"Four people will be selected from the assessment. I hope you can all go. If you succeed, I think our teacher-student relationship will end here." Ji Tiehan's voice made all four of them raise their heads. Looking at the teacher who had taught her for three months, Ji Yueyao still felt reluctant to part.
Wei Kang and Ji Yueyao exchanged a glance. Ji Yueyao saw full confidence in Wei Kang's eyes, while Wei Kang saw complex emotions in Ji Yueyao's eyes.
However... Ji Yueyao withdrew her gaze; she could finally exchange for some food other than cookies. She breathed a long sigh of relief; after eating cookies every day for the past three months, she was almost at the point of wanting to vomit at the sight of them.
Of course, she didn't think she would lose, after all, her three months of hard work hadn't been in vain!
The day of the assessment arrived quickly. The sun was incredibly strong that day; just standing under it for ten minutes or so would make you feel like you were already sunburnt.
Lin Xuan smiled at the confident Ji Yueyao and said, "Ji Yueyao, you have to keep it up! If I have time, I'll go back and cheer you on."
Outsiders are allowed to watch the training area assessments, so Kachi and the others said they would come to watch.
Over the past three months, Ji Yueyao and Lin Xuan have become quite familiar with each other. At this moment, Ji Yueyao patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder, expressing her confidence, "Alright, if I don't see you here, you'll be in trouble."
"I can't beat you, so of course I'm coming." Lin Xuan chuckled pitifully.
"Alright, I'm off." Ji Yueyao realized that time was running out, waved to Lin Xuan, and hurriedly ran towards the training area. If she was late, Wei Kang would be in for a lot of trouble.
"Woman, did you grow up eating snails?" Sure enough, as soon as Ji Yueyao arrived at the training area, she saw Wei Kang looking at her speechlessly.
Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth. Although she should be used to being verbally attacked for so long, she was still furious. "I wasn't late, okay?!"
"Not late?" Wei Kang raised an eyebrow. "I think you're the only one in the entire training area who didn't come."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yueyao looked over and found that the entire training area was indeed full of people, and it really did seem like she was the only one who hadn't arrived yet. "Why is everyone here so early?"
"Just draw a number to see who your opponent is and prepare in advance." Wei Kang shrugged, took out a slip of paper from his pocket, pointed to a few people next to him, and said, "I've already drawn one for you. Your opponent is one of those people."
"Liu Hua?" Ji Yueyao frowned as she looked at the name on the slip of paper in her hand. "I've never heard of him. By the way, how many people are participating in this assessment?"
“Seven people,” Wei Kang said softly.
"Seven??? Out of more than fifty people in the training area, only seven people are participating in the assessment?" Ji Yueyao was speechless. Participation in the assessment was entirely voluntary. If someone didn't want to participate, they could choose to continue training. But weren't seven people a bit too few? It seemed that all those densely packed people were just watching.
"There used to be a lot, but last month's duel made many people back down," Wei Kang said, shrugging, indicating that it was indeed understandable. "Who told us to be too strong?"
"You've got no shame." Ji Yueyao rolled her eyes at him, then calmly glanced at the battle schedule beside her. "Since there are seven people, one of them should get a bye, right? If they get a bye, they can be considered to have passed the test. Who would be so lucky?"
“Yes, I get a bye.” Wei Kang calmly nodded from the side, successfully earning Ji Yueyao’s angry glare.
"This isn't fair, why you?"
"Because only you and I emerged victorious from the last chaotic battle." Wei Kang glanced at Ji Yueyao provocatively, as if to say, "So what if it's me?"
"Then why not me?" Ji Yueyao became even angrier.
"Because you're a woman. The higher-ups at the Xiyu base are still... tsk tsk." Wei Kang shrugged and patted Ji Yueyao on the shoulder. "Well... but I think it's because I'm more capable than you."
"..." Ji Yueyao was speechless at his audacity.
"Those participating in the assessment, please gather here." Ji Tiehan and another professor stood in the center of the venue, pointed to the side, and shouted loudly.
"Let's go." Wei Kang and Ji Yueyao walked forward side by side.
Ji Yueyao stood in the center of the field and was surprised to find that so many people could sit around the training ground. The man sitting at the highest point looked to be around thirty years old and had a very serious expression. Just sitting there, he gave people a heavy sense of oppression.
"Don't stare straight at him." Wei Kang tugged at Ji Yueyao. "That's Yu Zhenlong, the leader of the Xiyu base."
Is that Yu Zhenlong? He certainly has the air of a leader.
but......
"It's just an assessment in the training area, why are so many people coming to watch?" Ji Yueyao felt very uncomfortable as the people around her looked at her like she was a gorilla.
“This assessment is very important.” Wei Kang remained motionless, but his lips were slightly pursed. “The winner of this assessment will participate in the competition among the five factions in Country C. This competition only takes place once every five years, so it naturally attracts a lot of attention.”
"Heavens..." Ji Yueyao was speechless. What kind of luck was this? She had become the center of attention after just one assessment. It seemed she had to give it her all.
The assessment began quickly, and their first pair of opponents turned out to be Yao Lin and Xu Lingnan. It seemed that their group of four could only send a maximum of three people.
"What luck! I actually drew my own partner." Yao Lin looked helplessly at Xu Lingnan in front of him. Xu Lingnan sighed, didn't say anything more, and got into position to prepare for battle.
