My Talent Can Constantly Evolve - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 The Way To Rule

After He Bing and Lu Heng left, Xu Cheng went over to Yu Xiangrong’s side again.

“Director, do you intend to hire Lu Heng as a dojo instructor?”

Yu Xiangrong shook his head slightly and said, “I originally planned to, but now I think it’s better to observe him for a while.”

Xu Cheng asked curiously, “Why? Is it due to his temperament?”

“That’s right.”

Yu Xiangrong glanced at Xu Cheng and said, “Just as I guessed, this little fellow’s heart is rather arrogant. He looks down upon our small dojo.”

“What?” Xu Cheng was even more curious. “Director, what other options does he have? Given his conditions, becoming a dojo instructor is already the best choice at the moment. Shouldn’t he be satisfied with that?”

Yu Xiangrong smiled faintly and said, “I can only say that everyone has their own aspirations. I can’t force him.”

“Director, if he rejected your personal invitation, then he is indeed too ambitious. When the time comes, if he really becomes an instructor, he’ll be too prideful due to his talent,” Xu Cheng said somewhat indignantly.

Yu Xiangrong smiled and said, “That’s why I said I’d continue to observe him for a period of time. After he experiences a real setback, he will naturally become more mature.”

Hearing this, Xu Cheng nodded and said, “That’s true. If he took the invitation now, it would look like you are begging him to take up the position. He will definitely become even more arrogant due to that. He should be the one to take the initiative to beg you for it.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s see how lucky he is.”

After saying that, Yu Xiangrong walked out of the physical examination room.

In reality, he had many ways of obtaining a complete set of those martial arts books. He also was capable of pulling strings to help Lu Heng get out of military service if he failed the university entrance examination.

The reason why he deliberately said that these things were difficult to do in front of Lu Heng was that he was planning for the future.

When Lu Heng had no other choice but to beg him for help, he would reluctantly agree to help.

In this way, Lu Heng would feel that he owed him a great favor and would be willing to work for him wholeheartedly.

As the dojo’s director, he knew how to best control and ‘rule’ his subordinates.

On the other side, He Bing pulled Lu Heng toward Instructor Wu’s office without any explanation. As they walked over, he asked, “Lu Heng, what exactly did the director tell

you?”

“Nothing much. He just asked me if I wanted to join the dojo as an instructor in the future,” Lu Heng replied.

“Haha, it’s just as Instructor Xu guessed.” He Bing nodded. He then asked, “So, what do you think about it?”

Lu Heng replied, “Let’s talk about it in the future. I’ve only been practicing martial arts for two months, so it’s not like I can teach students.”

“That’s true.”

He Bing did not know what the director and Lu Heng had talked about but, under normal circumstances, the director would not ask Lu Heng to be an instructor so soon.

The director was probably swayed by Lu Heng’s outstanding talent and came up with that idea to keep him around. It would definitely take a few years for him to actually become a martial artist though.

“Lu Heng, your results are better than mine this time. I’m under a lot of pressure as your senior brother. It seems that I can’t slack off from now on.” He Bing laughed.

He figured that since he had already started to cultivate the Qi Gathering technique, his rate of improvement would definitely be faster than Lu Heng’s. It would not be long before he would be able to surpass Lu Heng.

Due to that, he did not feel too discouraged about his results. Lu Heng might be ahead of him temporarily, but there was no need to fret. His tone of voice was also very relaxed.

“We’re here.”

The two of them reached Instructor Wu’s office. He Bing took the lead and knocked on the door.

Knock, Knock, knock!

After a series of knocks on the door, Instructor Wu replied and asked the two to enter.

He Bing quickly opened the door and, after greeting Instructor Wu, immediately said, “Instructor, I have a big surprise for you this time.”

Instructor Wu was stunned and asked hurriedly, “What surprise?”

He Bing smiled and said, “We met the director during the physical examination just now. The director was very satisfied with Lu Heng’s training progress, so he said that you should also be promoted.”

“Really?”

Instructor Wu was overjoyed, but still asked hurriedly to confirm.

“I wouldn’t lie to you, instructor,” He Bing smiled and said, “What good would it do me?”

Instructor Wu walked over to Lu Heng with a big smile and asked, “Lu Heng, how were your test results?”

As he spoke, he took the assessment form from Lu Heng. “C, D, E, not bad, not bad at all! You’re improving very quickly.”

Instructor Wu nodded repeatedly and said, “I knew it. Your talent had to have been inaccurately measured back in school!”

Before he could continue, He Bing came over and said, “Instructor, there’s another surprise.”

“What surprise?”

He Bing smiled mysteriously and said, “The director thinks highly of Lu Heng. He asked Lu Heng to join the dojo as an instructor.”

Hearing this, Lu Heng quickly explained, “Instructor, the director is just thinking about it.”

“Hahaha,” Instructor Wu laughed and said, “Lu Heng, there’s no need to be modest. Your level of talent is indeed outstanding, so it’s normal for the director to want you to join as a dojo instructor.”

“Instructor, you didn’t lose out by giving Lu Heng that saber after all,” He Bing pointed at the saber on the table and said, “I told you that Lu Heng was worth training. Letting him have the saber will also make it easier for him to practice his saber skills at any time out there.”

Instructor Wu suddenly recalled that he had been looking for an excuse to take the saber back.

However, in the current situation, there was no need for that. Actually, he did not even have an excuse even if he wanted to.

Lu Heng’s test results were so outstanding. There was no way to use his results against

him.

Rather than that, Instructor Wu even wanted to help Lu Heng resolve as many of his problems as he could in the future.

After all, Lu Heng had won the director’s favor, so he definitely had a bright future ahead of him.

“Lu Heng, here. Take the saber.” Coach Wu took the saber and handed it to Lu Heng.

“From today onward, you don’t need to bring the saber to me every morning for an inspection. Just let me check it every two or three days when you are free,” Coach Wu said with a smile.

On the other hand, He Bing noticed that coach Wu was so happy, so he immediately pounced on the opportunity. “Instructor, you trained Lu Heng so well, so I shouldn’t fall behind.”

Instructor Wu immediately understood He Bing’s intention.

“What? Do you want to speed up the progress of your muscle tempering?”

He Bing chuckled and said, “Instructor, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. I only refined the upper limb muscles today. I think I can also refine the lower limb muscles tomorrow.”

“You can’t rush things. You have to listen to me when it comes to this matter,” Coach Wu said unhappily.

Seeing that Instructor Wu was unwilling, He Bing immediately tried using another set of excuses and did his best to persuade him.

However, no matter what he said, Instructor Wu refused to agree, so He Bing had no choice but to give up.

Instructor Wu then talked to them about a few things before rushing off to teach his class.

He left the two of them to their own devices.

After that, He Bing went directly to the library, while Lu Heng took the assessment form and headed out. He was heading toward the No. 1 High School to look for Liu Shiyao.

However, not long after he left Instructor Wu’s office, he was stopped along the way by Fan Kun.

Fan Kun walked over and said, “Lu Heng, I heard from Big Mouth Jia that you have your own…”

“Wait, what is this?”

As he spoke, Fan Kun spotted the capital letter Con Lu Heng’s report card, after which he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say.
