When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 38 The Iron-Blooded Educator

"Alright, now everyone knows Bai Ze's strength. Let's begin the lesson."

After Yan Xinnian finished his internal reflection, he clapped his hands to break the silence and said, "Today's lesson is a practical lesson. Everyone will practice one-on-one. Bai Ze, come with me."

Since it involves logging into the Star Network, it will definitely involve actual combat. The number of students in the elite class is an even number, and now with the addition of Bai Ze, there is one person missing.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Yan Xinnian, as a teacher, to choose to spar with him personally, right?
No wonder!
Calling Bai Ze away separately was clearly not for sparring, but to implement the previously mentioned reward.

This also means that the resources of the elite class at No. 3 Middle School will be tilted towards Bai Ze.

Qi Chengjun, the former chief, can only step down to this position now.

The students appeared to be practicing well, but in reality, they were just going through the motions, their eyes constantly darting towards Bai Ze's figure, whispering amongst themselves.

"Brother Qi, we..."

The boy sparring with Qi Chengjun looked at Qi Chengjun and hesitated, "Shall we start sparring too?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood right now. Why don't you practice on the wooden stake first?"

Qi Chengjun forced a smile, but managed to remain calm. After saying that, he walked to a corner and drew an interface.

[The fight with Bai Ze has been recorded and is being sent to you now.]

A short, two-second video appeared on the screen. Qi Chengjun watched the sudden and intense battle and finally couldn't help but reveal a fierce expression.

'Bai Ze!!'

······
······
On the other side, Yan Xinnian led Bai Ze to the entrance of the martial arts hall, pushed the door open, and revealed a completely different view outside.

Outside the martial arts hall is not the campus of No. 3 Middle School, but a library with rows of bookshelves.

At this moment, the virtual space exhibits a paradoxical relationship with reality. Outside the venue is another vast library, with the spaces automatically switching and the scenes being exactly the same as the real ones.

Bai Ze could even smell the paper and ink.

This scene... is a bit baffling.

"Um...Teacher Yan, what are we doing here?" Bai Ze suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Oh, this is your new classroom before the college entrance exam next year."

Yan Xinnian replied, "Besides martial arts, Yujing Martial Arts University also excels in humanities subjects. Your grades are a bit less than ideal. After this Youth Cup, you'll need to work on your humanities grades on the Star Network. I'm bringing you here now to get used to it in advance."

Bai Ze, who was just full of vigor, suddenly seemed a little weak.

In fact, as the saying goes, "what is said will be followed by law," so it wouldn't be too difficult for Bai Ze to make up for his humanities grades, provided that math is not included.

If it were just about improving his grades to above average, Bai Ze wouldn't be so worried. But judging from the current situation, it seems he needs more than just above average math grades.

This is a bit awkward.

Bai Ze was unsure whether the saying "speaking the law is as it is" or "not knowing is not knowing" was superior.

Moreover, compared to martial arts, Bai Ze couldn't accept things like studying endlessly for exams.

He had already traveled in his previous life, so why would he travel again in this life? Wouldn't that be a waste of his time travel?

"Yujing Martial Arts University should mainly look at martial arts scores, right?" Bai Ze tried to salvage the situation. "But there are also differences between Yujing students."

The aloof old man stood with his hands behind his back amidst the sea of ​​books, and said proudly, "Only students who are proficient in both literature and martial arts are qualified to comprehend the 'Cantongqi'. Zhang Yu is not even qualified to touch it. My students, of course, must possess the strongest strength and practice the most difficult techniques."

“Just like there are popular and unpopular majors in the humanities, there are similar choices at Yujing Martial Arts University,” Yan Xinnian added from the side. “For example, students who are not good at medicine or mathematics do not have the right to exchange for certain martial arts. However, the right to exchange for the Cantongqi requires you to have an extremely high level in the humanities, lest you fail to comprehend it and go astray.”

But I don't need to make things difficult for myself in terms of cultivation!

Even the most difficult techniques, Bai Ze believed he could master with his extraordinary talent and unparalleled ability to make his words come true.

And isn't it a bit too far ahead to be thinking about things after getting into Yujing Martial Arts University?

"Not only that, if one can be proficient in mathematics and understand the Eight Trigrams, one can also have a great advantage in fighting enemies."

The old headmaster looked at Bai Ze with the eyes of someone who had discovered a treasure. "With the talent you've shown, it's a pity you're just a martial artist. You have a brighter future ahead of you. And I, too, can break the curse of not being able to produce good students for decades and stand directly at the pinnacle."

The old principal's voice gradually became more impassioned, as if he had already envisioned a bright future where he could show off freely in front of his old friends.

Bai Ze: "..."

His main purpose in coming here this time was to demonstrate his abilities and talent to the old principal.

After all, no one else witnessed the previous fight with Wu Jincheng, so the old principal still needed to verify the authenticity of the evidence before he could truly feel at ease.

Bai Ze had no doubt that when he and Qi Chengjun made their move, the old principal had been using the StarNet to observe from the sidelines.

In that brief exchange, Bai Ze's proficiency with the "Scatter Shot" technique, as well as his footwork and skill, should have caught the old principal's eye.

There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

Good news: Bai Ze made the old principal very satisfied.

The bad news: the old principal was too satisfied.

Getting into Yujing Martial Arts University was no longer enough for the old principal; he developed even greater ambitions.

Not only does he have to get into Yujing Martial Arts University, but he also has to cultivate the "Cantongqi". The old principal almost regards Bai Ze as a second Mu Yaoguang.

So what level of education is required to cultivate the Cantongqi?

The knowledge taught in textbooks is probably not enough; it also needs to involve many cultivation terms, as well as divination techniques like Bagua and alchemy.

And it can't be rote memorization; it has to be applied flexibly.

Having a photographic memory and a calm mind are not enough; more buffs are needed, and one must be determined to start preparing for graduate school directly from high school.

Just thinking about it made Bai Ze break out in a cold sweat.

"Well... let's talk about that after the Youth Cup," Bai Ze said with a dry laugh. "There's no rush now, no rush."

"It's alright, we can start with medicine and language, which will also help solidify your martial arts foundation and increase your knowledge and experience."

The old principal revealed his true colors as a tough educator: "Understanding the meridians will allow you to better utilize your internal energy, and the Eight Trigrams numerology will allow you to face your opponents with ease. I have a feeling that I will be able to make a great showing in this Youth Cup."

He grabbed Bai Ze's shoulder, his eyes revealing a deep meaning, "You will become the second Mu Yaoguang, I have confidence in you."
