43. Why don't you all go together?
In this world, especially for high school students, the results of each monthly exam can generally be regarded as a milestone.
Even if there is no significant improvement in the next monthly exam, the score should at least not be significantly lower than this exam.
Otherwise, students will face criticism from their classmates and gradually be ostracized, creating psychological pressure.
Teachers will also deliberately target this issue, and the severity will increase over time.
However, this kind of thing basically has nothing to do with Bai Hui.
For his grades to drop significantly, the school would have to be a paradise free from the strange tales of long-tongued parrots...
……
With the conclusion of the martial arts competition for the second and third year high school students, the martial arts competition for the first year high school students has officially begun.
The process is basically the same, except that since not all of the first-year high school students have mastered the Mind Control Technique, all three hundred or so students who need to be tested can take the test at once.
Bai Hui followed the main group into the arena. More than 300 people spread out in a gymnastics formation, with a Wu Peng standing in front of each person, like a light flashing and flickering.
It seems that even Wu Peng, who is at the Martial Meridian Realm, has a considerable burden in hosting this martial arts arena... In Bai Hui's opinion, its flashing speed has clearly decreased.
It looks somewhat like there are "frame drops".
Bai Hui could even see a large number of afterimages connected together, each with a different expression, like a comic strip, which was very abstract.
"Classmate, now concentrate your inner energy, unleash your full power, and hit me."
Wu Peng said this in front of Bai Hui.
"oh."
Bai Hui started with a cannon punch, his sinews swirling and his bones roaring as he slammed his fist toward Wu Peng.
Wu Peng's strobe figure raised his hand to catch it, seemingly without moving an inch, but the figure in front of Bai Hui showed obvious surprise on his face.
"Huh? Your mental fortitude is incredible..."
"You're first in the grade, right?" Bai Hui chuckled.
"You're not modest at all..." Wu Peng laughed along.
He didn't think much of it. Although Bai Hui's mental strength was indeed ridiculously high compared to his peers, it was only calculated based on the average teaching level of Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School.
Within the Great Xia territory, there are countless high schools stronger than Yuncheng No. 1 High School. It is even said that a certain high school that implements full military management can enable all freshmen to condense their mental energy on the day of enrollment!
At Yuncheng No. 1 High School, it's already mid-term for the semester, and only about three hundred freshmen have managed to condense their Heart Qi...
Considering Bai Hui's family situation and the rumors surrounding the three dream artifacts, Wu Peng thought it was quite normal for Bai Hui to have this level of skill.
"By the way, Teacher Wu, can I resell those private martial arts tutoring spots?"
"Reselling?" Wu Peng's expression was strange. "You're so blatantly using that word during the exam?"
"Anyway, even if you get angry, the worst you'll do is beat me up, right?" Bai Hui said nonchalantly. "You wouldn't kill me just because I asked that question, would you?"
"You little rascal..." Wu Peng laughed in exasperation, then said, "Selling is possible... but we are a public school after all. The school takes into account the family circumstances of some students and will give them preferential treatment in some aspects. It's just that usually no one would want to sell their private martial arts instruction slots."
After all, generally speaking, students who can get a private martial arts lesson every academic year are basically from wealthy families... the difference in educational resources is too great.
But you, kid, your mental strength alone far surpasses that of your peers. And this week in PE class, the precision of your moves was almost ridiculously accurate...
"If you really want to sell it, I can help you discuss it with the school. Once you're guaranteed to be in the top three of your grade, the school can take the lead in helping you sell it..."
"You can do that?" Bai Hui raised an eyebrow, then smiled and said, "That makes things convenient."
"Yes, that's how it is in public schools."
"What about private schools?"
"How would I know? If I could get into a private school, why would I come to a public school?"
"Too."
Bai Hui nodded slightly.
While he was chatting with Wu Peng, the other students in the same year were still doing their best to catch Wu Peng's fleeting shadows—this time, Wu Peng's test of his students on the martial arts stage was definitely not just about taking a single punch.
Explosive power, endurance, mental energy utilization rate, physical control level... and so on, are all within the scope of the assessment.
However, Bai Hui's mental strength alone already clearly surpassed that of his peers.
In Wu Peng's experience, if his punch had actually landed on a student in the same grade, very few first-year high school students would have been able to withstand it.
However, martial arts training cannot be judged solely by numerical values, as anything can happen during a battle.
Therefore, one punch is enough... Anyway, Wu Peng's task is only to select the top three from each class, and it's not like students who didn't make it into the top three are not allowed to challenge him later.
Bai Hui was chatting idly, while the other students were still racking their brains to show off their talents...
Because they were so engrossed and focused, no one noticed Bai Hui's condition.
Only a few of the senior students who had finished their assessments but hadn't left yet stayed behind with great interest to observe. They noticed the unusual thing about Bai Hui and also took notice of his outstanding good looks.
Some of the female students had a gleam in their eyes.
"By the way, Ms. Wu, how do you manage to communicate normally with everyone while moving at high speed?"
And the sound is so clear... At this speed and in this environment, shouldn't there be an echo?
"You mean this... Haha, actually I didn't say anything. The reason you could 'hear' my voice is because you sensed it."
Wu Peng was generous in providing guidance to this high-achieving and quick-thinking student during the assessment.
He explained, "This is 'bone conduction,' which is an advanced technique of 'muscle and bone resonance'..."
"Bone conduction...?"
Bai Hui was slightly taken aback.
As Wu Peng explained, Bai Hui subconsciously looked down.
When Wu Peng was flashing, his feet were almost impossible to observe... at least Bai Hui's current level of skill couldn't see them clearly.
When it stomps on the ground, the ground will tremble slightly. As long as the rhythm of the tremors is controlled, it can affect nearby targets, allowing them to feel and receive the 'sound'...
This is a very advanced movement technique for Bai Hui at his current level...
[Upon learning the abstract principles of martial arts techniques, sanity points decrease by 1.]
……
After Wu Peng's "open audition" ended, Bai Hui naturally secured a top-three ranking in his class.
There are no specific rankings yet, because there will be more competitions to come.
Although Wu Peng also felt that Bai Hui didn't need to fight with his classmates anymore, there was nothing he could do; that's just how the rules are...
Leaving aside the other classes, the top three in Bai Hui's class were himself, Feng Jue, and... Luo Daiyun.
Bai Hui turned his head and glanced at the two of them.
Feng Jue and Bai Hui were in the same study group in private. Bai Hui was very clear about Feng Jue's progress in martial arts. Because of the existence of the fake person in his family, Feng Jue's mental strength was growing very fast, and he had reached the level of 0.6 in just one week.
Luo Daiyun's is 0.7!
It seems that this beautiful girl, whose looks even surpass those of the pretty girl Li Youye secretly admires, also harbors considerable sorrow...
As Bai Hui was thinking, Feng Jue and the other person also turned their gazes toward Bai Hui.
They said in unison—
"Bai Hui, I challenge you!"
After speaking, Feng Jue and Luo Daiyun exchanged a glance.
They then simultaneously said, "I'll go first!"
Bai Hui scratched his head, looked at Wu Peng, and said, "Teacher Wu, do you think they can all go together?"
Luo Daiyun was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, feeling both ashamed and angry. She waved her cloud-like hand to push Feng Jue aside, then spun around and delivered a fierce whip kick to Bai Hui—
"Hey, don't look down on me!"
