346: Chapter 226: Satellite 346: Chapter 226: Satellite “Oh, I’m a 1-tier Battle-profession now, a heavily equipped warrior.
My Awakened Abnormal Ability is ‘Armed Destruction’.
Do you want a demonstration?”
“…..
If I recall correctly, the moment you determined to follow the heavy equipment route for your battle-profession was in the last class, three days ago, wasn’t it?”
“Yep, is there a problem?
I told you before, I develop pretty fast.”
“….No problem, not a single problem.”
It’s always good to have a student who progresses rapidly.
How can there be any issues?
Teacher Lu shook his head, while his eyes became unfocused.
As for the other two mentors, they wore expressions of incredulity— difficult to hide the shock on their faces.
“Becoming a 1-tier battle-profession in three to four days?
This is not a problem?!”
But for Lu Ping’an, this was just a minor incident, which he explained in few words.
“…..I am a 2-tier Soldier, focused on all weapons but followed the route of Battle Axe.
My axe techniques had already reached the 2-tier level earlier.
So with enough accumulation, all I had left was to Awaken my Abnormal Ability.
I’ve been having pretty good luck in the Secret Realm exploration recently.”
This explanation might only fool an alien.
The normal requirements for awakening a professional ability are not only a solid foundation but also momentary inspiration brought about by repeated diligent training…
Only when the cup is full can the fish leap out.
Even for a battle-profession which is relatively easier to advance, it should at least take several months to move from 0-tier to 1-tier.
Even with sufficient accumulation and the special case of multiclassing with a lower tier (Silver-tier), it should not just take a few days.
And yet, at this moment, Lu Ping’an had achieved three 2-tier professions and two 1-tier professions.
His 2-tier professions were Court Gardener, War Chess Player (Warlord), and Contractor.
His 1-tier professions were strangler (Heavy Armor Warrior) and Runner.
And he was still at the starting stage of 0-tier for Chef, while his main target for current development was Tamer.
In a sense, his “accumulation” has indeed overflowed a bit about his pursuits.
But now, he had the hardware conditions of a “Title Holder”.
All he lacked was a credible 3-tier title…3-tier involved self-cursing and future plans, which wasn’t that easy to attain.
For him, a 1-tier profession was truly not worth mentioning.
“I have a friend who also easily secured a battle profession in just a few days.”
Yes, that friend was Guan Xinxian.
That man had everything required for a battle profession, advancing was just a matter of thought for him.
“….As long as you guys are happy.”
The teachers disregarded all the troublesome things and taught their classes and read their books as required.
In the following time, the class of Lu Ping’an was much harder than expected, not because of bias from the other instructors but because of his exceptional circumstances…he was a transfer student with loose foundations.
During the first lesson, he was given a lot of “Basic Gun Skills,” and was told to go back and revise his basics and practice them on his own.
Now it was time for evaluation.
The instructors would check the standard of his movements, correct inappropriate stances and efforts, and plan the scope and expected progress for the next evaluation based on his development.
During this period, Lu Ping’an was remarkably diligent, with all his time spent on intensive study and practice.
Due to the “double-time” buff from the courtyard, as well as various facility welfare, his productivity was triple, even quadruple, compared to normal efficiency.
His axe techniques were also executed strictly, according to regulations, showing significant improvements since the last time.
However, the problem was…
“Your axe techniques are okay, just continue to practice.
There are a few standard moves you need to change.
As for your long knife skills, they are barely passable, although they look a bit stiff.
Your sword techniques are completely unacceptable and need to be revised.
You’re treating a rod as a spear in your rod techniques, and your gun techniques aren’t up to scratch…
Honestly, practicing this many at once is beyond my expectations.
Even though your progress has indeed surprised me, your time and energy are still limited, and being too ambitious is not wise.”
The problem was, Lu Ping’an was concurrently undertaking too many basic courses, and being slightly indecisive, he decided to take them all.
Teacher Lu earnestly and tactfully indicated, “This is foolish behavior, don’t do it again.” But Lu Ping’an had a new request instead.
“I want to integrate it into a mixed combat technique centered on axe techniques, which can be used with most long weapons when necessary.”
He did not blindly want all of them, only practiced various long weapons as the base and material for the mixed combat technique.
Teacher Lu paused; he knew what this meant.
The look in his eyes when looking at the young boy had become more scrutinizing.
“……Let’s have a bout.
Be a bit more serious, just observe the martial arts.”
“Okay.”
This spar took slightly longer.
Lu Ping’an used his “tentacles”, deployed his “light axe head”, “heavy cavalry spear”, “multi-tentacles” mixed combat technique.
He even played it out using the “tentacles” to hold the spear, then achieved short-term “multi-armed combat method”.
In actual combat, the “weapon-switching” that seemed like teleportation and the deeply impressive deployment of Shrink Land left a deep impression.
In the end, after Lu Ping’an limited most of his high-level combat powers (high-level magic plants, Little Flame), he still lost to his teacher in close combat.
But Teacher Lu was also shocked by Lu Ping’an’s unconventional fighting style.
He didn’t accuse Lu Ping’an of using “gardening” or “space ability”, because it’s obvious that they were already a part of the martial arts fighting method.
If the goal was to become a legion type, Lu Ping’an’s close-up abilities had already reached a satisfactory standard.
What made him satisfied was the “cunning and cruel rationality” maintained throughout the fight and the “bloodthirsty, aggressive, yet not frenzied” fighting style.
His comments on the classwork already were highly rated, and then…..he recommended a few books for Lu Ping’an.
“Eastern Country’s Ancient Military History (Volume 3)”.
Unlike previous volumes which record history and heroes’ lives, this one simply documents the fight experiences and styles of ancient heroes.
After you read this, you should know why our country’s ancient military generals mostly used long weapons, and their understanding and choice of weapons, you should refer to.”
“Three Ancestor Zen Martial Arts (First Three Volumes)”, you’re not an Awakener, you might not understand this set of books.
But you can understand the logical arguments about ‘motion’ and ‘stillness’, it should be very helpful for constructing your own combat style, even as the core theory of martial arts.”
“Unlimited Combat and Shackled Boxing”, this book is not taboo knowledge, just ordinary fighting theory, but it’s very effective for actual combat.
You can combine it with the previous book, one talks about theory, the other about actual combat.
Their ideas about ‘combat range’ and ‘domination circle’, though arrived at differently, should be helpful to you.”
“This is your homework before the next class.
Lastly, you should practice the basic techniques of the long weapons you want to combine to a certain standard.
Keep it up.”
This was the teaching method of Ancient City University, it seems casual, but in reality, the difference between the lower and upper limit is great.
If you just follow the teacher in each course, complete his homework, accept his guidance, it’s almost enough…this is the lower limit.
You can also ask for what you want, just raise it with your tutor, and he will try to guide you.
Whether it can be successful, whether it’s worth it, it’s all up to you to decide.
When you can’t do it, get stuck, or have regrets, start over and lower the difficulty.
Clearly, the upper limit of the latter is extremely high.
As long as you complete each “satellite” you launch, you will naturally ascend higher and higher.
But if you’re obsessed with completing the teacher’s homework, by the end, you’ll still be completing standard assignments.
This set of homework given was convoluted and difficult, it had theory classes, philosophy classes, and basic combat skills that needed time to polish.
Lu Ping’an did a quick calculation and felt it was a bit too strenuous.
So, is there a slightly easier shortcut?
“Fool, find some laborers…cough, young ones, let them practice basic gun skills, axe skills, etc.
You then take the dividends.
Isn’t that ok?” Meow gave a somewhat shameless suggestion at this time.
But Lu Pingan was a little doubtful, his dividends would get discounted.
Only if a professional exercised basic martial arts all day long would it be worth it.
But that seems too unrealistic.
“It’s not right to focus only on Meow.
Her curriculum is intense as well…”
“I’m talking about those new members in your club, they are so bored with their daily theory classes, having a ‘powerful senior brother’ to kindly guide them wouldn’t be a piece of bad news…
You might even find a few diligent and useful ones.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.
“You’ve learned badly, Meow.
Who taught you?”
“Learn from you?
Hmph, when I was recruiting minions in the club, you were not even born yet.
The courtyard is too deserted, it needs some cheap laborers…
Interns.”
