Chapter Twelve, Selection

  The principal looked at these neatly lined up children and said faintly, "Don't think that you have officially joined Shenfeng Academy just by arriving here. In a while, some of you may be eliminated."

  The children were chatting and laughing, when suddenly the principal's face turned stern, a sense of oppression swept over them, as if a great mountain was pressing down on them, their small faces turned pale, unable to speak.

  The principal said calmly, "Don't make any sudden moves. Whoever can't stand still and falls down will be eliminated."

  Five teachers next to him were also quietly watching, while Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head, "This kid really gave that child a break".

  He said, looking at Bai Yu's slightly relaxed expression, then gazing at Ye Feng who was gritting his teeth not far away.

  "Please don't disappoint me..."

  Actually, the principal also made some adjustments to this pressure based on the physical condition of these children, and when it came to Bai Yu, for some reason (what reason?) he relaxed a bit by bending the rules.

  Five teachers also unfolded profound discussions at this time.

  "Alright, alright! Place your bets! Guess how many can make it through! Ten blue crystals per person! The closest one gets twenty blue crystals!"

  Here's a brief introduction to the Blue Crystal Coin, which is one of the currencies in this world and is widely accepted across all nations. There are three types: White Crystal Coin, Blue Crystal Coin, and Purple Crystal Coin, each containing a hint of energy. One Purple Crystal Coin is equivalent to 100 Blue Crystal Coins, which is equivalent to 10,000 White Crystal Coins. Ten Blue Crystal Coins roughly equal the average monthly income of an ordinary family.

  A tattered and worn-out Lei Ao lazily looked at an old man who was dancing with abandon, and said listlessly, "Old Qian, stop messing around."

  The old man flared up upon hearing this, "You impudent whippersnapper! At the very least you should address me as Uncle Qian!"

  The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Alright Uncle Qian, don't be angry. I'll press down on ten people. Tian Gu, will you press down or not?"

  That middle-aged man with a cold expression quietly wiped his knife, occasionally raising his head to glance at those children, and said indifferently, "Not interested."

  And beside him, that relatively gentle-looking young man spoke up, "I also owe ten people, everyone owes ten people, let's see how Old Qian loses with the same numbers!"

  The old man who was originally smiling and waiting to receive the money suddenly became stunned, and randomly scolded loudly, "Ancient people are indeed not deceiving me! It turns out that this young white face has no good intentions! I've seen through you..."

  At this time, Lei Ao smiled and handed over ten blue crystal coins. "You're not called Qian Duoduo, are you? Look at how much money you have in a while, and then continue."

  A sixty-year-old man is actually called this name

  The old man sighed and thought to himself, "I'll just default on the debt! I won't give it to you!"

  At this time, Lin Xiao walked over and handed over ten blue crystal coins...

  The old man was shocked, "Lord Lin, you're here too!"

  Lin Xiao's tone was playful as he said, "Ling Feng says you have a bad habit of welching on bets and is afraid you'll renege on the debt. He wants me to help stir things up." As he spoke, he glanced at the slender man with an air of mystery about him.

  The old man was furious, this time he couldn't shirk the blame. Lin Xiao couldn't be messed with! He glared angrily at the slender man, "Ling Feng! I've got you remembered!"

  "Thanks, but remember I'm useless, just remember to give me money is fine"

  The old man was indignant and shouted, "You're bullying an old man!"

  ……

  Just as the teachers were making a big fuss, several children had already fallen down, leaving only over ten still struggling. Among them, Chu Baitian was the most eye-catching, his expression hadn't changed at all, but the footprints under his feet were getting deeper and deeper... Tian Gu, who was wiping his knife, noticed this and looked at Chu Baitian with admiration, "This child has a strong and resilient temperament, he is a talent to be cultivated."

  Yexing's face was beet red, his body swaying unsteadily, as if a gentle breeze could knock him over, yet he still struggled to stand upright. It wasn't that Yexing was so weak, but rather the principal had intentionally increased the pressure to nearly first-class warrior level because he saw Yexing as Lin Xiao's chosen person!

  Although his complexion was getting worse and worse, his body was becoming more and more stable. Although the progress was very small, it couldn't be seen if one didn't look carefully...

  This little action naturally couldn't escape Lin Xiao's notice, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head. "A greedy wolf will become stronger when encountering a strong opponent! Han Yu, you really don't understand the greedy wolf."

  Worth mentioning is Xu Jian, the young master of the Xu family. Although he's not as outstanding as Chu Ba Tian, he's also very calm and composed, his footsteps never faltering. Of course, this is the Xu family we're talking about - how could the head of the Xu family not know the requirements for selecting students at Shen Feng Academy? Therefore, special training was arranged for Xu Jian in these aspects, otherwise, even if the principal were to look favorably on him and keep him, it would still be a matter of face. Not passing isn't necessarily because he's inferior to others! Face is still very important after all.

  The principal looked around and found that there were only nine children left, six boys and three girls.

  He nodded slightly, and the oppressive atmosphere dissipated. The children suddenly felt a weight lift off their shoulders, and they couldn't help but look around in confusion. Even Chu Ba Tian couldn't avoid stumbling slightly.

  Ye Feng directly stumbled and almost fell over.

  The principal looked at these children and said, "Not bad, you can stay temporarily. As for them...", he glanced at the children who fell to the ground, "Eliminated!"

  "Lei Ao! Take them back!"

  "Me again! Me again!... Old Qian, you go! I don't care about my share of the money anymore!"

  He said with a backward lean and fell motionless on the beach.

  The old man heard it and thought it was a good thing, he could get some back, so he ran towards that direction like the wind.

  "I don't accept it!" At this time, when those eliminated children were discussing in dismay, a child sitting on the ground said so. The principal looked at him, "All nine of them held on, you didn't hold on, what's not acceptable?"

  That child turned his head away in a huff, "I won't accept it! My dad is the lord of Blue Ice City, do you dare to eliminate me?"

  The principal was taken aback and laughed, "So young and already learning how to cheat?"

  As he spoke, a figure flashed by, and on the round little face of that boy, a clear palm print appeared. "Little rabbit! Your father doesn't even dare to speak to me like this!" He didn't bother with him anymore, turned around, and instructed the beautiful woman, "Ling sister, take care of these nine children, rest here tonight, I'll go out for a trip."

  After finishing speaking, the child was stunned and reacted randomly. He glared at the principal fiercely and said "You wait for me", but suddenly felt Old Qian's sharp gaze and was too scared to speak.

  Yexing let out a sigh of relief, finally made it!
