Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1729: Strategy
"Hmph! That guy actually deceived me!"
After a moment of shock, Jin Muxi pouted unhappily.
"You know him? What did he deceive you about?"
The Commandery Prince of Changyang Prefecture asked curiously. He already felt something was off when his daughter spoke just now, but he didn't think much of it.
"He..."
Upon hearing this, Jin Muxi thought for a moment. She really didn't know what Su Chen had deceived her about because he had never said anything!
But for some reason, she just felt very displeased!
...
Time gradually passed, and more and more people took the stage!
It was at this time that a figure flashed onto the stage at lightning speed, one of the three most discussed figures, Wang Sheng!
He stood there, unmoving like a mountain, with a tall and imposing presence!
The crowd became exceptionally excited. To be honest, what everyone was most eager to see was still the performance of the three great talents!
Wang Sheng, Cave Void Realm Eighth Turn, although slightly behind Cheng Hai, was still enough to be worthy of the title of genius!
Then, he moved, his fist like the wind, directly hitting the giant drum!
"Dong dong dong~~~"
The drum sounded eight consecutive times, the echo lingering in the air, leaving people in awe!
The four academy leaders on stage all nodded repeatedly, very appreciative!
Following Wang Sheng, Jin Muxi also stepped on stage. The two of them were acquainted, and Wang Sheng nodded to her before stepping down.
Jin Muxi also walked to the stage, then with a swift movement, like a storm, she charged towards the giant drum, and a fist imprint instantly hit the drumhead!
"Dong dong dong!"
The drum sounded instantly four times, and the momentum still continued!
"Dong dong dong!"
The drumming did not cease, soon reaching six sounds, like ten thousand horses galloping, shaking the crowd!
"Dong!"
The seventh sound!
Initially, everyone thought it should stop there, after all, Jin Muxi was just at Cave Void Realm Seventh Turn!
However, the echo lingered!
"Dong!"
Moments later, the eighth drum sound rang out, though low and far less loud than the previous ones, shaking the earth nevertheless!
That meant her strength reached the level of Cave Void Realm Eighth Turn!
While strength and true cultivation strength are not equivalent, it still signifies a kind of talent, hinting at greater possibilities!
A monster indeed!
At this moment, the eyes looking at Jin Muxi were filled with a fervent light!
This made Jin Muxi a bit embarrassed, and she quickly stepped down from the stage...
After Jin Muxi stepped down, Cheng Hai did not immediately take the stage. Instead, after ten more people, he calmly walked up!
As soon as he took the stage, the entire venue quieted down!
Whether it's Wang Sheng or Jin Muxi, they were not as closely watched as Cheng Hai!
At that moment, under everyone's gaze, Cheng Hai walked to the drum calmly!
Then, he casually slapped a palm imprint on the drumhead!
"Dong dong dong~~"
Instantly, continuous drum sounds rang out, just as expected, nine sounds!
After the ninth sound, the vibration of the drum slowly stopped...
Although it was expected, the four academy leaders felt that Cheng Hai actually hadn't used his full strength!
The Commandery Prince of Changyang Prefecture, along with some others, felt similarly!
Actually, not just them, Su Chen also felt it!
This Cheng Hai, sure enough, has some skills!
As Cheng Hai stepped down, he glanced faintly at Su Chen, the expression seemed to say:
Did you see that?
This is the difference!
Originally, this ant did not deserve to enter his field of vision, but this ant dared to stand up to him, even mocking him as a stray dog!
Even though this kid turned out to be a Body Refiner and could make the drum sound twice!
But so what?
Ultimately, they're not on the same level!
Su Chen didn't bother to acknowledge this expression and continued chatting with Jiang Shiqi and the others...
"I guess this guy now hates you."
He Qishan said.
"It's fine."
Su Chen shrugged.
"Still, be a bit careful, don't provoke him!"
Jiang Shiqi said with some worry.
"Yeah, he doesn't seem like a good person!"
Nie Qianqian, more naive, said while pouting.
Su Chen just smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with their words...
After a while, the first round of strength tests finally ended!
At this time, He Guangzhong shouted:
"The first round of testing is complete, with a total of 74 people passing, now proceeding to the second round of Martial Arts competition!"
"74 people will draw lots for matches, with two per group, making a total of thirty-seven groups!"
"Each loser has one chance to challenge again, and if victorious, they can replace their opponent!"
"The final thirty-seven winners can freely choose any of the four academies!"
"Of course, those who are defeated might still receive invitations from the academies based on your performance!"
"So go ahead and showcase all your abilities in the upcoming rounds!"
He Guangzhong's speech immediately stirred a wave of excitement, leaving everyone thrilled!
Duels are always what martial artists look forward to the most, and they are what can most elevate the atmosphere to its peak!
Furthermore, the assessments of the Four Major Academies ultimately focus on actual combat!
Everything is ultimately about real combat!
At this time, Jiang Shiqi and Su Chen naturally had no worries, knowing they had no problems!
However, He Qishan was anxious!
Because he couldn't say he had no hope, nor could he say he had no problems!
Judging by the drum sounds earlier, though 74 people passed, only around twenty people reached three or more sounds!
The remaining fifty-plus people only had one or two sounds!
While drum sounds don't fully represent cultivation strength, they roughly indicate the issue!
This means, aside from those who reached three sounds, there's little suspense, and the remaining fifty-plus people are competing for about twenty spots!
It's challenging but not hopeless!
After all, among these fifty-plus people, there are a dozen at Cave Void Realm Second Turn!
Due to this, He Qishan was understandably uneasy!
"If your first opponent is strong, just concede immediately to conserve strength, then choose a manageable opponent!"
After hearing the rules, Su Chen immediately advised He Qishan.
"Hmm!"
He Qishan nodded upon hearing this, indeed, Su Chen's method was the best approach!
"Have faith, and remember to observe and think critically. I believe you can do it!"
Su Chen continued.
He Qishan nodded once again, feeling a bit calmer after hearing Su Chen's words!
Originally, he had no hope this time, but because of the elixir Su Chen gave him, he finally reached this step!
He must succeed!
