There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 50 Villain Chen Zui

"Alright, let's get ready for class."

However, at this moment, a young man's voice came from the training ground. Lu Ren and the others looked over and saw a young man of the same age as him, who was serious and unsmiling.

"The teacher is here."

"It's Teacher Chen! Is today a swordsmanship class?"

"Time to get ready for class."

Shen Peijue was a little confused. Seeing that his older siblings had all dispersed, Lu Ren squatted down and gently wiped his sweat, saying:

"Did Xiaojue have fun?"

"Mmm! Happy, happy!"

"We'll play again next time. Now the teacher is here, and we're going to have our swordsmanship lesson. Xiao Jue, do you know what swordsmanship is?"

The little one was a bit confused. "Swordsmanship...?"

Lu Ren said to a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old next to him, "Tian Tian, ​​why don't you explain this to Xiao Jue?"

Tian Tian is a slightly "chubby" little girl who always carries snacks in her pocket. Although she is only 8 years old, she looks stronger than some 10-year-old boys.

"Okay~ Xiao Jue, come over to Sister Tian Tian~"

"Xiao Jue wants to sit with me, quickly sit here."

Lu Ren looked at the youngest children and rubbed their heads. "Make good friends. After class, your brother Lu Ren will buy you some snacks."

He then walked away to retrieve his bamboo sword for practice.

The young man who taught swordsmanship was originally a member of the Shen family, but he did not awaken the white-haired shaman of the Shen family. Instead, he awakened the swordsmanship profession of his mother family, the Chen family of Shushan. Therefore, he changed his surname to Chen and returned to his mother family.

Now that he's back here for summer vacation, the clan has assigned him the task of teaching children.

This was a young man with a stern face, who was very dignified despite his young age. I heard that all the members of the Chen family in Shushan were like this.

"Alright, today we're going to learn about the precautions to take when dealing with small void beasts..."

Before the appearance of the Void Beasts, all of humanity's fighting skills and techniques with swords, spears, and halberds were developed to deal with humans.

But everything changed after the appearance of the Void Beasts. Almost all the techniques and moves for killing enemies were developed with the aim of hunting Void Beasts in mind.

Void beasts can be roughly divided into three types based on their size: super-giant void beasts, medium-sized void beasts, and small agile void beasts.

One cannot treat all virtual beasts of different sizes the same way; their moves and techniques will differ.

Today we're talking about dealing with small virtual beasts. Low-level ones are generally small, but there are quite a few high-level ones as well.

"The threat posed by these virtual beasts lies in their speed, numbers, and evasion; swordsmanship should focus on area control and rapid attacks..."

Lu Ren and Lu Youhe listened attentively, while Ji Liguang sat there yawning a little, because she had taken similar classes here when she was a child.

As for the Shen family's kids, the older ones were listening attentively, while the younger ones were making quite a few small movements.

Suddenly, Lu Ren felt something soft touch him. He turned his head and saw that Xiao Jue had sat down next to him at some point.

Lu Ren smiled at her, not paying any attention.

"Next, let's have a practical demonstration. Lu Ren, you and I will demonstrate for them."

It's worth mentioning that almost no one in the Shen family harbored any ill will towards him, except for the cold-faced swordsmanship teacher in front of him.

Chen Zui, 17 years old, is in the bottleneck period of the Candle Illumination Realm, and is a warrior.

This person is the young lady's cousin, beyond the fifth degree of kinship. They were also in the same "training class" in the Shen clan's territory when they were young, and they can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Shen Yaoxing said that this person used to bring her all kinds of delicious food, and Chen Zui would try to get her whatever she wanted.

Lu Ren suspected that he had a crush on his cousin and was now jealous that he could be by Shen Yaoxing's side.

It's such a soap opera, but I still can't beat Chen Zui. Every time he settles a personal score, he calls Chen Zui out for a sparring match and then beats me up.

The two of them were just sparring at first, and their movements were very slow as they demonstrated what they had just learned in class.

Then, after a little bit of actual combat was introduced, the opponent's movements became noticeably faster.

"You rushed in too aggressively; you need to save some energy for a change of tactics."

"The center of gravity is too unstable, and the lower body feels like it's walking on cotton."

"His gaze is so direct that I have to be alert to any movement of my shoulder."

Chen Zui's accusations were anything but polite. The bamboo sword struck Lu Ren, causing a dull ache. He must not have used his full strength; he had simply overwhelmed Lu Ren with his swordsmanship.

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed in the arena, and a little boy ran out anxiously.

"No, don't bully Brother Lu Ren—"

Although he was only three or four years old, the child could sense who was kind to him. When he saw that Lu Ren seemed to be bullied, he immediately rushed out.

The chubby little Tiantian quickly ran out to stop the little one, as it would be bad if he ran over and accidentally got hurt.

Both of them were stunned for a moment. The sound of the wooden sword striking stopped for two seconds, and then with a thud, Lu Ren was struck on the head again.

"Why--"

He turned around and saw the other person with a cold face, saying:

"Distraction in battle will cost you your life. It doesn't matter if you die, but don't drag your comrades down with you. Do you really think you can protect Yaoxing like this?"

Lu Ren covered his head and rolled his eyes at the guy.

He squatted down and said to the little one with a smile:

"Xiao Jue, don't worry, we're just training. This older brother isn't bullying me; he's teaching me swordsmanship. We're... well, we're playing a game. It's just a game."

The little toddler was a bit worried. "Really? Brother got hit... Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. Look, the other older brothers and sisters are all watching. How about I play with Xiaojue after we finish training?"

Lu Ren gestured to Tian Tian, ​​asking her to comfort the little one and then take her back.

He looked at Chen Zui, picked up the bamboo sword, and said, "Let's go again."

The kids around him cheered him on:

"Go for it, Brother Lu Ren!"

"Brother Lu Ren, keep it up!"

"We must defeat him!"

It would be too unbecoming for the eldest brother to be so pathetic being watched by so many underlings.

Lu Ren calmed down. He had been beaten for a week, and he had made progress. At least he could feel the improvement he had made over the past week.

That damn sister-obsessed pervert! Don't underestimate the competitive spirit of middle-aged men!

Then Lu Ren got a beating, and with a final horizontal slash, he was sent flying several meters away.

He lay on the ground in a defeated posture, as if he had burned out.

"Brother Lu Ren!"

"Damn it, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of Brother Lu Ren!"

"Let's defeat him together!"

Chen Zui remained expressionless, defeating each of the kids with a single sword strike, bringing them all to the ground.

With a cold expression, he said, "Did you all remember what I just said? Now, pair up and practice for half an hour."

But at that moment, another person stood up.

Chen Zui looked over and saw Ji Liguang with a willow twig in his mouth and her bamboo sword in his hand as he approached.

"Chen Zui, I didn't expect you to have become so capable in just a few years."

"Ji Liguang? You want to fight me?"

"You might not know this, but this kid is my future teammate. Although he's a bit of a good-for-nothing, you can't just stand by and do nothing when your teammate is being bullied."

"Okay, come on."

Five minutes later, another figure flew out, and Ji Liguang landed next to Lu Ren.

Chen Zui was two years older than them, and although Ji Liguang's life attribute was 500 during the day, his physique wasn't much higher than Lu Ren's. Generally, warriors in the Candle Illumination Realm had a physique of one or two hundred, with some geniuses having over two hundred, and Chen Zui's physique was no exception, even at three hundred.

She could probably win in a no-rules fight, but she'd be completely outmatched in swordsmanship.

"Sister Li Guang!"

"You bastard, you really are a big bad guy!"

"Let's go together!"

Chen Zui remained expressionless, then finished off the enemy with a single sword strike, before inspecting the children of his clan practicing their swordsmanship.

The older students studied very hard, and he would point out areas for improvement.

The younger kids were just fooling around with their swords, and he didn't bother them. It was just that these little devils would come over from time to time to cause trouble, saying they wanted to avenge their older brother, which was a bit annoying.

After looking around a few times, he looked at the boy sitting on the ground playing with the little one and asked:

"Have you rested enough?"

Seeing that this person was coming to cause trouble for him again, Lu Ren told Xiao Jue to play by herself for a while, took a deep breath, and then got up.
