28. School Investment

After a couple of hours of lecturing, the class ended.

Before Bai Heng left, he turned back and said to Chu Yan, "Student Chu Yan, please go to the principal room after school."

With Chu Yan's response, Bai Heng had already left. All the students who heard Bai Heng's words expressed envy and jealousy.

Who is the principal? One of the top martial arts experts in White River City.

Ignoring the student's expression, Chu Yan and Su Ming went out of the classroom to the cafeteria.

During eating, Chu Yan asked Su Ming, "Old Ming, you are the person who knows the most about gossip in the school; do you know why the principal wants to see me?"

Hearing the question, Su Ming shook his head and said, "Well, I don't know much about it, but it's probably a good thing. Don't worry; in fact, the principal is a kind person."

"How do you know?" Chu Yan asked subconciously.

"Well, the principal visited our pavillion a few times in the past. He even gave me an elixir," said Su Ming while slurping the noodles.

Chu Yan put his hand on his forehead. He almost forgot that Su Hai, Su Ming's father, is the same as the principal.

Ring!

After the school, Chu Yan went to the principal's office.

Even though Su Ming said the principal is a kind person, he is still a little nervous since he is a person full of secrets. Calming himself, he knocked on the office door. Immediately, he heard a voice.

"Come in."

After Chu Yan came in, what he saw was an old man with a wrinkled face. After seeing the principal, Chu Yan said respectfully, "Student Chu Yan, pay respect to the principal." 

"Hahaha, student Chu Yan, you don't have to be so formal. Come and sit."

Chu Yan come and sit in the sofa. After that, the principal said, "This is a first time we meet right?"

"Yes principal."

"Well then, my name is Qin Wu. To cut the chase, the reason I called you here is to provide the resources to you. The resources are 1 million federal coins and two yellow-level, low-grade martial arts techniques. This is the investment from school for you. Student Chu Yan, will you accept it?" asked Qin Wu while smiling at Chu Yan.

Hearing this, Chu Yan was stunned. He thought the reason the principal called him here was to ask about the rapid increase in his strength. After some thought, it made sense to Chu Yan. Since the principal is a friend of Su Hai, he should tell the principal about Chu Yan's 'talent'.

Still, Chu Yan asked," May I ask the reason?"

"Technically, the school won't invest in the students, even if they are talented. The reason is that most talented students have a good background, but you do not. The strength you show is purely your talent. 

If you have the same resources as all the students here, your cultivation will surely soar. This is the reason why the school decided to invest in you," said Qin Wu with a smile.

"If so, then I gladly accept it, principal."

After considering the pros and cons, Chu Yan accepted the investment.

"Very good!"

Immediately, principal put five book in front of Chu Yan.

"In front of you are five yellow-level low-grade martial techniques: the Wind Shadow Step, Gale Force Fist, Serpent Staff, Phoenix Wing Slash, and Phantom Mirage Steps. You can review and choose which two of them are suitable for you," said Qin Wu.

Taking the five martial books, Chu Yan starts reviewing them one by one. Among these five books, there are three offensive skills, while the remaining two are movement skills. It can be said that these two types of martial arts are the ones Chu Yan needed the most.

Phoenix Wing Slash, This technique involves channeling Qi into the sword to unleash a slashing attack imbued with fiery energy, resembling the swift and sweeping motion of a phoenix's wing.

This technique is suitable for Chu Yan, but what he needs the most is bare-handed combat skill and movement. Chu Yan already has the Gale Wind Sword Technique, so he immediately put aside this skill.

After some consideration, Chu Yan chose the Wind Shadow Step and Gale Force Fist techniques. One of the reasons is that these two techniques are very compatible with the Gale Wind Sword Technique, since all these techniques share the same property, which is wind.

As for the serpent staff technique, he didn't consider it at all. The reason is that this technique is only suitable for spears or staff weapons.

"Good choice; it seems like you already have your own plan. You can learn it for a month. After that, return it back to me. As for the money, I will send it to you afterward." said Qin Wu.

"Thank you, principal. Is there anything else I can do?" asked Chu Yan.

"That's all. I hope you can become as strong as possible, taking the No. 1 sport in the ranking," said Qin Wu.

"I will do my best," said Chu Yan as he cupped his fist.

As soon as Chu Yan left, Qin Wu glanced at his back and muttered, "What an interesting kid."

After that, Qin Wu resumed his work.
