Chapter 30: Being Questioned

  The award ceremony is set for assistant instructors, team leaders and the top three teams. All new students who have passed will participate. As for the ranking, it's arranged according to the overall score of each team.

  On April 11th, the sun was shining brightly, with white clouds drifting across the blue sky. The grass on the martial arts training ground was lush and green, dotted with a few wildflowers.

  A group of excited kids who had just finished their exams were jumping up and down, or sitting or lying on the grass, about 20,000 to 30,000 people, waiting for the ceremony to start. I stood behind the 007 team with Tian Jiaomei, and Ye Mengting Little Loli was also following us. Since she joined, the two little lolis have been getting along very well, don't know why? Is it that Tian Jiaomei has a kind of inexplicable affinity for anyone? Shaking my head, I stopped thinking about it.

  At nine o'clock sharp, the ceremony began. The new students stood at attention, and Principal Tianba, three deputy deans, and other college leaders were all on the central platform. What was strange was that in addition to the dean, there were six unfamiliar old men and six elderly women, and Ye Mengting also looked curious. Xiaomei secretly told us that they were instructors who tested physical fitness and talent. Seeing them, I thought something else might happen today.

  "Classmates, quiet down! The award ceremony is now beginning!" Tian Zhenrong's voice boomed like a bell. After the sparse applause, he spoke while pressing his hand downwards, and with that one press, it was as if he had infinite power, and the audience below fell silent. He smiled and said: "Thank you, classmates, for your sparse applause. Next, please welcome our principal to present the awards to the winners, applause!"

  This time there was thunderous applause from under the stage, and also laughter.

  "Quiet, the first item of the awards ceremony is about to begin, the Excellent Assistant Award!" Tianba's words had a kind of kingly demeanor. The freshmen quieted down, and Tianba continued: "The third place winner of the assistant award is Liu Zhenzhen and Xue Mengya, second place is Tian Meigui and Ren Yiri, first place is Yang Xinghai and Tian Chenchen, please let President Zhang Anbang of the Wenwu Institute present them with the awards."

  The winner went on stage to receive the prize - a red envelope, and applause erupted from below. Some people even shouted loudly when they saw their instructor go on stage. There's a rule in our college that whatever the reward is, it's never made public by the college itself, only the winners know. But I think it shouldn't be too bad.

  "This time, the excellent teams are: third place 002 team with 150 people remaining, second place 001 team with 156 people remaining, and first place 007 team, which surprisingly has 160 people! Actually, everyone did very well this year, much better than previous years, haha." Tian Ba said with a big smile, "As for the rewards for the top three teams this year, after discussion, we decided to lower the threshold for Tian Fu's recording, as long as you have PPS5, you can get it."

  The applause was even more enthusiastic, the cheers were louder, everyone knew that the threshold of Tianjiao Academy was extremely high, and the original admission line for the Martial Class was above 6 points. Don't underestimate this one point, every year there are many people who miss it by just one point and lose their chance to attend a higher school. And being able to attend a higher school means having access to more resources, such as martial skills, divine weapons, and high-level mentors. These things are hard to come by with ordinary money, let alone for the children of commoners who mostly make up the new students, so they cheered and celebrated.

  "The last award is for the captains and vice-captains of the top three teams, please come on stage to receive the award, I will present it to them personally." Tian Ba smiled.

  When Xiaomei and I went on stage as the first prize winner, we heard waves of applause from below. Tianba gave each of us a red envelope, which we accepted with a bow after receiving it. What was actually inside the red envelope, only knew when opened, this also made the new students under the stage envy endlessly.

  Just as they were about to leave the stage, Tian Ba Dao said: "Wait a minute, there's one more thing. You few are the best among the newcomers, I'd like to test your physical qualities and talents today, hehe, I'm really looking forward to it." Then he looked at the ten people in charge of testing, who smiled and nodded.

  Finally able to test my physique, I was excited in my heart, and others were also excited. Because after testing the physique, you can cultivate martial skills according to your own situation and increase your strength.

  The test begins, first testing the physique, then testing pps. The division of labor among the ten great masters is as follows: five elderly men are responsible for testing the physique, while the other five elderly women are responsible for testing innate talent, that is, how much pps one has since birth. The better the physique, the higher the innate pps.

  From left to right, there were six people waiting for the test, but only five testers. Everyone looked around at each other. Modesty has always been my style, so I suppressed my desire to know and said: "You go ahead and take the test first, I'm not in a hurry."

  Hehe, no need to be modest about the physical test, because one of you already has a known physique." This sentence shocked the whole scene, who was it? Wasn't that the legendary innate body? A few people were in the know and just smiled.

  Actually, I was also an insider, so I didn't decline anymore and stood in front of the last elderly person. The other people had already started testing. The elderly person standing in front of me took out a simple and unadorned jewel from his bosom, then said kindly: "Child, come, close your eyes, let's begin."

  I felt like I was surrounded by a warm and cozy light, it's just one word: awesome!

  But after a while, it was like two extreme worlds of ice and fire. I didn't want to stay for a moment, every time I just entered and escaped with all my might. Sometimes it seemed like I was in a white world, sometimes in a dark world, and then again in a sharp golden world, wood, water, fire, earth and so on.

  Finally, a world didn't keep me either. Next, an air mass wrapped around me, it was really uncomfortable, I shook my strength, and the air mass didn't wrap around me either.

  After a while, I heard a faint sigh, then: "Kid, you can open your eyes now, eh."

  Upon hearing this sigh, although I had mentally prepared myself because my father and brother were both physically weak, with only the most ordinary physical constitution, my heart sank halfway. With caution and a bit of unease, I asked: "Master, what is my physical constitution?"

  "Hey, kid, you should be mentally prepared. Actually, having a normal physique isn't bad at all; there are many strong cultivators on the mainland too. I heard your literary talent is impressive, that's not bad either." Unexpectedly, this old man who tested my physique knew some things about me and spoke to comfort me, so I forced a smile and said: "I know, thank you!"

  After finishing, I was about to turn around and leave, only then did I remember that there were still talents that hadn't been tested. This time, Tian Jiao Mei didn't need to be modest either, she had already tested her physique with the others, pps99, which triggered a burst of applause from the newly born crowd.

  She attracted the attention of most people, in comparison, other children had dual attributes (water and wood) and pps8 Liu Xingyun; there was also a bright attribute pps9 Jun Xinran, with such high innate talent from birth, it's really rare to see; the remaining two were also air-attribute pps8 with good talent.

  I walked up to the last old lady, she took out a crystal-like jewel and asked me to stick my hand on it, and after the last test was done, I was surprised that many of those who cared about me and were familiar with me were disappointed by the result, which was that the test jewel had no reaction at all.

  Although I don't know what this means, seeing the complex expressions on everyone's faces, it seems like another bad result. Sighing in frustration, why can't the treasure orb detect my power? Is it really all in vain?

  However, I didn't feel too much sorrow in my heart. Family members know their own family matters. A dignified cultivator shouldn't care about these things!

  However, others don't see it that way. Some people who were originally preparing to get along with me sighed in regret and began to doubt their own judgment...
