Chapter 216: Genius Headmaster
As soon as the principal's words came out, not only the two people who followed him, but even Li Mengdie and Kristin, who were about to leave, all had shocked expressions. Li Mengdie was already a little successful in cultivating the cold ice true qi, and her face still changed greatly when she heard the news.
"Look at what you all have become, this little thing will be surprised to be like this, so many years of training, have you done it in vain?" The principal is the principal after all, and one sentence makes everyone silent. Li Mengdie and Christine didn't have anything to say, and followed the two attachΓ©s who accompanied the principal, and quickly left the place.
Only Zhao Li and the principal are left here, although Zhao Li saluted the principal, but he never knew his military rank, however, it is conceivable that the principal's military rank will never be too low, and this salute is not a loss.
"Young man, follow me!" The principal looked easy-going, and gently patted Zhao Li's shoulder and motioned for him to come over. This is someone's territory, and Zhao Li has no objections, so he follows directly.
"I didn't expect the old guy to let you practice this exercise, but it's very bold!" It seemed that at the moment when he patted Zhao Li's shoulder gently, the principal had already seen through what kind of exercises Zhao Li was practicing. Just a simple sentence shocked Zhao Li and didn't know what to say. The old prison warden seemed to have to penetrate his internal force into Zhao Li's body to know Zhao Li's cultivation status, this principal just made it clear with a simple shot, is this a gap in practice?
"When you say old guy, do you mean the old warden?" After thinking about it, Zhao Li still felt that it was more appropriate to ask. The old man who can be called like this is by no means an ordinary person, and the principal of the genius school is not an ordinary person in the first place.
"Who else but him?" The principal smiled: "This exercise, he and I both fell in love with it back then, but I didn't dare to practice, after practicing this, I can't practice anything with other exercises, the gains outweigh the losses, I didn't expect him to let you practice." In one sentence, it simply said a certain relationship between the two of them before, but it also appropriately pointed out the characteristics of the nameless exercises practiced by Zhao Li, and in his tone, there was a bit of an inauthentic meaning of the old prison warden.
"His old man's cultivation, I dare not forget it for the rest of my life!" Come up and attack the heart? Zhao Li is no longer a junior brother who has just debuted, and he can still distinguish what he can listen to and what he can't hear. Although the characteristics of what the principal said were very correct, Zhao Li did not dare to believe what the principal said casually. The open and secret battle between the genius school and the traditional military is not a matter of time and a half, and it is normal to attack each other, but Zhao Li must clearly know which side he is.
"Looks like the old guy has a good eye for people." The principal and Zhao Li walked side by side, not in a hurry, and there seemed to be a special magic in their tone, which made people involuntarily calm and unable to produce irritable emotions. In front of him, it seems that there is not even the most basic battle **, let alone a murderous aura. Is this the master's demeanor that will only arise after the cultivation has reached a certain level?
Among the masters Zhao Li has seen, except for Ban Yunchan, who can make people feel peaceful and peaceful all the time, no one can make Zhao Li feel this way. However, Ban Yunchan is attracted by her beauty and conversation, and she will never have this terrifying ability to stand by her side and do nothing.
The old warden is a different style, standing in front of him, as if he will involuntarily obey his orders. The difference between the absolute rank and the lower ranks, Zhao Li believes that even if his military rank is now the same as that of the old prison warden, he will stand up and salute in front of the old man, just like the lieutenant general saluted the old prison warden.
"Many people think that the school for the gifted is a reading organization, which is in direct opposition to the traditional military policy." As he walked, the principal introduced Zhao Li in his bland but easily convincing tone: "Actually, this statement is very wrong. β
At this time, Zhao Li couldn't interject, listened honestly, and looked around curiously, as if he wanted to take all the scenery of the legendary magical genius school back with him.
"The genius school has mastered a large number of advanced exercises, but there are only a few that are promoted in the army." The principal also knew that Zhao Li wanted to see more, so his pace slowed down, and let Zhao Li observe slowly along the way. Someone in the distance saw the principal here with a lieutenant colonel scattering, all standing in the distance and saluting, and then quickly bypassed, not daring to disturb the two.
"The traditional military believes that we have usurped a lot of resources and have not shared them with the majority of people, which is a great rebellion, and this is an intention to monopolize high-end exercises and raise their value. But in reality, this is not the case. While Zhao Li watched, the principal was still continuing.
Hearing this, Zhao Li also had some thoughts, and turned to look at the principal. The principal smiled slightly: "Actually, this is not the case. Stretching out his hand, he walked out of the tarmac and into a building, and the principal deliberately pointed out the path to Zhao Li.
"There are a lot of high-end exercises here, but the conditions for cultivation are extremely harsh. Not only does it have almost perverted requirements in terms of qualifications, but even if the qualifications are suitable, the cultivation process is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, it will have very serious consequences, ranging from a complete waste of martial arts to a wasted person, or a death on the spot. Speaking of this, the principal also seemed to be a little gloomy: "How many outstanding students have paid the price of their lives on this road of exploration. This, presumably Christine and Li Mengdie have also told you, right? β
The principal's words made Zhao Li nod, this is not a secret, there is nothing worth keeping secret. Perhaps Keristine had already reported it to the principal.
"In the end, after the results of our experiments with countless geniuses, the safest and most reliable exercises will enter the ranks of the standard exercises of the military special forces." The two walked through a corridor, and at both ends of the corridor, there were neatly and densely pasted photographs, each of which was a bust of a young man in a military uniform, with a name and a year written underneath.
"These children are all people who have had an accident in the process of exploring." The principal stopped by the photo wall, and Zhao Li also looked at these young faces one by one, and had nothing to say for a while, and saluted at the photos on the wall.
A whole wall, a long corridor, I'm afraid there are thousands of people. How many people can be found in the genius school from the society and the army every year, in this way, the loss rate of the genius school is quite amazing, far more than the accident rate of a few percent as Li Mengdie said. Zhao Li stood by this wall, on the one hand, he admired the efforts of these people, but on the other hand, he was glad that he did not have the brains to join the genius school at that time.
"You're good." Seeing Zhao Li saluting, the principal suddenly said something inexplicable. It made Zhao Li a little confused. Saluting the fallen comrades-in-arms doesn't mean anything, does it?
"You didn't particularly reject our students, and you got along well, even entrusted with important tasks." The principal smiled and explained to Zhao Li: "You are the second person who can give these children to me fair treatment and let them show their talents." Others, using these children, are just because they are highly skilled and perform some dangerous tasks. β
When the principal said this, Zhao Li was embarrassed: "I also let them perform dangerous missions. He was referring to the blockade of the Golden Five Stars and the blowing up of the rebels' supply depots.
"That's different, young man!" The principal addressed the children to his students, but to Zhao Li, he only called the young people, and the intimacy was still very clear: "At least you were born and died with them, not sitting in the office or in the battleship and giving orders." The most important thing is that you don't treat them as a tool for martial arts, but as their partners, as their friends, and even as their lovers, which none of those guys in high positions do. β
When a friend is a partner, Zhao Li still feels normal when he listens to it, but when he hears the principal actually say that he loves him, Zhao Li can't help but blush, as if he had an affair with someone's youngest daughter and was caught by his parents. Could it be that Li Mengdie also reported this to the organization?
"Don't get me wrong!" As soon as the principal saw Zhao Li's face, he knew that he wanted to be crooked: "Xiao Li didn't tell me this. However, she is already broken, which cannot be hidden. Although my old eyes are not very good, I can still see the difference. β
As soon as the principal said this, Zhao Li's face became more and more red, and he was actually arrested, and he couldn't refute it.
"Actually, it's easy to guess that you can transfer the two of them to you, and it must be because you have a good impression of them." The principal turned a blind eye to Zhao Li's embarrassment: "Xiao Li's practice can't be easily broken, once someone has a relationship with her, she will definitely suck it up." Only a few unique exercises are able to resist. β
"Do you know that the exercises she practices have this effect?" Zhao Li was very surprised, if Li Mengdie didn't report, then it could only be explained that before Li Mengdie practiced, the principal knew the consequences. Since this is the case, he actually wants Li Mengdie to test, making it clear that he doesn't treat people as people, thinking of this, Zhao Li couldn't help but feel angry, and his tone became sharp: "Then you still want her to practice this kind of ghostly thing?" β
"There are many exercises that can be inferred from the approximate effect of simulated practice in one's own body." The principal was not surprised by Zhao Li's anger at all, and explained in a flat voice: "When everyone chooses the exercises, there will be people who will make it clear the possible effects and symptoms as well as the possible consequences of failure, and everyone is willing to practice, and we have not forced anyone. β
"After being brainwashed by you for a few years, how can there be anything involuntary?" Zhao Li put this sentence in his heart and did not say it. There are some things that cannot be said in the open, although everyone knows this truth.
"Although simulated practice can predict the approximate effect, it still needs human practice to verify it." The principal probably guessed Zhao Li's thoughts, so he didn't care, and continued to explain: "This is like pharmaceutical, the launch of a new drug has to go through a series of pathology, toxicology, biological experiments, etc., and finally a clinical trial must be conducted before the launch to determine the effect. And the introduction of a kind of exercise is even more demanding, and the specific cultivation conditions are countless times more responsible than those things. We sacrificed so many people, and we only succeeded in exporting sixteen high-level exercises. These are the results of these children's lives and futures. β
"This is especially true of folk exercises." The principal's words then remembered: "If there were no large number of students experimenting with their own bodies, there would be no introduction of basic physical fitness techniques, and there would be no introduction of folk exercises. In this society, as before, people will not be able to enjoy twice as long as before, nor will they have a stronger body. And we, the children, are the price of achieving these effects! They are heroes, the greatest heroes! β
After saying this, Zhao Li was speechless, if these people were not willing to give their lives, they would not have the current life. However, the truth is easy to understand, but it is another thing to put it on one's lover.
"The exercises you practice happen to be one of the ones that can resist Li Mengdie's domineering effect, so when I saw that she had broken her body, I wanted to meet you and see what kind of exercises you were practicing. Unexpectedly, it was still an old guy's housekeeper. Speaking of the old warden, the headmaster also seemed to want to laugh.
Zhao Li's mind moved: "Just now you said that I was the second person to give them fair treatment, who was the first one?" β
"Who else could there be, that old fellow." The principal still replied to Zhao Li with a smile. It's just that Zhao Li can't describe the relationship between the principal and the old prison warden, anyway, he feels like an enemy and a friend, and it's hard to be sure.
With these words, the two of them seemed to be walking past the photo wall. Further on, there was a huge ashram room. It is huge, because in this practice room, there are at least hundreds of small rooms that confess to practice and facilitate outside monitoring. It's just like Zhao Li's in the recruit training center, but it's several times larger and the equipment is more advanced.
Suddenly there were more people here. There are many people who are still working intensively here, and there are also students walking back and forth. However, when everyone passed by the principal and Zhao Li, they had to salute silently and walk away, without disturbing the two of them in the slightest.
"I've always been very interested in the old man's exercises, can you satisfy my old man's curiosity and let me see what specific changes will occur during the practice?" Seeing that Zhao Li was interested in this huge practice room, the principal smiled and mentioned it.
"Let's do it another day, let's finish the work first." Zhao Li did not refuse, but he did not agree immediately, but pushed back for a few days.
Nodding, the principal didn't say anything more, and led him through the practice room to a small test room: "This is the place where the students test their practice results after they finish practicing. Turning his head and looking at Zhao Li: "Are you interested in a simple test to see your current level?" You haven't tested it since you finished your recruit training. β
