The confusion on Li Jinchen's face still remained.

Xia Yunxi touched his head and hugged him in her arms with amusement.

No matter how serious Li Jinchen usually is, he is still a five-year-old child.

It was my first time participating in such a competition, so I couldn’t help but feel a little insecure.

Xia Yunxi understood. She patted him on the back and said, "It's okay. Even if we're defeated, we can keep trying when we get back. Failure is the mother of success. No one succeeds the first time they start."

Li Jinchen seemed to understand, but the comfort from his mother still made him indulge in it.

Feeling his mother's embrace, Li Jinchen secretly vowed that he must work hard.

When the time comes, he needs to get his father's consent to live with his mother.

Xia Yunxi didn't know what the child was thinking.

After accompanying Li Jinchen outside for a while to get some fresh air, I returned to the hall and the results were already out.

Li Jinchen was selected for the second round.

It was expected, but Li Jinchen couldn't help but feel happy, whether it was his mother bringing him to participate in the competition or meeting so many people...

These were all experiences he faced for the first time, so while they were strange, he couldn't help but feel excited when he learned that he was selected.

Xia Yunxi hugged him and kissed him twice, "See, Mommy knew you could succeed."

Li Jinchen showed a shy smile on his face, and buried his little butt in his mother's arms, feeling very embarrassed.

In the second round of PK, hundreds of children had already fought on the field.

Only a few dozen people are left on the stage, and the second round can be completed in one go.

The difficulty of the PK competition has been increased to four-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Only this time did Xia Yunxi feel a little nervous.

Looking at the child on the stage, who was obviously eight or nine years old, sitting opposite Li Jinchen.

This is a competition where the age and cognition are not equal. Xia Yunxi is worried that no matter how talented Jinchen is, he is still just a kindergarten kid after all.

Looking around, Jinchen is basically the youngest among the children left behind.

Xia Yunxi was very worried about him.

…

Fortunately, this time it went very quickly and soon the children had handed in their papers one after another.

Xia Yunxi felt relieved a little. The host did not let the children leave the stage. Instead, the names of these children appeared on the big screen behind them.

Then the test papers are distributed and scored by the guest judges.

It looks like this is the third round of competition in a row.

Xia Yunxi kept staring at the big screen, which was suddenly marked with a red cross as the papers were being graded.

The host was introducing the judges sitting in the first row. Compared to the four judges with aloof status, the guests sitting in the front row were all examiners from the Education Bureau, schools and other systems behind the scenes.

After a while, dozens of children were eliminated and only about twenty were left.

And Li Jinchen...

Xia Yunxi used the name Xia Yuan, which happened to be among these twenty or so.

Xia Yunxi was truly relieved. She hadn't expected that Li Jinchen would actually fight until the last game.

Looking at the little guy standing in the middle of a group of children who were a head taller than him, his little face was tense. Compared with some other children who looked around, he was so serious that he didn't even look like a child.

"Okay, next is the last round. Our teacher Liu Wei will set the questions."

As the host finished speaking, an old man with white hair started listing questions with an iPad.

After a while, the questions appeared on the big screen on the stage.

After seeing the title clearly, many people in the audience gasped.

Xia Yunxi also stared intently. She hadn't expected the other party to come up with an equation...

However, when I saw those tall children, I began to understand a little.

The children who are able to participate in the competition may look young, but the level of knowledge they have involved may be many times higher than that of their peers.

Just looking at Li Jinchen, the shortest child in the row, Xia Yunxi sighed inwardly.

After the question came out, the twenty or so children lowered their heads and began to convert.

Li Jinchen also frowned and concentrated on calculating.

Xia Yunxi clenched her hands nervously, worried about Li Jinchen, and at the same time felt that the organizer was very unfair.

An ordinary child, at the age of ten, is at most in the fourth or fifth grade.

But that question was clearly prepared for those children.

The age disparity is destined to be an unfair comparison!

The competition didn't take long as the host collected the children's answers.

Then the dance session began, giving everyone a break and also giving the judges time to mark the papers.

When Xia Yunxi met Li Jinchen, she wanted to comfort him, but she didn't expect that the little guy would be calmer than her.

Xia Yunxi rubbed his head with amusement, took him to drink some water, and then found a place to wait patiently.

It didn't take long, after a few dances.

The host then asked the remaining children to come on stage and began to announce their results.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the atmosphere was very heated.

Originally, Xia Yunxi was worried that they would record a video, but after looking around, she didn't see any cameras, so she felt relieved.

What Xia Yunxi didn't know was that the organizer did record a video in order to keep a low profile, but the camera was installed on the ceiling.

It's not formal, it's just a guide stone for this competition.

If the effect is good, there will be more and more such competitions in the future.

There was warm applause in the arena.

Xia Yunxi looked up and saw that nearly half of the children on the big screen had been marked with crosses by the judges.

Li Jinchen was not inside.

Xia Yunxi's heart was slightly lifted.

As one child after another was eliminated, Li Jinchen's name was never called on the field.

Xia Yunxi couldn't help but hope, could it be possible that he made it into the top ten?

Like applying for her idea, the top ten came out.

Li Jinchen was indeed inside.

At this time, among the ten children, Li Jinchen was the youngest and the shortest.

For some unknown reason, the host let Li Jinchen stand in the center.

At the same time, many people's eyes were focused on Li Jinchen.

Even the judges were surprised. When they were marking the papers, there were only names. The children's ages were not listed, so the judges didn't know who was who.

As the results were announced one after another, only the top three were left.

Xia Yunxi heard the noisy noises from the audience. Everyone's attention was on the three children fighting side by side on the stage.

Li Jinchen was among them.

Xia Yunxi covered her mouth excitedly. She didn't expect Jinchen to be so amazing and actually made it into the top three.

What surprised her even more was that the third place winner came out, and then the second place winner also came out...

Finally, only the last one is left...

That little guy was so short that he only reached the height of an adult's thigh.

He stood up straight, his face tense and expressionless, as if what happened in the audience had little to do with him.
