Chapter 34: Fight!
Inside the office, Yan Menglu looked at the female classmate in front of her with melancholy and said, “Cry, crying also counts as time.”
The female classmate cried even harder.
Yan Menglu kept a cold face: “I’m doing this for your own good. You really have no talent. Your family can’t afford it, your preparatory physical test was just qualified, and your general knowledge is just at normal person level. Take advantage of the remaining time to switch to the liberal arts track quickly, and you can still get good grades.”
This was decided before summer vacation, not swayed by personal will.
After persuading the female classmate away, Yan Menglu sighed.
Although she had long known that some people would be unwilling, today it wasn’t just this one classmate struggling. Some from Great Qing were waiting at the school gate early to plead, some came dragging family to sell misery, all just to get more martial arts training.
The mainstream of the world is here, and no one wants to give up easily.
But these people only thought about continuing martial arts training, while Yan Menglu had to consider much more.
No matter how reluctant, she had to steel her heart, otherwise it would harm people.
“Teacher Yan, we’re here!”
She had just adjusted her mood and was preparing to face the next one reporting, when a vigorous voice sounded at the door.
Deng Hao strode in boldly, and without waiting for her to speak, he first surged his qi and blood.
Yan Menglu’s eyes lit up, and then she saw Jia Dong following behind also surging his qi and blood.
Both one Dragon Gate!
“Good!”
As soon as the word came out, the two automatically stepped aside, letting the last Li Ye in.
Yan Menglu’s smile grew even more, “This is a big surprise for me. You three have all reached Dragon Gate?”
A smile floated at the corner of Li Ye’s mouth, and the surging qi and blood made Yan Menglu stunned for a moment.
Qi blood leap frequency three times.
“Three Dragon Gates?!”
Yan Menglu widened her eyes: “What did you do?!”
Deng Hao grinned: “I told you Teacher Yan would be surprised.”
They were preparatory students before, and after one summer vacation, they reached three Dragon Gates—whoever it was would be surprised.
“A relative became my master and taught me very well.” Li Ye smiled.
Yan Menglu murmured: “Is this a matter of teaching well or not?”
They didn’t understand, but didn’t she?
They were already preparatory students before, which meant their talent really wasn’t great. Martial arts training is very difficult for preparatory students, and to break through definitely requires even more effort.
Like Deng Hao and Jia Dong, she wasn’t surprised. With family conditions and willingness to invest, a crash could really reach one Dragon Gate. But that also means they have the talent; if done steadily, they might break through even in senior year preparatory.
But only one Dragon Gate at most, and later perhaps like her, unable to advance.
But like Li Ye, breaking through to three Dragon Gates in one breath—this wasn’t about willingness anymore; even eating people isn’t this fast.
He must have met a great benefactor.
But Yan Menglu didn’t probe further; in her eyes, breaking Dragon Gate was a good thing.
“Three breaking through Dragon Gate to switch to martial arts track— you’ve broken the record.”
Yan Menglu took out the form: “This also brings glory to the school. Come handle the procedures. After formal opening of school, you’ll be martial arts students.”
It really broke the record. No. 14 Middle School each year transfers up from preparatory just like the data Li Ye saw back then, 100:1.
Two classes together produce one per year; one extra is big good news.
Now three at once, plus Guo Chumíng who broke through in the first half of the year, total four. Nothing else, her year-end bonus looks better.
This doesn’t need verifying authenticity; surging qi and blood is the best proof, can’t be faked.
After the three filled the form, Yan Menglu put it away and smiled: “Congrats again, especially Li Ye. If this momentum continues, breaking to four Dragon Gates or above in senior year would make you key Martial Arts University material. If breaking further—”
She didn’t dare think!
Top Martial Arts University—for No. 14 Middle School this ordinary school, how many years to produce such a person?
Dragon Gate Realm gets harder to leap the higher you go. Since Yan Menglu became a teacher at school, she hadn’t seen top martial arts material.
This time there might be some hope, but that situation was too special, can’t calculate normally.
“Train well!”
Yan Menglu waved her hand, signaling them to go out and let the next classmate in.
Surprises are occasional; most students still have to switch to liberal arts track or stay preparatory.
But this had nothing to do with Li Ye and them anymore. They ate lunch, and the three started strolling the streets.
Deng Hao and Jia Dong were full of excitement, looking left and right, looking at everyone with a inexplicable expectation.
After breaking Dragon Gate, they also went to Martial Arts School to train martial arts. Deng Hao trained Hammer Breaking City Skill, a strength-heavy martial art, also weapon-heavy, using double hammers.
Jia Dong learned Ape Strike Method, known for its flexible and changeable yet ferocious style, using long staff.
But for them just learning martial arts, not yet at the level to use weapons, but enough to make one arrogant.
Having a hammer in hand, everyone looks like a nail—this fit Deng Hao and Jia Dong perfectly.
They just wanted to see where there was a chance to draw blade to help, to show justice.
Facts proved they overthought; instead, three together, with two looking unkindly at an old lady and little girl, almost making them call the police.
Gathering ended, everyone went home respectively. When 1st formal opening of school, Li Ye bid farewell to the teaching building mixing liberal arts and preparatory, instead heading to a separate venue in the back.
That was the martial arts track location.
Martial arts track unlike normal studies, no stages. It’s by personal year, overall ungraded; whether freshman or senior, all who broke Dragon Gate gather together.
Li Ye brought Deng Hao and Jia Dong into the martial arts track venue. In sight was a spacious field, surrounded by training equipment from ancient to modern. When they arrived, people were already there.
Some stepping on wooden stakes, trying to make body flexible, seeming to train lightness skill.
Some using iron man stumps, constantly colliding full body with iron rods extending from the stumps, making whooshing and haha sounds, seeming to train hardening technique.
Wielding weapons, punching and kicking, and some training dodging in front of high-speed tennis machine.
Very varied.
“It’s you!”
They just entered, and a voice sounded nearby.
That person with iron boots on both feet, grinning ferociously as he walked over, “Good! I was just preparing to find you, didn’t expect you to come yourselves!”
It was Guo Chumíng.
He lay in hospital three days, when out wanting revenge found vacation, could only hold this breath. Finally waited for opening of school, just preparing after school to find these people trouble, didn’t expect they came first!
Entered martial arts track?
Just broke through, how to compare with him who trained long at one Dragon Gate. Last time careless, this time absolutely not!
While speaking, Guo Chumíng dashed with legs, faintly stepping out whistling wind. Approaching, about to leap, one foot bending forward, about to kick at the leading Li Ye.
“Come one-on-one!”
Bang!
But his legs just left ground, Li Ye one kick to his chest, stunned him flying out, sliding some distance on ground.
“Beat him!”
Li Ye tsked, “Worst case pay some medical expenses!”
Deng Hao and Jia Dong showed grinning smiles, hurriedly pounced over, giving the fallen Guo Chumíng a beating of punches and kicks.
“Can’t you count!”
Deng Hao while hammering Guo Chumíng, laughed: “We three here, you one person, who the fuck one-on-one with you! Before summer vacation I no Dragon Gate let you show off, after summer vacation I broke Dragon Gate still let you show off? Die!”
