Chapter 114: Chapter 113 Let the Competition Begin (Initial orders are weak, let’s explode with more subscriptions today!)
The third test.
Xu Lingjun finally won once, narrowly taking the lead with the highest score in a single subject, surpassing Li Jingjun. Although his victory was somewhat crafty.
Unfortunately… if you look at the total score, there’s no doubt that he’s still quite far behind Li Jingjun.
Previously, everyone thought Xu Lingjun was just unbalanced in his skills and feared he’d fall further behind, but unexpectedly, his performance was outstanding… This time, even the normally indifferent Pavilion Masters from the other three academies started taking an interest, quietly discussing whether Xu Lingjun might be able to achieve a comeback from behind.
After all, only three subjects have been tested, and the score difference between them isn’t too significant.
Maybe he could make a spectacular comeback after all.
No time to rest, the fourth test started again.
“Practical test, everyone draw lots!”
Gu Xi said, “Next, you’ll face off in pairs, and based on your performance, we’ll give you scores. Remember, this time it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. If your performance is subpar, the winner’s score might be lower than the loser’s.”
After she finished speaking, she signaled for everyone to come up and draw lots.
There were a total of 147 people, so 147 numbers were quickly distributed.
As everyone showed their number plates.
Number one versus number two, number three versus number four.
But when the gaze fell on Xu Lingjun.
There was an amused smile on her face.
She recalled the Pavilion Master’s earlier instructions. Before the test, the Pavilion Master had already instructed her to delve into Xu Lingjun’s potential…
To see what kind of talent he had…
If his martial talent was just average, then maybe it’s time to persuade him to join Zhanzheng College.
And how to conduct the test?
It all comes down to this martial test… simply put, shooting and martial skills are just auxiliary to combat.
Combat is the most essential.
She asked with a smile, “What a coincidence, we seem to have an odd number of candidates this time, who drew number 147?”
Xu Lingjun raised his hand.
“Alright, the first 146 people have opponents, but you don’t… how about I become your opponent? Don’t worry, I won’t go all out.”
She chuckled, “Kid, I’ve been wanting to test your depth for a long time now.”
From afar.
The always silent Zhong Dawei clenched his number tightly.
Number 78.
Far from Xu Lingjun, over a hundred people… the chance of being directly paired with him is minuscule.
He thought to himself, just as expected, she does indeed view Xu Lingjun differently.
Xu Lingjun was also taken aback.
He had thought his opponent would be Li Jingjun.
After all, up to this point, he had been firmly in second place, and even the third-ranked Zong Xiaoping was far behind.
Who would’ve thought…
That the instructor would personally step into the ring.
As the test began.
Ten fighting arenas slowly rose from the ground.
“Numbers one and two, three and four… the first twenty entrants, please enter the arenas. The rule is not to fatally harm your opponent, no weapons allowed. If anyone specializes in using weapons, approach me for special permission, and I will assign another examiner to watch.”
Under Gu Xi’s guidance.
The first twenty entrants stepped onto the stage.
And number one was clearly Li Jingjun.
Number two turned out to be… Zong Xiaoping.
Zong Xiaoping’s face turned white.
He clearly didn’t expect to face such a formidable opponent, was he doomed to get zero points this round?
He had quite some confidence in himself, though he usually didn’t boast, he did feel a sense of pride.
But it depends on who you’re comparing with… facing Xu Lingjun was already tough, and now this Li Jingjun seems even more monstrous than Xu Lingjun.
Was he destined to face these situations?
“Please go ahead and display your martial skills.”
Li Jingjun stood silently on the other side and said, “I’m not very good with words, but I’ll give you a chance… Don’t think I’m looking down on you because if I went all out, you wouldn’t be able to take even a single move.”
Zong Xiaoping was suddenly overjoyed.
He was someone who cared about face, but after being repeatedly overshadowed by Xu Lingjun, face?
What is that?
“No worries, you’re very eloquent.”
Instantly, Zong Xiaoping’s favorability towards Li Jingjun shot up to the maximum… Clearly indicating a willingness to act alongside him.
She didn’t spare his dignity.
But that was still better than Xu Lingjun’s silver tongue, with all his false humility before smashing him, only to flattering him afterward.
Damn you and your flattery.
Zong Xiaoping now hated the kind of people who said one thing and did another.
“Thank you.”
With a forceful stomp, his right foot struck the ground, sending rubble flying, blocked by the surrounding light screen, creating ripples of light circles.
He turned into a cannonball, flying towards Li Jingjun with a kick.
Legendary Martial Skill, Liefeng Leg, ensures speed and power are in no way compromised. Though slightly lacking in technique, facing an opponent of similar strength meant that a torrent of attacks could suppress the opponent completely.
But when his first kick was gently blocked by Li Jingjun.
Zong Xiaoping realized she wasn’t joking about defeating him in one move… The gap in their strength was enormous.
She must at least be in the True Transformation Realm, not even comparably to early True Transformation beginners.
Despite being peers.
Zong Xiaoping decided to steady his heart… If destined to lose, he needed to make it a fight worth remembering.
He started to fully exhibit his martial skills.
And Li Jingjun didn’t deliberately hold back, she merely repressed her cultivation to match his level and instantly gained the upper hand… But at least she gave Zong Xiaoping a chance to struggle.
The fight between them ended quickly.
After twenty moves.
Zong Xiaoping was defeated, kicked out of the ring.
However, going toe-to-toe against Li Jingjun, who held back only in cultivation, not martial skill, proved Zong Xiaoping’s strength was indeed considerable.
Gu Xi nodded in approval.
Glancing at Xu Lingjun beside her, she genuinely hoped to witness a fierce battle, but… if the Pavilion Master instructs it, she must comply.
The scores came out.
Li Jingjun 115 points!
Zong Xiaoping received 88 points.
Despite losing, his score was higher than several victorious candidates in other batches.
Gu Xi said with a smile, “Li Jingjun, while your combat experience is decent, it falls short of excellence. That’s probably why your parents sent you here, so you could train and compete against peers of similar capability. Your actual score was only 105 points, but your courtesy to your peers merits a ten-point bonus. Compete only when meaningful, trampling peers for nothing is excessive.”
Li Jingjun responded silently, “Thank you, teacher.”
Gu Xi said, “Next batch, on the stage.”
Ten batches of students quickly followed on stage.
With over a hundred students, even testing in sets of ten required six or seven consecutive rounds… Luckily, the students’ strengths were mediocre, with few trump cards. Most battles were clumsy and unskilled, except for Li Jingjun who put up a display of talent.
Soon, over seventy rounds of tests concluded.
Gu Xi rubbed her neck, saying, “Xu Lingjun, come, it’s time for us to get some practice, sister is eager to test your mettle… Don’t worry, sister will deliberately fight fair, suppressing her cultivation to match your realm.”
