After a good night's sleep, Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin arrived at the competition venue early the next morning.
The individual competition is open to all students from the outer academy, totaling tens of thousands of people, but only 100 will qualify for entry into the inner academy. This ratio left Dongfang Mian speechless.
The written test for the individual competition is divided into five stages: the Opportunity Stage, the Talent Stage, the Comprehension Stage, the Cultivation Stage, and the Final Stage.
As the name suggests, the "Chance of Opportunity" is a test of your luck. As the Dean once said, luck is also a kind of strength. Even if you have great strength, you might accidentally be killed by a stone if you are unlucky.
Dongfang Mian and his group are currently queuing in front of the Gate of Opportunity. The so-called Gate of Opportunity is a row of nine identical doors. All you have to do is choose one door and go through it. Behind each door is a teleportation array. Teleporting to the next level means advancing, while teleporting to the spectator seats means being eliminated. Only in this level is the number of people eliminated random.
Everyone hesitated as they studied the doors, trying to find the subtle differences between them. Some people didn't care and just randomly chose a door and went in. The results were hidden by the formation before everyone had made their choices, so choosing later didn't offer much advantage other than making them more nervous. So everyone consciously lined up and took turns choosing.
Dongfang Mian nudged Yan Lin and said, "How about we go through Gate Five?"
Yan Lin glanced at him and said, "I want to go through Gate Seven."
"Why?" Dongfang Mian asked, puzzled.
“Because I like the number seven,” Yan Lin then said.
"Tch," Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes at him irritably. "I like Wu too."
“Then let’s split up, you go seven steps and I’ll go five,” Dongfang Mian said.
"No, you have to come with me."
"Why should I!"
"Haven't you heard of the saying 'the wife follows the husband's lead'?"
Dongfang Mian blushed slightly at his words, and her initial imposing manner instantly softened.
The single students behind them, feeling nervous, couldn't stand it and started shouting loudly.
"Can't you two move forward? Can't you see there's no one ahead of you?"
"Exactly, you can talk about these things back in bed when you get home."
"Ah, if you don't leave now, I'm about to explode! I'm not kidding, I'm a Grand Spirit Master!"
Dongfang Mian stomped her feet in embarrassment and rushed into Gate 5, disappearing from sight. Yan Lin followed slowly toward Gate 5, and the person behind shouted, "Hey, brother, didn't you want to choose Gate 7?"
Yan Lin glanced at him and said slowly, "That's why you've always been single," before disappearing through Gate 5.
"Damn it!" This instantly sparked shouts of cursing from the male students behind him, mixed with envious gasps from the female students.
Over there, Dongfang Mian was successfully teleported to the waiting area for the next level. After a while, Yan Lin also appeared. Dongfang Mian asked, "Which door did you come in through?"
"Number Seven"
"cut"
The two stopped talking, and after a while no one else came in. Then they felt the surrounding environment change, the hidden formation was removed, and they could see the spectator stands and the people who had been eliminated.
On the dean's seat, Dongfang Mian saw Dong Ren waving enthusiastically at her to cheer her on. Students from other colleges nearby said enviously, "Your dean really values you. It's so enviable. Our dean doesn't even know my name."
"Hehehe," Dongfang Mian chuckled dryly. He doesn't care about me, what can I do? There's no one else around.
