Everyone was shocked, looked at the sound, and then saluted one after another.
A man in his thirties walked over, wearing loose training clothes, with a short cut hair, a Chinese character face, and strong facial features.
This person's name is Yuan Gang, he is the instructor of the martial arts training class and the only martial arts instructor in No. 1 Middle School. He is close to the first-level realm and is only a little short of becoming a first-level warrior.
He is the guide on the path of martial arts for students and is highly respected.
Yuan Gang came closer, looked at Ning Chen and Gu Haowen, and shouted: "Why don't you get off the ring?"
"But mentor..." Gu Haowen shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Gang shouted: "Idiot, the martial arts exam is only half a month away. At this time, you are fighting here privately. Don't you want to enter the martial arts academy?"
Today's high schools not only have college entrance examinations, but also martial arts examinations.
The college entrance examination is a cultural examination, and the martial arts examination, as the name suggests, is a martial arts examination. It is a special examination set up by the state to select martial arts talents. It is somewhat similar to the previous "art and physical examination", but it is completely different from that.
The martial arts exam is even more important than the college entrance exam!
For example, in No. 1 Middle School, many people participate in martial arts training classes, all hoping to pass the martial arts exam, enter the martial arts academy, and become warriors.
Because warriors are the backbone of the country, they possess extraordinary power and are synonymous with privilege.
Once you become a warrior, it means you have become a privileged class and will become a master.
Therefore, the martial arts examination is more important than the college entrance examination. However, there are many people who participate in martial arts training classes and can pass the martial arts examination, but there are very few people who enter martial arts academies.
There is only half a month until the martial arts test. It is unwise to fight at this time. If you are injured in a fight and have no time to recover, your martial arts test results will be affected.
If this leads to failure in the martial arts examination and the chance to enter the martial arts academy, it will affect a person's entire life and future.
Being scolded by Yuan Gang, Gu Haowen lowered his head and did not dare to argue.
As soon as he saw this situation, Ning Chen knew that he would not be able to fight today. He looked at Gu Haowen and said coldly: "Make note of today's battle first and come back after the martial arts test."
In fact, Gu Haowen had provoked Ning Chen several times before, but the reason why Ning Chen ignored him was because he considered that the martial arts exam was approaching.
"Hmph." Gu Haowen snorted angrily, gritted his teeth and said to Ning Chen: "Okay, after the martial arts test, we will show off."
This time Yuan Gang did not stop it, nor did he mention what happened before.
He already understood the whole story. Zhao Kai had insulted Yang Lei first, and Ning Chen's violent beating of Zhao Kai was excusable. As for him being so direct and taking action directly, it didn't matter.
Ning Chen has such a strong spirit in him.
For people like Gu Haowen who come from a wealthy family, not only do they have the guidance of famous teachers to practice martial arts, but they also have various elixirs and medicinal foods to regulate their bodies, which can be said to get twice the result with half the effort.
And Ning Chen is just an ordinary family.
Yuan Gang felt that the reason why Ning Chen, who came from an ordinary family, was able to obtain the title of senior student, might be because of his spirit.
Warriors must forge ahead with determination!
The matter came to an end like this, but many people were talking about today's turmoil and the showdown between Ning Chen and Gu Haowen.
...
Grade 3 (8) class.
In the classroom, students are studying in the evening.
No. 1 Middle School also has evening self-study. From 7pm to 9pm, most of the time, students review by themselves. Occasionally, a teacher will give lectures on test papers.
There is no teacher at this time, students review by themselves.
Ning Chen and Yang Lei were in the same class and at the same table. Ning Chen was reading a book, but Yang Lei couldn't read it at all and couldn't calm down.
"Ning Chen." Yang Lei whispered: "Thank you for standing up for me. I'm really useless. You've been standing up for me since I was a kid."
"Don't bother me, read a book." Ning Chen didn't even raise his head.
Yang Lei bared his teeth, pulled at the wounds on his face, couldn't help but hissed, and continued: "I can't stand it. After the martial arts test, do you really want to fight Gu Haowen?"
Ning Chen raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, didn't you see it today? He is no match for me. He provoked me time and time again before. If he hadn't been worried about the upcoming martial arts exam, I would have beaten him long ago."
Among the four senior students in No. 1 Middle School, Kaiyang Yang ranks first and is known as a genius. It is said that he is close to the first-class level and is a sure thing to be admitted to the martial arts academy.
Ning Chen was not completely confident against Kai Yang, but he was confident against Gu Haowen.
"Go crazy." Yang Lei curled his lips and warned: "Anyway, be careful when the time comes, don't lose."
"Don't worry." Ning Chen smiled.
...
In a blink of an eye, the evening self-study is over.
Ning Chen and San Pang are both day students. Their homes are not far from each other and they go together after school. This has been the case since childhood.
As soon as I walked to the school gate, I bumped into Gu Haowen and Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai was already awake, with a pig's head on his head, and his eyes were filled with hatred. Gu Haowen hid it better, but the flash of coldness in his eyes still did not escape Ning Chen's eyes.
"Let's go." Ning Chen shouted to the third fat man.
The third fat man hummed and looked away.
After the two of them walked away, Zhao Kai dared to snort angrily and said aggrievedly: "Young Master Gu, you must help me avenge today."
"Don't worry, after the martial arts test, I will break his legs." Gu Haowen said. His confidence was not without reason. In order to prepare for the martial arts test, his father prepared a Peiyuan Pill for him. After taking it, his strength will increase.
Quite a few.
"When I take the Peiyuan Pill..." Gu Haowen muttered, but he remembered today's fight again, and his expression twitched.
He actually lost.
Although he didn't finish the fight and was stopped by his mentor, he clearly felt that Ning Chen's power, strength, speed, and combat experience were all stronger than him.
...
"See you tomorrow."
Arriving outside Ning Chen's community, Ning Chen waved his hand and walked into the community.
This community is called Jiuxiangyuan. It is a relatively old community. It has been built for twenty years. It was bought when Ning Chen's parents were still alive.
Ning Chen's parents died when he was only a few years old, and his grandmother also passed away a few years later, leaving him and his grandfather alone to depend on each other.
It can be said that Ning Chen was raised by his grandfather.
"grandfather."
Ning Chen shouted as he opened the door.
An old man with gray hair stood up from the sofa and said cheerfully: "I'm back. Are you hungry? Go and wash your hands."
Ning Chen was really hungry. He subconsciously looked at the dining table and was startled. There were many dishes on the dining table, and besides the dishes, there was also a birthday cake.
"Grandpa, this is..."
"Haha." The old man laughed and said, "You silly boy, you forgot your birthday? Today is your eighteenth birthday."
Ning Chen finally realized what he was doing and scratched his head nervously. He had really forgotten.
The martial arts exam is half a month away, and the college entrance exam is a month away. He has been under a lot of pressure lately, and he really didn't realize that today was his birthday.
After Ning Chen washed his hands and sat down, the old man lit the candles on the birthday cake.
Seeing Ning Chen blowing out all the candles in one breath, the old man's eyes were a little dazed: "In a blink of an eye, you are already eighteen years old. I remember that the day you were born happened to be a total solar eclipse. Your mother was in the delivery room. Your father, me, and your grandma
I was anxious outside when suddenly it got dark."
"The sun was blocked and the whole world fell into darkness."
"In the darkness, a rainbow flashed across the sky. What a coincidence, at this moment, a baby's cry came out, and then you were born..."
Ning Chen listened without interrupting the old man, even though he had heard this story told by the old man countless times.
Eighteen years ago, there was a total solar eclipse. The sky was pitch black, but there was a rainbow streaking across the sky, like a comet.
This sight shocked the whole world.
There has never been such a spectacle in recorded history. A total solar eclipse was accompanied by a comet. The rainbow became the only light between heaven and earth. Like a sharp sword that cut through the darkness, it passed through the sky and disappeared at the end of the darkness.
.
Countless astronomers have searched for the cause of this spectacle and tried to find traces of comets, but in the end found nothing.
However, from that day on, things began to change all over the world.
Terrifying creatures appeared in some places, such as gray wolves that looked like hills; giant crocodiles that rolled in the river like big boats; and terrifying birds with wings spread out for more than ten meters that streaked across the sky and a passenger plane.
The collision resulted in a tragedy...
In addition, abnormalities have also occurred among humans.
Someone suddenly awakens and possesses unbelievable power. He is so powerful that with one punch, he can break boulders weighing ten thousand kilograms and tear apart terrifying creatures alive.
Someone is holding a sword, and with one strike, the sword is invincible and cuts into two pieces the terrifying creature that rushes into the city to cause harm. The power is astonishing.
There are also people who suddenly possess terrible power and then do evil and run rampant. Officials dispatch law enforcement officers and cannot kill them with thermal weapons.
In the end, heavy weapons were used to bring him to justice...
Some people uphold justice, fight against terrorist creatures, protect cities and villages, and protect ordinary people from being massacred by terrorist creatures.
There are also some evil people who kill cruelly, and after gaining great power, they let themselves go and do evil.
And these people who suddenly possess great power are called "warriors"!
"Grandpa, let's eat cake."
After grandpa finished sighing, Ning Chen started cutting the cake.
"Okay, it's your birthday today, eat more." The old man smiled, watching his grandson grow up little by little, his eyes full of love.
"You can eat too." Ning Chen picked the best piece and gave it to his grandfather.
There were only two of them at home, and the cake was not finished yet. Ning Chen put it in the refrigerator so that he could continue to eat it tomorrow.
After finishing the cake, Ning Chen ate two large bowls of rice. Martial arts training is not easy, it consumes a lot of energy and needs to replenish a huge amount of energy.
After clearing the table, grandpa went back to the house to rest. Ning Chen also returned to the room, practicing pile skills and reviewing textbooks.
Admissions to martial arts colleges are not only based on martial arts test scores, but also on cultural class scores. Poor cultural classes are not acceptable.
"Tsk, tsk, I have to say that the world has changed so much in the past eighteen years." Ning Chen walked steadily, holding the textbook in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh while reading.
Cultural courses include Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.
There is no foreign language, after all, times have changed.
At the same time, the proportion of history in the college entrance examination has increased. History of the Xia Dynasty and world history are all key contents to be tested. In particular, the historical changes and some major events in the past eighteen years have become compulsory subjects in the examination.
"Eighteen years ago, there was a total solar eclipse, terrorist creatures appeared, and terrible terrorist creatures attacked various places..."
"These terrifying creatures are terrifying. They are like ancient behemoths with astonishing destructive power. Some are not even afraid of thermal weapons. Ordinary people are like ants in front of them."
"Since then, in order to resist the invasion of terrorist creatures, Daxia has made a series of reforms to improve the status of warriors and give them privileges. While enjoying the privileges, they also need to shoulder the mission of fighting against terrorist creatures."
Ning Chen was shocked as he read it: "What a terrible creature! Fortunately, we humans also have warriors. Well, I want to become a warrior too!"
Some terrifying creatures are extremely powerful and are not afraid of hot weapons. Only warriors can compete with them. Therefore, most of the local officials and army officers in Daxia are now warriors.
Moreover, Daxia reformed the education system.
Establish martial arts halls in major schools and set up specialized martial arts training classes to teach martial arts and cultivate young martial artists.
At the same time, in addition to the college entrance examination, a martial arts examination will be added. For these martial artist seedlings, the outstanding ones will be selected to enter the martial arts academy and cultivate them into martial arts.
Total solar eclipse, terrifying creatures, warriors, martial arts training classes, martial arts exams, martial arts academies... nouns flashed through Ning Chen's mind.
