Back home, breakfast was already prepared. {What You still don't know | Read, error-free chapter reading | Hurry up and google it}
Xu Jun ate breakfast and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to be in high school next year. I want to rent a training room at a martial arts hall nearby to practice martial arts."
Xu Ping'an and Shi Hui looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.
Although his son trained diligently in martial arts, he achieved only average results due to limitations in natural talent.
Over the years, Xu Jun had long accepted that he wasn't someone with extraordinary innate talent. Therefore, when it came to cultivation, he had a rather Buddhist attitude.
Keep striving with all your might, but never recklessly abandon yourself. Don't fight a desperate battle against the wall.
He even devoted more than half of his energy to the humanities.
Otherwise, Xu Jun's liberal arts grades would not have been top of the class.
When Xu Ping'an first entered high school, his parents still wanted to enroll him in a martial arts class to improve him, but he calmly refused.
But unexpectedly, now that only a year remained until the college entrance examination, his son suddenly told him that he wanted to pursue martial arts.
However, this is good news after all.
It is rare to find parents who do not hope their children will succeed.
"Well done, Xiaojun. After you finish your final exams in two days, I'll take you to the martial arts hall," Xu Pingan said with a smile. "We'll find a good instructor for you so that you can improve a lot over the next year."
Xu Jun twitched his lips slightly, he really wanted to tell his father.
All I want is to find a suitable place to cultivate.
As for seeking guidance from others...
Xu Jun has enough self-awareness, he shouldn't waste this money.
Instead of looking for people, it's more cost-effective to visit the projection world once a month.
…………
…………
Monday came quickly, Xu Jun woke up early and arrived at school.
Although the high school second-term final exams are important, compared to the college entrance examination, they amount to nothing.
Xu Ping'an and his wife just reminded him a few words, then like usual, let their son go to school by himself.
Xu Jun entered the classroom as usual and quietly returned to his seat.
He was not a prominent figure at school. In class, he gave the impression of being a quiet and studious student who excelled in the humanities.
As for his martial arts scores, which were average at best, not many people paid attention to him.
However, after three years in school, even if it wasn't because of social anxiety, there would be at least a few good friends.
My classmate Fang Jian came over and whispered, "Old Xu, the teacher just announced that this semester's martial arts final exam is a solo run through Tong Ren Xiang.
Another friend sitting in front, Yu Hui, stretched and said, "Lao Xu, this time let's be each other's company."
Fang Jian's martial arts achievements were in the top ten of his class, while Yu Hui and Xu Jun, like each other, were students whose humanities scores far outperformed their martial arts scores.
Fang Jian and Xu Jun became good friends after they entered high school because they clicked.
The relationship between Yu Hui and Xu Jun is much more complex.
When they first met in their freshman year of high school, they both felt that the other was very familiar and kind.
We chatted for a bit, and I immediately remembered something.
They were actually neighbors as kids, growing up in the same neighborhood. Childhood best friends *2.
Not only that, but they were also classmates from kindergarten and before third grade.
However, when Yu Hui's family moved out of the neighborhood in third grade, they never saw each other again.
However, unexpectedly, they ran into each other in the same class when they reached high school.
This can only be said to be a reunion guided by fate.
Luckily, they are both male and straight, so nothing beyond friendship has ever happened.
He, along with Fang Jian, became the best friends of the trio.
Especially during exams, the three of them would act stealthily and secretly, even trying to pull off elaborate deceptions.
Over the past two years, these three men, who have gone through gunfire together, endured beatings, and even committed wrongdoings, have forged a genuine brotherhood based on their pure hearts. They truly deserve to be called iron brothers.
Xu Jun nodded slightly and said, "Lao Yu, I should be able to do well on this exam this time."
Yu Hui was surprised and turned to glance at his friend.
In the past, this kind of martial arts examination allowed students to compete against each other on stage more often.
At this point, with three people working together, there's a bit more room to maneuver.
But even if they tried to cheat while walking through Tongren Lane alone, it wouldn't be possible.
Yu Hui originally thought that Xu Jun would be dejected and become a pair of unfortunate brothers with her.
But looking back at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
This old buddy seems a little different than before.
But when asked where exactly the difference lay, he couldn't offer a clear explanation.
Moments later, Head Teacher Liu Yang strode into the classroom.
As soon as he walked in, all the whispers in the classroom vanished.
Liu Yang's face was grim as he said, "Classmates, follow me. We are from Class Three. After Class One and Two pass through Tongren Alley, it will be our turn."
The homeroom teacher was at the peak of martial arts cultivation, able to suppress all the rowdy students in the class with a single hand.
The extraordinary world doesn't condone parental interference. If a student performs poorly in school, there are natural disciplinary measures.
Therefore, under the circumstance of inferior combat power, no one dares to act recklessly.
Following Liu Yang, we arrived at a plaza at the back of the school.
There's a cave here, pitch black and you can't see the bottom. Above the cave, there's a large screen.
Xu Jun stared intently. The screen displayed, unexpectedly, the scores of the group of challengers ahead.
Among them, two names stood out, particularly prominent.
He ZhiChao (Class 1): Fifth Stage
Liu Xuan Yue (Class One): Fifth Stage.
Apart from them, there were five people in the fourth stage as well. The rest were stuck at the third stage.
Yu Hui gasped, "Damn it, as expected of a group of veterans, they've all been replaced."
Fang Jian clenched his fists and whispered, "What's so amazing about a blood transfusion After the summer vacation, I'm sure I can achieve it."
"Hmph, you mean it hasn't reached its peak yet"
Fang Jian was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, wishing he could give the other person a good beating.
Tongren Lane, a martial arts exam point specially customized for the Third Middle School.
The copper figures inside are said to be puppets crafted by cultivators. The deeper you go, the more powerful the puppets become.
Once a warrior cultivates their qi and blood, the moment it is born, they become a martial artist of the later heavens.
Tempering the skin and bones, then replacing blood, is the foundation of a martial artist's three realms after birth. The first three barriers in Copper Man Alley correspond to skin, bone, and blood.
After the bone marrow and blood, there is the cultivation of the viscera at the peak of acquired nature, which is also the fourth level in Copper Man Lane.
As for He Zhi Chao and Liu Xuan Yue's fifth level, it is the Innate Level.
Class 3A of the Third Middle School gathered the strongest martial arts prodigies of this grade. By the end of their second year, even the weakest had reached the third level of Blood Exchange.
However, it's easy to acquire martial arts skills after one is born, but difficult to find someone with natural talent.
Every young, naturally gifted martial artist is a seed of the Immortal Dao. For a school with a student body as small as ours, to have two Innate cultivators coming from our high school ranks is already a blessing from the Bodhisattva.
This year's college entrance exam has already ended, and the seniors from last year didn't even have a single offer.
And this year's sophomore class, there were actually two prodigies born, each one a darling in the eyes of the teachers and a martial arts expert that all the other students looked up to.
Suddenly, the screen scrolled again.
The assessment for Class Two has ended, and the results are out.
However, compared to the elite Class One, the performance of ordinary Class Two was mediocre.
So, one person managed to barely scrape through the third level of blood exchange, but everyone else was stuck at the second level bone tempering. Some even failed to get past the first level skin hardening stage, which is rather amusingly pathetic.
Liu Yang looked at the situation and said loudly, "Alright, now it's our turn. Listen to me as I call your names, one by one."
"Yes."
「…………」
Liu Yang held the attendance list and one by one, sent the students into the cave.
Afterglow.
"That's it."
"Xu Jun."
"That's it."
Xu Jun loudly responded, picked up the three-foot long blue sword allocated by the school, and strode into the cave with his head held high.
Liu Yang, who was being called, looked up. He glanced at Xu Jun and suddenly felt a little puzzled.
This kid is kind of strange!
New book, looking for recommendations.
