Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 406 - 401: Preliminary Round (Part 9)

The competition venue changed due to project changes.

No one knew where the organizers pressed, but the regular football field from the last match suddenly ascended into the air.

It revealed a giant enclosed rectangle below.

Calling it a rectangle isn’t quite accurate; it should be a giant square cabin, with each compartnt partitioned into rooms of equal size.

Each room corresponds to different testing challenges.

The four competitors need to enter from the four entrance directions of the cabin to start the competition.

The large screens on both sides of the stadium were split into two small screens, each corresponding to a contestant.

The left screen is for the physical competition, while the right is for the spiritual power competition.

Audiences can clearly see the situation of each contestant’s competition.

"Wow! The city stadium is amazing. First ti discovering there are rooms under the football field? Aweso!"

"Is this so kind of obstacle course ga? Break through one room to enter the next?"

"Looks so impressive! Wonder if the stadium is open to the public on regular days?"

"If it’s open, we should co and try it next ti."

Students discussed enthusiastically.

The contestants quietly waited at the entrance.

Eyes fixed on the indicator lights above the door.

Beep——

Red lights turned green, the four simultaneously rushed forward, pushing open the first door with force.

"It started, it started..."

"What the heck is this?"

"A drum washing machine?"

The room mocked by the students was exactly the one You Le entered.

Despite entering two-by-two in different rooms, the challenge inside each room is different.

The room You Le entered featured a giant drum. She needed to get inside the drum, like a little hamster, to step on the drum, driving the water flow into the adjacent water tank until the tank is full before she could exit the room.

Not to ntion how heavy this solid wooden drum is, the room also increased gravity, requiring three tis more effort to step on the drum.

The audience in the stands didn’t know these real conditions; they only felt You Le was stepping lightly, the drum spinning fast enough to blur, while the level in the adjacent glass tank kept rising.

It seed quite entertaining.

Wanting to ask the stadium staff if this area would open after the competition.

Huang Ying watched for a while, then turned to Ji Ning and said: "The education departnt seems to take this seriously, didn’t they invest heavily this ti?"

Ji Ning sneered inwardly.

In order to stop Anhe Middle School from advancing, those people are shaless enough.

Despite both sides having the sa basic conditions, the arrangent of challenges in each room had so tricks.

So tasks are difficult but don’t consu much physical or spiritual power, while others are simple but consu a lot.

Although the focus of the assessnt differs, by arranging tasks in unique orders, it can collapse a contestant, heavily testing their psychological resilience.

If You Le faced several physically exhausting tasks one after another, would she feel it would only get harder, causing her mindset to collapse prematurely?

Similarly, Lin Yuanyang faced a challenge of identifying matching water ripples from thousands of cups.

Though the order of challenges differed slightly, the challenges were identical; if a student couldn’t match the opponent, they had no one to bla.

Ji Ning firmly noted this against the education departnt in mind.

Thought those people implicitly accepted her proposal, but now waiting here.

Great!

Ji Ning, furious to the max, laughed coldly: "Hope they can still laugh..."

Huh?

Why did it suddenly feel cold?

Huang Ying turned her head towards Yao ng, who was focused on watching the competition.

***

Beijing——

Fu Ninghao sat on a small stool, watching the icy water rge into the lake, cheerfully asking the old man beside him.

"Lao ng, today is Hua Continent High School’s competition right?"

ng Chang knew what the old leader wanted to ask, replied with a smile: "The preliminary selection starts today."

"Anhe must have started, too?"

"Right, by now they should be at the city-level advancent match."

Fu Ninghao nodded slightly, almost talking to himself: "Wonder what’s the situation?"

ng Chang smiled and added: "We’ll know tonight, it’s a critical mont now."

Although the chief proposed a beautiful vision of harmonious coexistence between superpower users and regular students at the eting, the reality isn’t optimistic; those who awaken superpowers are inherently gifted, enjoying nurous privileges, naturally having a proud personality, wanting them to easily blend in with regular folks?

Impossible.

This is a common issue in humanity since ancient tis.

So, such unrealistic thoughts should be nipped in the bud.

ng Chang’s eyes flashed darkly, "Regardless of the outco, it’s an attempt."

Fu Ninghao laughed while pulling the fishing rod, a small palm-sized fish floated up.

"Impressive, chief..."

"Hahaha... Making fish soup tonight."

***

Three hours later.

Anhe Stadium echoed with cheers reaching the skies.

The competition was in its climax, both sides began their final sprint.

Though soone tried to trip Anhe Middle School up, Lin Yuanyang and You Le had undergone hundreds of extre training rounds under Ji Ning and Huang Ying.

Particularly Ji Ning, the training projects were unimaginable, even able to turn all training modes in Anhe Middle School’s training room into a whirlwind of excitent.

These kids could persist in Ji Ning’s hands for this long, already showing strong intellect, achieving golden rank.

Moreover, Lin Yuanyang and You Le endured special training in Nanling half-pollution zone, with endurance and psychological resilience exceeding most adults.

Wanting to manipulate their mindset during this competition?

Hehe...

Ji Ning played the mindset ga at a psychotic level!

Hence, Lin Yuanyang and You Le, in the competition, didn’t overthink, this intensity wasn’t even half of Ji Ning’s usual training.

They treated it like regular training, breaking through one small room after another.

Unbeknownst to them, how shocked their teachers and students continuously watching them were outside.

Had the opponents not undergone the sa tests, they might suspect the organizers were intentionally making it easy for Anhe Middle School.

These two kids broke through the rooms way too fast!

Could it be they truly have exceptional talent?

Finally——

The competition ended.

Both large screens displayed the scores of four students.

Anhe Middle School’s total score exceeded Mingyu Middle School’s by 53 points.

This score gap was practically crushing for Mingyu Middle School.

Compared to Anhe Middle School’s cheer, other schools remained silent.

The crowd regarded Anhe Middle School’s teachers and students with so scrutiny.

"Ah——We won! We won!"

"Principal, does the hot pot dinner still count tonight?"

Principal Zhang suppressed his inner fury, smilingly replied: "Of course it counts. Director Wang, you take the kids to the hot pot first, I’ll send you the box number. I’ll go pick them up, Ji Ning, you co with ."

Ji Ning easily noticed the situation inside the arena, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Tried tricks and failed again, yet returned to disgust people?

Such a lack of ambition!
