‘What weapon should he choose?!
This was the first time Chu Yunfan was considering this question!
In his memories, regardless of whether it was the Alchemy Emperor who was not very good at martial cultivation and whose cultivation had been expanded using medicinal pills, he was still a peerless expert who was addressed as an emperor.
The Alchemy Emperor’s vision was not lacking in the slightest!
‘When a true expert cultivated to the extreme, he could bring down a star from the sky using a blade of wild grass he had plucked from the side of the road. That was the pearl of martial arts!
However, it was clear that this level of expertise was not something that the current Chu Yunfan possessed yet!
To the other students, what weapon they chose would not have much impact. But to Chu Yunfan, what weapon he chose would have a huge impact!
The weapons courses offered by the school had 18 different types of martial skills. Even some of the more remote and unpopular weapons were available. It was just that there were very few people who would choose to take them. However, in the mainstream category were nothing more than knives,
spears, clubs, swords, bows, halberds, and axes.
In particular, those who used swords occupied the majority of the class. The image of Chinese swordsmen was stubbornly engraved into their bones. Even in the Kunlun Era, this had not changed.
The lightness of the sword was very much in line with the Chinese’s impression of chivalrous swordsmen. When gentlemen who had carried swords during the Qin and Han dynasty were all very proud of their weapons. The lightness of these swordsmen made them look ethereal. It was something that
many people yearned for in their bones.
When fighting with people, this could be achieved. However, if the opponent was a monster, then the sword would not be very powerful.
This was because, unlike humans, as long as a person was hit by the sword, they would either die or be injured. However, if the sword hits a monster, with the same strength used against a human, it might not even break through the monster’s defenses.
Moreover, the sword technique was more about picking and stabbing, Therefore, when fighting against a demonic beast, the effect of this weapon would be much weaker.
Of course, there was such a thing as a heavy sword. If it was a heavy sword, the effect would be another matter!
There were many experts who used swords. Their martial skills were profound and their bodies had been tempered for many years. They also had immense strength. In addition, many weapons were made of extremely precious alloys and were extremely sharp. Those high-grade custom-made swords
could easily cut through the armor of monsters.
There were also swords, spears, and clubs. And with the help of modern technology, their lethality was also astonishing and extremely shocking!
The students began discussing this with one another.
“What are you guys choosing? If it were me, I would choose to use a sword. A gentleman always carries a sword. I think the most suitable thing for me is to use a sword!”
“What do you mean gentlemen carry only swords? You’re just a showoff, hahaha!”
“Lwant to use a spear. In close combat, every inch counts. In particular, many monsters are huge. If the weapon can’t be used from far, one would easily be swept away!”
After thinking for a long time, Chu Yunfan finally decided to use knives. The momentum from a saber was thick and heavy, and it was easy to exert force when slashing. It was the most suitable method to deal with those monsters.
Moreover, he cultivated the supreme Mighty Eternal Emperor Method. His physical fitness was several times that of his peers. It could be said that his strength was boundless, and he was not inferior to those people with extraordinary talent.
Previously, Chu Yunfan and Feng Deying were at the same stage, but Feng Deiying was easily defeated by him. This was the reason.
And using a saber could also unleash his advantage without causing him to lose his flexibility!
“T’ve decided, I’ll use a saber!”
Chu Yunfan made a decision and proclaimed himself. Then, Chu Yunfan looked toward Tang Siyu, only to hear Tang Siyu say without hesitation, “Tl use a sword!”
The weapons chosen by the three of them were completely different. It was in line with their individual personalities and the path of martial arts they walked. As a woman, Tang Siyu naturally walked the agile path, displaying her advantage in speed. Gao Hongzhi, on the other hand, walked the wide-open
path of using a spear, which was very suitable for the overlord of weapons. As for Chu Yunfan, he had both advantages, so he chose to use a saber!
“All right, you guys can choose for yourselves what kind of weapon to use. Report it to me tomorrow and the school will give you weapons. They’re all sponsored by the Federation government. Of course, the quality of these weapons is just average. If you guys want to get your own weapons, that’s fine too.
But the cost of these weapons… you guys can decide for yourselves!” Qin Wu said.
Chu Yunfan listened and thought to himself, the government naturally would not allow students to fight those monsters bare-handed. However, the weapons issued were just ordinary.
If the receiving student’s family background was average, then it could be considered pretty good. However, if this student’s family background was good, like Gao Hongzhi, he would definitely find a private company that sold weapons and have them forge him some unique weapons.
Chu Yunfan’s family was not rich either, but he did not want to use those common goods, especially when fighting with monsters. If the weapon turned out to be a problem, the price he would have to pay would be death. However, the price of a private custom-made weapon was extremely high. He had to
think of a way to earn more money.
“Next, I’ll talk about a matter that’s related to who you are. Although you’re all the elites of the third grade of high school, based on the principle of selecting the best out of the best, a top 20 will be selected amongst you. The top 20 will become the focus of the school’s training, There are many benefits.
Moreover, we’re in a competitive relationship with Class 1. Of course, I hope that more than a few of you will be able to take the top 20 spots. At the very least, we can’t allow Class 1 to take all the spots!” Qin Wu looked toward a few in the crowd. It was obvious that he had high hopes for these few.
That was fine but many of them realized that Qin Wu had actually paused his gaze on Chu Yunfan. It was obvious that he had also added Chu Yunfan to his list of students he was paying attention to. This caused many people to be shocked because they did not know who Chu Yunfan was.
Because Chu Yunfan’s rise was too recent, they did not know who Chu Yunfan was. If it was Gao Hongzhi or Tang Siyu, they would not be so surprised.
Although Chu Yunfan was surprised, he guessed that Qin Wu was probably paying attention to him because of his talent in martial arts. But at the same time, he had noticed that Qin Wu’s gaze had also stopped on Tang Siyu. He was surprised that Qin Wu valued Tang Siyu so much.
“Ou Yang, I don’t know much about you. However, I hope that you can represent our class and take first place in the grade. You must not lose!”
Qin Wu finally retracted his gaze and turned to Ou Yang. It was obvious that he had high hopes for Ou Yang.
“Yes, sir!” Ou Yang was also unwilling to be outdone.
“The selection of the top 20 will begin in two months. I hope that all of you will do your best to bring glory to Class 2.. At the same time, you’ll also fight for a chance for yourselves!”
