The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant Novel - Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013: 1013: Picking the Weak Ones

They knew that a spot in the top 16 was their ticket to the Union.

However, this section of the competition was not so friendly for those who were already in the top 16.

They only needed to be quick in the previous round, and with some inkling of luck, they were able to make it into the top 16. However, in this round, they really had to be skillful to remain in the top 16.

This was because they would have to answer all of the questions given by the committee in the shortest time possible. Once the participants from the 17th to 50th place finished answering, they could then challenge someone from the top 16. If both of them answered it correctly, they would then pick the one who consumed the shortest time.

Since no one knew who would be challenged, most of them would prefer to pick those weaker than the rest. So, those from the 13th to 16th became the easy target.

When the first question came out, the 34th participant quickly pressed the button.

“I want to challenge the 16th participant.”

When the Di family heard the number, all of them sat up straight.

Ling Siqi was definitely a famous participant in this competition because of the news that had become viral right before the competition started. Even those from overseas were aware of this Cinderella.

Although Ling Siqi was definitely going to be the young mistress of the Di family, there were still lots of them who were jealous of her and wanted to see her fall.

Ling Siqi remained calm in her seat. She turned toward the participant who challenged her and nodded her head. Ling Siqi did not seem nervous at all, and she was quite the opposite.

Instead, it was the challenger who looked nervous.

She didn’t want to challenge those who have answered two correct questions, so she went to those who only answered one and the one who had the highest position.

She was confident with her skills. The only reason why she didn’t get a higher placing was that she had been careful. She knew she was good enough, and so, she was certain that she would be able to kick down the woman who was going to become the young mistress of a wealthy family.

She knew that Ling Siqi was the most popular person in the competition. Once she got rid of Ling Siqi, she would be the person whom everyone will remember. It was better than winning the competition.

Then, the correct answer was shown on the LED screen. The challenger was a little nervous at first, but after seeing the answer, she let out a breath of relief.

She was the fastest among the 34 participants, and her answer was correct. She did not think that Ling Siqi would be able to give the correct answer or do it faster than her. She had been watching Ling Siqi. Other than the first question, Ling Siqi did not answer any of it, and the first question in the previous round was the easiest one they had ever gotten.

So, the challenger felt that victory was waving its hands at her.

The announcer got onstage and said, “Now, let’s see the answer given by the challenger.”

Everyone held their breath as they stared at the LED screen. The little boy started remarking, “Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong…”

Di Yunxi gently patted his son’s head after seeing how nervous his son was.

“Don’t worry. You have to trust her. She’s the best.”

The little boy felt comforted as he nodded his head. However, his eyes were still fixed on the LED screen to the point where his gaze would have poked a hole through it.

“Correct!”

When the announcer told the result, the challenger then bowed to the audience.

Professor Lu and those from Zhou Da had solely expected that only two of their students would be in the top 50.
