Upon hearing this, Principal Yin nodded. He did not consider it a major issue.
"We don't need to care too much about the students' opinions.
What do these children know about who is better suited to participate in the Youth Martial Tournament?
Just follow the planned arrangements. Once Jin Fan wins, immediately take Li Yuan to register for the entry list."
This Youth Martial Tournament qualification had been exchanged by Li Yuan using his academic credits.
Li Yuan needed to personally confirm the registration.
The overall process was Lingnan No.1 High School submitting the recommendation, followed by Li Yuan confirming the use of his credits to exchange for the competition qualification.
"I'm still worried. What if Li Yuan loses the match and still makes trouble, refusing to give up the competition qualification?"
Beside them, another department head spoke with a frown.
His speculation was not impossible.
Cases of people refusing to honor the result after a match were not uncommon.
Principal Yin's expression turned stern. Just thinking of that possibility made him angry.
"If he loses and still dares to make trouble, then don't blame me for using harsh measures.
Not only will First High School expel him, but I, as the principal, will use every bit of influence I have against him!
He can forget about finding a job for the next three to five years!"
Hearing this, the Vice Principal spoke up to urge Principal Yin not to get too angry.
"This matter involves Jin Fan. If Li Yuan dares to stir up trouble like that, the school will not even need to teach him a lesson.
Jin Fan's martial lineage will give Li Yuan a proper lesson."
After the Open Class ended, Li Yuan spent some extra money to buy more nutrient solution.
This Open Class had not only caused him no losses, but had even brought him some benefits.
He had received an A+ in the Open Class evaluation, and next month's salary would come with a decent bonus.
With more money on hand, he could be a little more generous when buying nutrient solution.
Of course, the nutrient solution Li Yuan bought was still D-Grade.
With each higher grade, the price of these nutrient solutions rose far too much.
After returning to the dormitory he rented, Li Yuan transferred a thousand yuan home and called his parents.
He was short on money himself right now, so transferring a thousand yuan was merely a token gesture.
Li Yuan's parents were not martial artists, and their physical condition was not particularly good.
They were nearly sixty, and their health was truly getting worse by the day.
If he saw a call from his parents in the middle of the night, Li Yuan's heart would skip a beat.
He was truly afraid that one of them had fallen seriously ill.
Besides that, there was something else that worried Li Yuan even more.
He was afraid that when their illness could still be treated, he would not be able to come up with enough money.
After chatting for a few moments on the phone, his parents began asking about his love life.
He was thirty and still unmarried, so naturally they would ask.
As they talked, they began trying to set Li Yuan up on blind dates.
Li Yuan did not immediately refuse. He understood their worries very well.
It was just that, at this point in time, he truly had no energy for blind dates.
He told his parents to schedule the blind date three months later.
When the time came, he absolutely would not refuse any blind date they arranged.
After ending the call, Li Yuan felt slightly more at ease.
His parents had not mentioned anything like how healthy they were.
The less they mentioned it, the more reassured Li Yuan felt.
If one day they said over the phone that they were both in good health and that he should not worry—
if such words ever came up, Li Yuan would instead have even more reason to worry.
Once he obtained the Youth Martial Tournament qualification, he should be able to use that opportunity to advance to Fifth Grade.
At Fifth Grade in martial arts, he could apply to become an Intermediate Teacher.
The base salary for an Intermediate Teacher was higher, and the city also offered a subsidy for martial arts talent.
After calculating it, it would be nearly half again as much as his current salary.
Only with that extra money each month could he save up some funds.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt that he should arrange a physical examination for his parents first when the time came.
Neither of them had undergone a checkup in years.
Sometimes, when Li Yuan thought about it, he did not even dare bring it up.
He was afraid that an examination would reveal some problem while he still had no money in hand.
Knowing the illness, yet having no way to treat it...
Li Yuan also understood that he was deceiving himself.
But there was no helping it. Short on money and resources, he could only cover his ears and close his eyes to ease his anxiety somewhat.
After ending the call, Li Yuan continued his cultivation.
Now, every day when he returned home, he was filled with drive.
With ambition and nutrient solution, he had enough energy for cultivation.
Over the past few days, Li Yuan's cultivation had mainly focused on tempering his physique and increasing his physical strength.
He would first raise his current strength to the peak of Fourth Grade.
The basic cultivation method known as the Zhou Tian Dao Yin Technique continuously circulated through his body.
What had originally been a long path of cultivation was several times faster for Li Yuan.
He cultivated until midnight. The Zhou Tian Dao Yin Technique was still circulating within him, tempering his physique, but Li Yuan was ready to rest.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Li Yuan looked at the Light Screen once more.
[Experience Points: 185/300]
He was not far from three hundred experience points.
During the Open Classes over the past two days, he had not yet found time to properly pick up Light Points.
Just following along and attending the Open Classes had already let him pick up quite a few.
More than forty of those points had been picked up during his own Open Class.
He had spent forty minutes explaining the Flickering Shadow Steps, and the results had been very good. Light Points had dropped beside most of the students in that class.
Over the past two days, the learning atmosphere in every first-year class had been exceptionally strong.
Class Nine and Class Fourteen had mastered the Sinking Mountain Fist, and after learning it, they had even gone around showing it off to the other classes.
The students in the five Advanced Classes had their competitive spirit thoroughly stirred.
Even the Parallel Classes had learned it. If the Advanced Classes could not, what kind of Advanced Classes were they?
Yet even with that competitive spirit, it only made them work a little harder.
On the path of martial arts, perseverance and drive alone were not enough.
It was not as though working hard meant one could definitely accomplish something.
Some thick-skinned Advanced Class students began looking for every possible opportunity to ask Li Yuan questions.
When asking questions, they avoided their own teachers to spare them the embarrassment.
Li Yuan was not stingy either. If the students were willing to learn, he was willing to teach.
It was material straight from the textbooks. Li Yuan had always lived up to his identity as a teacher.
The Advanced Class students were actually quite confident, both in themselves and in their teachers.
They had heard many people say that Li Yuan taught well, which was why they had learned the Sinking Mountain Fist this time.
Most Advanced Class students had doubted that.
But after seeking Li Yuan's guidance, they believed it.
The difficulties obstructing them, as well as the tricky points their veteran teachers had told them to comprehend on their own—
Li Yuan clearly pointed them out.
He even pointed out the directions in which they had gone wrong.
As he explained, Li Yuan naturally gained quite a few Light Points and picked up a considerable amount of experience.
With the first-year students studying so diligently lately, Li Yuan felt that he could still pick up a great deal of experience during this period.
It would not be long before he obtained the Third Talent Point.
The match to fight over the Youth Martial Tournament qualification was scheduled for next weekend.
With one week's time, picking up another hundred-odd experience points would not be a problem.
The harder the First High School students studied, the more experience Li Yuan could obtain.
Of course, the students would also gain a great deal from their efforts.
This was a win-win situation!
