Chapter 30: B-grade contract

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

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

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

It was 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 just over a month, improved by another 0.4?" Several vice-principals and Martial Hall martial artists were all very shocked.

A physical fitness of 6.9 alone? It wasn't enough to make people shocked.

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 worst physical fitness was 9.8.

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

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

Lin Lanyue, who had the strongest physical fitness, 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 hadn't awakened his martial arts spirituality.

Cultivating basic cultivation methods, can physical fitness also improve so fast?

"Good." Xu Bo's eyes brightened slightly.

He often observed Li Yuan through surveillance and knew that Li Yuan's physical fitness had improved 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 wasn't stupid; he could see from everyone's reaction that he was performing very well.

And Li Yuan also realized.

Regardless of 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."

Without thinking too much.

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

"Boom~" Accompanied by a dull explosion, his fist slammed heavily 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 let himself stop; after adjusting slightly, he came to the entrance of the track.

A forty-meter-long test track!

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

"Whoosh!"

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

Swish!

Like an afterimage, Li Yuan had already rushed across the track and hit the buffer wall at the end of the track.

Tick!

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

"Such fast speed."

"Did the life blood-Qi detector make a mistake?"

"How could Li Yuan's actual test data be so high?" Bursts of low-voiced exchanges; 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 both 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 was normal for any item's 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 both of them revealed smiles on their faces.

"Teacher Xu, I'm done testing." 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 few 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... it probably won't be difficult to become a martial artist, but he hasn't awakened his martial arts spirituality; wanting to sign early... I'm afraid we still have to deliberate."

Instructor Xing saw that the Hall Master and Xu Bo had a close relationship, so he didn't say it too definitively.

It was just that, who among those present wasn't a clever person? Naturally, they could hear Instructor Xing's true meaning—he wasn't 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... test it and let's see."

"You saw it?" Xu Bo smiled.

"The life blood-Qi detector generally won't make a mistake." Hall Master Wan smiled: "But he was able to exert power and explosive speed beyond the norm... which shows that his control over 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, it's highly likely that it's a cliff-like lead."

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

"As expected of Old Wan, your eye 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 didn't know about Li Yuan being selected for the Blue Star Youth List.

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

"Yes."

Li Yuan walked toward the weapon cabinet not far away; he had been instructed by Xu Bo at noon to have his weapons prepared 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 a sharp eye."

Li Yuan also heard Hall Master Wan's speculation.

……

After getting the long spear, the martial arts skill test had started, and many instruments above the classroom were activated.

Li Yuan held the long 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 the teacher intended to let him show his strength.

Without hesitation.

"Boom!" Li Yuan's body was like lightning; he had already stepped forward and thrust the spear fiercely.

"Clang!"

The long stick met the attack, slamming into the spearhead.

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

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

"Whoosh~" The spear shaft went down with 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 as if dozens of spear shadows had appeared.

"The teacher's physical fitness is revealed to be about 7, attack." Li Yuan attacked fiercely.

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

This refers to the unpredictable changes of the spearhead 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, thrusting toward Xu Bo like lightning; every spear's power was extremely strong, fast, and accurate.

This was exactly another killing move Li Yuan had just created not long ago—Mountains and Myriad Images.

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

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

This made it impossible for Li Yuan's power 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, and then his footsteps changed, and the long stick thrust out like a spear like lightning.

The timing was grasped too well.

This stick thrust was exactly when Li Yuan had thrust a spear without success and was retracting his force.

"Not good." Li Yuan's spear technique changed immediately, turning from attack to defense; the proficiency of the move changes made the martial artists outside the field look surprised.

Without hesitation.

Li Yuan directly performed 'Rock Foundation Pillar', his whole body like a huge rock, frantically blocking Xu Bo's attacks.

Another dozens of moves of attack and defense.

Whoosh!

Xu Bo suddenly retreated fiercely, pulling away the distance from Li Yuan, and smiled: "Good, stop."

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

Too fierce.

Teacher Xu's attacks didn't look fast, but they were actually steady, accurate, and ruthless, beating him until he had no power to parry.

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

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

Tick—

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

"374 points?"

"So high!"

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

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

"Last year, the top scorer in the martial arts skill subject in Jiang City only scored a little over 380 points." Several vice-principals were completely shocked.

Lin Lanyue 361 points.

Li Yuan 374 points.

The gap seemed to be more than ten points, but martial arts grades were different from cultural course scores; strong is strong, weak is weak, and there were rarely any abnormal performances.

After exceeding 360 points.

Never mind 10 points, even a 5-point gap represented a clear gap in martial arts skills.

10 points meant that if both sides were to have a virtual battle, the result of the battle would be almost without suspense.

"Could our school produce a city-level top scorer? There is still so long until the college entrance examination."

"The educational quality of 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.

"Okay, Li Yuan, put the weapons back first." Xu Bo said.

Li Yuan obediently put the long spear away.

"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 is qualified for a C-grade contract; but without awakening martial arts spirituality, he is far behind, but enough for a D-grade contract." Instructor Xing hesitated and said.

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

Martial arts skills are high?

Not awakening martial arts spirituality 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 didn't refuse, with a smile on his face: "It's 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 reminder.

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 early." 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?"
