“F*ck!”

Lin Bai’s eyes were filled with shock when he saw Xu Kun’s actions.

‘What is he doing?

‘Could it be… That he wants to use his waist strength to smash the alloy?

‘…No way?’

Lin Bai was puzzled.

He saw Xu Kun shaking the alloy straw man with great effort.

When the swing reached a certain extent, he immediately let go and pushed the scarecrow, causing it to fall to the ground.

Then, he sat on the straw doll.

“…”

Lin Bai instantly thought of the posture of the female lead in a certain pornographic film that Xu Kun had sent him not long ago…

‘Is he really thinking of…

‘Don’t!

‘It’s too embarrassing!

‘Your waist strength is indeed extraordinary.

‘But the upper limit is very low!

‘Other martial artists couldn’t even succeed when they used their full strength.

‘How can someone at Mortal Body stage 5 like you do it?!’

It was not that Lin Bai was looking down on his good brother, but this was just a cruel fact.

‘Don’t be a funny guy… Kun…’

Lin Bai could only pray in his heart.

‘Please don’t do the ‘take off your pants and thrust your hips’ step next…

‘If you really do it… You’ll be in the headlines.’

Fortunately, Xu Kun did not take advantage of this opportunity to become famous.

He very seriously took out the ‘screwdriver’ magic weapon from earlier and aimed the tip at the welded spot on the scarecrow’s neck.

Then, he pressed the back of the screwdriver.

Buzz…

The screwdriver started to spin!

Everyone saw this on the big screen.

Lin Bai’s mouth twitched. He finally understood why Xu Kun was so confident.

Xu Kun put all his strength on the screwdriver, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

This power was even greater than a punch of 500 kg.

After all… There was also his body weight.

Under the pressure of the screwdriver, the part that came into contact with the alloy kept producing dazzling sparks.

A few seconds later, the tip had penetrated several millimeters into the alloy, and the gap was getting bigger.

The people in the stands were shocked.

The seeded players who were preparing for the battle were also shocked!

“F*ck! Cheating! This is clearly illegal!”

“F*ck, isn’t he cheating? I protest!”

“I’m really impressed. It’s fine if it’s just a screwdriver, but this screwdriver can actually spin! I just want to ask, if he can take out straws from the scarecrow, does it have anything to do with his strength?”

“That’s right! Without the tool, how could he have broken the scarecrow?”

Many people were unconvinced.

They felt that Xu Kun’s method was unreasonable and not his own strength at all.

However, despite the opposition, the challenge was still ongoing.

In the blink of an eye, half a minute passed. There were only ten seconds left on the countdown.

Xu Kun’s body sank, and the screwdriver in his hand seemed to have broken through the limit of alloy, completely sinking into the scarecrow’s body.

He was overjoyed. He pulled out the screwdriver, then took out a small hook from his pocket and took out a few straws.

“I’m done!”

Xu Kun was dancing with joy like a child.

Lin Bai’s expressions were changing, and he did not know what to say.

‘He has an outstanding talent for not doing things properly!

‘Everyone else is following the rules.

‘You’re the only one who can think of such a method!’

On the contrary, the staff members were once again stunned.

Just like before, they did not know what to test.

The damaged alloy part of the chip created by Xu Kun’s screwdriver had also turned into powder, and it was undetectable!

They could only judge based on whether he could get straws out in the end.

The answer was obvious.

Xu Kun had achieved that.

However, he did not receive everyone’s approval.

The discussion in the field became more intense, and the voices of opposition grew louder.

Facing this situation, Xu Kun just curled his lips.

“It wasn’t stated that this is only a competition of strength, so what if I used my brain to pass? Do the same if you can!”

His sneaky voice spread throughout the stadium.

The seeded players were flustered and exasperated.

‘There’ll be two stages today. Where can we find the time to get similar tools?’

The host was also in a difficult position, so he looked at the school leaders again.

The principal of the First Academy said indifferently, “Student Xu Kun used the rules reasonably and succeeded in the challenge. Everyone should learn from him. Use your brain first before taking action when you encounter a problem.”

Everyone was speechless.

Other than the city leaders, the principal was the most powerful person in the stadium. Who would dare to protest?

Just like that, Xu Kun became the third person to be qualified to go to the Elite Special Training Base.

Even though he did not manage to convince the masses, the outcome was clearly more important.

The selection continued as usual.

In the subsequent challenges, there were no more freaks like Lin Bai and Su Zi who passed easily.

There was also no such weirdo as Xu Kun.

The selection became peaceful again.

Everyone went on stage and gave the scarecrow a good beating, then left the stage and let the staff come on stage for inspection.

Those whose tenacity and strength were lower than 10% would be considered to have passed.

As for taking out straws, it was just a process and not the only standard of judgment.

In less than an hour, the selection round ended.

All the seeded players from the five academies had had their turn.

There were more than sixty people in total.

In the end, only ten people were qualified.

Seven of them were from the First Academy.

One person from the Second Academy was lucky enough to get a place.

The third and fourth academies were completely annihilated.

In fact, they did not even achieve 20% of the alloy’s tenacity and strength.

The difference was obvious.

On the other hand, the Fifth Academy, which was ranked last, had two successful candidates, Lin Bai and Xu Kun, which made everyone sigh.

The principals of the third and fourth academies looked extremely upset. They sat in the stands for a long time without saying a word.

The principal of the Fifth Academy was overjoyed.

It was a stark contrast to the others.

Soon after, the competition began.

In the 2v2 duels, the opponents would be matched by drawing lots. Teams would gain points for winning, and there would be no points lost for losing.

Each person had to draw at least three times, and the top three would be decided according to the ranking of points.

If the third and fourth place had the same points, they would have to do one more round to compete with each other.

It was a very simple rule.

Now that they had obtained the qualifications to join the Elite Special Training Base, no one felt any pressure.

Especially Xu Kun.

When Lin Bai asked him how he was going to fight later, he was nonchalant.

“It doesn’t matter! In any case, I’ll lose, so it’s fine since I’m already qualified.”

“You’re quite open-minded.”

Lin Bai gave him a punch. “When you enter the Elite Special Training Base, you can’t slack anymore. Work hard, and this will be your chance to rise to the top in one step.”

“I think so too.” Xu Kun pinched his chin. “Those who can enter the Elite Special Training Base must be outstanding people from all over the world. They must have prominent families. If I can be fancied by any rich girl, I won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life!”

Lin Bai’s body trembled. “Can’t you be a little more promising?!”

Xu Kun was puzzled. “Isn’t marrying a fair, rich, and beautiful woman the peak of life? How is that not promising?!”

“…”

Lin Bai felt that it was a mistake to speak up.
