Becoming a life winner from infancy

"Next, let's congratulate the coach from Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall of Mei City, Meng Qing, for coming on stage to give her victory speech. A big welcome to everyone!"

"Thank you, thank you, everyone..."

The last time Meng Qing gave a public speech in front of so many people was when she was a child, and she had just finished being affectionate with Fang You, so she was somewhat shy and nervous.

"We hear that Coach Meng Qing has only recently started learning, and at such a young age, she has managed to come out on top in the competitive world of martial arts halls. How do you feel right now?"

"Ah, I'm just so, so excited!"

Meng Qing was jumping around excitedly on stage, and the projection of her on the big screen was spectacular, which also triggered waves of cheers from the audience.

"That leg is so muscular, no, I mean that face is so fair! No, that chest is so perky!"

"Does anyone know if this martial arts hall is taking kids like me?"

"Don't judge by my looks; I'm just a baby of merely 12 years and 100 months. I want to become a disciple of Coach Meng Qing too!"

After all, martial arts competition is a highly physical and confrontational sport, so it is rare to see a young and beautiful female college student like Meng Qing. Therefore, the audience paid extremely high attention to her.

"Your duel with Hall Master Lu Ka was breathtaking, especially the final move, which was nothing short of a stroke of genius, turning the tables and achieving a stunning comeback. Where did the inspiration for that move come from?"

"The inspiration for that move... It was developed with a very cute kid I know."

"We noticed that the student who won the championship in the children's category, Fang You from the same martial arts hall, is he the cute kid you mentioned?"

Faced with the host's question, Meng Qing scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Ahaha... it does have something to do with You You, he's my student."

"Good, very good! This is what you call 'great teachers produce great students.' All the martial arts students from Mei City are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Although student Fang You is only 8 years old, he has displayed talent that rivals active competitors!

While we congratulate Coach Meng Qing on her victory, we also hope that student Fang You can maintain his level and strive to become the beacon of hope for China's martial arts sports, a star of tomorrow!"

Meng Qing received a new medal and walked off the stage, then ran over to greet and chat with Fang You.

At this moment, Fang You's gaze was focused on Meng Qing.

He was testing the effects of his new talent:

Insightful Eyes, activate!

[Name: Meng Qing]

[Overall Talent Evaluation: A]

[Core Profession: Martial Artist lv3+1]

[Profession Evaluation: In the highly popular martial arts scene of China, Meng Qing has a great advantage: she has a face and body that wouldn't lose to top-tier celebrities. Of course, the most important thing is having fortuitous encounters like this. We believe her future in the martial arts world will be a smooth journey, bright and promising!

However, please note that her current character is still relatively soft and too dependent on your help. She still has to grow and become a strong and independent master of martial arts.]

This panel looked similar to his own professional system.

An overall talent evaluation of just A for Meng Qing...

The overall talent evaluation has nine levels, from F to SSS. Although A ranks as superior talent, don't forget that Meng Qing gained her level by ingesting the talent energy infused by Emperor Youyou, and even then, it took two applications to reach this level. So, apart from martial arts and appearance, her other areas might be cause for concern.

Although Fang You's Martial Artist professional level is only one higher than Meng Qing's, the actual difference in combat is still quite exaggerated. This shows that professional level alone cannot fully testify to one's strength.

Meanwhile, the head of the martial arts hall, Meng Xing, took the initiative to greet one of the heavyweight guests and key evaluators, Jin Tailai, the respected elder, after the award ceremony.

"Elder Jin, good to see you. I am Meng Xing, head of the Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall in Mei City. Here's my business card."

"Hmm..."

After meeting Meng Xing, Jin Tailai stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Your martial arts hall in Mei City... it's developing very well, isn't it? Keep up the good work and strive to go further in the future to cultivate promising talents for our Jingji Martial Arts Hall."

"Th-thank you for your recognition, Elder Jin! We will definitely do our best to carry the Jingji Martial Arts legacy forward!"

Jin Tailai turned to Meng Xing and instructed: "Also, remember to keep hold of the kid who won the championship. Persuade him to continue learning martial arts in the children's hall."

"Another thing, make sure that child participates in the dan ranking competition at the end of the year. He has a good chance of breaking the record set by Yue Yipei for the youngest Bronze-Level Warrior and become a new pillar of Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall. With his current strength, age is not an issue at all. This is a great opportunity, and you must cherish it."

"Yes, yes... We will not let you down, Elder!"

Seeing his sister, Meng Qing, warmly interacting with Fang You, Meng Xing also felt a sense of duty.

After speaking with Jin Tailai, Meng Xing took the initiative to approach his sister, Meng Qing.

"Not bad... Your progress is truly rapid."

"Can't you just congratulate me properly for winning the championship? I am working hard for the martial arts hall..."

"...These things, everyone knows them in their heart."

"Why are you always like this—"

"Alright, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Meng Xing shared his plan with his sister.

"Eh... You want me to officially take on the role of coach at the martial arts hall?"

Meng Qing was surprised, "But I'm still in university..."

"No problem, you just hang the title first, come over to teach a few classes on holidays."

Meng Xing reminded his sister, "Also, your position will be as a special advisor coach. Aside from some public classes, you only need to be responsible for one person on regular days."

"...Are you talking about You You?"

"Exactly, you have to figure out a way to keep him around. It's okay if he doesn't come to class, but he must continue to be registered with our martial arts hall."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I can't persuade him... You know what kind of child he is."

"So you don't want to continue mentoring him? If you don't go, I'll have to fight for it myself."

"Hey, hey, that won't do!"

Meng Qing grabbed Meng Xing and said, "Youyou still... still needs me! He sort of listens to me a bit."

"Then, keep it up."

Given Fang You's current level of strength, he could no longer learn what he wanted to advance in at the children's martial arts hall, but considering the effort Fang You had already put into this path of development, it was not a question of giving up altogether. So, when negotiating with Meng Qing, he agreed to her requests on the spot after hearing them.

Thus, not only did Meng Qing become a special guidance coach, but Fang You also became a sort of honorary special student, obtaining the prestigious status of having lifetime free access to classes and a private independent training room at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall.

After acquiring the talent "Insightful as Torchlight," Fang You began earnestly assessing the overall talent ratings of those around him, with everyone's quality ranging between C and A.

For example, his mom Chen Xuan had an overall talent rating of B, and Aunt Lin Yi had an A rating.

Uncle Xia Xia Anyang was a rare S, with his main occupation being a rather interesting level 6 "Electric Guitar Player." It seemed that his career achievements as a boss still hadn't surpassed the talent of his younger days.

And his father Fang Guanghui was a rare E.

The main profession of Fang Guanghui also took Fang You by surprise.

It was "Paru Trainer level 4."

This dad of his never really worked formally, focusing all his energy on training Paru!

Emperor Youyou's Paru was taken out by his dad to play during leisure times every day.

It seems his dad could only show his real strength when playing around...

Of course, in the end, when mentioning the combined talent evaluation, one cannot forget to mention Xia Nuo, the childhood friend of Emperor Youyou.

[Name: Xia Nuo]

[Overall Talent Rating: SS]

[Core Profession: Primary School Student level 8]

[Professional Evaluation: What is happiness? Happiness is... Happiness is... being a carefree, simple-minded god-tier primary school student, just like Xia Nuo!]

This was the highest professional level Fang You had seen to date.

Level 8 meant Leading Level, indicating that Xia Nuo was at the pinnacle in the field of being a primary school student.

It was somewhat embarrassing to mention, because even a child as uniquely talented as Emperor Youyou only had a maximum occupation level of 7 with the "Humanoid Succubus."

Of course, Nuo Nuo's overall talent was also quite exaggerated. An SS rating meant she might be the child nearest to Fang You in talent.

It's hard to say what part the "Reverse Life" played in this.

But, it was somewhat expected...

After all, she had been growing up alongside him.

After the competition journey at the martial arts hall came to an end, summer vacation was also gradually drawing to a close. At this time, Xia Nuo had also finished her summer study plan and started to prepare for the last goal of summer vacation—

"Next Monday, we're going to Qiankun City to watch the rocket launch, Youyou! Are you excited, thrilled?"

"Hmm... It's okay."

In the secret base "Paradise" built by everyone together, Xia Nuo was bubbling with excitement as she showed Fang You her prepared itinerary, having drawn a route map and a list of essentials on the blackboard.

Fang You was accompanying Xia Nuo for fun, so he was also listening to the plans Xia Nuo discussed with her dad.

"We'll first take a bus to Fu City together, then from Fu City, we'll take a plane to Qiankun City. It's a 4-hour flight! Oh, right... I just remembered, I also need to bring our astronomical telescope."

"We're supposed to watch the rocket lift-off from the launch viewing platform, right? The astronomical telescope won't be of any use."

"The telescope isn't for that."

Xia Nuo patiently explained to Fang You, "The day before, we can also observe the Perseid meteor shower together. It'll be really clear from Qiankun City. This time we can properly observe the stars together; it'll be a trillion times clearer than in Mei City!"

Ah, meteor showers...

Honestly, when kids say they love astronomy and star-gazing, it's usually a passing interest. After all, just staring at them can be quite uninteresting, but Xia Nuo persisted. Every night, she would diligently observe the moon and write her observation diary.

She could be said to be a bona fide little astronomy enthusiast.

However, seeing Xia Nuo's eager anticipation to go made Fang You also become a bit expectant.

Ah, meteor showers...

It felt like one could gain quite a bit of knowledge energy from them.

Maybe making a wish before the meteor showers could also lead to acquiring growth talents.

In any case, it seemed like a very valuable trip.

Moreover, this trip involved going to Qiankun City with Uncle Xia.

Even if there were no triggered missions, the knowledge energy could probably be reaped in abundance...

When it came time like this, the "Light of An Yang's" knowledge energy seemed especially sweet.

Hopefully, the "Domain Expansion" feature would be unlocked before the end of summer vacation.
