Chapter 49: Invitation from Martial Arts University

Last September.

When teacher Xu Bo helped fight for the second-class financial aid, he promised Li Yuan that as long as he rushed into the top ten in the grade, he would be rewarded with a first-class financial aid of 100,000 Blue Star coins.

If he rushed into the top five in the grade, he would be rewarded with special financial aid, 500,000 Blue Star coins.

"Just one place short." Li Yuan sighed.

He didn't feel disappointed in his heart, he had already done his best, so there was no need to dwell on it.

You can't expect others to perform abnormally.

"Enough."

"At least, I can get 100,000 Blue Star coins." Li Yuan pondered: "Besides, I met Hall Master Zuo at the Martial Hall a few days ago, and Hall Master Zuo said that the commendations and rewards from the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Hall are also coming soon, I guess there is quite a bit of money."

Li Yuan's bank account now has quite a few Blue Star coins and Martial Hall points.

But his martial arts cultivation is a money-swallowing cave, and it spends fast.

Naturally, he has to find a way.

"Li Yuan, keep it up." Chen Laoshi looked at Li Yuan and continued: "I hope other classmates will learn more from Li Yuan."

"I will read the martial arts grades of others, listen carefully."

"Li Tianyou, 685 points." Chen Laoshi said.

Li Tianyou followed Li Yuan and ranked second in the class in martial arts grades.

It's just that, although he ranked second, the score gap with Li Yuan was quite astonishing.

"685 points?" Li Tianyou's face eased slightly.

But it didn't look too good either.

685 points, plus his cultural conversion score of 59 points, the total martial arts score is only 744 points. The hope of getting into a martial arts university with this score is still very slim.

"Could it be that I'm not working hard enough?" Li Tianyou clenched his fists secretly, quite unwilling: "If I could have more cultivation resources, and more guidance from teachers, the score would definitely be much higher."

Li Tianyou is not stupid.

He cultivates crazily, even his body can't bear it, and some well-intentioned reminders from other classmates are clear in his heart.

It's just that his family doesn't have that much money, what can he do?

"Gu Yaoyao, 664 points." Chen Laoshi continued to read the scores.

Most students' martial arts grades were very ordinary, without much ups and downs.

Martial arts cultivation requires talent, and it eats resources even more.

If you say that cultural subject exams occasionally have 'flashes of inspiration' and 'extraordinary performance'.

Then, martial arts assessment only has two possibilities: normal performance and abnormal performance. There is no extraordinary performance.

Strong is strong, weak is weak.

……

After reading the scores, it was time to distribute the papers and explain the questions.

Li Yuan listened very seriously.

"I spent very little time on cultural subjects, so I must listen carefully in class." Li Yuan thought very clearly: "If I want to get into the five major famous schools, every point must be fought for with all my might. If I can get a few more points in cultural subjects, the hope will be greater."

One point suppresses thousands of people, it has never been an empty word.

Like Li Yuan this time.

The ten points improved by cultural conversion score contributed significantly to the total martial arts score being able to rush over 900 points.

……

Time passed to ten o'clock, fifteen minutes of break.

Chen Laoshi first posted the three grade sheets on the 'grade column' next to the blackboard, and then turned around and said: "Li Yuan, Li Tianyou, Wang Zihan, the three of you come to my office."

"Others, class dismissed."

Immediately.

Swish swish swish~ The classmates in the class had already surged to the grade column like a tide, starting to look at their rankings.

Just now, Chen Laoshi only reported the scores and did not read out all the rankings.

The posted grade sheets will mark the grade, district, and city rankings.

"Stable! Top 10,000 in the city."

"Damn, one point short, the city ranking is one hundred and something places away? Are there so many animals?"

"Sigh, going home to be scolded by my parents again."

"Didn't perform well this time, the total cultural score only ranked thirteenth in the grade, didn't even get into the top ten in the grade."

Classmates discussed with each other, some happy and some sad, but most of them were dissatisfied, mostly calculating 'if this subject could be five points higher, another subject could be ten points higher, my ranking would definitely...'

Li Yuan and Li Tianyou and the others had already followed Chen Laoshi to her office.

Li Yuan was very calm, Li Tianyou and the others were very uneasy.

"You two wait outside first." Chen Laoshi instructed: "Li Yuan, come in with me."

Entering the office, Chen Laoshi sat down, while organizing the papers, while greeting the surrounding teachers, as if she had forgotten Li Yuan's existence.

This is a means often used by old teachers to educate students.

First leave the student alone for a while, occasionally give a cold look, continue to ignore, making the student's heart more and more panicked.

Finally, even without the teacher opening her mouth, the student admits his mistake himself.

However.

Being called to the office alone after a large-scale exam mostly only has two situations — great progress, great regression.

Li Yuan considered himself the former.

"Cough~ cough~" Li Yuan coughed, while reaching for the water cup: "Teacher, the water is cold, I'll add some hot water."

Without waiting for Chen Laoshi to respond, Li Yuan had already picked up the water cup and walked to the water dispenser.

Li Yuan first poured out the cold water, then added cold and hot water again, estimating the appropriate temperature with his hand.

After filling the water, he tightened the cup lid.

Then he wiped the water stains on the surface of the water cup with a paper towel, placed the water cup gently on Chen Laoshi's left hand side.

People are used to holding the cup with their left hand and tightening the lid with their right hand.

"Teacher, the water temperature is just right." Li Yuan smiled: "Would you like to drink some first?"

"You!" Chen Laoshi watched the whole process, shook her head and smiled, but she could see that she was in a good mood.

Teachers actually like students who are sensible and sweet-mouthed.

"Calling you here is for some things." Chen Laoshi picked up the water cup and said while drinking water: "You did quite well this time, sixth in the grade, especially your martial arts technique score, in previous years, it could have competed for the city's single-subject champion."

Li Yuan listened.

"It's a pity that this year, the Affiliated High School of the Normal University produced a genius student." Chen Laoshi said with some regret: "Martial arts technique got full marks."

"Technique full marks?" Li Yuan felt slightly surprised in his heart.

Physical fitness score 500 points, the requirement for full marks is level 10.0 physical fitness.

Martial arts technique 400 points, Li Yuan doesn't know the requirement yet, but he guessed it should be the requirement for fourth-stage technique.

"What's his name?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Wu Dongdong." Chen Laoshi said: "He is also the first in the city's total martial arts score in this January adjustment exam, the martial arts score is 900 points, the total martial arts score is 1077 points."

"Two items full marks? Really powerful!" Li Yuan sighed sincerely.

This is an incomparably exaggerated score.

Much more exaggerated than Lin Lan Yue's score.

Martial arts score 900 points, representing the other party's physical fitness is at least level 10.0, and cultural grades are also not bad.

The Affiliated High School of the Normal University has always been the most excellent high school in Jiangcheng City, famous throughout the country, and it is normal to emerge such a martial arts genius.

In fact.

For someone being able to far exceed himself, Li Yuan didn't feel any surprise at all.

You know, the Martial Hall signs in advance, the highest is S-grade contract, which means someone must have signed it.

And Li Yuan, even if he awakens martial arts spirituality, is only qualified to sign an A-grade contract.

This world has never lacked geniuses, this is a truth Li Yuan understood since childhood.

"Regardless of others."

"You, actually, are already quite good." Chen Laoshi said: "After the January adjustment exam, in early March, Jiangbei Martial Arts University has a 'visit invitation activity', our school has ten spots, students in the top ten of the January adjustment exam total martial arts score can all go."

"Are you willing to go?" Chen Laoshi looked at Li Yuan.

"Invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, they will invite elite martial arts students from the whole city or even the whole province, estimated to be nearly a thousand people, for five days." Chen Laoshi smiled: "If you are favored by the school's professors and they think you are suitable for cultivation, after the college entrance exam, they will immediately invite you to the martial arts university, and special training will begin in the summer vacation."

"Martial arts cultivation and cultural subjects are ultimately different, the three months of your age are very important, if used properly, it is enough to improve your martial arts strength by a big chunk."

"Hmm." Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, starting from sixteen years old, accompanied by physical development and vigorous blood-qi, martial arts cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

"Teacher, my goal for the college entrance exam is 'Kunlun Martial Arts University'." Li Yuan said.

The five major martial arts famous schools in the Xia Nation are named after Xiajing, Nanhai, Kunlun, Donghai, and Jixing respectively.

Kunlun Martial Arts University has the most enrollment spots in Jiangbei Province every year and is the first choice for martial arts top students in Jiangbei Province.

"I know."

"Kunlun Martial Arts University, if you can get into it, it's definitely the first choice, you have hope of getting into it with your grades, but without awakening martial arts spirituality, do you have 100% certainty?" Chen Laoshi asked Li Yuan back.

Li Yuan couldn't help but be silent.

"Your goal is to sprint for Kunlun Martial Arts University, but Jiangbei Martial Arts University is the bottom line, go visit, feel it, and get to know the university teachers, it won't do you any harm." Chen Laoshi put down the water cup: "Right?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod, Chen Laoshi's words actually made sense.

"That's fine, the application form and specific itinerary arrangements, I will send them to your V-chat, fill them out and sign them electronically before giving them to me." Chen Laoshi said: "By the way, after the whole school mobilization meeting this afternoon, the scholarship for entering the top ten in the grade will be sent to your account, remember to check."

"Hmm okay, thank you teacher." Li Yuan nodded.

Like this kind of large-scale exam, entering the top ten in the total martial arts score will have 5,000 Blue Star coins, plus a few bottles of blood-qi potions as a scholarship reward.

At the same time, you can also get an independent martial arts room, but Li Yuan already has one.

……

Among the three, the last one to enter the office was Li Tianyou, he was much more nervous than Li Yuan.

"Teacher." Li Tianyou came to the desk.

"It's okay, calling you here is not to criticize you, you did quite well in this exam." Chen Laoshi smiled: "Remember what I told you last time, about applying for third-class financial aid?"

Li Tianyou's eyes lit up.

"This exam, combined with your family situation... the application was successful." Chen Laoshi smiled: "I know you are very diligent, but you must also combine work and rest, don't push too hard, 20,000 yuan in financial aid will be in your account today."

"Thank you teacher." Li Tianyou was quite excited, his eyes were slightly red.

"Okay, go, don't talk about this, just know it yourself." Chen Laoshi stood up and patted Li Tianyou on the shoulder, watching the other party leave.

Sitting back in the chair.

Chen Laoshi's smile disappeared, she opened her smart ring, staring at the document above, slightly lost in thought — "Third-class financial aid application review opinion: Not approved."

"Sigh."

Chen Laoshi sighed.

After thinking about it, she forwarded this document to Xu Bo.

This financial aid application was made by her and Xu Bo together for Li Tianyou.

……

After lunch, Li Yuan returned to the 4011 martial arts room and entered the virtual network cabin directly.

Consciousness connected.

"Personal space." Li Yuan stood in the empty personal space, checking the invitation from Jiangbei Martial Arts University:

Dear student Li Yuan...

"All nonsense." Li Yuan frowned, quickly scanning the first few pages.

Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped abruptly, staring at the itinerary arrangement inside.

Fourth day itinerary arrangement: Actual combat assessment: Hunting Star Realm creatures.

……

Pondered for a while.

Li Yuan quickly filled in his information.

Electronic signature.

Click, accept invitation!

"Hope, don't let me down." Li Yuan muttered to himself, his consciousness left the virtual network.
