During this time, Wang Zheng noticed that his roommate was acting very strangely. He was not active in exercising, did not socialize, and had not even spoken to anyone in the past few days. He was immersed in his own world and no one knew what he was thinking.

Wang Zheng even saw Chi Bofei's teammates come to find him, but he always seemed impatient, giving them a few perfunctory replies before continuing to stare blankly into space.

However, the fierce look in his eyes told Wang Zheng that his cheap roommate was likely up to something.

That afternoon, Wang Zheng, as usual, absentmindedly brandished his knife while chatting and joking with Chu Xiaoman.

The instructors in charge of swordsmanship instruction were already used to this. Apart from Wu Huan, who always trained seriously, the remaining two slackers from Jingnan were already notorious. These two healing-type awakened individuals always looked listless, slacking off in training, and were content with just getting 60 points.

Even this instructor believed that the two healing specialists who came to Jingnan this time had given up on competing for rankings. He could tell that Chu Xiaoman had some talent; she had worked hard in the first few days of training, but everything changed after Wang Zheng also came to learn swordsmanship.

You can't say Wang Zheng is bad, after all, his physical test scores are only average. He's just too lazy, has no foundation at all, doesn't train seriously, and even led Chu Xiaoman astray.

Although everyone secretly resented his lack of ambition and had given him some pointers, he always acted as if he didn't care, letting the words go in one ear and out the other. Over time, everyone accepted that Wang Zheng really had no drive.

Many teams that intended to compete for rankings have also lowered their guard against Jingnan University, which is exactly the result Wang Zheng wanted.

A few days ago, Wang Zheng discovered that there were no outstanding individuals among this group of trainees and was planning to reveal his true strength, but when he thought of Chi Bofei's strange appearance, he held back.

Wang Zheng had previously heard Ling Tong say that there were more than 6 million test takers this year, but less than 3,000 were naturally awakened. Most of them were taken by Imperial University and Shanghai University, since each of these two universities was recruiting nearly 2,000 students. Therefore, there were very few naturally awakened students left at other schools.

In this competition, regardless of the results, the first and second place winners were both from Beijing University and Shanghai University, so their representatives weren't particularly outstanding. As for the students from the other schools, they were at best slightly better than Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman, but the gap between them and Wang Zheng was too large.

"Wang Zheng, I heard the news. The organizers of this training camp made a mistake in estimating the time. It seems that our learning progress is very fast, so it may have to end early, and the test may start in the next two days." Chu Xiaoman said mischievously, her eyes darting around.

Wang Zheng remained expressionless, his lips moving slightly. "Where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

"You know Ling Tong, right? He overheard the instructors' conversation. He's an awakened superhuman, his ability enhances his hearing. I heard him talking to Yu Yun in our dorm yesterday, and I think it's pretty reliable. Besides, we finished teaching the textbook the day before yesterday, so the daytime training is meaningless and a complete waste of time," Chu Xiaoman continued to answer secretly.

"Don't talk nonsense. The food in the cafeteria here is so good, and the exercise isn't too strenuous. I wish I could stay a few more days. With so many spiritual ingredients available, where will we eat when we get back?"

"That's true, but it's not something I can decide. If I keep eating like this, I'm starting to suspect I'm going to gain weight." Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoman stopped chopping, turned to look at Wang Zheng, and touched her stomach. "Wang Zheng, can you tell me if I've gained weight these past few days?"

"Chu Xiaoman!!! If you don't want to train, get out! Stand at attention, about-face, ten laps around the training field, ready, go!" The instructor's angry voice rang out.

Chu Xiaoman's face immediately fell. She was doomed; she had been caught by the instructor for being careless.

Wang Zheng was suppressing a laugh, secretly gloating. Luckily, I didn't stop, and I didn't even change my expression when I spoke. The training ground is so big, one lap is 1,000 meters, running 10,000 meters in this hot weather must be so tough.

At that very moment, on an uninhabited island just a dozen nautical miles from the training camp, countless soldiers were clearing out wild beasts and installing a large number of cameras. After the island was completely cleared, a large number of specially treated beasts were transported over by cargo ship. These beasts were none other than the species that Wang Zheng and his team had been studying over the past few nights.

...

After dinner, everyone sat in the classroom with little enthusiasm to study. After all, they had already finished the previous lessons, and there wasn't much material to learn. There were only a few types of mythical beasts, and the students with strong mental strength could even recite them backwards.

Chu Xiaoman was still complaining about Wang Zheng, who had made things so bad for her that afternoon, making her run laps as punishment, and Wang Zheng had been mocking her the whole time.

Everyone was laughing and joking together, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just then, Xu Qingyuan walked in, clapped his hands lightly, and the classroom immediately quieted down.

Xu Qingyuan then spoke up: "Congratulations, students, the first phase of training has ended. Your enthusiasm and learning progress have far exceeded our expectations. We must admit that we underestimated your talent before starting the training camp. In just half a month, you have all completed all the courses excellently. I apologize to you all for this."

Therefore, we, the organizers, have unanimously decided to begin the final test tomorrow!

The classroom instantly became lively again. Even Wu Huan's eyes revealed excitement, and Chu Xiaoman looked at Wang Zheng with a smug expression, as if to say, "Come and praise me!"
