"How could this happen..." Xiao Li, who was lying on the ground, looked at Neji who was declared the winner with a blank expression.

"Just one move, one move defeated me..." Xiao Li's face was full of disbelief.

Before the battle, although he did not dare to say that he could defeat Neji 100%, he felt that there was a possibility of victory, after all, he had made so much progress.

He didn't expect that Neji could kill him instantly with the power of thunder.

The strength of the two is not at the same level at all, the difference is huge.

When the people around him saw Xiao Li being instantly killed by Ningci, they didn't show any surprise or disapproval on their faces, because in their understanding, Ningci was a genius who could do anything, while Xiao Li was just an ordinary person.

It is natural that ordinary people cannot defeat geniuses.

Xiao Li stood by frustratedly, watching the battles end one after another. In the end, Neji easily won the first place, and no one could pass the second move in his hands.

Looking at Ningji who had received the first prize and still maintained a calm expression while smiling and praising the teacher, Xiao Li felt a little confused.

'Could it be that no matter how hard I try, an ordinary person like me can't surpass a genius like Neji?'

After practicing hard for half a semester, he wanted to make a splash in the midterm exam, but was defeated by Ningji with one move. Xiao Li was a little discouraged at the moment, feeling that his efforts seemed to be meaningless.

So what's the use of practicing hard? He got up early and slept late every day to practice hard, but he was instantly killed by Neji with one move.

And the students who played all day and did not study or exercise were killed instantly by Neji with one move. So what is the difference between them?

Oh, the difference is that those students at least had fun and had fun.

After returning home, Xiao Li finished his meal and digested his food, then subconsciously went to the nearby training ground to practice and hit wooden stakes as usual.

But after two hits, Xiao Li suddenly stopped.

"Is my practice really useful?" Xiao Li looked confused.

"If you can't catch up with a genius like Neji no matter how hard you try, wouldn't it be better to live a more comfortable life? Like them, just pass the exam and be happy with the rest..."

"But do you really think that would make you happy?"

Suddenly, a man with a watermelon head and thick eyebrows wearing green tights jumped down from the tree and asked Xiao Li in a serious voice.

"Everyone has their own way of living. Some people choose to burn their youth to chase unattainable dreams. Some people choose to live an ordinary life. But don't you know what your inner choice is?"

"The way I want to live..." Xiao Li thought silently.

Of course he knew this, he wanted to become a great ninja, even if he could only use taijutsu.

"I want to become a great ninja, but that's impossible because I don't have genius." Xiao Li said with some frustration.

"No matter how hard ordinary people try, they can't catch up with those geniuses."

"Then why are you still training?" Metkai laughed, showing his shining white teeth.

Only then did Xiao Li realize that he had subconsciously started practicing again.

"Genius does not mean that it cannot be surpassed, but it is extremely difficult to surpass! You must work hard with the determination to surpass everything." Metkai's expression became serious again.

"Hatake Kakashi, do you know?" Metkai asked.

Rock Lee nodded, Kakashi was still very famous in Konoha.

"There is no doubt that Kakashi is a genius, and now my battle with him is forty-two wins and forty losses!"

"I dare not say what will happen in the future. At this stage, I can say that my strength surpasses Kakashi!" Metkai raised his chest and smiled, with two rows of big white teeth shining particularly brightly.

"Could it be that you are the Master Metkai who uses physical skills?" Xiao Li looked at the man in green tights in front of him in surprise.

Although Metkai does not have enough records to be praised, his powerful taijutsu still shines on the Iwagakure battlefield. Although his reputation is definitely not as good as that of Kakashi, he is still somewhat famous in Konoha.

"Yes, I am Konoha's proud blue beast, Metkai!" Metkai nodded.

"Actually, I'm really similar to you. You know, at the beginning, I almost couldn't enter the ninja school because of my talent." Metkai told Xiao Li his past story.

"A strong person like you can't enter the ninja school because of your talent?" Xiao Li was shocked.

Although he knew that there was a Jonin with strong physical skills like Metkai, he really didn't know that Metkai had such a past.

"That's right." Metkai nodded.

"In ninja school, I met Kakashi, my lifelong rival. He was a real genius. He was really strong at that time. The first time I fought with him, he killed me cleanly with just one move.

Defeated." Metkai talked about his experience of meeting Kakashi.

Xiao Li didn't know how to describe his current mood.

Like, so similar. He was told by the teacher that he should go to an ordinary school because of his poor talent. Metkai was almost unable to enroll because of his talent. He had been practicing hard for half a semester and was killed by Ningji. Metkai was also attacked by Kakashi.

Second.

"But how can you give up your dreams just because of one failure? Failure is also an important part of youth! I practiced hard. If I couldn't do five hundred push-ups, I would do a thousand. If I couldn't do it, I would run a hundred laps around the village. In the end,

I chose to surpass Kakashi."

"Xiao Li, I have been observing you for a while. You are very similar to me in the past. You are ordinary but hardworking. Don't deny yourself just because of one failure." Metkai said seriously.

"Hard work is also a kind of talent. We are geniuses who work hard!"

Xiao Li was so excited that he was so excited by what Metkai said that he even wanted to practice all night long.

"Are you willing to be my disciple? Let's work together to surpass all geniuses and use physical skills to become the strongest!" Metkai smiled, showing his big white teeth, and extended his hand to Xiao Li.

"Teacher Kai, I do!" Xiao Li said loudly with excitement on his face.

After learning about Metkay's experience, Metkay directly became Xiao Li's idol.

Because Metkai had a similar experience to Xiao Li, but he had already lived the way Xiao Li wanted to live, becoming a strong man who only used physical skills.

How could Xiao Li not admire and yearn for such a Metkai?

"Okay! Very energetic." Hearing Xiao Li call the teacher directly, Metkai nodded with satisfaction.

"Then let's run around Konoha ten times to warm up and then start training!"

"Okay, Teacher Kai!" The confusion on Xiao Li's face was completely gone, and there was only enthusiasm for cultivation.
