Chapter 29: Shocked Xu Bo

Seeing the middle-aged man in the Tang suit ignore them and talk directly to Xu Bo, the faces of several vice-principals changed slightly.

They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xu Bo.

Previously, although several vice-principals had heard many rumors, they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, and they still had some doubts about Xu Bo in their hearts.

Now? There were no more doubts.

Only Principal Tan Zhenlong was the calmest; he knew Xu Bo's background best, which was why he specifically called Xu Bo to the school gate to welcome him.

The result was as he expected.

"Iron Tower, your hand, I heard..." The middle-aged man in the Tang suit looked at Xu Bo's silver mechanical right arm.

"Old Wan, it's all in the past."

Xu Bo waved his hand and smiled: "Today is your first time visiting our school during your tenure; let's talk about business first."

"This is Principal Tan." Xu Bo introduced him proactively.

"Principal Tan." Hall Master Wan smiled slightly.

"Hall Master Wan, hello. I have long heard of Hall Master Wan's prestige in the Star Realm." Principal Tan bowed slightly and reached out proactively.

Principal Tan lowered his posture.

As the Hall Master of the Guanshan District Branch of the Starfire Martial Hall, Hall Master Wan had a very high status.

This status came from the prestige of the Martial Hall and even more from Hall Master Wan's own strength.

"Principal Tan, let's go into the school." Hall Master Wan smiled: "I just returned from the Star Realm and am not familiar with many things, so let's follow the usual practice and take a look at the students in the three elite classes first."

"Good."

"Hall Master Wan, please this way; the students of the three elite classes are all waiting in the martial arts classroom." Principal Tan smiled.

A group of people crowded into the school.

……

Two hours later, a group of people surrounded Hall Master Wan, Principal Tan, and Xu Bo as they walked out of the Elite Building together.

"Principal Tan and all the teachers, your teaching methods are excellent."

Hall Master Wan smiled: "The students in the elite classes are all very outstanding, especially the third-year high school students; I see that many have hope of getting into the five famous universities."

"I believe that in a few years, our Guanshan District will emerge with another batch of ranked martial artists." Hall Master Wan praised.

"Hall Master Wan is too kind." Principal Tan smiled: "I just don't know if there are any students that Hall Master Wan has taken a fancy to?"

Several vice-principals and teachers all looked at Hall Master Wan with some anticipation.

Why did the Martial Hall inspect?

In essence, it was to invite the person in charge of the Martial Hall to take a look and see if any students were qualified to sign early.

For the school, it would be best if students could be specially recruited by the Martial Arts Hall, but the number was too small.

If they could sign early with the Martial Hall and receive cultivation from the Martial Hall, the probability of getting into the five famous universities would also greatly increase, which for school leaders, was also a kind of political achievement.

In reality, in the Xia Nation, why were there only the Starry Sky Martial Hall and the Starfire Martial Hall? And why did the two major Martial Halls have such great power?

In a sense, these two major Martial Halls seemed independent, but in reality, they both had some official nature.

"These students are all very outstanding, but some things are not for me alone to decide." Hall Master Wan smiled: "When I go back, I will let the Martial Hall conduct a comprehensive assessment of these students, and I believe there will be good results."

There was some disappointment in the eyes of several school leaders.

Obviously, Hall Master Wan didn't take a fancy to any students, at least not at first glance.

"Hall Master Wan, would you like to take a look at the students in the ordinary classes?" Principal Tan's smile remained on his face: "There are also some outstanding students in the ordinary classes."

Hall Master Wan smiled without saying a word.

"Principal Tan, the Hall Master has limited time today, and it's getting late." A man in black clothes beside him whispered: "What do you think?"

"Oh, good, okay, then let's wait for the next opportunity." Principal Tan nodded repeatedly.

This was the norm; there were too many students in ordinary classes, and the probability of becoming a martial artist was low... whether it was the Starfire Martial Hall or the Starry Sky Martial Hall coming to inspect, they basically wouldn't go to the ordinary classes.

One must know that inspecting school students was only a small part of the Martial Hall's work.

And there were dozens of junior high and high schools in Guanshan District combined, so there wasn't enough time to look at them one by one; most just checked the martial arts grades directly.

"Old Wan."

Xu Bo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I have selected a few good seedlings from the ordinary classes; would you like to stay a little longer?"

Everyone looked at Xu Bo.

"Xu..." Principal Tan was about to speak.

"The ones you took a fancy to, Iron Tower?" Hall Master Wan revealed a touch of curiosity and smiled: "Selected from the ordinary classes? If you, Iron Tower, have taken a fancy to them, they must have some potential. Okay, I'll take another look."

Hall Master Wan was willing, firstly to give Xu Bo face.

Secondly, he had just taken office as Hall Master and indeed wanted to achieve some results, but the students in the three elite classes he saw today indeed didn't satisfy him.

"Good, Teacher Xu, you lead the way." Principal Tan smiled along.

"Hmm, this way." Xu Bo walked at the very front.

……

"Today, Teacher Xu Bo asked me to come here and specifically instructed me not to go anywhere; what for?" Li Yuan thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over the other three students.

Two second-year high school students, one first-year high school student; they were not familiar with each other.

Including Li Yuan, there were only four of them in this martial arts classroom.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan's ears twitched; he heard the noisy sound coming from the end of the corridor.

It was Teacher Xu Bo's voice.

"Hall Master Wan?" Li Yuan heard a title in the voice.

Before he could think.

Soon.

Xu Bo, Hall Master Wan, Principal Tan, and their group walked into the martial arts classroom.

Facing this scene.

The other three students all showed nervousness, only Li Yuan was prepared and the calmest.

"Hall Master Wan, is it the Hall Master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall? Or the Starfire Martial Hall?" Li Yuan's peripheral vision involuntarily fell on the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, and a string of text information appeared in his vision.

【Target person, life layer exceeds sensing limit (current life layer sensing limit is 16.9)】

The other party stood at the head of the team, his clothing was the most special, and his status was clearly the highest.

Moreover, at just one glance, this middle-aged man in the Tang suit gave Li Yuan a feeling of extreme danger, especially those eyes, which looked calm but were actually like blades, making people involuntarily want to look away.

"What a powerful martial artist, he might be even stronger than Teacher Xu." Li Yuan was secretly shocked.

His Spirit Palace panel detection consumed spirit every time it was used, and he would feel tired after using it too many times, as if he had experienced a large number of virtual battles, so Li Yuan rarely used it on weekdays.

"Martial Hall Master? Accompanied by the Principal and Teacher Xu? What are they here for?" Thoughts flew through Li Yuan's mind.

At the same time.

Li Yuan and the other three students had already shouted one after another: "Principal, Teacher Xu."

"Teacher Xu."

Several vice-principals? Li Yuan and the others only recognized their faces and knew they were school leaders, but they didn't know their surnames at all, so naturally, they wouldn't address them.

"Good."

"You guys listen, today is a very important opportunity for you; in a moment, show your physical fitness and martial arts skills." Xu Bo said in a low voice: "Xiong Yifan, you go first, three tests."

The three tests referred to life blood-Qi detection, fist strength test, and explosive speed test.

Immediately.

That first-year high school student walked into the detection range of the life blood-Qi detector...

Hall Master Wan didn't pay much attention to this first-year high school student; he seemed to have noticed something, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Li Yuan, saying softly: "Iron Tower, what is this student's name?"

Xu Bo noticed Hall Master Wan's gaze and said: "His name is Li Yuan, Old Wan, do you think he's good?"

"Li Yuan?" Hall Master Wan's eyes flickered, as if he remembered something, and he smiled: "Let's take a look first, no rush."

"Hmm." Xu Bo nodded.

Soon.

The three students from the first and second years of high school finished their tests; their physical fitness data could be considered upper-middle in the elite classes of the same grade.

It was just that, and nothing more; it wasn't enough to make Hall Master Wan change his mind.

In the end, everyone's gaze fell on Li Yuan.

"He is Li Yuan?"

"I've heard of him."

"His martial arts skills seem to be very good."

"However, he hasn't awakened his martial arts spirituality even after entering the third year of high school; the hope of signing early is not great." Several school leaders exchanged whispers; they didn't know that Li Yuan had entered the Blue Star Youth List, but they had all heard Li Yuan's name.

After defeating Lin Lanyue in a virtual battle, Li Yuan could be considered a small celebrity in the school.

"Li Yuan, go." Xu Bo said in a low voice: "Be serious, show all your strength."

Among the four students selected from the ordinary classes, the one Xu Bo valued most was Li Yuan.

Or rather, in his eyes, Li Yuan was the one with the most hope of signing early with the Martial Hall.

"Yes."

Li Yuan nodded and walked directly into the silver circular ground in the center of the martial arts classroom; this circle range was both the skill test circle and the sensing range of the life blood-Qi detector.

Whoosh!

A red light shot over, covering Li Yuan's whole body.

Three seconds later.

The screen behind the classroom displayed the data—"Li Yuan (student), physical fitness: 6.9 (last test 6.5)."

"Historical data: September 5th: 6.5."

"Historical data: June 25th, 6.0."

……

"6.9? It improved by another 0.4 in just over a month?" Xu Bo's eyes revealed a trace of surprise, and he looked at Li Yuan in shock.

"Interesting." Hall Master Wan revealed a smile.
