“Hmm? Do you know what it means to be late to the battlefield?”
“Perhaps your tardiness could lead to countless deaths! How many strategic opportunities would be missed?!”
Zhang Tianhai looked at the Class Teacher on the podium, his face full of authority. He knew his Class Teacher had come from the battlefield.
The reason was unknown, but everyone knew he hated tardiness the most!
‘I’m not going to the battlefield anyway in the future.’
The fatty standing at the classroom door muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Instead, he looked remorseful and deeply pained.
“I know, Teacher. I was late today because I Cultivated very late last night.”
“Don’t make excuses. Your homework is doubled today!”
“Come in.”
The Class Teacher immediately saw through the fatty's excuse, and punishment was unavoidable.
What was due still had to come. The fatty walked towards the classroom with a bitter expression. Upon reaching Jiang Chen’s side, he immediately glared at Jiang Chen.
He had chosen his friends poorly!
Jiang Chen saw the fatty's gaze and then whispered, “It’s just enough to help you lose some weight.”
“Look, is there any Martial Artist like you? You’re almost a Martial Artist, yet you’re still so fat.”
“Squeak~”
The fatty plopped down, and the stool immediately protested with a sound.
However, the fatty didn't care at all, wiggling his butt, then squinted at Jiang Chen.
“My old man is an Eighth-Rank Grandmaster, and isn’t he still a big fatty?”
Jiang Chen was instantly speechless. It seemed this Family had a genetic predisposition.
On the podium, Class Teacher Xi Yingjie lightly coughed, sweeping his gaze across the class, which instantly quieted down.
“Today is Monday. Soon, the entire class will undergo a blood Qi test. With the college entrance examination approaching, and to provide everyone with a better learning environment,”
“The school has decided that starting this week, all third-year students will be divided into learning zones based on their Qi and blood values.”
The moment they heard this news, the classroom immediately became lively.
“Holy cow! What’s going on?”
“Are they creating Key classes ?”
“I heard that a Prodigy Genius has emerged from another school, and he’s already close to being a Second-Rank Martial Artist before the college entrance examination!”
“What?! No way?! A Second-Rank Martial Artist’s Qi and blood value is 800! Is he even human?!”
“Pfft, Geniuses appear every year, and each year they’re stronger than the last. Don’t forget, our school isn’t without Prodigies. During the last test, some already had Qi and blood values over 600.”
“And those few in our class also have a chance to Breakthrough to Second-Rank.”
Some classmates looked at the figures at the front of the classroom and fell silent.
That’s true. After becoming a Martial Artist, the growth of Qi and blood doubles. It seems perfectly normal for some Geniuses to reach Second-Rank Martial Artist.
Xi Yingjie tapped on the desk, and everyone immediately quieted down again.
“As for those with low Qi and blood values, I don’t want you to give up. Perhaps with a little effort in these last few months, you might also achieve a Breakthrough.”
“After all, the Dao of Martial Arts is not lacking in many late-blooming Geniuses!”
“Those whose Qi and blood values Breakthrough above 700 will go to Zone A, becoming the school’s priority training targets.”
As he said this, Xi Yingjie’s gaze naturally fell upon the few individuals in front of him.
These were the promising students in the class who could enter Zone A. He then continued:
“Those with Qi and blood values between 550 and 700 will go to Zone B. Although the resources there are not as good as Zone A, they are still decent.”
“Those with Qi and blood values between 400 and 550 will go to Zone C.”
“Those with Qi and blood values between 250 and 400 will go to Zone D.”
“Those with Qi and blood values between 150 and 250 will go to Zone E.”
“As for the remaining students whose Qi and blood values are below 150, they will all be assigned to Zone F, where mentors will teach you literary knowledge.”
“Perhaps some people lack Martial Dao talent, but they can still immerse themselves in science. The potential of our human body is limitless.”
“The Martial Dao is inherently a path of exploration and knowledge. Perhaps one day, with scientific Breakthroughs, everyone will be able to become a Martial Artist.”
“Oh, right, there’s one more thing I forgot to mention.”
At this point, Xi Yingjie scanned the students in his class, then continued:
“There’s also a cruel reality I must tell you: the first five zones only have 200 spots, and assessments will be conducted every week.”
“If any of you feel your strength is sufficient, you can completely change zones. You can also apply to the Class Teacher for a zone challenge. As long as you are strong enough and succeed in the challenge, you will automatically enter that zone and enjoy its benefits.”
“The other person will drop into your original zone. Afterwards, I will have the class monitor send the benefits of each zone to your hands.”
“Perhaps when you see the zone benefits, you will have a direction for your efforts.”
“Alright, prepare yourselves. Everyone will come to Cultivation Room 22 later.”
After Xi Yingjie finished speaking, he turned and left the classroom. The classroom was silent for a second before erupting into complete chaos.
Everyone was in a jumble, and even the fatty Zhang Tianhai was bewildered.
He looked at Jiang Chen blankly and then asked, “Did you understand what the old Class Teacher just said?”
Jiang Chen nodded, softly saying, “I guess the school is preparing for a final push for the college entrance examination, gathering everyone for intensive training, using a Gu-raising method to see if they can produce a batch of Prodigies.”
The school uses this method to stimulate every student, and then uses a large amount of resources to Cultivate the Geniuses in Zone A. By the time of the college entrance examination, Tianhai No. 1 High School will definitely give everyone a surprise.
However, what Jiang Chen was thinking was that he must enter Zone E within the next week.
He shouldn’t waste such free resources. If it were at the beginning, Jiang Chen might have switched to liberal arts as the fatty suggested.
But now that he has a Clone, and with only two months left until the college entrance examination, it’s not impossible to create a miracle.
The fatty beside him, hearing Jiang Chen's words, couldn't help but murmur, “So that’s why my old man forced me to increase my Qi and blood value this week.”
Jiang Chen glanced at the fatty. Their Zhang Family was completely different from his Jiang Family.
The Zhang Family had always followed a model of Martial Dao combined with business, maintaining peaceful trade relations with all aristocratic Families.
The fatty’s father is now the Zhang Family Patriarch, and because the Zhang Family is involved in business, his Family only has their direct lineage through generations.
Therefore, the fatty will also be the successor of the Zhang Family in the future!
It was nothing for his father to know some inside information. Even among major Families, there were differences.
As for how the fatty became so familiar with Jiang Chen, it was entirely because when they were children, the fatty was often bullied by peers due to his obesity, and only Jiang Chen helped him and played with him.
As they gradually grew up, the fatty became too lazy to bother with Disciples from other Families and only hung out with Jiang Chen.
After the fatty finished muttering, he vigorously patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder and said happily,
“It seems this is all fate’s arrangement. My brother, study hard, and my vast business Empire will be entrusted to you in the future.”
Jiang Chen was instantly speechless, rolling his eyes at him, but before he could retort, a voice mocked,
“Tianhai is right. A good-for-nothing whose Qi and blood value isn’t even a hundred should indeed figure out a way to make a living early.”
The atmosphere instantly became a bit solidified.
