The Strongest Student in the Sophomore Elite Class
After watching the video of Wu Tiancheng killing the Rat King, Lin Zichen continued searching for related news.
Soon, a wanted notice for remnants of the Rat God Cult caught his eye.
The news report states that nine more members of the Rat God Cult are still at large, but the police have identified all nine individuals and made their identities public, hoping that citizens can provide clues to assist in their capture.
Rewards are offered for providing clues; depending on the importance of the clue, the reward can range from 5,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Lin Zichen glanced at the wanted posters and memorized the faces of the nine remnants of the Rat God Cult.
These nine people are walking 500,000s; their faces are worth remembering.
However, the bounty is secondary; the important thing is to protect oneself.
Knowing the appearance of the remnants of the Rat God Cult, one could recognize them immediately if accidentally encountered one, and then quickly move away to avoid danger.
Only after ensuring their own safety should they provide clues to the law enforcement authorities to receive a reward.
"Xiao Chen, aren't you up yet?"
"It's already six o'clock!"
"If you don't get up now, you'll be late for school!"
I was engrossed in watching the news when I heard Zhang Wanxin's voice from outside the door.
"Okay, I'll get up now!"
Lin Zichen responded and quickly got out of bed to get dressed.
After washing up, I went downstairs for breakfast.
About half an hour later.
Lin Zichen walked out of his house and went to school with Shen Qinghan, who was waiting for him outside.
Along the way, Shen Qinghan, unusually, didn't chat with Lin Zichen. Instead, she hummed a song softly, becoming more and more skilled and beautiful in her singing.
Lin Zichen seemed to enjoy listening to this.
He previously thought Shen Qinghan would definitely win an award in the competition at the end of December, but now he's confident Shen Qinghan 'll win the championship.
In less than ten minutes, the two entered the school gate.
As Lin Zichen walked along the school path, many people pointed at him and whispered about what happened yesterday.
He's now famous throughout the school because he announced yesterday afternoon on the school's playground stage that he would challenge the entire school.
To exaggerate a bit, even stray cats on the street and dogs owned by school teachers might recognize him.
However, the name he chose was not a good one.
In the second and third years of high school, especially the third year, apart from a few female students whose values were swayed by his looks, the vast majority of the older students disliked him.
They felt that this freshman was too arrogant and had deeply offended them, the upperclassmen.
Lin Zichen didn't care at all about the pointing and whispering on the street. He pretended not to see or hear it and just did what he wanted.
It's just that Shen Qinghan, who's with him, is suffering.
Shen Qinghan was already socially awkward at school, and as she walked along the school path, she was constantly being hurt by all the stares directed at Lin Zichen, making her afraid to lift her head and walk with her head down the whole time.
Listening to the constant gossip around her, she felt even more uncomfortable, to the point that she couldn't even walk properly, feeling awkward no matter how she moved.
Seeing her in this state, Lin Zichen felt deeply helpless.
My childhood friend is so insecure. She was always timid and submissive at school, and looked so easy to bully.
I don't know when I'll become confident.
Time quickly passed and it was noon.
The bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.
Lin Zichen didn't even eat his meal before leaving the classroom and rushing to the school gymnasium.
He had already eaten something during the break between classes.
It was a rice ball that Zhang Wanxin made for him.
It's convenient to eat, doesn't take much time, and you don't need to wash the lunchbox.
Seeing that Lin Zichen had gone to the gymnasium, Shen Qinghan hurriedly left her seat and went to her office to heat up her food so she could take it to the gymnasium to eat. She accompanied Lin Zichen throughout the challenge match.
She wanted to use her phone to capture every memorable moment of Lin Zichen, collect all the highlights of his student days, and then make a slideshow to give to him.
Meanwhile, Lin Zichen had already arrived at the stadium and stepped onto the Martial Platform.
The stadium was completely empty at that moment; not a single person could be seen.
The students have just finished class, so no one will arrive so soon.
About two or three minutes later, students began to enter the gymnasium.
These students didn't eat in the cafeteria; they just bought a bread from the school supermarket and came over specifically to watch Lin Zichen's first day of individual challenge.
There were classmates.
There were onlookers.
She has a little fangirl.
There are restless challengers.
There are also students who come simply for the prize draw.
To encourage students to participate in the challenge, the female principal included a prize for participation in the program; every student who participated in the challenge would receive a raffle ticket.
The prizes are very generous, including a variety of the latest electronic products.
"Zichen, the top student in the second- Elite Class has his eye on you. He said he's going to pin you down on the Martial Platform today and beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
Below the Martial Platform, He Yu leisurely munched on bread while mimicking the tone of the top Elite Class to relay a message to Lin Zichen, looking like a messenger eunuch stirring up trouble.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shujie sneered, "He's just a piece of trash who trained for an extra year. How dare he be compared to Lin Zichen?"
Lu Gang also said, "Those older students are like frogs in a well; they have no idea how strong Lin Zichen is."
At this moment, the two top students from Nanguan City were both on Lin Zichen's side, sharing his hatred and looking down on the top student in the second Elite Class of high school.
After experiencing several moments of shock, disbelief, and existential doubt, the two are now completely convinced of Lin Zichen's abilities and believe that Lin Zichen is the best student at Shanhai High School.
Even though Lin Zichen hasn't yet faced off against students from the Elite Class in the second and third years of high school, it doesn't stop them from being so certain.
They trusted their intuition as geniuses.
"Xiao Chen, good luck later!"
Shen Qinghan sat in a corner of the audience, holding a bowl of warmed-up food, and called out to Lin Zichen with a smile.
Li Chuxin, standing nearby, also shouted, "Zichen, good luck!"
Lin Zichen smiled and waved in response to the two of them and the rest of the class.
About ten minutes later.
The teacher who was to act as referee arrived.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen wasted no time and immediately looked at everyone below the stage and asked, "Everyone, the individual challenge can begin. Does anyone want to come up and spar?"
"I'll do it!"
As a sweet, delicate voice rang out, a girl with pigtails jumped onto the Martial Platform.
He was a student in Ordinary Class in the first year of high school, and his abilities were even weaker than Shen Qinghan's.
The main reason he went on stage to take the challenge was to have physical contact with Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen didn't give in to her just because she was a girl. In order to save time and have more sparring matches, he defeated her in less than three seconds.
Natural Selection Achievement completion progress +1!
"I'll do it!"
"It's my turn! It's my turn!"
"I'm not a problem either!"
In the following time, one after another, the female fans rushed up to get physical contact with Lin Zichen.
In less than half an hour, Lin Zichen had already defeated nearly a hundred female fans, increasing his Achievement completion progress by dozens of points.
In less than half an hour, I increased my progress by 95 points. At this rate, I feel like I can complete the Natural Selection Achievement this week...
Lin Zichen felt a slight surge of excitement.
Another half hour passed, and the female fans in the audience were almost exhausted.
At this point, the cumulative completion progress of the Natural Selection Achievement has reached 309 points!
It jumped 190 points in just one hour!
This pace of improvement far exceeds the combined progress of the past few years; the efficiency is ridiculously high.
During the challenge, some female fans, still not satisfied, wanted to try again after failing.
Lin Zichen directly refused, not accepting a second challenge from the loser.
Because of the "Natural Selection" Achievement, you have to defeat different competitors to accelerate your progress.
Are there any other challengers?
After using the young female admirer, Lin Zichen looked at the others in the audience and asked.
Yes, yes!
Someone in the audience immediately responded.
Anyone who goes on stage to take the challenge will receive a raffle ticket afterward.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and lined up to take on the challenge.
Another half hour passed, and the completion progress of the Achievement of the Natural Selection reached 419 points, almost halfway there.
Meanwhile, the total amount accumulated in the prize pool has reached 2,000 yuan.
"Is anyone else coming?"
Lin Zichen looked at the audience and asked.
By this time, all the female fans had finished filling out their forms, and all the students who wanted to draw raffle tickets had also finished.
"I'll do it!"
A senior from a top-performing class in his final year of high school leaped onto the Martial Platform. He was a two-meter-tall, muscular man who looked like a mountain.
He had his eye on the 2,000 yuan in the prize pool.
"Junior, I know you're strong, but for a freshman to challenge the entire school is incredibly arrogant. Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, the senior took off his clothes in front of everyone, revealing extremely exaggerated pectoral muscles. When he exerted force, his two large pectoral muscles bounced up and down, looking full of explosive power.
Ten seconds later.
"Bang!"
A loud crash was heard.
The muscular senior student, who had just been full of confidence, was sent flying backward off the Martial Platform.
"Next!"
After instantly defeating the muscular man, Lin Zichen immediately shouted to the audience.
However, no one went up to challenge them.
Even the senior students in the top-tier senior class were easily defeated. Seeing this, everyone knew better than to go up and humiliate themselves.
As for the raffle tickets, not everyone cares about them.
Just when Lin Zichen thought that this was the end of the day...
A sudden commotion arose from the audience.
"Yan Shaoxuan is here!"
"I didn't expect him to come all the way here to participate in the challenge. He must really dislike this freshman and want to go on stage and beat him up."
"Interesting, this is going to be good."
Most of the students who came to the stadium to watch the show were there to see Yan Shaoxuan teach Lin Zichen a lesson.
After waiting for so long, we've finally got to see the champion of the Elite Class in the second year of high school.
Who is Yan Shaoxuan?
Listening to the voices from below the stage, and following everyone's gaze to a boy walking towards the Martial Platform from a distance, Lin Zichen couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Thinking about it, he turned to look at He Yu, who was well-informed, in the audience.
Seeing the curious look on his face, He Yu knew what he wanted to ask and immediately introduced him, "Yan Shaoxuan is the top student in the second- Elite Class I told you about before. I heard he can lift a 560-kilogram barbell with one hand, and he can sprint 100 meters in just 6.38 seconds. His overall strength ranks among the top five in the entire school."
Lin Zichen nodded after hearing this, his heart unmoved.
Just then, a tall, slender figure leaped out from the crowd!
The jump height was nearly 4 meters!
Then, like a god descending to earth, he landed on the Martial Platform with a "thud"!
P. S.: I'm setting up the bowls, please vote with your monthly tickets and recommendations!
