When Wei Minghua announced Lu Ping’s name again, there was an uproar at the scene!
No one expected that the guy who had only made a thin cut was actually the first one to be selected.
“There must be a mistake, right?”
“That funny guy was selected? What?”
“Of course. which big shot has supported him?”
However, these people were still discussing, but no one questioned him.
After all, it had nothing to do with them.
Wei Minghua ignored these discussions and continued to read the name list one by one.
“The last Basic Swordsmanship teacher is Zhang Chao! Next, we will announce the name list of Qi Training instructors…” Wei Minghua said.
“Wait!” A sharp scream sounded, and the voice was trembling.
Obviously, the owner of the voice was very excited.
Everyone looked at the owner of the voice.
It was Liu Qian, and she had already left her seat.
She stared at Wei Minghua and suppressed the anger in her heart. She asked with a trembling voice, “Mr. Wei, I want to ask why I wasn’t accepted! The marks I left were the deepest!”
Wei Minghua’s face was calm, he explained, “Although the marks you left are deep enough, your control of Qi is scattered and not solid. Your foundation is not solid. Even when I asked you about the theory of swordsmanship, your answer was not ideal. All in all, you do not meet the conditions for us to accept you!”
“Impossible!” Liu Qian did not believe what Wei Minghua said at all.
At this moment, her mind was in a mess. She was not smart to begin with, so it was difficult for her to distinguish the situation at this moment.
According to her thoughts, she should definitely get in. She had always thought so, so she was very confident. Especially after she made the deepest mark, Liu Qian felt that she was stable! She felt that she could get in with her own strength.
But the reality was right in front of her, she was not accepted.
But logically speaking, Wu Xiong had already asked his father to find a connection for her, so she should definitely get in.
She suddenly thought of the phone call that Wei Minghua had received in the middle of the call.
Her mind was full of thoughts. When she recalled how she had offended Lu Ping, she suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Ping.
Shock flashed in her eyes. “Could it be him?”
After thinking about it, Liu Qian felt that there was only one possibility!
She turned to look at Wei Minghua and said, “Mr. Wei, even if I can’t get in, why can this guy get in?”
She had completely thrown caution to the wind. In any case, if she was not allowed to get in, then no one would be able to get in!
A crazy look flashed across Liu Qian’s face, she pointed at Lu Ping and said fiercely, “Don’t think that I don’t know. This guy is looking for connections, and so am I. isn’t it just because we had a conflict, he wants to be eliminated for me? But since you guys are so biased, he shouldn’t get in either! His scratch on the stone is shallow and thin. What right does he have to enter?”
Lu Ping’s mouth was wide open… When did he look for connections? Who did he look for?
‘Why is this woman like a crazy psycho? If I could find connections, I would definitely be the first to find connections and stuff her into the sewer.’
Wei Minghua was dumbfounded.
In fact, Liu Qian didn’t guess wrong about one thing. The call he received was indeed to tell him not to be biased toward Liu Qian and to cross her off the list of must-enter candidates.
However, Wei Minghua did not know the reason.
As for Lu Ping, he was really on the list. However, Wei Minghua did not accept him because he had been notified.
However, could these things be put on the table now?
If you said these words in front of so many people, there would definitely be animosity between the people who greeted you and the higher-ups of the school!
Wei Minghua stared at Liu Qian with a flash of anger in his eyes.
At this moment, someone at the scene also shouted!
“So it’s a conspiracy!”
“As I said, you can pass the interview even if you’re the last one. How interesting.”
“Qingzhou Academy, that’s it?”
“It’s really disappointing.”
“Mr. Wei, give me an explanation!”
Looking at the angry crowd, Wei Minghua waved at Lu Ping.
He said, “Lu Ping, come here.”
Lu Ping got up obediently and walked over.
“Give me your sword!”
“It’s already broken.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Lu Ping took out his broken sword and handed it to Wei Minghua. Wei Minghua smiled at him and said, “Go back. Leave the rest to me.”
Lu Ping left as he was told.
Flames rose from Wei Minghua’s hand. The broken swords floated up and slowly melted together in his hand.
Wei Minghua said softly, “First of all, let me make it clear that there is absolutely no shady business in our interview. Then, let me explain to everyone that we are recruiting a teacher for Basic Swordsmanship, not a cultivator who goes out to fight. Therefore, the first thing we want to see is your mastery of the basics of the sword, not who has the deeper scratches. From the beginning to the end, I have never said that if the scratches are deep, you will definitely be selected.”
His voice was very soft, but everyone could hear him clearly.
While refining the broken sword, Wei Minghua swept his gaze across everyone in the room, he said, “The depth of the scratches on the sword stone has a lot to do with your cultivation techniques and the grade of the flying swords you use. Take Liu Qian for example. The flying swords she uses are obviously better than yours, so the scratches are naturally deeper. However, it doesn’t mean that she has a better grasp of the basic sword principle
“On the contrary, although Lu Ping uses an ordinary steel sword, he can make a scratch on it. Now that I have fixed the long sword, all the students who have been eliminated can come up and give it a try. Whoever can make a scratch with this ordinary steel sword like Lu Ping did, can pass the interview!”
“Swish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword flew out and pierced directly into the sword stone!
At this moment, Liu Qian immediately flew forward and grabbed the long sword. She fiercely slashed at the sword stone. She had just used her Love X13 flying sword to create a large crater, so she did not think that it would be difficult to create a mark.
“Ding!”
The long sword bounced away, but there was not a single mark on the sword stone. Everyone was shocked!
Liu Qian shouted crazily, “This is impossible!”
At this moment, Wei Minghua looked at Lu Ping with admiration, he praised, “Although this Lu Ping only uses an ordinary steel sword, the Qi flow in his body and the timing of his sword gestures have reached a perfect state. The Qi that he slashed out is condensed and sharp. I didn’t ask him questions not because he can’t answer, but because the moment he drew out his sword, it was already perfect. Without sufficient theoretical support, how can the actual operation reach such a perfect state?”
“This sword stone is made of ten-thousand-year-old black ice iron. Even when I was at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, I might not be able to scratch it. Here is the sword. Everyone can come and try it!”
Lu Ping’s expression was calm. He had never been trash!
Basic Swordsmanship was one of the few skills that he could practice. Before high school, Lu Ping’s Basic Swordsmanship had always been an S grade.
Only after entering university, because he couldn’t afford to buy a flying sword, during the graduation exam, his first time using a standard flying sword, he only got a B.
And now, he finally had a chance to prove himself.
Huang Xiaoqi also looked at Lu Ping with admiration. She originally thought that she would be the one to send Lu Ping into the academy, but she didn’t expect that with the opportunity, Lu Ping’s strength alone was enough to apply for a job!
