Chapter 57 (2/2)

The three of them all looked embarrassed. “Our grades are very average… We were beyond the thousandth in every subject!”

“What about me?”

“You’re even more average… You’re were last place in every subject…” said Zhao Chen.

“…”

“How many teams have been screened out because of this new rule?”

“One…”

“…”

“Why don’t we invite a top hundred student to our team?”

“Nobody wants to. They all fled when they heard about us…”

“…” Shen Zhe was at a loss for words.

He was rather bummed.

He had been planning to distinguish himself, but the fire of his dream had been doused before it could spread.

“Is there nothing we can do?”

“There’s one way, which is to take a test right now. As long as we make it to the top hundred in any subject, we’ll pass!” said Zhao Chen.

“Why don’t we do that?” Shen Zhe was relieved.

“Mostly because…” The three of them were all embarrassed, “None of us can make it to top hundred in any subject!”

If they could do that, they wouldn’t be the tailenders of the school.

“Aren’t you at the peak of stage six in body polishing? Can you not make it to the top hundred in body polishing tests?” Shen Zhe frowned.

“Body polishing is never appreciated… There are no special tests for that…” Zhao Chen smiled bitterly.

“…” Shen Zhe was speechless.

It was indeed tricky.

“Actually, we’re here to discuss with you. We’re hoping that you can make it to the top hundred in battle technique tests…” After a brief hesitation, Zhao Chen expressed his thought.

His friend had grasped the Falling Leaves Palm and could run faster than a horse. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to make it to the top hundred.

“Battle technique tests?”

He was already adept at the Falling Leaves Palm. It wouldn’t be hard for him to reach the top ten…

However, his crisis was not over yet, so he had to keep a low profile. He had made up his mind to show his abilities as little as possible.

Must he expose himself before the contest started?

An idea popped up in his head. “I can learn battle techniques with a pot. Can they do the same?”

If they could learn battle techniques that way and succeed, they would be qualified to sign up and would certainly get a good result in the contest.

More importantly, it could divert the public’s attention and allow Shen Zhe to lay low!

“That’s a good idea! The problem is that boiling water is too hot!”

It was a good solution but he had to solve a problem first, which was to prevent the three of them from being cooked.

He was at stage eight of body polishing so he could resist the boiling water, but his friends were only at stage six!

If they soaked in boiling water, they would be cooked even before the battle technique was.

“If only the temperature of the water could be lower…” Shen Zhe suddenly patted his forehead, “How did I forget that?”

It was hard to lower the temperature under normal circumstances, but not so on a plateau!

When he climbed a mountain in his previous life, water boiled at 89 degrees at the altitude of 3,600 meters.

His friends would be cooked on the plain… But what if the pot was moved to Mount Thorn, which was more than five thousand meters high?

There, the water would boil at around eighty degrees.

That temperature would be no threat for Body Practitioners at the peak of stage six.

“Let’s do that…” Clenching his fists, Shen Zhe glowed and looked at friends. “Do you want to learn battle techniques?”

Zhao Chen and the rest of them were stunned.

“You will become adept at them today!” Shen Zhe nodded his head.

“Adept at them today?”

“Well…”

After the shock, his friends all said passionately, “Of course we’ll learn! Only an idiot would refuse!”
