Chapter 22: He Is Only Worth Third-Class (Please follow)

Mom Fang Huiyi sat on the sofa, enjoying the cool wind, the wind blowing her hair gently.

Dad Lin Zhen was not like usual, sweating profusely and sticking to the electric fan.

The air was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Lin Qi looked at this scene and was also happy in his heart.

During his lunch break, he bought two air conditioners online, costing 3,800 yuan.

Only 1,000 was left for food, but he didn't regret it.

"Xiao Qi, when your scholarship arrives, you can't use it all to buy air conditioners. You still need money to buy resources!"

Mom Fang Huiyi shook her head, blaming Lin Qi for spending money recklessly.

Lin Qi sat down and explained:

"Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry about this."

"I have already bought many resources, and I have already applied for a third-class Genius Loan."

"In a few days, the money will arrive."

"As for the air conditioner, buy it a day early, and you can enjoy it."

"Don't have any burden. This is just a beginning; our family's life will get better and better."

"……"

……

A few minutes later

Lin Qi, who had persuaded his parents, returned to his bedroom. Because the cold wind from the living room air conditioner blew over, the room was also filled with cool air.

"Having an air conditioner is truly comfortable!"

After sighing, Lin Qi put down his backpack, took Qi-Blood Capsules, and continued to stand in the stance.

He came back an hour early today, so he still had to practice more.

"Finally did something for the family."

Solving a difficulty for the family, Lin Qi felt full of motivation.

"Since I was young, in this family, it has always been Mom and Dad who have been paying, and I have never done anything for this family."

"They are too hard-working and have paid too much for me."

"Now I can finally help."

As a transmigrator, although his parents didn't tell him the family situation, fearing it would affect his studies.

But he had already guessed it from various information.

The family not only owed Uncle a large sum of money but also took out a large loan. Dad didn't tell him, but it was definitely not a small amount.

And Mom Fang Huiyi's illness was getting more and more serious, needing more money.

The family was already living beyond its means.

Fortunately, his Genius Loan application was also about to arrive.

This was just the beginning; in the future, he would earn more money.

After working hard for so many years, it was time for him to shoulder this family.

Although there was huge external pressure, Lin Qi had strong motivation.

"Next, my short-term goals are also very clear. Once the Genius Loan arrives, I will fully improve my Qi-Blood value and spear technique."

"In the Tianhai City Joint Monthly Exam, enter the top 30 of Second Middle School and get an independent martial path room."

"The long-term goal is to work hard to improve my ranking, show my talent, apply for more Genius Loans, pay off the family's loans, and cure Mom Fang Huiyi."

After clarifying his goals, Lin Qi also devoted himself to standing in the stance.

……

Martial Path Education Bureau

This was a huge square building that was blue and white, with a multi-story structure. Each floor had streamlined curves connecting them, forming a dynamic beauty.

In a modern office in the building, the walls were covered with martial path images such as blades, swords, and spears, and holographic projections appeared in the air.

Among them, two figures, separated in different areas, slid their fingers, and the projection tables in the air constantly switched.

"It's another third year of high school. We have a lot to do. Sure enough, we have to work overtime as expected."

"The number of Genius Loan applications is not small. This relates to the future of major martial path students, so we have to work overtime to review them."

"Tianhai Second Middle School, Chen Zichuan, Lin Qi applying for a second-class Genius Loan, simply daydreaming."

A woman in her twenties, wearing exquisite makeup, kept complaining while working.

Suddenly seeing two application forms, she couldn't help but speak.

"Tianhai Second Middle School, ranked 40th in the grade, yet wants to get second-class. Thinking too much. Jiang Zhiguang is really something, reporting more every time. This is at most third-class." The woman sneered.

Not far away, another male colleague called up the document to check.

According to the regulations of the Martial Path Education Bureau, applying for a Genius Loan, from third-class to second-class is decided by ordinary employees like them, two people in a group, supervising each other.

The final result is then reviewed by the leader, generally going through the motions.

And first-class and special-class need to be reviewed by the leader personally.

The man also saw the two application forms at this time and read the information seriously.

"Chen Zichuan third-class is no problem, but this student Lin Qi, he has good potential."

"Improving from the grade ranking to the top 50 is very rare."

The female colleague shook her head, firm in her decision:

"I don't think so. Improving so fast, it's still just the top fifty in the grade."

"And it didn't improve early or late, but improved when applying. I guess he was hiding his strength." "According to the regulations, I won't pass it for him. Just third-class."

Although the female colleague made some sense, the male colleague subconsciously felt that this Lin Qi really had talent.

But according to the regulations, passing third-class normally was also no problem. Doing more leads to more mistakes; not doing anything leads to no mistakes.

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more and marked the result on the application.

A moment later, in another independent office, the leader was a burly, slightly fat middle-aged man.

At this time, he was busy, took a simple look at the application result, and stamped it with the approval seal.

……

The third year of high school passed very quickly, and a week passed in a flash.

Entering the Elite Class, many people felt intense pressure.

Especially on the martial path, everyone was the best in the class, and the intense atmosphere of competition made many people become more diligent.

This noon, after the meal

!

Lin Qi was in Jiang Tao's martial path room, a spacious space of two hundred square meters.

The floor was covered with soft mats, the walls were installed with wardrobes, weapon boxes, folding beds, water dispensers……

At the same time, there were independent bathrooms and washing machines, so living in it was completely no problem.

After lunch, it should have been time for a nap.

But now there were some people who even used their nap time to practice martial arts.

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao originally thought so too, until they saw Chen Zichuan still training in the martial path classroom at noon, so they also became one of them.

From three practices a day to four practices.

"Hoo~"

After standing in the stance for ten minutes, Lin Qi stood up, took Qi-Blood Capsules, and then danced the long spear.

"Mantra: Mountain-Collapsing has a method, spear momentum like thunder, power breaking a thousand catties, rigid and fearless."

"The 'Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique' has a momentum like thunder, possesses powerful strength, and when executed, must have a rigid and fearless momentum."

Lin Qi stood firmly in a horse stance, his eyes focused and firm, the long spear waving, bringing up whistling wind, the spear tip flashing with cold light.

Shaking the long spear with force, the spear body thrust out like lightning.

Lin Qi continuously repeated the moves of the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique", the main points about the spear technique emerging in his mind.

"Rotating Break, Leaping Sky, Horizontal Block, Swift Advance……"

Don't know how many times he practiced, his arms began to ache and tremble, but the spear technique became more proficient.

At the same time, his whole body was hot, Qi-Blood surging, opening up the joints of the body.

【Through arduous training, your Qi-Blood value has improved, Qi-Blood value +0.1】

【Through continuous training, your proficiency in the "Mountain-Collapsing Spear Technique" has improved, Spear Technique +2%】

【Through continuous training, your movement technique has improved, Movement Technique +2%】

【Qi-Blood value: 6.4→6.5】

【Spear Technique: Stage One 71%→77%】

【Movement Technique: Stage One 60%→68%】

……

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi closed his stance, looking at the data on the panel with many sighs.

In one week, he progressed rapidly.

The Qi-Blood value increased by a full 0.3.

Spear technique improved from 60% to the current 77% in one breath.

Movement technique also improved by about 10%.

The progress speed was terrifyingly fast.

"Teacher Zhang Cheng said that for a period of time after just learning Black Iron-level manuals, the realm improvement is the fastest. The better the foundation, the faster the improvement."

"After passing this period, the speed will slow down. Now I have already experienced the feeling of rapid improvement."

Lin Qi put down the long spear, and a burst of pain came from his hand. He saw that his calloused palms were now covered with bloodstains.

The improvement of spear technique was not without a price. Long-term training caused the skin of his palms to be worn away again.

Lin Qi washed his hands familiarly, then took out ointment and applied it to his palms.

"Hiss~"

The burning pain made his face twitch slightly, and finally, he wrapped it with bandages, waiting for it to heal automatically.

"Brother Qi, this week was truly tiring, but the feeling of improvement is also huge."

Jiang Tao also finished training, sitting beside him, wiping sweat and drinking functional beverages. The strong smell of sweat evaporated in the space.

"Teacher Zhang Cheng is indeed stronger than 'Wu De'. Not only is his teaching strength strong, but he is also willing to give us pointers."

Lin Qi nodded. In one week, they had some understanding of Zhang Cheng.

As expected of a martial path teacher who could serve in the Elite Class, his teaching ability was indeed very strong.

"Okay, it's time for class. Remember to drink some coffee, otherwise, it's easy to get sleepy."

Lin Qi exhorted, while dragging his tired body to wash up and then go to class.
