92: Chapter 77: Encounter Again 92: Chapter 77: Encounter Again Perhaps it was because there weren’t many candidates left, or maybe it was because Lu Ping’an’s request met the “fairness” criterion and really caught Mr. Knight’s attention. Either way, when he encountered Huang Zhuxing again after his fourth opponent, Lu Ping’an was not surprised at all. This time, the match ended quite quickly. Low-level professionals have extremely limited abilities and consumables, especially those that seem noble, like the Elemental Summoning Series. Huang Zhuxing, who had used up his last few trump cards in previous rounds, fell before Lu Ping’an after just a few exchanges. And because of his previous extreme trash-talking, the petty Lu Ping’an didn’t give him the time to admit defeat. He first gave Huang Zhuxing the hope of victory, then played a teleport ambush, allowing him to “accidentally” enjoy a very precise round of tentacle whipping without any mental preparation… the scene was a bit difficult to watch and slightly R-rated. When this troublesome opponent vanished in despair, Lu Ping’an also sensed that he might have unknowingly improved a great deal. The Body of Ten Thousand Spirits and LV7 All Weapon Specialization may not seem to have gained any new abilities, but the combined improvements they bring are indeed transformative. Originally forced to the limit and barely holding onto the trial, he successfully eliminated one strongman after another upon entering the third time without even revealing his last two trump cards. The time was running out. “Twenty-seven people left? Four third-tier, all the rest 2-tier… oh, and one who claims to be 1-tier.” For the audience off-stage, perhaps now was the time for the real show to begin. Regardless of how the final 27 survived until now, they were destined to become the focus of all candidates and professors. Even in the next year, they will be the subject of special attention, or even special training and trials, from the professors. In everyone’s eyes, Lu Ping’an, even more so than many amazing third-tier students, was difficult to comprehend. “How did he do it? I would understand if he hid his strength, but he hasn’t shown a single ability above 2-tier yet, relying only on a few first-tier abilities…” “No, his combat power is actually 2-tier. Look at his powerful magic plants, at least they are 2-tier. A Gardener, like those summoners, can train same-tier or even higher-tier combat power and has the ability to fight multiple opponents. I’m curious why he doesn’t suffer backlash from having magic plants stronger than his own tier.” The students were discussing in hushed voices, and since most 2-tier abilities were “secrets”, they could only watch the commotion for many 2-tier professionals. Among a bunch of “incomprehensible” students, this 1-tier professional was naturally receiving more attention. “…Actually, I personally think he has great potential. His advantages lie in the dual talents of ‘space’ and ‘life’, and he has a high level of development in both Runner and Gardener.” The teachers were also in heated discussion, their evaluations and debates were much more professional and mostly focused on the students’ future. “Indeed, the development level of his dual profession is quite high, and he has a bright future if he continues this path. That kind of affinity with magic plants is rare even among second and third-tier Gardeners. That Shrink Land skill seems like the result of a decade of hard work – does he have a talent ability to assist it?” “It looks like he’s a long-term accumulator in the first-tier, right? Old Qian, you were the one in charge of his interview, isn’t it? How high is the intensity of his natural talents? Is there any long-term plan for him to stay in the first-tier?” When asked, Director Qian had a subtle expression, and the teachers had already reached a consensus that Lu Ping’an should be a “fake first-tier” like Disaster Fist Xue En, staying in the first tier to plan for the long term. “Hehe, it’s not convenient for me to reveal anything about the students. All I can say is that his talent abilities are very strong, very very strong.” Remembering that Lu Ping’an was just a mortal twenty days ago, Director Qian could only give such an evasive answer. The real situation itself might be unbelievable to others, and revealing it would surely cause an uproar, breaking the confidentiality regulations for professors. Although this answer would be expected, it also implied that his “strong talent” made many professors interested. These people were aware of Lu Ping’an’s historical levels in the interview, so they wondered what kind of “powerful talents” it would take for the prestigious Logistics Department to give such an extraordinary evaluation. And letting Director Qian, who had been in the profession for decades and seen countless talented people, give the comment “very strong, very very strong.” “…Next up, let’s see how he fares against a real strongman.” In the eyes of professors, ordinary 2-tier students can no longer stop Lu Ping’an. What they really want to see is how he performs against a third-tier student. In fact, no matter how lively the students were or how eye-catching the titles “Axe King” and “Sword King”, the professors didn’t even have an impression of Lu Ping’an originally. They had seen too many “shooting stars” and too many “one-hit wonders” who were thriving for two years and then disappeared. Strongmen in the first-tier? Did someone with just a few foundational professional skills and only one or two abnormal abilities in 1-tier deserve to be called a strongman… For them, the whole day that Lu Ping’an spent rampaging meant nothing compared to the few minutes he spent in front of Wang Hai. When this 1-tier young man genuinely faced a third-tier old stager and managed to put up a good fight, even though Wang Hai didn’t burst out with full strength, it allowed him to truly enter the sight of professors and experts. That might mean that he would eventually become one of them. “Even if Lu Ping’an has the combat power of 2-tier, there’s still a huge gap between the 2-tier and third-tier. Let’s see if he can cross it…” There weren’t many people left, and some third-tier students had already left out of boredom. However, the last four third-tier students in the pool were still rampaging, and it was only a matter of time before Lu Ping’an encountered one of them again. No one thought he could win, but they all wanted to see what kind of result he could achieve with the biggest hardware gap. That directly affected the final evaluation of many professors and his future treatment. The school offered a ranking reward mechanism not just to attract attention and win support, but also to identify the most potential freshmen. In the future, they would enjoy an “enhanced” life, training, competition, and practical experience. Finally, with less than 20 minutes left and only two or three rounds to go, the professors’ expectations were realized. Lu Ping’an encountered a third-tier student, who also happened to be an old acquaintance. “Wang Hai, it’s you again…” Seeing the familiar white-clad figure, Lu Ping’an laughed genuinely under the incomprehensible gaze of the audience. “…” Wang Hai just kept silent and assumed the Secret Keeper’s combat stance. This time, neither side would hold back.
