"Just now Lord Hokage has said, the third exam will be a lot of big shots to watch the battle, in addition to ensure that the exam is exciting, there is also a time limit, it is impossible for so many people to slowly carry out the exam, so we must screen out part of it in advance!"
Hayate Gekkō continued to cough while explaining to the candidates.
In the end, the candidates finally had to accept this preliminary exam.
At the same time, from the reaction of Asakusa Kenjin and Yanagi Kimura two, Naruto and others have once again felt that not every senior, is knowledgeable as Zhou Xuan-senpai!
This is just the beginning, because when Hayate Gekkō said that the next is the individual competition, if some candidates withdraw from the preliminaries voluntarily, it will not affect the results of other team members, Kento Asakusa and Kimura Yanagi both chose to withdraw first.
Because, when they thought that they might meet Gaara, they were extremely frightened, and they had no intention of participating in the preliminaries.
Of course, originally, without Zhou Xuan, he and Yanagi Kimura were going to be eliminated in the second exam, and may even be killed, now because of Zhou Xuan they have come here, and even saved their lives, it can be considered that they are lucky.
However, their retreat also made Naruto look down on these two seniors, and at the same time they felt that Zhou Xuan's image was higher.
Immediately afterwards, Kabuto also expressed his desire to quit.
Originally, according to the original, Naruto was very trusting of Kabuto and would have questioned him as to why he was quitting.
However, now because of Zhou Xuan's relationship, Kabuto has no place in Naruto's mind at all. He expressed his withdrawal. Naruto and the others actually felt that this Kabuto-senpai had suffered so many injuries, and it was indeed not suitable for him to continue fighting. He cast a regretful, congratulatory look.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when he met Naruto and the others, Naruto secretly complained to him about the strength of the senior, and the fact that they wanted their protection, he almost couldn't help but laugh!
"It seems that my influence on this world has begun to show step by step!" Zhou Xuan thought to himself.
With the withdrawal of Kabuto, Asakusa Kenjin, and Yanagi Kimura, there were 21 candidates left on the scene.
This gives Hayate Gekkō a bit of a headache because there must be one person left without a partner if they have a two-on-two duel.
Moreover, if eleven people are allowed to advance, then there will still be one person's turn in the third exam as well.
"Is there anyone else who wants to quit?" Hayate Gekkō shouted again.
He hopes that one more person will drop out, and then it can make his job a little better.
Zhou Xuan was naturally the one who came out.
Just kidding, he has to take the opportunity to pick up a wave of attributes here and upgrade to Elite Chunin, how could he quit now?
In the end, no one else left, and Hayate Gekkō could only say helplessly: "If that's the case, let's draw lots! If there is one more person and a blank lottery is drawn, then this round is free, and will directly advance!"
This made the eyes of many students lit up.
Many of them are actually injured. If they can, they really don't want to fight now, so they all want to draw this blank sign.
The draw soon began, and a draw box appeared in front of everyone.
"I'll go first!"
Zhou Xuan suddenly shouted, and then strode forward.
As a result, he casually stretched out his hand to draw, and the result he took out turned out to be a blank sign!
For a while, there was an uproar all around!
"Fuck, this guy is so lucky!"
"Damn it! I thought the blank sign would be drawn by me!"
"It's really worthy of Zhou Xuan-senpai, even his luck is so great!"
"There can't be any underhanded operation here, right? Otherwise how could it be so coincidental that the first draw was a blank sign?"
...
Some candidates were envying Zhou Xuan, and even Naruto and others cast admiring glances at him.
Other candidates were unhappy, and some even expressed doubts about the fairness of the lottery.
Listening to the candidates' chatter, the many great figures present were also dismayed.
They can naturally see that just now there is no tampering, can only say that Zhou Xuan's luck is too good, so good that people are surprised!
In fact, even Zhou Xuan himself did not expect that his luck would be so good, and even wondered if the system had secretly turned on the hidden "lucky" attribute for him.
Looking at the blank sign in his hand, he finally grinned and said to himself: This is fine, I can hide my strength and pick up another wave of attributes!
When Hayate Gekkō saw the result, he was stunned for a while, but he didn't say much, and even felt that he could finish work earlier.
Then, he announced, "You are candidate Zhou Xuan, right? Since you have drawn a blank ticket, you will advance directly, so go rest to the side first!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Xuan answered and turned around to retreat.
As a result, he happened to see Gaara, who was not far away, with a gloomy expression on his face.
Gaara had hoped that he could meet Zhou Xuan, and then tear him alive, who thought that Zhou Xuan had been given a "death-free card", at this time he was naturally very upset.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but start to mourn for Rock Lee.
Because, if nothing else, Rock Lee will still meet Gaara, this guy will probably take out all his anger towards Rock Lee later!
