In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Chang frowned.

As a leader in the education department, he was naturally very familiar with the relevant management processes.

This trip to Qijia Town for training is a personal experience for the teachers.

If personal matters cause delays in class time, approval from Lingshan No.1 Middle School is naturally required.

As for Principal Yin, they can easily find a plausible excuse to stall for time.

After a moment's hesitation, Zeng Chang came up with a solution: "How about this, you participate as a group from the municipal education department."

It's just a training exercise, nothing serious will happen.

Keep it low-key and don't tell anyone.

The so-called group identity is actually related to the computer recording system used in Lingshan City.

This recording system had some flaws in its early design.

When ranking groups, only one new identity can be created.

For example, in the annual martial arts friendly competition in Lingshan City, each unit has a virtual character identity.

The municipal education bureau calls it "Wu Ling Education".

This means that the Lingshan City Education Bureau is a fictitious organization.

Similarly, "Wulingshui" belongs to the Water Resources Bureau.

"Wu Lingjiao" is a fictitious identity created by the Transportation Bureau.

Over the years, various cities have been replacing their systems with new ones.

Lingshan City cannot obtain any development policies, so its alternatives are naturally ranked lower.

When Li Yuan went to Qijia Town for training, he used the identity of "Wu Ling Jiao".

As a staff member under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau, there is nothing wrong with Li Yuan using this identity.

After everything was agreed upon, Li Yuan carried a box of nutrient solution out.

I already took the day off today, and it's inconvenient to carry so many nutrient solutions.

Li Yuan went straight home by car and immediately took out a bottle of nutrient solution, carefully reading the instructions on it.

The four grades of nutrient solution do not necessarily indicate its quality.

The nutrient solution consumed during spiritual practice is not something you can just drink whenever you want.

When you first enter the world of martial arts, you can only drink D-grade nutrient solution at most.

Nutrient solutions of grade C and above, in addition to recovery, also have significant boosting and strengthening effects.

These nutrient solutions will help to toughen and refine the body.

It brings about changes to the physique of martial artists from three dimensions: cells, bone marrow, and fascia.

The reason why Li Yuan needs Grade B nutrient solution is also here.

Using the nutrient solution to break through the barrier of realm is the most convenient path.

I read the instruction manual carefully and found no mistakes in my understanding.

Li Yuan began trying to advance his cultivation using nutrient solution in this small hut.

When the Grade B nutrient solution is drunk, it causes a strong burning sensation in the stomach.

It feels similar to the taste of high-proof spirits.

The burning sensation comes on quickly and goes off quickly.

Immediately, a pain began to emerge throughout my body.

These pains are fragmented, so fragmented that it's impossible to pinpoint their exact location.

The pain lasted for about an hour.

Subsequently, pain appeared in the bone marrow and fascia.

The pain was very noticeable, but Li Yuan felt a sense of anticipation.

This signifies a further advancement in martial arts mastery.

The pain in my body, because of that anticipation, actually gave me a sense of comfort.

The pain lasted for two hours before subsiding.

The nutrient solution has run out of power.

Li Yuan was aware of his own physique. Under the tempering of the "Zhou Tian Dao Yin Technique", his current physique far surpassed that of other martial artists at the fourth-grade perfection level.

Their tolerance for Grade B nutrient solution is unmatched by others.

The fact that the physical pain dissipated very quickly also indicates that the tolerance level was still very high.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan drank another bottle of nutrient solution.

The reason I was saving the nutrient solution before was because there wasn't enough, not because my body couldn't handle it.

Li Yuan drank a total of three bottles today.

You can clearly feel that your body cells are full, and there is a surge of energy rushing outwards.

This is a clear sign of advancement in martial arts realm.

It was completely dark by then, and Li Yuan stopped cultivating and lay down to rest.

Wait until physical strength, energy, and especially mental strength are restored.

If I do this two or three more times, I should be able to advance in my martial arts realm.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to reach the fifth rank before going to Qijia Town for training.

On Tuesday, Li Yuan attended classes as usual.

Today's schedule is very full; the school has moved many of the later classes to today.

Li Yuan had already had Class 9 and Class 14 preview the material.

After the course, I will give them further reinforcement after the Qingwu Competition.

Compared to other teachers, Li Yuan genuinely cares about his students' studies.

Li Yuancai finally had a chance to talk to Chen Yong after getting off work at six o'clock.

Li Yuan mentioned that he was taking a long leave tomorrow and asked him to help look after Class 9 and Class 14.

"By the way, your bonus wasn't deducted for this long leave."

I checked with Director Ma, and he approved it last Friday.

Chen Yong brought up the matter of salary.

The teachers at Lingshan No. 1 Middle School all have very low salaries.

Without bonuses or subsidies, even making ends meet is a struggle after paying rent.

"Didn't they withhold my bonus for taking such a long leave?"

This surprised me quite a bit...

Li Yuan was prepared for his bonus to be deducted.

Hearing someone send money to me normally today felt like finding money on the street.

Chen Yong looked at it, hesitating for a long time.

"I heard that this leave was specially approved for you by Director Ma."

This Monday, the sector under Director Ma's responsibility was suddenly adjusted.

His authority was significantly reduced, and it was all handed over to Director Liu.

I wonder if these two things are related...

Chen Yong frowned, unable to determine the correlation between the two matters.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan remained silent for a moment.

"I'll go talk to Director Ma and ask him to approve this special approval for me. At the very least, I should go and thank him."

After saying that, Li Yuan got up and walked towards Director Ma's office.

The door to Director Ma's office was not closed.

He was packing his things inside, looking like he was getting ready to leave work.

Li Yuan knocked on the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Director Ma looked up at the doorway.

He was not surprised by Li Yuan's arrival.

"It's rare that there aren't so many things to do, so I can go home early and get some rest."

Director Ma said with a smile, looking quite open-minded.

"I've never left work this early in all these years."

Li Yuan took two steps forward, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Director, I don't understand..."

He only said half of what he wanted to say, but Director Ma knew what Li Yuan was going to say next.

"There's nothing I can't understand. I just think you should take that bonus."

He teaches diligently and has a good work attitude, so why should his prize money be deducted just for participating in the Qingwu Competition?

When did the others who participated in those trials have their points deducted?

Li Yuan was even more surprised, never expecting Director Ma to say such a thing and speak up for him.

Director Ma gestured for Li Yuan to sit down and handed him a cup of black tea.

"To be honest, I do regret approving this leave application."

After years of trying to curry favor with the principal, he was exposed for what he truly was.

To be a sycophant, one should always stick to this path...

Li Yuan looked at the director and couldn't help but ask, "So, why did the director help me...?"
