Chapter 42: There are no failures in the dictionary
Essentially, the Outer Heaven Sword Spirit is a person who has love in his heart and is willing to spread true love.
His love for kendo has been going on for 50 years as a human being, and now he has spread this love to more people, so that many people in the Kendo team of the academy who are prejudiced against kendo have ignited their love for kendo.
Looking at the monks who were showing off their swordsmanship outside the Unreal Arena with great interest, Zhao Shenlu sighed and said, "Alas, I originally planned to show up to help when you were struggling with how to deal with this group of fools, and then take the opportunity to ask you to agree to a few requests from me, but now it seems that there is no play." β
Zhao Shenlu deliberately put on a posture of Yixingshan, and seeing that Wang Jiu didn't react unexpectedly, he waved his hand at him, "Okay, I'm going to help you train the other four groups of people next, just go first, call me at any time if you have anything." β
After sending Zhao Shenlu away, Wang Jiu's attention returned to the members of the sword group, and then immediately saw hundreds of pairs of interested eyes.
"Dean, there is still time to spare, can you ......?"
"I don't remember the deconstruction of a few sword marks just now, can you please show me again......
For a while, they were gossiping and scrambling.
Wang Jiu understands very well the mentality of these people who are happy after trying Bliss for the first time.
At that time, when he was still ignorant of his sanity, he experienced the truth of kendo in the sword pool, and the wonderful taste of immersion in truth was deeply imprinted in his heart, so that in the next 50 years, nothing could shake his pursuit of kendo.
But this is only his personal experience.
Judging from Wang Jiu's observations of other human beings, his experience is irreproducible. Even if someone is also inspired by the truth of kendo in the sword pool, he has developed an attachment that will last throughout his life. But it is no longer possible to have the same kendo talent as him.
Human beings are creatures that can easily divert their interests, whether it is the dreams of childhood, the aspirations of teenagers, or the passions of youth...... can't stand the wash of time and setbacks.
It's easy to love kendo, but it's hard to maintain it, when they find that they don't have enough talent, when they find that they don't get a lot of effort in return, when they go to the battlefield with a sword and can't defeat their opponents...... The passion for kendo is destined to be curtailed.
Wang Jiu's life experience can be described as unique, he can always make key breakthroughs at critical times, meet key opponents, and win key victories, this kind of smooth sailing is impossible to repeat.
Therefore, the current love of these researchers for kendo can only be classified as a temporary passion, not a long-term faith, and it is necessary to continue to consolidate this passion and deepen their memory......
Thinking of this, I suddenly heard a researcher sigh with emotion: "If I could get the dean's enlightenment a few years earlier, and seriously study kendo a few years earlier, I should be able to win a few points in the sword fighting meeting with the Wuxiang Sword Academy next month." β
When Wang Jiu heard this, he suddenly said in surprise: "The sword fighting meeting with the Wuxiang Sword Academy? β
The researcher was even more surprised: "Dean, you don't know? Before the former dean and the others went to the ruins of the Honghuang Desolation, they made a bet with the Wuxiang Sword Academy, saying that they would hold a sword fighting conference with the people of the Wuxiang Sword Academy after they returned, and they would be ashamed ......"
Someone next to him added: "It is said that a huge amount of bets have been agreed, and the winner can get hundreds of thousands of spirit stones...... The people of the Wuxiang Sword Academy held a celebration banquet that night to celebrate the windfall of the Sword Academy, and the banquet was very luxurious. β
An older researcher sighed: "But it's no wonder, when have we ever won a sword fight with the Wuxiang Sword Academy in these years?" The former dean has worked hard for decades, and the gap between the academy and the Wuxiang Sword Academy in the field of kendo is getting bigger and bigger, and the quantity and quality of the papers published every year can barely bite, but the only people who can really fight the sword are the former president and vice president, and they can't even fight the heavenly sword and the remnant sword of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, and they haven't even forced the dean of the Sword Academy to take action in person for decades......"
Zhu He, who has the oldest qualifications, said: "It's not fair to say this, the dean of the Wuxiang Sword Academy is the same generation as the Holy Sect Master, he has practiced for more than 120 years, and his actual combat ability ranks among the top five in the world. And the two of them are his protΓ©gΓ©s, and they also have more years of cultivation than Dean Sang, so it is normal for them to have a slight advantage in strength. What's more, every time our academy loses, it is actually not lost to the two deans, there is really no third candidate who can play with a sword, and the disadvantage is too huge. β
"Yes, it's a pity that Dean Wang came a few years late, if I had known that I still had such a talent for using swords, I would definitely practice a sword dao magic power, and cooperate with Dean Sang and them to fight the Wuxiang Sword Academy."
"It's a pity that this sword fighting conference is only half a month later, so it's too late anyway......"
Hearing these words, Wang Jiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
The handover of the work of this academy is really too unusual, as the new dean, no one even reminded him of such a big event as the gambling fight with the Wuxiang Sword Academy! And the Sang sisters are also obviously seriously derelict in their duties, they actually do not make work logs and manuals, so that after the new dean takes office, they do not even know what work they have at hand that needs to be handled by future generations.
Perhaps they have unrealistic confidence in the exploration of the ruins of the Flood, or perhaps they are very rational in realizing that if the exploration fails, no amount of inheritance will only be cheaper for posterity.
But in any case, this at least shows that his decision to kick the working secretary sent by the academy to the Wanwu Group was very wise when he took office, and that kind of monk with serious intellectual defects could only study Xiangzhou Wanwu at most......
Seeing that Wang Jiu was silent, one person around him said: "Dean, you don't have to worry too much, the former dean and their gambling contract was notarized by the academy, and when the time comes, the gambling compensation can be directly taken to the academy's accounts." β
Another person said: "Yes, and it's not uncommon to lose to the Wuxiang Sword Academy in a gambling fight, in the past five years, there is such an item in the annual budget of the academy every year, and hundreds of thousands of spirit stones are used as annual coins." β
"In the past, we all thought it was better to lose, after all, if we lost, we only need to pay hundreds of thousands of coins, if we win, the two dean sisters don't know how many things they can do from the beginning."
"Ah, I have a piece of gossip that they plan to set up 170 new kendo research projects to complete the revolutionary evolution of Sangshu kendo and go down in history forever...... At least half of the 170 projects are fantastical, but they plan to mobilize more than half of the college's manpower resources, and then promote the project research at any cost, even if it affects the research of other projects. β
"Huh? Get half of the people to come to the sword group? With so many people on vacation, can the college still work normally? β
"It is said that they also plan to cancel the existing vacation policy of the sword team, and not only will they not be subsidized, but they will not even get off work ......."
"Heartbreaking, really heartbreaking!"
The monks of the Sword Group talked for a while, but no one paid too much attention to the gambling with the Wuxiang Sword Academy.
After all, they have lost in the past so many years, and no matter how sensitive a person is, they should be numb, not to mention that except for the Sang sisters, others may not really be willing to win the bet.
But Wang Jiu cared very much about the outcome of this battle.
On the issue of swordsmanship, Wang Jiu has always been a must-fight. And if Qinglian Academy loses to the Wuxiang Sword Academy in his tenure, it will become a stain that the Outer Heaven Divine Sword cannot tolerate, and it will also greatly affect the academy's enthusiasm for swordsmanship.
"Where are the rules of sword fighting?"
"Huh? Wait a minute, I should have a copy here......" A good researcher rummaged through his storage bag for a while, and found a detailed explanation of the rules of sword fighting, densely filled with notes.
The researcher explained with some embarrassment: "I was appointed by Dean Sang to be the main force of sword fighting, so I had no choice but to carefully study the rules to see how to surrender and admit defeat as soon as possible, or it is better to pretend to be sick and not play......
A young man next to him raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said happily: "Me too!" The dean insisted that I join the mixed group, and I was so worried that I couldn't do it. Have you figured out anything to do? β
"The easiest thing is to eat food that may cause drug testing to fail before the game, even the fake Shencheng sandstone barbecue stall in the south of Tiancheng is said to have been using phantom corn husks to enhance the flavor of barbecue, if we go to eat, the drug test will most likely show that we have taken banned drugs during the sword fight......"
The two were talking energetically, but their colleagues pulled their sleeves hard, and finally found that the new dean had a solemn face.
Wang Jiu looked at this sword fighting rule jointly determined by the former dean and the Wuxiang Sword Academy, and then compared it with the relevant information of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, and quickly estimated the winning rate of the sword fighting in his heart.
No matter how the Qinglian Academy arranges its troops, with the current academy monks who only know how to conduct theoretical research, they don't even have a 0.1% chance of winning against the Wuxiang Sword Academy, which is strong and strong.
In recent decades, the atmosphere of attaching importance to actual combat, as well as a large number of life-threatening actual combat training, have made the sword cultivators of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, even comparable to the Shencheng soldiers who have been fighting in the chaotic battlefield all year round.
However, the enrollment standard of the Wuxiang Sword Academy is far higher than that of Shen Cheng, and the kind of kendo genius that can be called rare in other places in a hundred years is everywhere in the Wuxiang Sword Academy. And unlike Shen Cheng's simple emphasis on actual combat, the Wuxiang Sword Academy also attaches great importance to ring battles.
Under the rules of the ring, the swordsmanship that the people of the Sword Academy are best at is now looking all over Xiangzhou, and it is impossible to find an opponent who can match them, and even the high-end battle in the sword fighting conference, against the Heavenly Sword and the Remnant Sword, even if Wang Jiu personally shoots, he is not sure of winning.
However, after all, there is still half a month before the sword fighting conference, and there is half a month, which is enough for the Outer Heaven Divine Sword to change its life against the sky.
