"So you've been hiding your strength?!”
Rashu nodded.
Anderson was a little mad, but he was more delighted.
He put his arm around Rashu's shoulder and said happily,""My good brother, I'll treat you to Jade Water Paradise tonight. You have to go!
Lance, you're a genius! All the heirs of the great nobles would be happy to befriend a genius knight like you!”
Anderson had always wanted to squeeze into the circle of the upper-class nobles in White Maple City, but his background as a country bumpkin had always been looked down upon by others.
Now, he saw an opportunity and hope in Rashu.
Without any suspense, Rashu became the first in the strength assessment.
He was now a strong contender for the first place in the mid-term assessment, just like Joey.
As long as he could achieve a good result in the sword arts test, Rashu would most likely be the top scorer in the overall score.
"There's no such possibility.”
Jouyi gripped his apprentice longsword tightly and thought to himself,""Teacher Julian praised my swordsmanship before, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to get an excellent evaluation.
As for Rashu, how powerful could an ignorant and incompetent scion of a wealthy family be? Hmph hmph…"
Julian would personally participate in the swordsmanship assessment.
The ordinary apprentice sword in Julian's hand gave off an inexplicable aura.
" I will suppress my strength to the same level as each of you," Julian said calmly." I will only test your swordsmanship." If you can last half a minute in my hands, you'll pass.”
"Half a minute?"
"This is too simple!"
All the students were delighted.
If Julian had not suppressed his strength, it would have been impossible for him to last half a minute under his attack.
However, Julian had said that he would suppress his strength to the same level as them. Under such circumstances, it should be easy for him to last for half a minute.
Jouyi also revealed a confident smile.
"Hu…"
Anderson heaved a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed manner,""So the sword arts test is even easier than the strength test. It's only half a minute. At most, I'll just take a few more hits. Wouldn't it be easy to pass?”
There were many people who had the same thoughts as Anderson. Only Rashu did not look relaxed at all. Instead, he became even more cautious.
Even a knight-level magic puppet from the Sword Arts Association who only knew how to follow the rules could defeat many geniuses.
Although Julian had promised to suppress his strength, he had the experience of hundreds of battles and was far more terrifying than a dull magic puppet.
The truth was just as Rashu had expected.
The first student who went up to take the assessment did not even last five seconds against Julian, let alone half a minute. He was knocked down in a few moves.
" Your results are not up to standard!"
Julian announced coldly.
Everyone was shocked. This student had lit up four and a half crystals in the previous strength assessment. They did not expect that he would still fail the sword technique assessment.
" Your results are not up to standard!"
" Your results are not up to standard!"
...
Julian's cold voice echoed in the arena. More than half of the students were taking the swordsmanship assessment, but only a few of them could pass the standard.
"Isn't this too difficult?"
This time, everyone's faces became sullen. It was even more difficult to get a passing score in the sword arts assessment than to get a good evaluation in the strength assessment.
"Joey!"
When it was Joey's turn to take the assessment, all the students 'spirits were slightly lifted.
"Joey's swordsmanship has been praised by Teacher Julian. He should be able to perform well!”
"I feel like Joey can last more than a minute!”
"Joey's swordsmanship should be able to get another excellent result!”
Joey was also full of confidence, and Julian gave him some encouragement.
"Sorry, teacher!"
Joey gave Julian a knight's salute, then gripped the sword in his hand tightly and took a standard sword step.
"Monolith Sword Technique!"
The eyes of the students on the sidelines lit up, and they immediately let out low exclamations.
"Monolith Sword Technique! As expected, Jouyi had used the Monolith Sword Technique!”
"The Monolith Sword Art is considered outstanding even among low-tier combat techniques!”
" I'm looking forward to Joey's results!"
Rashu's eyes flickered as he chanted in his heart,'A.I. Chip, store this sword technique for me!”
"Recording and storing…"
Jouyi's actions were analyzed by the A. I. Chip, and recorded down in the Monolith Sword Technique.
Facing Joey's attacks, Julian remained calm. He casually waved his apprentice sword and easily blocked Joey's ferocious attacks.
Joey's attacks were like a storm, but they were all neutralized by Julian.
Gradually, Jouyi became a little impatient, and his footwork and movements became a little messy.
"Qiao Yi is going to lose."
Rashu thought to himself.
As expected, Julian's sword reached out like a viper and pecked Joey's wrist accurately.
"Pa da!"
The sword in Jouyi's hand fell to the ground, and his face turned pale.
"Grade, pass!"
Julian said coldly.
Joey only lasted for about thirty seconds, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
"The Monolith sword-art is a sword-art that focuses on defense while waiting for an attack. You keep attacking, completely abandoning the essence of this sword technique…"
Julian shook his head slightly." Joey, you disappoint me.”
Jouyi's face turned pale, and his right hand trembled slightly. After a long while, he took a deep breath and silently retreated.
Qiao Yi was indeed strong, but unfortunately, his heart was in a mess, and his sword moves were also in a mess, which was why he lost his standard.
Rashu silently analyzed in his heart.
At this moment, the A. I. Chip sounded.
"Monolith Sword Technique has been stored. Completion rate: 78%.”
"Upgrade."
Rashu did not hesitate to issue the optimization order. The Monolith Sword Technique would take 12 hours to complete the optimization. Once the optimization was completed, Rashu would receive another sword technique inheritance that was not weak.
"Next, Rashu. Lance."
Finally, it was Rashu's turn.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Rashu.
In the strength assessment, Rashu had shocked the world with a single brilliant feat, and he had become a new force.
Now, everyone was very curious as to how good Rashu's swordsmanship was.
Rashu took a deep breath, gripped his sword tightly, and walked onto the stage.
"Analysis, the best way to defeat the target.”
"Analyzing…"
