"Hello." Shen Qian had already guessed some of what was going on, but still asked, "What brings you here?"
"I'm here today as a messenger to deliver an invitation to Shen Qian," Sun Ping said, then took out a beautifully wrapped letter from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Qian.
The letter bears the unique logo of the Senseisha, a star shaped like a diamond that is shimmering with a faint light.
really.
Although he found it strange that the message wasn't delivered by a spirit pigeon, Shen Qian wasn't opposed to joining the Thousand Star Society, as its principle of "resource sharing" was quite useful to him.
"Thank you. Are there any procedures I need to complete to join the company?" Shen Qian asked casually as he took the letter.
Sun Ping was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Student Shen Qian, you've misunderstood. This isn't an invitation to join the club."
"What?" Shen Qian looked up in surprise, and Gu Zifang and the others also looked over in astonishment.
"It's my fault for not explaining clearly earlier." Sun Ping maintained his smile. "This invitation is mainly to invite Shen Qian to visit the Qianxing Society branch in Mingcheng soon to participate in our assessment."
"An assessment?" Shen Qian narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"What kind of assessment?" Gu Zifang sensed something was wrong and her face immediately turned cold. "You mean, if Shen Qian wants to join the Thousand Star Society, he needs to pass your assessment?"
"Dear Ms. Gu, a member of the Qianxing Society, it is my pleasure to answer your question."
Facing Gu Zifang, Sun Ping's smile instantly became much more sincere, and he bowed slightly to begin his explanation.
"Since Shen Qian's grades in the first two subjects... may not have been very outstanding, we originally did not plan to invite him to join the club for the time being. Today's invitation is a special opportunity provided to Shen Qian because he is very likely to get high scores in the practical exam."
"What a load of bull! Since we know he's really good in real combat, why can't we just invite him to join the club?" Gu Zifang said angrily.
Hearing the faint whispers around them, Ouyang Fei and the others didn't look too happy. Who would want such an opportunity?
"I'm sorry, this is the rule of the Thousand Star Society." Sun Ping adopted a humble posture, but his tone was very calm.
Shen Qian smiled.
If everyone needs to be assessed, that's one thing, but if only he needs to be assessed, even if it's not specifically targeted, it's still an insult to him.
"Thank you for making this trip. You can take this invitation back." Shen Qian coldly tossed the invitation back.
Are you sure you want to turn down this opportunity?
Sun Ping looked up in surprise, seemingly offering a kind reminder, "What Qianxing Society means, I'm sure Shen Qian knows very well. I know Shen Qian may feel it's a bit unfair, but it's just a set procedure."
"Believe me, once you join the Thousand Stars Club, Shizuma-kun will definitely feel that it was all worth it..."
"And if you give up this opportunity because of a moment of anger, that will be your biggest loss!"
“No, you’re wrong,” Shen Qian sneered. “This isn’t my loss, it’s the Qianxing Society’s.”
Sun Ping smiled, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something more, a thunderclap suddenly boomed in mid-air.
Everyone who was gathered at the entrance of the provincial stadium to watch the commotion looked up in astonishment.
Why is it thundering again?
Rumble!
This time, unlike the illusion of the last one, it was real thunder.
Moreover, the thunder came so suddenly, without any warning.
Just seconds after the thunder, dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, slowly forming a vortex a hundred meters long, within which something was vaguely about to break free.
Everyone stared in shock at the strange phenomenon in the sky, wondering how such a scene could occur in Ming City, which had a weather regulation system, and it seemed that no powerful guardians had intervened.
Amidst the stunned gazes of countless people, a seven-colored dragon suddenly emerged from the vortex.
It was a thousand meters long, with golden light in its mouth and its whole body shimmering with color. After circling in the air for a while, it suddenly swooped down towards the provincial stadium.
A horrified cry rang out, and just as Shen Qian was about to retreat with the others, a loud, heaven-like voice resounded.
"Hall of a Hundred Kings, please descend and join the guild!"
