Chapter 51 The Elite Class's Fig Leaf

Gongsun Ke has the aura of a strongman.

Regardless of whether he is strong or not, he always gives people the feeling of being very strong. This has nothing to do with the tattoos on his body, but rather with the aura he exudes in his every move.

Lu Zhao wasn't very familiar with him, but he had learned over the past two weeks that the man was twenty-two years old and had indeed been involved in gangs before.

Later, he offended the wrong people and was shot to death by several soldiers from the state army. However, the police department's case report stated that he committed suicide after being shot eight times in the back. From then on, Gongsun Ke realized that this line of work had no future, so he turned over a new leaf.

Perhaps the so-called aura of a strong person comes from early experiences, after all, in gangs, it's all about looking tough.

In short, when he walked toward the entrance of the mechanism, everyone felt that this person must be extraordinary.

Xin Li unconsciously crossed his arms over his chest, a defensive posture that indicated he felt a bit nervous, because he had high hopes for Gongsun Ke, after all, he considered him the most promising student.

Click.

Wang Zhao pulled the switch again.

Gongsun Ke rushed into the first checkpoint at a moderate pace.

Swish.

Faced with the rapidly approaching robotic arm, he didn't slow down and take a steady approach like the chubby guy; instead, he used a simpler and more brutal method.

Boom!

He stomped his boots heavily on the ground, dodging the first attack with incredible speed, but as soon as he reached the side, the second attack seamlessly followed.

Boom!

The same method worked again; he was like a kinetic energy projectile, exchanging exponentially more energy for high-speed maneuverability.

What's most shocking is that his movements are very stiff. It's clear that he doesn't have the martial arts routines that Shen Xianke has practiced for many years. Instead, he forcefully speeds up his movements and relies purely on his physical body and reaction speed to avoid damage.

He succeeded; when he passed the first stage, the score was displayed on the electronic screen.

88.

Next up are unarmed combat techniques and short weapons.

Even before he had started to respond, the people in the stands felt that the score would definitely not be low.

Because he didn't use any tricks during the evasion phase, and since he could use physical strength and reaction speed to forcibly evade, there was no reason why he couldn't break the move.

Unsurprisingly, these two items also received high scores of 85 and 87 respectively.

"come on!"

Suddenly, someone shouted something, and the atmosphere among the dozens of students in the elite class became lively.

Regardless of his usual relationship with Gongsun Ke, compared to those aristocratic scions, he was still one of their own. As long as he could make it into the top eight, at least the elite class wouldn't lose so badly.

Xin Li did not stop him; he was focused on watching the scene.

"He has made progress in just three days; his learning ability is really strong."

As a coach, I am genuinely happy to produce such a person, even if it doesn't bring any financial benefit.

"However, there hasn't been enough time to practice shooting, so I'm afraid..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gongsun Ke arrived at the fourth stage and picked up a standard-issue pistol loaded with blanks.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Jamming shot 75.

Da da da.

Mid-range shooting 73.

Gongsun Ke's shooting skills were not bad, but they were far inferior to his martial arts skills.

The difference between these two scores and that of the arrogant little fat boy is quite large. Fortunately, his overall speed is very fast, and his time score reached 91, so after addition, the total score is...

499.

There were only two people in front of them, Shen Xianke and the chubby boy.

"Ah, what a pity!"

"If we had just 3 more points, we would have gotten second place."

"That's strong enough already!"

The new recruits in the elite class had different opinions, but they were all quite emotional.

Chen Qinhu also whispered, "Zhao, this Gongsun Ke is really something. No wonder he only spars with Xu Shu usually."

Xu Shu is recognized as a strong person in the elite class because she is the only one with a special skill. This kind of aura brings a great sense of pressure.

However, Lu Zhao did not think so.

When Gongsun Ke and Xu Shu practiced together, they held back their strength, just like when he practiced with Shi Jian.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the opposite corridor became rather strange.

Old Ji stood upright, expressionless.

However, it is common knowledge that his expressionless face indicates that he was secretly enjoying himself.

Not far away, a female officer wearing glasses had a livid face.

Gongsun Ke's entry into the top eight means that the original eighth place has slipped to ninth, and the original eighth place happens to be her good-for-nothing cousin.

The Cleansing Pill wasn't important, but the loss of his first-class military merit meant that his family's training plan for him had gone wrong from the very beginning.

In this situation, elders are unlikely to argue with a twenty-year-old, nor are they likely to reflect on their own actions, so they will only blame her, the person who led the way.

Among the other local forces nearby, those who were at odds with their family were secretly delighted, while those in the same camp felt a sense of shared sorrow, but on the surface, they all remained calm.

At this moment, Xin Li called out from below, "Next, who's next?"

He was definitely happy.

For Gongsun Ke, the expectation was that finishing in the top eight would be considered a victory, but being ranked third now is already a pleasant surprise.

Reminded by this, the elite recruits who were having a heated discussion quieted down. A moment later, Xu Shu jumped down, her thick, short hair swaying as she landed.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Everyone hugged each other again, full of anticipation, hoping to see another classmate who could surpass the power of their families.

However, Xu Shu only scored 408 points, ranking second in the elite class, but failed to enter the top eight.

"How could this be..."

"He probably had an off night."

The others were puzzled, but Lu Zhao had already guessed the outcome. His martial arts skills were no weaker than Xu Shu's, and he also had special abilities that allowed him to see the true level of skill that others couldn't discern.

Later, Chen Qinhu also went down. As a physical prodigy, he scored close to 90 points in short weapons and unarmed skills, but his shooting was a complete mess, and he still failed to enter the top eight as he wished.

However, he didn't have high expectations to begin with, so he wasn't disappointed this time.

"Zhao, why don't you give it a try?"

After he came up, he said this to Lu Zhao.

"Let me see. If no one else wants to go, I'll go."

Several more people went down to try the challenge, but all failed with scores of just over 300. At this point, everyone finally faced reality.

Gongsun Ke was able to get third place because he is indeed strong, but that doesn't mean that the others in the elite class have a chance. He is the only fig leaf for the elite class.

As for Shen Xianke, who was leading by several tens of points, that was a goal she wouldn't even dare to dream of.

At this moment, the arrogant little fat boy started causing trouble again.

"Forget it, let's go. They only have that one thug they're worth. The rest of the time is wasted."

This time, even the person who had argued with him before remained silent, because that seemed to be the case.

Then there was a thud, and another figure jumped down.

The chubby boy glanced to the side instinctively and saw a tall, handsome young man.

"Hmph, she's obviously just a pretty face..."

He stopped before he could utter the word "pillow," because he noticed that Shen Xianke, who was usually absent-minded, was now staring intently at what was below, as if she were very interested.

Could this person... be something special?

[Qingling Rapier Loading Progress +2%]

[Qingling Rapier Loading Progress +2%]

[Qingling Rapier Loading Progress +2%]

Lu Zhao was completely stunned upon receiving the notification.

What are you doing?

Could she have a crush on me?

He didn't know that Shen Xianke was curious about Zhou Changsheng's identity because she knew he was extraordinary, so she thought that way. It couldn't be called narcissism.

"What are you standing there for? Are you going to take the exam or not?"

Xin Li, standing beside him, spoke in an unfriendly tone.

Lu Zhao clearly has a talent for martial arts, but he carried cement for three days, which is the root of his dissatisfaction.

"Test, test, test."

Lu Zhao gave Wang Zhao a wink, "Wait a minute."

He ran to the entrance in two quick steps, stepping on the line with his toes, making sure he didn't miss a beat, and then gave a thumbs up.

Wang Zhao, who was always arrogant, was completely different from him and even felt a little ashamed.

Damn it, what's the point of fighting for half a second or a second? It's not carefree at all.

Forget it, he probably feels like he has no chance. I already told him, why don't you come and learn some skills from me?

Underpants.

The switch was pulled down.
