In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

It's the weekend again.

With ample nutrient solution prepared, Li Yuan has been practicing diligently for the past two days.

I used to think that living in a remote suburb would cause a lot of inconvenience in life.

But now, Li Yuan actually thinks this place is quite suitable.

Once outside, you can find any secluded spot and begin your cultivation practice.

Li Yuan also began to use the Sinking Mountain Fist to practice and cultivate.

This set of boxing techniques is very effective in strengthening the body.

Especially in the step of training strength, how to raise strength from the ground and train it to the extreme, Chenshanquan can provide the answer.

A martial artist who has mastered the Sinking Mountain Fist will find it extremely helpful when learning weapon-based martial arts.

His technique of applying force is several times better than others.

In two days, all the nutritional supplements I bought were consumed.

Li Yuan felt that his basic strength had reached the pinnacle of the fourth rank.

To prepare for the upcoming competition, I need to focus more on my martial arts skills.

Weapons are not allowed in competitions held within the school.

Naturally, it comes down to fist techniques. Li Yuan looked at his fist and realized that he could only use the "Collapse Fist".

I am most familiar with this set of boxing techniques.

Relying on the talent of "Mastering Enlightenment", I also grasped its most core essence.

Put in a little more effort and focus on practicing your body movement skills.

Li Yuan has studied the "Cloud Steps" for many years, grasped its profound meaning, and after a period of intensive practice, his movement skills are no weaker than Jin Fan's.

The weekend is over, and it's time for classes again.

Li Yuan arrived at the office early, and his colleagues seemed to be more polite to him than last week.

Unlike last week, she wasn't avoiding me at all.

When there were still ten minutes left before he was late, Mr. Chen Yong finally arrived.

Upon seeing Li Yuan, he didn't avoid him and moved closer.

Today, Mr. Chen Yong had a lot more smiles on his face, unlike the worried look he had last week.

"Wow, that's impressive. Getting an A+ rating in the evaluation, no wonder you dare to argue with the principal and the director."

"I'm treating everyone to lunch, and I want the big chicken cutlet."

With an A+ rating, my job is pretty much secure.

Even if the principal and others are unhappy, it will be difficult for them to expel Li Yuan in a short period of time.

As Li Yuan's good friend, Chen Yong was genuinely happy.

"I can give you another chicken leg," Li Yuan replied with a smile.

The results of this open class have indeed solved a major problem and a big trouble.

Having ability will earn you respect.

Other teachers knew that Li Yuan had offended the school leaders, but this week, their attitude towards Li Yuan was noticeably less cold.

Despite his abilities, Li Yuan never had a good relationship with the school leaders.

They'll likely face a lot of backstabbing and discrimination in the future.

At noon, Li Yuan and Chen Yong went outside the school to grab a bite to eat.

Chen Yong didn't mind being with Li Yuan, but Li Yuan was still afraid of getting involved.

I still need to fight for this qualification for the Qingwu Tournament.

To avoid any problems that might arise and cause trouble for him as well.

After leaving the school, the two met again at a casual dining restaurant on another street.

Li Yuan was supposed to treat everyone, but after ordering the food, Chen Yong insisted on paying the bill himself.

Chen Yong knew that Li Yuan's family was of modest means. Although Li Yuan was also a junior teacher, his family was much better off.

Chen Yong could spend all the money he earned.

Unlike Li Yuan, who had to pay rent, buy nutrient solutions, and save as much as possible.

"Are you really going to participate in the competition this weekend?"

After some hesitation, Chen Yong finally asked the question.

In Chen Yong's view, Li Yuan had received an A+ in the evaluation of the public course, so he could stop while he was ahead.

Even if one is stuck at the fourth rank for life, with this level of teaching quality, one can still earn a lot more bonuses.

Compared to before, living conditions will be much better.

Li Yuan understood Chen Yong's thoughts. Essentially, he was worried that he wouldn't get any benefits and would end up getting into trouble.

But I'm determined to qualify for this Qingwu Tournament.

This is an opportunity for personal growth, and now, it's not necessarily a matter of losing.

"I still want to give it a try and fight for this opportunity."

They've always been easy targets; they've managed to escape this time, but they'll likely be bullied again in the future.

There are only two open courses per semester, how can the prize money cover that?

Obtaining an intermediate professional title is the key to a salary increase.

My parents are getting older; we really need to save some money.

Li Yuan doesn't hold back when talking to his close friends.

Say what you truly think.

Chen Yong nodded; he understood Li Yuan's predicament.

I'm thirty now, and I can no longer live like before, where I'm the only one who needs to feed myself.

Chen Yong hesitated for a moment, feeling there was a message he still needed to tell Li Yuan.

"Have you heard anything about Jin Fan's identity lately?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

"The school is saying that his mentor is a grandmaster-level expert..." Chen Yong said with a serious expression.

When a grandmaster is involved, even the smallest thing becomes a big deal.

"The news came from the students. I didn't believe it at first, but I asked someone to check it out over the weekend, and it's true."

Offending him might cause trouble...

At this point, Chen Yong noticed that Li Yuan seemed even more worried.

It was only at this moment that Li Yuan realized that Jin Fan actually had such a background.

But Li Yuan quickly figured it out.

Why be afraid of his retaliation?

He's already trying to steal your resources, why are you worried about offending him?

I'm already thirty, and there will be even fewer opportunities for experience in the future.

Especially for training opportunities like the Qingwu Tournament, which offer many benefits, such opportunities are extremely rare.

If you miss this opportunity, you might be stuck at the fourth rank for the rest of your life.

"While I still have a little bit of fighting spirit left, I must fight for this qualification for the Qingwu Tournament."

As for any grandmaster, not offending him won't bring me any benefit.

Chen Yong nodded: "I guess you won't give up so easily, but brother, you need to reassess Jin Fan's strength."

He was a disciple trained by a grandmaster.

That grandmaster only had four disciples in total...

Disciples carefully selected by a master are bound to have good talent and potential.

With such a powerful mentor guiding him, what kind of strength will he ultimately achieve...?

"I understand that, regardless of winning or losing, I will at least protect my own safety."

Li Yuan had two classes in the afternoon, and he attended them as usual.

For the simpler courses, the difference between Li Yuan's teaching style and that of other teachers was not so significant.

But for the students in Class 9 and Class 14, the difference was still noticeable.

Since last week, Li Yuan's lectures have become much easier to understand.

These courses are not as difficult as "Sinking Mountain Fist". Children with some talent can understand a lot of it by previewing it.

But Li Yuan's explanation can also bring different insights.

Besides picking up the fallen light spots in Class 9 and Class 14, Li Yuan also picked up some when passing by other classes.

On Tuesday afternoon, just before leaving get off work, Li Yuan checked the experience points he had collected one last time.

Experience points: 309/300

My third talent point is finally enough!

With his mind in control, the next moment small words appeared before his eyes: "Talent Points Successfully Condensed".
