Resisting temptation makes you stronger? I'm going to build a base and cultivate martial arts.

Inside the classroom of Class Yichou, a group of people were chattering around Jingxi, Li Qi, and three others.

I thought that we wouldn't see these people until the end of the martial arts exam.

Unexpectedly, they returned just one day before the martial arts exam.

If you're talking about letting students relax at home, like they would during the college entrance exam... these five people are referees! They're like invigilators, so what's there to relax about?

And what about the White Wolf?

Jingxi had a bit of a headache, so she pretended to be aloof and didn't bother to reply.

Li Qi, however, was somewhat indignant and remained silent.

Left with no other option, Wu Xuan explained, "...Well, we originally wanted to go and cheer for Bai Lang. But he suddenly sent a message saying that, just to be on the safe side, none of us should go to the event."

"So as you can see, we took leave and came back!" She shrugged, indicating her helplessness.

"Could it be that he lacks confidence and doesn't want you to embarrass yourselves on the spot?" one student asked worriedly.

Wu Xuan looked at Li Qi, somewhat hesitant: "Is it really that bad? Wasn't he super confident yesterday?"

"It's hard to say," Ji Huaiguang sighed. "I heard he was inspecting the courtyard all night, probably doing intensive training. But he suddenly sent this message this morning; I have a bad feeling about it."

Lu Kui also shook his head: "Rumor has it that the higher-level delegation will be making a final inspection before the martial arts competition today."

Hearing her companions' worries, Li Qi forgot about being angry.

She looked at Jingxi: "Given the current situation, what can we do to help?"

"I don't know either. But in this situation, we can only trust White Wolf and not let him down." Jing Xi said calmly, "Although we don't know why, all we can do now is stay here."

"Sigh, I'm getting a little impatient. Is there nothing I can do but wait?" The chubby Lu Kui was getting restless.

Suddenly, Ji Huaiguang said, "Although we can't go to the scene, checking it through our phones shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Huh?" A bunch of people looked at this perennial runner-up.

Ji Huaiguang raised an eyebrow: "Don't you know anyone in Class A? Why don't you have them do a live broadcast?"

"Isn't that against the rules?" Wu Xuan hesitated.

"Hey! Let's find someone who doesn't mind!" Ji Huaiguang took out his phone and started using his connections.

Seeing this, the others also began searching.

Soon, a phone call was connected, and the message was projected directly onto the classroom screen.

Teacher Yu Ce just opened the door.

He glanced at the screen and laughed.

Wow! So many people!

……

"Wow! So many people! Now we don't have to keep secrets anymore?"

White Wolf walked into the stadium and saw Referee Azure Dragon waiting there.

The referee, Qinglong, glanced at the sea of ​​people around him and sighed, "Minister Jiang said today is the final exercise and invited everyone to come and observe... so naturally it's not a secret."

"Tsk tsk, the leader's mouth is so sharp..." White Wolf had known this situation all along, so he didn't bother to argue.

He was just a little surprised. He thought that this was just a formality, with Jiang Huai and Lu Wanli leading a few people.

With so many people, I hope they can accept the outcome.

On the upper level of the stadium, the majority of the spectator seats were occupied by personnel department staff.

Today is the weekend, and under normal circumstances, most staff members, except for a few unlucky ones on duty, will be resting.

However, in order to cooperate with Lu Wanli, almost the entire personnel department came.

Beside them were colleagues from other departments whom these ambitious employees had spontaneously invited.

There were ordinary people and cultivators inside.

The audience exchanged meaningful glances, then looked at the white wolf slowly walking into the arena with strange expressions.

Even they rarely see such a scene today.

How come this kid isn't scared at all?

The Azure Dragon referee led the White Wolf to the side.

He pointed to a huge arena he was passing by and said.

"The process is as follows: the leaders and superiors will give speeches later. Then you and Lu Chenxing will fight on stage. The result is simple: if you win, everything remains the same. If you lose, you leave the judging panel for personal reasons. Everything will be kept secret."

"According to mathematical expectation, I'm actually losing money, aren't I?" White Wolf glanced at him sideways.

"Even if you lose, it won't actually affect your resume," the referee, Qinglong, said.

"With half of the Bureau of Management here as witnesses, what's the point of a paper resume?" White Wolf scanned the audience in the stands.

"Who told you to be so stubborn... Considering there are two ministers, this result is already considered good." Referee Qinglong sighed slightly.

As if knowing they weren't the main characters today, the Thorn Faction and the Sorcery Faction remained very quiet.

Instead of tearing each other apart as usual, they stood quietly on a nearby ring.

Not long after, the referees from the East District arrived.

They also walked onto the stands where White Wolf was, forming an equilateral triangle with the two factions from the South Pacific region, surrounding the largest arena in the middle.

Lu Chenxing was also in the crowd.

He gave the white wolf a cold laugh, then stood casually to the side.

A short while later, the stadium doors were opened again.

Dozens of cannons were angled and turned towards the sky.

Countless fireworks rained down as the leaders filed in.

Suddenly, the referee, Qinglong, whispered, "Minister Qin is here too."

"Hmm?" White Wolf was thinking about his lines when he unconsciously hummed.

"The one in the wheelchair, Qin Yan, is the head of the combat department and one of the deputy directors. He's our superior. I heard he was preparing for medical retirement, but I didn't expect him to come today."

"Oh!" The white wolf glanced at it, then lowered his head.

Afterwards, the leaders first extended their regards to the three referees, then emphasized the three principles of fairness, impartiality, and openness of the martial arts competition, before heading to the perfect grandstand in the very center of the audience.

The Azure Dragon referee patted the White Wolf on the shoulder, and then walked to the center of the largest arena together with another referee and the head referee Qin Chutian.

"Ahem!" Qin Chutian cleared his throat.

He didn't need a microphone; his voice was loud and clear enough to reach everyone's ears.

"Distinguished leaders, today is the final rehearsal for the East 492 District Trial Team. The two sides facing off later will be Lu Chenxing and Bai Lang. They will present you with a spectacular..."

Qin Chutian hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, the white wolf leaped from the original arena into the central arena.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone on the field stunned.

For a moment, the venue fell completely silent.

"Stop with the empty talk!"

White Wolf's face remained calm as he pointed his finger toward the Eastern Region Referees.

"Lu Chenxing!"

"If you want to get into the elite program, let your abilities speak for themselves. All this fuss and nonsense—do you think scheming and trickery can kill someone who's different?"

"What does it mean to withdraw from the judging panel?"

"If you've got the guts, come at me for a one-on-one fight!"

"Whoever loses should never touch the Elite Program again!"
