Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 40 Commendation Begins

Zhao Le was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Well, I just hope you understand the price of this rejection."

Zhang Xinglie smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Le left, and Zhang Xinglie practiced at night as usual.

After finishing his training, Zhang Xinglie returned to his single dormitory and picked up the second copy of "Zhao Dongjun's Miscellaneous Works Volume 2" that he had copied by hand and read it slowly.

The first handwritten copy of "Miscellaneous Works of Zhao Dongjun" had been torn to pieces by him.

Like a city at night.

Principal Lu called his old friend.

"Old Lu, what you said at the school meeting today, is it true?"

"So what if it's true, so what if it's fake?"

"If you say it in public at the commendation meeting, Xihai Wuda will be in a passive position."

"They can do it, but I can't say it?"

"Always been this way."

"Old Yu, thank you for speaking up for Zhou Leng at Xihai Wuda, but there are some things that are stuck in my throat that I can't get out of my mouth until I get them out."

"But if you really want to tell it, Xihai Wuda and the Education Bureau will not pretend not to know."

"It doesn't matter. If I can't protect my students once, and I still can't protect them twice, I don't deserve to be the principal anymore."

"You're still upset about Ma..."

"You go ahead and do your work. I still have to prepare for tomorrow's commendation meeting."

"It's very immature of you to do this."

"I was just too mature in the past."

"You……"

That evening, more than a dozen calls came in.

Principal Lu responded calmly.

Early Saturday morning.

Zhou Leng stood at the intersection, looking at Ruge Mountain in the distance.

Zhou Leng shook his neck slightly. After a whole week of military training, his body was almost falling apart.

The instructors are becoming more beastly every day.

Fortunately, I often get first or second place, eat a lot of tonic pills and meat medicine, and sleep under the giant frost tree. Not only is my body not depleted, but it is getting stronger day by day.

The true Qi was finally promoted to the tenth level of great perfection, and it was only one step away from perfection.

Today, Saturday, is the day of the commendation meeting of No. 8 Middle School. Zhou Leng and Xu Qingjin made an appointment to go together in the morning.

Seeing that Xu Qingjin had not arrived yet, Zhou Leng looked around, walked into the nearest community, and walked under the horizontal bar.

Zhou Leng grabbed the horizontal bar with his right hand and started doing one-arm pull-ups.

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

"...62!"

Zhou Leng landed, let out a long breath, and walked out of the community.

Last time, I did 51.

Half a year ago, Zhang Xinglie did 54 of them.

Zhou Leng looked down at his arms. His muscles were bulging and his skin was glowing.

Zhou Leng walked out of the intersection and found Xu Qingjin in a white dress, looking around.

The two looked at each other, Xu Qingjin smiled slightly and nodded gently.

"Why are you in this neighborhood?"

"Try the one-arm pull-up." Zhou Leng said.

"how many?"

"61."

"Wow, that's amazing! If I take the entrance exam now, I will probably get more than 98 points in weightlifting, or even a perfect score of 100."

"I feel like there's a chance, let's go."

The boys and girls walked shoulder to shoulder towards No. 8 Middle School.

At Ruge District People’s Hospital, five people walked out of the gate in a wheelchair and headed towards No. 8 Middle School.

Tao Bing with blue hair sat in a wheelchair with a gloomy look.

Tu Rong, who was wearing a leather jacket, pushed the wheelchair and said, "That guy named Zhou Leng is really a troublemaker. Not only did he hurt you, but he also made Jiang Yan suffer a lot. I told Jiang Yan about your situation yesterday, and Jiang Yan said that if he didn't have to work overtime today, he would be willing to come and help."

Tao Bing said: "He is so focused on making progress that he doesn't care about my life or death."

"Hey, we've been friends for many years, it's not necessary. He's been in a pretty bad situation recently. He originally wanted to teach that disobedient guy in the workshop a lesson... um, the guy named Hu Yi, but Hu Yi went crazy for some reason and scolded Jiang Yan in public and just quit his job." Tu Rong shook his head.

"So miserable?"

"It was nothing, but then their manager took advantage of the situation and not only scolded him again, but also docked his salary and told him he wouldn't be promoted to team leader for a year. I wanted to talk to their manager, but when I investigated, guess who he was?"

"How would I know where to go?" Tao Bing said.

"He is Tian Wenhu's cousin, his name is Tian Wenbao."

"Is Tian Wenhu the Boss Tian?"

"Of course it's him."

"Then he is considered your eldest brother's brother. I remember that Tian Wenhu was the leader of the Five Tigers of Shuizhou back then, and your boss Yan Fenggang was the fifth of the Five Tigers of Shuizhou."

"Yeah. So I didn't say a word, and then Jiang Yan got upset. The fact that he didn't come this time was more or less related to this matter."

"Oh, then he is really unlucky. This matter is difficult to handle. After all, Manager Tian is closer to the Shuizhou Five Tigers than we are."

Tu Rong said, "Tsk, the Five Tigers of Shuizhou... My boss gets drunk and often brags about the deeds of the Five Tigers of Shuizhou, such as serving as soldiers in Shuizhou City and fighting against demons. Later, their friendly forces failed, so they retreated to Rucheng. Then they were framed and founded a development branch. As a result, they became very successful in Ruge District by relying on their unity and ruthlessness."

"The Five Tigers of Shuizhou were indeed notorious back then. Didn't we all grow up hearing about their names?"

"Yes, other districts may not know, but everyone in Ruge District is afraid of the Five Tigers of Shuizhou."

"How many of the five bosses are left now?"

"There are two left. One has retired from the underworld. The other two, well, are both pretty miserable. I won't mention them."

"I wonder if we can be as successful as the Five Tigers of Shuizhou."

Tu Rong said: "That's a nice thought. I've already made an agreement with you. We can't do it near No. 8 Middle School this time. Let's follow him first and wait until he's far away from No. 8 Middle School before we do it."

"Okay. After all, it will be troublesome to hold a commendation meeting at No. 8 Middle School with too many people," said Tao Bing.

"You know Zhou Leng's whereabouts, right? Don't miss it."

"That's definitely true. Chang Shao and I asked several people from No. 8 Middle School, and they all said that many of the seniors in this year's class will go. Zhou Leng will go, and Rao Mingxian said the same thing."

"Rao Mingxian?"

"His grandfather is the principal of No. 59 Middle School."

"Oh, I remember now. I have an impression of it. My eldest brother seemed to have mentioned that his family is not just a school principal. He has an uncle who has connections in Beijing."

"Does it really matter in Xiongcheng?"

"There's no need to speak carelessly, Boss." "Then I have to build a good relationship with him from now on."

Tu Rong flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, shook his leather jacket, and said, "Why didn't your Chang Shao come?"

Tao Bing snorted and said, "Zhou Lengquanjiu, his father won't let him move. These rich people value their lives more than anyone else. When it comes to the ability to adapt to the situation, those of us who come from poor places can never compare to them."

"But he treated you well. He gave you enough money and even gave you Qi-nourishing pills and tonic pills."

"I exchanged my broken leg for it. Even with his medicine, I still need to take care of it for a month. It will be difficult for the martial arts school to compete for ranking resources in the future."

"He will need people after all. Follow him closely, and you will never lack for elixirs in the future."

Tao Bing nodded and said, "I didn't handle things properly last time and I got hurt, so I really can't blame anyone. If I don't make Zhou Leng stay in the hospital for three months this time, I'm not Tao Bing."

"go!"

Everyone walked slowly towards No. 8 Middle School while laughing.

The morning breeze blew across the large playground of No. 8 Middle School, and colorful flags fluttered.

There were clusters of flowers in front of the podium and the large playground was packed with seats so dense that it stretched as far as the eye could see.

As time passed, many alumni of No. 8 Middle School came in.

Students from three grades also entered one after another.

Zhou Leng and Xu Qingjin joined the gathering place of the old third class according to the chat records of the third class group.

"Zhou Leng!"

"Xu Qingjin!"

The students from Class 3 who had arrived earlier greeted us one after another.

Although they hadn't seen each other for just over a month, the classmates chatted excitedly as if they were meeting again after a long separation.

Zhou Jing stood quietly.

"Zhou Leng, you're so awesome! Wow, look at all your muscular body. Wow, I haven't seen you for a month, and you're bigger than me." Hu Yi walked over and stared at Zhou Leng.

The students all looked at Zhou Leng.

Everyone already knew Zhou Leng's ranking on the freshman list, and had congratulated him in the group before.

Among the old classmates in Class 219, martial arts committee member Mo Hai is still ranked first and th on the Rucheng freshman list.

Zhou Leng is ranked 503rd, just behind Mo Hai.

Mo Hai said with emotion: "We all knew that you would soar to the sky in the future, but we didn't expect it to be so fierce. Next month, you will definitely surpass me."

Zhou Leng said: "Don't say that, I'm still far from being strong enough."

The monitor chimed in, "I talked to Teacher Mei a few days ago, and she also said that it's really hard to predict what will happen in life."

"I believe more and more what Teacher Sun said. Zhou Leng turned a disaster into a blessing and developed a powerful talent."

"Zhou Leng, you have to keep working hard and see how high you can rank in the end!"

"Wasn't Xihai Wuda wanted you? Then let them see!"

Mo Hai was at Xihai Wuda University, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "Today's commendation meeting is over, how about having a meal together? It's a good opportunity to talk about college and future life."

"I think it's okay." Feng Wenhao said.

Hu Yi, who is usually active, said nothing.

"Okay, Military Commissioner, you make the arrangements."

"Okay, then I'll post a chain in the group, and whoever wants to join please write down. I'll find a restaurant owned by an uncle I know who can give you half price."

"I've been there before on Mo Hai's birthday. It was pretty good."

Changing the topic, everyone started chatting about all sorts of things.

Zhou Leng looked at the class group and found that many people had participated, but Hu Yi was not there.

Zhou Leng looked at Hu Yi, who was wearing a blue shirt, with doubt. He found that he looked a little bad, so he asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going?"

Hu Yi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I don't want to go."

Feng Wenhao grabbed Hu Yi's shoulders and said, "You kept looking for me and Zhou Leng a while ago, but now that we are here, why are you backing out?"

Hu Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "I've been a little busy lately."

"What are you busy with?" Feng Wenhao asked.

Zhou Leng saw that Hu Yi looked strange, and said, "Maybe Hu Yi has something to do. If he doesn't want to go, then don't go. It doesn't matter."

Feng Wenhao glanced at the other students and said, "If you don't go, I won't go either. It's boring."

"No, leave me alone. How about you guys get together today, and the three of us get together tomorrow."

Feng Wenhao said, "How about this, the three of us will gather together first. When it's almost time, the three of us will leave and go eat skewers together, how about that?"

Zhou looked at Hu Yi coldly.

Hu Yi saw that both brothers were looking at him and nodded slightly.

"it is good!"

When Zhou Leng was about to fill in the chain, Xu Qingjin sent him a message.

"You're not going?"

"Yes, but Hu Yi, Feng Wenhao and I may leave early."

"Then you can call me then. I also want to go home early."

"Okay, remind me when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll forget." Zhou Leng said.

"no problem."

Soon, everyone took their seats.

Zhou Leng received a message from Teacher Mei, left his classmates, and walked to the left side of the podium.

"Zhou Leng?"

A familiar voice rang out among the crowd.

Zhou Leng turned his head and saw that it was instructor Deng Zhijue.

"Hello, instructor. Are you also an alumnus of No. 8 Middle School?" Zhou Leng asked.

Deng Zhijue smiled and nodded, his face kind, not like that devil coach at all.

He asked, "Are you going to receive the Progress Award today?"

"Correct."

"Go ahead, let them see the style of our Ruda Martial Arts School." Deng Zhijue smiled and patted Zhou Leng's shoulder.

"Goodbye, instructor." Zhou Leng turned and left.

Deng Zhijue looked at the podium and thought to himself, when the commendation meeting started, he would know why the owner asked him to come. He couldn't miss the opportunity to get extra advice from Wang Boxiong.

Outside the iron railings of the playground of No. 8 Middle School, some passers-by were looking inside.

Tao Bing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the crowds of people on the playground and muttered to himself, "Did they invite half of the people in Ruge District?"

Tu Rong blew out a smoke ring and looked at the podium covered with flowers and red carpet in front of him with a deep gaze.

The two fingers holding the cigarette shook gently.
