Chapter 5

Tian Xiangdong's words were clearly intended for Zhou Wen to hear, but Zhou Wen was not angry.

The practical test for the college entrance exam is a major event that affects the rest of one's life. For anyone, it is something they would want to do their best at, not wanting to be influenced by others.

Whether one can attend a prestigious university, find a decent job after graduation, or even have the opportunity to enter the upper class, all have a significant relationship with this.

Moreover, the strength of teammates could also affect one's personal safety. No one would joke about such matters.

Even Zhou Wen, before obtaining that mysterious phone, also wanted to attend a prestigious university, so he could have more opportunities to become stronger and not be lost among the masses. Therefore, Zhou Wen could understand why Tian Xiangdong spoke in such a way.

After Tian Xiangdong finished speaking, he did not look at Fang Ruoxi, but directly at Zhou Wen.

Fang Ruoxi also looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Although Zheng Yi is also excellent, I still think Zhou Wen is the best choice."

Li Zhi, on the other side, thought for a moment and said, "We naturally trust Ruoxi's judgment, and Zhou Wen is indeed excellent. However, the results of the practical test are very important to all of us, so we must be cautious. How about this: if Zhou Wen doesn't mind, we can do a small test. Once the results are out, it will be clear whether Zhou Wen is suitable for our team."

"Tian Zhi makes a good point; I agree," Tian Xiangdong said first.

"How do we test?" Fang Ruoxi asked.

"That's easy. Among the three of us, I am the weakest. Let Zhou Wen fight me. As long as he wins, he will have the qualifications to join our team. This isn't bullying him, right?" Tian Xiangdong quickly interjected.

Fang Ruoxi didn't say anything, just looked at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen knew he had to show some initiative at this moment, otherwise it would be difficult to integrate into the team. Although he wasn't particularly interested in joining the team, he also wanted to achieve a good score in this practical exam. Fang Ruoxi's team was considered the strongest in Guide High School, so joining them wasn't a bad thing.

"I have no problem, but practical tests are risky, and it's not good if anyone gets hurt," Zhou Wen nodded and said.

Tian Xiangdong laughed and said, "Zhou Wen, I know you have always practiced the 'Bitter Zen,' which must have given you an extraordinary physique and strength, but your speed is definitely lacking. I won't bully you. How about we decide the winner by strength?"

Fang Ruoxi frowned slightly at Tian Xiangdong's words.

Tian Xiangdong practiced the 'Thunder Power,' which is also a technique that excels in explosive strength. Moreover, Tian Xiangdong also knew a technique called 'Thunder Fist,' which complements the 'Thunder Power.' Although Tian Xiangdong's Thunder Fist was only at the first level, it was quite rare for a high school student to master a technique, especially one that complements their own technique.

Fang Ruoxi didn't know Zhou Wen's family background, but from the fact that Zhou Wen practiced the 'Bitter Zen' without ever buying energy crystals to aid his practice, it was likely that his family was in a difficult situation. Without even buying energy crystals, how could he afford to buy energy technique crystals?

Moreover, during Zhou Wen's previous fight with An Jing, he didn't use any energy techniques.

Fang Ruoxi's lips moved, but she didn't say anything, thinking to herself, "It's good to see how Zhou Wen will handle this."

"How do we test strength?" Zhou Wen looked at Tian Xiangdong and asked.

"Although the school has strength testing machines, those dead numbers are meaningless. Let's go fist to fist. Whoever steps back first loses, how about that?" Tian Xiangdong said with narrowed eyes.

"Let's use the school's strength testing machine," Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said.

"What? Afraid I'll hurt you?" Tian Xiangdong sneered.

Zhou Wen smiled but didn't speak. He was afraid of killing Tian Xiangdong with one punch.

Tian Xiangdong's mastery of the Thunder Fist was not a secret in the school. Pure strength might not be enough to defeat him. If Zhou Wen used the Great Strength Fist, he was afraid he would explode Tian Xiangdong's arm and body with one punch.

"Fine, since you're afraid, let's use the strength testing machine," Tian Xiangdong said with some regret.

Over the three years of high school, all teachers and students said Zhou Wen was the top genius of Guide High School. Tian Xiangdong naturally felt不服气 (unconvinced) and had long wanted to defeat Zhou Wen to prove himself.

This was a small desire in the hearts of many top students at Guide High School. After Zhou Wen was defeated by An Jing, this desire had diminished.

However, since there was a chance to defeat Zhou Wen, Tian Xiangdong still felt a bit of excitement and anticipation, after all, Zhou Wen was once hailed as the top genius of Guide High School.

The only thing Tian Xiangdong felt a bit regretful about was that he couldn't defeat Zhou Wen personally like An Jing, and could only defeat him using the data from the strength testing machine.

It was still lunch break, and there were not many students in the instrument room. Yu Qiubai, as usual, was testing each machine one by one to see if there were any problems, so he could report them for repair in time.

Just as Yu Qiubai sat in the energy testing machine, which looked like a space capsule, he heard the door of the instrument room being pushed open, and someone walked in.

"Who would come here during lunch break?" Yu Qiubai looked out through the observation hole of the energy testing machine and saw that it was Fang Ruoxi, Tian Xiangdong, Li Zhi, and Zhou Wen. He was somewhat surprised.

These four students were almost the top elites of this year's Guide High School. Except for Zhou Wen, who had given up, the other three were the most promising graduates of Guide High School this year.

The fact that the four of them came to the instrument room together, and included Zhou Wen, made Yu Qiubai curious about what they were doing.

"Four... Could it be that they are forming a team for the practical test... But Zhou Wen's current situation... Why would Fang Ruoxi and the others team up with Zhou Wen?" Yu Qiubai thought and stayed in the energy testing machine, wanting to see what they were doing.

"Shall I go first or you?" Tian Xiangdong walked to the strength testing machine and turned to look at Zhou Wen.

"Either way is fine," Zhou Wen said indifferently.

"Since everyone has three chances, and the highest score is taken, it doesn't matter who goes first. I'll go first," Tian Xiangdong said as he walked to the testing machine.

Tian Xiangdong took a deep breath, activated the Thunder Power, and gathered his strength. He then punched the pressure plate of the strength testing machine.

The pressure plate was made of alloy and had a hydraulic system behind it. Depending on the force of the punch, the plate would retreat, and the screen would display a score.

When Tian Xiangdong's punch landed, the numbers on the screen lit up one by one, stopping at 7.

Tian Xiangdong did not use the Thunder Fist this time, relying only on pure strength. He was quite satisfied with the score of 7.

A strength score of 7 was undoubtedly top-tier for an average high school student.
