Chapter 56 Monthly Exam
After Shu Han and Chen Shao left the dormitory, they returned to Fenxin Society, where many members were waiting for them.
After Shu Han met everyone, he told them about what he had seen with Chen Chuan. When the members heard that Chen Chuan was not under any threat and that giving up Xuan Xiang Jin was entirely his own decision, many of them were stunned and at the same time angry at Chen Chuan for not fighting back.
A senior member said solemnly, "This matter cannot end like this. As seniors, we cannot watch him squander his talent like this. We have the responsibility and obligation to correct him and put him on the right path."
Some were even surprised, saying, "This junior has only been enrolled for about half a month, right? And he's already defeated Shu Han. He's truly incredibly talented."
"This shows that his physical fitness is very good and his talent is very outstanding. That's why he can do such a thing without practicing any strength. Alas, with such talent, it's not much different from what my senior had in the past. Why did he give up like this? What a pity! If he was willing to accept the Xuanxiang Jinfa, I dare not imagine what heights he could have reached."
The members all agreed. Such a talented person was born to practice Xuanxiang Jinfa, just like the senior from back then. How could he waste his talent like this? This must be persuaded and corrected.
But someone raised a key question: "After all, he himself doesn't want to do this, so what else can we do?"
"That's because he doesn't realize what he's shouldering yet. Why don't we ask him out for a talk? If we explain things to him, he should understand." A slightly older student suggested.
"But will he come? From what Shu Han said, he spends the whole day training in the dormitory and rarely comes out. Given the current situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to see him even if we go to the dormitory."
Although bringing food into the dormitory is not allowed, this only restricts students and not the instructors. So theoretically, if Chen Chuan doesn't want to come out, he can stay there. As long as he says hello to the dormitory manager, they will be stopped outside.
"He can't stay in the dormitory all the time. There's always a chance."
"I think we can do this..." One member suggested, "The monthly exam is coming up soon, and he'll definitely come out by then. Maybe we can use this time to talk to him?"
One of the core members thought about it carefully and said, "That's a feasible solution. I'll go find the teacher above me and arrange this matter. I'll have a talk with him. We can't let him continue to act so willfully."
"But what if he doesn't want to listen?"
"Then talk to him about the principles between us fighters." A voice came.
The members turned around and saw a senior student standing at the door. They immediately greeted him by calling him "senior" or "deputy president".
A senior student came over and said slowly, "He's only just entered the school and hasn't seen much yet. As long as he realizes that there's a gap between force and violence, I believe he'll correct his thinking."
Inside the dormitory, Chen Chuan was completely immersed in training. During the day, he used regular free-hand fighting to establish stances, and combined medication with breathing techniques. At night, he practiced breathing techniques, and used his second self to remove the burden and damage brought by medication, stances, and breathing techniques.
He was training non-stop like this and he didn't even notice the passage of time. When Cheng Zitong told him he could take a break, he realized it was already the end of the month.
Cheng Zitong saw that he was still unsatisfied and said with a smile, "You are such a hardworking student. There is no need to rush. You have only been enrolled for a month and there is still a whole semester ahead of you. Take your time. It is already the end of the month and every student has to take the monthly exam. The instructor also has to show up. I will take you to take the exam tomorrow."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Teacher, I wonder what the content of this monthly exam is?"
Cheng Zitong said, "Monthly exams are usually for instructors to set questions for each other's students. I've never been an instructor before, so I'm not familiar with the specific process. But it doesn't matter. The teachers at school have to give me some face, and your ability is there, so it shouldn't be difficult to pass."
Chen Chuan nodded to show that he understood. Shu Han had also mentioned this to him when they met before. The monthly exams were actually just set up to prevent students from being too lazy.
There is really nothing to worry about the monthly exams. Even if someone makes things difficult for you, it is of no use. Failure will not result in a downgrade. Only the midterm and final exams are the most critical.
Moreover, because the instructors set questions for each other, if someone deliberately makes things difficult for his or her students, then next time he or she will have to be careful about his or her students being made difficult by others. This kind of thing is not worth the loss and does not make much sense, so generally there is a tacit understanding between the instructors.
He asked, "I wonder what time it will be tomorrow?"
Cheng Zitong said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. It shouldn't take long."
At the same time, in the Beifeng Garden Villa, on the tree-lined lawn, several painters were painting for several members and backbones of the mutual aid society, while their attendants were carrying plates, bringing drinks, fruits and snacks, and someone was playing a melodious violin nearby.
An attendant walked up to Senior Jiang, bowed, and whispered something in his ear. Senior Jiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Is the Fenxin Society planning to persuade him?"
Although the two spoke in low voices, everyone present was in excellent physical condition and almost everyone heard it. One of them took a drink from a passing attendant's tray, took a sip, walked over, sat down, and said, "Brother Jiang, is the news that the boy didn't choose Xuan Xiang Jin true? Don't tell me it's just a play they wrote and performed."
Someone chimed in, "Exactly. Xuan Xiang Jin has its own special features. After selection, it must be filed with the Executive Office and the Principal's Office. But Gao Ping and Cheng Zitong didn't go there, so it's definitely not Xuan Xiang Jin. You know, giving people Jin techniques to practice without permission is against the academy's rules. They wouldn't do that."
Someone else said, "When he rejected Yu Ruizhi's offer that day, I thought he would learn Xuanxiang Jin like that guy back then. I never expected that. He's a smart guy."
At first, the recommender said jokingly, "Perhaps it's because he heard about what happened two years ago that he doesn't dare to make such a choice? But..." He put down his cup and said, "Brother Jiang, if the Fenxin Society asked him to make the choice, do you think he would accept it?"
Senior Jiang smiled and said, "We'll know the outcome after this wonderful show starts tomorrow."
The next day, Chen Chuan wore a formal student suit and left the dormitory building. The sun was very bright today, and the sound of birds singing could be heard from Chunqiu Lake.
After waiting for a while, Cheng Zitong's car arrived. He walked over, opened the door, and got in. Then he heard Cheng Zitong say, "There are so many birds singing today. It seems that it is not so noisy usually. Are you not bothered by it?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Students are very focused during training, and generally the noise outside does not affect them."
"That's good."
Cheng Zitong started the car and drove Chen Chuan out of the dormitory building towards the south of the school. He said, "It has been decided. Teacher Ni Xiaolin will be your monthly exam examiner.
I've known Teacher Ni for a long time. Although this old lady always smiles at everyone, she always does things that are hard to understand, so you have to be more cautious."
Chen Chuan said: "Good teacher."
The car arrived in front of a training ground near a green shade. The environment here is good and it covers a large area. In addition to the training hall, there is also a small library next to it.
After the two got out of the car, Cheng Zitong led Chen Chuan inside. As soon as they got inside, they saw a young female assistant with a high ponytail, a tall figure, and strong legs coming over. She greeted them and said, "Senior Brother Cheng."
Cheng Zitong said, "Xiao Qiu, where is your teacher?"
Assistant Qiu said, "The teacher just got up and is tidying up..." She glanced at Chen Chuan and said, "This must be my senior's student, right? Why don't we let him take the exam first?"
Cheng Zitong hesitated, and Chen Chuan said, "Teacher Cheng, you have something to do first. I will go take the exam first."
Cheng Zitong thought about it and said, "Okay." He patted his shoulder again.
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Teacher, don't worry."
Assistant Qiu gestured toward the right corridor, saying, "This way." Then she led the way. Chen Chuan followed her inside, turning two corners until they reached a corridor lined with green plants. At the end, Assistant Qiu pushed open two doors, and Chen Chuan followed her in.
But he found that there were nearly twenty senior students sitting or standing here, some of them were wearing student uniforms, and some were wearing school training uniforms, all of them were looking at him silently.
Assistant Qiu said, "This is your test. No matter what method you use, if you make them give up or find a way out on their own, you will pass." After saying that, he walked to the side, folded his arms, and leaned against the wall.
