"Number 22! Round Table Sword Society, Loke. "
These numbers had clearly been assigned to each examinee at the very beginning. Of course, as many examinees had already been eliminated in the first stage, the numbers were skipping quite a lot.
With a call, an examinee drew the longsword at his waist, walked up to the seven examiners, bowed, and then started to demonstrate a set of sword technique.
This set of sword technique was complicated, light, and flexible, with the ability to change the strength of one's arm. The demonstrator's foundation was also very solid, and it was clear that he had completely mastered this set of sword technique.
Seeing his performance, the seven examiners each had different reactions. Some nodded slightly, some shook their heads and sighed, and some were expressionless. After the examinee had finished his demonstration, they wrote something down in their notebooks.
Next, the examinees took turns to exchange three blows with the examiners. Two people walked into the examination hall, and the examinees performed the disciple's greeting. The examiners nodded slightly, and then they took the initiative to make their move.
After a round of snatching credit, three moves were over. Loke hung his head dejectedly, as if he was not satisfied with his performance.
Just like that, the examinees took turns to be tested by the examiners, who used the most picky gazes to scrutinize their sword techniques and cultivation.
After the examination, there were some who beat their chests and stamped their feet, while others were overjoyed.
Very quickly, over twenty people had finished this round. The staff member shouted, "Number 801, Tresia Knight Academy, Kaunitz."
"Is that Kaunitz?"
"Tresia Clan's current generation's super genius."
The examinees moved, and in an instant, they started discussing in low voices. Even the seven examiners were smiling and nodding, chatting with each other.
"Oh? This is Tresia Clan's Kaunitz? "
A young Knight in his thirties smiled and asked Huang Lin, "He's Tresia Clan's current generation's pillar. Sir, will you take him in as your disciple? "
Huang Lin, who had remained calm throughout the previous examinations, finally had a slight change in his gaze as he said, "We'll only know after seeing him."
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Kaunitz revealed a confident smile. He had long since gotten used to being in the limelight.
With a clang, his longsword was unsheathed, and Kaunitz demonstrated the Tresia Foundation Sword Technique's moves one after another.
Seeing his set of sword techniques, the examiners' eyes lit up.
"Oh? His organs are vibrating, his four limbs are connected as one, his spine is as powerful as a giant dragon's, and there's also the sound of his heart beating. It's really perfect … "An examiner said," His Tresia Foundation Sword Technique should have been trained up to level 10. No, according to the rumors, he has trained up to level 12. "
"This kid's talent is so high, he will definitely become a Sword Master in the future."
"Not bad, not bad." Another examiner stroked his beard and said in satisfaction, "The Tresia Foundation Sword Technique has extremely high requirements for the five viscera and six bowels, bones, and tendons. Once a mistake is made, not only will the body not be nurtured, it will also damage the foundation. Among the many training techniques, it is one of the most domineering ones. For him to be able to reach this level at such a young age, he really is a genius among geniuses."
"Both his internal and external training have reached a high level. This time around, after he becomes a Knight, he'll probably be able to complete the first transition within a month." Another examiner with a white beard sighed and said, "The Empire will have another rising star."
"Haha, I don't know about the other branches, but for the Sword and Saber branch, it seems like this year's champion will be decided." The young examiner looked at Huang Lin and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"
Huang Lin nodded, and for the first time, a satisfied look appeared on his face. However, he still said, "Let's see how strong he is."
Therefore, after Kaunitz had finished practicing the Tresia Foundation Sword Technique, the seven examiners took turns to test him. They had different personalities and different sword techniques. Some focused on attacking, some on defending, and some on simple exchanges of blows.
After that, as the sword and saber clashed, they could feel the changes in Kaunitz's force. This kind of feeling was even more genuine than just watching.
"As expected, his internal and external techniques have reached perfection."
"I'm afraid there are not many people below Knights who can surpass him in terms of techniques."
"I heard that he has also cultivated The School of Sword Arts' Three Basic Sword Techniques. I'm afraid that he will be able to attain the talent of a Sword Specialist soon."
The last to take the stage was naturally the main examiner, Huang Lin. He did not draw his sword, but stood there casually and said, "Make your move."
"Sir, please give me some pointers." Kaunitz bowed, and the longsword in his hand flashed with electricity. All the muscles and bones throughout his body exploded, and it was as if the surrounding air had been ignited and exploded. His entire body compressed the air, and like a human-shaped Gundam, he thrust out fiercely towards Huang Lin.
The air around him exploded, and the stone slabs under his feet shattered.
The thrust of his sword was like the firing of a ballista. Among the people present, almost only the Knights and a few of the most outstanding examinees could see the trajectory. For people like Lambert and Ogden, they could only hear a loud boom. Amidst the smoke, they saw Huang Lin stretch out his thumb and index finger and gently pinch Kaunitz's longsword in his hand.
Huang Lin's actions were as if he was admiring fine wine or a famous painting. He rubbed the longsword between his fingers, recalling the force of Kaunitz's earlier attack.
"The force is not bad." Nodding in satisfaction, Huang Lin said, "One attack is enough. There's no need for two more."
An excited smile appeared on Kaunitz's face, while the others who had witnessed this scene looked at Kaunitz with envy and jealousy.
In this round, The School of Sword Arts only had Eldest Martial Brother Ogden, Second Martial Brother Lambert, and Fang Xingjian left. The three of them were standing rather close to each other.
Seeing this, Eldest Martial Brother Ogden mumbled, "He passed with just one attack? Seems like Kaunitz will be first in the sword and saber category this time around. I wonder what his ranking will be in the top five? "
With that, he glanced sideways at Fang Xingjian and laughed coldly, "Fang Xingjian, are you still thinking of catching up to Young Master Kaunitz? It's not that I want to nag at you, but a genius like Kaunitz is destined to shine brightly and leave his name in history. It's better for us to maintain a good relationship with him. If he eats the meat, we'll be able to get rich just by drinking some soup. Since you're my Junior, I'm telling you that you'd better apologize to him as soon as possible … "
Second Martial Brother Lambert had a complicated look in his eyes as he sighed in his heart, 'The difference between commoners and nobles … is it really that great? Why do these people have such monstrous talents? I've been training hard since I was eight years old. Apart from eating and sleeping, all I do is practice my sword, not daring to slack off at all. But now, I'm not even half as good as him … '
Fang Xingjian could not be bothered with Ogden anymore. They were not even in the same dimension.
He looked at Huang Lin with a grave expression, 'To be able to borrow Kaunitz's attack without even moving his fingers, and not even using the extraordinary strength of a first or second transition Fighter … How high are Huang Lin's attributes? 100？ 120？”
Fang Xingjian did not know, because that was far beyond the field he was familiar with. He only knew that in a second transition situation, Huang Lin was definitely much stronger than 99% of the second transition Warriors in Demonic City.
Following that, the other examinees took turns to compete. However, none of them performed as shockingly as Kaunitz. Some of them even caused the examiners to shake their heads in dissatisfaction.
"Next, Number 2034, The School of Sword Arts, Fang Xingjian."
Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed as he drew his sword and walked out. However, he still had not decided which set of sword technique to practice.
Kaunitz's level 12 Tresia-Style Foundation Sword Technique had already amazed the examiners. If Fang Xingjian were to demonstrate his own level 20 Tresia-Style Foundation Sword Technique, he would only get an even better result.
Compared to ordinary basic Nurturing techniques, these sword techniques that could nurture the internal organs and improve one's physique were truly profound and mysterious. They would be able to display a higher level of technique. Practicing such internal sword techniques was much more powerful than practicing external sword techniques like the Grizzly Bear Sword Technique or the Eagle Sword Technique.
In comparison, if he were to practice ordinary basic sword techniques, he would be naturally weaker.
However, looking at the seven examiners before him, as well as Kaunitz, Ogden, and Lambert, who were also looking at him, he knew that he could not reveal that he had learned the Tresia-Style Foundation Sword Technique and the other sword techniques that belonged to Tresia Knight Academy.
Although the Nine Yang Divine Sword Technique belonged to The School of Sword Arts, Kyle had not imparted it to him.
Although these few sets of sword techniques were of a high level, they had not been obtained through legitimate means. He could not possibly take them out.
'I'm already in second place in the physical test. Even if I were to only practice basic sword techniques like the Grizzly Bear Sword Technique in this test, I would at most fall behind Kaunitz. I would still be able to get into the top ten.
'Then I can only give up on getting a better result in the second test and fight for a better ranking in the third.'
