52: Chapter 52 Independent Martial Arts Room

There was no intentional intimidation, nor exaggerated self-praise.

But the five words 'Advanced Super Martial Artist' carried an undeniable power once spoken.

That was the most top-tier figure in the entire Qingshi County, apart from the two Flying Star Rank powerhouses!

He paused, his gaze slowly sweeping over those below:

"First, let's talk about the resources and benefits you'll receive from now on."

Fang Chengwu's voice remained calm, but the content he spoke of once again excited the previously quiet young men and women below.

"First, cultural classes from Monday to Friday remain unchanged, but for the martial dao class in the afternoon, I will personally instruct and guide your skill Cultivation."

He paused, then dropped a bombshell:

"Second, every two days, each person will receive a free level 1 qi and blood potion. Those with weak foundations should quickly strengthen their Physical Body; those at a Bottleneck should use it to break through their current stage."

Buzz—!

This sentence instantly ignited the classroom!

"Free? One bottle every two days?!"

"Holy crap! The school is being so generous?!"

One must know that even someone like Huang Hao, whose Physical Body Rank exceeded 9.0, only used one level 1 qi and blood potion every two days; 15 bottles a month were enough.

And now, the school was directly providing one free bottle every two days, which was equivalent to covering everyone's qi and blood potion needs from now on.

Huge surprise impacted everyone's nerves.

Even those with good family backgrounds like Huang Hao and Zhao Feng had their eyes light up.

For Li Wen, the significance was even greater. It was also an important reason for him to join the Flying Star Class.

He, who had been quietly and intently reading, unconsciously loosened his grip, and the thick book 'advanced grammar of galactic common language' fell directly onto the desk with a clear thud.

The sound wasn't too loud in the somewhat noisy classroom, but Fang Chengwu's keen gaze on the podium immediately swept over.

It landed on Li Wen and the book on his desk, and a hint of understanding seemed to flash in his eyes, then he returned to his usual gentle yet scrutinizing demeanor.

Li Wen also realized his lapse, quickly picked up the book and put it away, sitting up straight, but the fervor in his eyes could not be hidden.

Free qi and blood potion! This was a godsend for his meticulously planned Cultivation method!

This meant he could more recklessly exploit his Physical Body's potential and improve faster.

Fang Chengwu didn't comment on this small interruption, shifting his gaze and continuing, "Third, an additional reward for the top three students in the selection — Huang Hao, Li Wen, and Zhao Feng."

He looked at the three of them: "Each of you will receive access to a Private Martial Dao Cultivation Room. The keys will be distributed to you shortly."

Private Martial Dao Cultivation Room!

All the students cast envious glances. This not only represented a quiet, undisturbed environment but also a symbol of status and potential.

In Li Wen's mind, however, the information about 'Supporting virtual warehouse' (Supporting virtual warehouse) flashed instantly.

Fang Chengwu indeed added: "Each private Cultivation room is equipped with a school-specific virtual pod, connected to the educational private network."

He specifically looked at Li Wen, as if knowing what he cared about most,

"Your virtual pod permissions are higher; you can use it once a day for half an hour. Besides basic auxiliary Cultivation modes, you also have permission to access specific... combat simulation environments. The virtual opponents' strength can be adjusted over a wider range, making it closer to the actual combat assessment environment."

Li Wen's eyes lit up again.

The school's virtual pod, connected to the educational private network, especially the internal private network that could access the skill assessment combat simulation world.

This was completely different from the household models bought by others that could only access the public entertainment version of the virtual world.

This meant he could fight with all his might in the virtual world once every day, facing virtual opponents of various set strengths, without worrying about injuries or consumption in reality.

This would be a super accelerator for him to hone his combat skills, deduce his Blade Technique, and break through to higher Realms. Its value was far beyond one or two qi and blood potions.

Seeing the fervent glow in Li Wen's eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Fang Chengwu's eyes, and he continued, "Alright, we've talked about the benefits. Now let's talk about the requirements."

The atmosphere instantly grew more serious.

"I saw yesterday's results." Fang Chengwu pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflecting a wise glint.

"Everyone worked hard on the martial dao assessment, which is good. But the cultural class results..."

He gently shook his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone except Li Wen, his tone rarely carrying a hint of severity, "A complete mess! It can only be described as unbearable!"

"Except for Li Wen, whose overall cultural class score can be considered excellent, everyone else's cultural class scores would only be average in a regular class, and some are even below average!"

Fang Chengwu's voice deepened a few points, "Is this your goal? Do you think martial arts universities only care about you fighting? Dream on!"

"Even if the cultural class proportion in the martial arts college entrance exam is low, it's still crucial! If it drags you down, no matter how much stronger your skills are, you won't make up for it!" He tapped the blackboard,

"Therefore, starting this week, on Saturday and Sunday mornings, there will be extra cultural classes here for reinforcement! Everyone, except Li Wen, must attend. I will personally set the questions for the weekend quizzes!"

Whoosh—

This news was even more startling than the qi and blood potions just now.

The third year of high school was already very stressful. They finally got into the Flying Star Class, but now they had to be held back for exams and extra classes on weekends?

Except for Li Wen?!

Everyone instantly groaned in despair, their gazes uniformly focused on Li Wen, filled with envy and jealousy.

"Why doesn't Li Wen have to attend weekend tutoring?" someone muttered softly.

"His cultural scores are already good; he was first in the cultural part of the selection exam," someone next to him responded sourly.

Listening to everyone's laments and envy towards Li Wen, Fang Chengwu looked at Li Wen again.

To everyone's surprise, when Li Wen heard the words "weekend quiz," his eyes lit up again.

It wasn't out of sympathy for his classmates, nor relief, but like a miser discovering a Treasure Trove. As if the word 'exam' held a special magic.

He unconsciously licked his lips, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

What did this mean? It meant... an excellent opportunity to grind experience! Much more efficient than reading books normally! The dawn of Scholar Rank advancement was in sight!

Li Wen's abnormal, almost excited reaction, once again stunned everyone, including Fang Chengwu.

Did this young man have some misunderstanding or unique fondness for exams...?

Fang Chengwu's mouth twitched again, his eyes becoming even more amused. He cleared his throat, suppressing the buzzing in the classroom, and dropped the last bombshell:

"Everyone, perk up! One last thing to announce."

Fang Chengwu's expression became serious,

"On March 20th, the first unified mock martial arts college entrance exam for all third-year high school students in the province, referred to as the 'Provincial First Mock Exam'! This is our first chance to test your strength and standing at a provincial level! Its importance needs no further explanation from me! Give it your all!"

Provincial First Mock Exam!

Immense pressure instantly enveloped all members of the Flying Star Class.

The excitement of just entering the Flying Star Class was significantly diluted, replaced by an unprecedented sense of urgency.

How many Geniuses were there in the entire province? Qingshi County was just one small corner. The real competition had just begun.

Li Wen also took a deep breath, putting away his fantasies about the allure of exams, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.

Provincial First Mock Exam, scholar experience, qi and blood potion, private Cultivation room, virtual combat...

Everything was accelerating in the direction he desired.

He reopened 'advanced grammar of galactic common language' on his desk, his gaze sweeping across the pages.

[You studied Galactic Common Language for ten minutes, scholar experience +1]

The gears of becoming stronger began to turn at high speed.
