We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 20 The operation was successful

Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian turned around and looked at Li Tianxing, who was rushing towards him. He suddenly slapped Li Tianxing's arm away, and with his right leg as swift as a dragon, he leaped into the air and kicked Li Tianxing in the chest.

With a few sharp cracking sounds, Li Tianxing's chest instantly caved in, he coughed up blood, and was kicked more than ten meters away, crashing heavily into the ring pillar.

"Are you okay?"

Zhang Xianlong leaped directly in front of Shen Bailian and asked.

"fine."

Shen Bailian shook his head, and after confirming that the visitor was Zhang Xianlong, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was temporarily relieved.

Because Zhang Xianlong, the director of the sports department, has a characteristic of protecting his own.

Li Tianxing just committed a major taboo. In general school martial arts competitions, there is an unwritten rule that the loser cannot attack again, and the loser cannot launch a sneak attack from behind.

Whoever makes the mistake must bear full responsibility.

"Take those two brats to the infirmary first, then contact their parents."

Zhang Xianlong briefly checked the boy's pulse, and after confirming that he was alright, he looked in Li Tianxing's direction, his mood becoming increasingly worse.

Post-match ambushes are a major taboo, yet even with the initiative in an attack, they still managed to be beaten like this.

Being brainless is the most terrifying thing.

"Yes."

The security guards looked at each other for a moment, then all went out and carried the three of them, who had collapsed on the ground, to the infirmary.

"You still have the strength, right?"

"Have."

Shen Bailian assessed his condition. Since he had primarily focused on passive defense in the early stages, coupled with the recovery effect brought by the Iron Body skill, he hadn't consumed that much stamina.

"Alright, then come with me to the infirmary, and we can talk about what happened."

Zhang Xianlong noticed that of the people involved, only Shen Bailian was still awake, so he had no choice but to pull him aside to find out what had happened.

"Okay, teacher, please wait a moment while I get something."

After Shen Bailian finished speaking, he ran to the mahogany pillar on the side and pulled out the green feather that was still shimmering with a bluish light.

"Are these the feathers of the Azure-Scaled Snow-Treading Beast from last Friday?"

"Yes, teacher, how did you guess?"

Shen Bailian handed it over. He had already tested the feather; apart from being somewhat stiff, it was otherwise fine.

"A typical mature Azure Scale Snowflake has feathers that are about 25 to 35 centimeters long, but this one is a full 43 centimeters long, and judging from its appearance..."

The two strolled toward the school hospital, discussing the cause of the martial arts competition. However, most of the time, Zhang Xianlong did the talking, while Shen Bailian listened.

A dozen minutes later, the two slowly walked to the entrance of the school hospital building.

"I was thinking of having you give up participating in the joint martial arts competition, but now it seems I was overthinking it."

Zhang Xianlong patted the boy on the shoulder with a kind smile and said, "But don't hide your strength too much in the future, otherwise you won't be able to get many subsidies from various countries."

"Subsidies?" Shen Bailian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, in the Great Xia Dynasty, enrolled high school students under the age of eighteen can apply for a martial arts subsidy of two thousand yuan per month once they reach the minimum threshold for cultivating the Dragon Gate Seed."

"!!!"

Shen Bailian was shocked; he had never expected this to happen.

"Teacher, why didn't you say that?"

"What are you talking about? Don't you know what's going on in your class?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianlong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian didn't argue. He awkwardly scratched his head. Everyone in his class knew their own class situation. Their class only had a relatively good average academic performance, but their martial arts skills were really not good, and they didn't have any pillars of support.

Otherwise, the eight-school martial arts alliance, which gathered so many geniuses, wouldn't have recruited someone like him whose punching power was only 489kg. "Teacher, how do I apply?"

Shen Bailian rubbed his hands together and looked at Teacher Zhang with anticipation, after all, 2000 yuan was no small sum for him.

"Go to the municipal service hall, test your punching strength, and have it recorded in your file."

Zhang Xianlong looked at the boy's expression, smiled slightly, and spoke without any other expression, because he had a general understanding of the student's family situation.

Oh, and one more thing.

hum! ! !
Before he could finish speaking, the smart bracelet started vibrating wildly. After glancing at it, his kind smile immediately turned serious.

"Teacher, if you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it."

Seeing his expression, Shen Bailian quickly spoke up.

"It's alright, let me finish speaking."

Zhang Xianlong tapped the smart bracelet twice to calm it down. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "First, you and Wei Peng should try to keep a low profile these next few days and avoid provoking Li Tianxing. I believe you know something about his family's situation."

"If he acts impulsively and does something reckless, he'll waste money, and you'll waste your future. It's not worth it, understand?"

"I know."

Shen Bailian smiled and nodded, knowing that Zhang Xianlong was saying all this for his own good.

"Secondly, when you go to the city hall, take the opportunity to test your physical fitness level; you might be surprised by the results."

"By the way, you must discuss the trip to Sanqing Mountain with your parents."

"Thank you, teacher."

Shen Bailian bowed respectfully.

"Good boy."

Zhang Xianlong patted Shen Bailian on the shoulder with satisfaction. In the young man, he saw his former self, only that he was more talented and could go further.

"I hope that decades from now, I can see your statue there."

As he spoke, Zhang Xianlong pointed to the row of huge sculptures behind him, including solemn warriors wielding giant halberds, city guard martyrs in uniform, and enlightened beings holding books of scholars...

Each of them is either a gifted individual in the century-long history of Bortala No. 3 Middle School or a hero who has made outstanding contributions to the country.

"I seem to have gone off on a tangent. I'll get back to work now. You should go to the school clinic yourself."

After Zhang Xianlong finished speaking, he chuckled and realized that he might have overthought things. Then he quickly walked away to attend to his own business.

"I can do it."

A gentle summer breeze ruffled Shen Bailian's black hair. Gazing at the sculpture not far away, his resolve grew stronger.

……

"Nurse, will the surgery have any effects? How long will it take for him to wake up?"

"Don't worry, you're almost fully recovered. As for how long it will take to wake up, it could be a few minutes or half an hour. However, the effects of the anesthetic will probably take another half hour to wear off, so we need to be careful."

"OK, thanks."

Shen Bailian got up and saw the nurse who was going to change the dressing out, then returned to the bedside, picked up a fruit knife, and began to peel an apple.

"Sigh~"

Wei Peng felt a sharp pain in his head, gasped, and was jolted awake from his sleep.

"Old...Old Shen, what are you doing here?"

He looked at Shen Bailian, who was sitting on the edge of the bed peeling an apple. Because of the head injury, he had not fully recovered and was momentarily confused.

Shen Bailian looked up at him, smiled, and slowly spoke under the other's puzzled gaze:

"You're awake. The surgery was a success. You're a lovely girl now."
