Chapter 51: Generous Rewards

On the podium, a group of leaders stepped forward one after another to take photos and shake hands with Li Yuan, while also offering a few words of encouragement in low voices.

Most were platitudes.

"Li Yuan, you did well in the exam, and killing the star realm creature last time also won a lot of face for our Martial Arts Hall." When it was Hall Master Zuo's turn, her face was already smiling like a flower, and her eyes looking at Li Yuan were full of care.

It was as if she were looking at her own nephew.

In interpersonal relationships, the first impression is very important.

Hall Master Zuo had an excellent first impression of Li Yuan.

On top of that, after returning last time, Hall Master Zuo reviewed Li Yuan's many materials and concluded that Li Yuan's character and temperament were top-notch.

In her heart, Li Yuan was a junior very worthy of cultivation.

"Thank you, Hall Master." Li Yuan was also full of smiles.

Li Yuan knew very well that being able to create such a big momentum and earn the honorary title of 'Youth Hero' was first because he killed the star realm creature.

However, it was absolutely inseparable from the operations of the Star Fire Martial Arts Hall behind the scenes.

Otherwise, would someone who made a contribution necessarily be able to get a reward?

"Li Yuan, this is Hall Master Song Yi of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Hall." Hall Master Zuo introduced with a smile: "Speaking of which, she can be considered your benefactor."

Song Yi's face on the side changed slightly, looking a bit ugly, but she couldn't show it.

"Hello, Hall Master Song." Li Yuan pretended not to know anything and said seriously.

Li Yuan, of course, knew who the other party was.

When he agreed to sign with the Star Fire Martial Arts Hall, he had heard Teacher Xu Bo mention the other party.

The other party was Zhong Cheng's direct superior and was most likely the one who decided to give him the D-level contract.

"Hmm, the young man is quite good, keep working hard." Hall Master Song managed to squeeze out a smile.

When she learned that it was Li Yuan who had won the 'Youth Hero' title, she already didn't want to attend the event.

However, Lu Huai required her to attend on behalf of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Hall.

Off-stage, a group of reporters were taking photos.

Killing a first-level star realm creature was actually a small matter; the key was that it was done by an underage high school student... This was a rare highlight in this star realm creature attack incident.

It had important propaganda value.

And the students on the playground, whether third-year or first-year students, were mostly discussing in low voices.

Mostly words like 'so amazing', 'awesome', 'this senior is named Li Yuan?', 'so handsome'.

If Li Yuan only had good grades, it would actually be difficult to win the favor of most students, and might even breed jealousy.

But life-and-death combat with a star realm creature?

One must know, in this era, the entire society extremely worshipped martial artists who could fight with star realm creatures, and students were the same.

Li Yuan's behavior, in the eyes of most students, was more than ten times more amazing than those students who were first in exams.

Heroic blood, youth yearning, it has been like this since ancient times.

"Lanyue, are you still looking at Li Yuan?"

Peng Qiqi waved her hand in front of Lin Lanyue and couldn't help laughing: "You're staring blankly, could it be that you really fell in love with Li Yuan?"

"Not love." Lin Lanyue shifted her gaze to her best friend and smiled: "Just thought of some things, inexplicably a bit emotional."

"What things?" Peng Qiqi was puzzled.

"Li Yuan's family background is not very good." Lin Lanyue said: "He also hasn't awakened martial arts spirituality, even though his skill talent is extremely high... but to have his current achievements, he must have put in a lot of effort."

Peng Qiqi was stunned.

She hadn't thought of this at all.

"Just like you said, he looked very handsome on the podium." Lin Lanyue continued: "It's just that when he took the initiative to fight the star realm creature, he must have only wanted to save people, not thinking about what rewards he would get."

"Before this, he most likely hadn't fought a star realm creature."

"Daring to take the initiative to fight." Lin Lanyue seemed to recall something and sighed softly: "It takes a lot of courage."

"Lanyue, what exactly are you trying to say? Do you like him or not?" Peng Qiqi became more and more confused.

"It has nothing to do with liking." Lin Lanyue pinched her best friend's round face and smiled: "I just."

"Admire him quite a bit."

The school-wide teacher-student meeting ended, the leaders left, and then the students of each class returned to the martial arts classroom in an orderly manner.

Continued class.

Li Yuan followed Principal Tan Zhenlong to the principal's office.

As soon as he entered the door.

"Teacher Xu? Director Li?" Li Yuan found that two people were already waiting here and greeted them.

Director Li was a representative from the Education Bureau.

"Li Yuan, sit down." Principal Tan greeted Director Li and the others first, and then let Li Yuan sit down.

Li Yuan obediently sat on the single sofa and looked at the few people.

Being specifically called over, the matter must not be simple.

"Director Li, you should be the one to say it." Principal Tan smiled.

"Hmm, okay." Director Li wore a black work uniform, had a square face, and looked at Li Yuan: "Student Li Yuan, your matter has been communicated between our Education Bureau and the Martial Arts Bureau."

"Calling you here is to tell you a few things."

"First, the special scholarship specially applied for by your Principal Tan and Teacher Xu has passed the approval. Before six o'clock tonight, the 500,000 Blue Star Coin reward will be credited to your account." Director Li smiled: "This is a national reward and will not be taxed."

"Special scholarship?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised, and excitement arose in his heart.

500,000 Blue Star Coins!

Immediately, Li Yuan subconsciously looked at Teacher Xu Bo on the side.

Li Yuan remembered that Teacher Xu Bo said he had to rush into the top five of the grade.

Xu Bo nodded slightly, signaling Li Yuan to stay calm.

"Second, you won the Youth Hero title, which is a martial arts title. According to regulations, it meets the bonus points regulations, and there will be 20 points of martial arts special bonus points in the college entrance exam." Director Li continued: "But the bonus points cannot be superimposed. If you awaken martial arts spirituality before the college entrance exam, you can only choose one of the two."

"I understand." Li Yuan was even more delighted.

In the college entrance exam, there are many bonus items, such as spiritual awakening, hero title, martyr orphan, etc., but multiple bonus points cannot be superimposed.

And Li Yuan knew clearly.

Spiritual awakening? From the perspective of the Heart Palace panel, it seems very difficult to fit the seven high-level cultivation methods, and Li Yuan almost didn't count on it in his heart.

Then.

These 20 bonus points are very important.

"Third, in this monthly exam, your martial arts skill score was the first in the district and the second in the city. In view of your situation, the district decided to reward you with 100,000 Blue Star Coins separately, which is to add bricks and tiles to your martial arts cultivation." Director Li smiled: "I hope you don't think it's too little."

"It's a lot." Li Yuan said quickly: "Thank you, Director."

"No need to thank me." Director Li smiled: "If you want to thank someone, thank the country. For true martial arts geniuses, even if they haven't awakened martial arts spirituality, the country has great support and cultivation efforts."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The more he cultivated, the more he could feel the advantages of high-level cultivation methods. If he could only cultivate basic cultivation methods, wanting to grow into a level 19 martial artist... was extremely difficult.

Must consume huge resources.

Therefore, the country will not easily provide help, and must choose the best among the best.

After sending Director Li away, Principal Tan and Teacher Xu Bo returned to the office.

"Li Yuan, satisfied?" Xu Bo laughed.

"I was already very satisfied before, this time I have to thank Teacher Xu even more, thank the Principal." Li Yuan said quite gratefully.

Immediately, Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Tan Zhenlong: "Principal, didn't you say last time that I had to rush into the top five of the grade in total martial arts points to have a chance to apply for the special scholarship?"

"Top five of the grade? I said that?" Principal Tan was stunned: "Why is my requirement so high? Didn't I say that top ten of the grade could compete for it?"

Now, it was Li Yuan's turn to be stunned.

The principal only required top ten of the grade?

"Li Yuan, the principal is a bit old and confused, it's normal not to remember after such a long time." Xu Bo said repeatedly.

Subsequently, he grabbed Li Yuan's shoulder, just like a big pair of pliers clamped Li Yuan.

"It's very late, the principal still needs to rest, let's not disturb the principal's rest."

Whoosh!

Xu Bo took Li Yuan, and with a flash, he rushed out dozens of meters, without even closing the door.

"Top ten?"

"Top five? This Xu Bo." Principal Tan had already reacted, shook his head and laughed: "Aim high and get the middle? But this high must also be moderate."

"Aren't you afraid that the standard set is too high, making Li Yuan give up directly?" Principal Tan sighed: "However, Li Yuan is indeed excellent."

"In the college entrance exam, can add 20 points."

"It seems that even without awakening martial arts spirituality, Li Yuan should be able to get into the five major prestigious schools." Principal Tan showed a smile.

Political achievements?

At his age, there was no hope of promotion.

He just simply hoped that in his last term, he could cultivate more excellent students.

Office building, Xu Bo's martial arts room.

"Star Fire Martial Arts Hall, will there be a reward?" Li Yuan looked at Teacher Xu with slight surprise.

"Yes."

Xu Bo, who was like an iron tower, smiled: "You performed so well this time, the Star Fire Martial Arts Hall will naturally give you some extra rewards... Joining the Martial Arts Hall, the reward for signing a contract is uniformly stipulated by the highest level of the Martial Arts Hall, no one can change it."

"If you are mediocre after signing the contract, then you will follow the contract step by step."

"However, in this process, if you have performance that exceeds expectations, even if you cannot raise the contract level, the lower-level Martial Arts Hall you belong to will also give extra rewards."

"If the performance is excellent enough, the Martial Arts Hall will even raise the contract level." Xu Bo explained to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan suddenly realized, he only knew about the contract upgrade, and didn't know much about the others.

Li Yuan wisely didn't pursue the top five or top ten.

He immediately understood that Teacher Xu didn't want to lie to himself, just wanted to better motivate himself.

"By the way."

"Have you seen the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University?" Xu Bo asked.

"Teacher Chen said, I agreed." Li Yuan said.

"You can go." Xu Bo smiled: "Teacher Chen is not the martial arts class teacher, maybe he doesn't know, but I can tell you, this invitation is not organized purely by Jiangbei Martial Arts University."

"Hmm?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"Although the location is at Jiangbei Martial Arts University, the five major prestigious schools will all send people to observe." Xu Bo smiled.
