Chapter 50

Exit the virtual network cabin.

Li Yuan began today’s Martial Dao cultivation, first performing the basic cultivation method, then practicing the spear.

This had already become Li Yuan’s habit.

Until three-thirty in the afternoon, Li Yuan took a hot shower in the lounge before walking out of the Martial Dao room.

According to what Teacher Chen said in the morning.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a school-wide teacher-student meeting would be held, and everyone must gather on the playground and not be late.

Just closed the door of the Martial Dao room.

"Li Yuan?" A quite happy voice came from not far away: "You’re still in the Martial Dao room, hurry up, I thought I was the only one left."

"Xiao Qiang, you haven't left yet?" Li Yuan smiled, seeing the delicate-looking teenager at the end of the corridor at a glance.

Whether eating, going to the toilet, going to the playground, or leaving school, students like to find partners.

Boys were no exception.

After nearly a semester, Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan often met.

The relationship could be considered familiar.

After contacting more.

Li Yuan had long discovered that Gu Qianghan seemed to have a jumpy heart, but in fact, he had no bad intentions, and everything was written on his face; he was a very good friend candidate.

"Call me Gu Qiang! Gu Qiang!" Gu Qianghan jumped: "That’s what my sister calls me."

"Your sister can call you that, why can't I?" Li Yuan walked closer with a smile: "Let’s go, go downstairs."

"Of course my sister can call me that." Gu Qianghan walked in front on the stairs, turning half his head to glance at Li Yuan: "You’re not my brother-in-law, why should you call me Xiao Qiang?"

"What if I call you that?" Li Yuan smiled: "You can't beat me anyway."

"This exam, Martial Dao raw score, you seem to be not as high as me."

Gu Qianghan choked.

Indeed!

He had seen the grade sheet and already knew Li Yuan’s terrifying score in the January adjustment exam, raw score second in the grade... and it was far beyond the third place.

From the perspective of actual combat, whoever has a higher Martial Dao raw score often has a greater actual combat advantage and a higher winning rate.

"Cut!"

Gu Qianghan suddenly raised his middle finger: "So what if the raw score is higher than mine, I have a spirituality bonus, total score second in the grade, you are only..."

Seeing Li Yuan didn't respond.

"Forget it." Gu Qianghan suddenly realized that saying this was inappropriate, and waved his hand, pretending to be generous: "I forgive you for tricking me during the exam; remember to call me Gu Qiang in the future, Xiao Qiang is not what you should call me."

"Remembered, Gu Qiang~~~han." Li Yuan deliberately dragged out the sound.

"Damn, you don't have friends like this." Gu Qianghan glared.

Li Yuan and Gu Qianghan, the two of them conducted "friendly greetings" all the way and walked into the playground together.

At this time, there were only two minutes left until four o'clock sharp.

Most of the students in the school had already stood in order.

The teams of Class 1 and Class 2 of the third year were next to each other.

"Lanyue." The slightly plump girl Peng Qiqi bumped Lin Lanyue’s hand: "Look, why is your brother’s relationship with Li Yuan so good? Coming over so late together."

"Is it Li Yuan who wants to cross the river secretly?" Peng Qiqi winked: "First build a good relationship with your brother, then chase you."

"Qiqi, you’ve read too many romance novels." Lin Lanyue reached out and pinched her best friend’s neck, causing Peng Qiqi to giggle.

Many boys around couldn't help but look over.

In the Martial Dao class, there were quite a few who liked Lin Lanyue.

However, no one dared to confess.

"Hee hee." Peng Qiqi tried to block Lin Lanyue’s hand while whispering: "Then you say, why is he so good with Gu Qiang?"

"You don't know Gu Qiang’s personality?" Lin Lanyue shook her head lightly: "If you can press him to the ground and beat him several times, he is also willing to be friends with you."

"Gu Qiang and Li Yuan sparred?" Peng Qiqi asked in surprise.

"Hmm, their independent Martial Dao rooms are next to each other." Lin Lanyue nodded: "Fought virtual battles several times, and Gu Qiang lost every time."

Peng Qiqi was thoughtful: "That’s right, Li Yuan’s Martial Dao raw score was second this time, already over 900 points, not much lower than yours."

"Lower by 28 points." Lin Lanyue emphasized.

She actually paid close attention to Li Yuan’s score.

In the morning, the cultural homeroom teacher told her the score and ranking for the first time, and also told her about Li Yuan’s "single-subject technique score first in the entire district, second in the city."

At that time, Lin Lanyue was shocked by Li Yuan’s terrifying improvement speed.

However, in front of her best friend, she naturally didn't want to admit it.

"You remember his score so clearly."

Peng Qiqi giggled: "By the way, you said last time that you have to get on the podium to be qualified for you to like, I think, next time Li Yuan’s raw score might exceed yours."

Lin Lanyue blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering: "Wait until he exceeds me before saying that."

"Even if the raw score exceeds, the total score is still lower than mine; the one who gets on the podium is the number one in total score, not the number one in raw score." Lin Lanyue said lightly.

In her subconscious, she felt that Li Yuan already had hope of exceeding her in raw score.

"You’re just stubborn." Peng Qiqi smiled, suddenly sticking out her tongue: "Old Xia is coming over."

Teacher Xia was the cultural homeroom teacher of Class 1 of the third year.

"Today, the following leaders are visiting our school, they are: Director Zhang of the Guanzhan District Martial Dao Bureau, Guanzhan District Education Bureau... Hall Master Zuo of the Guanshan Branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, Hall Master Song of the Guanshan Branch of the Starry Sky Martial Hall..." The host teacher introduced the guests who arrived on the podium.

A full dozen or so people.

"Hall Master Zuo is here?" Li Yuan, standing in the team, looked at the woman with brown curly hair and heroic spirit on the stage, slightly surprised.

Logically, for a teacher-student meeting inside the school, why would so many leaders come?

Even the two major Martial Halls sent people.

"Brother Yuan, haven't you noticed? It seems quite a few reporters have come today." Yan Zhou whispered, pointing to the long guns and short cannons on both sides of the podium.

"Oh, yeah." Li Yuan nodded; he arrived at the playground relatively late and hadn't noticed it just now.

"Respected leaders, teachers..." Principal Tan Zhenlong had already begun his enthusiastic speech.

Principal Tan read the manuscript while looking at the thousands of students below, as if seeing a kind of vigorous vitality and everything competing for development.

Time passed.

Accompanied by the speeches of one leader after another, the students below had already started yawning.

Finally.

The most important part of today began — the commendation meeting.

"In this city-wide January adjustment exam, the students of our school fought bravely and created new achievements... Wan Qingling... and other ten students ranked in the top ten of the total cultural score."

"Lin Lanyue, Gu Qianghan... Li Yuan... and other ten students ranked in the top ten of the total Martial Dao score; please let all teachers and students express their congratulations to the above students, hoping that everyone can learn from them." The host teacher was impassioned.

Below, bursts of sparse applause sounded instantly.

Most students had been completely worn out of interest and just wanted to leave and return to the classroom as soon as possible.

Especially the first and second-year students, most felt they were here to act as cheap "NPC audiences," constantly giving friendly greetings to the leaders in private.

Below.

"Lanyue, it’s almost your turn to go on stage." Peng Qiqi whispered: "Come on."

Number one in total cultural score, number one in total Martial Dao score, according to convention, all have to go on stage to be specially commended and photographed by school leaders.

Lin Lanyue was very calm.

Similar things, she had experienced many times in her three years of high school, and she was very familiar with the process.

However.

The host teacher on stage didn't introduce the two grade number ones as Lin Lanyue and most third-year students expected, but instead handed the microphone back to Principal Tan Zhenlong, who walked up.

"Today’s meeting."

Principal Tan Zhenlong said solemnly: "Besides summarizing the January adjustment exam of the school and commending the excellent students, there is also a very special commendation."

Special commendation? This sentence immediately attracted the attention of many students.

"All students should know."

"Just a week ago, our Guanzhan District just suffered a serious Astral creature attack..." Principal Tan’s voice was low and oppressive.

At this moment, it pulled the originally somewhat dull atmosphere, and many students couldn't help but look up at Principal Tan, all very curious.

Special commendation? What does it have to do with the Astral creature attack?

Even Lin Lanyue, Gu Qianghan, and these students were quite curious.

"...However, when the initiated Astral creature rushed toward the crowd."

"At such a critical moment, at such a key moment, a seventeen-year-old high school student who happened to be passing by, regardless of his own safety, picked up the simple weapon beside him and took the initiative to stand between the Astral creature and the innocent masses..." Principal Tan spoke with emotion, telling the "fierce battle" that happened not long ago.

The thousands of students below also listened with relish.

Only feeling that this was much more interesting than the leader’s speech just now.

"Wow! Fighting an initiated Astral creature? Who is it?" Peng Qiqi in the team was a bit surprised, whispering: "Lanyue, is it you?"

In fact, not just Peng Qiqi, many third-year students in the elite class and even other classes had looked at Lin Lanyue.

All students realized.

Since Principal Tan gave such a speech, this student who fought the Astral creature must be a student of this school.

In the cognition of these students, it was probably only Lin Lanyue who could barely fight with an initiated Astral creature.

Besides Lin Lanyue, who else could it be.

"Not me."

Lin Lanyue shook her head, and a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Who?"

In fact, she had indeed fought with Astral creatures, but they were all in controllable venues, and she dealt with non-initiated Astral creatures.

Take the initiative to fight with an initiated Astral creature?

Lin Lanyue asked herself, she didn't have that courage and strength yet.

"Finally, after a hard and arduous battle." Principal Tan was still speaking: "This seventeen-year-old student struggled to kill this Astral creature and also saved the lives of many innocent masses."

"To commend this student for his bravery and outstanding contribution in the Astral creature attack."

"Jiangcheng Martial Dao Hall, Education Bureau, Starfire Martial Hall Jiangcheng Branch, Starry Sky Martial Hall Jiangcheng Branch... decided to jointly award him the 'Young Hero' model title." Principal Tan was passionate, his eyes shining: "Below."

"Let us invite student Li Yuan from Class 2 of the third year to come on stage."

"Accept the model title award commendation!"

"Wow!"

"Clap, clap, clap~" In an instant, the entire playground sounded with applause like a tide.

The first and second-year students all stretched their necks, full of expectation, looking toward the podium.

Wanting to see which senior was so awesome.

The classes near the team of Class 2 of the third year all stared with wide eyes at the teenager’s figure slowly walking out of the class team.

Wearing a white Martial Dao suit, with a well-proportioned figure and high-spirited eyebrows.

Under the attention of all, the teenager was calm, with a smile on his face, walking calmly onto the podium.

... "Lanyue."

"Li... Li Yuan, he really got on the podium." Peng Qiqi stared at the white figure with wide eyes, somewhat infatuated, suddenly whispering: "You really think Li Yuan is not good? If you don't want him, don't compete with me."

"Talk about it later." Lin Lanyue’s gaze fell on the podium, her eyes motionless.
