At this moment, it was already packed to the rafters and buzzing with conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless teachers and school administrators were craning their necks in anticipation, waiting for the students from their own schools to achieve good results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall hung a gigantic electronic screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was surrounded by hundreds of smaller secondary screens, ensuring that spectators in every corner had a clear view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Meng sat in the back row of the teachers’ section, a nervous expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Wang Zhengguo was seated in the back row of the school administration section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Wang Zhengguo’s right, the principals and leaders of several other Municipal Martial Arts High Schools, including Dongjiang Second Middle School and Third Middle School, also sat upright and solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his left sat an elderly man with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a stern, cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuo Zhenhai, the principal of Dongjiang Experimental Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms were crossed over his chest, and his eyes were closed in rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned a deaf ear to the enthusiastic greetings being exchanged among the other principals, as if he were in a world of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhengguo glanced at him but didn’t bother trying to start a conversation, knowing he’d just be asking for a snub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Wuo Zhenhai had known each other for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were natives of Dongjiang, and both had worked their way up from being ordinary Martial Artists to their current positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their educational philosophies were poles apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhengguo championed the idea of education for all. He believed that as long as a student had some aptitude and wanted to pursue martial arts, they should be given a chance and nurtured with every available resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuo Zhenhai, on the other hand, was a firm believer in elitism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that whether in academics or martial arts, talent determined one’s upper limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting resources on untalented mediocrities was foolish and inefficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the entrance examinations for Dongjiang Experimental Middle School were so stringent they bordered on insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongjiang First Middle School had over 1,300 students in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dongjiang Experimental Middle School, across all three grades, had fewer than 300.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fundamental reason why Dongjiang Experimental Middle School, despite being a Municipal Martial Arts High School, consistently maintained terrifyingly high advancement and martial arts pass rates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the massive screen in the center of the hall suddenly lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of data began to flow across the screen, coalescing into a leaderboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire observation hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone’s Spirit sharpened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial arts foundation test data for the first batch of examinees was out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial arts foundation test was divided into two main categories: \"Foundation\" and \"Physical Fitness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former consisted of the Qi and Blood Index and the Life Index.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter included peak punch force, explosive speed over 100 meters, and endurance in a 10-kilometer run under standard gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the data being announced first on the main screen was the most crucial of all: the foundation data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaderboard only displayed the top fifty examinees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the data was being uploaded in real-time, the names and rankings on the board were changing in the blink of an eye.

Can they really produce a genius like this without the backing of a prominent family or the Martial Hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you know? That school is an anomaly among public schools. It follows a pure-elitist path. If your family has no legacy and you have no talent, they won’t even look at you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the discussions, Wuo Zhenhai slowly opened his eyes.
