Chương 7: Early Admission

As the meeting concluded, Lin Shuxuan noticed that Jiang Yu's table was covered with breakfast snacks and small gifts.

Many people gathered around him, talking and discussing, forming what appeared to be a small circle.

Recently, Jiang Yu has become very popular in the class.

Indeed, Jiang Yu is handsome, excels in both academics and martial arts, and is said to come from a well-off family, but he shouldn't be this popular.

Lin Shuxuan was a little envious.

But upon closer examination, it makes sense. The other party is a promising student who is likely to be admitted to the Federal Military University. The words "bright future" are practically welded to their foreheads.

I also want to be flattered by pretty female classmates... Lin Shuxuan turned the back of his head to Bai Shasha, afraid that his eyes would reveal something.

"Are you envious of Jiang Yu?"

As if she could read his mind, Bai Shasha reached out to his shoulder like a kitten.

Lin Shuxuan composed himself, turned around, and said sincerely: He should be envious of me.

Bai Shasha covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

She sat by the window, sunlight falling on the girl's soft, delicate shoulders and neck, exuding youthful energy.

"It's because of the Shinkai Martial Arts Tournament. Jiang Yu got one of the five spots for our high school to participate."

Martial arts competition... Lin Shuxuan automatically imagined the school arena from a martial arts novel from his previous life.

Isn't this kind of competition just for the protagonist to show off in front of others? Jiang Yu hasn't even won yet, so why is he already showing off in front of others?

"It's a team competition. Even if we don't win a prize, the experience is still worth more than an extracurricular activity."

Lin Shuxuan was familiar with extracurricular activities. Unlike distributing flyers and conducting surveys in his previous life, the extracurricular activities for martial arts students in this world required frontline experience.

Ordinary high school students without connections or backgrounds are no different from ordinary soldiers on the front lines, facing a life-or-death situation.

For this reason, extracurricular activities are a big plus in the martial arts university interview.

It can basically elevate the level of the martial arts university you apply to by one grade.

No wonder Jiang Yu has so many sycophants; Lin Shuxuan felt that the pure friendship between classmates had been tainted by money.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If there was a chance in a previous life to turn a second-tier university into a first-tier university, and a first-tier university into a 211 university, parents would probably fight tooth and nail for it.

"The winners can directly enroll in the Federal Military University, and even liberal arts majors can apply."

Brother Jiang Yu, do you need another simp? I feel like I could be one too... Lin Shuxuan tried his best to keep the friendship between classmates within a normal range.

"Does Brother Shuxuan want to go? Someone has a friend participating in the competition, and there are still spots available in half a month before the competition starts."

Bai Shasha's tone was languid yet alluring. She leaned against her arm and lay in the sunlight, like an elegant kitten.

"Some liberal arts universities also give extra credit for practical experience. Having such a competition can enhance your resume."

She became more and more excited as she talked, clapping her hands lightly.

"When I apply to study at the Federal University, I can go to school with everyone again♪" Lin Shuxuan keenly grasped the timing.

More than half a month means that the "opening" measure cannot take effect.

The fact that liberal arts students could also participate in martial arts competitions appealed to him, as it meant he could directly try to enroll in the Federal Military University without having to switch to martial arts.

The only problem is that there isn't enough time.

Unable to obtain the benefits of [Open Shop] If it's just about gaining prestige, there's no point in him participating in this competition. After all, twenty years of martial arts training is enough to get him into the Federal Military University.

On the contrary, you will incur favors.

On the other hand...

Bai Shasha's help wasn't free.

The gifts of fate come with a hidden price tag.

Already!

He felt like he was becoming part of Bai Shasha's harem.

"Is Jiang Yu strong enough to achieve a ranking in the martial arts competition?"

Lin Shuxuan changed the subject.

He occasionally saw Jiang Yu sparring with his classmates during physical education class, and they usually won with a single move. Without comparison, he had no concept of the ranking of martial arts students' strength.

Bai Shasha gently pinched her fair earlobe with her fingers, feigning a thoughtful frown.

"It's unlikely. The winner of the competition can be directly admitted to the Federal Military Academy as a seed student and will enjoy special privileges within the military academy."

"In previous years, the top spots were basically taken by people from major corporations and families. Jiang Yu is very strong, but compared to the top group of people in Xinhai City..."

"Still a little short."

It turns out it was an early admission batch...

Lin Shuxuan gained a new understanding of this competition. He thought that the joint entrance examination was the starting line for everyone, but he did not expect that some people had already jumped the gun.

As a liberal arts student, he didn't even know there was such a competition beforehand and almost missed it.

The wealthy people who are built up... Hearing Bai Shasha extend an olive branch, Lin Shuxuan felt a sense of powerlessness.

Opportunities that ordinary players fight tooth and nail for are readily available in high society.

He could indeed become the strongest high school student in Xinhai City by relying on his twenty years of cultivation in "Open Style".

But they simply won't play along with you.

The real prodigies have already entered the university through the early admission process; the most lucrative opportunities have already been divided up by the powerful families with tacit agreement, and he can only pick up scraps by taking the joint entrance exam.

And this is just the beginning.

As time goes by, twenty years of martial arts training will become less and less competitive.

Can he really defeat those geniuses who treat rare and precious treasures like candy?

"Hey, Lin Shuxuan, wanna go have lunch together later?"

Martial artists are sharp-eyed and keen-eared; perhaps because he had been watching closely and was noticed, Jiang Yu greeted him warmly.

Before Lin Shuxuan could refuse, Bai Shasha leaned on his shoulder and said with a grin:

"No, I have an appointment with Brother Shuxuan."

"I see... okay."

Lin Shuxuan bowed and apologized.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

Bai Shasha added with a smile.

"That's just a polite way of saying it. Brother Shuxuan always wants to be with people."

Hagibis... you really have high EQ... Lin Shuxuan laughed until his veins bulged as Jiang Yu looked on in bewilderment.
