As soon as Li Changsheng saw Zhang Haoran, his eyes lit up, and he immediately threw the alloy sword in his hand aside: "The rich guy is here. Come get your shoes. Let me tell you, I added some special ingredients to your shoes. The leather is from a Fourth Rank Yao Beast. How about that? Am I good enough? Take a look and see if you want to buy anything else."
"Good enough, good enough, thank you, Li Teacher. Buy something else? Actually, I really want to buy a weapon. But since I haven't learned any weapon combat techniques yet, I don't know whether to buy a saber or a sword. And my mentor, Lü Fengrou, isn't letting me learn any other combat techniques right now. But I've heard people say your nickname is Chang Sheng Swordsman."
Li Changsheng immediately understood Zhang Haoran's meaning. He said with a smile, "So you've taken a liking to my swordplay? You have good taste, kid. Let me tell you, my ultimate swordplay, it's not in the combat technique room, and your mentor, Lü Fengrou, doesn't even know about it. I've created and continuously improved it over the past few years. It can be considered the Major Achievement of all my accumulated knowledge."
Zhang Haoran immediately became interested. It was important to note that this swordplay was never mentioned in the original work. Although Fang Ping had a good relationship with him at the time, Fang Ping used a saber.
After Li Changsheng, a Sixth Rank Martial Artist, defeated an Eighth Rank Martial Artist, he was rescued and became a pseudo-Eighth Rank. Later, he used Commander Li's Sky Breaking Sword Art.
So, the original work never mentioned what swordplay Li Changsheng practiced.
Zhang Haoran excitedly asked, "Li Teacher, what is this swordplay called? Can I learn it?"
Li Changsheng didn't know where he pulled out a bottle of wine and took a delightful gulp: "You want to learn? But I can't teach you right now. Since your mentor told you not to learn combat techniques recently, you should still listen to your mentor.
Speaking of which, did you eat some miracle grow, kid? It's only been a few days since we last met.
How did your Qi and blood increase so much? Also, how did you temper your bones? This is too fast. No wonder your mentor isn't letting you practice combat techniques right now.
With this bone tempering speed, why don't you seize the time to raise your Rank? When your improvement slows down, then slowly practice combat techniques."
Zhang Haoran still trusted Li Changsheng very much and wasn't afraid of him seeing through anything.
So he pretended to be very melancholic and said, "Sigh, Li Teacher, I can't Breakthrough to Second Rank this month. That wouldn't be good for me; it's easy to get targeted. I need to stay at First Rank Peak for a while longer, which is why I want to practice combat techniques."
Seeing his pretentious act, Li Changsheng didn't pay much attention. However, he did understand the meaning behind Zhang Haoran's words. So he casually asked, "How much longer until you reach First Rank Peak?"
"About eight more days. I can easily temper one bone a day now."
"Then wait until you're at First Rank Peak, and ask your teacher again."
Li Changsheng was also shocked by his bone tempering speed.
Today is the tenth, so in eight more days, it will be the eighteenth. School started on the second, and Zhang Haoran only became a disciple on the third. That means he became a Martial Artist at the earliest on the fourth.
By this calculation, in just half a month, he would be at First Rank Peak.
Is this something a human can do?
Zhang Haoran heard there was a chance, and since First Rank Peak wasn't far off, he quickly said, "Then I'll come back to learn when I'm at First Rank Peak. But even if you don't teach me swordplay today, you at least have to tell me the name of this swordplay, right?"
Li Changsheng also understood that Zhang Haoran was trying to confirm that he would teach him.
However, Li Changsheng didn't mind. He couldn't take his swordplay to the grave, could he? It would be submitted sooner or later. Li Changsheng said with a very calm expression, "Chang Sheng Swordplay."
Seeing Zhang Haoran looking at him with a surprised expression, he thought he hadn't understood, so he explained, "My name is Chang Sheng Swordsman, so naturally, I use Chang Sheng Swordplay."
He nodded as if enlightened and solemnly performed a Martial Dao salute to Li Changsheng, which made Li Changsheng feel bewildered.
Zhang Haoran said solemnly, "I've learned something new. You are called Li Changsheng, so you are Chang Sheng Swordsman, and your swordplay is Chang Sheng Swordplay.
Then I am called Zhang Haoran, and in the future, I will be Haoran Sword Master. What I use will also be Haoran Swordplay. Thank you, Li Teacher, for teaching me."
After thanking him, he picked up the alloy boots and left.
Zhang Haoran had left, but Li Changsheng was in a daze, thinking, "This kid wouldn't learn my Chang Sheng Swordplay and then directly rename it Haoran Swordplay, would he? It's very possible! What can't these young people do nowadays?
No way! No way!
But how does this kid's words imply that meaning?
Maybe this kid will go back and be called Haoran Sword Master. Then, if he learns Chang Sheng Swordplay and someone asks, he'll definitely say it's called Haoran Swordplay.
No, I have to submit the swordplay quickly. What if this kid learns the swordplay and then renames it Haoran Swordplay and submits it? Then who would know about Chang Sheng Swordplay? They might even think it was originally called Haoran Swordplay."
As for not teaching Zhang Haoran, Li Changsheng hadn't considered that. Since he had already agreed, he had to do it.
Besides, his swordplay would be submitted sooner or later. Even if this kid didn't learn it today, he would go and learn it in a couple of days once it was submitted.
While Li Changsheng was lost in thought, he saw Zhang Haoran rushing back, still carrying those shoes.
He saw Li Changsheng looking at the shoes in his hand. He also felt that carrying shoes everywhere wasn't right, so he directly put on the alloy shoes.
He threw the shoes he took off directly on the ground because he didn't find a trash can.
Li Changsheng glanced at the shoes Zhang Haoran had thrown down, and suddenly a burst of Qi and blood erupted, startling Zhang Haoran.
Looking again, the pair of ordinary sneakers had disappeared, leaving only a pile of powder on the ground.
Zhang Haoran was dumbfounded. You can't scare people like that!
Li Changsheng waved his sleeve, and the layer of powder automatically flew out of the window. Nothing was harmed during the process.
Li Changsheng's control of Qi and blood was truly astonishing.
More importantly, he couldn't learn this kind of invisible and elegant showing off.
Old Li picked up the wine bottle again and took a gulp. He was actually secretly admiring Zhang Haoran's shocked expression.
Li Changsheng casually asked, "Why did you run back again, kid? Did you forget to exchange something?"
Zhang Haoran also realized that Li Changsheng was demonstrating his strength, and he really had forgotten to exchange something.
So he said with a serious expression, "Li Teacher, I'm not 'kid,' please call me Haoran Sword Master."
Pfft! The mouthful of wine Li Changsheng had just taken sprayed out.
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, sure enough! It seems I must submit the swordplay right away. Otherwise, there might be no Chang Sheng Swordplay in this world, only Haoran Swordplay."
At this moment, Zhang Haoran said with a dark expression, "What's wrong, Li Teacher? Didn't you teach me this? You can be called Chang Sheng Swordsman, so why can't I be called Haoran Sword Master?"
Li Changsheng didn't want him to think of Haoran Swordplay. He quickly said, "Nonsense, Haoran Sword Master is not bad either. Tell me, what else do you want to exchange?"
Zhang Haoran also felt that Haoran Sword Master sounded quite pleasant to the ear.
