806: Chapter 792 Seeking Education 806: Chapter 792 Seeking Education “Captain Lu Ping’an, we’ve heard that you’ve just reported your arrival locally, and this ti the Examination Committee hopes to extend a special invitation to you to serve as either an examiner or an invigilator for this exam…”
When Lu Ping’an received the inquiry, he was a bit surprised and even puzzled.
But the person on the other end of the line was quite direct.
This ti, their project was cast on a large scale, but they did not plan to “hog it all”; they were ready to widely invite renowned civilian strongn, masters within the profession, and high-level combat powers from various places to participate.
In Lu Ping’an’s eyes, this was both a form of cooperation and perhaps a showy kind of competition, a literary duel of sorts.
If it were as an examiner, that would be one thing, as reputation and strength would suffice, but if as an invigilator, it obviously required taking to the field personally.
Perhaps, then, this was an alternative form of military exercise?
“How did you find through…”
Lu Ping’an wanted to ask how they had managed to track him down, whether it was through civilian reputation or a list sent from the Ancient city, which would directly determine the relationship and interaction pattern between them.
“Your performance on the Green Planet has earned accolades within the profession, with several title hunters jointly recomnding you as an examiner for this occasion…”
What happened in Changping State was mostly known to Changping City, especially when it was a matter of “great concern to the heavens.”
Those strongn and professionals involved in the war would also move throughout Changping State, and with Lu Ping’an making such a prominent appearance this ti, his fa had naturally spread.
Looking at it this way, it seed like an overture, perhaps also with a competitive intent…
“Send the details so I can review them and see if the timing works out…”
With an affair like this, whether it was an overture or a “competition,” Lu Ping’an seemingly had no reason to refuse.
And the chance to freeload so exam reference materials was a good thing, given the current state of being utterly in the dark.
But as soon as Lu Ping’an hung up the phone, it rang again.
“Sister Xia Qin?”
“Do you have ti these next few days?
My ntor would like to et with you, preferably during the day.”
Xia Qin, going to visit her ntor, had also called.
Never mind that Lu Ping’an really did intend to pay a visit to the Silky Realm Swordsman, Kun Siqi; it was a priority matter at hand.
Having arranged a ti for the visit, Lu Ping’an had just hung up the phone and hadn’t managed to exchange a few words with several ntors…
“Ding!”
The phone rang yet again.
This ti, it was a classmate from the “Changping State Young Cadre Training Class,” previously attended together.
They were arranging a al and, as he was in Changping State, naturally, he had to take the opportunity to get together…This was an official gathering of young civil servants, unlikely to be sothing he could refuse.
“Ding!”
His hand holding the phone was starting to go numb, Lu Ping’an realized that by logging his arrival and announcing he had co, he had also brought so trouble upon himself.
“…
Ah, discussing business?
New varieties of Magic Plants?
The Gardener trading platform under Lin Nu?
Of course, I’m interested—leave your contact thod; I have a big purchasing order.”
“Ding!”
“A al?
No need, lifesaving grace?
It’s really not that serious…
Alright then, tomorrow at noon it is; we shall gather then.”
It was a comrade from the Green Planet; now that Lu Ping’an had co to their city, he had to play the role of a gracious host in all respects.
“Ding!”
“What?
The local police station?
My cat has caused trouble, beating soone up, and I need to pay…
uh, I don’t own a cat, you’ve got the wrong person.”
“Ding!”
“The head of the local Saphire people’s Chamber of Comrce wants to invite for a al; he’s Wang Xier’s clan uncle…
uh, would it be impolite to schedule it for the day after tomorrow?”
For the first ti, Lu Ping’an felt sowhat overwheld.
He was beginning to realize that he was no longer the unnoticed nobody of the past; rely by entering the city, he had set off nurous ripples.
“Catherine…”
With a helplessly sighed, Lu Ping’an displayed the verve of a very busy person.
“Help draft a schedule, the visit to the Sword Saint is the top priority…
try to free up an entire chunk of dayti, I have so matters to attend to.”
He handed his phone directly to his “Secretary,” letting them arrange and handle everything.
“Ding!”
The phone rang again, but this ti, Lu Ping’an could focus his attention on the ntors before him.
“…Sorry, sorry, where were we?
Uh, I’m actually a bit short-staffed here, so if any of these students get a temporary pass, they might consider interning at my place…”
———–
———-
Exhausted in body and mind, Lu Ping’an finally found the ti on the third day.
In his mind, socializing was annoying and boring, but so invitations are kindly ant, and there’s no need to offend; others are out of gratitude, overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
After much thought, so things truly couldn’t be turned down.
Now, it seed he indeed wasn’t alone anymore.
But he knew more than ever what mattered most; thus, he treated visiting the Sword Saint as the most important matter…
“You want to learn the ‘Four Techniques’ from ?
Huh, you haven’t learned a bit, not even the basics.
Aren’t you Decree-level already, didn’t your teacher teach you?
That seems a bit inappropriate.”
Upon eting, Lu Ping’an brought up his request.
Yet Kun Siqi hesitated, even surprised.
Already Decree-level without any basics?
The Four Techniques, or also known as “Secret Keeper Four Arts,” are actually not professional abilities; they are “skills,” practical combat techniques for utilizing the “professional’s power.”
“My ntor is a Scholar-type Gardener, third-tier, and the other who taught …
she has special circumstances, and can’t teach the kind that requires hands-on experience to grasp the details.”
Lu Ping’an was sincere.
So courses could be skipped, but definitely not the Four Techniques, which are fundantal skills every Law Professional must master.
He could self-study, explore on his own, but obviously, that wouldn’t compare to guidance from a distinguished ntor.
“…Alright then.
Xia Qin is almost done anyway, and it’s ti to teach her too.
You can co listen in, but so parts involve our sect’s secrets…”
“I will voluntarily stay clear of those.”
After pondering for a mont, the “Sword Saint” graciously agreed.
The basics like the Four Techniques could actually be introduced by any high-level professional, but how far one goes with them depends on the individual.
Lu Ping’an knew his own potential all too well, and there was no need to refuse such a trivial matter.
Getting the affirmative answer, Lu Ping’an also breathed a sigh of relief.
Through his recent duels with Decree-strongn, he beca even more certain of his own “basic” deficiencies.
Originally, he had sought Big Cat for extra lessons, but she said she couldn’t teach them well.
And if he asked Fang Wen for tutoring…
well, it felt like sothing was missing.
Having a Rule-level combat-oriented bigwig help with these practical techniques, filling the “mandatory Decree-level combat power classes,” would save Lu Ping’an a lot of effort.
“So, tomorrow…”
“No need for that, co now.
Let see your basics…
and your progress.”
Laughing, recalling Lu Ping’an’s displayed potential during their last encounter, Kun Siqi was sowhat expectant.
These months had passed, and with his growth, now being Decree-level, he should have improved quite a bit.
For a high-level duel without worries of doom, Lu Ping’an naturally had no reason to refuse.
Half an hour later, amidst a scene of devastation, Kun Siqi’s expression turned from anticipation to shock.
Of course, he won; the current Lu Ping’an still couldn’t defeat Rule-level combatants, especially seasoned Rule-level ones.
Yet what Lu Ping’an showed wasn’t re improvent…
“…It’s like you’re a different person.
Even I need to be more careful now.”
While speaking, the bigwig was still surprised and hesitant.
“You, you really haven’t learned the Four Techniques?
Without the basic Four Techniques, how did you perform so many moves?”
“No…
”
“So you did learn a part.
Okay, we’ll skip the basics, straight to advanced applications…
”
“…No, I didn’t just fail to learn them, I hadn’t even started.”
This ti, it was the Sword Saint’s turn to be unsettled.
