High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 25 Thousand Armies Spears

On the podium, Wu Shangfeng watched as all the students confirmed their weapon choices in front of their seats. He nodded, a satisfied look on his face.

"very good."

His voice echoed in the martial arts room, “Choosing is only the first step. Next, I will select the most suitable and matching ‘killing method’ for each of you based on your physical condition and the weapon you choose.”

With a wave of his hand, a human data collection platform emitting a soft white light rose from the open space in front of the podium.

"Now, I will begin taking attendance. Students whose names are called, please come forward."

"Shi Potian".

The first name was the one who was recognized as the strongest in the class.

Shi Potian stood up from his seat, walked expressionlessly to the podium, and stood on the data collection platform.

Wu Shangfeng walked to his side, his movements professional and meticulous.

He first had Shi Potian assume several basic standing postures, carefully observing his center of gravity and power exertion habits.

Then, he reached out and started pressing and touching Shi Potian's shoulders, moving down his arms, spine, hips, and legs.

His fingers, like the most precise scanner, sensed the explosive power of every muscle in Shi Potian, the density of every bone, and the flexibility of every fascia.

The whole process lasted less than a minute.

Wu Shangfeng withdrew his hand, walked to the holographic screen on the podium, and rapidly tapped his fingers on it.

"Your body possesses both strength and speed, a stable core, and excellent coordination. You chose the sword, pursuing the most direct lethality. This book, 'Ninefold Thunder Blade,' is very suitable for you."

He dragged a virtual cultivation manual from the light screen and teleported it in front of Shi Potian.

"The Ninefold Thunder Blade is known for its speed, ruthlessness, and precision. Every move is fatal, and it emphasizes ending the battle in the shortest amount of time with the force of a thunderbolt. Take it and practice it well."

"is teacher."

Shi Potian took the manual, nodded slightly, and turned to walk off the stage.

"Next up, Qian Duoduo."

Qian Duoduo ran up there excitedly.

Wu Shangfeng also conducted a detailed physical examination on him.

"Your lower body is extremely stable, and your bone density far exceeds that of ordinary people. You are a natural-born candidate for training in heavy weapons." Wu Shangfeng gave his evaluation after looking at the test data. "You have chosen the hammer, and this book, 'Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique,' is the perfect choice for you. This technique is expansive and powerful, using brute force to overcome all techniques. When mastered to a high level, it possesses the power to shake mountains. The drawback is that it consumes a great deal of energy. With your physique, you can perfectly compensate for this deficiency."

"Thank you, teacher! Hehe!"

Qian Duoduo happily ran back, clutching the thick "Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique" manual.

One student after another was called up to the podium.

Wu Shangfeng demonstrated his amazing professional competence as a top-notch martial arts high school homeroom teacher.

He could always pinpoint each student's physical characteristics and match them with the most suitable killing method.

Whether it's mainstream weapons like swords, spears, and halberds, or less common ones like whips, ropes, hooks, and claws, he can handle them all with ease, as if they were his own treasures.

"Next up, Qin Feng."

Finally, it was Qin Feng's turn.

He stood up from the back row and walked steadily onto the data collection platform.

Wu Shangfeng's gaze fell on him.

This time, the testing took longer than for anyone before.

He not only carefully touched Qin Feng's bones, tested his muscle flexibility and arm span, but also had him demonstrate the complete movements of the Elementary Body Tempering Method to observe the flow and transmission of power throughout his body.

After a long while, Wu Shangfeng withdrew his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He walked to the screen and kept filtering and comparing on it with his fingers, as if he was making some kind of difficult choice.

Ultimately, he chose the most ancient and complex-looking manual from the list of gun-based killing techniques.

"Your body is very special."

Wu Shangfeng looked at Qin Feng and said in a low voice, "He may seem frail, but his foundation is exceptionally solid. His flexibility, coordination, and explosiveness are all in a near-perfect balance. You chose the gun, and I originally wanted to choose a gun technique for you that specializes in speed or strength, so that you could quickly develop combat capabilities."

He paused and changed the subject.

"However, that would be a waste of your talent. Your physical condition is sufficient to support you on a more difficult path, but one with a higher ceiling."

He teleported the selected manual to Qin Feng.

On the cover are three simple and elegant seal script characters: "Thousands of Spears".

"The Thousand Armies' Spears".

Wu Shangfeng's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "This marksmanship was not created by a certain expert, but by the Imperial military through thousands of years of interstellar warfare, summarizing, refining, and creating a standard marksmanship best suited for the battlefield environment from countless fierce battles at the legion level."

"Its basic components include all the skills needed to learn spear techniques. Deflect, block, point, horizontal, thrust... encompassing all the fundamentals of spear techniques, combining offense and defense." "In addition, it has three core killing moves."

Wu Shangfeng held up three fingers.

"The first move, 'A Thousand Armies Repel'. This move is expansive and powerful, with unparalleled strength. A single sweep of the spear is like sweeping away a thousand armies, making it suitable for breaking through enemy formations on the front lines."

"The second move is 'Flowing Light Chasing Shadow'. This move is characterized by speed. The spear moves like a dragon, swift as a flowing light. It emphasizes surprise and a fatal blow. It is the best way to assassinate and pursue."

"The third move, 'A Thousand Armies Surrounding'. This move is primarily defensive. The spear thrust is continuous and impenetrable. Once unleashed, it is like a thousand armies surrounding you, making you as solid as a rock, allowing you to remain invincible amidst the enemy's siege."

"Attack, speed, defense, movement, strength, skill... This 'Thousand Army Spear' integrates all the functions that a long spear can perform into a unified whole."

"The spear is inherently difficult to learn, and the Thousand Army Spear is recognized as the most difficult to master among all first-level spear techniques. You need to spend a lot of time to slowly comprehend, learn, and integrate it."

Wu Shangfeng looked at Qin Feng with sharp eyes.

"I'm entrusting it to you in the hope that you won't waste your talent. You have the ability to master it."

He then added, "In addition, you must remember that all killing techniques are divided into five levels: entry level, minor success, major success, perfection, and mastery."

“‘Beginner’ means you have mastered the basic moves of this killing technique.”

"'Small Mastery' means that you can use it skillfully in combat."

“‘Mastery’ means that you have grasped the essence of it and can do it at will.”

“‘Perfection’ means that you have completely integrated this killing technique into your very being, making it as natural as your own arm and as one with the weapon.”

"As for the final realm of 'control',"

Wu Shangfeng's tone carried a hint of longing, "That means you have completely surpassed this killing technique, with a commanding view, and can modify and simplify it at will, and even create your own more powerful killing technique based on it."

Qin Feng took the book "A Thousand Armies' Spears" and nodded solemnly.

"is teacher."

"Okay, let's go down."

Wu Shangfeng waved his hand, "This first killing technique is a free gift from the school to you under your D-level contract. In the future, if you want to learn more killing techniques, you will need to upgrade your contract level, or exchange them with your GPA points."

Qin Feng stepped down from the podium and returned to his seat.

Next, Wu Shangfeng continued to call out names one by one, selecting suitable killing techniques for the remaining students and teaching them.

After the last student received his killing technique manual, the afternoon's martial arts class came to a close.

Wu Shangfeng straightened up and looked around the entire venue.

"Alright. I have taught you all the body-strengthening methods, meditation methods, and killing techniques. As your homeroom teacher, I have done what I should do."

A meaningful smile appeared on his face.

“Starting tomorrow, apart from the one practical class I personally lead each month, all the rest of the time in this classroom will be your free time.”

"In other words, self-study."

These words, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a storm in the hearts of all the new students.

Studying on your own?

Qiming No. 1 Martial Arts High School actually makes students study on their own?
"I know what you're thinking."

Wu Shangfeng seemed to have anticipated their reaction. "You think that once you enter a top-tier martial arts academy, famous teachers will be following you around every day, teaching you step by step? Dream on."

He sneered.

"Here, no one will force you to cultivate. If you want to learn, practice on your own. If you want to improve, find the methods yourself. The school provides top-notch resources and platforms, but how you use these resources is up to you."

"Of course, if you encounter any bottlenecks in your cultivation that you cannot resolve on your own, you can also seek guidance from your teacher. However,"

He then changed the subject, "That's not free. If you want me, or any teacher in the school, to give you individual tutoring and guidance, you can do it by exchanging your GPA."

"Alternatively, strive to improve your contract level. Once you reach a C-level contract, you'll naturally receive one free mentorship opportunity per month. A B-level contract grants three!"

"Finally, let me remind you one more thing."

Wu Shangfeng looked at the school calendar on the wall and said, "Your first monthly exam will be in a month. The top-ranking students will receive a large number of GPA points."

After Wu Shangfeng finished speaking, he ignored the shocked, bewildered, and confused students below the stage, turned around, and left the classroom.

The entire martial arts room fell into a deathly silence.

Qin Feng sat in his seat, engraving every word of his homeroom teacher's words into his heart.

Without a teacher to guide me step by step, I had to rely entirely on myself.

To get extra guidance, you have to work hard, compete, and earn GPA points.

This extreme, competition-centric jungle law made Qin Feng feel a bit of pressure, but more than that, he felt a deep-seated excitement.
