“If you haven’t lost by the last round tomorrow, you’ll face me,” the girl said.
“Why?” Wang Che asked.
“Because the Enlightenment Cup is sponsored by Dino Tech, and I am the niece of the company’s CEO. So, you will definitely meet me there.”
Wang Che was utterly speechless.
Seriously…
Was she really saying that out loud?
“So?” he asked as he turned to look at her.
“My surname is Lin, and Lin Xi is my sister. I heard that she lost to you,” she revealed. “When the time comes, I will teach you a lesson.”
“You have a sister complex?” Wang Che provoked, glancing at her.
“Eh… You actually managed to see through the secret in the depths of my heart,” she said in mock surprise.
“You don’t look like your sister at all,” he commented, shaking his head.
“What do you mean?” she pressed on.
“Your sister is a normal person,” he noted as he stared at her. “But you… aren’t normal.”
“Haha.”
The girl laughed in response, but she wasn’t angry.
“You don’t believe me, do you? Why don’t you take a test?” Wang Che asked casually. “A test for mental illness. If the results come back normal, I’ll willingly admit defeat. How about that?”
“Sure,” the girl answered while supporting her chin with her hand as she gazed at Wang Che strictly. “I want to see what you’re up to.”
He nodded and grinned as he began, “I filled a bathtub with water. There’s also a basin with a small spoon in it. The thing is, you have to get rid of the water in the bathtub. What do you think a normal person would do…?”
“That simple?” The girl scoffed, “Can’t you just scoop the water out of the bathtub with the basin? You can use a spoon instead if there’s not much water.”
Then, she turned back at Wang Che smugly.
“Wrong. A regular person would just pull out the plug at the bottom of the bathtub,” he answered complacently.
“…”
She was stunned for a long time.
Wang Che stood up and left. As he was leaving, he commented, “Remember I said you aren’t normal? Hurry up and get a check at the hospital. It seems like you do have a serious mental problem.”
She considered it for a long time before contacting her private doctor.
After the doctor listened to her, he explained, “Ahem… Miss, that’s not a standard mental test question. It was just a simple joke… There’s nothing wrong with you, but you really shouldn’t have asked me…”
“F*ck!”
She blushed and shouted angrily.
Soon after, the afternoon’s competition began.
Wang Che took this championship lightly.
The opponents in the afternoon match were much more elementary, and he finished off the battles quickly.
Just based on soul power cultivation alone, no matter how strong a soul pet was, it was fundamentally impossible for them to beat his current green caterpillar.
On the first day, after three rounds, more than 800 people were eliminated, and there were only about 100 people left.
The next day was even more arduous.
The third day was the most intense. Only a dozen people would remain to compete for the top ten ranking.
Wang Che was conserving his energy.
Early the next morning, they arrived at the gymnasium.
Although most of the participants had been eliminated on the first day, the audience in the stadium only increased in size.
This was because those who had been eliminated had all gone to the spectator area.
In the class group chat, there was even more wailing and buzz.
Teacher Zheng: “Those who got through to the second day, type ‘1’. I want to see how many of you are there.”
After a long pause, only one person had responded.
Then, two more appeared.
Teacher Zheng: “Three? Not bad, you’re the best batch of students I’ve ever taught. Lin Xi, what about you?”
Lin Xi: “1. I got a free pass yesterday, so I managed to get to the second day.”
Teacher Zheng: “Very good. Right, what about you, Wang Che?”
Wang Che: “1.”
Teacher Zheng: “Wow, the green caterpillar actually got to this point. That’s impressive. If you persevere for another round today, you will be able to secure your position in the top hundred. The higher the ranking, the better the reward. I look forward to that!”
The other students chimed in with their messages.
“Wang Che, you really didn’t get eliminated?”
“A green caterpillar with 70 years of cultivation! Its soul power cultivation level is overwhelming! How strong and unreasonable!”
“Something doesn’t feel right. Can a green caterpillar even be this capable?”
“I’ve watched the competitions. Brother Che’s green caterpillar is ridiculously strong… It’s like a centipede among its own.”
“Today might be difficult… The competitors remaining typically have a soul pet cultivation above 50 years, sometimes around 60 years. The soul power difference is no longer vast.”
“The matches today will determine the trump cards of 26 zones. The third round will be the battles between them from each region. There are no free passes this time. This round is the only one that doesn’t have them since the rules of this year’s competition have changed slightly.”
