C399 (1/2)
Instructor's office in the western courtyard of the Cosmic Star Academy.
Due to Chief Instructor Situ Zhentian going out on a mission, the Chief Instructor's office in the building had not been opened for several months. Whether it was the door or the office, there was no dust that accumulated on the floor.
When Situ Zhentian was not around, Sun Ke would call the cleaning staff every week to keep it a secret. Moreover, he would stay in the office to keep it a secret. He would only leave after the cleaning was done.
The office was simple, with red wooden desks and chairs, a row of flower racks with a few potted plants on them. The leaves of the hanging baskets fell like green plant walls, and the surrounding white walls were hung with landscape paintings, appearing elegant. At this moment, the fragrance of tea permeated the room, mixed with the smell of incense.
Sun Ke, Zhou Ze Qiang, and Xu Jiantao sat around the tea table. Opposite them was a man in his fifties. He had a strong build, tanned skin, and his sharp eyebrows and wide eyes exuded an imposing aura.
He was wearing a gray training suit with a white linen suit on the inside. A pair of walnuts were shining with a red porcelain gloss. His movements were slow and steady, as if each of his actions was accompanied by a hidden power.
The head instructor of the West Branch of the Chinese Supernatural Academy, the number one person on the Chinese Heavenly Martial Ranking, Situ Zhentian.
Although there was no absolute on the Heaven and Earth Martial Ranking, and the rankers might not understand the martial world of the entire China, but to be able to rank as the first place would definitely bring about a considerable amount of strength.
Situ Zhentian smiled at the three of them, ”You've all worked hard. I've been gone for so long, how have you all been?”
The three of them smiled and nodded. Sun Ke said, ”Chief Military Instructor, you can rest assured that all the classes will be conducted according to order. Among the new students, there are also many with outstanding abilities.”
Situ Zhentian slowly nodded and revealed a satisfied smile, ”Hehe, it's a bit late today. Tomorrow, I will go see old sir and see the strength of these little monkeys. I hope they won't feel too proud of themselves after this exercise.”
Hearing this, Sun Ke and the other two looked at each other in dismay with unnatural expressions on their faces.
Situ Zhentian hadn't been at the academy for a long time, so he naturally didn't know about the recent changes in the East and West Branch. From his point of view, the West Branch had won this exercise once again, there was no doubt about that.
Seeing the expressions of the three, Situ Zhentian narrowed his eyes and said, ”Haha, what is it? What's the matter? ”
Zhou Ze Qiang swallowed his saliva and said, ”Chief instructor, there is one thing …” I think I should report it to you. ”
When he finished speaking, Xu Jiantao and Sun Ke also nodded their heads. Zhou Ze was the strongest of the three of them, so he could be considered to be the oldest brother.
”Oh? ”Hehe, looks like I've missed something after I left. Ze Qiang, go ahead.” Situ Zhentian smiled and said.
Zhou Ze Qiang looked at Sun Ke and Xu Jiantao. Seeing that neither of them wanted to speak, he could only say it himself.
”Head Instructor, I'm sorry, we have let you down. This time, the drills in the courtyard … We lost. ”
”Lost? ”Hehe, what's going on?” The West Branch was single-handedly brought up by him, and he was even very familiar with every single student. After personal analysis and the analysis of the team, they came up with a set of tactics, it could be said that no matter who was in charge, they could easily defeat the East District. How could they lose?
Seeing that Zhou Ze Qiang was a bit embarrassed, Sun Ke said, ”Chief Instructor, I am responsible for this matter. There was a tactical error, so …”
Situ Zhentian slowly shook his head, ”A tactical error? Sun Ke, based on my understanding of you, shouldn't something like this go wrong? Furthermore, I understand the students of the West Branch, and I know the strength of the East Branch. Even if the West Branch were to be opened wide, they might not be able to break in. ”
The few of them looked at each other, and Xu Jiantao said, ”Chief instructor, the East Branch is not as you think. This exercise has also shocked us. Not only has the East Branch's overall strength increased, every student has been strengthened, and they also have an elite team.”
”An elite team?” Situ Zhentian couldn't help but laugh, ”Haha, the elite team of the East District?”
”Yes, Chief Instructor. The strength of this elite team is beyond my imagination.” Sun Ke nodded and said, ”This team is like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the heart of the West Branch, the headquarters!”
Situ Zhentian slightly furrowed his brows, he thought for a while and still couldn't believe what he had just heard. After all, the difference between the West Branch and the East Branch wasn't small, but the difference between heaven and earth. No matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to match up to the West Branch in just a few months, right?
”They... He called the west yard's headquarters directly? You've bypassed all of the checkpoints? ” If that was the case, then there was something wrong with Sun Ke's tactics. Not only were the checkpoints arranged in a front and back line, but they should also be protecting the headquarters from all sides. How could they leave such a clear path?
Zhou Ze Qiang shook his head and said, ”No, we have a checkpoint that will stop them. But they used the shortest time possible to step on that checkpoint and go straight to the headquarters. The time for this exercise is.....” Less than a day. ”
Situ Zhentian was truly shocked. It was understandable that the East Branch's strength had increased, but they could barely accept the fact that they had broken the West Branch's barrier. However, he couldn't understand how they had won the exercise, and what he couldn't understand was that they had ended the battle within a day.
”A team destroyed a checkpoint, attacked the headquarters, and defeated all the elite students left behind? It took less than a day?” Situ Zhentian said.
