You promised to practice martial arts, but you have mastered the golden body and Dharma?

Chapter 60 How about comparing with Shen Jie?
  "Mengshi, Secretary Xin and I are going to discuss something with Director Lu. You can take Li Jiu around the school and entertain him."

"okay."

Xie Mengshi smiled and tilted her head: "Classmate Li Jiu, will you come with me?"

Seeing that the teacher also nodded, Li Jiu followed Xie Mengshi into the school gate and strolled on the spacious stone path.

The girl next to her always had a smile on her face, and her voice was as casual as burning cotton: "I heard my dad mention you two months ago. I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would already be the most talented student in No. 9 Middle School. Yes, it’s amazing.”

Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Two months ago?"

"Hmm, didn't you just become Director Lu's student at that time? My dad was a little surprised as to why Director Lu would recruit new students in the third year of high school." Xie Mengshi lowered her head and narrowed her eyes to meet Li Jiu's gaze: "I I’m also curious, I heard that it only took you less than half a year from learning the body-building boxing to defeating Zhao Li, is that true?”

"With such rapid progress, you are much better than me."

Listening to these words, Li Jiu's heart felt as happy as water, but his thoughts did not sway with the warm wind.

Last night, he visited the campus forum of No. 1 Middle School and got a rough understanding of some superficial information.

Among them, Xie Mengshi attracted the most attention. She was the only daughter of the principal, Xie Dongshan, and had the highest martial arts talent in the school. She had a high reputation in No. 1 Middle School.

When she entered the energy transformation stage, Zhao Li had just realized the dark energy and sword power, and the gap was self-evident.

I absolutely cannot feel proud, because I may not be able to beat her now!
  Thinking of this, Li Jiu said calmly: "It's true, but Teacher Lu gave me a lot of help. Without the teacher, I wouldn't have made such rapid progress."

"That's right, the resources allocated to Ninth Middle School are not many every year. It is said that all of them are concentrated on Zhao Li. Without Director Lu, it will be difficult for talented people to be discovered." Xie Mengshi turned her smart eyes and held her fingers. Behind his back, he curled his lips and smiled slightly: "However, you can defeat Zhao Li with swordsmanship and get on the Xixiang Forum. Your talent must be very high. Is there anyone in the school paying close attention to you now?"

"Oh, thank you for your attention."

Xie Mengshi paused, stared at Li Jiu's silent face, and muttered to himself.

Do all students in No. 9 Middle School chat like this?
  Why do I always feel a lack of interest and lack of enthusiasm?
  "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Look at the Zhiyuan Building, where our first middle school students practice martial arts and rest. It is big enough to accommodate the entire school to practice martial arts together."

"Um"

Following the direction of Xie Mengshi's finger, Li Jiu looked into the distance.

In the distance, neatly arranged teaching buildings are clustered around a huge building, which stands at the end of the road in the center of the campus.

It is much larger than the circular design training hall of No. 9 Middle School, and it seems to remain standing despite the wind and rain.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the Zhiyuan Building. The tempering ceremony on December 1st is also held there."

Li Jiuzheng was paying attention and sighed at the majestic and upright building of No. 1 Middle School. Suddenly, a figure wearing a short-sleeved shirt with red and white letters came to his sight and ran over. He turned around and waved to him: "Come on, there is nothing interesting to see outside. The only interesting thing is in the Zhiyuan Building!"

"Um"

Li Jiu had not felt such surging enthusiasm for a long time. The last woman who was so gentle to him was his mother.

Gee, weird association
  Sighing secretly, he shook away the thoughts that came to his mind and took steps to follow.

Along the way, Xie Mengshi's mouth never rested, her upper lip kissed her lower lip tirelessly, and her breath was passionate.

嗒.
  The glass doors of the Zhiyuan Building opened automatically, and warm air rushed in. The spacious and exquisite hall expanded the line of sight. Several students in the uniforms of No. 1 Middle School came down from the upstairs, arming each other and playing around.

"The first floor is the service hall, and the second to seventh floors are where students practice martial arts. The second floor is for sword practice, the third floor is for stick practice, the fourth floor is for spear practice, and the fifth floor is for sword practice."

"Can you learn so much?" Li Jiu was stunned as he looked at Xie Mengshi, who was counting on his fingers.

"Well, the first graders in high school all learn boxing together, and the second graders in high school each choose a teacher who teaches weapons. There are more than 20 martial arts teachers in No.1 Middle School who are good at different weapons, and six of them are senior teachers."

Li Jiu remained silent and quietly followed Xie Mengshi to the elevator, his stone-like state of mind settling deeper and deeper.

As the only key high school where the Martial Arts Bureau directly participates in teaching, No. 1 Middle School has rich teachers and high-quality students. This teaching model is normal.

Students who can get into this school basically have parents who are warriors and have good talents. There is no need to envy them. They deserve it.
  Tick!
  As soon as the elevator door opened a small crack, a warm noise rushed in and filled the entire elevator room.

"Let me go, Lao Huang, when did you realize the power of the sword? It's too curly. Are you the next Shen Jie?!"

"Fuck you, where am I, competing with Shen Jie?"

"Hey, don't say that, you can make it into the top ten~"

"Why, you still need to learn from me?"

"No, no, no. Huh? Why is Sister Mengshi here!"

Several students who were fighting with wooden swords on the sword practice ground suddenly saw a familiar figure leading a somewhat unfamiliar face, and they couldn't help but startled:
  "It looks familiar. Is it Li Jiu from Ninth Middle School?"

"The one that the Xixiang Forum rated as the dawn of Ninth Middle School? Come on, it's true!"

"This should be the tempering ceremony that is about to take place. Let's get familiar with the environment first?"

"Hey, I'm a little envious. I heard that the conditions in Ninth Middle School are very poor, but he can actually participate in the tempering ceremony."

Xie Mengshi raised her eyebrows, waved her hands, and shouted, "Everyone is busy with their own business, and I want to show Li Jiu around."

After a clear shout, the conversation became sparse. Seeing the two of them walking away, several classmates gathered together to watch: "Looking at each other, he doesn't like to communicate. Do you think he is really as powerful as the Xixiang forum said? , one of the five talented students in Xixiang City."

"Hey, Zhao Li's strength should be in the top six in our No. 1 Middle School. Wasn't he defeated by him? After all, he is definitely better than a few of us."

"That's right. I don't know how he compares to Shen Jie, but he still follows the path of swordsmanship."

"I think Shen Jie is still more powerful. He realized the power of the sword half a year ago. Li Jiu only realized it a few days ago. He probably doesn't have enough experience."

The sound gradually faded away, and Li Jiu sighed secretly, as if cotton was drowning in the sea of ​​salt, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He noticed that among the students who were practicing swordsmanship, there were no distinctions between those who had mastered the sense of the sword and those who had mastered the power of the sword.

In Ninth Middle School, including Zhao Li and himself who have been expelled, there are only three people practicing swordsmanship.
  "We're here, classmate Li Jiu, do you want to come and experience it? This is our No. 1 Middle School's actual combat simulation warehouse. You can choose your opponents for actual combat."

Li Jiu's thoughts were gradually pulled back. A mechanical door made of alloy was located in front of him. Xie Mengshi on the side touched the electronic display on the door with his index finger.

After a few clicks, a ranking list was displayed on the display screen, and the one at the top was——

[001]——[Shen Jie]——[challenge]
  "Try this No. 1 Shen Jie? He is also a candidate to participate in the tempering ceremony. He is no worse than me."

Xie Mengshi tilted her head and looked over with a smile, her interest waning.
