill next month."
Lin Huang spent the next few days as usual. He was not affected by the students' comments at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday afternoon.
Lin Huang did not talk about the theory class. Instead, he brought the students to the battle training ground. Qin Tianxing was worried that Lin Huang would cause trouble, so he followed him to listen.
"Last week, I gave everyone a task. Now that a week has passed, I want to test everyone's cultivation results in this class." Lin Huang's gaze swept across the crowd. Some students had obvious provocative expressions on their faces, but Lin Huang chose to ignore them and continued, "According to your student number, from number one to number fifty, begin the drill in turn."
"Number one, Yu Yang!"
A young man who was about the same height as Lin Huang stood up. Lin Huang moved aside and nodded at him. "Now, let's begin your drill!"
Yu Yang took out a saber from his storage space and began to practice.
He performed this set of saber skills quite smoothly, and there were no deviations.
Lin Huang remained expressionless while Qin Tianxing, who was standing behind the students, frowned.
Yu Yang seemed to be proud of himself after he performed the set of saber skills. He sheathed his saber and turned around to look at Lin Huang.
"You're not qualified. Next!" Lin Huang did not even look at him and put an 'X' on the projected name list.
Many of the students were shocked to hear Lin Huang's comment on Yu Yang. Many of them were confused.
"Sir Lin, I'd like to know what's wrong with this set of saber skills?!" Yu Yang, who had always been proud, could not accept such an outcome. The student number of each class in the Martial Arts Academy was arranged according to the student's score. He was the student with the highest score in Class 2, and he was only one point away from entering Class 1. He thought he was the best in Class 2, but he did not expect the teacher to give him a failure.
"Alright then. Since you want to know, I'll explain to you in detail." Lin Huang then lifted his head to look at Yu Yang. "If I'm not mistaken, you've only practiced this set of saber skills for less than five hours this week, including the two hours that I taught you last week. To be exact, you've never put in the effort to practice it. You've only learned the movements of this set of saber skills, and you think you can get away with it. You even thought you're smart enough to change the way you connect the movements to make them look better. "
"The set of saber skills that I've taught you is called Eight Forms of Sanguinity. What's the one that you're practicing called? Prom Queen?!" Lin Huang scolded.
Some of the students could not help but cover their mouths and giggle when they heard the words' Prom Queen '. However, Yu Yang's expression was extremely grave.
"Eight Forms of Sanguinity is a saber skill for killing. What you've practiced is just for show. You haven't even grasped the slightest bit of this saber skill. I don't even feel the slightest murderous aura. Anyone who has really put in the effort to practice this set of saber skills, even if they're students from second-rate colleges, can practice it better than you in a week. "
Lin Huang's words made Yu Yang speechless because Lin Huang's words hit the nail on the head. Indeed, he had not spent much time on this set of saber skills this week. He thought that he had learned the movements of the saber skills and added some of his own ideas to slightly change the connecting positions to make the saber skills smoother. He thought that he could fool Lin Huang, but he did not expect that Lin Huang would see through him.
"Next! No.2, Gong Ning! "
A moment later, No.2 finished practicing the set of saber skills and stood there anxiously.
"Unqualified, next!"
This time, No.2 didn't say anything and went back to his original position obediently.
Soon, No.3 went to practice.
"Unqualified, next!"
"Unqualified, next!"
"Unqualified, next!"
…
An hour later, all of the students were done with their practice. Lin Huang frowned while Qin Tianxing did not look too good. The students were too naive about Lin Huang's request in the previous lesson. Not many of them really put in the effort to practice.
"I'm not satisfied with your performance today. Out of the 50 students, only three of you put in the effort to practice. I'd like to ask the rest of you, where did you spend your time this week? Didn't you practice for three hours every day?! "Lin Huang reprimanded the students with his hands behind his back. "I've only given you guys a simple task to practice your saber skills, but you guys fooled me. I'd like to ask you guys, three years later, when you join the Hunters' Association or the Coalition government, will you still be fooled by the task?! On a real battlefield, your negative attitude will not only get you killed, but it will also get your teammates killed. Even the entire team might be wiped out because of your fooling around.
"Also, don't think that I'm just trying to scare you guys when I said I'd cancel the battle drill last week. If you guys can't meet my expectations in the fourth week, I'll definitely cancel the battle drill on the fifth week! Moreover, I'll assign new tasks to you guys next month. Those who didn't complete the first task on time will have to complete the first one before you can accept the new task. The new task has a deadline of three weeks. Those who can't complete it on time will have their second battle drill canceled! The same goes for the third and fourth months.
"If someone delays the first task for too long, causing them to be unable to complete the subsequent tasks on time, I'm sorry, but I'll cancel all your battle drill chances. In that case, I'm sorry, but I'll cancel all your combat drill opportunities. Then, your total score for the entire semester's combat drill will be zero! "
