Summer Kingdom, Jiangzhou City's Third Middle School.

"After school, anyone going to the Internet cafe to play League of Legends?" A chubby boy in the back of the room loudly asked, his foot propped up on a chair.

"No."

"No."

"You know, we're in our last semester of Senior year, us of Martial Arts class should be pushing hard; don't we have that hope? After school, many will practice their skills; who will go play this game with you?", the boy sharing a desk with the chubby boy responded.

"What's the point of pushing now that we've slipped into this class? Not like we'd get into Wu University…", the chubby boy mumbled back, his voice gradually fading.

In the rear door, a muscular lad in black, tight-fitting martial arts gear was giving the chubby boy an intense gaze.

Only after the chubby boy awkwardly sat down, did Xu Qing approach the podium.

This session was for self-study, primarily designated for these Senior year martial arts students to boost their academic performance. After all, martial arts students spent most of their daily lessons practicing martial arts, with relatively less time for academic subjects.

However, academic subjects contributed to thirty percent of martial arts students' university entrance exam. To get into Wu University, academic performance mattered.

Especially for the students of class eleven, the worst class of Jiangzhou's third middle school. As their martial arts performance could not rival the elite class, their only option was to bridge the gap by improving their academic performance.

"Students, we still have…" Xu Qing started talking, his face expressionless, in an effort to motivate.

Only very few of the students took interest in this repetitive speech, everyone else burying their heads, their attention seeming elsewhere.

Xu Qing shook his head and didn't say anything further.

For most students in Class 11, getting accepted into a Martial University, even a third-rate one, would be a rather wild dream.

In Jiangzhou No.3 High, in the senior class alone, there are 11 martial art classes divided into Elite Class, Key Class, and General Class. Class 11 belongs to the most average class within the General Class. In a year, at most one or two students might get admitted into Martial University. Most of the time, no one makes it.

For Martial Arts students, if they fail to make it to Martial University, their only option is to join the workforce after high school.

Becoming an official martial art novice is good because they can find reasonable jobs. However, if they don’t become a novice, then they must settle for an ordinary job just like normal people, earning a few thousand yuan a month.

In reality, families of many students in Class 11 have already arranged their future work. There is often no prospect of making it to Martial University.

But for Xu Qing...

He’s a traverser.

Ten days ago, he found himself in the body of a thirty-year-old man of the same name and became the head teacher of Class 11 at Jiangzhou No.3 High. He also became a top-tier second-level martial artist.

It took him a few days to finally accept the memories and information of the original owner completely.

Moreover, he also received an extra ability called the "Return System," which had already bound to him.

According to the introduction, the Return System would randomly trigger and generate extreme bursts of rewards every time he gave another person miraculous pills, scripture of martial arts, God-level weapons, and such. The return could be up to ten thousand times.

However, there was a requirement for the recipient. He or she had to be related to Xu Qing as a family member, friend, or disciple, etc., as recognized by the system. Simply put, strangers on the street didn't count.

In short, trying to game the system was pointless. Unfair play wouldn't work; the system wouldn't acknowledge such acts.

And furthermore, unlike Xu Qing initially thought, there was no "welcome package" when the system bound to him. After making a self-introduction when it first activated, the system had been silent.

Xu Qing hadn't even had the time to experiment with the system's functions yet.

After class, he went straight to the logistics department of Middle School No.3 to collect his salary for this month.

As a top-tier second-rank martial artist, Xu Qing receives a monthly salary of fifteen thousand yuan and three Elixir of Carnis. Elixir of Carnis is a kind of elixir used by second-rank martial artists, and it is very valuable.

His salary is directly deposited into his card, but he had to personally collect the Elixir of Carnis.

"Teacher Chen, can you exchange this month's Elixir of Carnis for Elixir of Qi and Blood?" Xu Qing asked.

"Elixir of Qi and Blood?" Teacher Chen looked a bit surprised.

Elixir of Qi and Blood is the most commonly used elixir for martial artists who aim to rank up, why would Xu Qing, who is already at the peak of the second rank, want it?

"Alright." Without asking any further, Teacher Chen placed the Elixir of Carnis back and handed Xu Qing three bottles of Elixir of Qi and Blood.

There are ten capsules in each bottle, totaling thirty capsules.

After pocketing the Elixir of Qi and Blood, Xu Qing arrived at the school's sports field.

At this time, looking around, there were quite a number of people on the field, all sweating profusely, their panting echo in the air.

Nearly all of them were martial arts students who came to practice after class.

Those in better conditions might have a personal trainer at home for one-on-one guidance, or those slightly less fortunate would go to professional martial arts schools to learn. However, most students in the martial arts class of Middle School No.3 were from common families, who didn't have these conditions, and could only train on the school's sports field.

The most important thing for a martial artist before ranking up is to increase qi and blood. Only when the qi and blood are strong enough to start refining the cuticle can they be considered a qualified entry-level martial artist.

And practicing is the process of stimulating potential and stimulating the growth of qi and blood.

Generally speaking, the qi and blood of a normal adult are around one hundred cards, and to reach the level where the skin can be refined, it must be at least one hundred and twenty cards.

Though it may not seem like much, in reality, it's very difficult to even increase one's Qi and blood limit by one once it reaches over a hundred. This difficulty only increases with age, which explains the scarcity of entry-level martial artists.

In a short time, Xu Qing saw his student.

Chen Yuqing.

The class president of Class Eleven and the student most likely to get into the Martial Arts University, she carried heavy expectations.

Xu Qing slowly approached her.

Chen Yuqing's hair was tied up on her head. She wore a white practice uniform, and her sweat-soaked clothes slightly revealed her still developing body.

She was methodically practicing the basic body refining technique.

This was the most common and effective method for non-entry-level martial artists to train their bodies and stimulate their Qi and blood. It was widely practiced everywhere.

Chen Yuqing, who was practicing hard, suddenly felt a presence beside her. She turned her head and saw Xu Qing, who was smiling gently at her.

"Ah, Teacher Xu... I'm sorry, I didn't see you!" She exclaimed in surprise.

"Not bad, you've been practicing the basic body refining technique quite well, your movements are very standard!" Xu Qing complimented.

"Teacher Xu, you're flattering me..." Chen Yuqing blushed.

"What's your Qi and blood limit?"

"I measured it the day before yesterday, exactly 110," she answered truthfully.

"You still have to work hard, based on the standards of the previous years, if you want to apply to the local Jiangzhou Martial Arts University, you need at least 115 or more." Xu Qing said.

As the only martial arts university in Jiangzhou City, some preferential treatment is offered to local students, requiring slightly lower admission standards.

"Yes, I will do my best!" Chen Yuqing clenched her fist, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Her goal was Jiangzhou Martial Arts University.

Only gaining entrance to the Martial Arts University would change her and her family's life.

Xu Qing took out a bottle of Qi Xue Dan and handed it to her.

"This is for you."

"Mr. Xu, is this...?" Chen Yuqing hesitated for a moment, recognizing that it was Qi Xue Dan.

"It's for you. Take it."

"No way, I can't accept it!" Chen Yuqing decisively rejected it.

This bottle of Qi Xue Dan is worth at least several thousand yuan, a rather expensive item for her family.

Except for a few years ago when her family was financially better off, she hadn't used Qi Xue Dan for many years.

"Take it." Xu Qing forcibly stuffed the Qi Xue Dan into her arms, "This bottle of Qi Xue Dan might not even increase your vitality by a single unit, but remember, if you get enrolled in the martial arts university, it would benefit me too."

For a class like Class 11, almost abandoned, getting someone admitted into the martial arts university is considered a credit to the class director and the school would give a certain reward.

"Thank you..." Chen Yuqing looked at Xu Qing, touched.

She hadn't felt this cared for in a long time.

Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Mr. Xu, I won't let you down!
