Li Yuans heart skipped a beat as he listened.

  Rush into the top ten, first-class scholarship of 100,000 Blue Star Coins?

  Top five, special scholarship of 500,000 Blue Star Coins?

  Its Azure Star Coin!

  If Li Yuan remembered correctly, Aunties annual salary as a middle school teacher was around 100,000 Blue Star coins.

  Like an uncle, if you dont choose to be dispatched to some dangerous places, the annual salary will also be in the millions of Blue Star coins.

  "Teacher, really?" Li Yuan asked subconsciously.

  No wonder Li Yuan is like this.

  He is more mature and has a good temperament.

  After all, he was still a seventeen-year-old boy. In his mind, 100,000 Blue Star Coins were already a huge fortune.

  "Would I still cheat you?"

  Xu Bos voice remained cold: "The reward is naturally true, but dont say top five in the grade, at the beginning of the year when the exam comes, can your martial arts score rush to the top ten in the grade?"

  Li Yuan also calmed down.

  Yes!

  No matter how good the reward is, its useless if you cant get your hands on it.

  If its within the top twenty of the grade, Li Yuan thought there was still hope, but within the top ten? The hope is indeed very small.

  The most important reason is the martial arts spirit... Students who awaken their spiritual energy have a 10% score bonus in martial arts, which is too great an advantage.

  Li Yuan scored 900 points, and students in the elite class only need a bare score of 820 points to surpass Li Yuan.

  "The first ten were indeed difficult, but you still have some hope."

  "Also, Ive been working hard with the principal to get you a deal. Even if you cant make it into the top ten, as long as your raw score is second in the grade, well give you some additional assistance, although it wont be as good as a scholarship."

  "Second in class?" Li Yuans heart suddenly reignited with hope.

  In the last final exam, I was already sixth in grade with a bare score.

  Raw score second? Hope is instead among top ten overall scores.

  "Thank you, teacher." Li Yuan said from his heart, he only felt that Xi Bo teacher seemed to be cold and unfeeling on the surface, but was actually warm inside, treating him extremely well.

  "Its so late, go home and rest."

  "Tomorrow when you arrive at school, youll have permission to go to the independent martial arts room. Youll receive the specific number tomorrow." Xu Bo waved his hand.

  "Yes." Li Yuan nodded and left the office.

  And take the door with you.

  Listening to Li Yuans faint footsteps fading away, Xu Bos cold face revealed a hint of a smile: "Seeking the best and getting the middle, seeking the middle and getting the worst, seeking the worst and getting nothing."

  "Kid, dont blame me when you find out the truth later."

  Xu Bo has been observing Li Yuan for so long and knows that Li Yuan is steady in temperament and diligent in his cultivation.

  But Xu Bo knew human nature even better, and that with a certain amount of pressure and temptation, one could unleash even greater motivation.

  Drawing cakes!

  Just cant set the bar too high, or it will be out of reach and disappointing, so finally Xu Bo gave Li Yuan a goal of second place.

  "Three goals."

  "Kid, if you just reach the middle goal, its actually top-notch." Xu Bo whispered: "Hope, dont let me down."

  This class of two thousand students, Li Yuan was the second one to catch his eye.

  ……

  Wanhua Bao Gongguan, two buildings.

  "Mu Hua, this month we have to spend 20,000 Blue Star Coins?" Li Yuan said in his own room.

  My heart feels heavy.

  Although Aunt Chen Hui had just avoided Li Yuan and was quietly chatting with her brother Li Mu Hua in the master bedroom, intentionally not wanting to let herself hear... but Li Yuans hearing is too good now.

  Standing in the living room, I still vaguely heard something.

  "I make at least 30,000 a month, Muhua also needs about 30,000, and Qianqian also needs almost 20,000... plus daily expenses..." Li Yuan had calculated this account in his heart countless times.

  Household expenses, at least 900,000 Blue Star Coins per month.

  In fact, the three children, if they didnt practice martial arts, could have been fully supported by their uncle and aunts conditions... but at the same time, purchasing various supplements and medicinal aids to assist in practicing martial arts, the expenses were truly astonishing.

  Besides, Xixi and Muhua are no better than me.

  "I have awakened the spiritual palace, and the Observing the Great Day Starry Sky Scripture has a relaxing and therapeutic effect on the body, which is probably worth more than a months worth of high-end therapy that costs tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan was well aware: "And Xianxian and Muhua, especially Muhua."

  "If you want to achieve great success in martial arts, relying solely on the resources invested now is not enough."

  "This scholarship is worth 100,000 Blue Star Coins."

  "Over the weekend, I must rush to the Golden Section 500 points and get another 50,000 Blue Star Coins." Li Yuan made up his mind.

  What about Teacher Xu Bos three promises?

  On the way back by streetcar, Li Yuan calmed down and had thought it through clearly.

  "Five hundred thousand Blue Star Coins!"

  "If I could get it, the economic pressure at home would be alleviated by more than half."

  "Just top five in the grade?" Li Yuan thought for a moment, and his heart sank to the bottom.

  On the way home.

  Through the smart ring chart, Li Yuan re-examined the ranking of the second semester final exam in high school.

  His martial arts score is 802 points, ranking sixth in his grade and twenty-ninth overall.

  The top five students in the grade are all elite class students, and their bare scores are all over 800 points. When adding bonus points... The total score of the first place in the grade even reached an astonishing 962.5 points!

  "The top student in our grade is too formidable, I have no hope."

  "Unconsciously awakened to the spiritual essence of martial arts, my naked body is the total score."

  "To rush into the top five in grade, the bare score must be at least 860 points, and there is a glimmer of hope." Li Yuan whispered: "Even if its in the top ten in grade, the bare score should be above 840 points."

  840 points naked.

  Already ranked second in the grade with a bare score at the end of the second semester of high school.

  "Good luck."

  "When the winter exam comes, strive for a physical fitness score of over 410 points, martial arts skills score of over 375 points, and cultural course score of over 75 points." Li Yuan set three single-subject goals for himself.

  Everything must be achieved.

  There is only a glimmer of hope to reach the top five in the grade.

  ……

  Master bedroom, Chen Hui-zheng and Li Chang-chou are on a video call.

  "Wife, did you receive the money?" Li Changzhous face turned even darker.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Dont worry, Ill plan it well at home." Aunt Chen Hui nodded: "This 500,000, plus the previous one at home, will be enough until February or March next year."

  "Uh-huh." Li Changzhou smiled and said, "Dont worry too much, dear. By the end of the year, the company will give us a bonus, plus my salary... Once Xiaoyuan finishes his college entrance exam, well be fine."

  Chen Hui nodded and forced a smile, trying to make herself appear more relaxed.

  Suddenly.

  "Hmm?" The other end of the video call suddenly shook violently, and Li Changzhou, who was originally sitting in his chair, suddenly stood up.

  "Bang!" In the video, the slightly ajar door was suddenly knocked open, and a huge explosion could be faintly heard outside.

  "Manager Li, hurry! Hurry!" A worker wearing a work uniform and covered in mud rushed in and said urgently: "The top has ordered our team to end the break and rush up immediately."

  "Okay."

  Li Changzhou nodded repeatedly and turned his head to Chen Hui on the other end of the video call: "Honey, I have to work overtime. Ill call you back later."

  Buzz——video call dropped.

  "Old Li." Chen Huis face showed a hint of worry, and she immediately shut off her smart ring.

  Close your eyes.

  Opening her eyes again, Chen Huis face had regained its calmness. She walked out of the master bedroom: "Qianqian, Xiaohua, you two go to sleep quickly."

  "Xiao Yuan, dont make it too late either."

  "Okay, mom!"

  "Got it, Auntie."

  ……

  The next day at noon.

  The school cafeteria, students are all eating, occasionally looking up at the news on the electronic big screen.

  "...Last night, a fierce clash broke out again in the Second Star Boundary of Robu Sea in Beijiang Province. Our national defense army and the Alliance Support Army fought bravely..." The news kept playing.

  "Keep hitting."

  "Its been non-stop during this time, I heard many people have died, and even some stellar creatures broke through the defense lines."

  "I hope we can hold on." The students whispered to each other while eating.

  Li Yuan sat beside Zhou Qi, silent and motionless, occasionally glancing at the news with a hint of worry in his eyes.
