The atmosphere at the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure was different today. All the students were excited because the number one person on the honor roll, Li Lanfeng, who had brought glory to the academy, was coming to the academy today.
Li Lanfeng, a seventh-year student, led his friends to break through the virtual barrier and broke the record of the Central Scout Academy in Doha. At the same time, he was the only one who got into the best First Men's Military Academy in the Federation. No one had been able to break these records until now. The rise of the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure to become the most famous scout academy in the galaxy was also started by his batch.
Every student in the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure was told about Li Lanfeng's achievements from the moment they entered the academy. This made all the students think that they would be the next Li Lanfeng's goal. This made Li Lanfeng have an extremely important position among the students of the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure. He was different from the other seniors. Some of the students even saw him as their idol.
In the high-class canteen, many students from the special classes were already sitting there. They looked anxious as they waited for the academy to inform them of Li Lanfeng's arrival.
Yu Zhengyuan was among them. Xiao Jin and a few other team members were sitting beside him. He, who was originally calm and composed, now had a trace of nervousness and uneasiness.
"Captain, are you nervous?" Xiao Jin was confused. Although Li Lanfeng was very strong, in his eyes, his captain was not much weaker than him. If it wasn't for their lack of effort, they might have been able to break Li Lanfeng's record in the seventh year.
Yu Zhengyuan heard this and took a deep breath. He replied, "You don't understand!" Perhaps many of the students on Planet Azure thought that Senior Li had gotten to where he was today because of luck, but only he knew that this was not the case at all. Senior Li had fought his way to where he was today all by himself. He idolized Li Lanfeng because if it wasn't for Li Lanfeng's guidance, he might not have been able to reach where he was today. It could be said that Senior Li changed his future.
At this moment, Yu Zhengyuan recalled the time when he had just entered the Central Academy …
Yu Zhengyuan, who was weak, short, and didn't have outstanding talent, was also quiet and somewhat autistic, and was bullied by a few strong students in the class. Right, at that time, he was still a member of the ordinary class.
As usual, he was beaten black and blue. He struggled to get up from the ground and slowly left the training ground. He wanted to find a corner where no one knew where to cry.
Back then, he was really a crybaby!
That time, he had been beaten until he was dizzy and had actually walked in the wrong direction, arriving at the academy's dense forest. The forest had always been the territory of the higher grades, and the lower grades were forbidden from entering. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps no one had noticed that someone as small as him would walk into the forest. In any case, he walked all the way to the depths of the forest without a hitch. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. He had lost his way in the forest.
Back then, he had walked for half a day in the forest without coming out. He was hungry and scared. In the end, he was so tired that he found a big tree and fell asleep leaning against it. He didn't know how long it had been, but when he woke up, he vaguely heard some voices. He looked in the direction of the voices and found an upperclassman practicing the basic physical skills they were learning over and over again. Every movement was so perfect that it could be used as a textbook. Even so, the upperclassman was still not satisfied. He repeated it over and over again until the upperclassman was exhausted and rested.
Perhaps he was mesmerized, perhaps he was afraid of being alone in the forest, or perhaps he was confused as to why the upperclassman was so obsessed with practicing basic physical skills. Yu Zhengyuan, who had always been introverted and self-abased, actually didn't choose to turn around and leave. Instead, he focused on watching the upperclassman practice over and over again until he was completely mesmerized.
"You've been watching for so long. It's about time you came out." The upperclassman sat on the ground, but his face was facing Yu Zhengyuan's position. It seemed that the upperclassman had already noticed his approach from the beginning. He just didn't know why the upperclassman didn't stop him from watching and let him watch for so long.
What made Yu Zhengyuan even more surprised was that the upperclassman's upper face was covered with a metal mask. Usually, this type of mask was for people with facial disabilities. They had to rely on advanced equipment to live like a normal person. In order to make it easier to check and replace equipment later on, this type of metal mask would be left on their faces. He didn't know if this upperclassman had a problem with his eyes, ears, or even a mute.
Yu Zhengyuan walked out from behind a big tree with a head full of confusion. Because he was scared, hungry, and tired, and there were still traces of tears on his face, Yu Zhengyuan's image really wasn't good.
"You're new?" The upperclassman wasn't as cold and arrogant as the other upperclassmen. Instead, he waved at him with a smile. Don't ask him why he covered half his face. He could still see the other person's smile. In short, he did feel the other person smile back then. The smile was gentle, and the warmth was unforgettable.
Yu Zhengyuan ran over without any warning. When he reached the other person, he nodded obediently, indicating that the upperclassman had guessed correctly. The upperclassman hadn't even opened his mouth to speak when his stomach rumbled. He was so embarrassed that his face flushed red.
"I'm hungry, and I'm lost. You're really amazing, to actually be able to walk into the dense forest …" The upperclassman laughed. He took out a portion of food that he had already prepared from the bag at the side and handed it to him. This kindness made Yu Zhengyuan cry. This was the first person to be so kind to him since he entered the academy.
"Cry to your heart's content!" A gentle hand patted his head. Yu Zhengyuan thought that his crying would make the other person hate him. He didn't expect that not only did the other person not hate him, he even comforted him.
"Wah …" After receiving the other person's permission, Yu Zhengyuan finally cried openly. He didn't hide in a corner like before, hugging his legs and crying silently. He cried very loudly, as if he was crying out all the grievances that he had suffered in the past.
After being vented, Yu Zhengyuan finally stopped crying. He began to wipe away his tears with a red face. He looked apologetically at the upperclassman who had been looking at him gently.
The upperclassman chuckled and lightly tapped Yu Zhengyuan's forehead. "You've cried enough. Remember, you can't cry anymore. Since you've already entered the Scout Academy, you don't have the qualifications to be like a doll, solving everything by crying."
Yu Zhengyuan nodded vigorously, his eyes incomparably clear.
The upperclassman saw the bruises that had yet to disappear on his face and understood. "Were you bullied?"
Yu Zhengyuan's eyes reddened, but he still remembered that the upperclassman had just said that he couldn't cry anymore. He held back the two drops of tears that were about to fall from his eyes and pitifully replied, "My physique is bad, my talent is not good, and I don't know how to speak. I don't know how to communicate with my classmates … Maybe there's some misunderstanding, they're always finding trouble with me."
"Physique, talent, and words are all useless. What's important is that you have enough strength so that you won't be bullied by others." The upperclassman suddenly became cold. This kind of sudden oppression scared Yu Zhengyuan so much that he didn't dare to speak.
"Did I scare you?" The upperclassman chuckled. "But this is the truth of survival in the academy. If you don't want to be bullied, then become strong for me."
"But, my physique …" Yu Zhengyuan didn't have the slightest bit of confidence.
"Pa!" Yu Zhengyuan's forehead was heavily flicked. "I don't want to listen to your explanation. I just want to see if you're working hard." The masked upperclassman stood up and put on his clothes. He was actually a valedictorian … Yu Zhengyuan's eyes revealed a look of admiration.
"When I first entered the academy, I was just like you, weak and sickly. No one was optimistic about me, but I still stood at the top of this academy …" Yu Zhengyuan only heard this sentence in his ears. By the time he reacted, he was already outside the dense forest.
Good, good, so strong! He didn't feel anything, but he was actually thrown out of the dense forest by the upperclassman. Yu Zhengyuan was incomparably excited. Could he also reach the same level of strength as the upperclassman in the future?
Thinking of how the upperclassman had been practicing the basic physical skills, was that the secret to his success? Although Yu Zhengyuan was silent and somewhat autistic, once he made up his mind, he wouldn't change it. He began practicing the basic physical skills diligently. When all the other students had the opportunity to learn intermediate and advanced physical skills, Yu Zhengyuan was still practicing the basic physical skills. Everyone laughed at Yu Zhengyuan for wasting his time. But after practicing for five years, Yu Zhengyuan finally discovered the benefits of the basic physical skills. When practiced to perfection, the basic physical skills actually had the effect of improving one's physique and talent …
After discovering this, he had searched for relevant information in the virtual world, but found nothing … He was shocked and knew that he might have discovered a secret hidden by the strong. Being smart, he suppressed this secret in the bottom of his heart, not daring to say anything. Of course, he also knew that even if he said it, no one would believe him.
If he hadn't seen the upperclassman practice the basic physical skills countless times and memorized the perfect postures and movements, he probably wouldn't have been able to grasp the secrets of the basic physical skills even if he practiced for decades. He also wouldn't have been able to discover this shocking secret hidden deep within.
Yu Zhengyuan was very clear that the reason he was able to successfully turn the tables in the sixth grade, enter the special classes, and obtain the position of valedictorian in the seventh grade, and even walk down a completely different and resplendent path in the future, all of this originated from that one meeting. That one observation, that one pointers, that one warning, that one meeting.
That person was Li Lanfeng, the one who brought unparalleled glory to Planet Azure's Central Scout Academy! After Yu Zhengyuan knew who that person was, he treated that person as his idol. He had already decided that he would definitely get into the First Men's Military Academy and walk on the path of his idol. In the future, he would go to the 23rd Division, the division that Li Lanfeng was in …
Clenching his fists tightly, Yu Zhengyuan thought to himself, 'I must do this. I definitely won't embarrass Upperclassman Li.'
Of course, if he could meet Upperclassman Li today, he would definitely tell him that the little crybaby from back then was strong enough to not cry anymore.
