Lei Jun was filled with emotion at this moment, not only because of the satisfaction he would receive in the future—the bonus, the raise, and the teaching achievements—but also because of a sense of nostalgia for his past.

Once upon a time, Lei Jun was also a spirited high school student, dreaming that one day he could defeat all his opponents with his iron fists, trample all the top students and rich people under his feet, and stand at the pinnacle of all high schools in Songyang.

"One punch can break a hundred million coins! This is the ultimate goal pursued by generations of martial artists!"

But reality quickly slapped him in the face.

His Monthly Exam scores left him feeling powerless to catch up.

The intense, beyond-the-syllabus competition made him realize that he was on a completely different level from those wealthy and academically gifted students, like a mayfly looking at the blue sky—a gap that could be described as hopeless.

Only then did he realize that the Fist Sect, Sword Sect, Qi Sect... none of them were as good as the Money Sect. A billion coins could break Ten Thousand Methods, that was the reality.

He also learned a lesson: money makes you stronger, and the more money you have in your account, the more powerful your fist becomes.

But today, his student, with his frail body, defeated many strong individuals, using his unparalleled talent and skills to overcome the gaps in physical strength, medical insurance, and wealth, and overwhelming these top students from prestigious universities.

He accomplished what he once wanted to do, but later dared not even think about anymore.

He thought to himself, "Sigh, to defeat money with my own fists... this is the realm that we martial artists strive for. Although it was just a tournament in my first year of high school, it's something I'll remember for a lifetime."

At the same time, the emergency doctor in front of him said calmly, "Oh, it's nothing serious, just that you lost too much blood and are weak. You'll be fine after some blood replenishment."

"I'll prescribe some more medicine to replenish your physical strength, mana, and energy..."

Lei Jun pulled out several boxes of medicine from his pocket. "No need to open any more, just take mine. These should be enough, right?" He thought to himself that this way, his insurance premium would increase less next time.

The emergency doctor curled his lip, thinking to himself that it would be really difficult to squeeze any more money out of these three penniless bastards.

A moment later, the referee came over, first asking about Zhang Yu's condition, and then asking Bai Zhenzhen whether she would compete with Song Hailong for third place in the ring battle.

Bai Zhenzhen naturally chose to refuse. Song Hailong's muscular, tanky fighting style was far too effective against her.

A moment later, the top four in the Martial Arts Competition were determined: Zhang Yu, Le Mulan, Song Hailong, and Bai Zhenzhen, from highest to lowest.

On the other side, Le Mulan has also regained her mobility after receiving treatment.

After resting for a while, Zhang Yu, along with Le Mulan and Song Hailong, went to the podium to receive their respective medals as champion, runner-up, and third-place winners.

However, apart from Zhang Yu's smiling face, Le Mulan and Song Hailong both had gloomy expressions, as if they were constipated.

Shouts and curses echoed from the audience.

One of the Red Pagoda residents, his face full of envy, said, "Zhang Yu is so talented; he can learn Martial Arts just by watching others practice. He should pay them when he watches them practice, otherwise he's Martial Dao thief!"

One of the Purple Cloud Person wept bitterly, saying, "That Zhang Yu actually rode on the back of the Sacred First! I wouldn't even dare to do that in my wildest dreams! This is worse than death for me!"

One of the White Dragon Person sighed, "The winners stand, the losers kneel. I never imagined that Songyang High School would have a top student worthy of kneeling before."

To be worthy of kneeling is the highest praise one can give to a top-scoring student at White Dragon High School.

In front of the podium, Lei Jun, beaming, took out his phone to take pictures.

Bai Zhenzhen, who was standing next to her, took a few photos and then started filming videos, already thinking about how to use the name of the Martial Arts Competition to get advertising deals.

While taking photos, she said to the three people on the podium, "Smile! That long face looks awful. Zhang Yu, I'm not talking about you, but tone it down, don't smile so arrogantly."

Lei Jun said from the side, "After the competition, I'll treat you to a meal. Go ask Qian Shen if they're coming, and discuss what they'd like to eat."

In the rest area of Ziyun High School.

Le Mulan was slowly walking back, holding her second-place medal.

The school uniform that had been stained with blood during the fight with Zhang Yu had been replaced with a new one.

The complex emotions she had felt after the battle—ferocity, anger, resentment, and so on—had vanished, and she appeared calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, upon returning to the rest area, Le Mulan saw Lian Tianji kneeling on the ground and frowned slightly. "Get up, I'm retracting the punishment of the stool."

Lian Tianji looked up in surprise, his gaze towards Le Mulan seemingly filled with confusion. This was the first time he had seen Le Mulan retract her words.

Le Mulan said calmly, "I've already lost, what right do I have to punish you?"

"If you become my stool, am I supposed to become your stool since I also lost? Or am I supposed to become Zhang Yu's stool?"

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly to look in Zhang Yu's direction, and said in a complicated tone, "Your failure this time wasn't entirely without fault; this Zhang Yu is indeed very capable."

"Although I still don't understand why he's unwilling to earn more money, he has certainly made me realize my own weaknesses."

Le Mulan had already begun planning her future training in close combat.

In the initial post-match review, Le Mulan felt that she had been too confident and underestimated her opponent. She had been careless for a moment, thinking that she could easily defeat her opponent by dodging, but she did not expect that such a slight flaw would be seized by her opponent.

However, looking back on the entire battle, she suddenly realized that her opponent had come prepared. Not only had they discovered her subtle weaknesses, but they also had the ideas and abilities to exploit them.

In addition, she naturally thought of the issue of her Disgust Zhang Yu's blood.

"Make some contact with the poor..."

Thinking of this Le Mulan couldn't help but frown again, feeling an uncontrollable awkwardness and a kind of mental discomfort.

"It goes against my core principles; changing my mindset is indeed not easy."

Suddenly, she remembered that she had already added Zhang Yu as a friend. Le Mulan thought to herself, "Maybe I should start by looking at the Moments of poor people..."

Lian Tianji laughed as he got up, "This defeat will make us stronger. We'll definitely beat Zhang Yu next time we meet him in the competition."

"The next competition?" Le Mulan said, "Is it Physical Competition? Even if I beat him in that competition, there's no sense of accomplishment."

Lian Tianji was slightly taken aback, then immediately nodded in agreement, saying helplessly, "That's true. His Physical Strength is already so much weaker than ours. By the Physical Competition two months from now, he'll probably be even further behind us."

"Unless he can join Songyang's Competition Team and accept Songyang's so-called Special Training Program..."

In the rest area of White Dragon High School.

Facing his classmates, Chu Qiuhe, now awake, exclaimed, "It was only after I woke up and carefully reviewed the situation that I realized how terrifying Zhang Yu is. I doubt there's a single first-year high school student in the entire Songyang City who can surpass him in practical combat skills."

One of the White Dragon Person Qi Ingestion, "That's an exaggeration! I think Brother Hailong just sweated too much, that's why he slipped off the stage. He could have just sprayed some antiperspirant before going on stage." Chu Qiuhe pointed at him and said, "What's your score? What's your ranking? Kneel down before you talk to me."

After seeing the other party kneel down, Chu Qiuhe slowly said, "You can't fully appreciate Zhang Yu's terrifying power unless you truly fight him..."

Just then, with Song Hailong's return, everyone immediately fell silent.

Song Hailong casually tossed his third-place medal into his bag and then paid no more attention to it.

Song Hailong understood that while third place in the Martial Arts Competition was an honor for others, it was a disgrace for him.

Just then, the phone rang, and a mature male voice came from the other end. "I've watched your match. The two players ranked ahead of you aren't stronger than you."

You lost to someone weaker than yourself.

"Your father is very disappointed in you..."

Upon hearing this, Song Hailong panicked. "Brother, I was careless..."

"Don't make excuses," the other person said coldly. "You know your father hates it when people make excuses for failure."

Song Hailong took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm sorry."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The two-and-a-half-meter-tall little giant, listening to the scolding on the other end of the phone, looked as uneasy and flustered as a primary school student.

A moment later, after hanging up the phone, Song Hailong looked angrily in Zhang Yu's direction.

Now that he's lost, he'll try to win it back in other ways, in ways that are unique to the wealthy.

As Song Hailong strode into the rest area of Songyang High School, his imposing figure immediately loomed over Zhang Yu, casting a shadow over him.

Under the wary gazes of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, Song Hailong coldly asked, "How much?"

"How much would it cost to hire you as a sparring partner?"

As an extremely wealthy person, after being defeated by an opponent, one would naturally spend money to hire that opponent as a sparring partner until one can thoroughly crush the opponent!

If you lose to someone, just pay them to learn all their skills!

Upon hearing Song Hailong's words, Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and they felt that Song Hailong appeared even more imposing.

Zhang Yu coughed and said, "I'm very expensive and very busy. I'll have to check my schedule to see if I have time."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded repeatedly and said, "Come, come! I'm Zhang Yu's agent. You can talk to me about the money!"

"I'm also one of the top four in the Martial Dao competition, and I'm Zhang Yu's sparring coach. I was the one who coached him in his final battle with Le Mulan. Do you want to hire me too?"

After adding Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu as friends, Song Hailong looked at them and said, "You can discuss the specific price with me later."

"But there's one thing..."

Looking at Zhang Yu's thin body, Song Hailong said with dissatisfaction, "You'd better find a way to improve your Physical Strength."

"Because I will only get stronger and faster, I can't wait for you."

"If your stats are too low, I can easily overpower you with sheer strength, then there's no need for a sparring partner."

Watching the other person's departing figure, Zhang Yu knew that what the other person said was true.

Whether it's to earn money as a sparring partner, the Physical Competition two months later, or even his future college entrance exams, he needs to work harder to improve his Physical Strength.

"We need to catch up with Song Hailong Le Mulan."

A moment later, Zhao Tianxing, Qian Shen, and He Dayou also came down from the audience to visit Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing exclaimed excitedly, "You're so cool, Yu Zi! I took a picture of you in the arena, take a look..."

Qian Shen sighed, "The competition is indeed far beyond the curriculum; it's an exam on a completely different level. A perfect score of 100 in Martial Dao combat is no longer enough to fully express your achievements in Martial Dao."

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "Old Lei is treating us to dinner later, are you going? What are your thoughts?"

Zhao Tianxing said, "What should we eat? I'm fine with anything, but boiled chicken would be healthier."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded and wrote on her phone, "Okay, Zhao Tianxing as you please."

He Dayou said calmly, "I don't eat poor people's food. If a restaurant isn't expensive enough, I won't go there."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded and noted, "He Dayou isn't going."

Qian Shen said, "I know a good restaurant; I'll treat you to drinks."

Bai Zhenzhen noted. "Qian Shen is treating."

Inside a restaurant in the city.

As soon as Zhang Yu walked in, he said, "Do you have king crabs? Ten of them, please."

Lei Jun, who was following behind, darkened his face. "Are they trying to bankrupt me?"

Qian Shen chimed in, "This restaurant doesn't serve seafood, and seafood isn't nutritious at all; it's not suitable for high school students."

"This restaurant specializes in authentic pre-cooked meals, without any extra seasoning; you can enjoy the pure, natural flavor of the pre-cooked food."

"The dishes are also very nutritious, with each dish containing more than 10,000 clean calories. I often come here to eat after I started exercising."

Lei Jun nodded secretly. Qian Shen and understanding of the teacher's hard work.

Qian Shen Shenchao asked the shop assistant, "Do you have any pre-made dishes with Demon Beast Meat? Today's customers are all top students from Songyang High School, do you have any dishes with nutritional supplements?"

Lei Jun sighed. Qian Shen was being unreasonable. He wasn't Dao Arts instructor; didn't he know that Martial Dao instructors had limited income?

Instead of letting the students order randomly, Lei Jun said directly, "I only brought 6,000 yuan. Any more and we'll have to wash the dishes together."

A moment later, the group sat together and raised their cups of Beast Protein Milk: "Cheers!"

After all, they are healthy high school students and high school teachers, so of course they should drink healthy and nutritious Beast Protein Milk.

Besides, it would be almost time for school after this meal, so naturally no one would drink anything that would affect their concentration in class.
