Chapter 12: I Want to Make Money, Make a Lot of Money

"Chen Jie, you really are at the Training Ground!"

"I just called you, no one answered, and I thought you were off on holiday playing."

"Why have you changed so much lately, kid? Training so desperately every day?"

Li Zhixiong saw Chen Jie and called out a greeting.

"Oh... my phone was on silent, I didn't hear it!"

Chen Jie took out his phone and glanced at it.

Sure enough, there was a missed call on it.

"Come on, let's go eat lunch. Today is Saturday, the Dining Hall is closed." Li Zhixiong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Jie was stunned for a moment.

By then, everyone would very likely go their separate ways.

Indeed,

once they made a name for themselves, even if they left the Si Hai Martial Arts School, their worth would not be small!

There were also those who, after obtaining a Professional Boxer License, chose not to stay at the school and joined other boxing gyms.

So,

as the Big Brother of the Dormitory, Li Zhixiong seemed to particularly cherish the time everyone spent together.

Chen Jie asked in a low voice, surprised.

The two came to the food stalls at the back gate of the Martial Arts School and found the other four people in the dormitory had all arrived.

Of course,

he nodded, said nothing more, and tidied up the area around the Training Ground.

Only then did he remember that the Dining Hall was closed at noon today.

Relatively speaking, joining other boxing gyms was more difficult.

Everyone was drinking tea, waiting for the two of them to arrive.

"Taking advantage of the break, let's have a small gathering in our dormitory. By next year, if we want to get together again, opportunities will be few!"

One must be very strong, otherwise other boxing gyms wouldn't easily accept them.

If they hadn't obtained a Professional Boxer License, after graduating from the Martial Arts School, everyone would take different paths.

After reaching adulthood, they would graduate and leave the Martial Arts School.

"Boss, what day is it today?"

Students with strength, after obtaining a Professional Boxer License, can join the Adult Group of the Martial Arts School to continue training and improve their Combat Power.

This is also why Amumu and Huang Zijian and others continued to stay at the Martial Arts School after graduating.

Everyone was a student of the Youth Group of the Si Hai Martial Arts School.

If they could win a ranking in various Martial Arts Hegemony Tournaments domestically, their development prospects within the Si Hai Martial Arts School would still be quite good.

Li Zhixiong explained with a smile.

Every once in a while, he would organize all the students in the dormitory to gather together.

On the food stall table, eight dishes were served, with generous portions, all lean meat.

Beside it was a large basin of white rice.

That's right,

a basin as big as a washbasin, full to the brim.

Everyone was a Martial Artist, with big appetites, eating a lot.

Fortunately, the white rice at the food stall was charged by the 'basin', otherwise the boss would lose money.

"Chen Jie, what are you up to lately? Busy training on Saturdays, is that necessary?"

"Even eating is this busy, Brother truly admires you!"

Cao Gang of the dormitory greeted Chen Jie, set out a chair, and gestured for him to sit.

Chen Jie chuckled and greeted everyone.

Next,

he sat down and began to eat with his head down.

Since he obtained the Force Generation Inheritance of 'Xingyiquan', after training hard during this period, his appetite grew larger and larger.

It could even be said that his appetite became extremely exaggerated.

Every morning, he had to finish off more than eighty meat buns.

Then at lunch, one person could finish off a large basin of white rice.

The same at night, his appetite was frighteningly large.

The key was,

he ate so much, yet not a bit of fat showed, and he even looked leaner than before.

There was no way,

his body fat rate had dropped quite a bit compared to before, so he naturally looked leaner.

However, his weight had always stayed at 85kg.

Fortunately, the Martial Arts School Dining Hall was a buffet style, otherwise eating would be a big problem.

During this past week, he had become a celebrity in the Martial Arts School Dining Hall.

This made Chen Jie feel embarrassed every time he went to eat.

"Chen Jie, your appetite lately... isn't it too exaggerated?"

A student from the same dormitory beside him saw Chen Jie eating voraciously by himself.

Watching as Chen Jie alone polished off two-thirds of a large basin of rice.

He continued in a low voice:

"Should we go to the hospital for a checkup? I feel... is something wrong with your body?"

Li Zhixiong chuckled, seemingly not bothered by Chen Jie's 'big appetite.'

"Everyone has a surge period in their physical quality, and their appetite increases accordingly!"

"I remember last year, my appetite also suddenly increased."

"But after a period of time, it will gradually return to normal."

Everyone ate and chatted.

Soon,

Li Zhixiong remembered something, seeing Chen Jie still eating with his head down, he asked with a smile:

"Chen Jie, I heard you went for an evaluation yesterday, how was the result, any improvement recently?"

Chen Jie kept his head down, eating while answering:

"Evaluation passed, it's okay, improved a little."

Li Zhixiong nodded, unable to help but ask: "No wonder you've been training so hard this period, how much did your Jiquan increase?"

"Uh... a bit more than before!"

Chen Jie picked up a piece of lean meat with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth to chew, and didn't say more in detail.

His current Jiquan was too exaggerated, he didn't dare tell the truth in front of everyone.

Otherwise he couldn't explain it!

"Great! As long as there's improvement, I hope everyone can pass the Professional Boxer assessment next year."

Li Zhixiong's Jiquan had already reached 3.1 times his body weight.

Under normal circumstances, he could steadily obtain the Professional Boxer License.

"Tuition for the next school year is due in September, the final year. After graduation, I must become the most outstanding Professional Boxer and make a lot of money!"

Li Zhixiong took a deep breath, turned to look at Chen Jie, and asked:

"By the way, Chen Jie, your brother said he was going on a business trip last time, it's been several months, has he contacted you by phone recently?"

"After the Xiangnan Province 'Youth Sanda Championship' ends next month, tuition will be due."

The tuition at Sihai Martial Arts School is sixty-eight thousand yuan a year!

For ordinary families, this definitely counts as a huge sum.

Poor Literature Rich Martial Arts!

Truthfully, if the family conditions are very poor, they simply can't afford martial arts school.

"No! I don't know what's going on? I called him, it's always been powered off, I even suspect he changed his phone number."

Sigh!

Chen Jie finally put down his chopsticks, unable to help but let out a long breath.

His mood suddenly became depressed, and he didn't speak again.

Originally Chen Jie's family background was quite good, but eight years ago a car accident, his parents had an accident, leaving only him and his elder brother Chen Yao.

These past eight years, he has always lived with his elder brother.

The two brothers, depending on each other for survival!

Elder brother Chen Yao is twenty-seven years old this year, exactly ten years older than Chen Jie;

Three months ago, Chen Yao called Chen Jie, saying he was going on a long business trip, not knowing how long.

He gave Chen Jie ten thousand yuan for living expenses.

Then,

This period, Chen Jie called his elder brother, the phone has been powered off.

For some reason,

Chen Jie's heart has always felt a vague unease, but he couldn't say specifically what it was.

"Tuition! I must solve the tuition problem before next month!"

"I've grown up, I can't depend on my elder brother for everything."

"I want to make money! I want to become the top boxer, make a lot of money!"

"By the way, Sihai Martial Arts School has a tuition reduction system, as long as I can win the championship of Xiangnan Province 'Youth Sanda Championship', I can get full tuition waived!"

"When my elder brother returns from his business trip, I must give him a surprise."

Sigh!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, secretly thinking in his heart.
