20: I was beaten for a whole class. Who can stand this?
Teacher Tian was speechless for a moment, then waved him to sit beside him: "You don't need to go back yet, I have something to tell you."
Tang Gao was a little surprised, but still sat on the wooden chair next to the Class Teacher.
Teacher Tian organized his words and said seriously: "From now on, unless it's a life-or-death battle or a special situation, it's best if you only use half a move."
Half a move means breaking the technique and the Aura, which is the perfect limit of martial combat.
One move, however, is a transformation from martial combat to killing, where one must kill after striking.
Tang Gao nodded: "I had the same intention."
His own strength was too great; half a move was already enough to get a perfect score, so there was no need to be so dazzling as to cause unnecessary trouble.
Teacher Tian patted Tang Gao on the shoulder and smiled: "You're still a student, not a criminal cultivator. I don't want you to kill someone with one move during an exam."
Tang Gao was embarrassed and nodded: "Indeed."
Teacher Tian rolled his eyes: "The 'half a move' I'm talking about includes your stance. Next time, don't use the Killing Technique set; switch to a martial combat stance. Otherwise, anyone will be able to tell you've killed people... You're here to take an exam, not to kill."
Tang Gao was stunned, not expecting to expose himself here: "Okay, I've learned something new."
Teacher Tian said earnestly: "Your half-move is already superior to many students. Learning to moderately conceal your abilities will help you get along with everyone.
Everyone likes to associate with an excellent student, but no one wants to associate with a murderer."
In terms of strength, Tang Gao was very strong. But in terms of knowing how to act and read people, the young man was still a bit naive.
Tang Gao was speechless for a moment, then understood that the Teacher had already, in an invisible way, protected his good image. He sincerely expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Teacher."
"Alright, go play. In the future, unless necessary, it's better not to use your full strength."
Teacher Tian waved his hand, signaling that the young man could go play.
Tang Gao was about to leave but suddenly stopped, curiously asking: "Teacher, how many people saw that I used the Killing Technique just now?"
Teacher Tian smiled: "About one-third of the teachers... Those who have killed before naturally recognized that you used the Killing Technique. Those who haven't probably just thought your moves were sharp and ruthless, and wouldn't think you could kill."
Tang Gao was startled: "One-third of the teachers have killed?"
To be honest, this proportion was quite shocking.
Teacher Tian chuckled: "What, you thought the teachers' boasts about having been on the battlefield and killed were false? Young man, you're still a bit green in terms of experience.
Back then, when the Yao Race invaded, we all personally went to the battlefield to fight. I also cultivated the Killing Technique..."
Tang Gao chuckled, stepped back two paces, and made a face: "Then you also lost just now~ Bye-bye, Teacher!"
After showing off, Tang Gao took off running, not giving the Teacher a chance to explain.
Teacher Tian's face flushed, veins throbbing on his forehead, stammering: "Martial combat isn't called losing... A teacher's business isn't called losing."
Looking up, the mischievous boy had already run almost ten meters away, so Teacher Tian had no choice but to give up.
Teacher Tian raised his hand, looking at his chubby palm which had, unbeknownst to him, developed rough marks, and couldn't help but sigh at the fleeting passage of time.
He was old after all. Even with more experience than in his youth, the speed of his strikes had already slowed down.
Even a slight hesitation would cause him to lose the initiative.
Teacher Tian watched Tang Gao, who was cheerfully chatting with Liu Ren in the distance, a smile on his lips.
The future of this world, after all, belonged to the young people.
On the training ground.
Tang Gao was surrounded by a group of people, who curiously asked what the Class Teacher had said to him. Everyone had only seen Teacher Tian sighing and regretting, followed by an expression of relief.
Tang Gao was stunned: "Relief?"
He turned to look, but only saw the old mischievous man sitting like an old monk, smiling and waving his hand, signaling them to continue the small martial test.
Liu Ren vowed: "Yeah, so what exactly did Old Tian tell you?"
Tang Gao chuckled, hands behind his back, and said profoundly: "Old Tian told me, 'You, young man, are already unrivaled in the world. From now on, you can only use half a move. Don't use your full strength and shatter this land.'"
"Ehh~~~~"
"Shh!!!"
"Brother Tang, you're just bragging!"
Everyone booed, not believing Tang Gao's nonsense at all. Shatter the mountains and seas? Why don't you just make a punch that illuminates the nine continents?
The teachers who had been listening with pricked ears felt even more speechless upon hearing Tang Gao's words, and also felt how abnormal this young man was.
Given Old Tian's personality, he probably only felt that this kid would only need to use half a move to get a perfect score, which is why he gave such a warning.
So strong that he needs to be told to only use half a move, how is that even possible?
Some people get a perfect score because their strength only merits that score.
Some people get a perfect score because the assessment only has that score.
After the excitement, the small martial test continued as usual, but after finishing, everyone would still excitedly chat about the strange event that happened today.
He drew with the elite class's Class Teacher!
Tang Gao's understanding of techniques was simply divine!
Everyone was cheerfully taking the martial test, but only one person couldn't smile at the moment.
Liu Ren's face was pale, his legs trembling, almost wanting to leave: "No, Brother Tang, do we still have to keep training?"
After being knocked down by Tang Gao several times in a row, he couldn't smile at all now.
Tang Gao said seriously: "Your dad gave too much, so I will be strict with you."
If it weren't for the Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique Uncle Liu gave him, he estimated he would have to put in several times more effort to complete the [Blood Rage Servant] mission.
One must be grateful.
Liu Ren was on the verge of tears: "My dad only asked you to improve my written test scores. This martial test... isn't necessary, is it?"
"Heh, I couldn't control your martial test before, but now I can. Both hands must be grasped, both hands must be firm. Attack, quickly!"
Liu Ren had no choice but to brace himself and attack, then was kicked away by Tang Gao.
Tang Gao clicked his tongue twice: "Your footwork is too scattered, your Aura is insufficient, your defenses are wide open. When attacking, you should also reserve three parts of your strength to change moves, to avoid being beaten to death. Then, you can 'ah'."
Liu Ren was dumbfounded: "Ah?"
How come I didn't know I was so weak?
Tang Gao waved his hand: "Continue, train until you can't move anymore."
No matter what, he had to live up to Uncle Liu's heavy investment.
"Insufficient Aura, again!"
"Good at offense, poor at defense, change it!"
"Footwork too scattered, go back and add another hour of horse stance."
"Even a grandma moves faster than you, continue!"
On one side of the training ground, Liu Ren was like a broken rag doll, his eyes brimming with tears as he continuously charged and was continuously countered and knocked down.
Difficult, too difficult!
Having a rich dad is also a mistake!
Dad, you're not acting like a father!
Tang Gao never used Battle Qi from beginning to end, repeatedly knocking down Liu Ren, who kept activating his Battle Qi.
Liu Ren was beaten to the point of suspecting that Tang Gao harbored resentment towards the rich, to be so ruthless.
When the class bell rang, Liu Ren lay directly on the ground, refusing to get up for anything: "I'm not fighting! I'm not fighting anymore!"
Tang Gao was exasperated: "You, young man, you can't even endure this little hardship? How many times have you failed?"
Liu Ren almost cried: "I've been beaten for an entire class! Who can stand that?"
Tang Gao clicked his tongue twice: "You can't even endure this little hardship? Only those who endure hardship become superior."
...Brother Tang, I beg you, class is over, let me rest for a bit."
Tang Gao waved his hand: "Alright, alright, take a break."
