We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 59 "Third-Class Combat Hero" Fearless Medal! (Please continue reading)

"Next, please welcome Colonel Wang to chair the rest of the meeting."

Tang Wensu returned to his seat and handed the microphone to Wang Xu.

"Ahem, I won't go on with any grand theories, I'm sure you're all tired of hearing them already, so let's get straight to the point."

Wang Xu made a little joke.

A long and enthusiastic round of applause erupted from the audience.

In an instant, the gloomy atmosphere was completely dispelled.

The world, oh no.

Many students had long been annoyed by Tang Wensu, because Tang Wensu was just too talkative. Even with He Haizhou's persuasive efforts to get him to speak clearly, his speech still lasted for almost half an hour.

Many unlucky ones, those who were eliminated in a few days, knew that they were only here to act as NPCs in the atmosphere group. Some of the students who were lucky enough to sit in the first row, on the surface, sat upright, but in reality, they had greeted Tang Wensu a thousand times.

"Are you going up on stage to receive an award again this time?" Wei Peng asked Shen Bailian in a low voice.

"I don't know."

Shen Bailian shook his head. He finally saw his ranking on the smart bracelet. He was sixth, while usually only the top three would get to go on stage to receive the award.

Wang Xu paused for a moment, recalling the prepared remarks, and then said loudly, "First of all, I want to say that every one of you here is a brave person, a brave person who dares to face the wilderness."

"So please allow me to applaud your courage!"

Before the students could react, a round of enthusiastic applause rang out from the stage. Although some observers were in virtual projection mode, their voices were still transmitted accurately.

After a while~
Wang Xu stopped, and the conference hall fell silent again, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone proudly raised their chests.

"However, competition is an eternal theme for martial artists. With competition comes rankings and places!"

"After ten days of fierce competition and bloody battles in the wilderness trial, many outstanding martial artists have emerged, including ten students who ranked in the top ten in terms of points."

"Their names, in order, are: Huang Xu, Gao Lei, Shen Bailian, Wu Gang, Li Hongling, and Zhang Hao!"

Wow~
When the last name was announced, the audience erupted in a frenzy of discussion, focusing on only one topic:
Who is Zhang Hao?
During this trial, the information of all the students has been circulated. In the private rankings, Li Hongling should be firmly in first place, but now a person that no one is familiar with has suddenly appeared.

This inevitably raises suspicions that there might be some underhanded dealings involved.

Gao Lei quickly looked at Li Hongling and Wu Gang, his meaning quite clear: Who is Zhang Hao?

"Could it be him?"

Shen Bailian frowned slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind.

During the Sanqing Mountain Trial, he reached the supply point four times before encountering Gao Lei, but his success rate was only 50% (see Chapter 45 for details).

He lost to Wu Gang once, and he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.

However, he lost another time in a very strange way, because Shen Bailian didn't even see the person. He only knew that the opponent was using a bow, because he was grazed by an arrow as soon as he started in the virtual battle arena.

Just as he was about to search for someone, three arrows were fired in quick succession.

And then, it was eliminated.

Seeing the heated discussion among the crowd, Wang Xu expressed his understanding, because they were also surprised when the results were tallied, but all their doubts were resolved after watching the video recording.

"I believe that some of you in the audience have doubts, and some of you may even be wondering if someone manipulated the results behind the scenes, but..."

Wang Xu pressed his hands together twice, and after the audience quieted down, he continued, "After you watch this video, you will have no more doubts."

As he finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared, showing a wide-angle video. A pack of wolves, having finished their meal, were leisurely resting in their camp.

Sudden.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three sharp explosions shattered the peaceful atmosphere, killing the three wolves instantly, the arrows still trembling at the tip.

The speed was incredibly fast; within a second, there were five or six explosions, and any jungle wolves that showed their heads were instantly shot to pieces.

Just seconds after showing up!

In less than a minute, along with the awakened wolf king, all the jungle wolves died before they could run even ten meters away, and ninety percent of the arrows entered through their weakest point, the eyes.

The treetops in the distance twitched slightly, and the jungle fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

Then came the second video, a virtual battle arena—in a tropical rainforest. During the intervals, everyone was able to see Zhang Hao's face, which was just an ordinary boy.

But this very person eliminated Shen Bailian with just four arrows. As for the remaining people, they were shot through with an average of 0.6 arrows each, and were even shot through while they were still in a daze.

One video after another was shown, which was quite boring.

Because almost all the prey were instantly killed by the boy, just like having a cheat code in a game.

"Sigh~"

"This is terrifying! It's practically a points-collecting machine!"

"Isn't this equivalent to carrying a semi-automatic sniper rifle with you when you go out?"

"."

"No wonder I didn't notice who the enemy was at the time."

Shen Bailian looked at Zhang Hao's face and pondered. Zhang Hao was so ordinary that he didn't stand out in a crowd, which made him overlook him.

That face was practically a natural camouflage.

"Alright, now you should have no more doubts." Wang Xu looked at the expressions of the students below the stage, his expression gradually calming down, and said in a deep voice, "Next, let's begin the second item on the agenda."

"In addition to announcing the points rankings, there will also be a special recognition ceremony this time."

The moment those words were spoken, many students straightened their backs and sat up proudly.

Many students who had been eliminated earlier looked up at Wang Xu, curious. What was this special commendation? Had something happened that they didn't know about?
"Just two days ago, a student from Sanqing Mountain chose to betray humanity! Betray the Great Xia Dynasty! He used an evil ritual to summon an evil god!"

"However, at this critical moment, 121 trial participants still stepped forward, risking being invaded by divinity, and fought on the front line. After discussion, it was decided to award these 121 students the title of 'Light of Bozhou' Collective Model!"

"Furthermore, in this small battle, four students performed exceptionally well, blocking and killing the human beings. After discussion among the Education Bureau, the City Guard, and Lord Kong, it was decided to award these four students the collective honorary title of 'Fearless Shield'!"

Wow!
The audience erupted in cheers again. This was an honorary title, which would directly add 10 points to the martial arts college entrance examination, and there were other hidden benefits, such as reduced medical expenses and discounted cultivation resources.
Of course, the story doesn't end there.

"Everyone, don't panic." Wang Xu pressed his hands together, his voice growing increasingly impassioned, his eyes bright, and continued in a loud voice: "One of the students, with his own flesh and blood, fought against the human form, attracting 90% of the firepower. After discussion by the Education Bureau, the City Guard, and City Lord Kong, this student is awarded the 'Third-Class Combat Hero' Fearless Medal!"

"Next, please welcome Shen Bailian, a student from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School, to the stage for the medal awarding ceremony!"

clap clap clap!
In an instant, thunderous applause erupted, filling the entire conference hall with prolonged applause.

The titles of model worker, honorary titles, and medals of fearlessness are all incredibly inspiring.

All the trial participants eagerly awaited to see who would be the one to receive the medal in such an "ordinary" trial.

Good night and sweet dreams, everyone.
