Cao Qian's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was enough for people nearby to hear.
Deadly silence.
Because the people in the outer circle didn't hear clearly, they all anxiously asked what Cao Qian said.
Cao Wen opened her mouth wide, and after a moment of confusion, she lost her voice: "Brother... you said you lost to Shen Qian? How is this possible!"
Shocked, Cao Wen couldn't control her voice. Now most people heard it, and even the people in the inner circle were confirmed. It turned out that she heard correctly just now.
"Cao Qian lost to Shen Qian, so what?"
There was also a candidate from Hongcheng who didn't respond and asked the person next to him.
"Brother, you are not good at logical thinking!"
A candidate from Mingcheng next to him analyzed, "Look, Geng Qianqiu was the strongest in the previous rumors, right?"
The man nodded blankly.
"As a result, now Geng Qianqiu can't beat Li Jiaqi, nor can he beat Cao Wen. Then, judging from the reactions of Cao Wen and Li Jiaqi, Cao Qian is better than them, but Cao Qian actually said that he was defeated by Shen Qian. ..."
"So it turns out that Shen Qian from Jingcheng is the strongest?"
The man reacted for a while, finally understood, and said with a shocked face.
When he saw other "older brothers" looking at him with disgust, he could only lower his head in shame, ashamed of himself for not fitting in.
"Even you lost?"
Li Jiaqi, who raised her eyebrows, did not worry about the authenticity, because it was impossible for Cao Qian to make such a joke in public, and just asked in surprise.
"It seems that you have also met him. No wonder you will appear here." Cao Qian laughed.
"Well, he... is outrageous. If I don't confirm some issues clearly, I won't be able to sleep well." Li Jiaqi openly admitted her defeat.
Cao Wen felt incredible, "But when he fought against me, he was obviously only a little better than me. If he hadn't made a temporary breakthrough..."
Li Jiaqi was moved when she heard this, and couldn't help but interject, "Speaking of it, the process of my fight with him was not right either. He was clearly at a disadvantage, but suddenly he became powerful."
If it was just Cao Wen who said this, Cao Qian wouldn't care, but when he heard Li Jiaqi say the same thing, Cao Qian couldn't help but be startled.
"If that's the case, there are only two possibilities." After thinking for a while, Cao Qian said calmly.
"Which two?"
"The first is that he was indeed not that strong at the beginning, but he continued to improve and became stronger and stronger in a very short period of time, from being on par with Xiaowen to defeating me."
"This is impossible!" Cao Wen and Li Jiaqi both shook their heads, unwilling to accept this fact.
This is really appalling.
"Then it's the second type. He hides his strength and deliberately plays tricks on you." Cao Qian said firmly, obviously this is what he really wanted to say.
Cao Qian took a deep look at the Provincial Gymnasium behind him, and Cao Wen, angry and frustrated, left first.
Now is not the time to compete with Shen Qian.
But Cao Qian found that a long-lost sense of expectation arose in his heart.
Because, he saw a piece of "sky" again.
Li Jiaqi, who still had obsessions in her heart, did not leave, but her expression was a little dazed.
Although the first thing Cao Qian said might be a bit of a joke, Li Jiaqi couldn't help but recall the ancient martial arts skills Shen Qian performed.
She is sure that apart from the Li family, no other place has the inheritance of "Landslide".
What if...just what if, he really learned it during the fight?
And she clearly remembered that Shen Qian didn't know what the martial arts skills she performed were at first, and he even asked her.
If he was just teasing her, then... this person is too hateful!
Another person was in shock.
Geng Qianqiu's mind was buzzing. Cao Qian was not Shen Qian's opponent?
He finally knew the reason why Cao Wen and Li Jiaqi attacked him in anger.
Geng Qianqiu only felt ridiculous.
In just ten minutes, he became the one at the bottom, and the strongest person turned out to be Shen Qian, who should be the weakest.
The disgraced Geng Qianqiu left without saying a word. Some attentive people noticed that the knuckles he clenched with too much force had lost their color.
Ouyang Fei and others who noticed Geng Qianqiu passing by finally figured out what happened and looked at each other, but were speechless for a long time.
"Is Shen Qian so strong in actual combat? If you say so, he must have held back that day..."
Gu Zifang murmured.
Chen Peng and others all smiled bitterly.
"No wonder he hasn't come out after staying in there for so long."
Ouyang Fei was the quickest to feel relieved, and said with a smile: "I'm just curious to what level he has reached?"
"What a pity." Gu Zifang also laughed at first, and then couldn't help but say, "If he didn't make mistakes in the first two subjects, maybe... maybe this time we in Jingcheng really hope to get the top pick!"
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Ouyang Fei opened his mouth, but didn't say what he wanted to say.
He just suddenly remembered that Shen Qian had never admitted that he failed in the exam. What if...what if what he said was true?
But it is impossible to explain why the well-informed Qianxing Society did not send an invitation to Shen Qian if this was the case.
This is also the point where netizens on the Jingcheng Forum attack Shen Qian the most.
"If you beat others in one subject, you can at least save some face." Chen Peng said with a smile.
There has been no movement at the Provincial Gymnasium examination center since Geng Qianqiu came out, but there are still many people who haven't left and glance over there from time to time.
If what Cao Qian said is true, then obviously... Shen Qian will be the last person to walk out of the door in this examination room.
Time keeps passing.
In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed, and just when many people couldn't help but want to disperse, or were wondering if Cao Qian was joking, a young man finally walked out of the door.
"Shen Qian!"
"It's really him. I saw him once in Jiutian Pavilion that day..."
"I didn't expect him to be so strong in actual combat. It's a pity that I heard he didn't do well in the first two subjects."
Discussions started, and when people around him pointed and pointed with surprise, Shen Qian was a little surprised, what happened?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Before he could react, a gust of fragrant wind blew against his face, and a girl with long hair and bright features appeared in front of him. She was gnashing her teeth and staring at him with complicated eyes.
"Shen Qian, you are finally willing to come out!"
"...Why are you here?"
Shen Qian looked a little embarrassed when Li Jiaqi suddenly appeared. He didn't expect that the opponent couldn't win online and chose to "rush" directly.
However, Shen Qian also probably knew what the other party wanted. After all, the system had stolen the secret of his family for nothing. He was happy at the time, but now he has to face the consequences.
Ouyang Fei and others saw that the atmosphere was not right, so they stopped silently, as if they were watching the excitement.
Shen Qian, who was still counting on a few people to save the day, had a headache. The system was considered unethical this time, and he couldn't think of any good explanation for the moment.
I'm afraid the other party won't believe it if I say I realized it on the spot. No, it should be said that no one will believe it.
It's too contrary to common sense.
Just as Shen Qian was thinking about his words, Li Jiaqi, who had been looking at Shen Qian for a while, suddenly said: "Give me your hand!"
"Ah?" Shen Qian was stunned.
"Why are you, a grown man, so coy?"
Li Jiaqi muttered, reached out and grabbed Shen Qian's wrist, and then touched Shen Qian's bracelet with her own.
When Li Jiaqi let go, Shen Qian lowered his head and saw that the two had become communication friends.
What is this operation?
Shen Qian was confused.
"Today is not the right occasion. I'll settle the score with you another day!" Li Jiaqi snorted, glared at Shen Qian again, then kicked her long legs and turned to leave.
Shen Qian, who was let off so easily, was startled and could only sigh, women are really weird.
"Shen Qian, we have all heard about it."
Ouyang Fei and others gathered around at this time, all looking very happy for Shen Qian.
After Gu Zifang explained what had just happened, Shen Qian realized that while he and Ma Gongzuo were bragging, such a dramatic scene actually happened outside.
"Cao Qian has left?" Shen Qian glanced around and couldn't find Cao Qian, so he asked.
"Well, let's go with Cao Wen." Ouyang Fei nodded and said with a smile, "I was worried just now that he came here to compete with you again. After all, such great geniuses are arrogant..."
Shen Qian smiled and said nothing. Cao Qian indeed had not given up yet.
It's just the battlefield that the two agreed on, but it's not here.
Thinking of some of the information that Ma Gongzuo vaguely revealed just now, Shen Qian also became somewhat curious about that grand event.
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom!
Judging from Cao Qian's few words, he attached great importance to that event.
"By the way, which floor have you reached?" Ouyang Fei asked curiously.
"It's probably almost the end."
The secret of getting a perfect score in the college entrance examination is subject to the no-word rule left by King Jiangling, and it is not convenient to talk about the meeting with Ma Gongzuo, so Shen Qian can only talk vaguely.
"Awesome!" Ouyang Fei and others did not ask for details, they were just impressed.
"Okay, the college entrance examination is over. Is it interesting to still talk about this here?" Gu Zifang waved her hand boldly, "Let's go and drink. I won't come back until I'm drunk today!"
"Zifang is right, there will still be some days until the results are released, it's time for us to relax a bit."
Ouyang Fei smiled and said, "You don't know yet, but City Lord Chai has already booked a private room for us in Jiutian Pavilion in advance, and we can have dinner and sing karaoke all at once. All the expenses tonight will be paid for by the City Lord's Mansion."
Shen Qian was a little surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about it, it was normal. This was probably considered the "privilege" of a genius.
Regardless of the final result, at least Chai Haotian has not lost the magnanimity that a city lord should have.
"Then let's go."
Shen Qian, who shook his head and smiled, said, "He doesn't like being treated like a monkey here either.
Just when everyone was about to leave, there was some noise outside. Everyone didn't want to pay attention to it, but Shen Qian suddenly stopped.
"Why do I seem to hear someone calling my name?" Shen Qian frowned.
The others were startled and listened carefully. Someone was indeed calling Shen Qian's name.
At this time, the crowd parted. Under the guidance of others, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase quickly locked eyes with Shen Qian and others and walked straight over.
"Excuse me, who is classmate Shen Qian?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"I am." Shen Qian came out and asked doubtfully, "Hello, who are you?"
"Hello, classmate Shen Qian!"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook hands with Shen Qian. He just took out a business card and handed it to Shen Qian. He introduced himself: "My name is Sun Ping. I currently work for Huaxia Qianxing Club and am an employee of the Administrative Affairs Management Department." ."
People from Qianxing Club?
Gu Zifang and others looked at each other in surprise, and then suddenly smiled.
It seems that because of Shen Qian's amazing performance in actual combat, the belated invitation from Qianxing Club finally arrived.
"Hello." Shen Qian also guessed something, but still asked: "Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm here as a messenger today to deliver an invitation letter to classmate Shen Qian." After saying that, Sun Ping took out a beautifully wrapped letter from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Qian.
The letter bears the unique logo of the Thousand Stars Society, a star shaped like a diamond that is shining shimmeringly.
Sure enough.
Although he was surprised that the message was not sent by a spirit pigeon, Shen Qian did not object to joining the Qianxing Society. The purpose of "resource exchange" was quite useful to him.
"Thank you, are there any other procedures required to join the company?" Shen Qian took the letter and asked casually.
Sun Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Classmate Shen Qian misunderstood, this is not an invitation letter to join the club."
"What?" Shen Qian raised his head in surprise, and Gu Zifang and others also looked at him in astonishment.
"I blame me for not making it clear just now." Sun Ping kept smiling, "This invitation letter is mainly to invite student Shen Qian to go to the Qianxing Society branch in Mingcheng in the near future to participate in our assessment."
"Assessment?" Shen Qian narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"What assessment?" Gu Zifang heard something was wrong and immediately turned cold, "You mean, if Shen Qian wants to join the Thousand Star Club, he still needs to pass your assessment?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Dear Qianxing member Ms. Gu, I am honored to answer your questions."
Facing Gu Zifang, Sun Ping's smile instantly became more sincere, and he bent slightly and began to explain.
"Since Mr. Shen Qian's grades in the first two subjects may not be very outstanding, we originally had no plans to invite him to join the club. Today's invitation is based on the fact that Mr. Shen Qian is very likely to achieve high scores in the actual exam, so A special opportunity for him."
"Bullshit opportunity. Since we know that he is very strong in actual combat, why can't we directly invite him to join the club?" Gu Zifang said angrily.
Listening to the vague discussions coming from all around, Ouyang Fei and others didn't look very good-looking. Who would care about this kind of opportunity?
"Sorry, this is the rule of Qianxing Society." Sun Ping's posture was very low, but his tone was very calm.
Shen Qian smiled.
If everyone needs the assessment, that's fine, but if only he needs it, even if it's not specifically targeted, it's still an insult to him.
"Excuse me for making this trip. Please take this invitation back." Shen Qian threw the invitation back coldly.
"Are you sure you want to reject this opportunity?"
Sun Ping raised his head in astonishment and reminded him kindly, "What Qianxing Club means, I think Student Shen Qian must know very well. I know that Student Shen Qian may think it is unfair, but in fact it is just an established process."< /p>
"Believe me, after joining the Qianxing Club, Shen Qian will definitely feel that it is all worth it..."
"And if you give up this opportunity because of a moment of frustration, this will be your biggest loss!"
"No, you are wrong." Shen Qian smiled and said, "This is not my loss, but Qianxing Club's."
Sun Ping smiled, with a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something else, there was a sudden thunder in the air.
Everyone who was gathering at the entrance of the Provincial Gymnasium to watch the excitement looked up in shock.
Why did it thunder again?
Boom!
This time, it was different from the last illusion, it was really thundering.
And the thunder came so suddenly, without any warning.
After the thunder, in just a few seconds, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning and thunder slowly formed a 100-meter-long vortex, and there was something vaguely about to break free from it.
Everyone looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky in shock. They didn't know how such a scene could occur in Mingcheng, which has a weather regulation system, and it seemed that there was no strong guard to intervene.
Amidst the dull gazes of countless people, a colorful dragon suddenly emerged from the whirlpool.
It was a thousand meters long, with a golden light in its mouth, and its whole body was filled with brilliant lights. After hovering in the air for a while, it suddenly swooped down towards the Provincial Gymnasium.
Shocked exclamations rang out, and Shen Qian was about to retreat with the others when a loud voice as loud as the heavenly foundation resounded.
"Hundred King Palace, please come in and join the club!"
