Neuropathy!
Fang Shuwen was speechless as he watched Guo Ziming leave with his head held high, as if he had won a battle.
This guy is a rich young master, how come he's acting like a child?
But on second thought,
The other person really is a child who hasn't grown up.
Alright, no need to lower myself to the level of this kid.
He shook his head and then focused on the dry rice.
.......
Time flew by and it was already afternoon.
The physical education assessment began in the center of the school playground.
"This afternoon's physical education assessment is quite demanding!"
When Fang Shuwen arrived, he found that there were already many people on the playground.
The boys gathered in twos and threes near the stone lock area, competing with each other.
Most of the girls stood under the shade of trees on the edge of the playground, some stretching their legs, others whispering among themselves.
A row of long tables was set up under the sunshade on the east side of the playground. The tables were covered with brand-new blue cloths and had rosters and tea on them.
Sitting in the middle is Principal Qian Jun, with Vice Principal Liu Weian and Director of Academic Affairs Zhou Changping on either side.
There was another person sitting at the very edge, wearing a dark blue martial arts uniform with a crossed double sword pattern embroidered on the chest.
His expression was cold and stern, and his gaze swept over the students in the room like that of a hawk.
Fang Shuwen had never seen this person before, but judging from the mark on his chest, he should be from the Xikou County Martial Arts Academy.
"It's just an unusual physical education test, why did the National Martial Arts Academy send someone over in person?"
Fang Shuwen felt a surge of curiosity.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Yan New Kingdom, the Central Martial Arts Academy Sports Training Institute was set up in the capital city of Shenjing, which is now the Central Martial Arts Academy.
For more than a decade, the influence of the National Martial Arts Academy has spread outwards from the capital like vines.
First, establish branch libraries in the provincial capitals, and then expand to the prefectures and counties.
The National Martial Arts Academy in Xikou County was only established three years ago.
In name, the National Martial Arts Academy's mission is to "develop traditional Chinese martial arts and revitalize the national physique."
But in reality, it was the control over the teaching of martial arts in various regions.
Martial arts schools in various regions that wish to continue operating and teaching students must register with the National Martial Arts Academy, register their own martial arts manuals, and obtain approval before they can continue to operate.
Those who refuse to register will have their properties confiscated on charges of "possessing martial arts techniques and endangering public order."
In the first few years, several major martial arts schools in the south joined forces to boycott the event, resulting in several bloody incidents.
Later, the director of Shenghai Martial Arts Academy personally went south.
One man attacked seven major martial arts schools in one night, severely injuring all seven masters, two of whom died from their injuries.
From then on, no one dared to openly confront the National Martial Arts Academy anymore.
The martial arts world of Jiangnan gradually came under the jurisdiction of the National Martial Arts Academy.
Although the Xikou County Martial Arts Academy is only a county-level branch.
However, the master of the academy is said to have been transferred from the main academy in Shenghai. He is extremely powerful and is a grand martial artist in the late stage of internal strength.
In these three years,
Three of the original five martial arts schools in Xikou County have closed down, and the remaining two have changed their signs to "Designated Teaching Point of Xikou Martial Arts Academy".
Each month, 30% of the revenue of the martial arts academy is paid as a management fee.
The martial arts school where I studied for half a month was one of the schools that was restructured.
Students, quiet down!
Zhou Changping, the director of teaching, walked out from under the sunshade, holding a roster in his hand. His voice was amplified and spread throughout the entire playground.
He pushed up his round-framed glasses and glanced at all the students present.
"This physical education assessment was supervised throughout by Meng Zhenmeng, a special inspector from the Xikou County Martial Arts Academy."
"The assessment results will be included in the total score for college entrance, each accounting for 50% along with the academic score. Anyone who fails to meet the physical education standard will be expelled."
As soon as he finished speaking, the playground erupted in chaos.
"Fifty percent? Didn't they say it would be 30%?"
"Turning 30% into 50%? Isn't that suicidal?"
"Oh no, oh no, I can get into the top three in academic subjects, but I probably won't even make the top twenty in physical education..."
Zhou Changping raised his hand to signal for quiet, then continued, "There is only one assessment item: the stone lock clean and jerk."
"Alright, time is limited, so let's skip the chit-chat."
"For the stone weightlifting, boys should start with 60 jin (30 kg) and girls with 40 jin (20 kg). If you can lift it for three breaths, you are considered qualified. For every additional 10 jin (5 kg) you lift, you will receive 10 more points."
"Next, those whose names are called, step forward!"
As soon as Zhou Changping finished speaking, the assessment began.
Several rows of stone weights were placed in the center of the playground, allowing ten people to be tested at a time.
The smallest of these stone locks weighed thirty jin (approximately 15 kg), while the largest one, placed at the very edge, had the word "three hundred" engraved on its dusty surface and was even larger than a human head.
Most boys weigh between 40 and 80 pounds.
Occasionally, someone would lift a stone weight weighing over 100 pounds, drawing gasps of amazement.
The situation was even worse for the girls; many couldn't even lift 40 pounds.
There's no way around it; these people will simply be eliminated.
Under the awning, Meng Zhen, the inspector of the martial arts academy, tapped his fingers on the lid of a teacup, the rhythm getting faster and faster.
"Xikou County Public Middle School is supposed to be the best school in the county, is this all it is?" he said indifferently.
Principal Qian Jun coughed twice, looking somewhat embarrassed, and didn't reply.
In previous years, physical education was always a key part of the assessment, and we have never placed this much emphasis on it.
Therefore, physical education classes were mostly just perfunctory.
Who knows what went wrong with the martial arts academy this year? They didn't even issue a notice.
They went directly to the school and changed the assessment plan, elevating the previously neglected physical education course to the same level as academic courses.
At this moment,
Turning to the next page of the roster, Zhou Changping's voice rose a few decibels: "Fang Shuwen!"
A commotion immediately broke out in the crowd.
"That Fang Shuwen who failed six out of seven subjects?"
"He used to barely pass physical education. Looking at how skinny he is, I'm afraid he couldn't even lift 40 pounds."
Guo Ziming crossed his arms and sneered, "He used to follow me around and couldn't even lift a bucket of water steadily. If he could lift forty pounds, I'd write my name Guo backwards."
A murmur of laughter rippled through the crowd.
Fang Shuwen stepped out from behind the crowd and paused as he passed Guo Ziming: "Guo, if I lift more than forty jin, don't bother with any 'write your name backwards' stuff, just give me fifty silver dollars!"
"Fine, let's bet then, I'm not afraid of you!" Guo Ziming was a super-rich second-generation in Xikou County.
With a gentle provocation from Fang Shuwen, Guo Ziming won the fight.
Fang Shuwen smiled, then walked straight towards the stone lock area without even turning his head.
Guo Ziming's face turned bright red, and his jaw clenched so tightly it made a grinding sound.
This kid really thinks he's got him cornered!
Given Fang Shuwen's frail appearance, he probably wouldn't even meet the minimum standards, let alone anything else.
Under the awning, Meng Zhen sat up slightly: "This student walks with a steady center of gravity and a bow-like spine; he's quite capable."
Fang Shuwen did not linger in front of the eighty-pound stone lock, nor did he look at the one hundred-pound one.
He walked past 100, then 120, and finally stopped in front of the 150-pound stone lock.
The laughter around them gradually subsided.
"What is he going to do? That's a 150-pound stone weight!"
"Without the strength to make a cracking sound, it's impossible to lift it."
the other side,
Guo Ziming looked at the scene before him and sneered:
"What are you pretending for? You'll have to slink back in a bit later."
