Chapter 6 Why Are You So Aggressive?

When Lu Yao opened his eyes, the first ray of sunlight in the morning had already shone into the window.

After Lu Yao got up and quickly did some housework, he began to practice.

Since the place where the father and the son now lived belonged to the slum, their neighbors were already busy making a living at this time of the day. So he was not afraid of being seen by others, and he started to practice the boxing skills that Li Jiang taught him before in the yard.

Although Li Jiang had not appeared for many days, as Lu Yao practiced the first move of this set of Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills over and over again, he still found that his body had changed a lot.

At first, when Li Jiang taught him this move, he also tried to practice it. But at first, he found that his whole body did not feel anything different. Instead, it was like doing a set of ordinary exercises.

But for the second time he practiced it, Lu Yao strangely found that his every movement became sluggish. He felt not as free as the first time, and a simple action would make him feel laborious.

Later, with the further practice of Tuiyun Hand, his every movement would become slower and slower. Gradually, his joints began to ache vaguely.

Especially this morning, after Lu Yao completely finished the first move of Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills, he was sweating all over the body, and the pain was still severe.

But the difference was that after the pain, Lu Yao felt a kind of dryness and heat all over the body, which he had never been experienced before.

There was an old stone mill in the courtyard. Although it was not as heavy as one thousand catties, it was still at least six hundred catties. Some time ago, two grown men nearby wanted to move it and took it for themselves. But no matter how hard they tried, the stone mill remained motionless. After there were more and more onlookers, they had no choice but to give up.

The stone mill had been put there since Lu Yao and Lu Yiqian moved here. And if it weren't for the event last time, Lu Yao had never paid attention to it.

However, since he began to practice Tuiyun Hand several times a day, Lu Yao would also try to push the stone mill with Tuiyun Hand to test whether his skills and strength had improved.

However, it was a pity that for so many times, no matter how hard he tried, the stone mill never moved.

Today, as usual, after practicing the set of boxing, Lu Yao came to the stone mill and wanted to slowly try to push it with his palm.

Using Tuiyun Hand with all his strength, Lu Yao stamped his feet to the ground, and his left and right hands pushed towards the stone mill together.

As soon as he touched the stone mill, Lu Yao was pleasantly surprised that the stone mill, which usually had been standing there firmly, was shaken by his hands today.

Although it only shook a bit and then stopped moving, Lu Yao was still extremely excited.

This was the greatest gain after he started practicing. His strength was much bigger than ordinary adults’.

Lu Yao looked up and checked the time. It was almost time to go to school. Lu Yao could only stop practicing, get up to wash up in the room, take all his belongings, and go to school.

Lu Yao studied at the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City.

This was an old school with a history of a hundred years. It was said to be the first public school that was established here after Zuo Yuntang, a famous general of the former dynasty, quelled the border rebellion in Xinlu Province. This high school was famous for many of its alumni who became First-Degree Scholars and Imperial Scholars.

Later, with the gradual changes of the times, it was renamed the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City.

Because of its long history and great teaching achievements, successive provincial and municipal leaders had paid special attention to this school. Therefore, the teachers and teaching level here also ranked top in Shuangta City.

Walking into the campus, two neat rows of "General Zuo's Willow" were fluttering in the wind. Although today was only the first day of school, there were already some hard-working students who were reading aloud the textbooks.

Looking at the vibrant scene in front of him, bathed in the warm sun, Lu Yao could not help but sigh with emotion about his life.

If it hadn't been for this operation, he might have said goodbye to all of these completely. When once again standing in the familiar campus without the invasion of the disease, Lu Yao felt his whole body was unspeakably comfortable.

When Heaven was about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always would firstly frustrate his spirit and will as well as exhaust his muscles and bones.

Now that Lu Yao had embarked on a completely different path, he decided that he must hold his destiny tightly in his own hands.

Walking into the teaching building, Lu Yao followed the stairs to the second floor. The sign, Class 1 of Senior 3, came into his view. This was where Lu Yao studied.

Class 1 of Senior 3 was the best class in the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City. Only the best 60 students in the school could have the honor to sit here and study.

Of course, during the continuous study and hard work for three years in high school, the students in this class were not fixed. The school adopted the lowliest place elimination system to eliminate some students according to their grades in the irregular examinations. This gave those who had achieved excellent grades in other classes a chance to enter here.

Lu Yao stood there, looking at the door number of his class in a daze. Suddenly, he was gently patted on the shoulder.

"What's the matter, Lu Yao? Why are you staring at the sign? Did you have a good holiday?" Lu Yao looked back. Han Dong, Lu Yao's best friend in high school, was standing beside him and said to himself with a smile on his face.

"Oh, nothing. I just recalled something. I had a rather good holiday. How about you?" Lu Yao looked at Han Dong and said.

"Of course, I had a good holiday! Apart from studying, I had plenty of time to do what I like to do. Of course, I have a good time!" Han Dong said.

They walked into the classroom and went to their seats while talking and laughing.

Han Dong and Lu Yao met at the award ceremony for entering the first year of high school. At that time, Lu Yao entered the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City as the first place in the city while Han Dong entered the school as the fifth place in the city.

For the first time they met, Han Dong left a deep impression on Lu Yao. He was more than 1.8 meters tall, with handsome facial features and well-trained muscles. He always smiled politely at everyone.

Han Dong could be said to be one of several popular figures in the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City. He not only studied well but was also proficient in sports. He was the ideal Prince Charming in the hearts of countless young girls.

There were many people who wanted to be friends with Han Dong, but only Lu Yao and he became good friends that kept no secrets from each other.

Lu Yao's academic performance was excellent during the last year, his seat was also relatively closer to the front.

"There you are!" Lu Yao came to his seat and saw that Lin Jiayi, his desk-mate, was already sitting there, so he said hello to her politely.

Hearing someone said hello to her, Lin Jiayi looked up at him and then bowed her head to continue to do her own exercises.

If it were someone else, he might get angry. However, Lin Jiayi always acted like this. So, Lu Yao was already used to it.

After tidying up his desk, Lu Yao sat there and wanted to start catching up on the homework he had left behind.

"Everybody, pay attention, and I'll announce a few things!" A young man who was also handsome and similar in height to Lu Yao stood on the podium and talked to everyone.

"The first thing is that the class teacher is busy today. Han Dong and I will handle the registration for everyone. The second thing is that there are still a very small number of people whose holiday homework has not yet been handed in. Please hurry up and don't hinder our class!"

The young man who was speaking was Chu Minghui, the commissary in charge of studies in the class. After he had announced these two things, he went straight to Lu Yao's side.

"Lu Yao, are you going to hand in your holiday homework? You're not trying to hinder us, are you?"

"I haven't finished my holiday homework yet. When I'm done, I'll give it to the teacher myself. You can hand in other students' homework first." Lu Yao said to him politely since Chu Minghui personally asked for his homework.

"You haven't finished yet? Lu Yao, are you really going to degenerate? You used to be in the first place in the city, but now you can't even hand in your homework on time. You are such a weird person!" Chu Minghui obviously wanted to embarrass Lu Yao, and his volume also increased a lot.

Some of the students around looked back at the two. Han Dong also came over when he heard the conversation.

"Lu Yao, what's the matter? How come you didn't finish your homework?" Han Dong also kindly asked.

"I was not feeling well during the holiday. I was in the hospital for a period of time, so I was held back a bit by it!" Lu Yao explained to Han Dong.

"Keep on making up your stories. Why can't I see you are feeling uncomfortable?" Chu Minghui said cynically.

"Chu Minghui, don't go too far!" Han Dong couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Lu Yao has always been in poor health. Everyone knows this. He said that he was hospitalized. Then it must be the truth! Is it necessary for him to deceive you?"

"I went too far? How did I go too far? Look at him! He degenerated voluntarily. He becomes what he is now from the first place in the school. This let me lose face, too! Besides, as a student who is about to take the college entrance examination, hospitalization can’t be an excuse for not handing in homework!"

"That's enough, Chu Minghui. You can just take care of your own matters. Having this kind of good grade, your own efforts are undeniable. But you should admit that Lu Yao helped you a lot! Now, some health-related reasons have led to a decline in Lu Yao’s academic performance. You should not hit him when he is down!" Han Dong was a little angry with Chu Minghui, so his tone was a little more accentuated.

"Well, birds of a feather flock together, and people of one mind fall into the same group. He used to be able to befriend me, but now how can he be qualified to be friends with me?" Seeing that all the students around were looking over here, Chu Minghui was also a bit anxious.

In the past, when Lu Yao was still the first place in the school, Chu Minghui told everyone that Lu Yao was his good friend. He emphasized how good their relationship was as if being related to Lu Yao had been a great honor.

But now, Chu Minghui felt that this was a shame for him.

"He can just hand in the homework after he finishes his homework, so there's no need to be so aggressive!" When Han Dong and Chu Minghui quarreled about Lu Yao, Lin Jiayi, Lu Yao's desk-mate, gently said such a sentence.

Lin Jiayi, who was recognized as the school beauty of the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City, was also famous as the "Ice Queen".

In the three years since she entered school, she had never said more than two sentences to anyone, including girls. She was like an isolated fairy from the rest of the world.

At ordinary times, unlike other girls, Lin Jiayi did not wear any makeup or dye her hair to dress herself up deliberately. She always wore a school uniform and her hair was also tightly tied together.

But even so, it could not make some people with ulterior motives back down. Many people pursued her at school, but she never had an affair with anyone.

Chu Minghui was also one of the many people who pursued her. Over the past two years, no matter how much he tried to please Lin Jiayi, she always ignored him. Except for the normal communications in the class, she never said an extra sentence with him.

But it was such an "Ice Queen" who said such a sentence for Lu Yao.

The classroom, which was very noisy, suddenly quieted down.

"Lu Yao, this will be the best time of your life. After the college entrance examination, the trajectory of your life and my life will be two completely different parallel lines, and you can only look up at me forever!"

Finally, Chu Minghui said such a sentence to Lu Yao, pushed aside Han Dong beside him, and went straight to his seat.
