The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

Liu Zhenbang observed for a while longer and realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Wei Xiong was initially confused.

Then...

"Holy crap, bro, you're awesome. When I first started learning, I couldn't even draw a bow."

He and Li Jun then started chatting enthusiastically.

"Sigh, my dad says I'm very talented, but I still can't compare to you. Luckily, I've never listened to my dad since I was little."

...

The group chatted for a while longer, finished their meal, and went back to rest in preparation for the afternoon's match.

Two matches in the afternoon.

The second part of the single-round all-around competition and the indoor 18-meter ranking competition.

After the morning's matches...

Almost all the contestants knew that two fish-fryers had come to the competition.

But only Wei Xiong and his teammates knew that the other one wasn't a fish-fryer, but a genuinely gifted freak.

Lu Qian finished charging his phone and made a video call to Li Zhiyuan.

The other party answered immediately.

"Will the afternoon's match be difficult?" Li Zhiyuan asked with some concern.

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Li Jun will be fine with the fishpond scheme."

Li Zhiyuan didn't understand what a "fishpond scheme" was, but he understood the last sentence, which put his mind at ease.

Li Jun continued to perform steadily in the afternoon competition until 4:30 pm, when the first day of competition ended and the results were tallied and announced.

The moment the results were announced.

Everyone present looked at Li Jun and Wei Xiong.

The results of these two individuals were a complete and utter crushing defeat.

Only Wei Xiong himself knew that the gap between himself and Li Jun was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

It's not a difference in ability, but a difference in talent.

Outside the stadium, the teams left in an orderly manner.

"Li Jun, go back and get some rest tonight. There's a match tomorrow, so don't lose to me!" Wei Xiong said, then ran back to his team and waved in their direction.

Li Jun waved back, then turned to look at Zhou Sheng.

"Coach Zhou, I'll go straight back to school with Teacher Lu. Could you please take my weapon back for me?"

Zhou Sheng: "?"

Lu Qian: "?"

Zhou Sheng: "Are you going back to school?"

Li Jun nodded. "Yes, we have extra lessons during evening self-study. Right, Teacher Lu?"

Lu Qian was both amused and exasperated. "No need. You and Coach Zhou go back and review today's match, then get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's game."

Before Li Jun could say anything more, Lu Qian added, "Don't worry, there won't be any extra classes these two days. I won't make sure the class is missing even one student."

Li Jun reluctantly nodded, "Alright then."

Zhou Sheng led the team back to the sports school to review the game.

Lu Qian returned to school.

It was already afternoon dismissal time.

Geng Zeqin was the only one left in the class playing games.

"Zeqin, why aren't you going to eat?" Lu Qian asked.

Geng Zeqin didn't even look up, focusing on his work. "Isn't this to wait for you to come back so we can go together?"

"Let's go, let's go, it's my treat," Lu Qian said.

The two went to a nearby mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant and chatted while eating.

Lu Qian asked, "How was class this afternoon?"

"Hey, you know what, it's really easy for them. They're all doing their homework quite conscientiously." Geng Zeqin was a little surprised. "You're pretty good, kid."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "It's about addressing the root cause. We were both students once, and some students are just rebellious. The more you try to control them, the less they listen. They know right from wrong, but they just won't change."

Geng Zeqin shrugged and buried his head in his food.

Evening self-study.

Lu Qian didn't give extra lessons. Instead, he distributed math tests for a short quiz. After the test, he collected the tests, graded them, and then distributed them back.

During this period of tutoring, the students' basic knowledge in all subjects has gradually caught up.

Lu Qian's questions gradually became more difficult.

He needs to adjust his teaching plan based on feedback on incorrect answers to keep students engaged in a process of exploration.

If it's too easy, students won't learn anything; if it's too difficult, it will dampen their enthusiasm.

This is called "boiling students in lukewarm water".

By the time the students realize it, they have already mastered the knowledge they were supposed to.

All exam papers, regardless of size, must be collected and graded so that students can see their scores and whether they got them right or wrong.

This is called getting rewarded for your efforts and gaining recognition from your teachers.

Students from other classes might be scared, but the students in Class 25 are easily intimidated.

As for having students grade their own work or exchange papers with their deskmates, the effect is minimal.

These are all things that Lu Qian himself experienced back then.

……

After the review session at the sports school, Li Jun returned home.

The house was quiet.

I called my dad and got the reply that he would be back late in the next couple of days.

Li Jun suddenly felt a void in his heart.

Little did anyone know that the moment Li Zhiyuan hung up the phone, he immediately threw himself back into his work.

It's just like a student who plays hard during the day and stays up all night doing homework.

"You didn't come back sooner. I was going to talk to you about this," Li Jun muttered, flipping open the math problems.

……

The next day, everyone arrived on time for the competition.

"Li Jun, keep it up." Lu Qian patted him on the shoulder.

"Um!"

The second day was the knockout stage.

The first match is a team elimination tournament, with a best-of-one format.

Each team consists of three athletes, each with two arrows. The team with the higher score in a single round gets two points, and in a tie, each team gets one point. The first team to reach five points wins.

"Finally, I'll be fighting alongside the Holy Son." Tao Sheng gripped his bow, his hands trembling with excitement.

Li Jun gazed at the bow with deep affection and whispered, "Charge with me!"

Yuan Yao: "...?...Good luck!"

Although Tao Sheng and Yuan Yao don't have Li Jun's terrifying talent, they are still top-notch and there is no way they are holding the team back.

The three of them teamed up and easily advanced to victory.

The individual elimination rounds use a pairing system between the first and last teams.

The last person in the standings looked at Li Jun, who was in first place, and fell silent.

Lunch break is over.

The final round will be held this afternoon.

Li Jun remained calm and composed, finishing the 70-meter individual final first and taking first place.

No matter who is matched with him, they can feel the heavy pressure he exerts.

Wei Xiong, in particular, felt immense pressure after learning about Li Jun's terrifying talent.

Fortunately, it didn't affect his performance, and he successfully won second place.

The coaches from each team were discussing the matter extensively, but also expressed some helplessness.

"He's too strong. He has the strength to rival a first-class athlete right from his debut."

"It still relies too much on talent."

"But it's all good, this time Jiangcheng has produced two geniuses!"

"I'm so proud to be a part of it, hahaha..."

The team team still won first place without any controversy in the finals.

With Li Jun around, Tao Sheng and Yuan Yao were less nervous and performed even better.

The moment the match was declared over,

Zhou Sheng finally couldn't hold back anymore and laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth stretched all the way to his ears.

"How's it going? How's it going? Is Li Jun number one?!" Li Zhiyuan's anxious voice came through Lu Qian's earpiece.

Lu Qian, leaning on the railing, laughed and said, "That's right, Li Jun came in first place in this city competition!"

A clattering sound of a chair came from the other end of the phone.

Li Zhiyuan immediately stood up and went to the French windows to practice a few moves of military boxing.

There was a knock on the office door, followed by the secretary's voice.

"Mr. Li?"

Li Zhiyuan coughed lightly and straightened his clothes.

"It's okay, the file was lost."

"OK."

It's just at the municipal level, just at the municipal level.

Li Zhiyuan thought this to himself, but he couldn't help being happy for his son.

After calming down, Li Zhiyuan said somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Teacher Lu."

Lu Qian's lips curled up slightly. This was only the city competition. He wondered how Li Zhiyuan would react when Li Jun won the national championship and the world championship.

"I understand if you're happy for the child. Mr. Li, would you like to celebrate for Li Jun?"

Li Zhiyuan on the other end of the phone remained silent, somewhat conflicted. He wanted to celebrate, but didn't know how.

I wonder if Li Jun will tell him about winning the city competition.

"Teacher Lu, please don't tell Li Jun that I video-chatted with you to watch his match!" Li Zhiyuan immediately changed the subject.

Lu Qian: "Okay."
