Chapter 53: The Real Test: Courage and Wisdom (13)

"Just as I thought!"

When Vice Dean Pei suddenly announced that the assessment was over, Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised that he would go this far, but not overly so.

From the very beginning, he had guessed that the final stage would not merely test strength.

If that were all, they should have used a points-based competition to determine the top twenty-five, or divided them into two age groups for separate points-based matches. Either way, the final results would certainly have been more reliable than this flashy platform format.

Of course, there was always the possibility that it was all just a deliberate smokescreen, but based on Lin Xuan's judgment of Vice Dean Pei, the man was not that bored.

Thus, after only a brief moment of thought, Lin Xuan made a seemingly foolish decision—he became one of the first to claim a platform.

Not only that, he reminded Xing Yan to claim one as soon as possible as well.

Although Xing Yan did not understand why, he ultimately did as he was told.

If Lin Xuan had anticipated this and was not too surprised, then Xing Yan's shock was no less than that of everyone below the platforms.

Like them, he had never expected this situation. He had claimed a platform early only because he followed Lin Xuan's advice.

If I hadn't gone up first, would I have been waiting for the so-called best opportunity too?

Watching the impassioned candidates below, Xing Yan felt fortunate and deeply grateful to Lin Xuan.

Knowing himself, he could not guarantee that he would not have been like some of the candidates below, who had not even found the chance to challenge anyone and had kept waiting for a more suitable moment to act.
