In the office, Yan Menglu looked at the female student in front of her with a sigh and said, "Crying, crying also takes time."
The female student cried even harder.
Yan Menglu's face turned cold: "I'm doing this for your own good. You really don't have any talent. Your family can't afford it, and you only passed the preparatory course physical test. Your general knowledge is also just at a normal person's level. While there's still time, hurry up and switch to liberal arts. You can still get good grades."
This was decided before the summer vacation and could not be changed by personal will.
After seeing the female student off, Yan Menglu sighed.
Although she knew long ago that some people would be unwilling, and today it wasn't just this student who wanted to struggle. Some people waited at the school gate early in the morning to beg for mercy, and some brought their families to play the pity card, all for the sake of practicing martial arts more.
The mainstream of the world is here, and everyone doesn't want to give up easily.
But these people only thought about continuing to practice martial arts, while Yan Menglu had to consider more.
No matter how compassionate she felt, she had to be resolute, otherwise, she would be harming them.
"Teacher Yan, we're here!"
Just as she adjusted her mood and prepared to face the next person reporting, a powerful voice echoed from the doorway.
Deng Hao strode in carelessly, and before she could speak, he was already circulating his Blood Essence.
Yan Menglu's eyes lit up, and then she saw Jia Dong, who followed behind, also circulating his Blood Essence.
Both were from the First Dragon Gate!
"Good!"
As soon as the word was out, the two automatically moved aside, letting Li Ye, who was last, enter.
Yan Menglu's smile deepened, "This is a big surprise! You three have all reached the Dragon Gate Realm?"
Li Ye's lips curved, and the circulating Blood Essence made Yan Menglu stare blankly for a moment.
The leaping frequency was three times.
"Three Dragon Gates?!"
Yan Menglu's eyes widened: "What did you do?!"
Deng Hao grinned: "I told you Teacher Yan would be surprised."
They were preparatory students before, and after a summer, they had reached Three Dragon Gates. Anyone would be surprised.
"A relative became my Master and taught me very well," Li Ye said with a smile.
Yan Menglu murmured, "Is this a matter of being taught well or not?"
They didn't understand, but didn't she understand?
As preparatory students, practicing martial arts was already difficult, and it definitely required great effort.
For Deng Hao and Jia Dong, she wasn't surprised. Their families had the means and were willing to spend, so a sudden breakthrough to First Dragon Gate was possible. If they followed the normal pace, they might break through in their third year of preparatory studies.
But for someone like Li Ye to break through to Three Dragon Gates in one go, it wasn't a matter of willingness to spend. It was faster than eating people.
This was encountering a great benefactor.
But Yan Menglu didn't investigate further. In her eyes, breaking through the Dragon Gate was a good thing.
"Three people breaking through to the Dragon Gate and transferring to the Martial Arts Major, that's a record."
Yan Menglu took out a form: "You've brought glory to the school. Come and complete the procedures. After the official start of the semester, you will be Martial Arts Students."
It was indeed a record. The number of students transferring from preparatory to the Martial Arts Major at Fourteenth Middle School was, as Li Ye had seen in the data, 100:1.
Each class produced one per year, and having an extra one was a great thing.
Now there were three, and with Guo Chuming, who broke through in the first half of the year, that made a total of four. If nothing else, her year-end bonus would look better.
There was no need to verify the truth of this. The circulating Blood Essence was the best proof; it couldn't be faked.
The three filled out the forms. After Yan Menglu collected them, she smiled and said, "Congratulations again, especially Li Ye. If this momentum continues and you break through to Four Dragon Gates or above in your third year, you'll be material for a key Martial Arts University. If you break through further..."
She didn't dare to think about it!
Top Martial Arts University. How many years had it been since Fourteenth Middle School, an ordinary middle school, produced someone like that?
The higher one climbed in the Dragon Gate Realm, the harder it became. Since Yan Menglu became a teacher at the school, she hadn't seen anyone with the potential for a top university.
There might be some hope this time, but that situation was too special and couldn't be calculated normally.
"Train hard!"
Yan Menglu waved her hand, signaling them to leave and let the students behind them enter.
Surprises were occasional. Most students still had to switch to liberal arts or remain in the preparatory course.
But this had nothing to do with Li Ye and the others. They had lunch together at noon, and then the three of them went for a walk on the street.
Deng Hao and Jia Dong looked excited, glancing around, seeing everyone with a strange sense of anticipation.
After breaking through the Dragon Gate, they had also learned martial arts at a martial arts school. Deng Hao practiced the Hammering City Breaker, a martial art that emphasized strength and weapons, using twin hammers.
Jia Dong learned the Ape Strike Method, known for its flexible and varied style, combined with a fierce demeanor, using a long staff.
However, for them, who had just started learning martial arts, they weren't at the stage of using weapons yet, but it was enough to make them feel a bit arrogant.
To Deng Hao and Jia Dong, the saying "If you have a hammer in your hand, everyone looks like a nail" couldn't be more fitting.
They were looking for any opportunity to play the hero and step in to help.
As it turned out, they were overthinking things. Instead, the three of them ended up together, with two people glaring unpleasantly at an old lady and a little girl, almost prompting them to call the police.
After the gathering, everyone went home. On the first day of the official semester, Li Ye bid farewell to the mixed Liberal Arts and Preparatory Course building and headed towards a separate gymnasium in the back.
That was the location of the Martial Arts Major.
The Martial Arts Major was different from regular studies; it didn't have distinct phases. It was organized by individual year levels, but overall, there were no strict divisions. Whether you were in the first or third year, anyone who had broken through to the Dragon Gate Realm would be gathered together.
Li Ye, Deng Hao, and Jia Dong entered the Martial Arts Major gymnasium. The first thing they saw was a spacious open area, surrounded by training equipment ranging from ancient to modern. When they arrived, some people were already there.
Some were stepping on wooden posts, trying to make their bodies as agile as possible, seemingly practicing lightness skills.
Others were using iron dummy posts, continuously colliding their entire bodies with the iron rods extending from the posts, making whooshing and grunting sounds, as if practicing iron body techniques.
There were people wielding weapons, others practicing punches and kicks, and some practicing evasion in front of a high-speed tennis ball machine.
It was a diverse scene.
"It's you!"
As soon as they entered, a voice rang out from nearby.
The person, wearing a pair of iron boots, walked over with a sinister grin. "Good! I was just about to look for you guys, and here you are!"
It was Guo Chuming.
He had been hospitalized for three days. When he got out and wanted revenge, he found out it was the holidays. He had to suppress his anger. He finally waited until the semester started, and just as he was about to find trouble with them after school, they showed up first!
Entered the Martial Arts Major?
He had only just broken through. How could he compare to someone like him who had been training at the First Dragon Gate for a long time? He had been careless last time; he definitely wouldn't be this time!
As he spoke, Guo Chuming sprang forward, his steps creating a faint whistling sound. As he got close, he was about to leap up, his leg forward, intending to kick the leader, Li Ye.
"Let's fight one-on-one!"
Bang!
But as soon as his feet left the ground, Li Ye kicked him in the chest, sending him flying and sliding across the ground for a distance.
"Fight!"
Li Ye clicked his tongue. "Worst case scenario, I'll pay the medical fees!"
Deng Hao and Jia Dong grinned, their teeth showing, and quickly pounced. They started raining punches and kicks down on the fallen Guo Chuming.
"Are you blind?!"
Deng Hao punched Guo Chuming, laughing. "There are three of us, and only one of you. Who the hell is going to fight you one-on-one! You got cocky before the summer because I hadn't broken through to the Dragon Gate, and you think you can still get cocky after I broke through in the summer? Die!"
