The crowd parted to reveal Sofia, who was giving a lecture at the center.
She raised her head and looked over.
"I heard everything, Nono. You were last year's First Seat. I didn't expect you to change to the Crouched Eagle Talon." Sofia's voice was gentle and pleasant to the ears.
"I joined the Eagle's Nest because I wanted to see more powerful peers. I also wanted to exchange ideas about the theory of the Crouched Eagle Talon," Garon said frankly.
"Of course. Everyone who joins the Eagle's Nest has the same idea. Only through exchange can there be a collision of ideas and progress. Compared to the state of a newcomer, with the experience and techniques passed down from generation to generation, you can truly explore the potential of the training method. "Sofia nodded.
"If you don't mind, I want to go to the Eagle's Nest immediately." Garon said directly. He felt that his foundation was not solid enough and the things in the Eagle's Nest might be able to solve his problem.
Without a solid foundation, it would be extremely difficult to advance to the next level. It would also be troublesome when facing opponents of the same level, especially when facing a direct confrontation of Willpower.
"That's easy." Sofia was also a straightforward person. Although she looked gentle, she was actually swift and decisive. Seeing Garon being so direct, she also showed a slightly relieved expression.
"Peach, please bring Nono to the headquarters. You can look around as much as you want. There are guards in the headquarters. They are all seniors. You can ask them for guidance."
Naturally, the Eagle's Nest treated geniuses differently from normal students. The Eagle's Nest chose to let them develop on their own without much interference. Not only Nono, but there was also the genius Kling Bai, who was one grade above, and the senior Phantom Duncan who had been promoted to the Elite Black-Clothed General. This was a tradition passed down from generation to generation.
"It's your first time entering the headquarters. If you're interested, you can try to challenge the seniors. You can choose one senior to challenge every day. Take note, it's a close combat without using a Mech," Sofia seemed to have seen through Garon's nature. She did not like to beat around the bush, so she went straight to the point.
"Okay."
Garon nodded.
The surrounding students were slightly shocked. Everyone had the right to challenge their seniors. As long as one joined the Eagle's Nest, one's ranking would be determined by one's strength. Challenges were the key to determining one's ranking.
The ranking was not very useful. It was mainly used to allow one to read more of the understanding and thoughts left by the seniors about the Crouched Eagle Talon. Many of those thoughts were left behind by the experts who had practiced the Crouched Eagle Talon in the past, and they included all aspects of this training method. However, if the level was not up to par, there would be side effects and counterproductive effects. It was biting off more than one could chew.
The conversation between the two of them was very brief. Looking at Garon's expression, it was clear that he was very interested in this challenge and enlightenment. Many people could tell that Garon was very interested in the records of the Eagle's Nest. The fact that this training method had been passed down for so many years without being eliminated meant that it had its own unique reasons.
The girl called Peach, who was the cute girl in charge of the newcomers, stood up and led Garon to the nearby carport. A group of students followed them. They were the ones who dared to watch the show. Only a few people stayed behind to listen to Sophia's lecture.
Seeing this, Sophia also sighed. She might as well bring everyone to the carport.
The group boarded the school's tram and left the field, heading towards the Eagle's Nest.
*****
The Eagle's Nest was a medium-sized pure black nest in Blackboard Academy. It looked like a giant eagle's nest, but it was actually made of alloy metal.
The interior was separated into several large spaces. One of them was the training field.
The training field had a white floor and a huge glass ceiling that could be seen through. Currently, the training field was surrounded by students who had stayed in the Eagle's Nest for a while. Many of them were second and third year students. Many of them had their arms crossed as they watched the two people below the field.
Garon was led by Sophia. He was also standing at the side of the field, watching the two people below.
"This is today's battle. Garcia, ranked thirty-second, is challenging Siris, ranked twenty-first," Sophia introduced to Garon softly.
"Looks like these two are very strong. Otherwise, those who were with us earlier would not have found a place to watch the battle," Garon nodded.
"That's for sure. The Eagle's Nest is the gathering place for all the students of the Crouched Eagle Talon Training Method. There are more than fifty Level Five experts. They have all become new instructors or Black-Clothed Generals. Many of them have also been sent out to serve as military generals. They hold important positions in various fields in the Blackboard Region. Although our Crouched Eagle Talon can't beat students of the same level who use stronger training methods, we have the advantage of numbers! " Sophia said proudly, "We can't get a good training method, but the Crouched Eagle Talon is the best training method."
"That's true," Garon nodded.
"There are many geniuses in the Eagle's Nest. Some of them are like you, geniuses who are almost at the level of elite students. You can interact with them when you have time and get to know each other better," Sophia reminded him kindly.
Garon agreed. The battle below began. The two of them stopped talking. Many people around them also lowered their voices and watched the battle carefully.
Clang!
A sound echoed. The two of them below moved violently.
They started with almost the same footwork. Both of their arms rotated and opened wide. At the same time, they swung towards each other. It looked like a normal swing, but in reality, it gave people a feeling of infinite power.
Bam! Both of their arms crossed. They were actually using the same move. They were evenly matched.
"Your Eagle Wing Strike is well trained!" Cyril, who was ranked twenty-first, said loudly.
"This time, I will definitely kill you!" Cassia roared. He stepped forward. His arms were like sharp blades, slashing towards his opponent. His movements were actually similar to those of a true expert who practiced Secret Techniques. He attacked, retreated, and had very few openings.
This made Garon, who was watching from the stands, feel a chill in his heart.
"Every detail of their movements has been carefully calculated using a quantum computer. Any possible openings would be targeted and trained. This is the power of combining high technology with tradition. The biggest benefit you have in the Eagle's Nest is that you can use the inherited martial arts server to simulate and repair your own martial arts. " Sofia explained to Garon. "This simulation uses powerful precise calculations to make up for the biggest possible openings and experience errors in a short period of time. Carrying out the simulated training correctly is equivalent to training hard alone for decades. "
"This requirement is very strict. Not many people can achieve it, right?" Garon asked softly.
"Of course not. In the entire Eagle's Nest, there are only three people who have achieved a hundred percent compatibility with the simulated martial arts. It's not that easy to achieve the best combat style based on the Crouched Eagle Talon. "Sofia looked at Garon in surprise. She didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable.
"The Martial Arts Simulation Server stores all the battle experience, knowledge, and techniques from the time the Eagle's Nest was created. It can calculate the best way to unleash one's strength based on one's physical abilities. Of course, this requires authorization. This technique, which we call the Flawless Martial Arts, requires the member to have a higher authorization. "
"I understand." Garon nodded.
The two of them stopped talking and focused on the intense battle below.
On the training ground below, Garcia was gradually being suppressed by Sirius and was at a disadvantage. Both of them were using Flawless Martial Arts, but he obviously had more openings than his opponent. In a situation where their strength and speed were about the same, it was normal for him to be at a disadvantage.
As if he was dissatisfied with being at a disadvantage, Garcia turned his body sideways and his hands suddenly turned red. It wasn't a swollen red, but a blood-red.
"Be careful! Eagle Fall Kill!! " A distorted Willpower rose from Garcia's body and circled around both of his arms. Like two transparent electric drills, Garcia's arms blasted towards Sirius.
"Secret Willpower Technique? Do you have mine? "Sirius laughed." Ultimate Piercing! "
He pointed his index fingers at Garcia's arms. His fingers quickly turned black, to the point where they looked like coagulated blood clots. Even the air around him was filled with a foul smell.
"Jacia lost," Garen suddenly said from the spectator stand.
"Oh?" Sofia glanced at him. "You have such good eyesight?"
"Going down for the challenge is the fastest way to increase one's ranking and obtain authority, right?" Garon wanted to see what the Flawless Martial Arts simulation room was like. It was his first time seeing such high-tech martial arts training.
"Flawless Martial Arts is very effective in finding your own flaws. Only those who are in the top fifty can obtain authority. Don't underestimate this ranking," Sofia reminded him. "I've taught three geniuses before and they were all as arrogant as you. Joining was like challenging seniors, but many of them couldn't pass the first two rounds."
"It's okay." Garon shook his head. He turned around and walked down the stage. "I'll give it a try."
Not only was he interested in Flawless Martial Arts, but he was also interested in the secret Willpower Technique used by the two of them. That feeling was like using Willpower as an internal force technique in a wuxia novel.
Moves driven by Willpower would be stronger, faster, and more powerful. It could also invade the opponent's body and cause pure physical destruction. He also saw clearly that the two of them could use Willpower to attack from afar, but they didn't do so. Obviously, that method wasn't very advanced.
Garcia was knocked to the ground. His face was red as if he was congested, but it wasn't a big deal. Siris walked forward and pulled him up.
Garon had already walked to the entrance of the arena and was observing the two of them closely.
He couldn't feel anything from afar, but now that he was close, Garon could feel that the two of them were actually Level Three experts! No wonder they were in the top fifty of the Eagle's Nest. They were obviously not ordinary people.
But thinking about it carefully, there were at least hundreds of Level Five instructors in the entire Blackboard Academy. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that there were more Level Three and Level Four trainees. After all, it was the strongest place in the entire Blackboard Region.
The two of them were obviously in their fifth year. They had already passed more than half of the eight-year Blackboard Academy's curriculum, but to be able to reach Level Three was already a good standard.
Ignoring the two of them, Garon walked to the side of the arena and saw a white stone tablet. The top fifty of the Eagle's Nest were clearly engraved with the names of all the people in the Eagle's Nest.
The first one was a person called Seabuckthorn. Her Willpower was Level Five, and she had been in her sixth year two years ago. She should be nearing graduation now.
Sofia also came over at this time. Beside her were a few young people who looked interested. The waves of Willpower on their bodies were exceptionally strong. They were obviously the strongest of the senior students.
"You want to challenge now?" Sofia looked at this new genius student. Geniuses were all the same. He was the same as the two guys she had taught before. When they saw someone stronger, they couldn't help but want to challenge and occupy a higher position.
"Blackboard Academy respects the strong, so it's normal to challenge. Just pick. As long as your name is slightly lit up, it means you're in the Eagle's Nest now. Of course, you have the right to reject being challenged three times a day. Also, if something happens to you, you can't blame anyone. " A young man beside Sofia reminded her softly. He was wearing glasses and looked very gentle.
"I'm Angie Terin, ranked fifteenth. I heard that the new First Seat had joined, so I came to take a look."
"Nice to meet you." Garon shook his hand. "What's the minimum requirement to use the Flawless Martial Arts simulation?" Garon wasn't overly arrogant now. This world wasn't a place where he could just do whatever he wanted. These Willpower experts had sharp minds and strong senses. Their Willpower had all kinds of strange and mysterious aspects, and they could often explode with terrifying power. Under the circumstances where his Willpower wasn't strong enough, it was best not to be too ostentatious.
"Anyone ranked in the top fifty is allowed. Of course, the duration varies. The higher the requirement, the more qualified you are to compete with other departments. How about it? Do you want to go on stage and try? "This guy was gentle and polite, but deep down, he seemed to be a fierce and competitive person.
In other words, Garon felt that all the people who practiced the Crouched Eagle Talon had this kind of personality. They liked to fight and wanted to be stronger.
