Chapter 49 - 49: Super Dark Horse
“208th place, Rampage Fifth School, Xu Kun. Points: 500.
“207th place, Salt Lake Second School, Li Feiyu. Points: 501.
“206th place, Guanghua City Experimental High School, Chu Daliang. Points: 501.
Gu Lingyu was excited when he saw the first name. He was from his base city.
Moreover, he had also inquired about it. The strength of Xu Kun had not yet reached the realm of a martial artist.
Originally, he thought that Xu Kun was so weak. In the forest hunt, there was a high chance that he would either die or be seriously injured. He did not expect this kid to kill his way into an official student.
It was a good start.
He looked at the big screen with confidence.
One had to know that the other two people from Rampage Base were the genius girl of the Su family and the one who was ranked first in the test.
The two of them were much stronger than Xu Kun!
Next, names flashed across the screen.
When the name of the 50th place flashed across, Gu Lingyu’s forehead began to sweat.
“It’s okay, calm down. Wasn’t he ranked 41 before? Calm down!” Gu Lingyu muttered.
As the ranking went higher, the name of the 20th place also appeared.
Gu Lingyu’s gaze gradually became dull.
Chu Huaiyu, the president of Changhong Base’s Martial Arts Association, sighed and patted Gu Lingyu’s shoulder.
The rankings were getting higher and higher.
Not only did Lin Bai’s name not appear.
Even the name of the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Zi, did not appear.
Could it be that both of them had been eliminated?
Although Su Zits aptitude was very high and her family was rich in resources, this girl was a little lazy. In terms of strength, she probably could not reach the top ten.
As for Lin Bai, his talent was outstanding, but without cultivation resources, there was probably a big gap between him and Su Zi.
Gu Lingyu’s thoughts were like a wheel of fire as he analyzed the situation rapidly.
However, no matter how he mentally prepared himself, the two names did not appear on the big screen.
9th place…
NO!
8th place…
NO!
Gu Lingyu gave up completely when the 6th place appeared.
He plopped back into his chair and let out a long sigh.
A prodigy-like child was just like a shooting star, only dazzling for a moment! Nonetheless, it was good now. At least one of them had become an official student.
Gu Lingyu comforted himself.
“There are still five people left. I’ll personally announce them now.”
Pang Shanhai walked onto the stage.
The presidents of the various associations did not have any objections.
In their opinion, only the top five had the right to be called out by Pang Shanhai.
Opening the folder in his hand, Pang Shanhai was stunned.
Obviously, a name that surprised him appeared on the document. “5th place, Hengchong High School, Su Zi. Points: 3,212 points.”
“What?! Is it su Zi?”
Gu Lingyu exclaimed and looked up at Pang Shanhai on the podium. Not only Gu Lingyu, but many leaders also stood up in disbelief.
“That girl from the Su family? Did I hear wrongly?”
“I’m afraid you didn’t hear wrongly. A dark horse! I didn’t expect that girl to be so strong!”
“Impossible! I know that girl from the Su family. She’s an early-stage martial artist. Ding Nan from our base is only ranked 8th, and he’s a fourth-stage martial artist, several realms higher than that girl!”
The noise in the room grew louder.
“Silence!”
Seeing this, Pang Shanhai berated and looked at everyone coldly.
The room returned to silence.
Pang Shanhai continued to read, “Fourth place: Clear Sky Base’s First Academy,
Sun Qiang, Points: 3,309 points.”
“That’s not right! On the first day, wasn’t it more than 3,500? Why didn’t it increase?”
“Yeah, could it be that he gave the points to his teammate?”
“That’s even more illogical. The resources for the first place in the entrance exam are massive. No one would give up the first place.”
The president of Clear Sky Base’s Martial Arts Association, Qi Heng, was completely dumbfounded.
What was Sun Qiang doing? Not only did his ranking drop by a lot, but his points were also much lower than on the first day.
‘Is that kid too arrogant, or does he think I’m too old to pick up my saber and can’t bear to punish him?’
“Third place: Zou Xu from the First Academy of Sea City Base. Points: 3,932.”
“It’s just as I imagined. It’s just that why did their rankings drop by one place?
Could it really be that kid, Lin Bai?”
“No way! He was ranked 41st on the first day!”
“Is it possible that he stole the points of the other students?”
“Tsk, to think you’re the president. Don’t tell me you don’t know how many of these students are stage 4 martial artists. A martial artist in stage 1 snatching points from those in stage 4? It’s good enough that he didn’t get robbed!”
With Pang Shanhai’s scolding from last time, this time, their voices were much lower.
At first, Gu Lingyu’s eyes were filled with hope.
However, after hearing the discussions of the other leaders, he calmed down.
He let out a long sigh and threw the unrealistic thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind.
“2nd place: Lin Tianyuan, the First Academy of Shanghai Base. Points: 4,465 points. ”
‘What?”
The president of the Shanghai Base’s Martial Arts Association stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.
“Another dark horse!”
“Everyone, stop hiding. Tell me whose child it is!”
“Could it be Liu Fei from the capital? His strength is extraordinary, and he was also in the top ten during the aptitude test.”
“Yeah. I haven’t seen Liu Fei’s name.”
“It’s not him. When I went to the Liu Family yesterday, the Liu Family’s ancestor lamented that Liu Fei was seriously injured and didn’t have the chance to participate in the elite training! ”
Most of the leaders in the meeting room were curious, while some of them had cold looks.
They had been preparing for the Elite Training Camp for many years.
They were here for the first place in the entrance exam.
This time, Pang Shanhai did not organize any discussion.
He chuckled as he looked at everyone with different expressions.
The meeting room fell silent again.
Only then did he announce with a smile, “First place: Lin Bai, Rampage Base’s Fifth Academy. Points: 7,826 points!” Boom…
The meeting room was in an uproar.
Other than Gu Lingyu, who was still sitting there in a daze, everyone else stood up in disbelief.
Due to their overly agitated emotions, terrifying auras were released from their bodies.
This room was also built with special materials.
If it were any other place, their terrifying auras alone would be enough to collapse the room.
After a bit of noise, everyone turned to look at Pang Shanhai again.
They seemed to be asking if the president’s eyes went blurry such that he mispronounced the name.
Pang Shanhai naturally understood what these people were thinking.
He smiled bitterly and threw the document in his hand to everyone. One had to know that the document had the military seal on it, so it could not be faked.
However, this was also good.
The appearance of a super dark horse could deal a blow to this group of arrogant people.
He wanted them to know that there was always someone better out there.
Gu Lingyu, who was still in a daze, stood up and grabbed the person beside him to ask.
“The one in the first place, Lin Bai, seems to have the same name as my student!”
