At ten o'clock in the morning, the playground of Floating Spear City's Mining Clan High School was packed with people.
The Mining Clan High School today was quite different from three years ago.
After Li Yao had made a fortune with the Demon Beast Detector, he had invested a large sum of money in the school in his hometown. He had helped the Mining Clan High School renovate the school, expand the playground, build a new laboratory building, and add a lot of training equipment.
Today, the Mining Clan High School not only accepted the children of miners from the Limestone District, but also recruited the children of civilians from all over the city at a very low tuition fee.
At this moment, thousands of students had gathered in the spacious playground. It was noisy and lively.
"Tang Xiao, aren't you awake yet? Keep your eyes peeled, the big shots are coming!"
At the end of the crowd, a yellow-haired student elbowed a sleepy-eyed fat boy next to him.
"What big shot is this? Why would he summon the whole school? It can't be the mayor, can it? I was practicing the 'Thirteen Forces of War Beasts' until three o'clock in the morning. How could I have the energy to pay attention to these idiots? "
The chubby boy named Tang Xiao gave a big yawn and spoke disdainfully.
The yellow-haired boy's eyes were shining. He was so excited that his voice changed.
"What mayor? It's Li Yao. Vulture Li Yao!"
The fat boy's eyes, which had just narrowed into a line, suddenly widened. He jumped up in excitement.
"What? Vulture Li Yao, the super genius from our Mining Clan High School? "
Li Yao was the biggest idol of the thousands of students in the Mining Clan High School. All the kids from the slums considered him as their goal. Besides, a lot of the school's buildings and training equipment were sponsored by Li Yao. They were deeply proud of their schoolmate.
Almost every kid had watched Li Yao's combat videos hundreds of times on the Internet. They had even established a hobby association named 'Vulture Squad'. As long as it was news about Li Yao, they would not let go of even the slightest bit of information.
The fat boy, Tang Xiao. He and the yellow-haired boy were no exception. They were both die-hard members of the 'Vulture Squad'!
At this moment, both of their necks shrank back at the same time. He felt a chill down his spine, as if his entire body was soaked in ice water.
They looked up, only to see a luxurious flying shuttle with silver flowing light descending silently above their heads without them noticing!
From the flawless shell. A boundless aura seeped out like a transparent net, enveloping all the students present.
"Wow, what kind of shuttle is this? I've never seen it before! From the looks of it, it's even more high-end than the Xuanniao Armed Shuttle, which is worth over a hundred million! "
"Vulture Li Yao's aura is so strong that I can barely breathe. Is he really only four or five years older than us?"
"Cultivators are so rich and domineering!"
"I must cultivate with all my might. In the future, I will become a powerful cultivator just like Li Yao! "
All the students were dazzled. Their mouths were wide open as they stared blankly at the sky.
In the sky, a silver light flashed, and a slender, slim figure appeared. He was wearing a silver robe made of mustard-seed materials. The belt of the robe was fluttering even though there was no wind. He was extremely elegant as he slowly flew to the rostrum from the sky.
It was Li Yao!
"Principal Mao. Grandpa Wang! "
Li Yao and the two old men on the rostrum hugged each other warmly.
Although he had only stayed in the Mining Clan High School for a few months, he had never forgotten that it was Principal Mao who took him in despite the pressure when he was at his lowest.
It was needless to say that Grandpa Wang had helped him when he was still in high school. Had it not been for Grandpa Wang, he might not even have been able to afford the tuition fees.
If he had dropped out of school at that time, his life would have been very different.
Therefore, Li Yao sincerely regarded the Mining Clan High School as his alma mater and the two old men as his family.
"This time, I'm here mainly to discuss the construction of a new training hall in our high school. I plan to build another training hall according to the highest standards for young people. It will be as good as any of the key high schools in the Federation. Of course, after the intensity of training is increased, the body will be more prone to injuries. Therefore, a brand-new infirmary will be built according to the standards of the field hospitals in the military. All the injuries caused by training will be cured. "
Li Yao said unhurriedly.
During the months he spent in Occult Orbs Fellowship, he had redeemed a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and secret treasures, all of which could be sold. Every one of them was invaluable.
Even his contribution points could be exchanged for money as the reward for every mission he carried out.
This time, when he accepted the extremely dangerous mission to Ultimacy, he had received a large sum of 'settlement allowance' in advance. He had no home to settle down in. Neither he nor Ding Ling Dong were short of money. Therefore, he might as well invest the money in his alma mater.
Li Yao's ambition was not just about his own success.
He also hoped to build the Mining Clan High School into a top-tier super high school in the Federation so that all the poor children in the Federation who were talented in training could be helped to embark on the path of Cultivation!
"Li Yao, you've been a great help to our high school over the past two years. Now, you're asking me to build another two such advanced buildings. I … I really don't know what to say!"
President Mao sighed with mixed feelings. "Years ago, I only did Old Wang a favor. It was nothing. I didn't expect that you would become one of the youngest Building Foundation Stage Cultivators in the Federation today!"
Li Yao smiled.
"President, it was nothing for you years ago, and it's nothing for me right now, too! The training center and the infirmary are not a big deal. I've also reached an agreement with President Zhao of the Disabled Servicemen Association of Floating Spear City. In the future, the Disabled Servicemen Association will send a batch of tough veterans to the school as tutors to teach the students martial arts and fighting methods. I'll pay for all the expenses!
"You know that the Federation is now in a 'Level One War State'. Soldiers are the most respected profession. The students won't suffer any losses if they learn more combat skills!"
Li Yao had thought it through. If he could return from Ultimacy successfully, money would not be a problem. Not to mention hiring a few disabled veterans, he could even hire a special force.
If he couldn't come back, the insurance company established by the top ten sects of the Federation would compensate him a large sum of money, which would be enough to support the construction and operation of the Mining Clan High School.
President Mao nodded quickly.
"Li Yao, for the sake of the students, I won't be courteous to you. It will be great if tutors from the military can teach in our school!
"You know that the students in our school are all from miner families or slums. Their talents are not good in the first place, and they didn't receive a good education when they were young. It will be quite difficult for them to awaken their spiritual roots and become Cultivators like you. There might not even be one in a few years."
"However, since you started sponsoring our school, all the students have been training crazily with you as their role model. Their bodies have all been much stronger than before. Last year, 174 students passed the military test and became members of the Union Army!"
Li Yao's eyes shone.
"One hundred and seventy-four? That's a good result! "
In the Xing Yao Federation, martial prowess was the most important thing. The Union Army enjoyed a very high status, almost as high as the Cultivators. It was extremely difficult to join the army, too.
For the children of poor families, joining the army was a very good choice. In the army, they could learn a lot of skills for free and receive a lot of nutrition drugs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for free. It was also very convenient for them to find a job after they retired from the army. Their social status was high, too. When they were in trouble, the Veterans Association and the Disabled Servicemen Association would help them.
For ordinary people, becoming a Cultivator was an unreachable dream. But becoming a member of the Union Army was a goal that could be achieved with hard work!
In the past, the Mining Clan High School could barely produce dozens of members of the Union Army in a year. But last year, the number had increased by almost five times. It was all thanks to Li Yao's money.
"Say something to your classmates. You are their biggest idol. When they heard that you were coming, they were all jumping up and down like monkeys. Hahahaha!"
Principal Mao said with a smile.
Li Yao looked around, only to find that the audience was completely silent. Countless pairs of burning eyes were staring at him "hungrily". He couldn't help but smile.
He inexplicably recalled three years ago, on the playground of Chixiao No. 2 High School, he and his buddy Meng Jiang stood at the back of the playground and stared at "Fiend Blade" Peng Hai with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
The scene was so familiar. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. How time flies!
After thinking for a while, Li Yao took a step forward.
There was clearly no road in front of him. There was only a two-meter drop.
But he seemed to have stepped on a flight of stairs that didn't exist. Step by step, he slowly "walked" to a height of four to five meters in the sky.
Building Foundation Stage Cultivators could rely on the surge of spiritual energy to control the airflow and slowly fly in the air.
It was not very useful in a battle, and it was easy to become a live target in the air.
But at this moment, when Li Yao performed it, all the students were shocked.
Li Yao recalled the magnificent scene when he saw Fiend Blade Peng Hai go all out for the first time and rushed to the peak of his level. He took a deep breath and slowly expanded his aura.
His messy hair danced crazily. Deep purple electric arcs and light blue hellfire appeared around his body. They quickly circled around him and collided with each other, making "Crack!" sounds!
Circles of spiritual energy rippled out in all directions like light silver halos.
"Ha!"
Li Yao bellowed. Like a hurricane, he rose from the ground. All the students couldn't open their eyes. Their school uniforms were fluttering in the wind.
"Is this the power of a Cultivator? Too powerful! Too terrifying! "
"I want to be a Cultivator like this. I want to fly freely in the air!"
"We all came from the slums. If Vulture Li Yao can do it, so can I!"
Li Yao heard everyone's exclamations and screams clearly.
He smiled. His voice was as loud as a bell:
"You want to be like me?"
"Then let's cultivate as if our lives depended on it!"
