I can gain insights into martial arts.

Han Zhen led Chen Mochuan back to the office. After resolving the most important matter, he was in the mood to think about other issues.

"Has Li Biao, like you, recently awakened his spiritual talent?"

Unlike the low-key and reserved Chen Mochuan, Li Biao has changed quite a bit recently.

Others might not have noticed anything, but based on Han Zhen's understanding of Li Biao, about half a month ago, in his eyes, this student practically had "I'm taking off" written all over his face.

Han Zhen also noticed Li Biao's sudden increase in appetite recently, and combined with Chen Mochuan's condition, he already had a guess in his mind.

Chen Mochuan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Han Zhen's observation to be so meticulous.

He didn't want to lie to Han Zhen, but he also wouldn't reveal Li Biao's awakening to anyone else without Li Biao's permission, so he could only say, "Teacher, it would be better if you asked him directly about this."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhen understood immediately.

Given the relationship between Chen and Li, they must share information. Since Chen Mochuan did not deny it, Li Biao has most likely awakened his spiritual talent.

As far as he knew, another awakened spiritual talent appeared among the graduating students of No. 1 High School this week, bringing the total to six.

Compared to the previous situation where only two students from No. 8 Middle School had awakened, this situation has now become overwhelmingly dominant.

Although awakening one's spiritual gifts doesn't guarantee a longer path in martial arts cultivation, and many top experts are still unawakened, it's undeniable that those with spiritual gifts surpass most unawakened individuals in the early stages of cultivation.

Besides the overall college entrance rate, the most important thing for high schools is the admission of top universities. The high school stage is precisely the best time for those who are awakening to make their best efforts and widen the gap with others.

Although it's been the norm for No. 8 Middle School to be suppressed by No. 1 Middle School in martial arts, the gap between the two schools this year is just too big.

In the last citywide unified exam, No. 1 Middle School not only outperformed No. 8 Middle School in average scores in martial arts subjects, but also consistently surpassed No. 8 Middle School in the number of students achieving high scores.

The overwhelming number of awakened individuals has created a sense of urgency for the school leaders of No. 8 Middle School. The principal has even held several meetings to discuss countermeasures.

However, spiritual awakening is a very objective and personal matter, and no matter how anxious the school leaders and teachers are, they cannot exert any influence and there is no good way to deal with it.

The only option is to increase the financial aid and rewards for students at Wuhan University starting this month, in order to narrow the overall gap with No. 1 Middle School.

Han Zhen has been unable to get proper rest lately because of this matter, which is one of the reasons why he took the initiative to talk to Chen Mochuan today.

Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. As a result, among the graduating students of the Eighth Middle School's martial arts program, including Chen and Li, the number of awakened individuals has reached four.

A huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

……

In the afternoon, in the principal's office of the Eighth High School.

Principal Wang Binren received a report application submitted after the Academic Affairs Office's initial review, which required his final approval.

Upon seeing the title "Awakening of the Spirit" on the cover, he was overjoyed and quickly opened the document to take a look.

"Huh...it's him?"

Wang Binren had a deep impression of this student named Chen Mochuan.

In his first year of high school, Chen Mochuan went from the bottom of the honors class to the top three in the grade in just two semesters. He was once considered a promising candidate for the martial arts champion and a potential contender for the "Top Six".

As a result, he developed health problems in his second year of high school, and his blood and qi levels began to increase extremely slowly. He gradually became just another ordinary person and fell off his list of key people to watch.

I never expected that I would awaken my spiritual talent.

"Could his abnormal growth in qi and blood have been due to the transformation period of spiritual awakening? But how could a transformation period be this long?"

Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Wang Binren continued to look ahead.

In addition to the results of the spiritual talent test, the application report also included some of Chen Mochuan's personal information and physical data, as well as Han Zhen's very objective evaluation of him.

"My Qi and Blood levels rose from 2.92 to 3.66 in just over half a month..."

Wang Binren was surprised again. He knew that after awakening his spiritual talent, his body would experience a rapid increase in his blood and qi values ​​due to the recent transformation, after which the increase would tend to be at a relatively normal level.

Therefore, the initial stage of awakening cannot be regarded as the normal state of Qi and blood growth. However, Chen Mochuan's increase in Qi and blood was astonishing. At least when Jiang Hao and Su Zhining first awakened their spiritual talents, their increase was not this great.

"His mastery of martial arts techniques has also progressed rapidly... Could it be that he has awakened a profound-level spiritual talent?"

Although the awakening of spiritual talent is extremely difficult, with only one in a thousand being selected, it is divided into four levels based on the strength of the abilities displayed by various spiritual talents: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

Jiang Hao and Su Zhining did not report their specific spiritual abilities to the school, but through long-term observation, Wang Binren could roughly judge that their spiritual abilities were only at the Yellow level.

Chen Mochuan's current talent is clearly superior to these two, so reaching the Xuan level should not be a problem for him.

"In addition to the school's on-campus financial aid resources, I'll also apply for the 'Young Seedling Program' scholarship for him."

Even though he was just the principal of a high school in a county-level city, Wang Binren still had access to resources and information that ordinary teachers could not obtain.

The "Young Talent Program" is a special training program launched by China specifically for high school students to encourage and discover young martial arts talents.

Wang Binren had previously applied for the "Young Seedling Program" scholarship for the top ten students at No. 8 Middle School, but only Jiang Hao, Su Zhining, and two other students passed the lowest level of review, Grade D.

These four students received a substantial scholarship every month during their high school years.

This is only the lowest grade, D. It is said that the first grade, A, in addition to money, also has the opportunity to obtain some martial arts resources that are hard to come by on the market.

Wang Binren logged into the website for applying for the "Seedling Program," uploaded Chen Mochuan's spiritual talent test report, and explained his progress over the past half month. He also included his own assessment that Chen's spiritual talent might have reached the Xuan level.

When making the final submission, Wang Binren looked at the four options: "A, B, C, and D".

"His condition is definitely fine at level D, but his Qi and blood levels are too low; level C would be difficult..."

After a brief hesitation, Wang Binren still chose to apply for the third tier, "Category C".

Although applying for "Category C" might be a little more troublesome, it would simply mean that the review team would call him to inquire about Chen Mochuan's specific situation, and then conduct another round of review.

It won't take too much of my energy, I should give it a try, maybe I'll actually get the award?

After submitting the application, Wang Binren was in a good mood when he suddenly remembered that he still had a "Dream Iris" seed in his drawer.

This flower is extremely beautiful when it blooms, but it has very demanding requirements for its growing environment, such as soil, light, and humidity, making it difficult to cultivate.

Wang Binren, an expert in flower cultivation, has tried to cultivate this flower many times in the past two years, but all attempts have failed. He currently only has this one seed left.

Feeling a pang of emotion, he cleared out a flowerpot and planted the last remaining "Dream Iris" seeds into the potting soil.

"I hope it will bloom this time," he murmured, his eyes filled with anticipation, as if hoping that both the seed and Chen Mochuan would grow strong and healthy.
