Qin Xuan sent the tutorial of Thunder Knife to Han Sen, and Han Sen started to teach her.
Half an hour was a short amount of time. After explaining and demonstrating some techniques, Han Sen asked Qin Xuan to imitate him twice. And then half an hour was gone.
"How should I call you?" After the class, Qin Xuan felt even more respectful toward Han Sen. Even his casual compliments made her feel very inspired. She was more and more convinced that her opponent must be a master. However, she could not guess which military mogul he was.
"Call me soldier," Han Sen said casually. He did not want to expose his identity to anyone, and he was not interested in knowing who she was either. In Han Sen's eyes, this wasn't anything more than a transaction.
"Then I will call you coach in the future?" Qin Xuan firmly believed that he was a master, so she understood his desire to keep his identity confidential.
"That'll do as well." Han Sen added Qin Xuan as a friend and left the virtual campus. He understood many new things after the fight and would practice more on his own.
After Han Sen left, Qin Xuan recalled every single detail that Han Sen had taught her, and started to practice repeatedly. The more she practiced, the more respect she had for Han Sen. Just a simple technique could have so many variations.
Qin Xuan felt that trading Thunder Knife for a class like that was a very good deal.
In addition, Qin Xuan even thought that this person was cultivating her on purpose; otherwise, how could she have gotten a class from such a master using just Thunder Knife?
Qin Xuan couldn't have imagined that her "master" was actually Han Sen, whom she had bullied a million times before. In addition, the incredible skills were just a basic technique of the Dongxuan Sutra. Han Sen himself had only scratched the surface, and what he had taught her was even less than that.
"Han Sen, you have been training and studying quite hard," the fat squad leader said with a smile when Han Sen came back from the training hall.
"It doesn't hurt to learn more while I am young," Han Sen said, licking his lips.
"Han Sen, what is the use of reading those ancient words? If you have time, you should train more." Vice Squad Leader Liu Mingliang pointed to the pile of ancient language textbooks on Han Sen's desk.
Han Sen had purchased these books for a grand price before he came to Daphne. Many of the books couldn't be found in ordinary libraries.
"Many hyper geno arts are adapted from ancient martial arts, so it doesn't hurt to learn the ancient language," replied Han Sen.
Liu Mingliang did not continue the topic, but instead said, "Han Sen, since you graduated with the rank of major, shouldn't you be a sacred-blood aristocrat?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you that before?" Han Sen looked at Liu Mingliang, not sure why he would bring this up.
"This might be your opportunity then," Liu Mingliang said with a sigh. "Many comrades died on Daphne this time, including guards, the squad leaders of the warframe department, and the demolition team. When we return, many grassroot officers will be promoted for sure. Although you have not been in the army for a long time, you graduated from a renowned academy and have the title of sacred-blood aristocrat. Therefore, you will definitely have your chance. Although many veterans are majors like you, we do not have the title or background to be promoted."
Han Sen was enlightened. Liu Mingliang did make a good point. This time, Daphne had lost a lot of crew members. Even if the upper level would like to recruit more people, they would not be able to make such a large recruitment immediately. After all, a careful background check had to be conducted before one could enter Daphne, so not many soldiers could be recruited here.
It was almost inevitable that some original crew members would be promoted, which would be an opportunity for Han Sen.
If he could become a squad leader of a less busy department, such as the warframe team, he would have more time to study or go to God's Sanctuary.
In a quiet corner, Han Sen called Ji Yanran to ask about this matter.
"I was just about to tell you this. The upper level will promote some grassroot officers among the original crew members of Daphne. However, I don't want you to become the squad leader of other teams; I would prefer it if you could be my guard," said Ji Yanran.
"Guard? So I will be able to follow you anywhere. I love it." Han Sen was overjoyed. Being Ji Yanran's guard, he would have more time to spend with her alone. In addition, as long as she agreed, he would have infinite free time, which was much better than a squad leader.
Ji Yanran blushed and said, "You are full of dirty thoughts."
"How's that?" Han Sen glanced at her fair skin underneath her sleepwear and felt an urge to go to her bed immediately.
Ji Yanran rolled her eyes at him and said seriously, "Although I would like you to be my guard, there are things that are not mine to decide. I have recommended you as much as I can, but all I earned was an opportunity for you. Whether or not you end up as my guard is totally up to you. I do not feel we have a great chance, but it is worth a try. If it doesn't work, then I will try to recommend you as the squad leader of the warframe department."
"What opportunity?" Han Sen asked.
"I am given two guards. One of them is already decided and cannot be changed. For the other guard, there are four candidates including you. I am not allowed to decide which one of you becomes the guard, so you must fight it out," said Ji Yanran.
"Will my opponents be surpassers?" Han Sen asked, blinking.
"Not really, they are all evolvers, but one of them is very impressive," Ji Yanran said with a wry smile.
"How impressive?" Han Sen frowned and asked.
"He is a major, same as you. However, he is a forty-year-old veteran who has spent about two decades in the military." Ji Yanran paused and continued, "You have seen Li Mingtang using that hyper geno art, which cost him sixty years of practice. I will not say anything more than the fact that your opponent had already succeeded in learning Super Diamond Body. He served in the Blueblood Special Forces previously and was called the Tiger of Blueblood."
"Of course, his strength is more than just Super Diamond Body. He is almost always among the top three evolvers of military contests, while Wang Hou was not even top 100." Ji Yanran looked quite troubled.
