What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?
#29 - Practical exam
Inside the massive training field, the students participating in the exam stood in orderly rows, looking up at the proctor in front.
This middle-aged strongman with a scar on his face and a body full of murderous aura was none other than Lei Jun, Zhang Yu's martial arts teacher.
If the five major subjects of high school immortal cultivation – Dao Heart, Mana, and Physical Education – were about laying the foundation, then Martial Arts and Dao Techniques were mainly about the specific application of immortal cultivation techniques.
As for which was stronger or more useful between martial arts and Dao techniques… cultivators each had their own understanding.
And Zhang Yu still remembered the outrageous statement that this martial arts teacher, Lei Jun, had made during the first class.
“Martial arts are very useful in this world; Dao techniques are useless.”
“Practicing a Dao technique will impoverish you; the more you practice, the poorer you become. In the end, everyone's money is earned by companies, and you all become paupers.”
“But martial arts cost less and are cheaper, yet they are also very useful. So, only by practicing cheap martial arts can you become rich and prosperous; the more you practice, the wealthier you become.”
This was Lei Jun's martial arts philosophy.
And as today's proctor, Lei Jun also didn't use any Dao technique power.
His arrangement for the monthly exam was always to have students whose monthly exam scores from the previous month were close to each other draw lots for one-on-one combat.
The two sides would fight three rounds, with each round lasting 3 minutes. If someone was knocked down or went out of bounds within 3 minutes, that round would end.
After all three rounds were over, the teacher would score based on the performance of both sides in these three rounds.
This was actually very similar to the martial arts practical exam in the college entrance examination, except that during the college entrance examination, students fought against Yellow Turban Warriors, and students didn't fight against each other.
But after all, this was just a monthly exam, and it was impossible to really adopt the college entrance examination standards, especially since not hiring Yellow Turban Warriors could save the school some money.
So, after Lei Jun finished explaining the rules of the martial arts practical exam, the big screen above flickered for a while, and the drawing of lots began with the appearance of names.
And as the drawing of lots ended, the results were also sent to each student's mobile phone, requiring them to go to the designated location to start the practical exam.
At this moment, the entire training field was divided into small squares of more than ten square meters with white lines, and each small square was equal to a ring.
According to the lottery results, Zhang Yu walked into square number 12 and saw He Dayou already waiting there.
Seeing He Dayou politely nod and smile at him, Zhang Yu also nodded back.
“Finally here.” He Dayou suppressed the violent emotions in his heart and slowly walked towards the square.
In order to be able to teach Zhang Yu a lesson in a justified manner, He Dayou slightly used his privilege as the son of a school board member to draw Zhang Yu, who was ranked 10th in the monthly exam last month, as his opponent, who was ranked 3rd in the monthly exam last month.
Of course, according to the lottery rules, the two could barely be considered close in total score in the last monthly exam, so no one would question it too much.
“But in the past month, apart from the Mana class, the progress of his other courses has long been unable to keep up, right? His real ranking should be around 20th to 30th place.”
And He Dayou believed that he not only maintained his top three total score, but also improved his Freehand Combat to level 2 half a month ago, and recently learned a new martial art in a tutoring class.
“But there's no need to use the new martial art; level 2 Freehand Combat is enough to deal with this pauper.”
“The question now is… injure his hand? Or injure his leg?”
While thinking, He Dayou had already walked to the center of the square with Zhang Yu, standing still with more than a meter of distance between them.
He Dayou's gaze also began to wander over Zhang Yu's body, considering how to strike the opponent painfully later.
Outside the square, an assistant teacher took out his mobile phone and started video recording.
After the exam, Lei Jun and the other martial arts teachers in the first year of high school would watch all the practical videos in turn and score them.
“Are you two ready?”
Hearing the assistant teacher's question, Zhang Yu and He Dayou nodded together.
“Then, Zhang Yu and He Dayou from the Demonstration Class, the first practical fight between the two…”
“3, 2, 1, start!”
As soon as the assistant teacher gave the order, He Dayou suddenly attacked, his right arm turning into an indiscernible afterimage at this moment, chopping towards Zhang Yu's neck with a palm.
At the same time, he had already thought about Zhang Yu's possible counterattack movements.
After all, as a rich second generation, he had enough time and money to hire people for practical training every day.
He had already experienced, trained, and cracked the various reactions that his opponent might make after this palm.
This was the effect of practical experience.
Level 2 Freehand Combat, coupled with richer practical experience, gave He Dayou absolute confidence to defeat his opponent.
“Then… let's hit the hand.”
The mana in He Dayou's body surged wildly towards the palm of his hand…
Bang!
A loud noise came from He Dayou's abdomen.
Then he felt the crazy shaking of his perspective, the hard ground, and the pain all over his body.
It took a full few seconds before He Dayou gradually reacted.
He was knocked away by Zhang Yu in one move and fell to the ground.
“I was instantly killed?”
He Dayou's face suddenly turned red: “How is that possible?”
Seeing He Dayou's excited appearance, the assistant teacher directly played the battle scene he had just recorded in front of him and Zhang Yu to avoid trouble.
In the video, He Dayou had just slapped out with his palm, but Zhang Yu took the lead, and while dodging the palm, his whole body slammed into He Dayou's body, throwing him out of bounds.
The whole process took less than a second, and it looked like He Dayou deliberately cooperated with Zhang Yu to be thrown out.
Seeing this scene, He Dayou became even more resentful. He obviously hadn't used his full strength, he obviously still had new martial arts he hadn't used, and he just neglected it…
“I underestimated this Zhang Yu too much. I was distracted thinking about things while fighting him…”
Thinking of this, He Dayou felt even more unwilling.
But he knew that no matter whether he was careless or negligent, any extra explanation at this moment would only make him lose face even more.
So he took a deep breath and nodded to Zhang Yu: “Good fight, let's continue.”
The assistant teacher next to him asked if there was any problem with He Dayou's physical condition. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked the two to walk into the square again.
The two stood facing each other again, one meter apart.
Zhang Yu smiled and looked at He Dayou in front of him, secretly saying in his heart: “My practical score this time should be very high.”
The effect of level 3 Freehand Combat was better than he expected.
Although Zhang Yu estimated that his practical experience should not be as good as He Dayou's, the rich second generation.
But level 3 Freehand Combat made him too familiar with the 15 moves of Freehand Combat.
In the previous battle, almost the moment He Dayou made a move, Zhang Yu already knew what the other party was going to do and where the flaws in the move would appear.
And when the idea just popped into his mind, his body had already moved, rushing forward, mana running through his arms, and throwing the opponent out.
“In the case of a Freehand Combat internal battle in the first year of high school, as long as the opponent's Freehand Combat level is lower than level 3, the reaction in battle will probably be a line slower than me.”
“Plus, my physical strength is not low now. In the first year of high school, the internal battle of Freehand Combat in the entire school… I guess I won't lose.”
At the same time, He Dayou on the other side looked solemn at the moment, and there was no longer the ease of the previous scene.
He decided to concentrate all his attention in this second game and defeat Zhang Yu in front of him severely.
This time he would never give the other party a single chance.
“Zhang Yu and He Dayou, the second game.”
“3, 2, 1, start!”
As soon as the assistant teacher finished speaking, He Dayou instantly exploded with all his strength, his right fist running with surging mana, and slammed towards Zhang Yu's face.
Bang!
Another loud noise came.
It was the familiar shaking of the perspective again, the hard and cold ground, and the pain all over his body.
He Dayou got up a little blankly.
He was instantly killed again?
Watch the video recorded by the assistant teacher again.
He saw that in the video, at the same time as he punched, Zhang Yu had already kicked him in the chest, kicking him out.
Because the movement speed of both sides was too fast, it looked as if He Dayou himself used his chest to hit the foot stretched out by Zhang Yu.
The third game begins.
This time, He Dayou did not rush to make a move with all his strength, but instead showed a defensive posture, cautiously observing Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu secretly said in his heart: “After being instantly killed twice in a row, he started to be careful?”
The reason why he was able to instantly kill the opponent just now was because at the moment when the opponent made a move, he predicted the opponent's movements and trajectory with his familiarity with Freehand Combat, and then… took the initiative to meet the opponent's flaws on the path of the opponent's full attack.
It can be said that he used the superposition of the speed of both sides to make He Dayou lose before he could even react.
But once He Dayou became cautious and didn't attack with all his strength as soon as he came up, Zhang Yu couldn't reproduce the two instant kills just now.
But facing this situation, Zhang Yu also had his own tactical preparations.
Whether it was mana or physical strength, Zhang Yu, whose strength had improved by leaps and bounds, was confident that he was not much different from He Dayou, who was third in the grade.
Even from the perspective of physical strength, the other party was also as balanced in development as him, not a large-sized power route.
Since the other party was unwilling to attack actively, then Zhang Yu would take the initiative to attack.
He saw him run his mana and slap He Dayou's chest with a palm.
“Here it comes!” A flash of light flashed in He Dayou's eyes, and he also punched out to block the opponent's move.
Then he saw Zhang Yu slap over again with the same palm.
“The same moves? What's going on?”
After receiving Zhang Yu's three palms in a row, He Dayou only felt a burst of soreness in his arm, and the mana in his body churned continuously.
Zhang Yu's majestic mana and strong physical strength can be said to be beyond his expectations.
And the other party's tactics were very simple, which was to take the initiative to confront him head-on.
Zhang Yu's level 3 Freehand Combat not only made him more familiar with the moves, but the same move could also explode with stronger physical strength and more majestic mana in his hands.
This gave him a great advantage in head-to-head confrontation.
He Dayou also quickly realized this, but he couldn't help but smile.
“Want to confront me head-on?”
“Then let's confront each other and see who is harder.”
He saw him run his newly practiced martial art, Little Celestial Star Palm, and the mana in his dantian instantly turned into a yin and cold palm force, slamming towards Zhang Yu along his palm.
