High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 94: Chapter 92: Generous Rewards

On the podium.

Several middle-aged men and women sat solemnly, all dressed uniformly in black administrative jackets and white shirts.

Seated in the center was a man with a square face and an imposing appearance.

On his left, a slightly plump principal was whispering with the square-faced man.

On his right was a gentlemanly middle-aged man of about fifty.

”The top leader of An City.” Jiang Ye looked at the gentlemanly middle-aged man.

He had seen this figure before on An City news.

But what surprised him was not this person.

It was the square-faced man sitting in the center.

Even the top leader of An City could only sit on the right side; what identity did the one in the center hold?

No wonder this meeting was so sudden.

The top leader of An City was already an unimaginable big figure for An City No.3 High School, and now, there was even more?

In such a grand setting.

The vast conference hall, with thousands of teachers and students, was utterly silent.

...

”Welcome city leaders, this is Director Peng Jun, this is...”

On the podium, a formally dressed teacher gave a brief opening speech and introduced the people on stage one by one.

”Finally, let’s warmly welcome the Director of the West Mountain Province Education Department, Deng Huaishan!”

As the words fell.

The square-faced man sitting in the center of the podium stood up.

”Clap~”

The audience erupted in applause.

”It’s actually the director of the provincial education department?”

The students were surprised.

Jiang Ye was also shocked,

This was truly an incredibly important figure!

On stage.

The teacher did not waste many words.

After the introductions, he handed the microphone to Director Deng Huaishan.

Director Deng Huaishan took the microphone, beaming as he looked towards the students below, and began, ”Children, sorry to delay your departure from school.”

”I came this time hastily, merely passing through An City.”

”I heard that there is a student here with a Level Two Preparatory Star Profession, which is quite impressive—no more than twenty in the entire West Mountain Province in a year!”

”Who is the little fellow? Can you come up and let me have a look?” Deng Huaishan spoke warmly.

As the words fell.

The entire hall was taken aback.

”Not even twenty in a year across the entire province?”

”Is this Level Two Preparatory Star Profession really that amazing?”

Most had heard of this news.

But they didn’t realize how significant it was.

Now, hearing Director Deng’s words, everyone was extremely shocked.

”Step back.”

Wang Ziang told the others, making way for Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye resignedly shook his head, slowly stood up, and walked to the stage.

”Whoosh~” Countless eyes began to focus on him.

As Jiang Ye reached the stage, thousands of gazes had already converged on him.

”That’s Jiang Ye.”

”So handsome.”

”Isn’t it amazing to have a Level Two Preparatory Star Profession that fewer than twenty people achieve in a year?” The audience was incredibly impressed.

On stage.

”Hello, Director Deng, my name is Jiang Ye.”

Jiang Ye slightly bowed to the square-faced man.

In both his past and present life, he had never stood before such important figures.

Especially in this Over-the-Top Martial Arts World, where just standing there, Deng Huaishan exuded an overwhelming, ocean-like aura.

A regular person might not even be able to stand straight.

However, Jiang Ye remained composed.

Seeing the handsome young man before him, with a calm and stable demeanor, Deng Huaishan couldn’t help but nod slightly.

”Not bad, indeed a bit like a genius.”

He showed a kindly smile and said, ”Jiang Ye, I will remember your name. I hope to hear about you again in the college entrance exam in a few months.”

”Yes.” Jiang Ye replied confidently, ”I won’t disappoint Director Deng!”

...

The next procedure was the awarding segment.

As the only Level Two Preparatory Star Positioner in An City for several years.

Jiang Ye received high praise from the top leader of An City and the school, along with a banner and a reward of 500 yuan.

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting concluded, and everyone began to leave.

Yet Jiang Ye was kept back by Zhang Jianwu alone.

In a private conference room.

”Director, is there something else?” Jiang Ye asked Zhang Jianwu.

Zhang Jianwu smiled, ”Don’t be in a rush to leave; you haven’t received your reward yet.”

”Reward?” Jiang Ye was slightly confused.

”Did you really think it was just a banner and 500 yuan?” Zhang Jianwu laughed and scolded, ”That’s just what’s on the surface.”

Jiang Ye sheepishly smiled.

After all, these were high-ranking officials.

Getting a banner and 500 yuan as an award seemed reasonable, and he had no complaints.

However, it seemed not so simple now?

As they conversed, several footsteps approached.

Several figures entered the room.

The leader was the city’s top official, the gentlemanly middle-aged man.

”City Lord Song, Principal Wang.” Jiang Ye stood up to greet them.

”Haha.” The gentlemanly middle-aged man, City Lord Song, laughed, ”Jiang Ye, no need to be formal. You’ve brought us glory in An City, and naturally, we have a reward for you.”

”After discussing with Principal Wang and others, we’ve decided to give you a reward of 200,000 Federation credits.”

”This money is from our personal accounts, and I hope you don’t find it too little.” City Lord Song said with a smile.

Jiang Ye hurriedly replied, ”Not at all, thank you, City Lord Song, Principal Wang.”

200,000!

Half a year ago, he couldn’t even dream of having so much money.

Moreover, it came from their personal accounts.

”Jiang Ye.”

City Lord Song patted his shoulder, his expression suddenly becoming solemn:

”Level Two Preparatory Star Profession is just the start.”

”The road ahead is even steeper, and these rewards are just a bit of personal support from us.”

”Work hard.”

”I hope that someday your name will echo throughout the West Mountain Province.” City Lord Song’s eyes were filled with expectation.

Jiang Ye felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He earnestly nodded, ”I will make sure An City’s name will echo across the entire Blue Star Federation.”

City Lord Song was taken aback for a moment.

”Hahaha!”

Then he patted Jiang Ye enthusiastically, ”Good, I look forward to you fulfilling this statement!”

After speaking, City Lord Song led the group out of the room.

The slightly plump Principal Wang also gave Jiang Ye a deep look and left.

In the office, only Jiang Ye and Zhang Jianwu remained.

Jiang Ye looked at Zhang Jianwu, puzzled, ”Director, why are the principal and city lord offering personal support? Does the official side not give rewards?”

”Hasn’t the Examination Bureau already given a reward?” Zhang Jianwu shook his head, ”How could the Federation give a second one.”

Jiang Ye suddenly understood.

...

Meanwhile.

City Lord Song and his group walked outside.

Beside City Lord Song, a potbellied middle-aged man whispered with a laugh, ”That kid really has quite the ambition, saying he’ll echo across the entire Blue Star Federation? I’m afraid even with a Tao Bone talent, few dare to boast so boldly.”

”Hahaha.”

The others also chuckled in unison.

The Blue Star Federation is full of talented individuals.

The Ten Southern Provinces and the Eastern Domain are as numerous as stars in the sea.

Against such a vast backdrop.

Even with a Tao Bone talent, only a select few could make a name.

Let alone a high school student who’s just starting to shine in a small place like An City.

”What’s so funny?”

City Lord Song unexpectedly shook his head, ”In one’s youth, one should have aspirations as lofty as a swan, galloping across plains on horseback.”

”That’s exactly how the young should be!”

City Lord Song snorted, ”If you had such achievements in your youth, maybe you’d be even more arrogant and boastful!”

The few of them bowed their heads in embarrassment.
