Chapter 74: There Were Some Things That Ordinary People Could Not Understand
“Next, Number 03085, name * * *, from No. 2 High School, please give your scores.”
“Remove the highest score, remove the lowest score. Final score… 5.41 points.”
“Next, Number 02…”
One examinee after another passed.
Some were happy, while others were sad.
There were even many people who cried on the spot.
From the preliminary auditions to the group arena, they fought with all their might for an entire day. In the end, they did not even have the qualifications to step onto the main stage of the official competition. It was indeed a big blow.
“Na.” Chen Yu took a sip of his drink and casually patted a girl beside him who was crying bitterly. “Don’t cry anymore. Go back and squat. Come back next year!”
The girl stopped crying and raised her head to glare at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu: “…It’s okay if you don’t know what’s good for you.”
Before long, the spotlight finally shone on Chen Yu.
The eyes of the sixty thousand people present gathered.
Chen Yu raised his head and looked at the dazzling light source above him. He blurted out a song, “The light of the Righteous Path…”
“Number 02333, name Chen Yu, from No. 7 High School. Please rate.”
“Come on!” In the audience seats, although she knew that Chen Yu would advance, Chen Siwen still pressed her palms together nervously. No one knew who she was bowing to.
In the examiners’ seats, the five examiners had an exceptionally long exchange this time.
One of them even replayed the battle video.
After that, the five of them gave their scores.
[9.4]
[9.2]
[9.6]
[10]
[9]
“Woo–”
The scores were displayed on the big screen, and many of the audience members exclaimed in surprise.
“The highest score is removed, 10 points. The lowest score is removed, 9 points. The final score…” The examiners paused for a moment and glanced at Chen Yu. “9.4 points. Congratulations.”
The reason why he said congratulations was that with this kind of score, he would definitely advance to the official competition.
“Oh oh oh oh!”
“Awesome!”
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong…
The crowd instantly erupted into thunderous cheers.
[Inspired: Temporary Adrenaline -4% ; Temporary Strength -5% ; Temporary Spirit -4% ; Temporary Temperament -6% ; Temporary Infectious Power -15%…]
Chen Yu bowed. “I f*cking thank you, everyone.”
“OHHHHHH…”
“You’re the best!”
[Inspired: Temporary Strength -4% ; Temporary Rally Power -17%…]
In the first row of the audience seats in Area A, Sister Qi stood up silently and gave Chen Yu a thumbs up with a smile. Then, she looked at Chen Siwen, who was so excited that it was raining, and turned to leave.
“Next, Number…”
…
All the examinees’ scores had been determined, the head examiner once again stepped onto the stage. “Today’s Group Arena Competition has officially ended. The audience and the examinees who failed to make the cut, please line up and leave in an orderly manner. The 12 participants who have advanced can take a temporary rest in the waiting area for 10 minutes. Then, gather here at my place…”
Walking down the stage and returning to the waiting area of No. 7 High School, Chen Yu saw that the leaders of No. 7 High School were packing up their things.
“You guys are leaving too?”
“Yes.” The dean nodded. “For tomorrow’s challenge tournament, except for the principal, no one is allowed to stay in the waiting area.”
“Where did the principal go?”
“He went to apply for accommodation with your file.”
“I’m staying here tonight?”
“Yes, and you can’t leave. You can only leave after the College Entrance Examination tomorrow.”
“Oh. Save me a chair.”
“That’s for sure.” The dean picked up a chair and placed it in front of Chen Yu, pursing his lips as he looked at him.
“Is there something on my face?” Chen Yu touched his face.
“Baa.” The dean sighed. “I’m just a little depressed. Our No. 7 High School can actually produce such an outstanding student like you.”
“Then you should be happy. Depressed my ass.”
“If you really were trained by No. 7 High School, that would be great.” The dean’s face seemed to have aged for a moment. He picked up his backpack, carried it on his back, and slowly walked away…
After finishing the last sip of his drink, Chen Yu smacked his lips. “I guess I don’t have any experience with this. How can a childhood sweetheart feel better than a student from the heavenly descent department?”
After sitting on the chair and resting for a short while, the principal of No. 7 High School returned. He carried a set of tights over. “Student Chen Yu, this is the uniform that you will be wearing for the competition tomorrow. See if it fits. If you are not comfortable, I will go and change it for you.”
“You’re going to compete in this thing?”
“Yes. Your name and number are also on it.” The principal threw the tights to Chen Yu. “If you want to buy this suit, you’ll need at least 10,000 yuan to get it. It’s made of excellent polymeric materials, and it’s very resistant to attacks. It’s also close to your body, so it won’t affect your activities.”
“Really? Then I’ll split it later…”
“It’s fine no matter how you split it.” The principal chuckled. “It definitely won’t break.”
“I’m not afraid of it breaking.” Chen Yu licked his lips. “I’m afraid that it’ll split on the bulge of my crotch.”
The principal: “???”
“Forget it, I won’t be able to explain it to mortals like you.”
After changing into a brand new competition uniform, Chen Yu moved his body tentatively and discovered that it was indeed much lighter than the martial arts uniform that Sister Qi had prepared.
“What are the two little red dots on the shoulder of your shirt for?”
“They are for positioning,” the principal of No. 7 High School explained. “Tomorrow’s official match will be broadcast live. In order to prevent the examinees from moving too fast and causing the camera to lose focus, these two positioning points have been specially installed. No matter where you run, the camera will catch up.”
“Excellent, rigorous, not bad.”
Lowering his head and looking at the serial number on his chest, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. “I’m No. 21?”
“Yes. First place in the group arena, serial number 21.”
“Then the serial number of Wang Baoqiang, who won first place in the literature examination, should be 1, right?”
“Yes.” The principal of No. 7 High School nodded. “Tomorrow’s official match order will also be related to this serial number. “Odd-numbered group, even-numbered group, both have 16 people. You are from the odd-numbered group. After winning four consecutive matches to become the champion of the odd-numbered group, you will compete with the champion of the even-numbered group to become the champion.”
“Then I will definitely have to fight with Wang Baoqiang.”
“Yes. Now that you and Wang Baoqiang are in your odd-numbered group, they are already known as the Devil Group.”
He continued to communicate with the principal for a few minutes.
When the time was up, Chen Yu returned to the central arena.
The audience had all disappeared, and there were only 12 examinees left. As far as the eye could see, it was exceptionally spacious.
“Congratulations again for advancing to the official competition.” The Chief Examiner went straight to the point. “Tonight, everyone will be staying here. No one is allowed to leave the stadium for any reason. Next, I will return my cell phone to everyone. You can call your guardians to cook for you and live with you.”
“There are two reasons for this arrangement. First, to prevent the examinees from eating unfamiliar food and affecting the state of the College Entrance Examination. Second, the staff of the admissions office of each major university can discuss the intention of applying with you and your guardian.”
An examinee raised his hand. “Do they have to come?”
The Chief Examiner looked at the examinee. “I’m only giving you the right to find a guardian. Do any of you have any questions?”
Chen Yu raised his hand.
The Chief Examiner looked at Chen Yu again and narrowed his eyes. “You ask.”
“How many guardians can you get at most?”
“Two.”
“Can friends come too?”
“No. Only guardians, or relatives who are related by blood. And you have to bring along your ID card, household register, and other documents. Any questions?”
The examinees were silent.
Chen Yu raised his hand again.
“Ask.”
Chen Yu: “Who to report to when the guardian comes?”
Everyone: “…”
The Chief Examiner’s face twitched. “…Ask me to report.”
