As the bell rang, teachers led their students out of their classrooms and gathered under the arena in the school square.
The Year One’s would have one day to complete their midterm exams. Tomorrow will be the students from Year Two’s turn.
There were 11 classes in Year One, and each class had an average of 50 students. There should be 550 people participating in the competition.
When everyone arrived at the arena, Chu Lingjun glanced around and realized that there were only 400 people.
Apparently, there were a few people who chose to withdraw from the midterm exam.
For example, the three students in the class that Chu Lingjun had secretly sponsored — Meng Shu, Bai Qin, and Tian Yu — were not there.
The three of them did not participate in the competition. Instead, they focused on learning liberal arts knowledge in class.
Not everyone was suited for martial arts.
Once the path of martial arts became difficult, they would gradually withdraw and focus on learning scientific knowledge.
As a student progresses, they would gradually recognize and accept reality and shift their attention to other things.
Chu Lingjun had seen the statistics the last time. When it came to the third year of high school, only half of the students would take part in the monthly examination.
This probability was actually quite good. After all, in the past 100 years, the country has created many cultivation techniques and accumulated rich experience.
The current martial arts cultivation system was considered to be mature. As long as the students practiced according to the book, there would not be any mistakes.
Chu Lingjun had heard from his father that when he was young, he often heard that some elders would go berserk while practicing their cultivation techniques. They would either self-immolate, self-destruct, or become machines that only knew how to kill.
Similarly, in that era, there was a few martial arts cultivation that pioneered the patent of geniuses.
When Chu Lingjun’s father was young, he was told to not practice martial arts because he wasn’t very strong.
Later on, when he joined the army, the country gathered a large number of grandmasters to conduct research and create the Fifth National Military Boxing Style for ordinary people. Only then did Chu Xingguo finally barely enter the ranks of martial artists.
At that time, Chu Xingguo had gone past his peak age to cultivate. It was a great challenge for him to achieve the Late Stage Rank One martial artist title.
This was the limitation of the era.
Chu Lingjun, Chen Zhiqi, Ding Peng, and the others naturally did not have these worries. They were standing shoulder to shoulder, ready to burst with power.
Soon, more than 400 students lined up and gathered in front of the arena.
Martial artists were particular about being swift and decisive. After the white-haired principal introduced himself, he announced the start of the midterm exam.
This time, the midterm exam seemed to have adopted a new competition format.
“For this midterm exam, we will be using the guard ring method.
“For example, if you think you can get first place, then stand on the first ring. If the students are unconvinced, they will step forward and challenge you.
“The winner stays, the loser goes.
“When no new challenger steps up, then the first place will be yours!
“The same goes for the other rings.
“However, take note that in order to avoid unnecessary sparring, everyone only has two chances to challenge those in the ring. If you fail both challenges, you will no longer be able to enter the rankings.
“Alright, I shall now announce that the midterm exam has officially begun!”
The new competition system made everyone a little confused, but many people still reacted.
For example, Chu Lingjun stepped out of the square immediately and went straight to the first ring!
Once Chu Lingjun stepped onto the first ring, almost all the students turned their gazes over.
Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi’s expressions changed, and their hearts immediately started pumping!
Chu Lingjun wanted to be the first in the year!
The other students around them also started to cheer when they saw Chu Lingjun climb up to ring one in the blink of an eye.
“Of course, it’ll be him!”
“The guy from Class Four can release electricity, it makes sense that he’d go to ring one!”
“He got first place in the last monthly exam. I heard from others that Chu Lingjun used trickery to defeat the weeping monster.”
“I also heard that he got first place last time because of luck! Is he serious about the midterm exam this time? Does he really think that he has the ability to be number one?”
“Heh, this is going to be a good show. Luo Chaoxiang, Zhou Anqi, and the others will definitely take this as a challenge!”
“If it were me, I’d back away…”
Discussion filled the air. Even the school teachers guarding the surroundings could not help but look over.
Chu Lingjun stood on ring one with a calm expression. He didn’t have any pride or stage fright.
The first place would win 30 spirit stones and a rank one spirit weapon, which was close to 400,000 dollars in value!
He was so short of money now, so he naturally could not let it go!
Chu Lingjun looked around. Ring one to ten was made of green bricks.
However, ring 11 to 50 did not have such treatment. The teachers drew a circle on the ground with chalk and treated it as an arena.
The school square was not big enough to accommodate 50 arenas, so this was the best they could do.
Of course, another reason was that most students would only pay attention to the top ten matches. There were not many people watching the later matches, so they did not want to waste money.
Chu Lingjun looked at his own arena. At this moment, a large number of students had already gathered around.
There were even many people who wanted to challenge him, but they held back.
Each person only had two chances to challenge. If they did not have a certain degree of confidence, it would be a waste of the opportunity to challenge.
Only the top 50 would be rewarded, so the best way was to have a chance to choose a ring that was slightly stronger than them. This was the most rational way to go.
It wasn’t long before his first opponent arrived.
A little girl who was about 1.5 meters tall stood in front of Chu Lingjun as a
cnanenge.
This person was the superpower genius of Class Three, Zhou Anqi!
“I finally have the chance to fight you!”
The raging flames engulfed her entire body.
The two small braids tied behind her head also rushed into the air when her spiritual energy erupted.
Zhou Anqi looked at Chu Lingjun with excitement, her eyes burning with passion!
Chu Lingjun was really detestable!
In the past two months since school started, she would pick fights with Chu Lingjun almost every time they cultivated in the visualization garden. However, the other party would always ignore her. Now, her dream was finally coming true!
