"Alas... my Tang family's ancestors were once earls. But when it came to my brother's generation, alas..." Tang Hao sighed with a look of loss, then clenched his fists and said, "But, Shuiyun, I will work hard. In two years, I must pass the military imperial examination and restore the glory of my Tang family."
"Tang Hao, I believe you will be able to pass the military imperial examination." Zhang Shuiyun nodded with admiration.
"Baron?" Li Zitong was stunned and looked at Tang Wen with suspicion.
Because, Xiao Gai said that Tang Wen was a first-class earl, but how come his brother said he was only a baron? The two titles are worlds apart.
"It was true a few months ago ." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"You're promoted very quickly." Li Zitong said with admiration.
"Just luck." Tang Wen shook his head.
"Haha, Tang Hao, you don't know yet?" Li Zitong laughed at Tang Hao after getting Tang Wen's affirmation.
"Senior Brother Li, what do you mean?" Tang Hao looked at him in confusion.
"Your brother is now a first-class earl, not the third-class baron as before." Li Zitong said.
"Impossible! You must have made a mistake." Tang Hao shook his head with certainty, not believing it at all.
"If you don't believe me, just ask your brother." Li Zitong said.
"elder brother?"
"The war situation in the northwest is tense. I was lucky and got promoted." Tang Wen said.
"Brother, are you really a first-class earl?" Tang Hao still couldn't believe it.
"Killing a few pirates and contributing some military merits is nothing." Tang Wen shook his head.
"My master has wiped out thousands of pirates, so he deserves to be promoted to earl," said Luo Yiwu.
"Tang Hao, your brother is a hero." At this time, a beautiful girl wearing a plum blossom polka dot skirt next to Zhang Shuiyun said with admiration.
"Brother, I never thought that you have accomplished it before me even after trying so hard.
Brother, you are a hero, and I, your younger brother, am not as good as you.
I have tried my best, really." Tang Hao said a little disappointed.
"Most of my wealth was donated, it's nothing, don't underestimate yourself.
I believe you will pass the imperial examination and become a military scholar. Then, you can join me.
One is a scholar and the other is a warrior. The Tang family depends on you." Tang Wen comforted.
"I will definitely pass the exam!" Tang Hao clenched his fists and made a crackling sound, "But, brother, how about your subordinate?
Sixth Senior Brother entered the fifth level a few months ago. If you are not good enough, there is no point in competing with him.
That guy is as fierce as a wolf when he gets angry. If you challenge him, you will often end up with broken hands and feet."
"Haha, it's good to let Qiao Xiao learn a lesson." Tang Wen smiled.
Soon, we arrived in front of the arena and found that it was already packed with people, about two thousand in number.
Even the teacher and the instructors were alarmed, as dozens of them came.
"Beautiful sisters and junior sisters! I, Tie Gu, am here!" Tie Gu roared loudly and rushed to the ring like the wind.
When he approached the ring, he used the inertia of his running to rush up, and his whole body was more than four meters in the air.
He spread his wings, circled half a circle like a solitary eagle, and landed with a bang, shaking the arena.
"Iron Lone, Iron Lone, Iron Lone..."
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother..."
Suddenly, the students' passion was ignited, the scene was boiling, they raised their arms, and shouted in unison.
The sound shook the nine heavens, and it seemed that the water of Songyue Lake in front of the academy was stirred up, and the calm lake surface began to ripple.
You know, half of these 2,000 or so students are martial artists.
The noise made by this cheerleading team is far better than that of modern cheerleading teams.
when!
At this time, someone struck the gong.
Tang Wen noticed that a burly, middle-aged man with a scruffy beard was holding a gong and yelling, "Tie Gu! You bastard, why didn't you call me in a duel?"
"Oh no, Mo Yun just arrived." Li Zitong was shocked.
"Is he scary?" Tang Wen asked.
"Not very scary, but quite scary. Tie Gu is his disciple. These two are good generals, but they have bad tempers.
Like Tie Gu, many challengers broke their legs and hands. Many students who trained under Mo Yungang were injured, and some people gave him the nickname of Demon Teacher.
He also picked me that year, but luckily I didn’t go.
But now he glares at me and I avoid him whenever I see him." Tang Hao said with a terrified look on his face.
“That’s because your teacher is better than him, otherwise, you would have been beaten half to death by him. How dare you deny him as your master?
However, even so, you have to be careful not to conflict with him.
Otherwise, even your teacher can’t save you.” Li Zitong said.
"Fourth brother, your teacher is good. Who is he?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"The leader of the War Hall is Li Xiongba! His skills are much higher than Mo Yungang's." Li Zitong said.
"Mo Yungang seems to have perfected the skills of the fifth level, but Li Xiongba is much higher. Could he be at the fourth level?" Tang Wen said.
"Brother Tang's vision is indeed very good. I admire you." Li Zitong said with a smile.
"From what Tie Gu said just now, I heard that there are still third-grade experts in your Linghai Academy?" Tang Wen asked.
"I don't know about this. It's not our place to ask about the affairs of the masters." Li Zitong said.
"Isn't your father the vice-president?" Tang Wen asked.
"Maybe even he doesn't know." Li Zitong shook his head.
"Where is the dean?" Tang Wen asked.
"The dean is at the fourth level, and definitely not at the third level." Li Zitong replied with certainty.
"Is there someone more powerful than the dean? For example, someone like the guardian of the courtyard." Tang Wen was a little surprised.
It reminds me of the patron saints of martial arts sects described in novels, for example, the mysterious existence of the sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple.
"It's possible." Li Zitong said.
"Which bastard dares to challenge my disciple, get on the stage right away. Otherwise, kowtow to your Master Mo and get out of here." Mo Yungang came up to the stage holding a gong and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Teacher, he said Yingnantai is a bear platform, and we won't tolerate him even if we kowtow to him! We will make him look like a dog and carry him out." Tie Gu shouted.
"What, Bear Terrace, what a piece of shit, come up quickly and let my disciples deal with you. You are not scared to pee your pants, right? There is no movement now." Mo Yungang shouted after looking around.
"He must have been so scared that he went to the toilet first. Otherwise, he would have shit and peed all over his pants, which would be so embarrassing." Tie Gu laughed.
…
"They sing the same tune, they are really a match made in heaven." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"That's right. The students and teachers in the academy all call them a pair of funny people." Li Zitong said with a smile.
when!
The gong struck Mo Yungang hard again, and the whole place fell silent immediately.
"Where is Qiao Xiao?"
"I am Qiao Xiao!" At this time, Qiao Xiao replied.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Qiao Xiao.
The students and teachers who were still standing next to Qiao Xiao quickly retreated, and immediately, Qiao Xiao was blindingly exposed.
Because there was no one within ten feet around him, and he was the only one left all alone.
"Don't shout, I'll come up." Qiao Xiao said, and strode to Tang Wen, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists, saying, "Master! I am rude, I want to be unrestrained."
"Who is this guy?"
"I don't know. He looks young, but he is actually Qiao Xiao's master?"
"Maybe he was born into a wealthy family."
…
"Qiao Xiao, Tie Gu's fighting power is very strong. However, he must have an injury on the left side of his waist.
Attack somewhere else first to make him relax.
Then find the right opportunity to attack him on the left side, even though you two have equal skills.
However, you can only win if you seize this opportunity." Tang Wen used the 'sound transmission technique' to explain.
This technique was given as an extra gift by the first-class strong man Kumutong in Xuanwu City. At that time, Kumutong also directly opened up Tang Wen's "special sound channel".
Therefore, Tang Wen could barely perform this technique when he was at the fifth level, but it was also extremely strenuous.
Otherwise, you have to wait until you reach the third level before you can use it.
Otherwise, he would have passed it to Qiao Xiao and the others long ago.
