Chapter 2 - New Day

The next day, Ruo'er has almost recovered from fever. 

After having breakfast, they went out for school together. 

Since the catastrophe, the government has established a rule of compulsory education until the age of awakening. For this, they had established many elementary martial arts school throughout the whole country.

Those elementary martial arts school will train younger generation till they could awaken their talent.

Even thought, most of the commoner's life is miserable and they have mediocre talent, there are still many strong individual among them.

There are even some strong powerhouse of Martial Emperor level among them such as Dragon Tooth Sabre Emperor Hao and Ghost Hand Yin Emperor who are famous throughout the world.

Thus the government has made the elementary education free, hoping that another powerhouse might appear among them.

As for the commoners, being able to train in martial arts are like a door to leave the miserable life to them. Thus nobody is willing to let go such opportunity.

Soon, Qin Feng and Ye Rou'er arrived at the Third elementary school of commoners district.

At the gate of the school, there is already a chubby boy was waiting for them and as soon as he saw them, he waved his hands excitedly.

"Brother Feng."

Qin Feng also waved his hand and called out while walking towards him,

"Hey Fatty Zhou."

Seeing the fatty, Ye Ruo'er also greeted with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, how have you been?"

 "Ha..ha.. I'm good.Little sister how about you?"

"Does your fever flared up again?"

Hearing the question Ruo'er looked back at Qin Feng with a hint of worry then she shook her head,

"Brother Zhou, I'm okay. You should chat with big brother. I'm going to my classroom."

After finishing her speech, Ruo'er swiftly left.

As soon as Ruo'er left, Fatty Zhou's gaze changed, he looked at Qin Feng with a hint of anger and concern.

"Big Brother, you went to the underground boxing arena once again."

"Didn't I told you to not go there?"

"Even though my family is poor, I can still help you with Ruo'er's medical expenses. Why don't you hear me once?"

Hearing the question's full of concern. Qin Feng smiled. He knows fatty Zhou's family condition.

Although his family isn't in a dire state like him but it couldn't be said to be rich also. Fatty's parents works in a factory, working hard to give fatty a good life.

Thus, Qin Feng has refused his help every time, saying that the money is hard earned money of his parents.

"It's nothing. I will be okay in a few days."

"Look at the bruise on your face. You called it nothing?"

Fatty Zhou retorted angrily. He has been best friends with Qin Feng for almost five years but every time he wanted to help his buddy, he had been refused which makes him both angry and helpless.

Qin Feng knows that talking more in this matter would only made Fatty Zhou more unhappy so he changed the topic.

"Forget it. Fatty, lets go to the classroom. I haven't been in school for two days. I'm afraid, I have missed many thing."

As he said that Qin Feng pulled Fatty Zhou with him towards the classroom.

When they entered, the classroom was already filled. When his classmates saw him, they were not surprised by his sudden leave as he has been like this for almost every month.

Only a girl in white dress stood up from her seat and went to greet him with a concern.

"Qin Feng, you are injured once again. Can't you be a little more sensible?"

Her concerned expression soft actions cause others classmates to be green with jealousy and envy.

A boy in black wind jacket exclaimed enviously,

"It's class monitor Yanran. Ahhh..she is so affectionate everytime Qin Feng got beaten. I wish if I could also get beaten like him."

As soon as the boy said this, countless eyes stared at him fiercely.

The boy was scared by their gaze and quickly lowered his gaze.

While the classroom was completely silent, a tall handsome boy with flashy cloths followed by three lackery entered the room.

As soon as the boy's gaze fall on Qin Feng and class monitor Yanran, his eyes turned red with anger and jealousy.

He glared at Qin Feng with hatred and spoke through gritted teeth,

"Qin Feng, I told to not meddle with Yanran."

Qin Feng, Song Yanran and Fatty Zhou were startled by the sudden ice cold voice so they turned around to look at the owner of the voice.

As soon as Song Yanran saw the person her expression turned ice cold and asked ,

"Gu Ke, What do you mean by this?"

 The boy who is called Gu Ke smiled hearing her question. He answered with a broad smile, 

"Of course. I'm warning him to stay away from my girlfriend."

Hearing Gu Ke saying her his girlfriend made Song Yanran even more angry. She pointed her finger and questioned angrily, 

"Gu Ke! When did I ever accepted your propose?"

"I have already made it very clear that I don't like you. So, don't meddle in my affairs'." 

Gu Ke's expression also become ugly . But he still replied with a smile,

" Why can't I? Yanran, Are you rejecting me for this loser?"

" Tell me. Which part of me is inferior to him ?"

"I'm better than him in both looks and martial arts and in the entire school only my family can compare with yours and we are both compatible."

 Although Ge Ke said this with a smile , his eyes flashed with a vicious light when his gaze landed on Qin Feng.

At this moment, he is already planning on how to give Qin Feng a good lesson.

Since his father works in high position of a company which made equipment and various portion for martial artist, his family is considered as most well of family in the school.

Thus, many boys are willing to follow him to get some benefit by becoming his lackey.

Song Yanran doesn't know what Gu Ke is scheming in his mind. She resolutely refused him,

"I have made it clear to you. Gu Ke, I don't like you. So, don't disturb me."

Then she grabbed Qin Feng's arm and brought him to her table along with Fatty Zhou following behind them.

Gu Ke clenched his fist in anger seeing them ignoring him and sneered inside,

"Qin Feng...I'm not going to let you be happy for long."

After that he turned to look at his lackery and said something in their ear then he turned to look at the three people laughing and chatting and went to their seat with his underling.

Soon, Teacher Lin entered the classroom and the gossip among students came to an end.

"Students, all of you will be going through awakening next month. Those who will be able to awaken their talent will be able to become martial arts."

"Three months later, there will be entrance exam. Those who can cultivate will be able to join martial arts sects or military university."

"As for those who aren't talented for martial arts, you can get admission into a general university and join civil service."

 "I hope all of you will work hard for the future of human race."

Teacher Lin said seriously.

All of the student nodded their head with determination. There is hope and expectation in their eyes that couldn't be hidden.

Since all of them are from an extremely poor background , they wanted to change their future by working hard.

Seeing their determined expression Teacher Lin smiled and said,

"Okay. Today, I'm gonna see how much all of you progressed in Basic Fist Technique. Come, follow me to the training hall and show me one by one."

After saying this Teacher Lin went out of the class followed by the whole class.
