Chapter 159 The Seven Sects Grand Competition

Thursday.
Today is the highly anticipated Xia Hai Seven Sects Grand Competition.
No, why say highly anticipated...
Oh right, there are indeed ten thousand second-year students in the seven Xia Hai schools combined.
So, it's not wrong to say that.
Actually, calling it a midterm exam is a bit late, as there's only a month and a half left until the end of the term.
But this is a common joint exam among the prestigious schools of Hai Dong, so it's treated as a midterm exam.
The reason for choosing this time is that by now, the Provincial Experimental Schools have basically completed all the course content.
In other words, this is a comprehensive exam that completely simulates the *gaokao* (national college entrance examination).
The results this time are extremely valuable.
The reason previous results weren't as valuable was because some students' abilities leaned towards certain content, and the earlier exams focused on testing recently learned knowledge.
It's normal for people to favor certain subjects, and even more normal to favor certain knowledge points.
Therefore, whether it's the Seven Sects Grand Competition or the Four Sects Sword Debate, the results of this exam can directly reflect a student's overall level.
After arriving at school, Chen Yuan headed to his exam room, Class Four of the second year, which was also the fourth exam room.
On the way, he happened to meet Zhou Fu, Zhou Yu, Tang Siwen, He Sijiao, Tang Jian, and others. They seemed to have eaten breakfast together and were walking together.
"I heard from the older students that the questions for the Seven Schools Joint Exam are very 'run'," Tang Jian suddenly said.
"What's this 'run' thing?" He Sijiao asked with a disgusted expression.
Because according to the formula—if a boy says something that's hard to understand, it's probably lewd.
If it's a high school student, it's definitely lewd!
"Maybe it means they're very classic," Zhou Fu guessed.
"Anyway, it means they're very good, with basically no mistakes and no repeated questions," Tang Jian explained. "The rankings after the Seven Schools Joint Exam are very similar to the final *gaokao* rankings."
"That means they're good questions," Zhou Fu said happily. "My previous school's exams were always a little bit off. I didn't expect to be able to take the Seven Schools Joint Exam after transferring."
"But among the seven schools, only No. 2 High School and the Affiliated High School are really top-tier, No. 11 High School is a bit of a stretch," Zhou Yu said.
"It's not that bad, No. 11 High School should be around seventh in all of Xia Hai, excluding those two, which means it's fifth among the seven schools, a proper mid-tier school," Chen Yuan said.
"Besides, the Seven Schools Joint Exam is probably the best exam we can get," He Sijiao said.
There are trade barriers even between schools. The strong cooperate with the strong, and the weak band together with the weak. As for those in the middle, they're kind of screwed.
No one wants to take them up.
Taking them down is like providing poverty relief.
And No. 11 High School just happens to be at the node of a prestigious school, not good enough to be at the top, but more than enough to be above the rest.
While they were chatting, Tang Jian suddenly stopped.
Chen Yuan was puzzled.
Then, he realized that He Sijiao, Zhou Yu, and Tang Jian had clearly separated themselves from him, Tang Siwen, and Zhou Fu.
"L, Lord," Zhou Yu and Tang Jian said almost in unison.
Only then did Chen Yuan realize that those guys from the twenty-fifth exam room onwards already had a natural barrier between them.
"Damn it, Chen Yuan actually has this day."
He Sijiao said this with considerable displeasure, and then walked towards the corridor. The three of them went to the exam rooms at the back.
Then, the three on this side continued up the stairs.
"Fu-zi *Jie*, those two are really hilarious, they're actually playing the 'Run Tu' meme..."
Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, Zhou Fu, who had gone up the stairs with them but was going in a different direction, looked at the two of them, lowered her head, and bit her lip: "L, Lord."
Only then did he realize that Zhou Fu was 171st place, her exam room was the sixth exam room, on the left after going up the stairs, opposite to them.
No, your eighteenth class transformation is so natural!
This girl is going to become as abstract as them sooner or later.
Zhou Fu, you're a beautiful girl, don't be so silly!
Chen Yuan felt speechless. Following Tang Siwen, he walked to the right. Just as he was about to enter the exam room, she suddenly looked at him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.
Tang Siwen looked at him, then looked at the fourth exam room conspicuously posted on the door, and asked, puzzled, "Aren't you going to perform that?"
Chen Yuan was stunned: "..."
"You know, that," Tang Siwen specially reminded, "What they were saying just now."
In response, Chen Yuan could only sigh and reluctantly comply: "L, Lord."
Only then did Tang Siwen feel comfortable, gave an okay gesture, and headed to the third exam room.
Damn it, Tang Siwen, I'll surpass you sooner or later!
So what if you're in the third exam room?
I'm the man who's going to be the Saint of No. 11 High School.
What? I'm not even the Saint of Class Eighteen yet...
Indeed, before beating Liu Chengxi, I have to beat Tang Siwen first.
This person is the current mini-boss.
After entering the fourth exam room, Chen Yuan found his seat, 99, second row, second seat.
Seeing him, Qiu Meng immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet him, "Hey, Chen Yuan."
Her words made many students in the classroom notice.
They were in the same exam room as Source God.
There was no way they didn't know about this person. He was already a campus star during the basketball game before.
In addition, there were his deeds in the English radio station, first place in the provincial math competition, and a 100-point improvement in two months.
They all knew that this person's limit was not here.
"Hello," Chen Yuan also greeted Qiu Meng.
This person was a good guy, that had already been proven.
Although she was a bit perverted, she was only perverted towards Tang Jian.
Umm, Teacher Qiu Meng, why don't you open a class? My Yu-zi has always been weak in this area. See if you can give her a good tutoring.
Maybe teach her to be as perverted as you.
Of course, if she has the talent, being even more perverted is acceptable.
Please, any amount of money is fine.
We can't skimp on education!
"By the way, you and Tang Jian... what stage are you at recently?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked curiously in a low voice.
Qiu Meng shook her head and replied, "We're progressing really slowly, I haven't even seen Little Tang Jian yet."
No, Teacher Da Meng!!!
Meng with a capital M for "fierce."
Not seeing Little Tang Jian means it's slow?
Xin Yu hasn't seen Little Chen Yuan either, does that mean we're in the early stages of our relationship?
"Just kidding," Qiu Meng waved her hand and replied, "We're just good friends."
"6, good friends."
"I'm going to read a book."
"Okay, okay."
After speaking, she went back to her seat.
It seemed like the two of them hadn't made any progress in their relationship.
After all, besides the physical flirting, there wasn't much communication between the two sides. And Tang Jian kept saying 4747, as if he was unwilling to be paired with Qiu Meng.
A perverted pervert actually doesn't like this type.
Also, it doesn't seem like Li Yuan Chen and 47 have gotten together either.
Sure enough, being a good match isn't the most crucial element in a relationship.
Events are.
Just like Yu-zi and He Sijiao, the reason for them being together is too logical.
