"Okay, I agree." Qi Caining firmly and excitedly agreed to their proposal.

Jiang Zhicheng laughed loudly and said, "Then you are our third sister. Finally I am not the youngest."

He Meng looked at Jiang Zhicheng and said, "So is this why you don't find people who are older than you but have decent talents?"

Jiang Zhicheng was choked up by He Meng's smile, and said with a bitter smile, "How is that possible, boss, you can't say that. Look, if this is really the case, why would I let you be my boss in the first place."

He Meng looked at Qi Caining with a smile and said, "Next, Martial Arts Hall will leave it to you two. Zhizhi will recommend you when the time comes, and so will I. When the time comes, Martial Arts Hall will allocate part of its resources to you, so make good use of it."

Qi Caining nodded heavily. As the saying goes, a man will die for his confidant. She was very satisfied that these two newly sworn brothers could treat her so well.

Jiang Zhicheng At this moment, he suddenly looked at the message that his watch had just received, and his face became solemn.

"What's wrong? What else has been sent to your home?" He Meng also looked at Jiang Zhicheng seriously at this time.

Jiang Zhicheng said helplessly, "My little nephew has just been recognized as having the qualifications of Star Level, just like me at the beginning, so my resources will be reduced to lay the foundation for my little nephew."

He Meng shook his head and said, "Isn't that a good thing? One more Star Level seed means that your family will rise faster in the future. Although it seems that the resources are evenly shared now, in the future, there will be more resources that can be fed back. Moreover, your little nephew is also with us Heyang Martial Arts Hall."

Jiang Zhicheng nodded and said, "It's not because of this. The resources in the apprenticeship stage are actually not in short supply at our current level. It's just that my teachers have changed the teaching time for me from once a week to once a month. In the future, my family intends for me to quickly break through to Planetary Level to prepare for Dojo Genius Battle."

Qi Caining asked somewhat unconfidently, "Then... Second brother, will you leave Martial Arts Hall soon?"

Jiang Zhicheng saw her worried look and said, "Don't worry, it won't be that fast. It will probably take more than three months to break through the ninth level. I will help you up before that time. Your mentality also needs to be adjusted as soon as possible."

He Meng clasped his right index finger on the table and said, "In this way, as a graduate, I will go back to the Martial Arts Hall tomorrow to give a lesson to those boys. However, Zhizheng, you must cooperate with me when the time comes."

The next day, He Meng came to the Martial Arts Hall. After saying hello to his former instructor, he went to the classroom where he had previously attended class.

There are nearly a thousand people in one classroom. Among these nearly a thousand people, not one has reached Apprentice Level 9. But in fact, those who have reached Apprentice Level 9 will generally apply to participate in trials or apply for graduation. They rarely stay in the Martial Arts Hall anymore, but the number is not large. Among these nearly a thousand people, there are He Meng and two other ninth-level students who are 23 and about to be 24 years old.

There are still some people who have reached Apprentice Level 8, about thirty or forty people, among whom there are only single digits who hope to reach the ninth level before graduation.

There are about 200 people in the remaining seventh level, and most of the rest are in the fifth to sixth level.

"Now, I would like to invite our classmate He Meng, who graduated early this year, to speak to you. Everyone is welcome."

After a round of applause, the teacher invited He Meng, who was sitting aside, to the podium.

He Meng pressed his hands down, and the whole classroom became quiet.

"Yesterday, I applied to graduate in advance because I have basically learned everything I can learn in the Martial Arts Hall."

"Today, I finally stand on this podium as a graduate."

"Looking at you, looking at this Martial Arts Hall that has grown stronger through the continuous struggle of generations of our students, I have some concerns after I leave."

"I would like to ask, of all of you present, how many of you still have the enthusiasm of the past, the enthusiasm of the past, and the confidence to chase the six speakers."

"I want to ask everyone here, how many of you have worked hard, struggled, fought hard, and shown your talents as much as possible."

"I would like to ask everyone here, how many of you have thought about the future, what you will look like in the future, and how we Blue Star Lineage should rise in the universe."

"Today, I come here as a graduate, just to tell you that I, He Meng, will continue to chase this peak, continue to fight, and become one of the people who will lead our Blue Star Lineage to continue to rise."

"Yes, my passion and confidence are still there, and I am still chasing my goals. So, what about you?"

"When I didn't go to the trial, your strength was like this. When I came back from the trial and applied for graduation, your strength was still the same. Where has your progress been?"

"I can also tell you some news."

After He Meng finished saying this, he looked at Jiang Zhicheng sitting in the front row. Seeing Jiang Zhicheng gently nodding to himself, he continued, "You also know, we In the Martial Arts Hall, apart from me, there is another pillar. With him, our Martial Arts Hall's performance in Tour Tournament and Ranking Tournament will not be bad, but what if this pillar is no longer there?"

After saying this, there was an uproar in the venue, and the teachers sitting aside were a little helpless. They had known the news early on, but according to their ideas, it was revealed gradually, not so quickly. Even when He Meng proposed it, they tried to dissuade it, but to no avail. In the end, they were persuaded by He Meng and Jiang Zhicheng.

"Jiang Zhicheng told me before that he is about to break through to the ninth level. At that time, he will soon leave Martial Arts Hall and go to participate in the trial. At that time, who will support us Martial Arts Hall?"

"The two of us discussed it and found that there is no better candidate. At least not among the people we know well."

"So, are we just going to watch our Heyang Martial Arts Hall drop from the top five or even the top three in the entire East Asia region to below the tenth place?"

"So, the two of us proposed a plan to the Martial Arts Hall, a support plan."

"Next, Jiang Zhicheng will fight you one by one to test your strength and potential. Finally, the target of the final assistance plan will be decided based on the time it takes to withstand the attack of Jiang Zhicheng, who has suppressed the strength to the same level as you."

"So, you must seize this opportunity and show us all your strength. Don't let us look down on you."

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

After finishing speaking, He Meng left gracefully in the eyes of everyone with admiration and indignation, without any pause at all.
