Because they had wasted quite a bit of time in Garden City and missed the River City military train, Jiang Fan and the others took a helicopter back this time.
The original seven- or eight-hour journey was shortened to just one hour.
An hour later, the helicopter landed on the roof of the River City Martial Arts Association.
President Wu hurried downstairs with the two of them, heading straight for the Martial Artist examination room.
"Uncle Wu!"
When they reached the corner of the first-floor stairwell, Li Yutang called out from behind President Wu.
President Wu and Jiang Fan suddenly stopped and turned around.
Seeing Li Yutang remain where he was, President Wu asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Yutang?"
Li Yutang hesitated as he glanced at the doors facing the corridor entrance.
"Uncle Wu, I won't be going over."
"We've been away for quite a while this time. My family might be worried."
"And... I should also properly prepare for the college entrance examination."
President Wu froze, then looked at Li Yutang with a complicated expression.
"Yutang, you..."
"You've worked hard this time!"
Li Yutang had failed to place in this Genius Selection Competition. In fact, he had been at the very bottom among everyone.
For a moment, President Wu could not find the right words to comfort him.
Li Yutang understood what President Wu meant and smiled calmly.
"Uncle Wu, you don't need to say anything more!"
"After participating in this Genius Selection Competition, I finally saw the gap between myself and the others!"
"What's laughable is that I used to feel smug just because I was a Level 2 Martial Artist!"
"From now on, I'll settle my mind, reflect properly on myself, cultivate properly, and work hard to catch up with them!"
"It's just..."
Li Yutang spoke solemnly.
