Chapter 79's scores are out, and the leader is far ahead!
Chapter 80's scores are out, and the leader is far ahead!
10 PM.
Su Chen and about ten others were scattered around the benches by the track.
The group had just completed four runs: one kilometer, three kilometer, five kilometer, and ten kilometer, one run of each.
Apart from Su Chen, everyone else scored between 640 and 680 on this week's test.
However, Su Chen's final ranking in this speed competition was stuck in the middle!
This is not surprising.
The speed requirements for top students in the college entrance examination are not too exaggerated. Once their physical fitness is improved, their speed will naturally increase as well.
For example, Jiang Yunxin's Qingyun Steps are a typical advanced combat movement technique, extremely fast in short-distance maneuvering, but not suitable for pure straight-line racing.
The college entrance examination has set speed as the current standard, which is the result of 30 years of repeated verification. It does not create a large score difference, but it can screen out those who cannot keep up with the time and agility.
Su Chen held the water bottle in one hand and supported his knee with the other, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his temples.
Zhang Yan walked around from behind him, bent down and came close to him, and said, "You and Guo Hao didn't agree on which event to compete in, did you?"
'
"Although you can beat me in the 1000m, 3000m, and 5000m, you're really bad in the 1000m! I managed to run 28 this time."
"You only have 29 minutes and 11 seconds left, and you're still 22 minutes and 22 seconds."
#8
She spread her hands, her tone now tinged with serious worry: "What if Guo Hao realizes something's wrong and suddenly all four of them compete? How are you going to handle that?"
Su Chen straightened up, took a sip of water, and tightened the bottle cap.
He had certainly thought about this question.
In last week's speed test, even with Wang Yichuan's "Shadowless Step" added, he was still 7 seconds slower than Zhang Yan in the 5km race.
But now that he has the Overlord Body Technique, he ran the 5,000 meters in 13 minutes and 19 seconds! Compared to the weekly test, that's an improvement of 15 seconds.
Zhang Yan's time this time was 13 minutes and 26 seconds, which was an improvement over her weekly test, but she has already been overtaken by Su Chen.
Su Chen chuckled lightly, his tone indifferent: "Since I dared to make this bet, I naturally want to make it flawless! Only three days have passed since the bet was made, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Yeah, right!" Zhang Yan raised her chin, then added, "You're a complete pervert!"
Su Chen rolled her eyes, too lazy to retort.
Zhang Yan, however, was afraid he would slap her head, so she quickly jumped back two steps after speaking to create a safe distance.
Su Chen watched her actions, smiled, and shook his head.
Jiang Yunxin kept an eye on this side.
She put down her water bottle and walked over: "It seems your speed has improved even more. Now it looks like Guo Hao won't have a easy time beating you!"
Su Chen placed the water bottle on the bench: "I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."
These words reminded Jiang Yunxin of the three-month bet they had made two hours earlier.
Does he really have a way to surpass himself and others?
She ate the king fruit too!
Although the King Fruit wasn't a perfect match for her fire-attribute constitution, the improvement was decent, but far from exaggerated.
Su Chen didn't seem to be particularly compatible with the Overlord Fruit...
She blinked, her bright eyes now filled with even more inquiry, and said earnestly, "I don't want to argue with you about the three-month bet. I'm just curious... Where do you get your confidence? Seriously, I'm itching to play! I'd really like a million too, hahaha~"
Su Chen smiled too.
Do you really think I'm a money-giving boy?
To be honest, he wasn't sure if he could overcome that hurdle in three months and catch up with people like Jiang Yunxin in terms of hard skills.
If it really came down to a competition, he wasn't absolutely certain.
But once the bet is actually made, he will only have one answer in his mind: win!
"Time will tell, won't it?" Su Chen met her gaze, his tone calm. "Verbal victories and defeats are meaningless."
Jiang Yunxin gave him a deep look.
Clearly, the three-month bet has become a knot in her heart, and she can't let it go anytime soon.
Just then, Zhang Yan glanced down at her phone and excitedly shouted to everyone, "The weekly points are out!"
You guys should take a look!
As she spoke, she waved vigorously at Su Chen, "Look! Look how much you've improved this time! How much did you get as a reward! You even got Beast Taming Points this time!"
Hearing this, Su Chen felt a surge of anticipation.
Who doesn't want to reap real rewards after putting in effort? Especially cash.
He's just a vulgar man who loves money!
He quickly opened the points mall.
Sure enough, a new "Beast Taming Shop" entrance appeared on the interface, but it was empty when I clicked on it, with no products listed yet.
Su Chen returned to the main interface and looked at the changes in his points.
[Points change: +2550]
Points Balance: 4230
Su Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.
What the hell!
He stood there, completely stunned.
Jiang Wei only earned 5,000 points last month, right?
Last month there were five quizzes, two weekly tests, and one joint exam with ten schools!
The points I've earned this time are probably equivalent to Jiang Wei's single reward in the ten-school joint exam?
2550 points! That's equivalent to 500,000 Federal Credits!
Previously, his family provided him with money; this was the first "big" pot of gold he earned himself.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, Zhang Yan became anxious and started jumping up and down: "How much is it? Tell me quickly!"
Su Chen suppressed the turmoil in his heart and pulled his phone screen closer to his chest: "I'm sure I have a lot! You go first. By the way, I don't even know your total score this time."
"Hehe~" Zhang Yan's face showed an uncontrollable smugness. "641 points! More than 630! As for the points... there's been a small improvement, I got 530."
"You got 530?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow. "Normally, shouldn't Jiang Wei have gotten over a thousand?"
"Not just that!" Zhang Yan shook her finger. "It's probably around 1,300 or 1,400."
"If she got so many points on a weekly test, how could she have only made five thousand last month?"
"Who said five thousand!" Zhang Yan's eyes widened. "She got over four thousand in the ten-school joint exam, okay?"
Su Chen crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "That's what the dog said! Last Sunday was the speed test, and when I was looking at the points mall, you told me that her points increased from 63,000 to 68,000, which is 5,000 a month."
Zhang Yan's face flushed red.
"I...I misjudged it back then."
Her voice instantly dropped halfway, and she poked her two index fingers together in front of her: "I didn't expect the reward for senior year to be so high."
"Hehe~"
Su Chen rolled her eyes at her, then turned her gaze to Wang Yichuan and Lin Xiyue, who had unknowingly gathered around: "How much are you two?"
Lin Xiyue showed him her phone screen and said softly, "820, Beast Taming Points 170."
Wang Yichuan scratched the back of his head, his tone slightly embarrassed: "800, Beast Taming Points 150."
Su Chen clicked his tongue: "It seems that Xi Yue does indeed have a better chance!"
He hasn't even asked about their total score yet.
Based on current assessments, Yuzuki's score should be higher!
Wang Yichuan was quite open-minded and nodded generously: "Xi Yue is about to fuse with the Spirit Pearl, while I'm still far behind. I can only rely on Xi Yue."
Lin Xiyue was not one for fighting, but at this moment, for the sake of the team, a strange emotion welled up in her heart.
She pursed her lips slightly and nodded: "Okay... I'll try my best!"
Then, she raised her light brown eyes and looked at Su Chen, her tone filled with curiosity: "Su Chen, what about you?"
"I should get a lot of Beast Taming points this time."
"Oh, right, right! I almost forgot." Su Chen suddenly remembered that the Beast Taming Points were awarded proportionally.
Even if it's the lowest percentage of 10%, it's still over 200, right?
Moreover, the homeroom teacher said that the minimum percentage for the top classes is 15%.
He immediately looked down at it.
Holy crap!!!
The exclamation was quite loud, attracting the attention of several people nearby.
Zhou Chengjie was walking over from the other end of the track when he heard the exclamation. A smile spread across his face, and he waved from afar, saying, "What's up? Looks like your reward this time is pretty generous!"
"Haha~ We've caught a lucky break, what can we do?"
Su Chen wasn't being modest.
His ranking was already low, and the school always offered generous rewards to students who made exceptional progress.
Now we've also caught up with the Beast Taming Points System: to put it bluntly, we've hit the jackpot of policy benefits!
Suppressing his excitement, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Chengjie: "How much?"
"Not much. 700, and only 130 Beast Taming Points."
97
Zhou Chengjie spoke frankly, without the slightest hesitation.
His Shadow Panther performed only so-so in this practical assessment, not even as well as Little Purple.
Given that he was already ranked high, his improvement wasn't as dramatic as Su Chen's, so his points naturally wouldn't increase significantly.
Su Chen couldn't help but look at Jiang Yunxin again: "And you?"
Jiang Yunxin met his gaze, tilted her head slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, and looked at him for a while before speaking: "800, Beast Taming Points 140. Judging from your expression... it seems you'd like to have a match with us?"
"Haha~" Su Chen laughed, "My points are indeed very high this time. However, to exchange for a high-bloodline beast, a ranking is required! I obviously don't meet that requirement."
Zhang Yan was practically bursting with curiosity. She took a step forward, hands on her hips, and demanded, "How much is it? Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Su Chen stopped hiding it and turned his phone screen over to show everyone.
"2550. Beast Taming Points, 700."
The air was silent for about a second.
"Holy shit!" Li Yu from Class 5 was the first to react, his voice cracking, "That high???"
After he finished speaking, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something more, but he swallowed the rest of his sentence.
In fact, he was thinking that the share of Beast Taming Points allocated to No. 1 Middle School was also limited.
Instead of giving these points to top students like Jiang Wei and Wu Chen so they can compete for high-bloodline beasts, giving them to Su Chen instead... isn't that a bit inappropriate?
But this thought only lingered in his mind; he would never say it aloud.
Everyone has seen Su Chen's performance in this practical assessment. Besides, his points were calculated according to the rules; it's not like he stole anyone's points.
Jiang Yunxin showed no displeasure whatsoever.
She looked at the number on Su Chen's phone screen, still wearing that slightly lazy smile, but her tone even became more serious: "Since your score is so high, and Xi Yue's beast-taming score is also higher than ours, how about we have another three-way competition?"
Let's decide who's better.
Although Zhou Chengjie had the lowest score among them, he was the first to express his opinion.
"I'm fine! If we lose, I'll follow the rules."
He paused, his gaze sweeping from Jiang Yunxin's face to Su Chen's, his tone steady: "After all, we must understand one thing: only high-bloodline beast tamers can be of help to us!"
"This will help us get higher scores in the college entrance exam!"
"If we train them separately... then how will we compete with students from those base cities that have better resources?"
That really hit the nail on the head.
Su Chen was quickly calculating in his mind that his chances of winning were very slim.
Even with high points, the redemption requirements may not be met in the short term.
His biggest worry was that the Beast Taming Mall would start offering services after this large-scale joint examination.
How could he win in just four weeks?
Just as he was hesitating and about to refuse, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Xiyue stood two steps away from him. Her fingers gripped the hem of her clothes, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
When Su Chen's self-light met hers, Lin Xiyue finally spoke.
Her voice was softer than usual, tinged with a barely perceptible nervousness: "Su Chen, could you... come here for a moment?"
Su Chen instantly understood what she meant.
Lin Xiyue, who is usually unassuming and doesn't compete for anything, seems to have some ideas of her own.
She didn't want to remain invisible in the team; she wanted to fight for the team.
"OK!"
Su Chen stood up and quickly followed.
Behind them, Jiang Yunxin and Zhou Chengjie exchanged a glance.
Jiang Yunxin tilted her head slightly, a knowing smile on her lips: "It seems that Xiyue has her own ideas this time as well."
"Anyway, if my side loses, we will definitely accept the loss and give all the Beast Taming Points to the team!"
'
She paused, her gaze lingering on Zhou Chengjie's face for a moment, then asked, "What about you?"
Zhou Chengjie laughed heartily: "My team has five core members, all brothers! You can rest assured about that!"
"OK!"
