"She's really clever. She must have thought of using venomous snakes. She's definitely a promising talent I have high hopes for. Her ideas are very unique."
Researcher Lin looked at Ruan Chen and frowned. "South Institute, it seems... she wants the Tricolor Spearhead Viper to bite her?"
Shen Yu added, "The talent that Nan Suo has his eye on is truly unique."
Ruan Chen played with the cold snake's body, marveling at the realism of the simulator. Although she didn't understand how the system worked, since even a person's hunger and drowsiness could be realistically projected onto their mental body, being bitten by a venomous snake would most likely result in being kicked out of the trial grounds.
She wasn't interested in the new star class at the First Affiliated Hospital.
But Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan... don't even think about leaving here unscathed.
The listening device she used at the Ruan family's house is still there; she overheard those three scumbags discussing how to ruin her assessment.
Ruan Zhengde also instructed them not to touch their faces.
Such meticulous "fatherly love".
A system notification sounded in Ruan Chen's mind: [Qiu Yin is eliminated. The killer is Ruan Qin. Ruan Qin gains one point.]
A moment later, there was another sound.
[Li Zimu is eliminated; Ruan Yunhan was the one who eliminated him and scored one point.]
She plucked a leaf and covered her face with it, then comfortably tilted her head and went to sleep.
Seeing that Ruan Chen looked ready to endure the twelve-hour test, Nan Jing couldn't sit still any longer. He made a call to his secretary, "Did you explain the assessment rules to them? Look at what Ruan Chen is doing right now! Does she think that just because she's been waiting twelve hours, she's passed the assessment?"
Shen Yu responded with a cold laugh, "Secretary Liu is always meticulous in her work, and Ruan Chen is also a smart girl. Is it possible that someone is just being presumptuous and thinks that the First Affiliated Hospital is really a hot commodity? She is also on the assessment list of the Medical School and Jinghua University of Technology. She is probably just here to go through the motions."
Nan Jing finally lost her temper and said, "Old Shen, why are you constantly harassing me today?"
Shen Yu ignored him and said to the operator, "Switch the camera to Chen Mohan and see what our little brat is doing. I bet a lot of money that he'll be number one... damn it!"
From the side came the teasing voices of others, "General Shen, your son is sleeping quite soundly."
Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan must have planned it together; their scores remained tied throughout.
Both players performed exceptionally well, and some professors watching from the hospital were even tempted to join in.
"They're capable, so it's understandable that they have some temper. Old Chen, isn't it a shame you're not going to take these two promising talents?"
"I heard that the South Institute has high hopes for Ruan Chen? His performance has been so-so... oh no, it's that he hasn't performed at all."
When the system notified Ruan Yunhan that she had eliminated the fourth person, Ruan Chen suddenly opened his eyes and stood up in the Wangtian tree.
His eyes were like a cold, clear pool.
Six hours had passed, and only Ruan Qin, Ruan Yunhan, and Shen Mohan remained in the trial grounds.
She landed nimbly, casually broke off a twig to knock down the weeds, loosely rolled up her sleeves to three fingers above her wrist, and walked nonchalantly into the depths of the valley.
His walking posture was as lazy as a cat's, not at all like someone being assessed.
Two chilling glints flashed through the air. Ruan Chen casually dodged them, creating some distance, and stretched. The moon-white pendant on her chest gleamed with a cold light.
Ruan Qin's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent, his hands nervously clenching and unclenching at his sides. "Having not seen you for half a year, you've made great progress, but it's still not enough."
Ruan Chen was too lazy to waste words. He lowered his eyes and focused his mind, trying to lock onto Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan at the same time with his mental power.
A stray strand of hair swayed gently beside her face; she casually tucked it behind her ear, her delicate profile glowing white in the sunlight, captivating all who beheld it.
The system keeps everyone's mental strength at a relatively high level. Only by controlling mental strength with meticulous precision can one have a greater chance of winning.
Ruan Qin's figure flashed, and he charged towards Ruan Chen again!
Ruan Yunhan stood under the tree watching the commotion. She and Ruan Qin had enough control over their mental power to predict Ruan Chen's every move.
Of course, this situation is limited to specific environments like the Trial Grounds, where spiritual power can be materialized.
Every time Ruan Chen landed, before he could even catch his breath, Ruan Qin's next attack would follow.
But the two soon realized something was wrong.
Ruan Chen is too relaxed.
On the contrary, Ruan Qin's mental state, which had been depleted, even fluctuated.
Ruan Chen stopped three meters away. "Tired? Should we switch people or all of us go together?"
His tone was both calm and arrogant.
After pausing for two seconds, she asked again, "I heard you're planning to cripple me in the Trial Grounds. To be honest, I'm a little curious. This is the system of the Four Great Academies, which should protect the safety of students. So what methods do you plan to use?"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the large screen in front of the hospital erupted in chaos.
Nan Jing was watching Ruan Chen practice on Ruan Qin with a gleeful expression when he heard this, he jumped up and his face darkened.
He pressed his hand down, signaling for silence from the audience.
On the big screen, Ruan Qin steadied his breathing, and Ruan Yunhan seemed to be of one mind with him. The two of them, from two different angles, rushed towards Ruan Chen at the same time!
Ruan Chen stood quietly in place, raised her hand, and snapped her fingers.
A powerful mental network suddenly unfolded, and Ruan Qin and Ruan Yunhan simultaneously lost their balance and fell to the ground!
She has basically mastered how to use mental power.
Since it's impossible to lock onto both people at the same time, let's just interfere with them indiscriminately.
"Let's chat? I'm really curious. I know you participated in summer study abroad programs at American universities and were exposed to related knowledge."
Nan Jing's expression turned even uglier.
The academy does not admit students with US backgrounds, but this is not mentioned in the files of Nguyen Chin and Nguyen Yun Han.
Someone deliberately erased it.
If it's the Ruan family... what does the Ruan family want to do?
Ruan Qin gritted his teeth, his mind filled with Ruan Chen's nonchalant voice.
But the voice also sounded like an irresistible command.
"How...how did you do that...?"
Ruan Chen ignored him and looked at Ruan Yunhan, "What do you say?"
Ruan Yunhan held on for a few seconds, then, as if possessed, couldn't help but blurt out, "It's just hearsay! We heard that a former pilot from Jinghua University of Science and Technology, who was at the eighth level of mental strength, ruined more than ten years of hard work at the Martial Arts Research Institute because of a loss of control over his mental strength, and he also became an idiot!"
"Yunhan, shut up!"
Ruan Chen kicked Ruan Qin in the contorted face, twirling the branch in his palm, and then asked, "You want me to lose control?"
"We want to provoke you in this environment. If you lose control, even if the system can forcibly pull you out, you'll be ruined!"
"What does Ruan Zhengde want to do?"
Ruan Yunhan knew she couldn't continue speaking, but Ruan Chen's mental strength forcefully suppressed her.
"Someone in the circle has their eye on your face! As long as your face is useful, it will always bring benefits to the Ruan family! Besides... wouldn't an idiot be easier to control! He never wanted you to go to school in the first place!"
At this moment, none of the teachers, students, and staff who came to the hospital for the annual routine assessment expected to stumble upon such a shocking revelation.
That Ruan family, who possess worldly wealth of billions... they are truly disgusting.
That impeccably dressed entrepreneur, philanthropist, and successful father who raised two outstanding children—beneath that human skin lies a heart worse than that of a beast.
