Chapter 97: Qualification
After returning to his room, Chen Chuan closed the door with a natural expression, as if the intense fight he had just witnessed was as mundane as eating or drinking water.
He first freshened up and changed his clothes before stepping out. By then, Jing Lin was nowhere to be found, but some students were still there, excitedly discussing the fight. They all greeted Chen Chuan with nods when they saw him.
He made his way to the public telephone, where the dormitory staff looked at him helplessly and said, "Chen, next time you spar, don't take out your frustration on the wall. You've scraped off quite a bit of paint."
Chen Chuan apologized, "Sorry, teacher."
The staff member smiled, "Well, you can aim for the floor next time. If you damage it more, it's fine. That way, I can report it, right?"
Chen Chuan smiled and waited for the staff member to leave before picking up the phone and calling Cheng Zitong.
When the call connected, he said, "Teacher, I just met someone who claimed to be from Central City, saying he wanted to introduce me to his teacher."
Cheng Zitong's voice turned serious, "Where are you? When did this happen? Did you agree?"
"I didn't agree," Chen Chuan briefly explained what had happened.
Cheng Zitong's voice became stern, "I understand. If this person comes looking for you again, you can directly refuse. Remember, this is Yangzhi City's Wu Yi Academy, not Central City. If you have any difficulties, you can directly call the supervisor at the headquarters. He will help you resolve the issue."
Chen Chuan acknowledged with a 'yes'.
Cheng Zitong hung up the phone and turned to speak to the person on the sofa opposite him, only to find that the person was already gone.
After hanging up, Chen Chuan checked his watch. It hadn't taken much time, but he had spent some time freshening up. Still, it wasn't past mealtime yet.
He took the elevator downstairs and headed towards the cafeteria. Along the way, he also recalled the recent fights. Jing Lin was a bit different; it seemed like he had broken free from the constraints of his transformed organs, but Chen Chuan didn't think it was that impressive.
According to his observations, some teachers at the academy also had similar skills. Unless Jing Lin had some special abilities or was simply overconfident.
He didn't want to meet that so-called teacher because he didn't believe in the supposed opportunity. If it were real, Cheng Zitong would have already told him.
Moreover, as his mentor, Cheng Zitong would definitely be involved in such matters. At the very least, he would be informed. However, the other party had bypassed Cheng Zitong and approached Chen Chuan directly, and their words lacked any respect.
It was a deep-rooted arrogance.
As he pondered, he unknowingly arrived at the cafeteria. He temporarily put the matter aside and ate his meal. After returning to the dormitory, he continued his training.
Two days passed, and it was the end of the month's rest day. He went home for a visit, and this time, Nian Fu Li was still not around. According to Yu Wan's explanation, he had been burdened with many tasks recently, but Nian Fu Li not only didn't feel tired but also had plenty of energy.
Chen Chuan could guess some of the reasons. He smiled and took out a stack of tickets, saying, "Auntie, these are from the academy's teachers. You and Uncle can take your younger siblings to watch the tournament."
Yu Wan looked at the stack of tickets in surprise and delight. In the prosperous martial arts era of the Great Harmony Republic, people from all walks of life were enthusiastic about the arena. However, Yangzhi City's citizens could usually only watch the competitions at various martial arts clubs. But in terms of scale, skill level, and duration, they couldn't compare to Wu Yi.
As for the underground arenas like Bloodstain Gang and Iron Chain Gang, they had higher skill levels, but they were not only bloody and exposed but also not places where ordinary citizens could go. Therefore, the most popular event was the annual tournament of Wu Yi Academy at the end of the year. In the past, tickets were hard to come by, but Chen Chuan had managed to get quite a few this time.
These tickets could also be shared with the neighbors, and they could all go to watch the tournament together.
"Chun, I'll take these this time," Yu Wan said.
"I want to go too, I want to go too," Nian Mo jumped around.
Yu Wan pulled her younger son's ear and scolded him, "The things your brother brought last time weren't enough for you to play with? And I've told you many times not to call your brother by his nickname."
"I know manners, I know manners, I always call him brother," Nian Lu said, his small face beaming with the expectation of praise.
Yu Wan patted Nian Mo's bottom, "Your sister is more well-behaved than you."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Next time, I'll bring some for you." Nian Lu immediately became obedient and said, "Thank you, brother."
After spending the night at home, Chen Chuan bid farewell to Yu Wan the next morning and returned to school. As he entered the school gates, he could hear the rhythmic footsteps and chants from the Second-Class Students' training ground. Meanwhile, some First-Class Students he encountered on the road were in a hurry, and a simple nod served as their greeting.
In a few days, the Second-Class Students would undergo the tournament selection process, while the First-Class Students had to worry about their final exams. This time of year was always the most intense for Wu Yi Academy students.
In contrast, Chen Chuan strolled leisurely through the school with his hands in his pockets.
Upon returning to the dormitory, he changed his clothes and headed to the martial arts training hall he frequently visited. The manager there was already familiar with him, and a simple nod was all that was needed as a greeting.
