In Court A, fifty people have become familiar with each other after spending half a month together.

At least we can call each other by name.

"Yuanzhao, you guys from Shenjiang Mansion are really awesome. You are obviously a new student, but you almost made it to the top ten."

Sitting on the grass, the slender Du Yueqiu sighed to Li Yuanzhao.

She is an old student, she is eighteen years old, the most beautiful age, but she is already considered an "elderly" in Hospital A.

Before the start of school, she was still in the top ten of the martial arts rankings, but now she is ranked outside the fifteenth place.

It's just that the freshmen in this class are so fierce. There are seven from the Divine General's Mansion alone, and there are two princes from the royal family, not to mention.

In addition, there are children of a certain grandmaster and princesses of a certain city, all with terrifying backgrounds, totaling thirteen in total.

They, the old students, have practiced hard for many years before they have reached the perfection of the Zhoutian realm, while these new students have already reached the perfection of the Zhoutian realm when they arrive, or they are close to it and come to school with strong family backgrounds.

Moreover, although their realms were the same, there was a gap in the levels of Luck Method and Pulse Opening Method they practiced, resulting in a power difference that was almost doubled. They were no match at all, and were severely intimidated by these descendants of the supreme authority of Dayu.

"It's okay, I'm only sixth, not even close." Li Yuanzhao said, scratching his head.

"..."

Du Qiuyue was speechless.

Next to him, Zheng Bai, another young master from a well-known family in Liangzhou, smiled bitterly.

Also a freshman, he was only ranked 38th.

The only ones who can bully the old students are these guys with great backgrounds. They, the children of aristocratic families, still have to behave and accept the teachings of the old students.

Inside the venue, someone was exchanging skills.

Du Qiuyue looked at the martial arts list with complicated eyes.

Now among the top five, only one old student is struggling to support himself, which seems to represent the last dignity of these old students.

The two princes ranked first and second respectively. The royal family's Pulse Pulsing Technique and Luck Technique are unique in the world. As a prince, it is natural for him to practice them.

The third ranked person is Wang Han from General Tianzhao's Mansion. Seeing this name, Du Qiuyue's eyes changed slightly. Apart from the prince, the most feared person in Courtyard A is currently Wang Han.

Although he is only fifteen years old, his attacks are fierce and decisive, and his moves are ferocious. He is completely unlike others. He looks like he has experienced the baptism of blood and fire.

Someone found out that Wang Han seemed to have served in the Qianhe Division for a year.

Ranked fourth is the grandmaster's daughter. It is said that she has understood the heart of the sword and her sword skills are superb and extremely terrifying.

Ranked fifth is the old student, who was once number one in the martial arts rankings, and his marksmanship has reached the top level of perfection. He fought with Li Yuanzhao yesterday and won by half a move.

Next to him, Li Yuanzhao ranked sixth, followed by his two brothers and sisters, Li Yun and Li Zhining.

"Strange, your brother Hao, why isn't he here?"

Du Qiuyue shifted her gaze, scanned around the courtyard, and asked curiously.

She was more interested in that Li Hao. After all, she heard Li Yuanzhao talking about Brother Hao next to her. When the two of them were together, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Yuanzhao respected the boy who was similar to him very much.

This is surprising.

However, every time the lecture ended, the man would run away as fast as he could to go to the latrine.

In their spontaneous discussions and exchanges, martial arts ranking challenges, etc., they never see each other's shadow, just like people who are outside the first courtyard.

Even when she was teaching, every time she glanced over, she would see that the other person was either sleeping on his stomach, or holding something like a book and taking notes.

So diligent? At first, she secretly admired him, but then she accidentally saw it and realized that there was not even a single word in the book. They were all sketches.

The paintings are all ferocious monsters, and they all seem to be from the aquatic tribe...

In addition, there are also paintings by Teacher Su Ye, many of which are interspersed. Some of the paintings have cat ears, tails, etc., making Teacher Su Ye look like a demon that has not fully transformed.

This is graffiti.

But despite this, Du Qiuyue could still see that this painting was exquisite and lifelike, and it could not be done casually. It must have taken hard work.

However, everyone is a warrior, so who has this spare time to use elsewhere?

"Brother Hao should have gone to play." Li Yuanzhao said disapprovingly.

He has long been accustomed to Li Hao's style, and he is practicing with them? Just kidding, the aunt tried to persuade him, but he didn't even see the shadow of Brother Hao in the martial arts arena.

Ever since he was young, Brother Hao has never hung out with his peers unless they took the initiative to find him.

"Playing..." Du Qiuyue and Zheng Bai were both dumbfounded when they heard Li Yuanzhao speak so easily.

From the whips on their buttocks to the canes on their backs, the word "hard work" has already been engraved on them.

play?

They also want to, but don't dare.

In the words of their father:

"What you are playing with now is time, but what you will play with in the future is your life!"

“If you don’t endure hardships, how can you become a master?”

"The prosperity of our family depends entirely on you. How can you be so lazy and lethargic as your ancestors?!"

"Play" is such a frivolous word, but it is so far away from them, like a taboo, unspeakable.

"Won't he participate in the martial arts rankings? If so, he will be challenged by the disciples of the Second Academy, and he will be demoted to the Second Academy." Du Qiuyue hesitated.

Li Yuanzhao opened his eyes slightly angrily: "Who dares! If anyone challenges Brother Hao then, I will demote him to the second hospital and challenge him again!"

Du Qiuyue: "..."

Zheng Bai: "..."

Good guy, this is too overbearing.

"Behind you is the Divine General's Mansion, and no one should be willing to challenge you. But in the test of the Minghe War in a year's time, you can only rely on yourself."

Du Qiuyue said angrily: "For the task of slaying monsters outside, we can also rely on the adults in the family to secretly send experts to protect us, but we can only rely on ourselves in the Minghe River Battle Realm, and we can't go with others. The Minghe River Battle Realm used for testing can only be done by ourselves."

One person can enter at a time.”

"That's true."

Li Yuanzhao frowned slightly and thought for a while: "Tell Brother Hao about this later."

Du Qiuyue was speechless. The young master of the Divine General's Mansion didn't take this matter to heart at all?

…

…

On the mountain behind Jiayuan, on a waterfall.

Two figures were sitting on the edge of the cliff at the top of the waterfall, drinking and playing chess, chatting and laughing.

Suddenly, a figure jumped up from the bottom of the waterfall, jumped over the dozens of feet high waterfall, and landed in front of the two of them without even a drop of water touching it. It was carrying two skewered hares in its hand.

"You kid..." Seeing the person coming, the two elders of the game laughed and immediately sniffed: "It smells so good!"

Li Hao handed the two roasted hares to the two elders and said with a smile: "Come and have a taste."

The two elders who played chess were Zhao Zongyuan and Shen Yunqing, both tutors of the First Academy. They had been completely conquered by Li Hao's delicious food in the past half month.

"Tsk, your craftsmanship is really amazing." Shen Yun took a bite and couldn't help but admire.

He and Zhao Zongyuan were both smiling and looking casual at the moment, but when teaching in the courtyard on weekdays, they showed serious dignity as teachers. Even the two princes had to be upright and behaved in front of them.

Although the prince is noble, the prince who can come to Tan Gong Academy to study may not be so favored. Maybe he may not live as long as them in the future, and the two of them do not need to be too groveling and flattering the golden order around their waists.

"I've already lost two games to you today. It's time for you to go back to practice martial arts, right?"

While Zhao Zongyuan was eating the hare, he couldn't help but said when he saw Li Hao who was eager to try.

Although he loves to play chess... he doesn't like to lose all the time.

It's still more comfortable to play chess with Fatty Shen. You don't have to worry too much and you can still win.

"Martial arts training is boring, and it's not the martial arts of Black and White Palace." Li Hao said.

"I wanted to learn something unique when I first came here, but you think so."

Both of them shook their heads in helplessness towards Li Hao. When Li Hao asked them to play chess before, they had tested Li Hao's skills. He was not a slutty playboy, and was even better than most people in the First Academy.

But this kid was not interested in practicing martial arts at all. When they were playing chess, they occasionally wanted to give Li Hao some guidance and give him some pointers, but the result was not good and he was taught a lesson:

"We're almost lost, do you still have time to talk to me about anything else?"

"Can you be more serious and pick up the chess pieces? Pick up the chess pieces!"

"How about I give you five eyes?"

The two elders were a bit defensive, and they both hated and loved Li Hao.

"Mr. Shen, wine."

Li Hao nuzzled at Shen Yunqing's waist: "I lost two mouthfuls today, and I haven't even given you yet."

The corner of Shen Yunqing's mouth twitched. Originally, it was only given to Zhao Zongyuan, but now he has a small mouth, and he can hardly drink the drunken wine for himself.
