The news that Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing had broken through the two-player mode quickly spread throughout the school.
Many people were stunned.
Forget about Gu Qiongsheng, but who the hell is Zhou Qing?
Who came out of some remote corner and could actually complete the two-player mode?
The key point is... Zhou Qing was still an unknown person in Class F a week ago.
Someone dug up her mental strength test results from a year ago and took a look: 378 points. Wow, that was at the bottom of the entire school.
After passing the level, Zhou Qing's test result showed 600 points.
It has almost doubled.
Is this Gu Qiongsheng's credit?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
In Class A, upon hearing about this, Lu Yuanji paced back and forth anxiously in the classroom, muttering something.
"Even if a god were alive, it's impossible to increase spiritual power by over 200 in just seven days. I think Zhou Qing must have become enlightened in the past year, and her spiritual power has increased significantly. They took advantage of the misinformation and deceived everyone."
"Think about it, Ling Kaixuan is almost at level B. How much did his mental strength increase in a week? 10 points, or 20 points? 50 points at most!"
"He's the top student in our Yuancheng High School. Even he can't improve so quickly. How can Gu Qiongsheng do that? How can Zhou Qing do that?"
"Or, since the emergence of psychic warriors, has there ever been a genius whose psychic power increased so quickly?"
He was talking with spit flying everywhere. Sheng Zhang, who was lying lazily on the table beside him, suddenly looked up and raised his right hand when he heard the last sentence.
"Who said no?"
Lu Yuanji suddenly turned his head and frowned.
"……who?"
Sheng Zhang scratched the back of his head casually, messing up his short hair, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Hmm... I actually thought of one."
"Qin Yuan, have you heard of it?"
He looked thoughtful and said slowly, "It seems that because his spiritual power increased so rapidly, he had to skip a grade to enroll... About three years ago, he was studying at our Yuancheng High School. Before he even awakened, his spiritual power had already crossed the A-level threshold."
"It is said that even without doing anything, his mental strength increases rapidly. It's as simple as eating and drinking water."
"At the time, many people were optimistic about him. They believed that after his awakening, he would be able to refresh the upper limit of human spiritual power currently measured, from S-level to SSS-level or something like that."
"Then killing the Zerg will be as easy as killing real bugs. What's that old saying, 'The masts and sails are reduced to ashes?'"
Lu Yuanji: “…”
He took a deep breath and said, "I have some impression of him. He was a genius who played the flute very well a few years ago, right?"
He pronounced the word "genius" very lightly, with a hint of contempt.
"I remember that he failed to awaken, falling from A-rank to F-rank. And then he disappeared. Probably too ashamed to show up again... Hey, Sheng Zhang, is it fun to use this kind of trash as a counterexample? We're discussing the impossibility of Gu Qiongsheng helping Zhou Qing break through so quickly. Absolutely not!"
Sheng Zhang: “…Oh.”
Sheng Zhang curled his lips in boredom, stretched, lay down on the table again, and picked up a ballpoint pen.
Lu Yuanji was still walking around in circles in the classroom.
His expression was visibly gloomy, his brows were tightly knitted together, and he kept muttering "impossible" while gritting his teeth and saying Gu Qiongsheng's name.
Sheng Zhang listened to his mumbling and casually sketched a picture on the table with a ballpoint pen.
She has a slender figure with perfect curves, and her neat ponytail swings in a graceful arc in the air. She holds a dagger in her hand with a ray of light on the tip.
It was the outline of a young girl.
Lu Yuanji glanced at him and his face suddenly turned dark.
"Wipe it off, wipe it off, what are you doing?"
Sheng Zhang shrugged, erased the sketch on the screen indifferently, turned the ballpoint pen in his palm a few times, and threw it aside.
But after a moment, he asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Lu, why do you always have a problem with Gu Qiongsheng?"
"Is there any grudge?"
Lu Yuanji's expression suddenly froze.
His eyes were somewhat dim, and his expression was extremely ugly. After a moment of silence, he sneered, "Nothing."
"I simply don't like her, that's all."
Sheng Zhang blinked.
He wanted to ask something else when the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.
"Bang!"
Zhao Qingke rushed in with rapid breathing, her pretty face pale, and rushed straight to Lu Yuanji: "Not good, not good..."
She looked like she had suffered a great shock, her carefully trimmed bangs were a little messy, her pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes flickered constantly.
Lu Yuanji was puzzled and looked up at her: "What?"
What news could be worse than two weaklings from Class F making it through the two-player mode?
Zhao Qingke's face turned pale, and he spoke with difficulty, "I was just outside the principal's office, and the people inside were discussing the Ministry of Education's latest policy. They said they were going to take back all the special recruitment quotas and switch to a bonus point system."
“And the places are no longer allocated by school, but are selected based on the results of the inter-school league.”
She paused for a moment, her teeth biting her lower lip.
"Does this mean... our place will be lost?"
Lu Yuanji: “…”
Oh shit!
…
The inter-school league is a joint competition among the six military colleges on Tianyuan Star, usually held one to two months before the alliance exam.
The competition format will be closer to the major exams of previous years, which is equivalent to advance training. It will not only allow students to have a clear idea of their own level, but also allow them to feel the atmosphere of the major exam in advance, so as to avoid being nervous when entering the examination room.
Generally speaking, this game is an internal competition within Tianyuan Star.
But this year, there are obviously new changes.
"I heard this exam is going to be very strict. The military will be sending people to the school to serve as examiners, and the format will be completely overturned. People from the War College will also be there, and they'll award extra points based on students' performance."
Zhao Qingke was like an eggplant hit by frost, his whole body was wilted and his voice was weak.
The special recruitment quota that we had worked so hard to get was completely canceled by a policy just one week after we got it, and before we could even enjoy it.
Zhao Qingke felt her heart break, the reluctance and unwillingness wracking her with exhaustion. Especially because of this incident, she had made up her mind to break up with Gu Qiongsheng, making a huge fool of herself in front of her classmates, completely ruining her image.
In the end, all the efforts were in vain?
People doing things?!
Zhao Qingke felt so painful that his chest ached. "Re-divide... Sigh, I wonder how much they will give."
The First War College is so popular that 2.3 billion candidates from all universities in the entire galaxy are vying for it. Even Zhao Qingke doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be admitted.
What if you are not in good condition and perform poorly on the day of the exam?
Damn it, which bastard proposed this policy change? It simply leaves her no way out.
Lu Yuanji was also a little uneasy: “Adding points…there has never been such a precedent. I wonder how many points will be added to each person?”
“It shouldn’t be too little.”
Sheng Zhang leaned back in his chair, his chin resting lazily. "The Dawn Legion was completely annihilated, and the Federation suffered heavy losses. The formation of a new legion is imminent... This must be the reason for the special recruitment reform. The situation on the front line is tight, and they can't wait to get a batch of new soldiers."
"Tsk, the War College probably wants to expand its enrollment so more people can go to the battlefield, or at least provide more cannon fodder."
The other two: "..."
"Oh, sorry, sorry."
Sheng Zhang reacted and smiled at them apologetically: "It was just a joke, cannon fodder or something, don't mind it."
Lu Yuanji: “…You’d better shut up.”
He turned his head anxiously and looked out the blue window.
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, but for some reason Lu Yuanji felt it was extremely dazzling.
Troubles come one after another, it's almost overwhelming.
After thinking quietly for a while, Lu Yuanji suddenly spoke again:
"Where is Ling Kaixuan? Does he know about this?"
The author has something to say:
There's another chapter this afternoon~
