"My Life Field Energy has reached 4.5."
Chu Zhou was very excited.
Advanced Apprentices had a Life Field Energy within the range of 3-5.
However, it was very difficult for most Advanced Apprentices to break through to Level 4.
Those with a Life Field Energy of 4 were all extraordinary talents. They could be considered elites among Advanced Apprentices.
Those with a Life Field Energy of 4.5 could basically be called geniuses.
The geniuses here did not only refer to the geniuses of Jiang City, but also the geniuses of all mankind.
Chu Zhou's talent was actually average. Normally speaking, it was very difficult for his Life Field to break through 4 when he was an Advanced Apprentice.
However, he relied on his Attribute Board to forcefully raise his Basic Breathing Technique, which was only at the third level, to the fifth level. He also forcefully raised his Life Force to 4.5, reaching the standard of a genius.
"The current me is probably enough to defeat three of me when I was in Operation Storm!"
"I'm definitely going to get first place in the elite trial."
Chu Zhou muttered to himself as he exuded a strong sense of confidence.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.
He took out his phone and saw a message from Big Sister Saber.
"Big Sister Saber wants me to go to the administrative office now?"
A trace of doubt flashed across Chu Zhou's eyes. He immediately walked towards the administrative office.
"Chu Zhou."
Chu Zhou met Liu Qianqian on his way to the administrative office.
"You also received Big Sister Saber's notification?" Chu Zhou asked.
"Yes." Liu Qianqian smiled. "Don't tell me you don't know the reason?"
Chu Zhou: "My lady, don't keep me in suspense."
"Who's your lady?"
Liu Qianqian blushed and rolled her eyes at Chu Zhou.
"Only a martial arts fanatic like you would care about nothing but cultivation all day long. You've already signed up for the elite trial, but you don't even know some of the rules of the elite trial."
Chu Zhou smiled awkwardly.
"There's a risk of death in the elite trials. There are deaths in the elite trials every year."
"The elite trials are voluntary… The school will not bear the responsibility of any death."
"Therefore, Big Sister Saber must be asking us to sign the death waiver agreement."
Liu Qianqian explained.
"I see."
Chu Zhou understood.
At this moment, Liu Qianqian's expression stiffened slightly. She looked behind Chu Zhou with an unfriendly gaze.
Chu Zhou noticed the change in Liu Qianqian's expression and turned around.
He immediately saw two familiar people— Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan.
"Chu Zhou, and Liu Qianqian, how dare you complain about me to the police… How dare you."
Zhou Tong walked over and stared coldly at Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian.
How would he, Zhou Tong, be captured and imprisoned if it wasn't because these two people told the police officers that he had defected to the enemy and was prepared to attack his own people?
The Zhou family had paid a huge price to protect him.
Even his father had been removed as the Vice Principal.
His martial arts university guaranteed spot was also gone.
How could he not hate Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian?
Moreover, Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian had seen him begging the scar-faced man for mercy.
He would not let Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian off just based on this alone.
"Zhou Tong, you're a scum with an ugly character… Fortunately, I didn't agree to be your girlfriend in the past."
Liu Qianqian sneered.
"Hmph, I only pursued you in the past because I wanted to play with you… Who do you think you are? I can find any woman I want with my conditions."
Zhou Tong's expression was slightly distorted as he coldly looked at Liu Qianqian.
Then, he stared at Chu Zhou's eyes murderously and smiled sinisterly.
"Chu Zhou, I wouldn't have bothered with trash like you from the slums, but you shouldn't have angered me… People die in the elite trial… Do you think you'll die this time?"
With that, he walked towards the administrative office with his head held high.
Jin Zhennan followed, but he paused and sneered when he passed by Chu Zhou,
"Hehe, Chu Zhou, you're very good, very good… I hope you will do well in this elite trial!"
"They seem to be threatening me! Liu Qianqian, what do you think I should do? Should I tremble in fear?" Chu Zhou said with a playful expression.
Liu Qianqian could not help but laugh.
"Chu Zhou, Dong Wende said that you are not only shameless, but also thick-skinned and black-hearted. I had some doubts before, but I believe him now. You're really two-faced!"
"What? Old Dong, how dare you slander me?"
Chu Zhou gritted his teeth. This damn fatty actually smeared my glorious image. I must punish him the next time round.
"Are you still using the word slander?"
Liu Qianqian smiled mockingly. She blinked her eyes as if she was looking forward to something.
"Zhou Tong and Jin Zhennan probably still don't know that you killed the scar-faced man… Tell me, how would they react if they knew the truth?"
Chu Zhou touched his chin and thought about it seriously. He said, "It will probably be very interesting… Perhaps, they will pee their pants!"
"So vulgar!"
Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at Chu Zhou, as though she despised Chu Zhou's choice of words, but she quickly smiled.
"I thought so too!"
Chu Zhou and Liu Qianqian soon arrived at the administrative office.
Big Sister Saber was sitting in the Academic Director's seat.
That's right. Big Sister Saber was now the new Academic Director.
Jin Zhennan's face twisted slightly when he saw Big Sister Saber sitting in the Academic Director's seat.
This position belonged to his second uncle, Jin Jingmao.
In the end, he lost his position because of him.
This made him hate Chu Zhou even more.
He did not consider himself as the root cause of the current outcome.
Some people were like that.
They would always blame others when things went wrong.
They would rarely find the blame on themselves.
"The elite trial has certain dangers involved… I'll ask you one last time, do you want to withdraw? It's not too late to withdraw now."
Big Sister Saber said expressionlessly, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
Chu Zhou and the others would naturally not back out.
"Alright, sign this death waiver agreement since you've all decided to participate in the elite trial!"
She placed four death waiver agreements on the table.
Such an important agreement not only had to be signed electronically, but also on paper.
Chu Zhou and the others stepped forward to sign and press their fingerprints on the paper version of the agreement. Then, they continued to sign and press their fingerprints on the electronic version.
"I'll be at the school gate at eight o'clock sharp tomorrow morning to go with you to the elite trial."
Big Sister Saber let Liu Qianqian and the others leave after she finished speaking. However, she left Chu Zhou behind.
Big Sister Saber looked at Chu Zhou with admiration in her cold eyes.
For the past month, Chu Zhou had been cultivating with him in the martial arts hall every morning other than during the Saturday and Sunday break.
She saw how Chu Zhou was improving at an unimaginable speed with her own eyes.
However, she gradually realized that Chu Zhou had been hiding his strength.
She suddenly increased the strength of her attack to an unprepared Chu Zhou during a sparring session in order to test Chu Zhou's true strength. She increased the strength of her attack to the extent that even those geniuses in Guangdong City had to seriously resist.
The result shocked her.
Chu Zhou blocked her attack easily.
What did that tell her?
This meant that Chu Zhou's true strength was no longer inferior to those geniuses in Guangdong City.
Moreover, Chu Zhou was personally nurtured by her.
This gave her a huge sense of accomplishment.
"Chu Zhou, are you confident?" Big Sister Saber asked with a rare smile.
"The first place is mine!" Chu Zhou's expression was very calm, but his eyes revealed absolute confidence.
"You're quite confident eh! But those three genius monsters from the First High School are not easy to deal with."
"They are the most outstanding students in Jiang City in the past ten years. They are not inferior to those geniuses in Guangdong City."
Big Sister Saber reminded him.
"Teacher, wait for my good news!"
Chu Zhou said confidently.
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news!"
Big Sister Saber nodded slightly.
It was good for young people to have confidence and drive.
If young people lost their confidence and drive, lost their fighting spirit, and were overcautious, they would be doomed.
That kind of martial artist would not be able to go far.
She gave Chu Zhou a few more instructions and told him to be careful before letting him leave.
"There was a saying in the old era: 'It never rains but it pours! Tomorrow's elite trial will be when you shock the entire Jiang City!"
Big Sister Saber looked in the direction where Chu Zhou left before and muttered to herself.
