Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 34 I may also be able to comprehend special skills

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, and even veteran officers like Dong Yijian were drawn to the spectacle.

To comprehend a special skill right after entering the Warrior Realm is the mark of a genius among geniuses. According to Zhou Changsheng, if such a person doesn't die and continues to practice martial arts, he has the opportunity to comprehend multiple special skills in his lifetime.

Lu Zhao and the other two walked over together and saw a short-haired girl with a fit figure and slightly dark skin, but not as dark as Yang Guangming's. She looked like she used to be an athlete.

"Hey! Stop surrounding me! I have no idea how it happened! It's like taking a dump; do you think about which muscles to use before you poop?"

She shouted loudly, trying to get the crowd to disperse, but to no avail.

I already talked about what the special skill is a couple of days ago. Everyone here knows how awesome it is, so it's impossible for them to be discouraged by just a few words.

Even though Old Ji had said that to master a special skill, all you need to do is study hard and practice diligently, and let things take their natural course, no one completely believed him at this point. They felt that asking someone who had actually mastered the skill would yield some other insights.

"This woman is strong." Shi Jian looked at the short-haired girl with admiration.

Chen Qinhu said sullenly, "I want to see what special skills are like."

Lu Zhao glanced around and saw Gongsun Ke, who always had a fierce look on his face and was like a lone wolf, the mature woman whose name he still couldn't remember, and the little bald-headed Minghui all there.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all top performers in their respective batches. When they see someone master a special skill in the first stage, they can't help but feel envious.

Suddenly, the crowd parted to make way, and Bai Lu, the young pageboy from the Imperial Academy's high pavilion, came down. He remained calm and indifferent throughout, like a robot.

Upon seeing the arrival of the scholar's disciple, the scene immediately quieted down.

"Xu Shu, your teacher asked me to come and see the special skill you've mastered."

The short-haired girl scratched her head; now she couldn't refuse.

"Then all of you, get out of the way!"

The crowd immediately withdrew a large circle.

Xu Shu assumed a horse stance, groaning several times, and then thrust her right sword finger forward.

biu!

A golden beam, about an inch long, shot out like an arrow, heading towards the open space ahead.

Suddenly, an instructor jumped out from the side and slashed with his knife.

chap!

The golden light was shattered, but it was clear that the instructor's hand had trembled.

The instructors here are not young and strong soldiers like Chang Fei with the rank of second-level military officer, but veteran officers like Dong Yijian, who are in charge of an entire formation and have a rank of at least fifth level, and whose cultivation level is above Iron Body Realm.

Xu Shuneng's ability to shake the blade of such a veteran with her newly broken through the Warrior realm is enough to demonstrate the advantage of special skills over ordinary martial arts.

"Wow, I thought it would be a physical martial art, but it's actually an internal energy technique," Chen Qinhu said in surprise.

"Me too," Shi Jian echoed.

However, Lu Zhao was not surprised at all, because he had seen it all.

[Gold-carving finger lv1]

Special skills are unique abilities that each person learns, but that doesn't mean that everyone's special skills are completely new; many skills have prototypes.

For example, anyone could comprehend the "Golden Finger" technique. If Xu Shu comprehends it, it will be a powerful golden light. But if it were the cunning Yang Guangming, it might evolve into a more concealed and faster form, making it easier to use to trick people.

If it were Chen Qinhu instead.....

He's unlikely to master this type of skill; he's a pure tank.

After reading it, Bai Lu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he turned and ran back to the high pavilion. The crowd remained silent. After all, most of the people here were ambitious, and seeing the enviable ability, they were filled with a strong fighting spirit, with only one thought in their minds.

I might also be able to master special skills!

.....

After dinner, Lu Zhao and his two buddies did some physical training together, increasing their muscle and bone strength by 1% each, before returning to their dorm at their usual dismissal time.

Then the tank exploded.

"June 1st!!! You traitor!!"

Murong Can was extremely agitated, mainly out of envy, jealousy, and resentment. "Clearly, our talent is superior!"

Shi Jian said quietly, "At this point, do you still think you have more talent? It's obvious the test was inaccurate."

"..."

Murong Can hesitated for a while, unable to find a rebuttal, then became anxious and began to rage impotently.

"June 1st, once I break through to a higher realm, I'll challenge you!"

Shi Jian then said, "You're probably not qualified to call him Liu Yi anymore."

"..."

Murong Can became even more agitated: "Can't you speak properly?!"

Shi Jian replied frankly, "No."

"........."

Murong Can was extremely anxious, but had no way to resolve the situation, so he became speechless.

Lu Zhao, who had been rummaging through the cabinet, finally turned around: "What did you just say? Were you challenging me?"

He held a pure white dagger in his hand, the beam saber given to him by Zhou Changsheng.

Murong Can: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"I was just kidding, bro, don't kill me!"

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled to himself.

He just wanted to try out the weapon. Before, he didn't have enough internal energy to unleash the light blade, but now that he's reached the Warrior Realm, he can give it a shot.

hum! !

The blade, as white as the hilt, extended out and shone brightly in his hand.

"Light-shooting knife!"

All three were captivated.

"So cool!"

What man wouldn't want a lightsaber?

Shi Jian swallowed hard. "I really want it. Can you give it to me?"

"cannot."

"OK."

Such dialogues between extraordinary individuals often occur between two people.

Lu Zhao is one of the few people who can tolerate Shi Jian's bluntness.

Before lights out, Murong Can pestered the two of them with a whole bunch of questions: the Imperial Academy in the high pavilion, the academic official Ji Ye, the pageboy Bai Lu, as well as elixirs and other things. Yang Guangming continued to eavesdrop discreetly.

"Ah Can, Lao Yang, you two have to give it your all these next two days."

Lu Zhao said solemnly, "You must learn other cultivation methods to have a future."

"Um."

Both of them nodded.

Unbeknownst to many, Lu Zhao seemed to be showing signs of becoming the leader of the dormitory.

......

The next morning, Lu Zhao also called Shi Jian, and after Chen Qinhu got up, they went to the Gaoge Imperial Academy together.

"Shouldn't you all be moved to single rooms too?" Chen Qinhu asked.

"Logically, that should be the case, but things unrelated to martial arts training might be a bit delayed."

Lu Zhao analyzed, "It's estimated that they'll wait until the new recruits are assigned before making adjustments, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Although the new recruits are now being subtly divided into three levels—hair washing and alchemy + small classes, small classes, and large classes—this does not represent the final result.

The future will only be clear to these new recruits when they are assigned to regular units. In the following months, those who are lagging behind will have a chance to make a comeback, while those who are leading may also fall.

The three of them walked forward together and met Zhang Zilian and Wang Dongyu at the intersection of Qingye Street.

When the latter saw his classmate, he naturally came over to congratulate him and try to get closer to him.

"Lu Zhao, you're amazing! I never expected you to break through to the next realm together with Ah Hu."

Chen Qinhu's speed was expected; after all, with a talent score of 90, there shouldn't be any surprises unless there was a major error in the testing. Lu Zhao, on the other hand, was quite surprising.

Regardless, in Wang Dongyu's eyes, his classmates were all incredibly talented, which was a good thing for him.

However, while the group was talking, Zhang Zilian seemed much more somber than usual. He was still upset that Lu Zhao had broken through to the next realm with those geniuses who could receive the Cleansing Pill.

Although he himself couldn't explain why he was so bothered by it.

"Zilian".

Suddenly, a strong baritone voice rang out. Everyone turned around and saw an officer striding towards them. It was Zhang Zilian's uncle, Zhang Qiu.

"Hello, Uncle."

Instead of saluting, the group greeted each other with the courtesy due to juniors.

Zhang Qiuchong and the others nodded: "You've already learned the martial arts manual? How's your training going?"

It's clear he came specifically to see his nephew, probably to check on the progress.

"It's alright." Zhang Zilian subconsciously brushed the hair off his forehead.

Wang Dongyu said, "Uncle, Lu Zhao and A Hu have both broken through to the next realm, and they are going to the Imperial Academy for classes today."

He wasn't familiar with Shi Jian, so he didn't say it directly, but instead included his name in "them".

Zhang Qiu was very pleased.

It was naturally a good thing that his nephew got along well with these geniuses. As for the sense of frustration and disappointment brought about by youthful impetuosity, he didn't notice it at the time.

"Zilian, you should learn from them and exchange ideas more often. By the way, if you encounter any inconveniences in your daily life, let me know, and I'll put in a good word and ask someone to help you out."

At this point, he had no choice but to use his position as a fourth-level military officer and the powerful platoon leader in charge of fifty soldiers to help Zhang Zilian gain favor.

Chen Qinhu didn't think much of it and just nodded obediently. Lu Zhao could see the underlying meaning, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he felt that they were all classmates and there was no need to be so businesslike.

As they chatted, they walked toward the training ground. The four bars on Zhang Qiu's halberd chest drew frequent glances from the other recruits, since most of the instructors on the large training ground only had two or three bars.

"...When we were new recruits, we were all very enthusiastic."

Zhang Qiu recalled the past with great interest, "Back then, we were in a rush, wishing we could make one day count as two..."

He paused here, then said softly, "Salute."

Everyone was taken aback when they saw a five-man squad walking towards them. They were wearing uniforms that were different from those of ordinary soldiers. The base color was also black, but the patterns were different. At first glance, they seemed simpler, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the patterns, which occupied a small portion of the uniform, were more complex.

When Chang Fei was explaining the organization of the Qin army, he mentioned that there were several squads of Wuwei from other places on this transport ship, which were elite troops of a higher rank than Wuzu.

So everyone, including Zhang Qiu, had to stop at the roadside, stand at attention, and salute.

"Long live the Emperor!"

The guards didn't even raise their hands, just nodded and passed by like the wind.
