Sun Mo didn't like crowds, so he always got up early so that he could have breakfast before the morning rush hour in the cafeteria.
"Let's continue to eat Xiao Long Bao today, plus a porridge. No need for pickles."
Sun Mo counted the savings in his pocket. Although eating meat early in the morning was not healthy, the xiaolongbao in the cafeteria was very good.
After leaving the dormitory building and turning up the path to the playground, you can see many trainee teachers walking back after their morning exercises.
Because they are competitors, they hardly say hello to each other, and their eyes are either sizing up or ignoring each other.
"Teacher Sun!"
Sun Mo was a little surprised when he heard someone calling him an honorific title. He followed the call and saw a girl with a beautiful face standing under the maple tree on the roadside.
"It's you?"
Sun Mo was a little surprised. The girl was wearing a well-tailored men's clothing, but with her fair skin, soft facial features, and slender figure, anyone could tell that she was disguised as a man.
This girl was Li Ziqi who almost drowned when she tried to save Sun Mo. The system also issued a task for Sun Mo to accept her as a student.
"Teacher Sun!"
Li Ziqi smiled sweetly, and her black and white eyes immediately turned into two crescents. She raised her feet and ran this way, but after just a few steps, her toes hit the stone slab.
Snapped!
Li Ziqi was slapped on the bluestone like a pan.
"Are you OK?"
Sun Mo was startled and hurried to help him, but then stopped because Li Ziqi put her head in her hands, bent her legs and huddled up.
"Uuuuuuuah, I'm embarrassed again. Why am I so stupid?"
Li Ziqi really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Because of your kindness, this ant can continue to enjoy the scenery of this world."
Sun Mo did not help Li Ziqi, but squatted beside him, watching a passing ant on the ground.
"Eh?"
Li Ziqi was stunned.
"You are such a kind and good girl!"
Sun Mo chuckled, pinched an ant and shook it.
"Eh?"
Li Ziqi was still in a daze, but then he understood. Sun Mo thought he fell down because he was dodging the ant, right? Oh, he changed from a fool to a kind girl in an instant, and his face was saved. This made Li Ziqi
Qi felt happy.
"No one has ever treated me like this!"
Li Ziqi felt very strange. When she fell before, the servants, guards, and aunts would be scared to death and rush over to comfort herself. But today, she had a different experience for the first time in her life.
How should I put it, there is no longer the embarrassment of the past, but I am a little happy.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Sun Mo put down the ant and handed over a handkerchief.
"Eat, I've eaten."
Li Ziqi took the handkerchief and was stunned for a moment before realizing that her mouth was wet. It was obvious that her nose was broken and there was blood flowing down. She quickly wiped it.
"What are you doing here?"
Sun Mo is not so narcissistic as to think that others are here to find him.
"The admissions meeting will be in three days, and there is also the Douzhan Hall assessment today, so let's take a look in advance."
Li Ziqi saw the blood on the handkerchief and her cheeks turned red: "I'll wash it clean and give it back to you!"
…
The Dou Zhan Hall of Zhongzhou Academy is quite famous throughout Jinling City, and the students there are all good at fighting.
If there are students who are motivated to achieve something in martial arts, it would be a good idea to join here.
"There are so many people!"
Li Ziqi saw that many students had gathered outside Douzhan Hall, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are they all challengers?"
"Yes!"
Sun Mo looked for Qi Shengjia. Some of these students were praying, some were taking the time to warm up, and some were confident and chatting with others.
The reputation of Douzhan Hall is so great that the assessment every three months is always full. There is even a situation where one member of Douzhan Hall has to face three or four students. In order to avoid this situation,
The leader of Douzhan Hall has made a rule that after a challenger fails, the next challenge will not be allowed until half a year later.
This is Qi Shengjia's last chance. If he loses, he will have to wait for half a year, and he doesn't know the outcome of the next challenge. Even if his father doesn't complain, he will drop out of school.
The expensive tuition fees and the lack of progress in his studies made Qi Shengjia really embarrassed to stay.
At eight o'clock sharp, the war drums sounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The students who crowded the small square in front of Douzhan Hall closed their mouths in unison, raised their heads, and looked in the direction of the gate.
A young man nearly two meters tall stood there like an iron tower and announced loudly.
"All challengers will line up in front of the gate, and then draw lots. They will compete one by one according to the numbers drawn. If the number is passed, it will be treated as a forfeit."
After hearing this, the students immediately swarmed forward to grab a good seat.
"Quiet, whoever is fighting will be deprived of the right to challenge."
The young man scolded, his voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
The students immediately lined up honestly. This was Zhu Ting, who was ranked fifth in the Dou Zhan Hall. He was famous for not recognizing his relatives and always followed school rules. If he said that he would be deprived of qualifications, there would be absolutely no possibility of accommodation.
We don’t want to lose our qualifications just because we are fighting for a position. That would be too miserable.
When the team became more orderly, the efficiency became much faster. The students walked past an iron box placed in front of the gate and stretched out their hands to draw lots.
"God bless!"
As soon as a student finished shouting, Zhu Ting yelled at him.
"God will not bless you. Only hard work is what you rely on. If you don't have confidence, get out and don't waste everyone's time."
Zhu Ting scolded: "And you guys, please move faster. Do you think the box is a woman's body? You put it in and don't want to take it out?"
What Zhu Ting said was interesting, but none of the students dared to laugh.
No one dared to waste time. They reached out and pulled out a wooden sign from the box. They didn't even bother to look at it carefully and quickly got out of the way.
"The rest will be drawn by lot tomorrow!"
After the five hundred people drew lots, Zhu Ting immediately stopped the students behind him because the number of people in Douzhan Hall remained at five hundred.
"Get ready. The challenge will begin in ten minutes!"
After Zhu Ting finished speaking, he picked up the iron box weighing at least one hundred kilograms with one hand and turned back to the Dou Zhan Hall.
"It's over!"
As soon as Zhu Ting disappeared, a student slammed the wooden sign in his hand on the ground and couldn't help but wailed.
The people next to me took a look and immediately responded with sympathy.
On the thumb-sized wooden sign, there are three words engraved on it: 'One, Fang Yan.'
Fang Yan, a seventh-grade student, is recognized as the number one person in Douzhan Hall. This unlucky guy can draw him out of five hundred students. His luck is unlucky.
This was not the only one who sighed and looked disappointed. Almost all the students who got into the top 100 had expressions of mourning.
The wooden cards used for drawing lots are the membership cards of Douzhan Hall members. In addition to the name, the number in front is the student's ranking in Douzhan Hall.
There are also various competitions within Douzhantang. Based on the results of the competition, the rankings are updated every six months.
Sun Mo didn't waste much time to find Qi Shengjia. He was sitting on the steps, staring blankly at the ground. His eyes were red, and he had obviously cried.
"Bad fortune?"
Seeing Qi Shengjia's state, Sun Mo basically guessed the answer.
"The one I'm facing is Peng Wanli."
Zhou Xu handed over a wooden sign, but Sun Mo didn't take it, but he saw the number in front of the person's name was 'one hundred and six'.
"Everyone will see your efforts. If you continue, you will win against the top 100 opponents in half a year."
Wang Hao comforted him, but he didn't believe it himself.
In the past few days, Qi Shengjia was full of confidence and talked more. He was always shy and even said that he could pass the test. However, after the lottery was drawn, all his energy and energy drained away.
"teacher!"
Seeing Sun Mo, Qi Shengjia let out a sad cry, just like a cuckoo crying for blood.
"Hey, isn't this classmate Qi Shengjia Qi? That's not how you looked when you made bold remarks this morning to pass the Dou Zhan Hall exam!"
Yan Li came here specifically to see Qi Shengjia fail and then ridicule him. Unexpectedly, this guy's luck was so bad that he was already sure to lose without even challenging him.
"Let me see, who is the opponent?"
Yan Li came over and said, "Peng Wanli? Tsk tsk, this one is in the same grade as us. He is in the sixth level of physical training. His set of eighteen Arhat palms is very famous. You are only in the third level of physical training. How can you win?"
"The victory armor is the fourth level."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes.
"Fourth level? Have you been promoted recently?"
Yan Li was stunned, and then he cursed in a low voice. Although he was at the fifth level, Qi Shengjia was still one level behind him, but he still felt unhappy when he saw someone he hated promoted.
"Are you done yet? Leave quickly!"
Zhou Xu frowned.
"I just kindly reminded him not to be beaten to death. Let alone the fourth level, even if he is the sixth level, he can't beat Peng Wanli."
Yan Li laughed and left. This annoying poor guy was finally going to drop out of school and get out. It felt so good. He must go out for a big meal to celebrate in the evening.
"Ruined."
Qi Shengjia stood up and walked out unsteadily, indicating that he was about to give up.
Wang Hao and Zhou Xu were not surprised by this. If they were to play, the injury would be minor, but if the injury was serious, medical expenses would cost a lot.
Sun Mo's brows furrowed, enough to pinch a sea crab to death.
"I shouldn't have such extravagant hopes, wuwuwu!"
Qi Shengjia raised his hand to wipe his tears, crying sadly.
Sun Mo stared at Qi Shengjia and saw that the potential value was still low. This kind of thing will not be improved out of thin air because of reasons such as 'sympathy' or 'you are a good person'.
"System, open the mall!"
As Sun Mo thought silently, the shelves unfolded in front of him.
There were so few things. Sun Mo looked around and his eyes fell on the lucky treasure box at the bottom left of the shelf.
'The lucky treasure chest is worth ten points of favorability, and has a one-thousandth chance of extracting skills, items, techniques, etc.'
Looking at the note on the lucky treasure box, Sun Mo decided to take a gamble.
