Just like that, Fang Xingjian's class won two matches consecutively, accumulating six points in the group stages. Together with the other group, Class 248 (the class with the longest time, having cultivated for eight more years than Class 256) and Class 250 (the class with the longest time, having entered the school six years earlier than Class 256), they had also won two matches consecutively, accumulating six points.
Therefore, based on the time spent in the battles and the number of people who had left during the matches, Fang Xingjian's Class 256 and Class 248 (the class with the longest time, having cultivated for eight more years than Class 256) were chosen as the top two, entering the semifinals directly.
Next, Class 250, which was ranked third to sixth, along with Class 252 (Xiu Yi and Renault's class), Class 249 (the class with the second longest time) and Class 254, would have to draw lots for the elimination round.
The remaining three classes with the lowest points would be eliminated in the first round.
Therefore, for the next two days, Class 256 did not have any matches. They only had to wait for the elimination round to end and enter the semifinals of the top four.
During the days when there were no matches, Fang Xingjian would naturally stay in his villa to practice his sword techniques. Of course... there were more people in these two days.
...
On the lawn, Fang Xingjian sat cross-legged on the ground. His body was still automatically circulating the Training and Nurturing sword techniques, while his mind was continuously cultivating the Nurturing sword techniques that he had secretly learned over the past few days.
However, his eyes still glanced at the figure on the grass from time to time.
However, most of his attention was not on it. It was because the sword techniques displayed by the other party were too crude. Even Ogden and Lambert from The School of Sword Arts were much better than this young lady in terms of their level of swordsmanship.
The one practicing her sword techniques on the lawn was Kirst's City Lord's daughter, Lilia.
Early this morning, after delivering a cart of precious materials, she had started practicing her sword techniques under Fang Xingjian's orders.
Today, her attitude towards Fang Xingjian was much more respectful than it had been the day before. It was obvious that she already knew that Fang Xingjian had not only wiped out the Knights of Class 252 in the competition yesterday, but had also displayed a sword technique at the speed of sound, shocking the entire audience.
Therefore, Lilia swung the big sword in her hand with all her might, causing the soil to fly up into the air and the grass and rocks to shoot everywhere, turning the lawn into a mess.
After dancing with all her might for a long time, she ran excitedly to Fang Xingjian, bowed respectfully, and asked expectantly, "Teacher, how's my swordsmanship? What should I do next? "
Fang Xingjian narrowed his eyes and glanced at her. Most of his consciousness was still focused on the Nurturing techniques that he had secretly learned, and he only managed to squeeze out a few words with great difficulty.
"Bullshit."
"Ah!" Lilia pouted and said, "How is that possible? The teacher my father hired for me has always said that I have extraordinary talent, that I'm a genius in martial arts. I'm also very good at fighting! "Saying that, she even clenched her delicate little fists.
Fang Xingjian knew that her teacher was not wrong. It was unknown whether it was because of Kirst's City Lord's good bloodline, or because Lilia had eaten too many heavenly and earthly treasures since young, but her physical attributes were extremely good. She also had an innate specialty called 'Monstrous Strength', which allowed her strength to be maintained at its peak before it was depleted.
This was clearly an extremely outstanding specialty in battle, as it allowed Lilia to maintain her peak condition in battle at all times. Ordinary injuries would not affect her at all.
However, it also allowed her to unleash her full power in every move and stance, greatly affecting her practice of martial arts.
Of course, her talent in sword arts was already very poor. It was also because the levels of her skills were too low that she could not pass the Knight examination, and had been stuck at level 9. She had even decided not to participate in the Prefectural Selection for the past few years.
But no matter what, she was still a genius who had over 35 points in strength and physique at level 9. In terms of attributes, she was even stronger than Kaunitz back then.
Therefore, hearing Lilia's words, Fang Xingjian shook his head, not bothering to argue with her. He grabbed her hand and led her to perform the Nurturing techniques she had just performed.
In the process of Lilia's sword practice, he had actually managed to learn all four sets of Nurturing techniques she had been cultivating. This was the result of him taking a few glances at them. It was obvious that Fang Xingjian's talent had become increasingly terrifying as his abilities continued to increase.
Lilia's hand was held by Fang Xingjian, and she performed her sword techniques under Fang Xingjian's guidance. From time to time, Fang Xingjian would slap on her back, shoulders, thighs, calves, or hands and feet.
Her stance and energy circulation were constantly being adjusted. At the same time, Fang Xingjian said in her ear, "This Nurturing technique of yours is extremely tough and yang, a top-notch sword technique that trains your bones and stimulates your blood marrow. But it's because of this that you cannot make a single mistake in your stance. "If not for the fact that you've eaten too much good stuff since you were young, you would have lost your vital energy and blood long ago."
As he spoke, Fang Xingjian continuously used body language to correct Lilia's movements. After a set of sword techniques was completed, Lilia's face was flushed red and her eyes were dizzy. She kept thinking in her little head, 'What's going on? Why does my body feel so comfortable and hot when Teacher guides me in sword practice?'
However, when she looked at her Stats Window, she immediately became excited again.
"Amazing! After a round of practice, my proficiency is two times higher than before," Lilia said excitedly. "Teacher, you're amazing!"
"If there's any effect, go and practice." Fang Xingjian had already sat down cross-legged once again and started to practice his sword techniques. "Practice until I tell you to stop."
"Alright!" With that, Lilia started to work hard on her sword techniques as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
As she worked hard, the 'monstrous strength' in her body was unleashed, and the lawn in the surroundings instantly suffered even more damage.
And with this guidance, Fang Xingjian realized that the level of his sword arts had actually increased.
The Nurturing sword techniques that he had secretly picked up during this period of time actually increased in the process of his guidance to Lilia.
And with the improvement of his Nurturing sword techniques, the Stats Window which had been blurry for the past few days suddenly became clear. Although he was still unable to see the full picture, he could tell that this specialty was formed from four words.
'This specialty... Does it require my sword arts level to be higher? Higher? Or could it be... Because I gave Lilia guidance earlier? 'Fang Xingjian thought,' I wonder what kind of specialty it will be. '
Just as Fang Xingjian was deep in thought, Anthony and Jack arrived at the villa. Looking at Fang Xingjian, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, and Lilia, who was crazily practicing her sword techniques on the lawn, hesitation appeared on their faces.
In the end, it was Jack who was more thick-skinned. He stood out and said, "Xingjian, I heard that you're giving guidance to this young lady in sword arts? Look, we've known each other for so long. Can you give us some guidance in our cultivation? Although we don't practice sword arts, the path of Nurturing has the same principles for the maintenance of one's body. "
They had truly been amazed by Fang Xingjian's performance in the past two matches. Therefore, they wanted to learn from Fang Xingjian. Even if they could only achieve 1% of what Fang Xingjian had achieved, it would still be a huge improvement.
Looking at their expectant gazes, Fang Xingjian opened his mouth, wanting to reject them. Anthony and Jack did not have the Headmaster's recommendation, nor did they have a rich father like Kirst's City Lord to give them a gift to acknowledge them as their master.
However, thinking of the specialty that had become clearer after giving guidance to Lilia earlier, he was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Then let's do it together."
