?Chapter 36: Chapter 34 We’ll Talk About It Once You Pass, The Opening of the Martial Arts Grand Exam Chapter 36: Chapter 34 We’ll Talk About It Once You Pass, The Opening of the Martial Arts Grand Exam Xue Rui didn’t dodge this time, her palm caught in Chu Feng’s hand as she sighed softly:
“Xiao Feng, is it possible that what you feel for me is just a delusion of familial affection?”
Chu Feng pondered for a moment, then laughed loudly under Xue Rui’s soft gaze, “All I know is that I want to be with you forever.
“I hope this sentiment exists forever, instead of regretting only after it’s lost.”
Touching the tenderness in his hand, he whispered, “What kind of familial love could possess such a strong desire to monopolize?”
Xue Rui opened her mouth but then slowly closed it again.
“Something you want to say?” asked Chu Feng.
Suddenly, Xue Rui flashed a mischievous smile, “I wanted to say you’re still young, and you don’t understand feelings.
“But then again, with beautiful girls confessing to Xiao Feng, you’re not so little anymore, you’ve grown up!”
She lifted her hand to stroke Chu Feng’s head, but contrary to her expectations, he rubbed against her affectionately, making her somewhat embarrassed.
It made them seem like a couple caressing each other with affection.
Looking at the shy girl before him, Chu Feng smiled, “You’re pretty well-informed. Erbao must have been wagging his tongue.
“Jealous? I rejected her harshly just for you.
“Now the whole school is spreading rumors that I recklessly abandoned her, my reputation is ruined.”
Xue Rui glared at him, pulling her hand back, “What do you mean ‘for me’? Don’t talk nonsense.
“With your ‘figure,’ you will meet many beautiful women in the future. What am I, an old woman, to you?”
Chu Feng chuckled, “It’s all for you. Is there anyone in this world more beautiful, tender, and kind than you? My eyes see only you.
“I would take just a gourd from a river of weak water, having you is enough for a thousand lifetimes.”
Xue Rui scratched her arm, “Yuck, I’m getting goosebumps all over. Where did you learn all these honeyed words?
“You must have practiced a lot on other girls.”
Chu Feng scratched his head, earnestly saying, “These are words I thought of wanting to say to you.
“Initially, it was just simple stuff like ‘I like you,’ ‘I love you,’ and the like. Then I wanted to say more and more, and later, less and less.
“Now, there’s only one thing left to say—”
He looked at Xue Rui’s shy and dodging eyes, smiled warmly, but his words were assertive, “Be with me.”
Xue Rui touched her hot cheek with her cool small hand to cool it down, “Wait a second, you’ve flustered me…”
“What’s there to be flustered about? Come on, agree, and let’s go back and eat…”
“You wait! Agree to what?” Xue Rui burst out laughing, “Be together, my foot. I’m a third-year student, how can I be with a high school student like you?”
Chu Feng proudly smiled, “Wherever you are, I’ll go there. Whatever school you’re at, I’ll try to get admitted there. You think you can escape me?”
Xue Rui rolled her eyes, “Yan Capital University, you’re that confident?”
Chu Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. Yan Capital University? One of the top three elite academies?
He had forgotten—Xue Rui actually got into the most prestigious university in the Longhua District!
‘How do I deal with this, it totally goes against my plans!’
Chu Feng rolled his eyes internally. What happened to the promise of lying low as a lazy fish, not stepping onto the battlefield?
How could he just give up on his dreams?
But looking at Xue Rui’s fluttering, seductive, big eyes filled with a trace of expectation:
Her enchanting face, curvaceous figure, and the sweet, tender scent of a mature lady made Chu Feng’s heart melt.
‘For future happiness, why not give it a try…?
‘Getting into a good university won’t stop me from being a lazy fish.
‘Even graduate and doctoral students deliver takeout; can’t I shed this robe off my back?’
Thus, Chu Feng’s mouth quirked upwards, revealing a Dragon King’s confident smile, “It should be a cinch.”
Xue Rui suddenly also smirked playfully, “Well then—let’s talk about it when you get admitted!”
With that, she burst into bright laughter and ran off toward the setting sun, coquettishly.
Chu Feng stretched his long legs to catch up, shouting joyfully behind her, “I’ll take that as a yes, the deal is set!”
“Let’s talk about it when you get admitted!”
Against the gleaming golden sunset, the girl’s graceful figure and her bell-like laughter deeply engraved themselves in Chu Feng’s heart.
…
The next morning, the Martial Arts Field.
The space, as large as two soccer fields, was swarming with people, with the graduating class students scattered around nine huge stages.
Some were full of confidence, others panicked, displaying a multitude of human conditions.
The stages were one and a half meters high, built entirely of gray special stones with a stone fence surrounding them.
They were very sturdy; even someone at the Foundation Establishment level would hardly damage them, and a Martial Apprentice could barely leave a mark.
The students from the other two grades gathered around the Martial Arts Field.
They looked on with aspiration at their seniors in the center facing their trial, imagining themselves dominating the field in future exams.
To the north of the Martial Arts Field was a principal stage covered with a white canopy, which featured a huge electronic screen embedded on top.
Flashing on it was a line of bold text, “Ninghe City’s First Middle School Martial Arts Grand Exam”!
Two rows of mahogany desks and chairs were set up on the principal stage, all unoccupied.
Below the stage, there were two rows of over twenty white testing booths set up overnight to measure the students’ physical data.
The collected data, besides being connected to the First Middle School’s database, was also directly sent to the Academy Alliance database in the Eastern Region.
This was to avoid leaking privacy, favoritism, and data manipulation.
Red flags, each bearing a gold dragon-shaped emblem of Longhua District, fluttered victoriously on the walls of the Martial Arts Field.
At this moment, the walls were lined with eager parents peering down at their children in the center.
Teachers patrolled below the walls to prevent these excited parents from disrupting the order of the exam.
…
By now, the atmosphere in the field had turned solemn; everyone was busily preparing for their own, assessing those around them.
Now, each person could be someone else’s opponent.
Only by defeating an opponent could they stand out!
Chu Feng stood in the center, his hands clasped around the hilt of his Tang Sword, resting against the sword as he closed his eyes to conserve energy.
The Tang Sword, long nurtured, would today unsheathe and shine brilliantly across Dragonhuayu Nine Provinces!
Just then, a stout young man burst through the crowd and confronted Chu Feng with gritted teeth:
“Mad Dog Chu, what the hell did you do to my sister yesterday!
“Why did she suddenly become a fool last night, sitting there and giggling for no reason!”
With his eyes still closed, Chu Feng chuckled softly, “Erbao, today everyone is an opponent. Let’s not talk about romantic affairs,
“Want to know? Beat me!”
Wang Erbao gritted his teeth audibly, his hand slowly moving to the hilt of his sword at his waist.
At that moment, the crowd in the field suddenly surged; someone whispered in awe, “They are here! The representatives of those powers, they have all arrived!”
Chu Feng abruptly opened his eyes, shooting a sharp, tangible glare that made Wang Erbao and those watching shiver!
He turned his head towards the south.
He saw a group of over ten people flying side by side, soaring over the Martial Arts Field.
They carried with them a formidable aura that quieted the already noisy crowd once more.
The ten people flew to the principal stage and settled down slowly.
By now, the teachers in charge of the various classes were organizing the students into lines, preparing for the exam.
…
On the principal stage, the central figure was an elderly man with youthful features named He Guanshan, representing the Academy Alliance.
As the host, he was presiding over the annual Martial Arts Grand Exam.
Sitting to his left was Luo Yong, the principal of First Middle School, and to his right was Che Yongyuan, a Level 2 Researcher from the Strategic Research Institute of the Academy Alliance in the Eastern Region.
The other figures were representatives sent by the Exorcist Forces, major corporations, and Noble Families of Longhua District, among other top powers.
Their mission was to select undiscovered talents for their respective forces behind them, to invest in, and recruit them.
The forces they represented had in-depth cooperation with the Academy Alliance and controlled some college admission guarantees.
They could use these guarantees to attract outstanding young talents, signing agreements with them to send them to prestigious universities.
Therefore, these representatives were very popular, and the burning gazes of most students in the field were focused on them.
