Chapter 19

When Rong Taotao, holding the halberd, wobbled out of the training hall, it immediately caught the attention of many students.

If the twin sisters still had a certain level of deception, with a strong aura that could pass them off as college students, then for Rong Taotao, the students could tell at a glance that he was still a middle school student.

Rong Taotao's skills were self-trained. Even when he had a master, they often practiced together, but it was only at the level of "training."

As for the two girls holding the ornate large swords, they were likely trained on real battlefields, and were not in the same league as Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao looked like a lost little bronze duck, carrying a halberd over two meters long, stumbling into the training ground of adult martial artists.

When the students saw Rong Taotao carrying the halberd and heading towards the training area where Teacher Si Huannian was, the scene immediately exploded!

What's going on?

Is Teacher Si Huannian going to beat up a kid again today?

Is it time for the "Damn Soul Warrior Dream" segment again?

Si Huannian could be said to be the nightmare of Northern Snow Region high school students. She never hesitated to show her strength and send those high school students who came here back home.

Songjiang Soul Warrior University was clearly the holy land in the hearts of Huaxia Snow Region soul warrior students. Every year, there would be high school students who had not yet graduated, accompanied by their parents, rushing here to "worship."

To encourage these dream-chasing kids, Songjiang Soul Warrior University also had a policy: as long as you could prove your real identity and show a high school student ID, you could enter for free.

Of course, students were allowed to visit, but parents... had to wait in the reception room at the school gate.

Without a doubt, after seeing the grand teaching buildings, library, and horse field, the high school students would eventually come to the training ground to watch the university seniors' battles up close.

As the manager of the training ground, Si Huannian was always here, so she had sent many high school students with lofty ambitions and thin lives back home.

Abusing newbies was likely one of her sadistic hobbies.

...

Just as Rong Taotao stood opposite Si Huannian, several college students gathered around, and more and more students joined in.

Their gazes towards Rong Taotao were mostly filled with pity.

Rong Taotao couldn't help but scratch his head. What kind of looks are these? They...

A senior couldn't help but grin and said, "Hey, kid, do you know who you're challenging?"

Rong Taotao blinked, looked at the ethereal Teacher Si in the distance, and then at the senior on the side who was gloating, and shook his head in confusion.

The senior said, "Teacher Si Huannian, one of the four courtesies of Songjiang, known as 'Sugar,' AKA Songjiang Forget-me-not."

Rong Taotao was instantly bewildered.

What's all this fancy stuff...

A regular university teacher, how can she have a nickname?

But her name is indeed beautiful.

Fifty strings of the zither, each string and each column thinking of the past years?

"Have you heard of 'Forget-me-not'? Forget it, at your age, you probably haven't."

Rong Taotao was immediately unhappy. I might not be good at other things, but when it comes to music, you've met your match!

In the lonely years, Rong Taotao listened to songs that spanned the entire history of Huaxia music.

Who do you think you are, looking down on me?

Rong Taotao immediately said, "I am the top tough guy of Xindanxi No.1 High School, Rong Taotao, AKA the school radio station's human megaphone!"

The students: "..."

The senior asked, "Oh? How do you sing 'Forget-me-not'?"

Rong Taotao had no intention of showing off his singing, but he hummed softly...

"Let the weak understand cruelty, face life's coldness with a fierce heart..."

Just as Rong Taotao hummed the first line, he stopped and turned to look at Si Huannian with a strange expression.

She had just given him a piece of candy, which was clearly a sign of kindness. Could all this be a facade?

What is she going to do?

Is she going to break my legs?

Is it true that a woman's cruelty is proportional to her beauty?

"Shut up." Si Huannian smiled and glared at the talkative senior, who quickly retreated a few steps and hid behind the other students.

Laughter spread, adding a touch of joy to the icy landscape.

"Be gentle, Teacher Si!"

"Teacher Si! Don't hold back! Please give him a complete childhood, just like you did to me!"

Rong Taotao: "..."

Hearing the words around him, Rong Taotao was on high alert. He thought the university teacher would be gentle with him, but from the looks of the students, this teacher... seemed quite cruel?

More and more students gathered, and they were all ready.

A beautiful day starts with abusing newbies!

At this moment, the two middle school twin sisters also quietly joined, curiously observing this special battle, with a hint of surprise in their hearts.

We sisters have been fighting for a long time, and we haven't attracted the teacher's attention. What makes this little natural curl so special to spar with a university teacher?

Is he stronger than us?

Although the sisters were young, they were very confident in their growth history.

They could confidently say: 80% of college students don't have as much practical experience as we do!

Because they came from the inland region of Huaxia, the land of Sanqin.

Their hometown was right next to a star field vortex.

During their three years of junior high school, even before becoming soul warriors, they had already fought low-level star field soul beasts under the protection of their parents.

From this, it can be seen that the growth environment of star field soul warriors was hundreds of times better than that of Snow Region soul warriors!

The star field vortex next to their hometown was guarded by the Huaxia military, and the military would deliberately release low-level soul beasts for social soul warriors to train.

The sisters often chatted and laughed with star field soul beasts,

far surpassing those naive junior high school graduates...

"Show me your true strength, don't be too nervous," Si Huannian said on the training ground, her lazy voice sounding gentle, which made the students who knew her cruelty fall out of their seats.

What's going on?

Did she eat too much sugar today? Why is Teacher Si in such a good mood?

The students, of course, didn't know that Rong Taotao was a candidate for the young talent program, different from the middle school students who sneaked in to visit the school.

The students also didn't know that in Si Huannian's heart, the candidate she was evaluating was not Rong Taotao, but... Xu Fenghua's son!

With high expectations, Si Huannian swung her hands, and a flurry of snowflakes emerged from her wide white sleeves. In the next moment, two white swords made of snowflakes quickly extended from her sleeves, growing sharp snow blades.

Rong Taotao held the halberd with one hand, resting it behind his back, and said, "Do you need two swords to fight a kid?"

Hearing this, Si Huannian raised an eyebrow. Facing such a strong opponent, he wasn't afraid!

Is it the courage of a newborn calf?

Not only was he not afraid, but this little brat was even a bit clever, using words to distract his opponent.

Hmm, not bad, a bit interesting.

Si Huannian didn't say anything, just casually threw one of the swords on the ground.

Without the support of soul power, the snow blade quickly disintegrated, scattering in the cold wind like a dream.

Rong Taotao's body slightly bent, waiting for his opponent to make a move.

This was clearly the signal to start.

Si Huannian took a large step forward, with no fancy footwork or body movement, just walking straight towards Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao, along with the students watching from the side, took several steps back.

A cold current hit them, and Rong Taotao shivered.

What the heck is this?

Rong Taotao's face turned pale, his body trembling, but his mouth was firm: "A teacher uses soul power to oppress a kid?"

Although Si Huannian's face remained unchanged, she was secretly pleased: Not bad! Truly not a bit afraid!

His body shivered, which was a natural reaction to the cold, but his words still interfered with his opponent.

Si Huannian looked at Rong Taotao with interest and also reined in some of her aura.

Rong Taotao immediately changed his battle strategy. Taking a few steps back, he stomped his foot and advanced instead, charging forward with the halberd.

Rong Taotao's lunge was very stable, using the length of the halberd to his advantage. From two meters away, he directly thrust at Si Huannian's chest.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound, Si Huannian's sword struck the cold halberd tip from above.

The immense force left Rong Taotao no chance to resist.

The tip of the halberd Rong Taotao thrust forward was knocked to the ground, and Si Huannian stepped on the "well" shape of the halberd, continuing her forward movement!

In the next moment, her other foot stepped on the halberd shaft.

It was clear she was holding back; otherwise, Rong Taotao's halberd would have been knocked out of his hands and trampled on the ground.

She continued to step forward on the long halberd!

Rong Taotao's feet pushed hard, advancing again!

Each move surprised the watching students.

Rong Taotao held the halberd with both hands, even using his shoulder to support the shaft, stepping forward and pushing it up!

This was a typical "lever lifting a boulder" action!

Under Si Huannian's restrained power, the principle of the lever worked perfectly.

Rong Taotao used all his strength and finally got a reward! The two feet on the halberd shaft pushed Si Huannian back.

Si Huannian raised an eyebrow and did a backflip, and the snow blade in her right hand was thrown at Rong Taotao!

"Whoa..."

"Ah!"

"Damn!"

A chorus of exclamations, Si Huannian's body flipped in the air, with no support, using this method to buy time to land.

But... that rapidly spinning snow blade was aimed to kill!?

Rong Taotao had no time to react, but his body naturally made the right move.

Long-term practice and sparring with his master paid off at this moment!

Rong Taotao held the long shaft with both hands and his shoulder, stepping to the side and blocking it in front of him!

"Thud..."

The rapidly spinning snow blade hit the halberd shaft.

At the moment of contact, the snow blade shattered into snowflakes.

Si Huannian did attack, but she held back. The snow blade shattered upon contact, not aimed to kill.

The snowflakes immediately covered Rong Taotao's face...

Just as everyone thought Si Huannian would land smoothly, Rong Taotao, blinded by the snow, used his memory to predict her landing point and threw the halberd!

The halberd, in reality, was a well-shaped javelin!

There's an old saying in Huaxia,

If you don't return a favor, it's impolite!

Si Huannian, who had just landed, couldn't help but be impressed by the flying halberd!

As she landed, she reformed a snow blade in her hand and slashed down.

It was truly amazing!

The snow blade's landing point was precise, and her force control was exquisite. The halberd, which was thrust straight, was lightly knocked and spun in the air, standing upright.

Facing the upright halberd, Si Huannian kicked it out!

Aiming directly at Rong Taotao!

Rong Taotao, who had cleared the snow from his eyes, faced the upright and fiercely thrusting halberd, and took three steps back.

Seizing the opportunity!

Rong Taotao grabbed the halberd shaft, and his body spun back.

It was a classic "four ounces to move a thousand catties" move!

Rong Taotao's technique of unloading force was quite skillful. Holding the halberd, he followed its immense momentum, taking three more steps back and spinning in place.

The cold halberd tip drew a circle on the cement ground, making a screeching sound and even sparking.

"Wow? This record player has some moves!"

"Bro, it's not a record player, it's a megaphone..."

"Tsk... still at a disadvantage, physical attributes are completely overwhelmed."

"Right, brute force overcomes skill, in the face of absolute strength... wow! So fast!"

Rong Taotao had just dragged the halberd and spun around, barely stabilizing his stance. When he tried to face Si Huannian again...

A pale face appeared in front of him, blocking his entire view, with the distance between their noses less than 10 centimeters...

Rong Taotao was startled! Are you a ghost? When did you get here?

Also, in this face-to-face position, the halberd Rong Taotao had swung around would inevitably hit her, right?

How did she dodge it without making a sound!?

In a panic, Rong Taotao instinctively stepped back, but tripped and lost his balance.

But it didn't matter, he still had one foot and the halberd tip touching the ground to support his balance, but...

Si Huannian's right hand suddenly pulled, and the snow blade in her hand had turned into a snow-colored whip.

What made Rong Taotao lose his balance was the snow whip wrapped around his ankle.

"Hey? Hey?" Rong Taotao shouted, his body was lifted upside down by the long whip.

Rong Taotao hung upside down, holding the halberd and touching the ground to control his swinging, and in front of him was Si Huannian's calf.

"Nice," Si Huannian's raspy voice carried a hint of praise, "You can go two rounds with me."

Is it over?

It should be over...

The students around them had various expressions. They didn't see the one-sided beating they expected, which made them a bit uncomfortable.

This
