Chapter 118: School Trial

Upon learning that Shen Qinghan was already taken, the yellow-haired boy quickly picked up his chair and left, returning to his original seat.

It’s not far away, just two rows in front.

After the yellow-haired boy left.

Lin Zichen looked around and looked at the freshmen in the gymnasium.

The Martial Arts Academy has the most freshmen, more than the Evolution Academy and the Mechanical Academy combined.

There are 1,896 new students at the Martial Arts Academy.

There are 654 freshmen in the School of Mechanical Engineering.

There are 469 new students in the Evolution College.

Lin Zichen saw these data on the official website during the summer vacation.

This is not only the case at Shanhai University, but also at other universities around the world. The number of martial arts students on campus far exceeds that of evolutionary and mechanical students.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that the thresholds for the School of Evolution and the School of Mechanical Engineering are too high, and only a few candidates can pass the college entrance examination.

Many candidates who fail the college entrance examination but are unwilling to give up will choose to enroll in a martial arts academy.

I plan to continue exercising during my four years in college to improve my body strength, thereby increasing my adaptability to gene fusion and mechanical transformation, and then transfer my major to the School of Evolution or the School of Mechanics.

However, this road is difficult.

Out of ten martial arts students, only one at most can succeed.

The remaining nine unsuccessful ones are likely to do worse than the liberal arts students and art students after graduation.

Lin Zichen continued to look at the freshmen around him.

Soon, his eyes fell on a girl in the gifted class.

The girl was sitting in front of him, wearing a loose sportswear and a short shoulder-length hairstyle that was convenient for high-intensity exercise. She looked very beautiful from the side.

However, the most attractive thing is not the girl's beautiful face, but the pair of animal ears on her head.

They were a pair of furry purple animal ears, as big as a palm, and very conspicuous in the crowd.

Lin Zichen knew that the other party was the dean's daughter that Shen Qinghan mentioned during lunch, and she was the only one among all the freshmen in the school who had gene fusion.

He carefully observed the characteristics of the pair of purple animal ears on the girl's head and quickly determined what kind of exotic animal genes the girl had fused with.

It's the genes of Shadow Night Owl, the same as the genius from Kyoto University.

After fully integrating the Shadow Night Cat gene, one can improve one's agility, reaction ability, motion capture vision, night vision, perception ability, etc.

It looks like it has improved a lot of abilities and is very powerful, but the prerequisite is that it has completely integrated the Shadow Night Cat gene.

And if you want to achieve complete integration, it will be an extremely long process.

It can be as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years.

It is an extremely rare case for a genius like the one from Kyoto University to have successfully integrated the genes of four different beasts before graduating from university.

It is far from enough to rely solely on high adaptability of gene fusion.

You also need to have some special physical condition.

For example, a physique that is resistant to alienation, a physique that allows multiple foreign genes to coexist, a physique that is easy to express genes, etc.

Looking across the country, there are many geniuses with high gene fusion adaptability, but at this stage, there is only one super genius who can possess multiple special physiques, and that is the genius of Kyoto University.

Lin Zichen continued to observe the pair of animal ears on the girl's head, trying to see if he could determine how many genes of the Shadow Night Owl the girl had integrated.

On the other side, the girl sensed that someone was observing her, and she immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the gaze, and then her eyes met with Lin Zichen behind her.

At the moment their eyes met, Lin Zichen felt as if he was being stared at by a shadowy black cat.

The girl's eyes were like two obsidians, with the characteristics of a shadow night cat, revealing a look staring at its prey, which was extremely oppressive.

The two people's gaze did not last long, just less than two seconds, and ended when the girl turned around.

A little aloof... In the brief eye contact just now, Lin Zichen labeled the girl this way.

He looked away from the girl and continued to observe the other freshmen around him.

Then, naturally, my attention was attracted by the yellow-haired boy sitting in the front.

The yellow-haired boy was really talkative. He kept chatting and chatting with people in front, behind, and around him with a smile on his face. He was also startled from time to time, and it was hard for people around him not to notice him.

As for those who were spoken to by him, they just smiled friendlyly on the surface, but they were actually very annoyed inside.

What a chatterbox... Lin Zichen silently labeled the yellow-haired boy this way.

…

Soon, it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Freshman Orientation begins.

The meeting was chaired by Vice President Yuan Dongzhi.

Lin Zichen felt a little strange about this.

Logically speaking, the principal should be in charge, so why is it the deputy principal?

Where did the real one go?

On the stage, Yuan Dongzhi's speech was very brief. He only talked nonsense for less than ten minutes before giving the microphone to other school leaders.

Other school leaders also spoke very little, and on average they finished their speeches in less than three minutes.

After the school leaders finished their speeches, it was the students' turn to speak on stage.

The students’ speeches were divided into two parts: first, a speech by the freshman representative, and then a speech by the student union president.

"Everyone, please give a round of applause to Li Moyu, a student from the gifted class, to come on stage and speak as a representative of the freshmen!"

A school leader on the stage, holding the microphone, looked towards a certain position in the gifted class and spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the freshmen in the audience applauded and looked towards the gifted class, curious about which one Li Moyu was.

The freshmen in the gifted class all looked at the yellow-haired boy in surprise.

"Li Moyu, you're actually the freshman representative?"

"I always thought Ma Xiwei was the strongest freshman and would be the freshman representative, but I didn't expect there was another expert hidden there."

"This Li Moyu, with his dyed yellow hair that looks like a gangster, is a chatterbox and doesn't have the aura of a genius at all. Yet, he's the strongest among the freshmen. You can't judge a book by its cover..."

At this moment, the freshmen in the gifted class all felt incredible.

The freshman representatives are voted by the school leaders, and the basis of voting is whoever they think is stronger.

The fact that the yellow-haired boy can become the representative of the freshmen means that most of the school leaders think he is the strongest among the freshmen.

Everyone in the gifted class found this a little unbelievable.

Soon, under the attention of all the teachers and students, the yellow-haired boy changed his smiling and talkative appearance and instantly transformed into a cool and aloof male god.

He slowly stood up from his seat, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and walked towards the stage slowly, shaking his bangs with each step.

From the moment the college entrance examination results came out, he had been waiting for today's opportunity to show off.

After waiting for more than two months, it finally happened.

Before that, whether it was dyeing his hair yellow or looking for people to talk to like an idiot, it was all to create a sense of contrast of "looking like a poor student but actually being a top student", so that he could pretend to be more powerful and feel better.

To sum it up in one sentence: You didn’t expect that I, a sloppy hair dyer and chatterbox, am actually the most awesome super genius among the freshmen. Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you amazed?

"This Li Moyu is such a secretive person. I saw him dye his hair yellow and looked like a gangster. I thought he was the worst in the class."

Shen Qinghan said in surprise.

Lin Zichen on the side was also surprised. He never thought that a lazy little yellow-haired boy would be the first in the genius class.

After all, in general perception, geniuses are generally aloof.

…

On stage.

Li Moyu took the microphone handed to him by the school leader, but did not rush to speak. Instead, he looked around at the expressions on the faces of the people in the audience.

When he saw many people in the audience showing surprised expressions, he felt extremely satisfied and felt particularly good.

After calming himself down a bit, he looked at everyone in the audience and asked with the microphone, "Has everyone heard of Li Yijin?"

"Who doesn't know the genius from Kyoto University?" A freshman in the audience responded loudly.

Li Moyu raised his eyebrows, his expression becoming even more aloof as he said, "Yes, everyone knows Li Yijin, but no one knows that Li Yijin has an equally talented younger brother."

"His younger brother is the top scorer in this year's Kyoto college entrance examination."

"The gene fusion compatibility is as high as 16%, tied with the top scorer in Nanjiang Province for first place in the country."

"The physical test data is unique in the country, the only one that ranks first in the country."

"And this genius brother of his is none other than me, the one standing before you right now—Li Moyu!"

When he said this last sentence, Li Moyu's voice suddenly became louder and sounded full of momentum.

The freshmen in the audience were all shocked.

This little yellow-haired boy is actually the younger brother of the genius from Kyoto University?

Moreover, he is the top scholar in Kyoto?

That’s not right. Why didn’t Kyoto’s top student study at Kyoto University, but came to Shanhai University instead?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Li Moyu said, "Everyone here must be wondering why I, a top scorer in the Kyoto college entrance examination, didn't go to Peking University, but came to Shandong University instead."

"Everyone must have thought that Shandong University's admissions team spent a fortune to recruit me."

"However, this is wrong."

"You may not believe this, but I took the initiative to apply to Shandong University."

"When I was still in junior high, I made an agreement with my brother that he would be responsible for breaking the records of Beijing University, and I would be responsible for breaking the records of Shandong University. In the future, all the records of the two major schools will be contracted by our brothers from the Li family of Beijing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes condensed and he released a biological pressure as high as "Ordinary Fifth Level", showing his invincible strength among his peers without reservation.

The freshmen in the gifted class who were closer to the stage all felt his powerful biological pressure, and were all shocked to the point of questioning their lives.

They are all the chosen ones who were admitted to Shanhai University. Many of them have an ordinary biological level of level three, and some are even as low as ordinary level two, all thanks to the adaptability of gene fusion.

However, Li Moyu's biological level on the stage is as high as ordinary level five!

The gap is too big!

So big that it makes people despair!

On the other side, the school leaders on the stage couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.

They arranged for Li Moyu to speak on stage as a representative of the freshmen so that he could set an example and look forward to his four years of college life. But now he is just showing off, which is really ridiculous!

"My name is Li Moyu, please remember my name!"

After releasing the biological pressure and showing off, Li Moyu said this and casually handed the microphone to the school leader beside him. Then he quickly walked off the stage with one hand in his pocket and his bangs flicked with every step.

He went up there just to show off, and now that he's done showing off, it's time for him to step down.

Showing off requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. The shorter the time you stay on the stage, the higher your level of prestige.

"Xiaochen, that Li Moyu is so stupid. He thinks he's invincible at just an ordinary fifth level. Little does he know that you can easily crush him with just one finger."

Shen Qinghan leaned close to Lin Zichen's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

As his childhood sweetheart, fiancée, and die-hard fan, she can't wait to see Lin Zichen show off his prowess in public.

Lin Zichen poked her cheek and said in a low voice, "If you say someone is stupid behind their back, you will be in big trouble if others find out."

"Isn't it you who protects me?"

"I can't protect it. I can't protect it."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. I'll only complain to you at home. Outside, I'll just be a mute."

Shen Qinghan assured in a soft voice.

Listening to the soft voice coming from his ears, Lin Zichen couldn't help but think of Shen Qinghan's soft little tongue, and his heart suddenly felt itchy.

As the two of them were talking, the school leader on the stage said in a loud voice, "Next, please give a round of applause to the Student Union President Zhou Xuehong, who will speak on behalf of the students!"

After saying this, the school leader applauded.

Seeing this, the freshmen in the audience all started to applaud.

As the applause rang out, a young man with a slightly parted hairstyle slowly walked onto the stage from the audience.

This man didn't look particularly tall, and he didn't have many muscles, but he exuded an extremely oppressive aura, making people afraid to look him in the eye.

"President Zhou, your microphone."

When Zhou Xuehong walked to the center of the stage, the school leader immediately stepped forward and handed the microphone to him very considerately.

In Shanhai University, where strength is respected, the status of the student union president is higher than that of many school leaders.

Zhou Xuehong took the microphone and introduced himself in a calm but powerful voice: "Dear freshmen, good afternoon. I am Zhou Xuehong, the president of the Shanhai University Student Union."

"I came here today to talk to you about three things."

"First, student discipline in school is not managed by teachers, but by the student union. The student union has a lot of power that you can't imagine."

"Secondly, the Student Union will recruit 10 new students at the beginning of the second semester each year. Admission is based solely on merit. New students who wish to join the Student Union should remember to demonstrate their abilities over the next six months."

"Third, the inner campus of Shanhai University is a place where strength is respected. It's a primitive environment where natural selection and survival of the fittest prevail. The law of the jungle where seniors suppress juniors is common. Everyone should be mentally prepared for this."

"That's all I want to say."

"Before I step down, I'll let everyone feel the power of advanced creatures."

The moment these words fell, Zhou Xuehong's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he instantly released all the terrifying pressure of his advanced creature, ruthlessly suppressing the freshmen in the audience.

In an instant, all the freshmen in the gymnasium felt an invisible pressure on their heads.

The freshmen who were close to the stage were so overwhelmed that their faces turned red and they had difficulty breathing.

Among them, the little yellow-haired Li Moyu, who was located not far away, strangely received the greatest pressure in the entire museum.

It was so big that the four legs of the chair he was sitting on were bent and almost broken.

He was a little confused and didn't know what was going on. He only knew that he seemed to be targeted. He was so depressed that his face turned pale and he felt like he was about to suffocate.

In contrast to him, Lin Zichen, who was sitting two rows behind him, looked relaxed and did not feel any discomfort at all.

The pressure from the advanced creatures was very strong, but at a distance of more than 30 meters, the power had been weakened to the point where it was not enough to pose an effective threat to him, an ordinary ninth-level being.

However, Shen Qinghan, whose biological level was only ordinary second level, was feeling a little uncomfortable at this moment. He was suppressed so much that his legs became weak and he could only lean weakly on his shoulders.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuehong on the stage did not release the biological pressure for too long. It only lasted less than five seconds before it was all retracted.

Then, he walked off the stage slowly, accompanied by relieved gasps from the audience.

Shortly after Zhou Xuehong left, the microphone returned to Yuan Dongzhi's hands.

Yuan Dongzhi took the microphone and said calmly to the freshmen in the audience:

"After the freshman meeting is over, you will face a start-of-school trial right here."

"The rules of the trial are simple. There's a large martial arts stage in the center of the gymnasium. Whoever can first stand alone on the stage for more than a minute will be crowned this year's Rookie of the Year and awarded 100 credits."

"The second person to stand alone on the martial arts stage for more than one minute will be the second place winner and will be awarded 90 credits."

"The same applies to the rest of the rankings until the tenth place is decided, who will be awarded 10 credits."

"The opening trial only lasts an hour."

"During this period, as long as there is a freshman from a regular class who is not in the gifted class and can make it into the top 10, all freshmen except those in the gifted class will receive one credit."

"The start of school trial will begin in 10 minutes. Anyone who needs to use the restroom may go now."

After saying this briefly, Yuan Dongzhi put down the microphone and walked off the stage.

Seeing this, the other school leaders on the stage consciously followed her and left.

These school leaders are now going to the corridor on the second floor so that they can overlook the opening trials that are about to begin on the first floor and observe the performance of each new student.

PS: I am putting out a bowl, asking for monthly votes and recommendation tickets!
