In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Chapter 74: The Encounter!

As Li Yuan walked into the training ground of the No. 1 Middle School, he saw Principal Yin and other school leaders on the rostrum.

But today, in addition to these school leaders, Director Zeng also came.

Lingshan No. 1 Middle School did not invite him; Director Zeng must have come on his own initiative.

Several officials from the Municipal Education Bureau accompanied him.

"Since it is a teaching task, our municipal education bureau has the responsibility to supervise it."

Just focus on doing your best later, and I'll keep an eye on things.

Director Zeng smiled at Li Yuan.

The subtext of this statement is to tell Li Yuan that he will be watching whether this matter is compliant with regulations.

He could immediately intervene to stop anything that was unfair to Li Yuan or violated regulations.

At 10:30, Gu Yu and Jin Fan also arrived.

Upon seeing Li Yuan, Gu Yu and Jin Fan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; they were genuinely worried that Li Yuan wouldn't come.

"In today's match, I hope you will not hold back your moves."

Use whatever skills you have; there's no need to be confined to the Cloud Extreme Fist style.

I don't want various excuses and justifications circulating online after the competition, saying that my victory was dishonorable.

Gu Yu's voice was quite loud.

The surrounding teachers, students, and media reporters—anyone who paid even a little attention—heard it.

Li Yuan nodded, agreeing to his request.

"In addition, I did lose the last time we fought."

But as you can see, I didn't go all out.

I let you win this time because I knew Yunjiquan.

After today's martial arts competition, you must not mention that victory in public again.

""

Before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Li Yuan had already shaken his head.

"It's a fact that you lost to me, and you didn't spread any rumors, so why can't I say it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Yin on the podium immediately responded.

"Teacher Gu Yu, I have already spoken to him."

Some stains, once you get them, can never be washed away.

The greater your achievements in the future, the more often Teacher Li Yuan will mention this matter.

You can beat him ten times and no one will care, but if he beats you once, you'll suffer for a lifetime.

After saying this, Principal Yin immediately picked up the microphone and addressed all the teachers and students.

"To all students of Lingshan No.1 Middle School, I hope that in the future you will not seize upon a single victory and boast about it for the rest of your lives."

Your achievements should continue to be surpassed in the future.

It's truly pathetic to remain stuck in the past.

Principal Yin's words sounded like he was trying to enlighten the students, but in reality, he was mocking Li Yuan.

Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Principal Yin.

The competition is about to begin, there's no need to argue with him anymore.

At the same time, Gu Yu seemed to have another request, taking a few steps forward and speaking again.

"After today's competition, you must return the qualification for the Lanwu Trial to my senior brother Jin Fan."

The Lanwu Trial is not easy and is accompanied by various dangers.

Today's competition can help you see yourself clearly and understand the gap in your abilities.

Giving up the Lanwu Trial will only benefit you.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled.

"Then why don't you ask Teacher Jin Fan to give me the training qualification for Snow Shadow Mountain?"

Upon hearing this question, Jin Fan, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"It's a deal. If you win, I'll give you the qualification to train at Snow Shadow Mountain."

If you lose, give me the qualification for the Lanwu Trial!

Jin Fan seemed to have been waiting for these words.

As soon as Li Yuanyi said it, he immediately grabbed it, wanting to confirm the prize.

"Once you've finalized your private agreement, get ready as soon as possible. The martial arts training session will begin promptly at 11:00."

Director Zeng wanted to stop it and was about to remind Li Yuan.

Before he could even speak, Principal Yin on the podium interrupted him.

Seemingly fearing that Li Yuan might change his mind, they quickly pushed the process forward.

A space has been reserved on the training ground for sparring.

The teachers and students watching from the sidelines were all unconsciously a little nervous at this moment.

Everyone knows that the martial arts competition and teaching are just a pretext.

The relationship between the two sides who fought was already somewhat strained.

This competition wasn't for teaching purposes at all; it was simply to determine a winner and a loser.

Students actually prefer this approach.

The less educational value the content seems, the more excited most students become, and the more attentive they are.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yuan and Gu Yu walked to the center of the playground.

Gu Yu was much more serious this time.

It seems he believes that as long as he takes it seriously and gives it his all, the outcome of this competition is already decided.

"Teacher Li Yuan, do you still remember what you said before?"

I asked you how long you thought it would take me to surpass you, and you said two months.

I said it might be a month.

Thirty-two days have passed since then.

Here, we can show everyone the results.

Gu Yu recounted a joke they had made earlier.

In his eyes, he had never actually fallen behind Li Yuan.

The previous competition was because he suppressed his martial arts realm, and he wanted to suppress Yunji Fist with his raw strength.

That's why they lost the match.

Gu Yu's statement about surpassing Li Yuan actually refers to something very specific.

Specifically, he intended to defeat Li Yuan's Cloud Extreme Fist using his own martial arts techniques.

Gu Yu wanted to completely suppress Li Yuan and win without any suspense.

It's eleven o'clock.

The scheduled martial arts training session has officially begun.

In normal martial arts duels, weapons are usually not used to protect the safety of both fighters.

They compete using fist and palm techniques combined with body movement skills.

Today will be no different; the two will fight with fists and palms.

For martial artists, the strength of their fists and palms can largely reflect their talent and potential.

Compared to weapon-based martial arts, fist and palm techniques have a greater demonstration effect.

Of course, its power is far less than that of martial arts techniques that use weapons.

However, fist and palm techniques are also very important in actual combat, and can play a backup role in many tense moments.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan moved forward.

Gu Yu dragged his feet, seemingly intending to let Li Yuan make the first move.

Since he was willing to give it up, Li Yuan accepted his kindness.

With both hands forming fists, the Cloud Extreme Fist technique is unleashed in an instant.

Three transformations and nine extremes: extreme power, extreme speed, and extreme control.

Each variation can be combined with three different moves.

The energy around the fist moves rapidly, gathering like clouds!

Everyone could tell that Li Yuan was very casual at the moment.

In martial arts competitions, the first few moves are usually just for testing the waters.

This allows us to uncover the opponent's weaknesses and find their vulnerabilities, which we can then exploit.

Gu Yu responded with a palm strike, his expression calm and he seemed very confident.

But as Li Yuan's fist approached, his moves changed instantly.

The most powerful move was aimed at his lower right abdomen.

The palm technique that Gu Yu has learned has the ability to block the river and control the qi.

Outside of martial arts, this palm technique is considered a top-tier defensive skill.

With this defensive posture, Hanjiang was also blocked.

But Li Yuan managed to find that one flaw.

In Gu Yu's eyes, she actually felt that she was just unlucky.

Somewhat embarrassed, they retreated, switched to a defensive stance, and barely managed to get through it.

At this moment, Gu Yu already sensed that something was wrong.

This feeling of unease is similar to what I encountered when I fought Li Yuan last time...
