"Next up, Group 1 of the China Zone."
Zhao Xuerou's heart skipped a beat, her body stiffened, and she was about to take a step forward, but before she could put her foot down, she suddenly remembered that she was not a member of the group, and that Zhu Yibai and Luo Xiaoli were the ones who should be assessed.
She stopped in her tracks.
Immediately, Zhu Yibai, who had been in a state of high excitement and had never calmed down, anxiously reached out, ripped off his blindfold, and removed one of his earplugs. The distant, ethereal sound of drums entered his ears, tugging at his heartbeat.
He looked up, his face instantly filled with shock. His eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth went dry, and a suppressed, incredulous sound escaped his throat. A moment of stunned disbelief…
Some philosophers often believe that part of the meaning of life can be interpreted as understanding the vastness of the world, witnessing the infinity of the universe, and experiencing one's own place within that immensity. In other words, invading a planet is certainly not a good thing for humanity, but in some ways, it also allows them to see life beyond their own planet. How do these life forms survive? Do they possess their own civilization?
A clash of ideas, a conflict of perceptions, a battle of civilizations.
Zhu Yibai's limited life experiences, which had built his worldview, were destroyed at this moment and then rebuilt. Like Adela, he also needed to build a high wall of defense to withstand the impact of the enormous creature.
Are you afraid? Actually, no.
Fortunately, his life has always been like the freshest blood, his cells leaping with joy, and he accepts new things much faster than the average person. Remember the action-packed manga you read in high school? The fantasy novels you kept page by page in your desk drawer in middle school? The anime you watched on TV as a child? Countless stories, each protagonist facing adversity with unwavering resilience, evolving even while covered in blood.
Zhu Yibai likes One Piece and Naruto, loves Chen Beixuan who never needs to explain his actions to others, and also loves Xingyouji who always firmly believes in the existence of the Rainbow Sea and wants to go to that miraculous land.
He often fantasized that he was McDonald searching for the Rainbow Sea, going through countless hardships and seeing countless sails. Even though everyone said that the Rainbow Sea was the biggest lie of the century and did not exist at all, he still worked hard for it without ever complaining.
Everyone is the protagonist of their own life, and this 19-year-old freshman in college feels that he is too.
If I become the Green Emperor in the future, I will grant permission for peach blossoms to bloom in one place.
Faced with a gigantic creature hundreds of meters in size, he certainly wouldn't yield.
After a shudder, his gaze upwards became even more resolute.
The assessment had officially begun. With the countdown fading, Zhu Yibai took a step forward. He didn't find the Ancient Spirit particularly frightening, but rather marveled at its power. What anime protagonist would be too afraid to proceed upon hearing of a boss blocking their path in the next town? That would only excite it more, because it knew for certain that defeating this enemy would make it even stronger. People around him often wondered, "You don't understand how strong the boss is! He's ruthless; you'll definitely die if you go!" He would just shrug, "Ah, it's okay, it doesn't matter, I'll handle it."
Earth is about to be invaded.
It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it...
Zhu Yibai kept moving forward. He built a high wall around his heart much faster than Adela. There were very few people in the China Special Economic Zone who had better grades than him, and the spirit of a young man could never be crushed. He successfully attracted the attention of countless researchers present. All eyes were on him, and step by step, nothing in the road ahead could stop him.
With three minutes to go, Zhu Yibai had already reached the weapon case, extending his hand. Was he about to break the fastest record? To establish unparalleled glory for China? The instant his fingertips touched the cold gun barrel, feeling its heavy texture...
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out, startling everyone. He turned his head in shock to look at the position to his right!
There stood a girl, firing her gun into the sky!
One minute and fifty-four seconds! The fastest record to date for Guling to resist after having his blindfold removed!
Twice as fast as Adèle, the most outstanding young woman in the North!
Zhu Yibai had barely even touched the gun when this person finished.
Her figure was captivating, her appearance stunning, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, her expression aloof, and her rosy lips curving into a smile.
"Luo Xiaoli, the first in the China Special Zone! Successfully passed the assessment!"
Jiang Cheng froze on the spot, momentarily dazed, looking at her calm figure in the center of the arena, his girlfriend... He had never been very insightful in judging others. Apart from the fragments of their time together, Jiang Cheng didn't know much about Luo Xiaoli's life or her grades at school. He only knew that Xiaoli did well on her college entrance exam and performed exceptionally well in the Federation China Group.
Luo Xiaoli never said that she deliberately held back; she only scored 680 points, and she could have done even better...
She never claimed that she randomly took an international test and received an SS-level IQ result.
She was perfectly happy playing the role of the girlfriend, never thinking about stepping onto a bigger stage. For her, the happiest thing in life was living with Jiang Cheng, getting married, and having children. She would be a housewife, cooking every day, playing games, decorating the house warmly, and buying cute dolls when she went out. Not wanting to do it didn't mean she couldn't.
Excellence is a concept for many people. But for geniuses, it's an instinct.
