17: Talent training camp begins

During the sparring match, the Principal of No. 7 High School focused entirely on defense, knowing he was no match for Yu Xiu. His defense was merely to minimize his injuries.

"Thank you for the guidance!"

At this moment, the Principal of No. 7 High School was bruised and swollen; to be precise, there wasn't a single spot of skin under his clothes that was intact.

However, Yu Xiu had no intention to kill the Principal of No. 7 High School; he was merely letting off some steam.

"It... hiss... it was nothing."

The moment the Principal of No. 7 High School opened his mouth, he immediately gasped in pain.

He knew then that he had survived this ordeal, and Yu Xiu would no longer trouble him.

Although he lost some Face, everything was worth it, as his life was preserved.

"Sigh!" Seeing Yu Xiu turn and leave, the Principal of No. 7 High School sighed softly, then limped towards the high platform.

...

"Brother, you're so amazing." Yu Qianqian's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Although she didn't yet understand what a Great Grandmaster meant, her brother's ability to defeat the Principal already proved everything.

Furthermore, Yu Qianqian could clearly feel the expressions of the students present and their reverence for her brother.

"Little clever one!" Yu Xiu smiled and patted Yu Qianqian's head, then said to Yang Duling, "Thank you for taking care of Qianqian, and also for the defensive necklace earlier."

"I didn't help much." Yang Duling shook her head and said, "I just never expected you to be a Great Grandmaster. You really kept it hidden deep."

"I'm very curious, earlier in the testing room, your Qi and blood were clearly that of a Two-Star Grandmaster. How did you suddenly become a Great Grandmaster?"

"Did you Breakthrough from a Two-Star Grandmaster to a Great Grandmaster within a single day?"

Yang Duling's last sentence was clearly a joke, just a playful remark.

"Why not?"

Yu Xiu smiled faintly and said, "I'll take my sister home first."

Yang Duling was stunned, watching Yu Xiu walk away, then mumbled, "Did Yu Xiu really Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster in one day?"

"Pfft, how could that be? How could I inexplicably believe that guy's nonsense?"

"But that guy is truly abnormal. He's only two months older than me, but his strength is as different as heaven and earth. I can't imagine how that guy Cultivates; it's too terrifying."

...

Back at the villa, his parents and aunt were still discussing the shop business.

Seeing the three of them return, they looked up and asked, "How did you come back so quickly?"

Before Yu Xiu could reply, Zhuang Wenya had already excitedly rushed over, chattering away.

"Mom and Dad, cousin is really amazing! He's actually a Great Grandmaster expert."

"And just now at school, he beat up both the Principal of No. 2 High School and the Principal of No. 7 High School."

"The Principal of No. 2 High School was knocked out, and the Principal of No. 7 High School was bruised and swollen."

"You know, the Principal is a Nine-Star Grandmaster, but cousin completely crushed him."

"Great Grandmaster?" Yu Xiu's father was the first to exclaim.

He had only known before that his son was a Grandmaster expert, and now, in a flash, he was a Great Grandmaster.

"Big Brother, didn't you just say that Xiaoxiu was a Grandmaster expert?" his aunt asked.

"I was also tricked by this kid."

Yu Xiu's father looked at Yu Xiu with a complex expression, momentarily at a loss for words.

Yu Xiu's impact on him was too great.

When he first learned that his son was a Grandmaster expert, although he appeared calm on the surface, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night.

Now, it was even better.

He was directly a Great Grandmaster again.

When did Cultivating Martial Arts become so easy?

A sixteen-year-old Great Grandmaster.

He thought of himself, now over forty, and still not a Martial Artist.

Could it be a gene mutation?

"Big Brother, no matter what, Xiaoxiu becoming a Great Grandmaster is a huge joyous occasion; we must celebrate!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wenya happily said, "Great, we can eat meat again."

"You go back to class!"

"Mom, let's go tomorrow!"

"No, if you don't go to class, will your teacher let you off?"

Zhuang Wenya giggled, "Don't worry, with cousin here, our homeroom teacher won't say much. Let alone our homeroom teacher, even the Principal has to give cousin Face."

"Cousin is cousin, and you are you. If you were also a Great Grandmaster, then I wouldn't bother with you."

Do you think Great Grandmasters are like cabbages, something you can Breakthrough to just by opening your mouth?

Seeing that her mother wasn't buying it, Zhuang Wenya immediately put on a pitiful expression and looked at Yu Xiu.

"Cousin, I want to eat meat."

Yu Xiu chuckled, "Aunt, there's an event at school this afternoon, Wen Ya doesn't need to attend classes. It's fine if she goes tomorrow."

"Alright then!"

His aunt finally relented, then said, "You stay at home. Your sister-in-law and I will go out to buy ingredients. We'll celebrate tonight."

...

Three days had passed since the last celebration.

During this time, his parents and aunt, among others, were busy from morning till night, working tirelessly.

Thus, the important task of looking after his sister and Zhuang Wenya was completely entrusted to Yu Xiu.

"Mom and Dad, after I go to school today, I might have to go to the Genius Training Camp. I don't know how long I'll be gone!"

"Don't be busy with the shop all day; pay more attention to Qianqian here."

"Yesterday, I already gave Qianqian the spiritual material that nourishes flesh and blood. I estimate it won't be long before Qianqian can stand up."

His father nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't worry. We've already finalized the shop matters, and we won't be as busy from now on."

"Let your mom take care of Qianqian at home; you don't need to worry."

Beside him, Zhuang Wenya also chimed in, "Cousin, Qianqian and I already discussed it earlier. We plan to take her to class together, and our homeroom teacher has already agreed."

"You don't need to worry about Qianqian being bullied. I'm the big sister of No. 1 High School now; hardly anyone dares to bully me."

"If anything happens, I'll immediately contact Senior Sister Yang. If she can't handle it, I'll go find the Principal. Don't worry!"

Yu Xiu rolled his eyes, "You really are a little clever one. Yang Duling is also going to participate in the Genius Training Camp with me."

"Oh, that's right!" Zhuang Wenya gave an awkward smile, "Anyway, don't worry. With me here, I guarantee no one can bully Qianqian."

Regarding this, Yu Xiu genuinely wasn't worried.

In this small area of No. 1 High School, whether it was students or teachers, they all had to give him some Face.

Actually, he was just worried that his sister would be bored.

Now that his cousin would take her to class, Yu Xiu was completely at ease.

"When you start Cultivating Martial Arts in your second year of high school, cousin will give you a big gift."

Yu Xiu smiled, then bid farewell to his family and headed straight for No. 1 High School.

At the school gate!

The bus to transport students to the Genius Training Camp was already ready.

Parents who came to send off their children were everywhere, truly a sea of people.

"Yu Xiu!"

The Principal saw Yu Xiu from afar and immediately called out, waving to him.

However, this one shout made the originally noisy scene instantly fall silent.

Whether it was students or parents, all eyes were focused on Yu Xiu.

Clearly, after the last selection competition, Yu Xiu had become completely famous.

During this period, reporters from Jiangtan City had even wanted to interview him, but Yu Xiu rejected them all.

In the end, he had no choice but to seek help from the mayor to finally get rid of all the reporters.
