233: Chen Du is not as good as Gao Zhongwang

“That being said, we are, after all, a civilization, and we must follow rules in our actions.”

“Although this rule is not in the competition, according to the legal provisions of the High Martial Civilization…”

“If the competition is unexpectedly terminated, it is either completely void, or the time of the unexpected termination is taken as the end time of the competition.”

Pang Tian Ce said calmly.

With decades of life experience, he had seen all kinds of people.

Good-tempered, bad-tempered, quick, slow, etc., he had his own way of dealing with them.

“So you want the student with the highest points to be first?”

Dabu Liu, Vice-Principal of Black Dragon Martial Arts University, interjected.

Dabu Liu was a man of few words; his active interjection just now was because of this Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition.

The student with the highest points was precisely Black Dragon Martial Arts University’s Number 3, Gangchuan Guiren.

“I disagree!”

Just as Pang Tian Ce was about to speak, Yan Bujin objected first.

“This Gangchuan Guiren, according to your description, is just a run-of-the-mill Grade A students.”

“Although he temporarily holds the top spot in points, that’s only because the competition ended prematurely.”

“If the competition had proceeded normally, he would definitely have been eliminated!”

Dabu Liu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to silently agree with Yan Bujin’s words.

Although what the other party said wasn’t pleasant, it was indeed the truth; if the competition had continued normally, Gangchuan Guiren would indeed have been eliminated.

After all, his strength was limited, and even without Gao Zhongwang, he wouldn’t have taken first place.

“Old Pang, rules are dead, people are alive. The top resources of our High Martial Civilization must be used where they matter most.”

“Gangchuan Guiren is a Genius, but compared to Gao Zhongwang, he is just an ‘ordinary person’.”

“Not quite.”

Pang Tian Ce shook his head, a slight smile on his lips.

“I didn’t say I was going to give first place to Gangchuan Guiren, but rather…”

“To Chen Du!”

“Heh…”

Yan Bujin laughed.

“Old Pang, isn’t that too obvious?”

“You set the rules yourself, but then you don’t follow them?”

“This Chen Du, in terms of strength, he lost to Gao Zhongwang twice. In terms of points, he doesn’t have as many as Gangchuan Guiren. What right does he have?”

“Just because he’s from Qilin Martial Arts University?”

“Or because you are the hosts of this year’s competition?”

“Yan Bujin!”

“That’s a harsh thing to say!”

“Our Three Great Academies, broadly speaking, are all one family. There’s no such thing as using power for personal gain!”

Huang Yang and Tong Hai spoke up for Pang Tian Ce together.

“Based on potential.”

Pang Tian Ce’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied.

“Oh, ‘based on potential,’ then let’s talk about potential right now!”

Yan Bujin snorted and continued:

“I admit that Chen Du indeed has some potential; I even believe he is the second most promising person in this competition, besides Gao Zhongwang.”

“But your calculation is flawed.”

“If you follow the rules, first place goes to Gangchuan Guiren. If you don’t follow the rules, first place goes to Gao Zhongwang.”

“You’re essentially following the rules first to exclude Gao Zhongwang, and then not following the rules to pick the strongest among the remaining students.”

“Since that’s the case, then you haven’t followed the rules yourself!”

Pang Tian Ce smiled slightly upon hearing this, a feeling of everything being under control.

“Rules are indeed man-made, and resources must indeed be given to the right people to achieve exceptional results.”

“Little Yan, what you said makes a lot of sense, and I share that thought.”

“So I don’t intend to follow these rules; instead, I want to void the competition, but the prizes will still be given!”

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this; they hadn’t expected Pang Tian Ce to have this idea.

A few seconds later.

“So you believe Chen Du’s potential is above Gao Zhongwang’s?”

It was Ma Rui, Vice-Principal of Tianfeng Martial Arts University, who spoke. He had watched the entire competition.

Afterward, he even watched Chen Du and Gao Zhongwang’s Imperial City PK with his old classmate, Gao Zhongwang’s father.

“Old Pang, our friendship is one thing, but when it comes to cultivating new blood, I will not let any personal emotions interfere.”

“Chen Du is indeed excellent, even better than I expected. If not for Gao Zhongwang and this unexpected incident, he would definitely be the champion.”

“But let’s set all that aside for now and just talk about potential.”

“Chen Du is not as good as Gao Zhongwang!”

“Although you are the host, if you insist on your own way, this matter will require a vote.”

“I believe everyone here has sharp eyes.”

“Right.”

Yan Bujin, also from Tianfeng Martial Arts University, took over the conversation.

“Chen Du’s greatest potential lies in the Five Secret Treasures. I have to admit that he is extremely lucky to have Awaken two Mystic Treasures before Level 15.”

“Although Gao Zhongwang has one less, you should also be able to guess that he is an S-Class Student!”

Everyone nodded. Not all Vice-Principals knew about this, but Level 15 with 4 Mystic Treasures was indeed the standard for S-Class.

Everyone present was battle-hardened, and the strength Gao Zhongwang displayed undoubtedly proved that he met all three criteria.

But he was an S-Class who failed to activate the secret treasure heart effect.

“Although Gao Zhongwang has one less Mystic Treasure than Chen Du, their growth curves are different!”

“Everyone here is an Advanced Aerial Warrior, so you naturally understand the importance of a growth curve.”

“A person who meets all three criteria will have no weaknesses, and their growth curve will be incredibly astonishing, almost a pre-destined Advanced Aerial Warrior.”

“This is also why only those who meet all three criteria can Awaken a Mystic Treasure; this is a rule of heaven and earth, a theorem!”

“So, purely in terms of potential, one extra Mystic Treasure alone is not as important as Gao Zhongwang’s growth curve!”

Facing Yan Bujin’s lengthy discourse, Pang Tian Ce’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied:

“Chen Du is also an S-Class contract, not the ‘quasi’ type, but a true S-Class.”

Pang Tian Ce’s single sentence had an immediate silencing effect, especially on those from Black Dragon Martial Arts University, who were stunned.

What!

You all have S-Class Students?

A few seconds later.

“Not enough!”

Yan Bujin frowned, then continued:

“It’s come to this, so I won’t hide it anymore. Gao Zhongwang’s Life Strength index is 100 points!”

“He is the first person in our High Martial Civilization’s history to achieve 100 points in the Life Strength index!”

“In this regard, he even surpasses those three, making him the first in the history of High Martial Civilization!”

Yan Bujin’s words exploded like a clap of thunder.

“My apologies.”

“Chen Du’s Life Strength index is also 100 points!”

“This means that Chen Du will 100% Awaken a sixth Mystic Treasure at Level 15!”

“Furthermore, Chen Du’s Martial Skill was also demonstrated during the competition, and it is exceptionally high, just lacking time.”

“Additionally, Chen Du’s mental strength is particularly outstanding; he is the most excellent among his peers I have ever seen!”

“Even Gao Zhongwang can’t compare!”

“Do you think his potential is enough?”

After Pang Tian Ce finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Yan Bujin.
