You said you would practice martial arts. Have you mastered the Tiangang Dharma?

Chapter 42: Doing the Best

It was morning again. Jiang Qiu walked out of the shantytown on the stone road and headed towards the No. 8 Middle School's excellent training hall, thinking about his next plan along the way.

Since ancient times, once the spear has entered the path of mastery, previous training can no longer improve it, as if ordinary training and killing have reached their limit, and another way must be found.

But now I can't find a way to continue improving my ancient martial arts spear skills. In the next two months, I can only spend more time strengthening my body.

The only ways to strengthen the body are to take a Wusuxiang herbal bath or to practice spear training using the Zhoutian Qi Jue. The former is rare, and the latter is relatively inefficient.
"Hello, Brother Jiang!"

Suddenly, a greeting interrupted Jiang Qiu's thoughts, and he nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

Looking for the source of the voice, I saw the bald man in black shirt, whom I had met a few times.

After a few polite words, they each went to their own place.

Whenever he met a student wearing black shirts along the way, he would take the initiative to greet them, and Jiang Qiu nodded in response.

"drop--"

"Verification passed."

As he stepped into the eighth court with his right foot, a timid voice greeted him: "Hello, Brother Jiang."

"okay."

Jiang Qiu glanced at Hu Yeye who was putting away her gun and wiping her sweat, then walked silently to the weapons cabinet. With a click, the glass door opened and he took out a black-handled rifle.

A cold light flashed across the double-arc-blade spear tip, and the cold spear shaft was held in the palm of his hand.

The newly replaced gun barrel in the armory weighs fifty kilograms. It is hard and slightly tough. It feels heavy and substantial.

With a flick of his wrist, the entire spear began to roar, the sound like a dragon howling in an empty valley.

Swah——

He casually performed a gun flower around his back, as if a phoenix was flying to the right side of his body, and his strength was transformed into a circle.

Not far away, Hu Yeye paused as she wiped the back of her left hand across her face, her peach blossom eyes widening in silence.

Those two seemingly casual dances condensed the essence of ancient martial arts spearmanship and the master's own understanding. They were domineering and sharp, yet soft like a coiled dragon, with no intention of killing.

This wonderful feeling has an official name in martial arts: gun feeling.

When the spear is practiced to a certain level, the spear becomes an extension of the arm. There is no need to memorize basic moves and the spear tip can be wielded freely and retracted at will.

To be able to achieve this, one needs to practice with a spear for many years, and some warriors have not found the feeling they want in a whole sixty years.

Maybe I'm seeing things wrong. Maybe geniuses like Jiang Qiu who have reached the path of mastery all practice shooting in this way.

Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up and he turned his right wrist: "After having this [Gun Sense], the breathing of the Zhoutian Qi Jue has become smoother."

Swish swish.
For a moment, the sound of gunfire was like the roar of a dragon and the figures were like running wolves.

【.】

Until all the students at venue No. 8 gathered, they all stood in a daze on both sides, no one spoke, their eyes wide open and nodding their heads, their eyes fixed on the double-arc blade gun head, turning left and right, jumping up and down.

Liu Ziri, Wang Guanjia, Zhang Shan and the others had burning eyes, and their fingers holding the guns were beating rhythmically. For a moment, they didn't know what was so good about it, but they just felt something was different.

It's probably like appreciating a Chinese landscape painting, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.

Even Xie Kuang, who was hiding in the corner, lowered his brows, and Jiang Qiu's figure flashed in his dark eyes. The feeling of a gun?

"Whoo~"

After practicing a set of ancient martial arts spear techniques, Jiang Qiu tapped the butt of his spear on the tile with a click, frowned and looked at everyone: "Are you not used to practicing spears on the first day after hunting training? Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing, I just think Jiang Ge is so handsome."

Li Si laughed and interrupted, and several students nodded in support.

Jiang Qiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Of course I know this."

"drop"

"Verification passed."

Wu Shan walked in through the door, his face solemn as a thick cloud dripping with water, and his lonely right eye immediately fixed on Jiang Qiu: "The others are practicing their guns as usual, Jiang Qiu, come out with me, I have something important to tell you."

"okay."

Soon, the glass door closed, and Jiang Qiu and Wu Shan disappeared outside. Everyone in the venue suddenly widened their eyes: "Damn, the teacher's expression doesn't look good."

"That shouldn't be the case. Jiang's strength is obvious to all. He is a genius who has already mastered the ancient martial arts spear. He even turned the tide in the secret realm. He would be the top among all the high schools in the outer city. What else could have happened in the school that made the teacher look so unhappy?"

"Is it possible that this is not something that happens in our school?"

In the corridor, Jiang Qiu followed Wu Shan's back, frowning: "Teacher, what happened?"

"You know about the Tianjiao Project, right?"

The sound of a heavy stone fell on Jiang Qiu's head, and his heart was shocked: "I know."

The Tianjiao Plan selected a group of Tianjiao from the outer city and the inner city to train in the military when they were in junior high school. It was a plan specifically for training Tianjiao for Gaoyuan City.

This kind of genius is equivalent to Li Guang who did not drink Shi Yu, Lu Bu who shot the halberd at the gate, Yang Youji who shot an arrow through a willow tree from a hundred paces away, Changsun Sheng who killed two birds with one arrow, and even Xiang Yu who never met his generals.

Those we cultivate are people who will achieve great things in the future.

As for the college entrance examination, they have quite good archery skills and the ability to kill at long distances, so it will be easier for them to score than ordinary candidates.

If one has not mastered the art of spear to a very high level, his performance in the college entrance examination will basically be inferior to that of a person who has mastered both spear and bow.

But the college entrance examination is only two months away. What does that have to do with me?
"At the meeting yesterday, Director Zhao hoped to secure a place for you in the Tianjiao Program. All the hunting teachers involved in the training, including me, expressed their support. After the principal agreed, the application was submitted to the Martial Arts Education Department this afternoon."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiu's pupils trembled and he stared blankly at the broad back in front of him.

The Tianjiao Project, Kyudo, Tianjiao, and additional resources for entering Northwest Wuda University in the future. It is a bright road that does not belong to ordinary people.

There are only two months left until the college entrance examination. Can I really apply for the Tianjiao Program?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiu subconsciously asked: "The application was not approved?"

"No, the results haven't come out yet, but many people in the Martial Arts Department are opposed to this. Moreover, more than ten days ago, No. 1 Middle School also failed in its application for a student who entered the path of mastery at the moment of death during practical hunting training to enter the Tianjiao Program."

Jiang Qiu's heartbeat slowed down and he quietly clenched his fists.

That's No. 1 Middle School, an excellent source of students from the outer city, gathering the best teachers and students, and it's for geniuses who have reached the level of mastery, but the application was not successful.

"I guess the Tianjiao Project is out of my reach, right?"

Jiang Qiu lowered his chin slightly, his eyes as still as a pool.

Maybe for me, being able to get in is a pleasant surprise, and not being able to get in is also common sense.
"No, Director Zhao is still trying to get you help. He has bypassed the Martial Arts Education Department and went directly to the military department to talk to the person in charge of the Tianjiao Project."

Jiang Qiu's heart was moved, and the back of a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses and standing with his hands behind his back flashed through his mind. A belated surge of blood rushed to his cheeks, and he felt slightly numb.

The person in charge of the Tianjiao Project must be at least a major general. It is not easy to approach someone of that status.

Why should I fight for a place in the Tianjiao Program? Even if I don't have the chance to go, I won't lose anything. Now it's Director Zhao who will give me a favor.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiu clenched his fists.

"In Director Zhao's opinion, you are not comparable to the ordinary geniuses in No. 1 Middle School. At most, he learned the ancient martial arts spear techniques taught by his father before he died, which allowed him to survive until the secret realm experts opened the secret realm. He could not protect others at all.

And you, in desperate situation, comprehended your own spear skills and killed the demonic plants, reducing the casualties from a possible total annihilation to the lowest level.

Director Zhao thinks that you deserve the best resources, and that you are qualified to enter the Tianjiao Program in terms of both your character and talent.

Moreover, you have already embarked on the path of mastering the ancient martial arts spearmanship. It is almost impossible to make further progress at this stage. The best way is to enter the Tianjiao program to learn archery so that you can shoot the monsters in the airspace during the college entrance examination.

This is one of the reasons why the Tianjiao Project exists. Students who are proficient in spearmanship must also have a potential talent for archery.

Therefore, I will take you to choose a large bow, and you have to prove to the Martial Arts Education Department and the Military Department that you also have a talent for archery!

It is unrealistic to become proficient in Kyudo in two months, and it is not easy to get started. You should practice as much as possible. I believe Director Zhao will strive for the best opportunity for you. "
