In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Li Yuan believes that the sign of a person's maturity is understanding this sentence.

People should pursue profit, and they should pursue it firmly.

But why would Director Ma help him?

Didn't he realize that offending Principal Yin like this would be even more disadvantageous...?

As he himself said, he had been flattering people for so many years that he should have gotten used to it by now.

Why do things that go against your own interests?

Director Ma lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"The answer isn't that complicated. I just think you shouldn't have deducted this bonus."

Teachers who work hard and are dedicated deserve more bonuses.

Besides, you have indeed compromised for several years, and you deserve this opportunity to learn and grow.

Facing Li Yuan, Director Ma revealed all his thoughts.

In short, he simply couldn't stand it anymore.

"Thank you, Director. I will do my best in the Qingwu Tournament and strive for a good ranking."

Li Yuan didn't hate Director Ma that much.

Once you're in his position, you often have no say in your own life.

He's on his side, and he'll be ousted soon.

Director Ma smiled helplessly upon hearing this.

"Although I do not agree with the principal's approach this time, I do not think that some of the principal's views are wrong."

Your talent in martial arts is not that outstanding.

There is a significant gap in actual strength between him and Jin Fan and the others.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be difficult to obtain such a valuable training opportunity as the Qingwu Competition in the future.

After the competition, I will focus on improving my teaching skills.

I have high hopes for your teaching abilities; you are more than qualified to be the grade-level teaching group leader.

Li Yuan exchanged a few polite words and left the office.

Director Ma still lacked confidence in himself.

He spoke up for them this time mainly because he couldn't stand by and watch.

Putting aside his achievements, Li Yuan deserves to participate in this Qingwu Tournament based solely on his hard work.

For Li Yuan, Director Ma's words had no effect on him.

Whether he has confidence in himself or not does not affect his ability.

Moreover, Director Zeng of the Municipal Education Bureau seemed to have a high opinion of him this time.

The Qingwu Tournament doesn't necessarily mean you won't get a good ranking.

After get off work, I took a car home.

Starting tomorrow, it will be time to prepare for the Qingwu Tournament.

I took a total of twenty days off to prepare for the competition.

After dinner, Li Yuanxian tallied up the experience points he had gained.

We brought up the remaining lessons today, so we were a bit rushed.

But Li Yuan's teaching ability is undeniable. Even though the course was rushed, the results were still quite good, and many valuable insights were gained.

Experience points: 315/400

Below the light screen, Li Yuan looked at the fourth talent point, only eighty-odd experience points away from being obtained.

I'm sure I can get my hands on it before the Qingwu Tournament.

After seeing all this, Li Yuan continued his cultivation of his spiritual realm.

With ample Grade B nutrient solution and having taken leave, I can definitely work even harder.

Li Yuan is preparing to depart the day after tomorrow morning after his training in Qijia Town.

Taking the high-speed train for a day and a night provides ample time to sleep.

So it's okay to push yourself a little during this day at home.

After dinner, Li Yuan continued his training in hammering.

Grade B nutrient solution has a very significant effect.

Gradually, the pain in my body began to lessen, and even disappeared.

All of these factors indicate a significant leap in physical strength.

At four o'clock in the morning, Li Yuan lay down to rest.

I woke up naturally at nine in the morning, and after waking up, I continued to train and improve.

With the help of this drug and his own rigorous training, Li Yuan finally advanced to the fifth rank at four in the morning.

Having been stuck at the fourth rank for many years, he has finally taken this step.

At the same time, the most noticeable improvement is in eyesight and hearing.

The lights in Li Yuan's room were actually quite dim.

But at this moment, it seems to be much brighter.

If you listen carefully, the voices of the people talking downstairs in the community become clearer.

The benefits of improving one's physique should go far beyond these, but right now, Li Yuan is genuinely tired of cultivating.

After taking a shower, Li Yuan further consolidated his cultivation level.

Li Yuan was setting off for Qijia Town the next day and didn't want to waste his energy on other things.

Even celebrating such things is not something to be done now.

At six o'clock in the morning, Li Yuan shouldered his bag and set off to take the high-speed train.

After boarding the high-speed train, I immediately leaned back and fell asleep to rest and recover.

The backpack also contained six bottles of Grade B nutrient solution.

Of the thirty-five bottles of nutrient solution, only nine remain at home.

Once you reach the fifth rank in martial arts, the D-grade nutrient solution becomes ineffective.

In future cultivation, one must at least drink C-grade beverages.

Consumption levels will gradually rise.

However, I will be able to obtain the intermediate teacher title soon after the Qingwu Competition.

Salaries and bonuses will increase significantly, which is affordable.

I slept on the high-speed train until after 6 p.m., and had a good rest.

For a fifth-rank martial artist, not resting is actually not a problem; the body can handle it perfectly well.

Resting and sleeping are primarily about restoring mental energy.

The body can still handle it, but concentration will decrease somewhat.

After waking up, Li Yuan drank some nutrient solution and continued to sense the changes in the fifth rank.

As the high-speed train sped along, Li Yuan discovered that he could see the nearby scenery clearly.

The scenery rushing past me didn't seem so fast to me.

And in this noisy environment, you can hear all the sounds from outside.

Feeling this, Li Yuan realized that even when martial artists suppressed their martial arts realm, they still had a significant advantage in combat!

Eyesight, hearing, and reaction time are all things that are on a higher level.

Even under these circumstances, Gu Yu still lost to himself, and it's unclear what he was dissatisfied with.

At the same time, Li Yuan discovered something.

That should be considered bad news.

His own basic cultivation method, the "Circulation Guiding Technique".

After being promoted to the fifth rank, its effect becomes very weak.

This basic training method has limited effect on strengthening the fascia and bone marrow.

The improvement it brings to cells is quite good.

When I was in the fourth rank, I could barely make do.

By utilizing the method of circulating the qi throughout the body, the fascia and bone marrow can also benefit.

However, once one reaches the fifth rank, the "Zhou Tian Dao Yin Technique" becomes completely ineffective against the fascia and bone marrow.

We really need to think of a way to find a suitable basic practice method.

Li Yuan wasn't flustered at all.

If all else fails, find another set of basic cultivation methods and use the two sets together.

It's still quite a distance from Qijia Town; we won't arrive until tomorrow morning.

You can use the remaining time to calm down and read more books.

Li Yuan also brought two books in his backpack on this trip.

A "Practical Handbook for Dealing with Ferocious Beasts" and a "Border Chronicle".

These two books were very helpful for my experience on the frontier.

The two books are very thick; it used to take me half a month to read just one of them.

But now, Li Yuan can understand all kinds of books very quickly.

One night is enough time to finish watching all the remaining content.

After spending the night on the high-speed train, Li Yuan walked out of the high-speed train station at 9:30 in the morning.

We've arrived at Qijia Town.

Li Yuanxian called his friend Chen Yong to let him know he was safe and to ask about the situation.
