Chapter 240: Are You Surprised?
The students were dumbfounded, and so were the teachers in charge of the registration, as well as the cameramen. Even Yu Zhen herself was dumbfounded.
Yes, Yu Zhen didn’t look at Liu Chang in the eye because, deep down, she simply looked down on Liu Chang. When she detected the hostility and the surging Star Power coming from Liu Chang, she humphed coldly and gave Liu Chang the side-eye.
Yu Zhen stood rooted to the ground with a cold expression on her face. She still looked rather arrogant and didn’t take Liu Chang seriously.
Yu Zhen was probably thinking to herself, What’s the matter? Do you dare to touch me? What a joke. You wouldn’t dare to even if I lent you some of my guts!
However, there are still such reckless guys in this world. Uh... I mean, reckless girls.
Liu Chang followed her team to the ballroom and a fireball condensed in her hand.
Yu Zhen sneered with a look of derision and did not hide or retreat at all. She looked absolutely domineering and had already deduced deep down that the small fry in her eyes, Liu Chang, wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.
The two of them made eye contact with each other and were about to walk past each other.
At this moment, Liu Chang flew into a rage!
Yes, Liu Chang slapped the Bursting Flames fireball onto Yu Zhen’s arrogant face.
Yu Zhen was really affected by the fireball because it was launched at close-range and Liu Chang’s actions were truly unexpected.
Bang!
The haughty and arrogant expression on Yu Zhen’s face vanished and she was blown away by the Bursting Flames fireball...
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
She, she attacked?
Right in the registration hall?
Launching attacks on Earth? She’ll have to bear the legal responsibilities!
However, the exasperated Liu Chang whose eyes were blazing couldn’t be bothered anymore. The more she looked at the arrogant and contemptuous Yu Zhen, the more infuriated she got. Ignoring all the legal consequences that she would probably have to bear, she decided to vent her anger first!
Liu Chang was delighted to have vented her frustration and she was feeling extremely pleased while the security officers dragged her away.
Xing Lang was dumbfounded. We have yet to even register our names for the competition and we’ve already lost one member? What are we supposed to do for the competition?
Zhang Mingming from Jiangbin High School No. 3 was also dumbfounded. He thought that Liu Chang was merely being helplessly angry and pretending to be intimidating. He thought, Hah, could you possibly go against the rules? Don’t you want to compete anymore? You’re not going to register your name anymore? Do you want to be sent to the police station?
In the end, he found that there were really such angst people in the world, who would never hesitate to slap someone they wanted, without consideration for the consequences. They would do it immediately, as soon as they wanted to!
Jiangbin High School No. 3 had yet to even report and register their names, but Yu Zhen had already been blasted away by Liu Chang, causing her to end up in the hospital...
Zhang Hui and Zheng Jiang were rather dumbfounded too. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?
Jiang Xiao was incredibly thrilled and he thought, What kind of a godly move is this?
He initially thought that Liu Chang had come all the way to Jiacheng from Jiangbin City via a two-and-a-half-hour train ride because of the competition. However, he didn’t expect her agenda to be to hurry from one venue to the other...
Logically speaking, it should have been chaotic in the ballroom after such an incident.
However, in fact, things were rather orderly because everyone was shell-shocked right from the beginning.
Even after Liu Chang was arrested and Yu Zhen was brought away, some people had yet to recover from the shock.
“She’s... she’s so angst, eh?” remarked Mr. Zhou, the teacher in charge of registration, as he pushed up the glasses sitting on his nose bridge. He had no idea what feud there was between the two of them, but he discovered that Liu Chang had been glowering at Yu Zhen, who gave Liu Chang the side-eye, after which the incident happened.
Mr. Zhou muttered to himself with a look of astonishment, “Do kids nowadays skip the basic verbal confrontation and go straight to attacking?”
Unable to contain her amusement, Xia Yan burst into laughter when she walked towards the registration desk and heard Mr. Zhou murmuring to himself.
Han Jiangxue frowned and patted her arm lightly, after which she stopped smiling and began the registration process.
While registering Xia Yan’s name, Mr. Zhou yelled at the students in the ballroom, “Those who haven’t signed up, hurry up and do so! Don’t end up being blasted to the hospital before you’ve even registered your name! Hurry up and move quickly!”
How heartbreaking!
Jiang Xiao felt that Zhang Mingming, the commander of Jiangbing High School No. 3, should be clutching his chest.
Mr. Zhou continued, “Students, lower your heads, lest you make eye contact with each other.”
That’s another shot!
Jiang Xiao was incredibly thrilled. You’re just the teacher in charge of registration. Why do you have to be so callous with your remarks?
Is he doing it on purpose?
Xia Yan guffawed uncontrollably because she couldn’t control herself.
“This student here, please be serious and stop laughing!” Mr. Zhou smacked his hand against the table and glared at her in displeasure.
Xia Yan stopped laughing abruptly, lowered her head, frowned slightly, and looked at Mr. Zhou. Very few people would chide her in such a manner. Her classmates, teachers, and father, Xia Shanhai, would speak to her cordially and politely. Even Han Jiangxue would only be allowed to chide her a little.
Mr. Zhou hurriedly lowered his head and muttered, “I’m an ordinary person and I’m just here to facilitate the registration. I’m not going to look, I’m not looking at anything...”
Xia Yan was dumbfounded.
Has this guy developed paranoia?
Am I that terrifying?
I’m an absolute beauty of the century. Why do I seem like a great scourge to you?
Xia Yan rubbed her short and wavy chestnut-colored hair while feeling frustrated.
Oh dear, he has developed a prejudice.
Liu Chang only attacked Yu Zhen because they had a major feud between them! It’s not because of the eye contact that they made!
We, Awakened students, are not all that angst and irritable!
I’m very gentle.
Xia Yan thought to herself.
Unfortunately, no one could hear Xia Yan’s thoughts, and after signing up, her team hurriedly left the registering venue.
The team of Jiangbin High School had indeed become the target of public criticism. One of the teams came in first place in the provincial league, while the other caused an explosion right after they entered. An incident cropped up before the previous matters were resolved. Those wanting to watch a good show were all given a feast for the eyes.
Jiang Xiao and the rest bore in mind their purpose of coming here and avoided getting into any conflicts with the other teams. Instead, they behaved themselves and returned to the room properly.
The instructions were written clearly in the itinerary sheet given to them after the registration. The students would have to assemble at the entrance of the hotel at 7 am the following morning, after which they would be sent to the examination venue by a chartered vehicle.
Clearly, the competition details were kept confidential. There was only a day left before the competition began and the students still didn’t know where the examination venue was.
However, the venue was very likely to be in the volcanic Dimensional Space that had just emerged on Earth since it was called the “Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition”.
That night, the team of four gathered in the room that Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue were sharing to discuss their tactics and strategies.
Due to the fact that it was a Wasteland Reclamation Competition, Jiang Xiao put forth an interesting suggestion. He suggested that they split up.
The team consisted of four people in the first place, and according to Jiang Xiao’s suggestion, they ought to split up into pairs, with each pair going in a different direction from the other. Within the time limit, they would be able to draw a more detailed map that would cover a greater area.
Since the students were prohibited from fighting during the competition, the enemies they would have to face had become the creatures of other dimensions.
There were no Brass Quality creatures in the volcanic Dimensional Space.
Given their current strengths, splitting up into pairs was somewhat operative.
Everyone quickly agreed to his suggestion.
Li Weiyi was slightly worried, but under Jiang Xiao’s persuasion, he finally agreed to the suggestion as well.
However, there were differing opinions when they were splitting up.
Xia Yan wanted to be paired with Han Jiangxue because the idea of being able to explore the new Dimensional Space with her alone seemed beautiful and appealing to her.
Han Jiangxue also wanted to be paired with her. Of course, she had that idea because no one else could control the crazy Xia Yan. Han Jiangxue was very afraid of Xia Yan acting rashly and ruining things because of her impulsive behavior.
However, Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue were considered two points of output. Hence, they had to split up to lead a group each.
So, should Xia Yan be paired up with Jiang Xiao or Li Weiyi?
Li Weiyi really couldn’t control Xia Yan. When they were together, Xia Yan would definitely be in control of the situation and Li Weiyi would have to follow her orders. If they were to really pair up, Xia Yan would probably lead Li Weiyi astray.
If Xia Yan were to pair up with Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao would at least still be able to “persuade” her with Blessing...
Han Jiangxue thought about it over and over again and finally resisted the urge to be with Jiang Xiao. She then kicked Xia Yan to Jiang Xiao.
To be honest, although Jiang Xiao seemed mischievous on the surface, he would often be the most reliable person during critical junctures. Hence, Han Jiangxue decided to let Xia Yan pair up with him.
Upon receiving the order, Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao looked at each other and blinked like preschoolers.
Under the stern gaze of the obstinate and domineering Han Jiangxue, Jiang Xiaopi and the cowardly Xia Yan immediately stated that they would help each other, stay democratic, civilized, harmonious, and strive for freedom and equality...
