Chapter 13: How Can Your Martial Spirit Still Change?
"I'm coming!"
Liu Long stepped forward, and an unknown long staff Spirit appeared in his hand.
Tool Spirit.
The strength gap between Liu Long and Wang Sheng was not actually large, but he had an advantage that Wang Sheng did not.
A Tool Spirit could manifest, but a Beast Spirit could not.
Before becoming a Spirit Master, Wang Sheng could only rely on his excellent Physique to directly counter his Spirit.
Naturally, his chances of losing were greater.
However, Li Tian wasn't in the mood to play hide-and-seek with him; he couldn't hone his combat experience that way.
The Thousand Machine Umbrella appeared, and a yellow spirit ring rose.
"Li Tian, Spirit Thousand Machine Umbrella, eleventh Rank, one-ring defense-type Tool Spirit Master."
Liu Long's expression changed drastically.
What a joke, this little brat was already a one-ring Spirit Master.
Moreover, his first spirit ring was at the hundred-year level.
How was he supposed to fight this?
Shock also appeared on the faces of Xiao Chenyu and the others, for Li Tian's Rank, and also for his spirit ring.
How old was he?
Nuoding City, this remote corner, actually produced a true Genius.
Everyone looked at Xiao Chenyu in unison.
Li Tian's Spirit was not Blue Silver Grass, so no one dared to mock him at this time.
"Are you really a work-study student?"
Xiao Chenyu was a little disbelieving; could a Phoenix really emerge from a straw nest?
Li Tian nodded and said, "That's right."
Xiao Chenyu thought for a moment and asked, "What was the condition you mentioned earlier that you wanted me to agree to?"
His first ring was only at the ten-year level.
As long as the opponent's combat experience wasn't too poor, his chances of winning weren't great.
It was better to confirm the opponent's conditions first.
Li Tian said, "It's nothing difficult; I want to join the City Guard to Cultivate for a period of time."
Spirit Masters were noble and scarce.
Most grassroots soldiers were just ordinary people, and ordinary people wanted to kill enemies on the battlefield.
Then martial arts were definitely indispensable.
For example, saber techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, archery, and so on, all were worth Li Tian's study.
Perhaps they might not be very strong.
But they would definitely help improve his overall strength.
"Oh, right!"
Li Tian suddenly said, "Since you said three wouldn't hurt, then take on the work-study student's duties as well."
"Alright!"
Xiao Chenyu was also straightforward, agreeing immediately, as it wasn't a difficult matter for him.
"Liu Long, step down."
Xiao Chenyu replaced Liu Long, because the latter could not be Li Tian's opponent.
Liu Long stepped down.
Xiao Chenyu said, "Xiao Chenyu, Spirit Wolf, eleventh Rank, one-ring attack system Battle Spirit Master."
Li Tian cupped his hands, no longer repeating the introduction.
Xiao Chenyu's eyes narrowed, he pushed off the ground, and lunged towards Li Tian.
Although his Spirit was a wolf, it was not as good as Wang Sheng's tiger.
However, the sense of power and speed in his pounce was incomparable to Wang Sheng's.
This was the attribute suppression of Rank.
Facing Xiao Chenyu's pounce, the Thousand Machine Umbrella in Li Tian's hand swept out like a long spear.
The latter dropped his body, sliding towards Li Tian.
Seeing this, Li Tian retreated half a step, and the Thousand Machine Umbrella transformed into the Diamond Sword.
From back to front, from bottom to top, it slashed towards Xiao Chenyu.
"Holy crap!"
This change stunned everyone, and they instinctively blurted out an expletive.
Including Xiao Chenyu.
At this moment, he had no time to retract his strength or change his stance, and he was about to collide with the sword's edge.
He didn't even have time to use a Spirit Ability.
The Spirit in Li Tian's hand dissipated, he voluntarily gave up this attack, and then dodged Xiao Chenyu's slide with a side roll, otherwise, the problem would have been big.
"How the hell can your Spirit change?"
Xiao Chenyu, having recovered, couldn't care less about his lingering fear and instinctively asked the doubt in his heart.
Only, his words were not very harmonious.
Everyone else also looked at Li Tian, including Wang Sheng and the others.
A Spirit that could change, this was truly rare.
Could Li Tian be the legendary twin spirits?
Li Tian smiled and said, "Thousand Machine, is for change; this is an Innate ability it possesses."
"No, brother…"
Xiao Chenyu hesitated, this Spirit characteristic was too damn unfair, wasn't it?
Everyone else only had one Spirit, but you could transform in a thousand ways.
How was this supposed to be played?
"Damn it!"
Xiao Chenyu cursed and got up, patting the dust off his backside.
"I lost."
Although he hadn't used a Spirit Ability yet, in this situation, using a Spirit Ability might lead to an even worse defeat.
After all, the quality of the spirit ring was there.
"Well done!"
Wang Sheng and the others, seeing Xiao Chenyu admit defeat, immediately cheered excitedly.
In contrast.
Liu Long and the others were a bit depressed; they actually lost to a work-study student.
Li Tian asked, "Then the agreed conditions?"
Xiao Chenyu said, "I will arrange for someone to take over the work-study student's duties. When do you want to go to the City Guard?"
Li Tian said, "Let's start today."
He planned to live directly in the military camp until he had nothing more to learn before returning to the academy.
"Alright, come with me."
Xiao Chenyu didn't procrastinate; arranging for someone to train in the City Guard was something he didn't even need to ask his father about.
His father would be too happy to meet a Genius like Li Tian, and might even increase his living allowance.
Li Tian said, "I'll go report first."
He didn't know how long he would be gone, so it was better to tell the Director of Teaching Affairs.
Otherwise, the Director of Teaching Affairs might suspect he had run away.
"Alright!"
Xiao Chenyu nodded and said, "Then we'll wait for you at the school gate."
"Brother, thanks!"
After Xiao Chenyu and the others left, Wang Sheng immediately stepped forward to express his gratitude.
No more chores.
Then most of their time after classes could be spent on Cultivation.
Li Tian waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter."
"Remember to look after my bed; don't let my bedding be gone when I return."
"Hahaha… Don't worry, we'll definitely look after it for you."
Wang Sheng and the others laughed and agreed, not thinking anyone would steal his bedding.
After parting ways.
Li Tian found the Director of Teaching Affairs and informed him of his idea.
The Director of Teaching Affairs naturally supported it.
After all, a student's ambition was a good thing, and the military's martial arts skills could indeed improve his overall strength.
After reporting.
Li Tian met up with Xiao Chenyu and the others at the school gate and walked towards the City Guard barracks.
Li Tian asked, "Are there people in the military who are good at swordsmanship and archery?"
Xiao Chenyu said, "Of course there are, after all, those are the most basic means of killing enemies in the military…"
On the way.
Xiao Chenyu roughly introduced the military situation to Li Tian.
On the Douluo Continent, as long as one was human, they had a Spirit, it was just a matter of whether they had Innate spirit power or not.
And conscription, apart from logistics.
The others were mostly ordinary people who had attack Spirits but no Innate spirit power.
Among them were many veterans who had survived battlefields.
These veterans, having survived battlefields, naturally had some strength.
For example, there was an old soldier with an archery Spirit.
Although he had no spirit power, his archery was superb, able to accurately hit an egg 300 meters away.
He could truly hit a target a hundred paces away.
There were also some old soldiers who, despite having no spirit power, could defeat Spirit Masters who didn't use Spirit Abilities with sheer strength.
Upon hearing this, Li Tian couldn't help but feel emotional.
Indeed, no matter in what World, the army could not be useless.
Even if it was just the City Guard of a small place.
If the Nuoding City Guard was like this, then what about the Heaven Dou Empire's truly strong armies?
