"This upgrade is really like riding a rocket."
Ye Li's qi and blood suddenly rose significantly. His eyes were blazing, his skin was glowing, and his muscles and bones were strong and powerful!
The numbers on the panel indicated that within just a few breaths, he had consecutively broken through three ranks!
Now, he was only one step away from the first rank, ninth level!
Ye Li was extremely shocked.
According to his memory, even a top - notch genius would find it very difficult to break through to this rank before entering a martial - arts university.
In other words.
In less than an afternoon, Ye Li had leaped from an almost - invisible average student to the ranks of geniuses.
This speed was so astonishing that anyone who saw it would exclaim how ridiculous it was!
However...
In Ye Li's view, after eight and a half years of hard work in his previous life, he still hadn't even reached the peak of the first rank.
His aptitude really wasn't that great...
"Never mind. As I add more points in the future, my aptitude will naturally improve," Ye Li silently comforted himself in his heart and casually closed the panel.
Anyway, judging by his apparent cultivation speed, who would dare to say he wasn't a genius?
Adding points was precisely the reason to become a king.
He still had 700 points of villainy value left, which was quite ample.
Tomorrow, he would go to the school's library pavilion to select some new martial arts techniques and upgrade his martial - arts repertoire.
Just mastering one boxing technique and one spear technique was rather meager.
It was like a squishy martial artist who maxed out his attack but learned nothing else.
One should learn both offensive and defensive techniques to achieve a balanced development.
After a simple wash, Ye Li lay down on the bed.
Only then did a sense of fatigue wash over him.
He had just transmigrated and experienced so many things. It was time for a rest.
Ye Li let out a long sigh, set his phone to silent, and listened to the wind outside the window.
Closing his eyes, he gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, the cypresses on both sides of the road swayed in the morning breeze.
Linhai No.1 Middle School.
Ye Li, dressed in casual clothes, walked through the campus, entered the teaching building, and climbed up to the third floor.
He tidied his sleeves, walked into the classroom, and headed for his seat.
By the window in the back row, the land of the king.
Perhaps because of yesterday's Guidance Competition, many of his classmates cast glances in Ye Li's direction.
Most of the glances were rather complex.
Ye Li was familiar with such glances.
In his previous life, when a socially - invisible classmate suddenly showed off an extremely strong talent at the graduation ceremony, he had looked at that classmate with the same kind of gaze.
Fortunately, thanks to the predecessor's taciturn nature, none of the classmates came over to talk to Ye Li until he reached his seat.
Of course, not everyone remained silent.
"Brother Ye! You're finally here!"
Just as Ye Li sat down in his seat, an excited voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Li looked up and saw his classmate Fang Ming, who was also his best friend, running over excitedly.
"What's up? You looking for me for something?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows.
"It's not me. Teacher Yang is looking for you," Fang Ming waved his hand and then said excitedly:
"Never mind that for now. You were amazing yesterday! You totally blew my mind!"
His strength was considered quite good in the entire grade, reaching the first rank, fourth level.
But even so, he was no match for that Wang Ren at all.
Yet Ye Li had instantly defeated that Wang Ren!
"Isn't it exciting to beat a member of the school team?" Fang Ming asked excitedly.
"It's alright," Ye Li stood up, casually stretched, and walked outside. "Let's go. First, let's go find Teacher Yang."
"Ah?"
Fang Ming was taken aback, not understanding why Ye Li was so calm.
In his view, defeating a school - team substitute was definitely an exciting event.
Why did his good friend seem to not care about yesterday's match at all?
Fang Ming, with a suspicious look on his face, walked out of the classroom and followed Ye Li.
Not until they reached the fourth floor did Fang Ming finally couldn't help but ask:"Brother Ye, don't you have anything to say? That was a school - team substitute!"
"Nope," Ye Li casually patted his shoulder, pushed the door open, and walked into the teachers' office.
Fang Ming stared at the closed door for a long time. Finally, with a look of disbelief, he sat down.
Was it his problem?
Could it be that defeating a school - team substitute wasn't worth getting excited about?
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and sent a message to his father: "Dad, I beat a school - team substitute."
The phone vibrated, and soon there was a reply.
Dad: "Really? Damn! My son is amazing!"
Dad: "Hahaha! I'll invite all the martial - arts families in Linhai City tonight!"
Dad: "I just told your grandpa the news, and he tore up the family genealogy, saying he'll start a new one from you!"
Looking at his father's messages, Fang Ming showed a gratified smile.
Sure enough, it wasn't his problem.
Brother Ye's personality was still too honest.
Was that arrogant posture in yesterday's match just a momentary impulse...
Fang Ming let out a sigh and then replied:
"Dad, I was just kidding. I'm only at the first rank, fourth level. How could I possibly beat someone like that?"
Dad: "???"
Putting the phone back in his pocket, Fang Ming felt a strong vibration coming through. The person sending the message was obviously very excited.
Inside the office.
"You're here," Yang Shan put down the documents in her hand, looked at the approaching Ye Li, and smiled. "Have a seat. I asked you to come to tell you some good news."
"Good news?" Ye Li casually pulled a chair and sat down.
Yang Shan nodded. "After watching your match yesterday, Principal Li plans to specially approve you to replace Wang Ren as a substitute for the school team."
"What are the benefits?" Ye Li asked.
"Of course. You'll not only have an exclusive cultivation room, but you can also arrange your own training plan 平时," Yang Shan clasped her hands together and smiled.
"In other words, you won't have to attend the classes on the curriculum schedule in the future, but correspondingly, you'll have to participate in the training plan arranged by the school team."
"Also, you can go to the third floor of the library pavilion to browse, and you'll get an extra spiritual medicine subsidy every month... and so on."
"What do you think?"
Yang Shan looked at the young man rather proudly, hoping to see a look of surprise on his face.
Unfortunately, the young man just smiled faintly and said:
"That sounds good."
He was just short of new martial arts techniques and new resources, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse.
"Then it's settled," Yang Shan smiled and took out a silver waist token from the drawer, handing it to Ye Li. "This is a special waist token for school - team members. It's also an access pass for many places."
After Ye Li took the waist token, her smile faded a bit, and she continued:
"Also, since you've replaced Wang Ren's spot, some members of the school team who were on good terms with him may have some opinions about you."
"Your current strength is still behind theirs. Try not to get into conflicts with them to avoid getting hurt."
Having said this, Yang Shan paused and then continued:
"Especially that girl Shen Lian. She seems to have a big grudge against you. When she heard that you were going to join the school team, she strongly objected."
"When you see her in the future, it's better to keep your distance."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yang Shan felt that after she finished speaking, the smile on the young man's face became even more pronounced.
"I see," he nodded slightly. "I understand."
"Good," Yang Shan let out a sigh of relief and then smiled.
"Alright, if you don't have anything else to do next, just go to the training building and pick a training room you like."
"Just go there directly. Shen Lian is waiting for you there."
"Shen Lian?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's her," Yang Shan nodded, a bit helplessly.
"She insists on helping you get familiar with the new environment, and the instructor agreed. Be careful."
"If she tries to cause trouble for you, just avoid her for now. Understand?"
Me avoid her first?
Ye Li let out a light laugh and didn't say much more.
He just calmly said: "Then I'll go."
With that, he took the waist token, stood up, and walked out of the room.
His steps were unusually brisk.
Looking in the direction Ye Li left, Yang Shan murmured uncertainly:
"This kid seems to have really changed a bit."
"Somehow he seems... much more confident?"
The door was pushed open, and Ye Li walked out leisurely.
"Let's go," he called out to Fang Ming.
"Where to?" Fang Ming asked curiously.
"To the training building," Ye Li showed the silver waist token in his hand and said casually.
"I've joined the school team. Teacher Yang asked me to get familiar with the future training environment."
