Who Is the Newcomer King?

The second-floor corridor of the gymnasium.

A group of school leaders stood atop the platform, looking down at the new students below, exuding an air of grandeur as they awaited the start of the Opening Trial.

Student Union President Zhou Xuehong also came up.

He wanted to observe the performance of this year's freshmen during the Opening Trial and select suitable candidates to join the Student Union.

"President Zhou, you're being too petty. It's just that you Li Yijin on the Martial Platform at the beginning of the year. Is it really necessary to take it out on his younger brother?"

As soon as he saw Zhou Xuehong coming over, Liu Chuanwu couldn't help but complain about him.

Just now, when Zhou Xuehong released his Advanced Being pressure on the stage, he specifically targeted Li Moyu in the audience, suppressing her until her face turned pale and she almost suffocated.

This behavior is so tasteless.

Ma Zhenhe, standing nearby, laughed, "Anyone can say that, but you, Liu Chuanwu, have no right to say it. When it comes to being petty, among the nearly 20,000 teachers and students at Shanhai University, who can compare to you Liu Chuanwu?"

"Ha, how can these be the same?"

Liu Chuanwu sneered, then retorted, "My pettiness is only directed at the person involved; it never extends to their family."

Ma Zhenhe ignored him.

As for Zhou Xuehong, he didn't even glance at him once from beginning to end, treating him like he was invisible.

Liu Chuanwu was not popular at school, especially with the students from the Evolution Academy. They were basically mortal enemies and couldn't stand each other.

"Dean Ma, I heard your daughter did very well on the college entrance exam. What were her scores exactly?"

Zhou Xuehong stopped by the Ma Zhenhe, watching the new students coming and going below, and asked casually.

Ma Zhenhe smiled with a hint of pride, "It's not bad, I only got fourth place in Capital City."

"Fourth in Capital City?"

Zhou Xuehong murmured to himself, then said, "Dean Ma, let your daughter join the Student Union. I'll groom her to be the Presidential Seed."

Ma Zhenhe smiled and said, "I'll definitely join the Student Union. I'll have to trouble President Zhou to take good care of Xiwei in the future."

Zhou Xuehong didn't laugh, but calmly said, "I will take care of any genius."

Special treatment? There's no need for that.

His invitation to Ma Zhenhe's Daughter, Ma Xiwei, to join the Student Union was not an attempt to curry favor with Ma Zhenhe, Dean of the Evolution Academy.

Instead, they genuinely believed in Ma Zhenhe's Daughter and wanted to groom her as a Presidential Seed.

As the Student Union President, his power was no less than that of the Dean of the Evolution Academy.

Both are at the same level and directly report to the principal.

If we had to compare their status, the Student Union President might hold a higher position in the school than the Dean of the Evolution Academy.

After all, they are both Advanced Being. The Student Union President is only in his early twenties, much younger than the forty-something Dean of the Evolution Academy. His future Achievement are destined to be greater.

And if Achievement in the future, their current status will naturally rise accordingly.

"Who do you think will become this year's Newcomer King, Li Moyu or Ma Xiwei, these two outstanding freshmen, in the upcoming Freshman Entrance Trial?"

Zhou Xuehong glanced at Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei below, and asked the question to the leader beside him in a calm and collected voice.

A bald male leader said, "It should be Li Moyu. His Biological Rank is already at the Ordinary Tier 5. His physical strength is basically invincible among the freshmen."

A female leader, whose limbs and chest were made of alloy, offered a different perspective. "Although Dean Ma's daughter's college entrance exam scores were slightly lower than Li Moyu's, she successfully fused with the genes of the Shadow Night Cat during the summer vacation, and now her strength is actually no weaker than Li Moyu's."

Another school leader predicted, "I think it's still Li Moyu. Although Ma Xiwei underwent Gene Fusion, it was only a small part, so her strength improvement is quite limited."

Besides these three school leaders, other school leaders have also been expressing their views.

The number of people who are optimistic about Li Moyu and those who are optimistic about Ma Xiwei is roughly evenly split.

In the eyes of the school leaders, Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei are the two Peerless Twin Stars freshmen of this year at Shanhai University, with their overall strength far surpassing that of other freshmen.

Of course, this is only at the current stage.

As for who will be number one in the future, it's still hard to say right now.

After all, it's only the beginning of the school year, and Gene Fusion hasn't started yet. Who's stronger or weaker can only be determined by the strength of their physical bodies.

Once Gene Fusion begins, the rankings of strength will be completely reshuffled.

In my opinion, neither Li Moyu nor Ma Xiwei will become the Newcomer King.

While others were analyzing who had the advantage between Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei, Liu Chuanwu suddenly blurted out this remark.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him.

One of the school leaders asked with a smile, "Dean Liu, who do you think should become the Newcomer King?"

Liu Chuanwu blurted out, "Of course, it's Lin Zichen, a member of my Heavenly Human Pavilion!"

Everyone else couldn't help but laugh when they heard that.

That's a really funny answer.

Based on Lin Zichen's Physical Fitness Test Data for the college entrance examination, he didn't even rank in the top 10 among this year's freshmen. How could he become the Newcomer King?

Just because he's a member of the Heavenly Human Pavilion, does that mean you're just praising your own wares?

While others were merely internally criticizing it.

Ma Zhenhe chose to speak directly, saying sarcastically, "Dean Liu has a truly unique eye for talent. With your discerning eye for people, Heavenly Human Pavilion will surely flourish."

"Hehe."

Liu Chuanwu gave a habitual cold laugh and looked at Ma Zhenhe, saying, "Dean Ma, stop with the sarcastic remarks. I just think Lin Zichen can become this year's Newcomer King. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."

Ma Zhenhe: "What do you want to bet?"

Liu Chuanwu: "To put it simply, let's bet on Credit."

Credit are the universal currency at Shanhai University.

Besides exchanging for various evolution resources, you can also directly exchange them for money.

Even the salaries of teaching staff are paid in Credit.

"Dean Liu, how much are you willing to bet?"

"100 Credit!"

When Liu Chuanwu said he would bet 100 Credit, the surrounding school leaders couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

When Liu Chuanwu just mentioned making a bet, everyone thought he was just being stubborn.

Unexpectedly, he was really going to gamble, and he was betting a very large sum of money.

You should know that 1 Credit can be exchanged for 10,000 yuan.

Betting 100 Credit is like betting 1 million; that's a pretty high gamble.

Ma Zhenhe frowned slightly, unable to understand how Liu Chuanwu dared to make this bet, and suspected that there was something fishy going on.

For example... bribing popular players to fix matches.

But Ma Xiwei is his own daughter; how could Liu Chuanwu possibly bribe her?

Li Moyu, on the other hand, is the eldest son of the Kyoto Li Family. He is not short of money at all, and it is impossible for him to be bribed.

So what exactly is Liu Chuanwu up to?

Ma Zhenhe was completely baffled by this.

Other school leaders were equally baffled.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you chickening out?"

Seeing that his mortal enemy was slow to respond, Liu Chuanwu said smugly.

We need to use reverse psychology on our arch-rival.

"Joke!"

"It's just 100 Credit, that's only my basic monthly salary. What's there for me to be afraid of?"

"On the contrary, you're so poor you have nothing to your name. Don't try to renege on your debts when you lose."

Ma Zhenhe took the bait and accepted Liu Chuanwu's bet.

He, who is usually as steady as a rock, is prone to losing his temper in front of Liu Chuanwu.

"Don't worry, with so many people watching, I can't renege even if I wanted to."

Liu Chuanwu said with a smile.

Seeing him smile, Ma Zhenhe became even more suspicious.

What makes this old man dare to bet with me?

Could it be... that Lin Zichen can really become the Newcomer King?

But how is that possible?

Ma Zhenhe felt increasingly uneasy, but he couldn't figure out what Liu Chuanwu was really up to.

After much deliberation, all I could do was wait for the Freshman Entrance Trial to begin downstairs and see what happened next.

"It's the same gamble of 100 Credit!"

"Anyone else want to bet with me?"

"President Zhou, are you coming?"

"Dean Gao, what about you?"

"Director He, I've noticed you enjoy playing cards. How about we make a bet?"

After making a bet with Ma Zhenhe, Liu Chuanwu set his sights on other school leaders, intending to make a fortune from this Freshman Entrance Trial.

Other school leaders found it very strange, but they couldn't understand how Liu Chuanwu could have won.

After hesitating for a moment, they ultimately gambled with Liu Chuanwu.

"Principal Yuan, you're here too?"

Liu Chuanwu set his sights on Yuan Dongzhi.

Yuan Dongzhi said calmly, "Then let's gamble."

"Betting only 100 Credit is not befitting your status Principal Yuan. How about betting 1000 Credit?"

Liu Chuanwu knew just how rich his ex-wife from a wealthy family was, and today he was determined to plunder her gold coins.

Yuan Dongzhi narrowed his eyes. "Dean Liu, do you have that many Credit to gamble?"

Liu Chuanwu: "If I don't have enough Credit, I'll pay them off with money."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Dongzhi glanced deeply at the location of his kidneys and said calmly, "Since you want to gamble, then we'll gamble 1000 Credit as you say."

Seeing that everyone had made a bet with him, Liu Chuanwu just smiled on the surface, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Nine bets for 100 Credit.

One bet equals 1000 Credit.

That's a total of 1900 Credit!

That's 19 million!

This is incredibly profitable!

While Liu Chuanwu was secretly pleased.

The Dean of the Mechanical Academy looked at Ma Zhenhe and teased him with a smile:

"Dean Ma, Lin Zichen, the Top Scholar of College Entrance Exam, was originally a freshman at your Evolution Academy, but Dean Liu poached him halfway through. Aren't you heartbroken?"

"Feeling sorry for you?"

Ma Zhenhe scoffed, "He's just a provincial Provincial Second Place. The Evolution Academy has plenty of him; they don't need another one."

The Dean of the Mechanical Academy smiled but remained silent.

He had heard about Ma Zhenhe poaching those three senior students from the Heavenly Human Pavilion.

This shows that Ma Zhenhe was only saying he didn't care, but he was actually furious inside.

Thinking it over, the Dean of the Mechanical Academy looked at Yuan Dongzhi on the other side and asked curiously, "Principal Yuan, who do you think will become the Newcomer King?"

Yuan Dongzhi looked at Shen Qinghan below and said calmly, "I don't know who will become the Newcomer King, but I do know that my disciple, Shen Qinghan, will definitely be the number one student at Mountain University in three years."

Disciple Shen Qinghan?

When did Yuan Dongzhi take the top scorer in the college entrance examination of Nanjiang Province as his disciple?

The Dean of the Mechanical Academy was a little confused.

The other school leaders present were also somewhat bewildered.

However, what puzzled them even more was how Yuan Dongzhi could be so certain that his disciple would become the top student at Mountain University in three years.

Is it really based on Gene Fusion fit of up to 16%?

The problem is, Shen Qinghan isn't the only one in the school with a 16% Gene Fusion rate.

Top Scholar Li Moyu of Capital City, also ranked 16%.

Not to mention, Li Moyu's Physical Fitness Test Data far exceeded Shen Qinghan's.

With such a huge discrepancy in Physical Fitness Test Data, how could Shen Qinghan, with her seemingly frail body, possibly become the top student at Mountain University?

The more they thought about it, the more puzzled they became.

In the end, I just felt that Liu Chuanwu and Yuan Dongzhi had very similar ideas and approaches.

The former had an inexplicable overconfidence in the members he had just recruited into the Heavenly Human Pavilion, while the latter had an inexplicable overconfidence in the disciples he had recently taken in.

No wonder these two were able to become husband and wife; their thoughts are almost identical in some aspects.

At the same time.

Downstairs.

The new students were enthusiastically discussing the rules of the Opening Trial.

There's a large Martial Platform ahead. Whoever can stand on the Martial Platform alone for more than one minute will be this year's Newcomer King and will be awarded 100 Credit.

The second person to do this will be awarded 90 Credit.

This continues until the tenth person achieves this, at which point they are awarded 10 Credit.

Under normal circumstances, the top ten in this Opening Trial would definitely be all freshmen from the Talent Class.

Because the ability of the new students in the Talent Class far exceeds that of the new students in the Ordinary Class.

The gap between the two is so great that even the [Machine God Class], sponsored by the Machine God Group, is no match for the [Talent Class].

After all, if Gene Fusion is possible, who would willingly undergo Mechanical Modification?

Under the influence of this concept, top geniuses will only enter the "Talent Class" and will never enter the "Machine God Class".

Therefore, the gap in strength between the Talent Class and the Ordinary Class is so great that the top ten in the upcoming Opening Trial will definitely be swept by the Talent Class.

But now, in addition to the basic ranking rewards, this Opening Trial also includes a special reward for freshmen in Ordinary Class.

If even one freshman from Ordinary Class makes it into the top ten, all freshmen from Ordinary Class will receive a 1- Credit reward.

What does this rule mean?

This means that the leaders of Shanhai University want to see freshmen in the Ordinary Class unite and gang up on the freshmen in the Talent Class.

The Talent Class refers to the Talent Class at the Evolution Academy.

Ordinary Class refer to all classes other than Talent Class.

Even the [Machine God Class], which has an imposing name, is still considered Ordinary Class.

Therefore, the current number of students in the [Ordinary Class] and [Talent Class] is as follows:

[2959 people] vs. [50 people]!

This is a nearly 60-fold advantage in numbers!

The freshmen in the Ordinary Class can easily overwhelm the freshmen in the Talent Class with sheer numbers!

Using their numerical advantage, they ganged up on the Talent Class, exhausting the Talent Class freshmen's stamina and helping the strongest freshman in the Ordinary Class break into the top ten!

In this way, all new students in the Ordinary Class will receive 1 Credit!

Many of the freshmen in the Ordinary Class have realized this.

As a result, many of the more proactive freshmen from the Ordinary Class have begun organizing other freshmen from the Ordinary Class to devise a plan to gang up on the freshmen from the Talent Class.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Suddenly, a voice amplified several times by the microphone rang out on the stage.

Upon hearing this sound, everyone in the stadium turned to look at the stage.

Then, I saw a muscular guy with a buzz cut standing on top.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the boy with the buzz cut began to speak loudly:

"My name is He Yu, and I'm from Evolution Class 6!"

"My high school deskmate is named Lin Zichen. Everyone should know that he was the Top Scholar of College Entrance Exam in Nanjiang Province, that his Physical Fitness Test Data was the highest in Nanjiang Province, that he joined the Heavenly Human Pavilion, and that he is a freshman at the Martial Arts Academy!"

"In other words, he's the strongest among the freshmen in the Ordinary Class!"

"Once the Opening Trial begin, I suggest we all gang up on the Talent Class students to wear them down and help Lin Zichen break into the top ten!"

"In this way, everyone in our Ordinary Class will get 1 Credit, which is equivalent to receiving 10,000 yuan!"

When he said this last sentence, He Yu deliberately raised his voice, letting it echo throughout the entire stadium through the microphone.

Soon, a large number of freshmen in Ordinary Class responded to his call, shouting it out one after another.

"That boy on stage is right. We need to unite and gang up on the Talent Class to wear them down and help Lin Zichen break into the top ten!"

"All students in the Machine God Class will do everything in their power to help Lin Zichen break into the top ten!"

"All students of Evolution Class 2, pave the way for Lin Zichen to break into the top ten!"

"All students of Mechanical Class 3, same as above!"

"Where's Lin Zichen? Come up on stage and say something to everyone!"

"I see him! Lin Zichen is there! He's sitting right behind the Talent Class!"

Someone spotted Lin Zichen and immediately pointed at him, shouting this sentence loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Lin Zichen.

Sitting next to Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan suddenly felt tense and urgent to urinate when so many eyes were on her.

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Lin Zichen had no choice but to get up, leave his seat, walk onto the stage, take the microphone from He Yu, and address the audience:

"Thank you all for your support. I will definitely break into the top ten later and live up to your expectations."

"Oh oh oh oh oh--!"

"Lin Zichen is awesome!"

"Invincible! We'll definitely break into the top ten!"

At that moment, the freshmen in the Ordinary Class shouted excitedly.

One by one, they were all full of imposing presence.

Hearing the waves of sound, the new students in the Talent Class all smiled.

Siege?

Does it consume physical strength?

Help Lin Zichen break into the top ten?

Ha, what a pipe dream.

Ants are just ants; no matter how many there are, they can't break through an elephant's defenses.
