Before the Grade Level, Pre-selected Disciples

Holy crap!

"Brother Li is not only a legendary fighter with incredible durability, but he can also launch a surprise counterattack!"

"Teacher Su Nianying was using a Qi and Blood level of 9.0 just now, right? How could she successfully counterattack despite a difference of 2.6 Qi and Blood levels?"

"Brother Li's martial arts talent is a bit outrageous; the timing of his 'Dropping Cloud Hand' move just now was perfect!"

"This is so enviable... amazing."

"But why did I hear such a hard, crisp sound just now? Could it be that Teacher Su...?"

"Cough cough cough, drink water quickly, drink water!"

Under normal circumstances, a level 9.0 in Qi and Blood can easily kill an opponent with a level 7.0 to 8.0, let alone Li Xijun's level of 6.4.

The difference in physique, strength, and speed between the two sides was too great, making it almost impossible for either to strike the other.

However, Li Xijun, who possessed the cultivation level of the Concentration Realm, seized the opportunity and successfully struck Su Nianying in the chest with a palm.

This was something that all the students in the martial arts class found incredible.

Even Su Nianyi was holding her sketchbook, watching the scene before her intently, lost in thought.

Li Xijun was also somewhat incredulous.

His attack was purely a result of his successful breakthrough; he was so satisfied with the blow that his fighting spirit was boiling, and he couldn't help but unleash his full power.

He thought the opponent would easily dodge using a speed exceeding 9.0 of his Qi and Blood level.

Unexpectedly, this tall and mature woman actually limited her strength to a Qi and Blood level of 9.0 and took his palm strike.

"Li Xijun, you should take your hand away."

Su Nianying seemed completely unconcerned and continued her commentary:

"Your mastery of the Thirty-Six Forms of True Martial Arts is quite good. Although your Cloud-Dropping Hand is not yet fully mastered, its momentum is so fierce that it is almost as powerful as a martial artist who has killed people."

"Your mental level and martial arts talent far surpass those of your peers. If you can rank in the top 100 in this monthly exam, I will give you a private martial arts classroom and a matching nanosuit for training."

Seeing that Su Nianying seemed only focused on the power of his martial arts killing move, the Hanging Cloud Hand,

Li Xijun quickly stopped and thanked the other party profusely upon hearing their words.

"Thank you, Professor Su..."

For some reason, Li Xijun always felt awkward calling him "teacher".

Su Nianying nodded slightly and continued her instruction, saying:

"You have great talent, but it's a pity you started a bit late; you're only at level 6.4 now."

"Stop practicing your so-called external martial arts techniques and focus on improving your Qi and blood levels."

"After a martial artist in the Transcendent Realm sheds their mortal body, when attacked, they will instinctively make their extraordinary body harder than alloy steel, far stronger than any effort you would put into forging your body."

These words seem to be a teaching, and also an explanation of the previous accident.

"Teacher, I will personally sponsor your Qi and Blood potions for the next five months. You should also maintain your previous cultivation speed. You should be able to increase your level by 0.1 every 5 days to reach level 6 without much pressure. I estimate that you will be able to break through level 0.1 every 10 days to reach level 7. Strive to reach a Qi and Blood level of 8.0 by the end of the semester."

"If you have any questions about the basic practice methods, feel free to ask me."

"If you can rank in the top 30 in your grade in the final exams this semester, I will personally guide you in practicing advanced sword techniques."

After finishing her presentation, Su Nianying, having completed the practical test, strode away with her long legs.

The entire Martial Arts Class Six behind them erupted in cheers.

"Did I hear that right?"

"Holy crap, Brother Li's going to be rich!"

"Brother Li, that's a powerful expert in the Outer Realm, a teacher from the top-tier academy in the Federation, the Qingquan Chunhui Hall in the Imperial Capital, who personally provided guidance!"

"My god, if this were ancient times, Brother Li, you'd be considered a direct disciple of a powerful cultivator at the Outer Realm level, right? You'd be able to do whatever you want in Bocheng!"

Almost all the students in Martial Arts Class Six gathered around.

Even if they aren't as materialistic as some working professionals,

However, the crisis-ridden environment of this world and their status as martial arts students preparing for battle made them acutely aware of the importance of finding a powerful patron.

Even when Ye Liuyun was beside Li Xijun, he whispered:

"The Thunder God and Thunder Saint of the Western Alliance studied under the Wind Saint for a period of time. When he mastered his swordsmanship, he engraved it on the stone carving in the Qingquan Chunhui Hall. Later, after being improved by many teachers, it formed the strongest lightning-type swordsmanship in the Federation."

"hope-jun, you must seize this opportunity!"

Even Ye Liuyun rarely lost his composure, and his raised voice made Li Xijun take him seriously.

Li Xijun remained remarkably calm in response, simply nodding slightly and smiling as she dealt with the various compliments and flattery from her classmates.

........................

the other side

After leaving the house, Su Nianying walked down the quiet corridor with her usual haughty and aloof expression.

Su Nianyi, who was holding a sketchbook and looked like a quiet girl,

But he would occasionally glance at her chest, a slight smile playing on his lips, looking thoughtful.

Su Nianying finally lost her temper and reached out to pinch her sister's ear, but Su Niany easily dodged it and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're still laughing! You seem so well-behaved all the time, but you're a wicked devil inside!"

"Who told someone to be so rigid? I already said his mental power is about to awaken, and he still dares to underestimate me... To avoid losing face, he even brought out his superhuman physique."

"Su Nianyi!"

The two sisters, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, played around all the way until they entered Su Nianying's office, where they finally calmed down.

...........................

That evening

As a key high school, No. 7 High School efficiently released the monthly exam results for all students to view after school.

But this time,

As the incident involving Li Xijun during the practical combat exam of Martial Arts Class Six escalated,

All the students in the entire grade were not paying attention to their own grades, but instead looking at the list, searching for the ranking of this genius who was valued by the powerful outsiders.

With a dark mind, Zhou Yibai first went to look at the names of students between one hundred and two hundred, hoping to see Li Xijun's name.

Those focused on their own rankings, such as Zhou Shenghao and Ye Liuyun, looked at the ranking ranges of 10th to 20th and 30th to 40th respectively. Only after finding their own rankings did they look back at Li Xijun's name with satisfaction.

"He's ranked 82nd in the grade." A familiar but trembling female voice rang in the ears of the three.

The students gathered around the notice wall were also drawn in by Liu Yunmeng's words.

Almost everyone's eyes were drawn to the name "Li Xijun" among the top 100 students in that grade.

This person, after acquiring some resources at the start of the school year, has skyrocketed to great heights.

In just one month, he jumped from 240th to 82nd in the grade.

He went from having little hope of getting into one of the thirty-three martial arts universities to becoming a swordsmanship disciple chosen by a powerful external expert, a teacher from the Qingquan Chunhui Palace.

"That's terrifying. If he trains for another eight months, what level will he reach in next June's college entrance exam?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask a question.

But everyone fell silent.
