Chapter 23
Chapter 23
The entire stadium was silent.
The audience looked at this scene in a daze, and the atmosphere became extremely strange.
‘What’s going on?’
‘The alloy scarecrow…’
‘It exploded?’
‘It was shattered?’
‘In one punch?’
‘Is this a joke?’
They were not the only ones who did not understand the situation.
Even the staff who were preparing for the test were a little at a loss.
Lin Bai’s performance far exceeded their expectations.
After blowing up the alloy scarecrow, a serious problem was placed in front of them.
Should they go up… Or not?
If they did… What were they going to test?
The powder?
Or should they check on the bra-like thing that fell down?
They felt that it was unnecessary.
The results were clear.
However, if they did not do it…
What were they here for?
The situation was in a stalemate.
Fortunately, the host reacted quickly and had a strong mind. He immediately spoke up to help them out of the situation.
“Congratulations, Lin Bai!!
“You easily destroyed an alloy scarecrow with Grade 2 strength. It seems like there’s a promising candidate for first place in this competition.
“Let us chant his name!”
“Lin, Bai!”
The host wanted to change the atmosphere of the venue.
Who knew, the students on the stage did not respond at all as if they were still shocked from just now.
The host had no choice but to smile awkwardly and pick up the name list to save the situation.
“Next, may the staff clear the area and set up a new alloy scarecrow.
“The next challenger is Xu Kun. Please get ready.”
After the announcement, Lin Bai did not leave immediately.
He also cast a proud look at Su Zi and pointed at the iron-plate bra on the ground with a smile.
“Despicable!”
Su Zi gritted her teeth. She could not take it anymore. She clenched her fists and asked, “What do you mean? ”
“Oh?” Lin Bai did not expect Su Zi to interact with him and explained, “I feel like you’re not too happy with the bra you wore last time. Here, I’ll give you a gift.”
“…”
‘A gift?
‘He’s clearly teasing me!’
Su Zi’s face turned red, and she did not know how to refute him.
‘If I say that I’m very satisfied with the bra I wore last time, wouldn’t I be admitting that I’m flat-chested?
‘If I say that I’m not satisfied with either?
‘That’ll be worse!
‘Wouldn’t that be giving Lin Bai another chance to tease me?’
Su Zi gritted her teeth and finally said, “Don’t be smug! Just wait and see how I’ll deal with you in the competition later!”
Unfortunately, Su Zi’s face was cute and her voice was soft, so her harsh words were not lethal.
On the contrary, it made people feel that she was being tsundere.
Naturally, it broke the hearts of many guys.
The group of students in the stands sighed.
“I’m so tired. I’m just here to watch a competition, and they’re publicly displaying affection for each other. I have nothing to say.”
“I didn’t expect that the little devil would have such a side. Love really makes people lose themselves.”
“Wow, I’m so sad to see them flirting with each other. But why don’t I feel troubled at all? I only feel helpless.”
“What else could it be? Lin Bai’s too strong. He crushed the alloy scarecrow with one punch without using any martial skills. We can’t compare to him even if we were to live for eight lifetimes…”
“I thought that the guy who became Beauty Su’s boyfriend would definitely be the public enemy, but now I understand that we don’t even have the right to be jealous.”
“…”
Lin Bai shrugged his shoulders and returned to his class.
Xu Kun was amazed and gave him a thumbs up. “Big Bai, as expected of you.”
“What’s that matter?”
Lin Bai did not understand.
“You were teasing Su Zi in public. What do you think?”
Xu Kun chuckled. “Look how shy she is. I’m afraid she’s going to make many boys who admire her lose sleep tonight!”
Lin Bai gave him a kick. “You should worry about how you’re going to get through the next round. I can’t help you this time. You can only rely on yourself.”
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
Xu Kun looked at the staff on the stage, and a look of victory appeared on his face.
Lin Bai could not help but be curious.
“What’s your current realm?”
“Mortal Body stage 5!” Xu Kun said with confidence.
“Then how are you going to pass the selection?”
Lin Bai was puzzled. His good brother was so weak, so where did he get his confidence from?
“Hehe…”
Xu Kun rubbed his hands and smiled slyly. “When my parents heard that I passed the academy selection and could participate in the mock exam to fight for a place in the Elite Special Training Base, they immediately sold the house and their shop and bought me a magic weapon!”
Lin Bai was surprised. “What is it?”
“It’s a secret!”
Xu Kun kept him in suspense and revealed a cheeky expression. “You’ll know later.”
Lin Bai really wanted to beat him up.
Soon, the staff cleared the area and replaced a new alloy scarecrow.
Xu Kun went on stage at the right time, and his chubby figure made him look calm.
His appearance on the stage caused some discussion.
Many students felt that he must be quite capable to be Lin Bai’s best friend and good brother.
In the end…
“Xu Kun of the Fifth Academy, Mortal Body stage 5. Please get ready!”
The host’s announcement destroyed their fantasies.
The stands suddenly burst into boos.
Many people started to mock Xu Kun, saying, “Isn’t it embarrassing for someone at Mortal Body stage 5 to participate in the selection?” Similar comments were made one after another.
Lin Bai furrowed his eyebrows slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Xu Kun did not seem to care at all. He even laughed when he heard the ridicule.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the host, who was about to announce the start of the match.
“Excuse me, are there any rules that prohibit the use of weapons?”
“Um…” The host was stunned for a moment. After looking at the details in his hand, he said, “Yes, weapons are external aids. They’ll lower the difficulty of the challenge, so it’s not possible.”
Xu Kun asked again, “What about tools? ”
“Huh?”
The host was stunned. “What tool?”
“This kind.”
Xu Kun immediately took out a cylindrical object from his pocket and pressed the end. A sharp metal cone immediately popped out from the front.
It looked a little like a screwdriver…
The stands burst into laughter.
It was as if they were amused by Xu Kun’s behavior.
“…”
The host was also speechless and did not know how to answer. He could only look in the direction of the school leaders for help.
“Let us take a look.”
The principal of First Academy spoke.
Xu Kun immediately sent it over.
The principals of several academies held the ‘screwdriver’ and observed it for a while. They were silent for a while.
‘He’s not thinking of using it to pry open the welded part of the alloy scarecrow, right?’
‘That’s a… Whimsical thought.’
‘It’s impossible.’
What was the strength of the alloy used to make the scarecrow?
The principals knew too well.
It would be a fool’s dream to pry it open with human strength!
Therefore, in the face of Xu Kun’s request, although there were no relevant rules stated, being the ones who made the rules, the principals agreed to it.
They wanted to give the mediocre student a chance to show off his ‘imagination’.
“Thank you!”
Xu Kun was overjoyed and went back to the stage.
The host announced loudly, “The challenge begins!”
The next second, Xu Kun made a move that was beyond everyone’s expectations.
He took a step forward and hugged the alloy scarecrow tightly in his arms!
