In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Chapter 221 You seem to have a natural ability to make people dislike you.

The person next to him, referred to as Teacher Zhou, did not speak up or argue with Peng Yueze.

He doesn't really care who becomes the captain.

He disliked Peng Yueze's words and Xu Chi's helpless expression.

To put it bluntly, Teacher Zhou just can't stand people who are pretentious.

Those pretentious people will unconsciously give others the cold shoulder, making them feel awkward.

"Since there are no objections, then Mr. Xu Chi will take over as team leader."

We will follow Mr. Xu Chi's arrangements.

You can raise any opinions, but ultimately, the captain makes the final decision.

After Peng Yueze said so much, Li Yuan felt that he and Xu Chi must have discussed it last night.

But it doesn't matter, if he wants to be the captain, let him be.

There will always be a chance to participate in this ranking competition, so there's no rush.

At 8:20, there are ten minutes left before the rating competition begins.

In the very center, there were tables set up, and people were already sitting down.

These people are the judges for this year's rating competition.

The final rating is determined by their selection and voting.

Li Yuan stood on the periphery, waiting for the competition to begin.

As his gaze swept around, he noticed that there were an unusually large number of people present today.

And some of them look somewhat familiar.

These people were also looking at me, as if I were some kind of target.

While hesitating, Li Yuan suddenly saw a familiar face on the platform to his right.

It's Jin Fan.

Sitting next to him was a woman, Jin Fan's mother, Ding Xiaoyue.

Jin Fan looks to be in pretty good shape today.

The injury Li Yuan inflicted on him ruined his path of cultivation, but it didn't seem to have much impact on his daily life.

Upon seeing Jin Fan, Li Yuancai realized why those people seemed familiar.

Li Yuan has an exceptional memory; he can tell that some people resemble Jin Fan in some ways.

They just hadn't been connected before.

Now I understand, they must be related to Jin Fan by blood.

If nothing unexpected happens, is he here to help Jin Fan get revenge on him?

Li Yuan watched this scene without feeling any panic.

The improvement he had received during this period made Li Yuan exceptionally calm.

Not to mention the new martial arts skills he acquired, he had only obtained his seventh new talent before coming here.

With the blessing of the talent of "Mastering the Art of Self", his martial arts strength has made leaps and bounds.

To be honest, Li Yuan really wanted to find an opponent to test his true strength.

When Jin Fan saw Li Yuan looking at him, a fierce expression flashed across his face.

On the other side, those who looked like his cousins ​​were looking at Jin Fan with amusement.

It's not sympathy, nor is it shared hatred of the enemy.

It leans more towards a feeling of schadenfreude.

Li Yuan was unaware of the Jin family's complicated history, and didn't want to know.

If trouble comes, just face it head-on.

While waiting, other people came over and greeted Xu Chi.

It seems that this teacher, Xu Chi, is quite famous.

It should be something that has garnered a lot of attention within the education sector.

Judging from the compliments from these people, Xu Chi is quite capable.

He was also at the sixth rank of Great Perfection, but he was very accomplished in the study of martial arts and techniques.

When people around him complimented him, they all wanted to invite him to dinner after the competition.

I want to talk to him about spiritual practice.

This scene also made Peng Yueze very proud.

He felt a surge of excitement when his idol was respected by others.

At 8:30, the rating competition officially began.

An elderly teacher stepped forward, stood in the middle, and presided over the evaluation competition.

Despite his advanced age, the teacher was in good condition, speaking clearly and logically.

He first briefly explained the rules, followed by a series of polite remarks.

We encourage everyone to perform well and achieve a better rating.

Soon, today's competition officially began.

Next comes the drawing of lots.

Each team sends one person to draw lots.

For Li Yuan's team, Xu Chi, as the captain, was naturally the one to go up.

As the lottery was being drawn, more and more people gathered to watch, including many reporters.

The rating and competition system is considered a relatively important one within the education sector.

Overall, however, this is a relatively small competition.

Compared to the Qingwu Tournament, its scale and level of attention are completely different.

Unexpectedly, a large number of reporters came to watch and prepare to report on it.

Li Yuan had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and it was most likely related to the Jin family.

Meanwhile, the other contestants also noticed this.

As more and more people gathered, and reporters recorded and took photos, many people felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

This includes Li Yuan, the temporary team leader, and Xu Chi.

In all the competitions and exchange meetings he has participated in, has he ever received this kind of attention?

After the draw, Xu Chi returned to the team.

As the team leader, he began to remind his five teammates.

"This year's promotion competition has garnered a lot of attention."

I will give it my all, at least 70% of my strength, and try my best to ensure you all get to perform a few more times.

But you guys better not mess things up too much.

Even if you're going to lose, you should at least wear down your opponent before you lose.

Xu Chi remained confident.

Seeing so many reporters arrive only made him more excited.

This was the opportunity he had been dreaming of.

The more people there are, the more easily his abilities will be noticed.

Xu Chi is essentially a very pragmatic person.

He seizes every opportunity to gain attention.

This naturally includes the position of team leader.

"Oh my, you've helped us advance to the next round."

If we make a move, all we can do is wear down the opponent's stamina, right?

Teacher Zhou in the team disliked Xu Chi's arrogant attitude.

Upon hearing this, he immediately retorted.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chi gave him a cold look and didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, the lottery results were announced.

Li Yuan's group, number seventeen, faced off against group ten.

Among the opponents in the tenth group were members of the Kim family.

Among the people who had been staring at him just now were members of the tenth group.

Next, you will have fifteen minutes to prepare.

While waiting, Jin Yu led a few people toward Li Yuan.

As a member of a collateral branch of the Jin family, Jin Yu was well aware that he was not receiving attention from the senior members of the Jin family.

This is a rare opportunity for them.

After Jin Fan lost to Li Yuan in public and was seriously injured by Li Yuan, the Jin family's reputation suffered considerably.

Why are there so many reporters here today?

The reason is to get them to report it and spread the news.

The younger generation of the Jin family is not incapable; Jin Fan's injury was an accident.

Or perhaps, Jin Fan simply encountered some problems and wasn't performing well.

At this moment, Jin Yu was already standing in the rest area of ​​Group Seventeen.

"Li Yuan, I haven't mistaken you for someone else, have I?" Jin Yu looked at Li Yuan, asking knowingly.

"You gave me a chance to prove myself to my elders in the family."

Logically I should thank you, but seeing you today makes me feel a bit annoyed.

You seem to have an innate ability to annoy people.
