75: Practical exam, no one cares

The President of Huaxia University laughed unrestrainedly, while the faces of the other presidents turned green.

It seemed this calamity was unavoidable.

Suddenly.

The President of Jinghai University spoke, “Young Master Chu, if both of you join our university, the conditions we just offered can be given to you.”

As soon as he said this, the presidents present were first stunned, then immediately reacted.

They were all old foxes.

They immediately understood the President of Jinghai University’s meaning: this was about cutting losses in time.

They had all heard about the relationship between Chu Tianjiao, Jiang Zuoyi, and Yu Xiu; it could be said they had come all the way from the Training Camp together.

Furthermore, the fact that the two of them were now at Yu Xiu’s house already explained the situation.

Then there was Old Master Chu’s series of actions, which naturally brought Yu Xiu and the Chu family even closer.

As long as Chu Tianjiao was recruited into their university, they could then play the emotional card and persuade Yu Xiu not to challenge the rankings.

“Young Master Chu, we can offer better conditions than Jinghai University. As long as you are willing to join our university, everything is negotiable.”

“Your university ranks so low, Young Master Chu will definitely join our university.”

“Young Master Chu, your second uncle used to be at our university. No matter what, you should join our university and inherit your second uncle’s legacy!”

“Or join our university, we’ll give you double the benefits.”

Facing the sudden enthusiasm of the various presidents, Chu Tianjiao couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth curl slightly upward.

He, of course, knew very well what these people’s intentions were.

Besides, the benefits you offer, our Chu family doesn’t seem to lack!

Following my boss, living a life of luxury, is much better than being a workhorse at your university.

Moreover, your intentions are so obvious; once the freshman exchange competition is over, won’t I just revert to my original state?

All benefits and treatment would disappear.

But by staying with my boss, I can completely walk around Huaxia University with swagger.

“Thank you for your kindness, Presidents, but I still choose to follow my boss. He’s going to Huaxia University, so I’m definitely going there too.”

Jiang Zuoyi, standing next to him, also nodded and said, “I’m also going to Huaxia University.”

As soon as she said this.

The President of Huaxia University laughed again, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at the other presidents.

“Young Master Chu, congratulations on joining Huaxia University. Although the conditions for the two of you aren’t as good as Yu Xiu’s, I guarantee you’ll still receive SS-level admission treatment.”

“Benefits or not, it’s not important. The main thing is being able to follow the boss.”

The President of Huaxia University nodded happily.

This trip to Jiangtan, he could be said to have reaped a full harvest, a definite big winner.

Not only that.

He could also show off and act cool in front of the other presidents. This feeling of exhilaration was something he hadn’t experienced in decades.

“You old geezers, make sure to clean up your rankings by then.”

After saying this, the President of Huaxia University couldn’t help but laugh again.

This scene.

Watching it made the other presidents feel suffocated. They snorted coldly, turned their heads, and left.

“Thank goodness, thank goodness!”

Watching the presidents leave, the President of Huaxia University finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite his arrogant and smug demeanor just now, his heart was still pounding.

He was afraid of something going wrong.

Afraid that the presidents would disregard everything, frantically offer conditions, and Yu Xiu would switch sides at the last minute.

“Yu Xiu! And Young Master Chu, after the practical exam ends tomorrow, I will personally deliver your admission notices.”

The President of Huaxia University smiled, then greeted Yu Xiu’s parents before turning and leaving the villa.

Yu Xiu’s parents and the others, on the other hand, were now beaming with pride.

Their child being fought over by the presidents of the Ten Famous Schools in the country was something they could boast about for a lifetime.

“I’ve decided, after Xiao Xiu’s martial arts exam, we’ll go back to our hometown to worship our ancestors.”

As soon as his father said this, the others also nodded in agreement.

Such an event was enough to bring glory to their ancestors, and returning home to worship them was only natural.

Regarding this.

Yu Xiu naturally had no objections.

Whether in his previous life or this one, such things were traditions deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.

…

The next day!

Yu Xiu’s family once again arrived at the Martial Arts Association’s training ground.

Today was the last item of the martial arts exam, which was the practical exam.

After verifying their identities.

They entered the examination hall.

Within the training ground, hundreds of assessment points had already been demarcated.

According to the regulations of previous martial arts exams, the practical exam was conducted in a ring-defense style.

Students ranked highest in the overall scores of the previous items would successively be responsible for defending the rings at the assessment points.

Other examinees would choose the ring master they wished to challenge according to their own wishes.

Each person had three chances.

The practical exam was based on a scoring system.

Monitoring equipment on site was responsible for monitoring the examinees’ Martial Skills, as well as their combat experience, and finally the outcome of the match, using these three aspects to give the final score.

Without a doubt.

Yu Xiu was the number one ring master.

However, after he stepped onto the stage, not a single person came to challenge him.

Even Chu Tianjiao, who was in second place, had accepted challenges from more than a dozen people within half an hour, and the same was true for the other assessment points.

Only his spot was empty.

“Why isn’t any student going to challenge assessment point number one?”

“Are you new here?”

“Don’t you see who is at assessment point number one? It’s Yu Xiu! Look at the big screen above; he’s a Martial Venerable. Let alone these examinees, do you dare to challenge him yourself?”

“Exactly. Challenging others can still earn some performance points, but if you challenge Yu Xiu, with his Aura alone, examinees can’t even stand steady. There are no performance points either, so no one is willing to do something like that.”

“That analysis makes a lot of sense. Although victory and defeat count towards the score, performance points are also very important. With so many students participating in the martial arts exam, a single point could mean a difference of hundreds or thousands of ranks. Just thinking about it feels like a loss.”

“So, does this mean our Jiangtan is going to produce a national martial arts exam champion this year?”

As soon as he said this, the people around him cast scornful glances.

When Yu Xiu’s strength was revealed, the title of national martial arts exam champion was already something countless people took for granted.

No one mentioned it, simply because they felt asking such a question was too embarrassing.

A Martial Venerable powerhouse, even a fool would know who this year’s national martial arts exam champion was.

“Boss, why don’t you tell the examiner we’ll just go home? You’re completely just making up the numbers here!”

“With your reputation as a Cultivation God, only someone with a brain problem would challenge you.”

Chu Tianjiao, who had just finished a match, then teased Yu Xiu with a mischievous look.

“There’s still the challenge between ring masters later, isn’t there? I can challenge you.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianjiao’s face immediately turned green, and he pleaded, “Boss, let’s not do this, okay? If you’re annoyed with me, you can abuse me however you want when we get home.”

“This is the martial arts exam; let me get some performance points!”

“If you challenge me, I probably won’t have any hope for Huaxia University!”

“Boss, how about I kowtow to you? Let’s not mess around, okay?”

Yu Xiu chuckled playfully and said, “Then you shut your mouth.”

Chu Tianjiao quickly drew a line across his mouth with his finger, looking at Yu Xiu with a pleading expression.

The meaning was self-evident.
