Qian Mo raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Heh, I won't join Tang Wulin's team. However, you should see me during the competition."
Qian Mo also had some guesses about the true reason why the academy arranged for him to come to the Outer Court.
If Qian Mo was compared to a fierce tiger, then the first-year students, and even the entire Outer Court, were like little white rabbits. Putting a fierce tiger among a group of little white rabbits could only be to make the little white rabbits run faster, although some might also be scared to death.
But the little white rabbits that could be scared to death were not the kind of students Shrek Academy wanted to cultivate.
Therefore, the academy would definitely arrange for Qian Mo to participate in the competition, and there was a high probability that he would appear as a big boss.
As expected, Wu Changkong appeared at the classroom door and coldly announced, "In this class competition, Qian Mo and Gu Yuena will each form a single group and directly enter the final round of the selection competition. They will face off against the two groups that emerge, and the winners will enter the finals."
As soon as Wu Changkong finished speaking, the entire class was in an uproar, because didn't his words mean that Qian Mo and Gu Yuena would each fight five people!
Luo Guixing was the first to ask, "Teacher Wu, according to the rules you announced, is this unfair to Qian Mo and Gu Yuena, and is it unfair to the other students in the class?"
Wu Changkong said coldly, "This is the academy's arrangement. If you think it's unfair, you can choose not to participate."
After speaking, Wu Changkong turned and left, no longer paying attention to the displeased Luo Guixing.
Qian Mo smiled faintly, patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, and said, "I hope to fight you in the final round."
Tang Wulin watched Qian Mo and Gu Yuena's departing backs, his eyes flickering. He turned to Ye Xinglan and said, "Ye Xinglan, I think we need to unite."
Ye Xinglan crossed her arms and smiled disdainfully, "Do you think that if we unite, we can defeat A Mo and Gu Yuena?"
Tang Wulin shook his head and said firmly, "It's difficult, perhaps even impossible, but I want to try. Even if we lose, we can witness true Sky's favored ones, and it won't be a loss!"
Ye Xinglan nodded upon hearing this and said coolly, "I like what you said. I'll join your team."
"Okay, welcome to the team." Tang Wulin extended his hand. Ye Xinglan raised her hand and slapped it.
Xu Lizhi had a smiling face and said, "Okay, this is good."
On the other side, the five young geniuses from the Young Genius Ranking, Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, Xu Yucheng, Yang Nianxia, and Zheng Yiran, gathered together. The five of them formed a team.
Wu Siduo complained with a gloomy face, "Letting those two people, whose origins are unknown, directly enter the final round, and having them fight five people each, the academy is just messing around!"
Luo Guixing, who had calmed down, analyzed in a deep voice, "Shrek Academy is not foolish, and they would never do something without a reason. Those two people must have something to rely on for the academy to believe they can fight five people."
Zheng Yiran snorted coldly, "Luo Guixing, then tell me, what kind of advantage could someone of the same age have that would allow them to defeat the five of us?"
"None," Luo Guixing did not refute Zheng Yiran, but instead agreed, "The five of us united, I don't believe anyone of the same age can defeat all five of us. The academy is definitely being overconfident this time."
"Then should we report it to the academy?" Wu Siduo asked indifferently. As a genius who entered the top ten of the Young Genius Ranking before the age of twenty and possessed the Hell White Tiger, a self-Spirit fusion skill, she was quite proud. Fighting five against one was not what she wanted.
"No, this is also an opportunity for us. We need to prove ourselves in this selection competition, prove that the academy's judgment was wrong, and the academy's evaluation of the five of us will definitely rise," Luo Guixing said confidently.
Yang Nianxia strongly agreed with Luo Guixing and supported him, saying, "I think Luo Guixing is absolutely right."
The others all expressed their agreement. Finally, seeing Wu Siduo also nod, Luo Guixing smiled slightly, "Then it's decided. Let the academy see how powerful the five of us are."
Just as they walked out of the classroom, Gu Yuena complained to Qian Mo, "The academy is really good at arranging things for us. Fighting five each, they really trust us. Aren't they afraid we'll lose and make the academy a laughingstock for the students?"
Qian Mo said indifferently, "It's precisely because the academy knows that even if we fight five each, we can't possibly lose, that they arranged for us to participate to dampen the arrogance of this year's first-year students."
"It's also a good opportunity for me to see the level of the geniuses of our age and whether there are any future competitors for me."
Gu Yuena rolled her beautiful white eyes and said, "I think you just purely want to show off in front of people."
"What do you know? I'm doing this to cultivate an invincible heart, to help me break through to the peak in the future," Qian Mo said righteously.
"Stop talking about me, hurry back and prepare. You've just entered the four-ring level, and you're struggling to control the One-Word Battle Armor right now. Be careful not to capsize during the competition," Qian Mo said.
Gu Yuena raised her head, gently tossed her smooth silver hair, and said confidently and proudly, "I can't possibly lose!"
This was the confidence of the Silver Dragon King!
"Alright, let's shock this era together!" Qian Mo put his hand on Gu Yuena's shoulder and said boldly.
Three days later. Shrek Academy Outer Court, First Year Class One.
The class selection competition was held as scheduled on the sparring platform. When the students of First Year Class One arrived at the sparring platform, they saw Ya Li waiting on the stage.
She wore a water-green long dress, looking clean, elegant, and full of vitality. She was extremely beautiful, with a delicate face. Her long dark green hair was scattered behind her.
She had a slender figure and her face looked to be about thirty years old, with inner essence contained within and a gentle smile on her face. Time seemed to have been especially kind to her, leaving not a single mark on her face.
Seeing her, Shen Yi and Wu Changkong quickly stepped forward and bowed together.
"Your Majesty."
"No need for so much ceremony, quickly get up," Ya Li said with a smile.
"Everyone, greet Saint Spirit Douluo Your Majesty," Wu Changkong said coldly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," all the students of First Year Class One bowed simultaneously.
Ya Li smiled slightly, "The sparring platform is for sparring, but you should also try your best to unleash your abilities to stimulate your potential and improve yourself. Alright, I'll leave it to you."
After speaking, Ya Li's gaze lingered slightly on Qian Mo and Gu Yuena, her smile deepened, and then her body floated up without any fanfare, landing on a high stool at the edge of the sparring platform.
She was the referee for this class selection competition. Under her control, all students in this selection competition could rest assured and go all out.
Wu Changkong turned to the students and said in a deep voice, "This internal class selection competition adheres to the principles of openness, fairness, and impartiality. Currently, the class is divided into nineteen groups. Later, the matches will be conducted by drawing lots. Qian Mo and Gu Yuena's two groups will directly advance to the final round. It's a single elimination system. Today, the strongest group will be determined, and four days later, they will represent our class in an exchange match with Second Year Class One. The Secondary occupation exchange will involve the class committee members of the Secondary occupation. The drawing of lots begins now."
