Chapter 330: Modifying the Rules for Mingxi

“Tide Beast High School’s Mingxi, a Three-Star Throne student, possesses physical strength far exceeding her peers, and willpower and perseverance far beyond ordinary people.”

“She has excellent combat and battle capabilities, capable of fully utilizing her pet beast’s combat power, leveraging strengths while avoiding weaknesses, turning disadvantages into advantages. Furthermore, she has unique insights in pet beast cultivation...”

Zhang Ruoruo’s clear and powerful voice echoed in the ears of all students and instructors present.

However, the more everyone listened, the more shocked they became.

In just one short week, they had already come to fully understand Mingxi’s excellence.

But only now, hearing the base instructors’ evaluations of her, did they truly realize the gap between Mingxi and themselves.

Listen to this.

Many of them only received a couple of simple evaluations, but she got a whole string, a whole string of them.

And it wasn’t even over yet!

Zhang Ruoruo indeed hadn't finished. She continued:

“In one week, student Mingxi completed a total of 47 defensive battles, with not a single loss.”

Zhang Ruoruo suddenly smiled, her gaze subtly sweeping over some of the special training instructors whose expressions had turned ugly.

“She proactively challenged 36 special training instructors.”

“Not a single loss!”

“She perfectly completed the doubled tasks assigned by her exclusive instructor, demonstrating both wisdom and courage, neither arrogant nor disheartened.”

“Student Mingxi, overall assessment: Excellent!”

Upon hearing Zhang Ruoruo’s final words, the instructors who knew the truth were fine.

But the students who were unaware of Mingxi’s audacious actions, and had secretly grumbled about her being timid and cowardly, were collectively dumbfounded.

For a moment, the entire platform fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All the students looked at Mingxi with shocked eyes, as if she were some kind of monster.

“Challenged 36 instructors? When did that happen?”

“Who knows? Anyway, I’ve never seen it.”

“It’s one thing to have no losses in defensive battles, but to even achieve a perfect winning record against challenging instructors? We’re all human, so why is she so outstanding?”

“This is impossible! Not a single one of us has seen her challenge an instructor! Is there a problem?”

“Brother, you’re not suspecting the instructors of lying, are you? What would they gain? Could Mingxi possibly have the ability to bribe so many instructors?”

The one who raised the question was a student from Bei Yi Vocational High School, precisely Zhang Wu, who, despite being a Two-Star student, had been deemed unqualified.

Being eliminated despite being a Two-Star student, his already gloomy expression was now even uglier than a mashed eggplant.

Because of unwillingness.

And even more so, because of jealousy.

He finally couldn’t hold back and stood in the crowd, questioning Zhang Ruoruo:

“Instructor Zhang, Mingxi clearly has never participated in a Throne free-for-all, so where did this ‘challenging 36 instructors’ come from?

I think we need the truth!”

As soon as he spoke, other Bei Yi students loudly echoed him.

“That’s right, we need the truth!”

The few of them adopted the attitude of righteous crusaders.

The emotions were well-incited, and students ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) also facing elimination began to join in the commotion.

After all, the worst outcome was elimination; they couldn't get any worse.

They might as well join the fun.

Zhang Ruoruo knew someone would eventually jump out.

As expected!

Bei Yi was still Bei Yi after all.

Although Bei Yi’s promotional strategy seemed a bit chuunibyo, in reality, Bei Yi Vocational High School’s method of cultivating students was somewhat similar to how ancient aristocratic families cultivated their loyal retainers.

The school provided students with ample resources,

establishing in their hearts the image of Bei Yi as powerful and unapproachable, making them feel a strong sense of attachment to Bei Yi.

Then, they continuously built up their absolute loyalty to Bei Yi.

Finally, it was survival of the fittest!

Students cultivated in this manner, regardless of their quality, were beneficial to the school.

After all, they were highly cohesive and loyal.

But to outsiders, many of them were arrogant and proud, unable to accept criticism from others, and even less able to accept the existence of someone stronger than themselves.

In short, they were kidnapped by the mindset of ‘Bei Yi is number one in the world.’

And this group of people was also considered failures by Bei Yi.

Because they didn't need people with weak wills.

Could it be said that Bei Yi’s faculty and staff were PUAing students?

Not exactly.

It could only be said that Bei Yi’s educational policy was overly self-serving; they weren't truly educating, but rather cultivating the talent they needed.

Zhang Ruoruo had no issues with Bei Yi, she just felt a bit of sympathy for these failures.

Yes.

The Bei Yi students sent to the Joint Training Camp were, in fact, all ‘carefully selected’ failures from Bei Yi.

Including Ye Xuanwu, who was known as Bei Yi’s top individual.

It could be said that entering the Joint Training Camp was the last chance the school gave them.

Unless one of them could become a Throne student, their future prospects were already determined.

“The truth is often cruel, sigh.”

Zhang Ruoruo shook her head and sighed, not looking at these children who were completely unaware of the reality.

Instead, she looked at Instructor Luo Yang among the special training instructors:

“Instructor Luo, your school’s students want to confirm if Mingxi really participated in 36 Throne free-for-alls. What do you say?”

Luo Yang’s head instantly turned as black as a large lump of coal.

Of course he knew what Zhang Ruoruo meant!

All battles conducted at the base had recordings.

If he were as foolish as Zhang Wu and the others, public execution would await him!

He was the first person Mingxi challenged!

Thinking of his disheveled state that day.

And the miserable sight of even his Ghost Face Vicious Bear being utterly defeated.

Luo Yang’s expression was so cold it could drip ink.

He glared at Zhang Wu and the others, “You have no ability yourselves, yet you have the nerve to suspect others? Do General Instructor and the others need to fool you with such things? Idiots!”

As a Bei Yi instructor, he was also aware that this group of students had already narrowed their path.

Luo Yang’s attitude already explained everything.

Zhang Wu and the others instantly turned pale.

And everyone else also realized that what Zhang Ruoruo said was indeed the truth.

“...So Mingxi really challenged 36 instructors? And won all of them?”

“It makes sense if you think about it. How could the instructors lie?”

“But this is too incredible! And when did she even conduct these challenges?”

Having kept everyone in suspense, Zhang Ruoruo then continued: “Mingxi conducts her free-for-alls around 12 AM every night. If you’re interested, you can stay up tonight to watch.”

“So it was at midnight!”

“No wonder no one knew!”

“No way? Every night? Do geniuses not need to sleep?”

The students finally understood why none of them knew that Mingxi had participated in Throne free-for-alls.

To ensure their energy for the next day, each of them usually returned to their balloon houses to rest before 11 PM.

Since Mingxi herself didn’t mention it, and the instructors didn’t say anything, none of the students naturally knew about it.

“Given the significant disparity between student Mingxi’s strength and that of other students.”

The students: ...

The way she said that, do the rest of us students not have any pride?

“After discussion by all our base instructors, we have decided to modify the rules of the High-Ranking Competition.”

Hearing this, Mingxi and the other students were stunned.

Modify the rules?
