"The third-level participant in our class is Zuo Congrong, the specific date of the competition will be notified separately, do you have any questions?" Without waiting for Shenwei to answer, Ye Qiu's loud voice came from the lectern and announced the names of the contestants.

"What? no!" Zuo Congrong said in astonishment.

Except for Zuo Congrong, everyone else seemed relatively calm, as if they were taken for granted. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand, after all, there are all incapable people in this class except for Shenwei, and it is impossible to participate in the competition, of course, there is an exception here, that is, Zuo Congrong. Although Zuo Congrong is also incapable, the fight with the capable in the academy last year was not inferior, even if these news can be suppressed, it is still inevitable that the news will be revealed and spread to the ears of his classmates, which has created the current situation.

"Wait, Teacher Ye, why did you choose me?" Zuo Congrong Xun quickly came back to his senses and asked Ye Qiu.

"To be honest, I don't know, it's what the dean means, if you have any questions, let's consult the dean in person after school, by the way, go to the dean's office after school, and the dean will personally talk to you by name. So, start class now!" Ye Qiu calmly avoided Zuo Congrong's cumbersome questions and returned to the main task in the class.

□□

"Dean, are you looking for me, Sister Ziyuan, why are you here!" After school, Zuo Congrong just entered the office of Bai Ye, and he screamed, thinking that he was talking alone, but he didn't expect that even the president of the student union was here, I really don't understand, how can a little person like himself get the dean's personal conversation.

"Well, okay, since you're both here, let's get down to business!" Bai Ye said as he looked at Zuo Congrong, who had already come in from outside the door.

"Wait, Dean, can I ask Wei Lu why he chose me among the contestants?" After being simply perfunctory by Ye Qiu, this question has been pressed in his heart for more than half a day, which is a great torture for Zuo Congrong, who has a strong curiosity, and he will naturally not let go of the opportunity at this moment.

"Why are you more powerful? What else can be the reason?" Bai Ye replied innocently, as if he didn't understand why Zuo Congrong would ask this question.

"Isn't that right? Our academy now counts the godtail who has just been promoted to the powerhouse, and there are already four students who have reached the powerhouse level, as for the number of strengtheners, there must be more of them, so many people who are much more powerful than me, why would they choose me. Isn't that strange?" Zuo Congrong asked suspiciously.

"So you're talking about this! Let me ask you, do you know the rules of the competition and the selection of personnel?" Bai Ye finally caught up with Zuo Congrong's rhythm and asked this question.

"Rules, isn't it the strongest among the younger generation of the Imperial Capital, and are there any deeper problems?" Zuo Congrong was stunned, a little unclear about Bai Ye's plan, and said what he knew.

"Ha! Forget it, I probably won't be willing to tell you that you won't be reconciled, Ziyuan, you explain it to him!" Bai Ye sighed, making it clear that Zuo Congrong didn't understand the rules of the imperial capital's martial arts competition. At the same time, he also knows Zuo Congrong's character. In front of this lord who will not give up if he does not break the casserole and ask to the end, the best solution is to answer his doubts as completely as possible, and Bai Ye informed Ziyuan as if he was resigned to his fate.

"Hmm!"

"Where to start....... Ah Rong, do you know how to select the contestants?" Zi Yuan thought for a while and asked Zuo Congrong.

"Of course, it's a better choice!" Zuo Congrong said. Since he is the strongest young man in the Imperial Capital, of course, it is ideal to give the place to the top eight of the academy.

That's a good thing to say, but it's not comprehensive. It is to select the strongest of the strong, strong and capable to compete. Shion corrected.

"Wait, the strong are easy to understand, and the strong are reasonable. What does the strongest person at this level of ability want to do?" Zuo Congrong asked in surprise as if he had heard something incredible. Indeed, as Zuo Congrong thought, the strong naturally don't need to explain, and the number of strong people is obviously not enough to reach the number of participants, so it makes sense to select the strongest person from the strengthener to make up for the shortcomings, but the strongest person at the level of the capable person can't figure it out. No matter how you think about it, the strongest person at this level of ability can't beat the enhancer, right?

"It seems that you don't know anything about the rules of martial arts!" Ziyuan heard Zuo Congrong's question, and finally understood how far Zuo Congrong had become, and said with a sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"I'd better tell you about the rules for team selection first!, you say, who will be selected from the strongest in the imperial capital?" Zi Yuan suddenly diverted the topic and wanted to ask Zuo Congrong.

"The strongest must have been chosen among the strong of you. Because the question is too simple, Zuo Congrong is a little unclear about what Ziyuan is thinking at this moment.

"Yes, it will definitely be decided from among the strong, then let me ask you again, what are the graduation requirements of our academy?" Ziyuan asked again.

"Sister Ziyuan, what do you want to say?" Zuo Congrong asked a little confused.

"Actually, not only our academy, but also the other seven colleges are also like this, if you can graduate after reaching the level of ability, how many students do you think there are at the strong level of each academy?"

"There must not be much, just being able to reach the strong level before the age of fifty has stuck countless people, and if you don't graduate when you reach the strong level, the number of people will definitely not be large. Zuo Congrong said as a matter of course.

"Yes, then what do you think is the point of fixing the number of participants to eight, obviously judging the strongest from the strong, but because of the lack of numbers, the strengtheners are added. Do you think the high-level officials of the imperial capital are so stupid about this kind of thing?" Zi Yuan asked as if he was guiding Zuo Congrong.

"Of course not, but why should there be eight people? It would be better to just gather the strong people to duel. Zuo Congrong said incomprehensibly.

"I said, Ah Rong, can't you use your brains more, the imperial capital once every ten years performs martial arts, don't you think it's completely contrary to the culture and majesty of the imperial capital if it's so hasty. Since it is a once-in-a-decade martial arts exercise, of course, it must be held more grandly, so in order to be grand, it is also necessary to know a little brain. Maybe before you came, the teacher told you what kind of competition you participated in, right?"

"Oh, by the way, I was about to ask, what is that third level doing?" was reminded by Zi Yuan, Zuo Congrong suddenly remembered this question.

"The third level is the competition of the ability level, and the second level is the strengthener. The first rank is the strong. Because the realm is different, it is necessary to compete separately, otherwise if you compete in one place, the strongest will definitely be promoted after the most, and others will have no possibility of fighting to the bottom at all, so the competition will be meaningless. If the levels are separated like now, not only can the number of martial arts competitions be increased, making the imperial capital martial arts competitions more grand, but also some young people with more potential can be discovered. Shion explained.

"That means ...... , let me participate in the competency-level competition?" Zuo Congrong finally understood what the dean meant at this moment, stared at the two and asked.

"It's a great help that you understand so quickly! Bai Ye answered.

"What are you kidding, let me compete with someone at the level of an ability, it's too unconventional!" Zuo Congrong shouted.

"What's the use of talking about this now, aren't you incapable, if you compare with the capable, it's good to put gold on your face. Bai Ye said indifferently.

"What the hell is going on with me, you two should know it, aren't you slapping me in the face when I compare myself with the powerful. And is there anyone who can compare with me among the capable people, didn't you say that you want to make the competition look important, what is the point of such a competition without suspense. Zuo Congrong said a little frantically.

"You are wrong, it is because you are incapable that you have something to watch. Besides, I don't care what happened to you before, in short, you are now an incompetent person who doesn't even have ability fluctuations, and in a certain sense, other academies are still taking advantage of us in this regard. In short, you have to participate in this competition. Bai Ye didn't give Zuo Congrong the slightest room to refute, and was so strong that he asked Zuo Congrong to participate in the competition.

"I won't go, I won't go if I am killed, if I let others know the Tao, where will I put my face in the future!" Zuo Congrong also refused without showing weakness.

"Hehe, the young man has a lot of backbone! But it's useless to have backbone, and sometimes you have to use your brain. I don't think you understand your situation, you seem to have made a mistake, what I just said is not asking you, I am ordering you!"

"Order, why should I listen to ......?" Zuo Congrong, who had not yet understood the facts, suddenly stopped before he could even say the last two words. And it was none other than Bai Ye who made Zuo Congrong shut up, it was really Bai Ye, when Zuo Congrong was hard-mouthed, Bai Ye just calmly took out a piece of paper from the drawer of his desk, a document with a handprint and Zuo Congrong's autograph.

Zuo Congrong, who is outstanding in his eyes, can see it clearly, that contract is the "deed of sale" signed with Bai Ye before the holiday, the membership contract of the college student association. While enjoying the rights, he must also fulfill certain obligations, and while exempting the tuition and miscellaneous fees, Zuo Congrong is also obliged to do some tasks for the college. If you use this document to talk about things, Zuo Congrong really has no room for refutation, after all, it is something he signed before. And now, although Zuo Congrong has regretted it to the point of wanting to break the contract, there is no way to do it, because even if Zuo Congrong wants to break the contract, he can't get the liquidated damages at all, and this year's tuition fees......
