The audience was cheering in the stadium. The award ceremony began on the stage to celebrate the winner.
Down below the stage, the Vice Chairman announced the result of the bet. To everyone's surprise, Hu Jiutong was the only one who had won. The rest of the contestants had all made a mistake and lost!
"I … am the only one who won?"
Hu Jiutong was astonished. It was rare for him to win, not to mention that he had won!
The others were just as surprised. It was understandable that they had lost, but it didn't make sense that Hu Jiutong had won.
"Hu Jiutong, you have a good eye."
"Fine, fine. I'll give you the skill book later."
The others shook their heads but they didn't feel too disappointed. After all, it was just to liven things up. No one took it seriously. Of course, Hu Jiutong was an exception.
Su Ping shook his head. He was disappointed.
"Should I give you the skill book now?" Su Ping asked Hu Jiutong.
He didn't have any other skill books, but he could copy one or two middle-rank skills of the thunder family with his understanding of the rules of thunder and give them to Hu Jiutong.
That way, Hu Jiutong would be able to teach the skills of the thunder family to his beasts. That was a kind of training skill, just different from the others.
"No rush. You can give me the skill book later." Hu Jiutong was all smiles after winning the bet. He didn't care about the stakes.
Su Ping had no choice but to nod.
The others teased Hu Jiutong for a while. Soon, the Vice Chairman said, "Okay, you can think about who you want to recruit. Same rules. If you all choose the same student, it will depend on your own performance. Let's see who can attract the other student. Also, after today, no one is allowed to settle accounts later!"
Compared to the small bet, choosing students was their primary goal.
The others stopped smiling and looked at each other. They were trying to figure out who the other student was.
"Brother SU, who do you like?" Lv Renwei asked Su Ping curiously.
Su Ping smiled but didn't say anything.
Lv Renwei forced a bitter smile as he realized that Su Ping had learned his lesson so quickly.
The award ceremony had come to an end. With the host's excited voice, it was time for the top trainers to pick their students.
At that moment, everyone's attention was fixed on the nine seats for the top trainers.
…
"That is …"
Somewhere in the audience, an old man and a young girl were sitting in the crowd.
When the two of them saw the young figure on the top seats, they were both stunned and their eyes widened in astonishment.
Was it that young man?
The person he met on the underground train?!
Isn't he a titled battle pet warrior? Why is he sitting among the top trainers?
It was Ji Qiuyu and Ji Zhantang whom Su Ping had met on his way here. Ji Zhantang had brought his granddaughter to the Holy Light Base City to take part in the Trainers' Competition. Unfortunately, Ji Qiuyu had only reached the sixth rank and was eliminated early on. She didn't even make it to the Top 10.
At the moment, they had no choice but to sit in the audience seats and watch the later matches. They didn't expect to see Su Ping, the man who had killed a titled battle pet warrior with one punch.
"He's a trainer?" Ji Qiuyu looked at her grandpa.
Ji Zhantang didn't know how to answer his granddaughter. How would he know what was going on?
That being said, even if Su Ping wasn't a trainer, the fact that he was able to sit on the same level as so many top trainers was impressive.
Ji Zhantang felt lucky that he hadn't offended Su Ping on their way here. That young man's identity was too intimidating.
"Right, I think he got on the train at the Longjiang Base City. Judging by his accent, I don't think he's from the Holy Light Base City. Is he from the Longjiang Base City?"
Ji Zhantang said to his granddaughter, "When the competition is over, let's go to the Longjiang Base City and have a look on our way back."
They had to pass by the Longjiang Base City on their way back. A temporary stop wouldn't affect their return trip.
Ji Qiuyu was a little confused.
…
On the stage.
After the award ceremony, the other two who didn't make it to the Top 3 were invited onto the stage as well. The five of them stood in a row on the stage and fixed their eyes on the nine seats.
They were excited!
Not only the audience, but they were also excited. That was the main reason why they had participated in the Trainers' Competition.
"There are eight top trainers on the nine seats. That's the Vice Chairman …"
Muliu Tusu was standing in the middle. He was tall and handsome. He gazed at the eight people on the seats with eagerness in his eyes.
Beside him, Yu Yundan had a tall and slender figure. Her face was beautiful and clear, and she had the temperament of an ice beauty. At this moment, she was also staring at the eight figures in the seats. Light flickered deep within her bright eyes.
…
"So, let's start with the champion, Muliu Tusu. Anyone who wants to pick him can make a move now."
The Vice Chairman sat in the middle and looked around. He wanted to take in a student but he didn't pick Muliu Tusu. The reason was complicated. Apart from Muliu Tusu's abilities, the Vice Chairman also gave up on him because of the Muliu Tusu's family background.
There were seven people on the left and right, including Su Ping.
After a moment of silence, Lv Renwei said, "I'll pick him."
"Me too."
"Sorry, I'll take him."
Three people said at once.
Lv Renwei squinted his eyes. "You two old farts, are you trying to steal him from me?"
"Hmm, who's trying to steal him from you? He's mine."
"Stop arguing. Just give up now and save some face. He's from the Muliu Family. I have nothing to do with the Muliu Family. He didn't pick me. If he picks you, I'll see how his father will beat him up when he gets back! "
"Cao, you've crossed the line. You're cheating!"
"That's right!"
As the competition for students began, the previous friendliness was gone. No one was being polite anymore.
Su Ping sat on the side and said nothing.
He didn't pick Muliu Tusu so he was interested in watching the show with the others.
As for why he didn't pick Muliu Tusu, there were many reasons. The most important one was that he already had someone else in mind.
Muliu Tusu was the champion and he had shown the best abilities in this competition. That being said, it was just a competition. Winning or losing was nothing. Su Ping was more concerned about the future of the student. He was also concerned about the student's character.
"That's enough. If you have something to say, just say it to him. Let's see what you can do." The Vice Chairman interrupted the argument.
Lv Renwei snorted and said to Muliu Tusu, "Little guy from the Muliu family, do you know me? If you become my student, I can guarantee that you will become a Master within three years!"
His voice was full of confidence. After all, he was at the eighth-rank. Even without a microphone, his voice could be heard.
The venue was in an uproar.
Become a master trainer in three years? How dare he say that!
Of course, only a top trainer would have the confidence to say something like that.
The people on the stage cast looks at Muliu Tusu. Some of them were envious, while some were jealous.
Muliu Tusu was excited, but he didn't say anything. His father had told him that he had talked to another top trainer about where he was going to go.
Another old top trainer snorted and stroked his beard proudly. "Hmm, becoming a master trainer in three years is nothing. I can teach you how to create your own training path. That's even harder than becoming a master trainer. Besides, I can teach you everything I know about the Dragon Bloodline Training Method. That is the best training method available so far!"
"You!"
Lv Renwei was enraged. You're willing to teach me everything you know? How generous!
"Hmm …"
Cao sat in his chair. After hearing what the two top trainers had to say, he said unhurriedly, "Tusu, come to me. Learn from me."
Muliu Tusu looked at Su Ping and then at the other two top trainers. He was both excited and exclaimed. If it weren't for the fact that he had reached an agreement with his family, he would have been willing to become a student of either of the two top trainers. After all, they were top trainers and the promises they had made were tempting.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Muliu Tusu chose Cao Cao.
"I told you. Given my relationship with the Muliu family, what's the point of you trying to compete with me? Why bother?" Cao Cao, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't help but be enraptured after he accepted Muliu Tusu.
Lv Renwei and the other top trainer snorted angrily.
Soon, it was the second person, Yu Yundan.
This time, more people were fighting for Yu Yundan and it was more intense.
Everyone knew about the relationship between the Muliu family and Cao Cao. Therefore, only Lv Renwei and the other top trainer fought for Yu Yundan in the first round. But it was different for Yu Yundan. She was from a major family but her family wasn't close to the other top trainers.
This time, even the Vice Chairman had stepped forward.
