Chapter 30: B-grade contract

"6.9? It was only 6.0 three months ago? 6.5 a month ago? His physical fitness is improving so fast?" Principal Tan Zhenlong was also extremely surprised.

Because of Xu Bo’s repeated recommendations, plus the fact that Li Yuan’s special recruitment materials were summarized a few weeks ago.

Therefore, Tan Zhenlong had a deep impression of Li Yuan.

It’s just that, in his expectation, Li Yuan’s body would probably only reach 6.6.

After all, under normal circumstances, the further one cultivates, the slower the improvement in physical fitness.

"In two months, improved from 6.0 to 6.5?"

"And in another month or so, improved by another 0.4?" Several vice-principals and Martial Hall martial artists were all very shocked.

A single 6.9 physical fitness? Not enough to surprise people.

Among the many people present, except for Li Yuan and the other students, almost everyone else was a martial artist.

Among the school leaders, the one with the worst physical fitness was at least 9.8.

In this era, the probability of martial artists holding high positions is much greater than that of non-martial artists.

Even compared to students, like the students in the third-year elite class, there were several whose physical fitness exceeded 7.0.

The one with the strongest physical fitness, Lin Lanyue, had already reached 8.5.

But what shocked people about Li Yuan was his speed of progress.

After all, everyone present knew that Li Yuan had not awakened his Martial Arts spirituality.

Can one’s physical fitness improve so fast by cultivating basic cultivation methods?

"Good." Xu Bo’s eyes lit up slightly.

He often observed Li Yuan through surveillance and knew that Li Yuan’s physical fitness was improving significantly.

But he didn't expect it to be so astonishing.

"Li Yuan." Xu Bo’s voice was like a bell: "Continue with the other two tests, be careful."

"Yes." Li Yuan was not stupid; he could see from everyone’s reaction that he was performing very well.

And Li Yuan also realized.

No matter which Martial Hall this mysterious Hall Master came from, this was an opportunity for him.

"Today, it should be what I heard before, that the Martial Hall comes to the school to inspect once a year." Li Yuan’s mind flashed this thought: "But in the past, it seemed they only inspected the elite classes."

"This opportunity was fought for me by Teacher Xu."

"Many times, good opportunities often only come once or twice."

He didn't think much.

Li Yuan had already arrived at the fist strength test field, set his posture, adjusted his body stance, and then suddenly swung his fist with force.

"Boom~" Accompanied by a dull explosion, his fist slammed into the huge sensing sandbag.

Instantly.

The screen above the fist strength test field clearly displayed: "454 kg (action qualified)".

After testing his fist strength.

Li Yuan didn't linger, adjusted slightly, and arrived at the entrance of the track.

A forty-meter-long test track!

Under the white light above the classroom, it shone on the dark red metal track.

"Hoo!"

Li Yuan adjusted slightly, took a deep breath, exerted force with his legs, and his whole body suddenly sprinted out.

Swish!

Like a residual shadow, Li Yuan had already rushed across the track and hit the buffer wall at the end of the track.

Tick!

On the electronic screen on one side of the end of the track, data had already appeared—"15.1 meters/second".

"Such fast speed."

"Did the life blood-Qi detector measure it wrong?"

"How could Li Yuan’s actual test data be so high?" A burst of low-voiced discussion, the school leaders and the five Martial Hall martial artists were all a bit shocked.

Why were they shocked?

Because Li Yuan’s fist strength data and explosive speed data had already exceeded the 7.0 physical fitness standard data stipulated by the Seven Star Alliance.

7.0 standard: 15 meters per second, fist strength 450 kg.

Normally, it is very normal for one of the actual data to be slightly higher or lower.

Like Li Yuan? Both items were on the high side?

Not normal.

"Good." Xu Bo and Tan Zhenlong looked at each other, and smiles appeared on both their faces.

"Teacher Xu, I’m done with the tests." Li Yuan walked back to the center of the classroom from the other end of the classroom.

"Old Wan." Xu Bo looked at Hall Master Wan.

"Don't rush."

Hall Master Wan had an inexplicable smile on his face and looked at the people behind him: "Instructor Xing, what do you think? Is he qualified?"

The five Martial Hall martial artists looked at each other.

"Hall Master." That Instructor Xing said in a low voice: "This little guy’s physical talent is indeed good... becoming a martial artist probably won't be difficult, but without awakening Martial Arts spirituality, wanting to sign in advance... I’m afraid it still needs to be considered."

Instructor Xing saw that the Hall Master and Xu Bo had an extraordinary relationship, so he didn't speak too definitively.

It’s just that, who present wasn't a shrewd person? Naturally, they could hear Instructor Xing’s true meaning—not qualified enough yet.

"Don't rush, you guys take another look."

Hall Master Wan smiled, and then looked at Xu Bo: "Iron Tower, the most powerful thing about this student of yours should be his Martial Arts skills... let’s test it and see."

"You saw it?" Xu Bo smiled.

"The life blood-Qi detector generally won't make mistakes." Hall Master Wan smiled: "But he can exert his strength and explosive speed beyond the norm... which shows that his ability to control his body is extremely high, and his force mobilization is probably close to perfection."

"From his walking posture, his basic fist technique should be close to perfection."

"I estimate that his Martial Arts skills are the strongest among the students in your school." Hall Master Wan said casually: "And, in all likelihood, it’s the kind that leads by a cliff-like margin."

Xu Bo and Principal Tan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"As expected of Old Wan, your eyesight is still sharp." Xu Bo smiled.

Xu Bo knew that Hall Master Wan had been in office for less than a week.

If he didn't check the previous materials, he probably still didn't know that Li Yuan had been selected for the Blue Star Youth List.

"Li Yuan, take out your long spear." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and shouted: "Come and perform the skill test."

"Yes."

Li Yuan walked to the weapon cabinet not far away. He had already heard Teacher Xu Bo’s instructions at noon and had prepared his weapon in this classroom.

At the same time.

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man in the Tang suit again: "What sharp eyesight."

Li Yuan also heard Hall Master Wan’s speculation.

After getting the big spear, the Martial Arts skill test had started, and many instruments above the classroom were activated.

Li Yuan held the big spear and stood face to face with Xu Bo.

"Come, attack me, show your spear technique to your heart’s content." Xu Bo held a long stick and said in a low voice. "Yes." Li Yuan nodded; he knew that his teacher intended to let him show his strength.

Without hesitation.

"Boom!" Li Yuan’s body was like lightning, he had already stepped forward, and stabbed with the spear fiercely.

"Clang!"

The long stick met the attack, hitting the spearhead.

If it were more than a month ago, Li Yuan probably wouldn't have been able to withstand just this one collision.

But now, his spear technique had already gone a step further.

"Whoosh~" The spear shaft followed the momentum, the back hand retracted, and immediately the strong hand touched it again. The spearhead shook and drew a large circle, and in an instant, it seemed to have transformed into dozens of spear shadows.

"Teacher’s physical fitness, what is revealed is about 7, attack." Li Yuan attacked fiercely.

As the saying goes, 'the spear fears the shaking head'.

This refers to the spearhead becoming unpredictable as the spear body shakes, which is also when the long spear’s attack is most terrifying.

!.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One spear after another, continuous and endless, stabbed at Xu Bo like lightning. Every spear’s power was extremely strong, fast, and accurate.

This was exactly another killer move that Li Yuan had just created not long ago—Ten Thousand Images of Mountains.

It is a spear technique of confusing attacks, and it is also suitable for group battles.

"Haha, not bad." Xu Bo smiled. He held the stick in his left hand and pointed it out one by one, each time hitting Li Yuan’s spearhead just right.

Making Li Yuan’s power unable to be fully exerted.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged dozens of moves.

"Li Yuan, be careful." Xu Bo suddenly roared, followed by a change in his pace, and the long stick stabbed out like a spear like lightning.

The timing was grasped too well.

This stick stab was exactly when Li Yuan had stabbed out a spear without success and was retracting his spear to withdraw his strength.

"Not good." Li Yuan’s spear technique changed immediately, from attack to defense. The proficiency of the move change made the martial artists outside the field feel surprised.

Without hesitation.

Li Yuan directly performed 'Pillar of the Foundation', his whole body was like a huge rock, frantically resisting Xu Bo’s attack.

Another dozens of moves of attack and defense.

Whoosh!

Xu Bo suddenly retreated sharply, widened the distance from Li Yuan, and smiled: "Good, stop."

Li Yuan stopped, his whole body’s blood-Qi was faintly boiling.

Too fierce.

Teacher Xu’s attack, seemingly not fast, was actually steady, accurate, and ruthless, hitting him until he had no power to parry.

"But at least, I defended for so long, a much bigger improvement than last time." Li Yuan took a deep breath.

At this time, Xu Bo had shaken the smart ring on his hand and said in a low voice: "Skill test finished."

Tick—

On the screen behind the classroom, the score was displayed—"374 points (college entrance examination standard)".

"374 points?"

"So high!"

"College entrance examination standard, and it exceeded 370 points?"

"I remember, Lin Lanyue just had 361 points, right?"

"Last year, the top graduate of the Martial Arts skill subject in Jiangcheng City only had a Martial Arts skill score of just over 380." Several vice-principals were completely shocked.

Lin Lanyue 361 points.

Li Yuan 374 points.

It seems the gap is more than ten points, but Martial Arts results are different from cultural course scores. Strong is strong, weak is weak, and there are rarely any abnormal performances.

After exceeding 360 points.

Let alone 10 points, even a gap of 5 points represents a clear gap in Martial Arts skills.

10 points means that if the two sides have a virtual battle, the result of the battle is almost without suspense.

"Our school, could it produce a city top graduate in a single subject? There is still so long before the college entrance examination."

"The quality of education in our district has never been considered good in the city." Several vice-principals looked at each other, and this thought popped up.

Especially the vice-principal in charge of 'teaching', his smile was the brightest.

"Fine, Li Yuan, put the weapon back first." Xu Bo said.

Li Yuan obediently put away the big spear.

"Old Wan, how is it?" Xu Bo threw the long stick aside and walked over.

"Instructor Xing? What do you think?" Hall Master Wan smiled, still not answering directly.

Several Martial Hall martial artists looked at each other.

"If he can awaken Martial Arts spirituality, he meets the C-grade contract standard; but without awakening Martial Arts spirituality, he is far behind, but enough for a D-grade contract." Instructor Xing hesitated and said.

In fact, in Instructor Xing’s heart, Li Yuan was still a little short of a D-grade contract.

High Martial Arts skills?

Not awakening Martial Arts spirituality, this is a hard injury.

"D-grade contract?"

Hall Master Wan nodded slightly, turned his head and said: "Iron Tower, Principal Tan, I want to talk to Li Yuan alone, is that okay?"

Talk alone?

Principal Tan and Xu Bo looked at each other, both thoughtful.

"Okay." Principal Tan did not refuse, with a smile on his face: "It is a good thing for Li Yuan that Hall Master Wan is willing to talk to him alone."

"Let’s go out first." Principal Tan greeted several school leaders and walked out of the classroom.

"Talk alone?" Only Li Yuan, who had just walked over, was still a bit confused.

What’s going on?

"Li Yuan, this is Hall Master Wan of the Guanshan Branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, talk well." Xu Bo whispered a word of instruction.

Hall Master of the Guanshan Branch of the Starfire Martial Hall? Li Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart, but his surface remained calm.

In his eyes, this was already a big shot.

Soon.

School leaders, Martial Hall martial artists, and three students all left the classroom, leaving only Li Yuan and Hall Master Wan.

The classroom door closed.

"Li Yuan, my name is Wan Qinghe." Hall Master Wan smiled.

"Hall Master Wan." Li Yuan felt uneasy in his heart, not knowing the other party’s intention.

"I want to invite you to join the Starfire Martial Hall and sign a contract in advance." Hall Master Wan smiled and looked at Li Yuan: "B-grade contract, passive upgrade clause."

"Once you awaken Martial Arts spirituality, it will immediately upgrade to an A-grade contract."

"How about it?"
