"What did you say?"
Chen Tian didn't react.
"He could clearly do eight rings, but he insisted he could only do seven!"
"My Iced Tea, you drank it for nothing, didn't you?"
Chen Tian reacted and immediately burst into curses.
"You still have the nerve to bring that up? I came all this way, and you found me to teach martial arts, not to mention you tried to fool me with a bottle of Iced Tea. How can you still say that now?!"
"Uh..."
Li Chengshan was embarrassed by the rebuke and chuckled, "Didn't I say I'd treat you to a meal?"
After speaking, Li Chengshan muttered softly.
"But you can't hide your skills..."
"I'm hiding your grandpa, that was me just breaking through... Wait!"
Chen Tian was halfway through his cursing when his expression suddenly changed.
He quickly looked towards the empty space ahead.
It was empty.
The young man from before had already disappeared.
"Ah? Just broke through, huh?"
Li Chengshan didn't notice Chen Tian's abnormality and gave a few awkward dry laughs.
"Well... let's not talk about it anymore. I'll take you to eat first..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
When he heard Chen Tian let out a miserable shriek.
"Damn it!"
"What's going on?" Li Chengshan was a bit bewildered.
"It's all because you, you scoundrel, suddenly appeared!"
Chen Tian gritted his teeth in anger and punched Li Chengshan in the eye, instantly turning his eye socket black and blue!
"Holy crap, Chen Tian, is it that serious? The Iced Tea was a joke!"
Li Chengshan grimaced in pain.
"You said earlier that the school didn't have any good prospects?"
Chen Tian suddenly blurted this out.
Li Chengshan was stunned and subconsciously nodded.
"That's right, haven't you seen the students? The most talented ones in the school are Chen Shan and Li Tu..."
Chen Tian laughed in exasperation, "Is someone who can perform Ben Lei Fist with nine rings considered a good prospect?"
Li Chengshan retorted, "Chen Tian, are you out of your mind? Calling such a prodigy a 'good prospect' is an understatement... Wait a minute!"
Li Chengshan thought of something, and his breathing instantly quickened, his eyes widening.
"What do you mean?!"
"You really don't know?"
Chen Tian was puzzled and explained the whole situation from earlier.
After listening, Li Chengshan's legs went soft, and he almost fell to the ground.
He looked up at the sky, muttering to himself like an idiot.
"Xingcheng No. 1 High School has such a prodigy? Why don't I know!"
With that, he suddenly sprang up from the ground.
"You mean that student just now, was just in that empty space?"
"Yes."
Receiving Chen Tian's affirmative reply.
With a whoosh.
Li Chengshan burst out with full power, leaving a series of afterimages in place as he ran to the empty space.
He looked left and right, and suddenly saw a young man in a school uniform walking towards the cafeteria.
Instantly, his eyes lit up.
"Student, wait!"
He quickly ran over.
And saw the young man turn his head.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Chen Lin." The young man looked bewildered.
"Come on, quickly, perform a set of Ben Lei Fist!"
Chen Lin: "???"
"He... here?" Chen Lin scratched his head in confusion.
"Quick." Li Chengshan urged.
"Oh... alright."
Chen Lin, looking bewildered, took a stance and, based on his memory, performed a crooked set of Ben Lei Fist.
"How was it, Principal? How did I do?"
After finishing, Chen Lin suddenly became a bit excited.
The Principal didn't look for anyone else, but specifically found him.
There must be a reason!
Could it be that I'm a legendary martial arts genius, only I haven't discovered it yet, and the Principal has a discerning eye...
"Uh..."
Li Chengshan fell into a deep silence.
Looking at Chen Lin, who was looking at him with anticipation.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak but hesitated.
He perfunctorily said against his true feelings, "It's alright, keep up the good work."
After speaking, he turned and left.
As he walked, Li Chengshan let out a long shout.
"All teachers, gather in my office at the fastest speed!"
"Holy crap!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Lin's heart pounded wildly!
The Principal watched my Ben Lei Fist.
The next second he summoned all the teachers in the school!
What is he going to do? It's practically self-evident!
"I really am a buried genius!"
Chen Lin's eyes gleamed.
Beside him, Chen Tian, who was walking past him, twitched the corner of his mouth.
He looked hesitant, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to keep quiet.
Forget it, shattering a young man's fantasy is too unkind.
Five minutes later.
Principal's office.
All the teachers, including Li Ming, had arrived.
"Today, every single one of you, report the names of the students who left the gymnasium early!" Li Chengshan said in a deep voice.
Seeing the Principal's aggressive demeanor.
The teachers exchanged glances.
"Principal, do we need to punish these students?"
Li Ming hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
He understood Su Hong's reason for giving up on himself. If the Principal was going to punish them, he wasn't going to report Su Hong's name.
"Punish? I'm too happy to punish! Our school has produced a prodigy, Ben Lei Fist with nine rings!"
Thump, thump, thump!
As soon as these words came out, Li Ming and the other teachers' hearts skipped a beat.
Ben Lei Fist with nine rings?
Our school has such a prodigy?
One must know that Chen Shan and Li Tu barely managed to get started after watching it ten times.
"Oh my goodness."
Li Ming looked shocked.
But he quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it wasn't a punishment, then it had nothing to do with his class.
"Let's start with you. Are there any students in your class who left early?"
At this moment, Li Chengshan pointed to Li Ming.
"Uh, there's one, named Su Hong."
Li Ming simply stated.
Just pointing at random and there is one?
Li Chengshan's eyes lit up.
He quickly pressed, "Has there been anything unusual recently, or rather, is this student named Su Hong relatively introverted and doesn't like to show off?"
"As for his personality, he is indeed quite steady..."
Li Ming weighed his words.
"As for anything unusual, Su Hong has been worried about paying the liberal arts registration fee recently. Some time ago, he even came to me to ask if he could pay a few days later. He should be feeling quite down lately."
Originally, upon hearing about something unusual, Li Chengshan's breathing had quickened.
But after hearing the rest, the corner of his mouth twitched.
A prodigy who could perform Ben Lei Fist with nine rings in such a short time couldn't possibly be unable to come up with thirty thousand yuan.
With that strength, even if he just fought a few matches in an underground boxing match, he would definitely be able to earn it.
Excluded!
"Next."
Li Chengshan pointed to another teacher, then suddenly turned to Li Ming and said.
"By the way, if the student is having difficulties, give him a few more days to pay the registration fee. I approve."
"Good! I thank the Principal on behalf of Su Hong." Li Ming quickly thanked him.
"It's nothing, next."
...
Su Hong was eating in the cafeteria while opening his system panel.
Name: Su Hong
Talent: Peerless Throughout the Ages
Blood Qi: 85 (+)
Spirit: 23 (+)
Physique: Mortal Body · 3% (+)
Martial Arts: Ben Lei Fist · Perfect, Vajra Fist · Perfect, Floating Light Palm · Perfect, Sky Stepping · Perfect.
martial arts value: 0
"Ben Lei Fist has also reached the perfect realm. Next, I need to find a way to earn martial arts value."
Su Hong pondered.
The way to gain martial arts value is by defeating enemies.
If that's the case, defeating those martial artists in the underground boxing matches should count, right?
Su Hong asked the system and received an affirmative answer, which put his mind at ease.
He began to eat heartily, replenishing energy to prepare for the arena fight tonight.
