Chapter 29: Xu Bo's Shocking Revelation

As the middle-aged man in traditional Tang attire ignored him and directly addressed Xu Bo, the faces of the vice principals slightly changed.

They couldn't help but turn their heads towards Xu Bo.

Previously, the vice principals had heard many rumors, but they hadn't witnessed it themselves, so they still had some doubts about Xu Bo.

But now? All doubts were gone.

Only Principal Tan Zhenlong remained calm, as he was the most aware of Xu Bo's background, which was why he specifically asked Xu Bo to greet them at the school gate.

And the result was as he had expected.

"Tie Ta, I heard about your hand..." The middle-aged man in Tang attire looked at Xu Bo's silver mechanical right arm.

"Old Wan, it's all in the past."

Xu Bo waved his hand and smiled, "Today is your first visit to our school during your term. Let's discuss official matters first."

"This is Principal Tan," Xu Bo introduced.

"Principal Tan," Grandmaster Wan smiled slightly.

"Grandmaster Wan, it's an honor to meet you. I've long heard of your reputation in the Star Realm," Principal Tan bowed slightly and extended his hand.

Principal Tan's posture was humble.

As the head of the Starfire Combat Palace's Guanshan Branch, Grandmaster Wan held an extremely high position.

This status came from the Combat Palace's influence and, more importantly, Grandmaster Wan's own abilities.

"Principal Tan, let's go inside the school," Grandmaster Wan smiled. "I just returned from the Star Realm, and I'm not familiar with many things. Let's follow the usual procedure and first take a look at the students in the three elite classes."

"Okay."

"This way, Grandmaster Wan. The students from the three elite classes are all waiting in the Martial Arts classroom," Principal Tan smiled.

The group entered the school, surrounded by people.

Two hours later, the group emerged from the Elite Building, with Grandmaster Wan, Principal Tan, and Xu Bo at the center.

"Principal Tan and teachers, your teaching methods are commendable," Grandmaster Wan smiled.

"The students in the elite classes are all excellent, especially the seniors. I believe many of them have the potential to enter the Five Great Academies," Grandmaster Wan praised.

"Grandmaster Wan, you're too kind," Principal Tan smiled. "I wonder if there are any students who have caught your eye?"

The vice principals and teachers all looked at Grandmaster Wan with anticipation.

The essence of the Combat Palace's visit was to have its leader assess the students and determine if any were qualified for early contracts.

For the school, it was best for students to be specially recruited by the Martial Hall, but the numbers were too few.

If students could be cultivated by the Combat Palace, their chances of entering the Five Great Academies would greatly increase, which would also be a political achievement for the school's leadership.

In fact, within Xia Nation, why were there only the Starlight Combat Palace and the Starfire Combat Palace? And why did these two Combat Palaces hold so much power?

In a sense, these two Combat Palaces appeared independent but had some official nature to them.

"These students are all excellent, but some decisions are not mine alone," Grandmaster Wan smiled. "When I return, the Combat Palace will conduct a comprehensive assessment of these students, and I believe there will be positive results."

Disappointment flashed in the eyes of the school leaders.

Obviously, Grandmaster Wan hadn't shown interest in any student, at least not at first sight.

"Grandmaster Wan, would you like to take a look at the regular class students?" Principal Tan's smile remained, "There are also some outstanding students in the regular classes."

Grandmaster Wan smiled but remained silent.

"Principal Tan, Grandmaster Wan has limited time today, and it's getting late," a man in black beside him spoke softly, "What do you think?"

"Oh, okay, then we'll wait for the next opportunity," Principal Tan nodded repeatedly.

This was a common occurrence; there were too many regular class students, and the probability of becoming a martial artist was low... Whether it was the Starfire Combat Palace or the Starlight Combat Palace, they rarely visited the regular classes during their assessments.

It was important to note that assessing school students was only a small part of the Combat Palace's work.

Moreover, there were dozens of middle and high schools in the Guanshan District, leaving little time to inspect each one individually. Most of the time, they would directly check the martial arts scores.

"Old Wan."

Xu Bo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "I've selected a few promising students from the regular classes. Would you like to stay a bit longer?"

Everyone turned to look at Xu Bo.

"Xu..." Principal Tan was about to speak.

"Tie Ta, who do you have your eye on?" Grandmaster Wan showed a hint of curiosity and smiled, "From the regular class? If they've caught your attention, they must have potential. Alright, I'll take another look."

Grandmaster Wan agreed for two reasons. Firstly, it was a gesture of respect to Xu Bo.

Secondly, he had just assumed the role of the Combat Palace's leader and wanted to make some achievements. However, the students from the three elite classes he saw today didn't meet his expectations.

"Okay, Teacher Xu, please lead the way," Principal Tan smiled.

"Yeah, this way.

"Xu Bo walked at the front.

...

'Today, Teacher Xu Bo asked me to come here and specifically instructed me not to go anywhere else. Why?' Li Yuan wondered, his gaze sweeping over the other three students.

Two seniors and one junior, none of whom were familiar with each other.

Including Li Yuan, there were only four of them in this Martial Arts classroom.

Suddenly.

'Hmm?' Li Yuan's ears twitched as he heard the commotion coming from the end of the corridor.

It was Teacher Xu Bo's voice.

'Grandmaster Wan?' Li Yuan heard a title in the voice.

Before he could finish his thought.

Soon.

Xu Bo, Grandmaster Wan, Principal Tan, and their group entered the Martial Arts classroom.

Facing this scene.

The other three students all looked tense, but Li Yuan was the only one who seemed prepared and remained the calmest.

'Grandmaster Wan, is he the Palace Master of the Starlight Martial Palace or the Starfire Martial Palace?' Li Yuan's peripheral vision involuntarily fell on the middle-aged man in Tang costume, and a string of text messages appeared in his vision.

【Target person, life tier exceeds sensing limit (current life tier sensing limit is 16.9)】

He stood at the head of the group, his clothing was very distinctive, and his status was obviously the highest.

Moreover, with just a glance, this middle-aged man in Tang costume gave Li Yuan a sense of extreme danger, especially his eyes, which seemed calm but were like blades, making people involuntarily want to look away.

'Such a powerful warrior, maybe even stronger than Teacher Xu.' Li Yuan was secretly surprised.

His Divine Palace Panel's probing consumed mental energy with each use, and after many uses, he would feel tired, as if he had experienced a large number of virtual battles, so Li Yuan rarely used it during normal times.

'The Palace Master of the Martial Palace? Accompanied by the principal and Teacher Xu? What are they here for?' Li Yuan's mind raced.

At the same time.

Li Yuan and the other three students all called out: 'Principal, Teacher Xu.'

'Teacher Xu.'

Several vice principals? Li Yuan and the others only recognized their faces, knowing they were school leaders, but not their surnames, so they didn't address them.

'Good.'

'You listen up, today is a very important opportunity for you. Later, you'll showcase your physical qualities and martial skills.' Xu Bo said in a low voice: 'Xiong Yifan, you go first, for the three tests.'

The three tests referred to Vital Energy Detection, Fist Power Test, and Burst Speed Test.

Immediately.

The senior high student stepped into the range of the Vitality Blood Detection Device...

Grandmaster Wan didn't pay much attention to this senior high student, he seemed to have noticed something, and his gaze had already fallen on Li Yuan, and he said softly: 'Tie Ta, what's this student's name?'

Xu Bo noticed Grandmaster Wan's gaze and said: 'His name is Li Yuan, Old Wan, do you think he's good?'

'Li Yuan?' Grandmaster Wan's eyes moved slightly, as if he remembered something, and he smiled: 'Let's take a look, no rush.'

'Hmm.' Xu Bo nodded.

Soon.

The tests for the senior and junior high students were completed, and their physical quality data was considered in the upper-middle range among their peers in the elite class.

However, that was all, not enough to change Grandmaster Wan's mind.

In the end, everyone's gaze fell on Li Yuan.

'Is he Li Yuan?'

'I've heard of him.'

'His martial skills seem pretty good.'

'But he hasn't awakened his Martial Spirit even after entering senior year, so the chances of early contract signing aren't high, right?' Several school leaders whispered to each other, they didn't know that Li Yuan was on the Bluestar Youth Rankings, but they had all heard of his name.

After defeating Lin Lan Yue in a virtual battle, Li Yuan became a minor celebrity in the school.

'Li Yuan, go ahead, and be serious, show your strength.' Xu Bo said in a low voice.

Out of the four ordinary class students selected, Xu Bo valued Li Yuan the most.

Or perhaps, in his eyes, Li Yuan was the most promising candidate for an early contract with the Martial Palace.

'Yes.'

Li Yuan nodded and stepped directly into the silver circular area in the center of the Martial Arts classroom, this circle was both the skill testing area and the sensing range of the Vitality Blood Detection Device.

Whoosh! A red light shot out, enveloping Li Yuan's entire body.

Three seconds later.

Data appeared on the screen at the back of the classroom - 'Li Yuan (student), Physical Quality: 6.9 (last tested 6.5).'

'Historical Data: September 5th: 6.5.'

'Historical Data: June 25th, 6.0.'

...

'6.9? An increase of 0.4 levels in just over a month?' A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Bo's eyes as he looked at Li Yuan in shock.

'Interesting.' Grandmaster Wan smiled.
