Chapter 50: Commendation on the podium

Exit the virtual network cabin.

Li Yuan started today's martial arts cultivation, first carrying out the basic cultivation method, then practicing spear technique.

This has become Li Yuan's habit.

Until after three thirty in the afternoon, Li Yuan took a hot bath in the lounge before walking out of the martial arts room.

According to what Teacher Chen said in the morning.

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

Just closed the door of the martial arts room.

"Li Yuan?" A quite happy voice came from not far away: "You're still in the martial arts 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 boy at the end of the corridor instantly.

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

Boys are no exception.

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

The relationship was considered familiar.

After more contact.

Li Yuan had long discovered that Gu Qianghan seemed jumping in temperament, but actually had no bad intentions, everything was written on his face, and 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 smiled and walked closer: "Let's go, go downstairs."

"My sister can naturally call me that." Gu Qianghan walked in front of the stairs, turning half his head to glance at Li Yuan: "You are not my brother-in-law, why call me Xiao Qiang?"

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

"This exam, martial arts bare score, you seem to be even higher than me."

Gu Qianghan choked.

Indeed!

He had seen the grade sheet and already knew Li Yuan's terrifying score in the January adjustment exam, bare score second in the grade... and it was the kind that far exceeded the third.

From the perspective of actual combat, whoever has a higher martial arts bare score often has greater actual combat advantages and a higher winning rate.

"Cut!"

Gu Qianghan suddenly gave the middle finger: "So what if the bare score is higher than mine, I have spiritual extra points, total score second in the grade, you are only..."

Seeing Li Yuan didn't respond.

"Forget it." Gu Qianghan suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say so, and waved his hand to pretend to be generous: "I forgive you for lying to 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 walked into the playground together while conducting 'friendly greetings'.

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

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

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

"Lan Yue." The plump girl Peng Qiqi bumped Lin Lan Yue's hand next to her: "Look, why is your brother having such a good relationship with Li Yuan? Coming over so late together."

"Is it that Li Yuan wants to take a secret path?" Peng Qiqi winked: "First get a good relationship with your brother, then chase you."

"Qiqi, you read too many romance novels." Lin Lan Yue stretched out her hand and pinched her best friend's neck, making Peng Qiqi giggle.

Many boys around couldn't help but look over.

In the martial arts class, there are quite a few who like Lin Lan Yue.

However, no one dared to confess.

"Hehe." Peng Qiqi giggled, and suddenly whispered: "Then you say, why is he having such a good relationship with Gu Qiang?"

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

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

"Hmm, the independent martial arts rooms of the two are next to each other." Lin Lan Yue nodded: "Fought several times in virtual combat, Gu Qiang lost every time."

Peng Qiqi was thoughtful: "Also right, Li Yuan's martial arts bare score was second this time, already exceeding 900 points, not much lower than you."

"Lower by 28 points." Lin Lan Yue emphasized.

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

In the morning, the cultural class teacher told her the score and ranking for the first time, and also told her about Li Yuan's 'technique score single item first in the district, second in the city'.

At that time, Lin Lan Yue was shocked by Li Yuan's terrifying progress speed.

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

"His score, you remember it 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 see, next time Li Yuan might be able to exceed you in bare score."

Lin Lan Yue blinked, her long eyelashes flickering: "Wait until he exceeds me."

"Even if the bare score exceeds, the total score is still lower than mine, the one who gets on the podium is the total score number one, not the bare score number one." Lin Lan Yue said lightly.

Subconsciously, she felt that Li Yuan already had hope of exceeding her in bare score.

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

Teacher Xia is the cultural class teacher of the third-year Class 1.

……

"Today, the following leaders are visiting our school, they are 'Director Zhang' of the Guanshan District Martial Arts Bureau, Guanshan 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 brown curly-haired woman with a heroic face on the podium, 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, didn't you notice? It seems like quite a few reporters came today." Yan Zhou whispered, pointing to the long guns and short cannons on both sides of the podium.

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

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

Principal Tan read the manuscript while looking at the thousands of students under the stage, 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 under the stage 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 third year fought bravely and created new achievements... Wan Qingling... and other ten students ranked in the top ten of the total cultural score."

"Lin Lan Yue, Gu Qianghan... Li Yuan... and other ten students ranked in the top ten of the total martial arts score, please all teachers and students express congratulations to the above students, hoping that everyone can learn from them." The host teacher was generous and excited.

Under the stage, 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 that they were here to act as cheap 'NPC audiences', constantly conducting friendly greetings to the leaders in private.

Under the stage.

"Lan Yue, it's about to be your turn to go on stage." Peng Qiqi whispered: "Come on."

Number one in total cultural score, number one in total martial arts score, according to convention, both have to go on stage to receive special commendation and take photos from school leaders.

Lin Lan Yue was quite indifferent.

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

However.

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

"Today's meeting."

Principal Tan Zhenlong said solemnly: "In addition to summarizing the third-year January adjustment exam and commending excellent classmates, 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 Guanshan District just suffered a serious Star Realm creature attack..." Principal Tan's voice was low and oppressive.

At this moment, the originally somewhat dull atmosphere was moved quite a bit, many students couldn't help but look up at Principal Tan, all a bit curious.

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

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

"……However, when the ranked Star Realm creature rushed toward the crowd."

"At such a critical juncture, at such a key moment, a seventeen-year-old high school student who happened to pass by, regardless of his own safety, picked up a simple weapon nearby and actively blocked between the Star Realm creature and the innocent masses..." Principal Tan was vivid and emotional, 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 with a ranked Star Realm creature? Who is it?" Peng Qiqi in the team was a bit surprised and asked in a low voice: "Lan Yue, is it you?"

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

All students realized.

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

In the cognition of these students, I am afraid that only Lin Lan Yue can barely fight with a ranked Star Realm creature.

Besides Lin Lan Yue, who else could it be.

"Not me."

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

In fact, she had indeed fought with Star Realm creatures, but they were all in controllable venues, and the Star Realm creatures she dealt with were not ranked.

Actively fighting with a ranked Star Realm creature?

Lin Lan Yue 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 Star Realm creature and also saved the lives of many innocent masses."

"To commend this classmate for his bravery and outstanding contribution in the Star Realm creature attack."

"Jiangcheng Martial Arts 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 Li Yuan from the third-year Class 2 to the stage."

"Accept the commendation of the model title!"

"Wow!"

"Clap clap clap~" Instantly, the entire playground sounded with tidal applause.

The first and second-year students all stretched their necks, looking forward to the podium with expectation.

Wanting to see which senior is so awesome.

Several classes near the third-year Class 2 team had already widened their eyes, looking at the figure of the teenager slowly walking out of the class team.

Wearing a white martial arts suit, well-proportioned, with handsome eyebrows.

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

……"Lan Yue."

"Li... Li Yuan, he really got on the podium." Peng Qiqi stared at the white figure, a bit infatuated, and suddenly whispered: "You really think Li Yuan is not good? If you don't want him, don't grab him from me."

"Wait a minute." Lin Lan Yue's gaze fell on the podium, her eyes motionless.
