Atlas of Heaven and Man

After Chen Chuan made the phone call, he went straight home. As soon as he reached the front yard, he heard the noisy voices of his younger cousins. When he walked into the living room, he saw a small rubber ball bouncing towards him. He simply hooked it with the back of his foot and kicked it twice. With a stretch of his foot, the ball stopped steadily on the back of his foot, and he didn't even sway.

"Wow!" Little cousin Nian Lu exclaimed, clapping her hands vigorously.

Younger cousin Nian Mo also raised his hands high, "Yay, do it again! Do it again!"

Chen Chuan moved his foot forward, and the ball rolled towards the two little ones.

Yu Wan was sitting in a chair knitting a sweater. She knew that Chen Chuan would be going to the Wuyi Academy tomorrow, so she had been waiting here early today. At this moment, she smiled and said, "Chuan'er, you're back?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie. I'm registering tomorrow, so I came back a little earlier today."

Yu Wan stood up and saw that there was a lot of dust on his coat. She said, "You child, did you roll around in a pile of ashes? Give it to me quickly. I'll go out and clean it up. It's a good piece of clothing, don't ruin it."

She took the coat and nagged a few words, then took the coat out to pat it.

At this moment, Chen Chuan felt the wind behind him. As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he tilted his head and dodged a rubber ball that was thrown at him.

"Wow! Brother is amazing!"

"Throw it back, throw it back!"

Chen Chuan returned the ball and casually played with the two little ones for a while. Yu Wan turned back, put the cleaned clothes in his hands, and said, "Here."

Chen Chuan hummed in agreement.

Yu Wan added, "Your uncle told you to move out in two months. Now that you have a place to stay, I don't think you should be in a hurry to move your things. Wait until the school dormitory is settled. If you don't want to live there after school starts, come back. The family can still afford to feed you?"

Chen Chuan asked, "Auntie, is this Uncle's idea?"

Yu Wan said, "What, can't your aunt make the decision? It's better for you to learn your skills well in the academy than anything else."

Chen Chuan wasn't pretentious. Anyway, he could move at any time, so he said, "Okay, Auntie, let's do that for now."

Yu Wan was very happy to see that he had listened. After her second sister and brother-in-law were gone, she had treated Chen Chuan as her own son. She would be a little reluctant if he moved out like this.

After Yu Wan left, Chen Chuan returned to his room. He closed the door, hung the clothes on the door hook, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the remaining money to count it.

Yu Wan had initially given him a total of six hundred yuan in Jianyuan currency. One hundred was used for registration, and the money spent on food, training, and equipment damage at the Fist House, as well as some other expenses, amounted to three hundred and something in two months, averaging one hundred and fifty per month.

Until the re-examination next month, he would obviously still need Yu Gang's guidance. Even if he didn't calculate too much, it should be about the same.

After the Wuyi Academy officially started, room and board would be free for internal students. If he could pass the re-examination, he could also get most of his tuition waived. But thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible to not spend money at all. Maybe he would need even more, so he still had to try his best to get the school's scholarship.

At the same time, inside the Wuyi Academy.

Bian Feng, the lecturer who admitted Chen Chuan, and Yue Hong, another teacher mainly responsible for recruitment, were walking together in the corridor of the academy building.

Yue Hong patted the list in his hand and said, "The expansion has been going on for ten years, and the number of students applying every year is increasing. This year, we have recruited even more students. Yangzhi City, plus the surrounding six counties, has reached two thousand, which has never happened before. It seems that the higher-ups have increased their efforts."

Bian Feng said in a deep voice, "Is that a lot? Yangzhi City has more than six million people, plus the surrounding counties and towns, even if you don't count the mountainous areas, there must be more than ten million. As a result, only so few people enroll every year. This is still the result of ten years of expansion."

Yue Hong smiled and said, "Be content. Back in our day, who wasn't taught hand-in-hand by a teacher before entering school? Who didn't start practicing from a young age? Nowadays, many students have the opportunity to enter school after training in a boxing club for a year or two, or even half a year. There are so many more opportunities than we had back then."

Bian Feng shook his head and said, "These students can only enter school. At the re-examination, it would be good if one-tenth of them can pass."

Yue Hong nodded in agreement. Although both of them were Wuda students, passing the re-examination and not passing the re-examination were completely different. The former were the talents that the academy would really spend effort to cultivate, while the latter could only be considered extras.

After ten years of expansion, the real changes within Wuda were not significant. The overall number of elite students each year did not fluctuate much. The reason was simple: there were only so many resources, and they could only be tilted to a limited extent towards those who were worth cultivating.

In fact, the bigger reason was that most of the resources were taken away by powerful students, and the remaining bit was distributed to ordinary students. Although the upper echelons of the main campus had realized this problem in recent years and were trying to adjust it, the effect was limited.

He said with emotion, "How can anyone be willing to spit out the meat that has already been eaten?"

As they were talking, they arrived outside the office of the head of recruitment for the academy. As soon as they approached, they heard a strong voice coming from inside:

"I'm saying, is there any need for the scholarships set up by the academy now? Every year, the people who get scholarships are all pushed out by those powerful students. After graduation, they all go to work for the powerful. The opportunity was originally intended for ordinary students, but it has been encroached upon. What's the point of expansion?"

"After all this, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. It's not as good as it was ten years ago. I think it can be completely cut off. Even if it's not cut off, it can be reduced!"

Bian Feng and Yue Hong both had very sharp ears. Even through a wall, in a quiet corridor, they could still clearly hear the voice coming from the microphone on the other side:

"We still have to give some hope. Ordinary students can't compare to powerful students, but there are always outstanding students who can emerge. Even if only one or two come out, that's good. Our approach is effective, and if the scholarship is cancelled, there will be no hope."

"You are a school director, so you have the final say on this matter. But if this year is still the same as before, find someone else to do this next time."

With a click, the microphone was put down, and then the voice said, "What are you two doing waiting outside? Watching me make a fool of myself? Come in."

Bian Feng and Yue Hong quickly pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting in the office was a middle-aged man in his fifties with thick hair. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a魁伟 physique, and a serious face. He was wearing a dark black imported礼装, and the cuffs and collar were buttoned meticulously. He looked like a very serious person.

He was sitting there, and almost half of the room was occupied by him. The two feet behind the desk were like piers on the ground, and the chair he was sitting on was almost invisible. Bian Feng and Yue Hong both bowed slightly and said, "Teacher Gao."

Teacher Gao said, "Has the list of students responsible for the assessment been drafted?"

Yue Hong said, "It has been drafted and I was asked to bring it over." As he said that, he handed the list over, "Please take a look, Teacher Gao."

Teacher Gao waved his hand, "Don't show it to me. Hand it over to the school board. At least half of it will be deleted. The trustee committee will definitely add in their favorite students."

Bian Feng raised his head and said, "Then there are still at least half of the people left."

"Is it useful?"

Teacher Gao shook his head and said, "There are so many people this year, that's because the higher-ups put pressure on us, but the greater the pressure, the greater the rebound. There are already so many frustrating things, and now this is happening again. What's the point of all this trouble... Forget it," he said halfway, then seemed to change his mind again. He grabbed the list from Yue Hong's hand and frowned, "Let's take a look. Let's do our best, even if it's not very useful."
