Full-Time Martial Saint

The three cultural classes ended quickly, and the fourth class in the morning was still a physical training class.

In order to maintain his "reckless" persona, Chen Cong, as expected, once again trained himself to the point where he couldn't even stand up.

During the afternoon physical training class, he even asked the physical training teacher, Qin Chuan, to do the same amount of training as the other students. In the end, when class ended, he was carried out of the classroom by Zhao Cheng amidst the strange expressions of the other students and Qin Chuan.

In the lounge, seeing Chen Cong looking extremely exhausted, Zhao Cheng handed him a bottle of special drink and said worriedly, "Brother Cong, take it easy."

"If you keep going like this, you might really ruin your health."

Chen Cong took the special drink and drank it all in one gulp. He said slowly, "You know my situation. If I don't give it my all, I won't even be able to get into the Martial Arts University."

"But you..." Zhao Cheng was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a figure walking slowly in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

"Director Liu... Director Liu!"

Upon seeing that the person who came was Liu Bingran, the director of academic affairs, Zhao Cheng quickly stood up. His nearly two-meter height made him look like a primary school student who had made a mistake, and he stood obediently to the side, not daring to look up.

Liu Bingran nodded slightly: "I have something to discuss with Chen Cong. You can go ahead and do your work."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng quickly bowed and fled as if he were escaping.

Liu Bingran sat down in the chair opposite Chen Cong. Looking at Chen Cong, who was soaked in sweat and looked pale, she sighed with a complicated expression: "If you were a freshman now, I would bet my position as the dean of academic affairs to guarantee you a full scholarship."

Chen Cong smiled and lowered his head: "Thank you, Director Liu."

Liu Bingran nodded slightly and continued, "This morning I met with the school leaders, and they agreed that from today onwards, you are a real student of the Martial Arts Academy. The matter of being a temporary transfer student and the bet are over."

"Oh?" Chen Cong was delighted upon hearing this. "If I withdraw from the martial arts academy halfway through, can I get a partial refund of the 38888 yuan tuition fee?"

"You!" Liu Bingran was stunned for a moment, and a hint of anger flashed across her face, but she slowly regained her composure.

She knew that this was Chen's way of getting revenge for her blocking his transfer to another school.

"This kid holds a grudge," Liu Bingran thought to herself, but continued aloud, "Besides informing you of this, I also want to tell you that although the school has given you official student status, you can't slack off in any way."

"Your overall physical fitness is the biggest obstacle to getting into the Martial Arts University. If you don't reach level 5.0, there's absolutely no way you can get into the Martial Arts University. Without getting into the Martial Arts University, you basically have no hope of becoming an advanced martial artist."

"I hope you can create a miracle."

Chen nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Director Liu, I don't want to disappoint my parents and those who care about me."

Liu Bingran smiled with relief, stood up, and said, "Alright, that's all. Go to class now."

"Goodbye, Director Liu." After standing up and watching Liu Bingran leave the lounge, Chen Cong checked the time and hurriedly headed towards the boxing classroom.

With a few minutes to go before class, Zhang Kui and his two teaching assistants seemed to be in good spirits and had already arrived at the classroom.

Upon seeing him enter, Zhang Kui called out from afar, "Chen Cong, come here."

Chen quickly approached and bowed, saying, "Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Kui nodded and asked, "Did you go to Qingshan Martial Arts Academy?"

Chen Cong nodded and briefly recounted his visit to Qingshan Martial Arts Academy the previous night.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kui couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You little rascal..."

"Li Xiuwen is a very arrogant guy. After you messed with him like this, he'll probably be furious."

Chen Cong smiled, then, as if he had thought of something, he quickly took out the invitation letter from the Martial Peak Hall from his pocket.

"Teacher, the Martial Arts Hall has also made a move."

Zhang Kui glanced at the invitation and nodded, saying, "As expected."

"However, don't get your hopes up too high. Martial Peak Hall always prefers to let the data speak for itself. Since Green Mountain Martial Academy didn't offer you a third-class contract, Martial Peak Hall probably won't offer a high price either."

After a pause, Zhang Kui suddenly lowered his voice and solemnly asked, "Chen Cong, tell your teacher the truth, can your family... afford your expenses in martial arts?"

Chen Cong paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "There shouldn't be any major problems. I'm currently trying to get the title of [Black Stone Trialist]. If I can get this title, I can earn some money in the Void Realm to make ends meet in the future."

He did not confess to Zhang Kui that he had been privately charging Ning Yuhang and the others for guidance.

This wasn't because they didn't trust Zhang Kui, but because they were afraid that if the school found out and investigated, it would implicate Zhang Kui and he could be charged with "failing to report a crime."

Zhang Kui took a sip of tea and nodded, saying, "Since you can still afford it, then I'll give you a suggestion."

"Please speak, Teacher Zhang." Chen Cong bowed slightly.

Zhang Kui continued, "Drag it out. Neither of the two families should refuse, but don't rush to agree either. Let's wait until after the college entrance exam to discuss everything."

"I believe that both companies will pay close attention to you during this period, and every bit of progress you make will become a bargaining chip in the negotiations."

"Even if you can't get a top-tier contract from either of the two companies in the future, you should at least try to get a second-tier contract. Only with a second-tier contract will you be free and not forced to perform certain specific tasks."

Chen carefully noted down Zhang Kui's words and nodded, saying, "I'll listen to Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Kui smiled with relief: "Go on, class is about to start."

The boxing class started, and the monthly assessment test had just ended. The subsequent boxing classes no longer included the one-on-one sparring sessions.

Zhang Kui led the students through the boxing routine several times. During the break, Ning Yuhang and a few others ran to Chen Cong's side.

"Chen Cong, shall I ask Teacher Zhang to let you have your martial arts skills tested?" Huang Changhu leaned closer and asked.

The others also looked at him expectantly.

Seeing this, Chen Cong smiled and nodded: "Alright, but don't be too ostentatious."

Seeing that he agreed, Huang Changhu excitedly went to Zhang Kui to make the application. Zhang Kui was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to want to know what Chen Cong's current martial arts skill score was, so he nodded and agreed.

A moment later, while the other students in the class were still sitting in twos and threes discussing boxing techniques, Chen Cong and the others followed Zhang Kui to the room next door with the simulated combat equipment. Zhang Kui personally put on various sensors for him and started the equipment. Then, the group stood quietly outside the door and waited.

[Target's overall physical fitness level detected: 3.1. Simulated opponent generation in progress. Please prepare.]

My overall physical fitness level is 3.1?

My body has become stronger again!?

Inside the device, Chen Cong heard the voice announcement and couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.

Although Zhang Kui and Xu Baiwei both said that martial arts students who are new to martial arts will experience a short-term burst of potential in the early stages due to the potential accumulated in their bodies, Chen Cong felt that his burst was a bit too strong.

[Simulated adversary has been generated. Please prepare. Countdown begins.]

The voice broadcast sounded again, and Chen Cong quickly suppressed his thoughts, took a deep breath, and prepared to test his current martial arts skill rating.
