Chapter 116 The Tower Near the Water
Early in the morning, teams representing various cities had already entered the stadium to wait.

The huge stadium was packed with people. The stands were already full.

Tang Wulin was at a place of this size for the first time, and he felt dizzy throughout the opening ceremony. Surrounded by people much taller than him, he couldn't even see what was going on. He just stood there for a long time, heard some encouraging words, and then the opening ceremony was over.

The next step is to draw lots according to different entry methods.

These are all done by the teachers, and the students in Class Zero have nothing to do.

The stadium has turned into a sea of ​​joy, and a platform is being quickly built in the center.

"What are they doing?"

Tang Wulin asked Xie Xie who was beside him.

Xie Xie said, "You probably don't know this. There's going to be an exhibition match later. I heard they've specially invited experts from Shrek Academy, and they've spent a lot of money. Their opponent is the champion of the previous generation's seven-man tournament in our Tianhai Alliance. The Alliance is doing this mainly to let us see the gap between us and the top strength. However, I don't think this is the right choice."

Gu Yue, who was beside Xie Xie, asked in confusion, "Why?"

Xie Xie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't this simple? Within a certain range, the gap can be called a gap, and it will have a motivating effect. But if the gap exceeds a certain level, it is no longer a gap, it is called a chasm. An insurmountable chasm will only make people feel frustrated."

After listening to Xie Xie's explanation, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly looked to the side for some reason.

Chen Zhou was still holding a book, sitting quietly in that inconspicuous position and reading.

It seemed that from the beginning until now, Xu Xiaoyan had never seen Chen Zhou without a book in his hand, nor had she ever seen Chen Zhou's strength.

But whether it was Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, or even Gu Yue, who she considered the most powerful and gifted, they all avoided discussing Chen Zhou's strength, as if mentioning something taboo. This filled Xu Xiaoyan with curiosity and even a hint of unease.

"Brother Chenzhou, don't you want to watch the exhibition match?"

Xu Xiaoyan asked tentatively, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Chen Zhou didn't even look up, his eyes still calmly scanning the theories in the old book. He said calmly, "It's just an exhibition match. The outcome has already been decided. What's the point of watching it?"

Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips and continued, "Brother Chenzhou, do you think that if you were the one standing on the stage right now, would you have the confidence to win this battle?"

Before they knew it, Tang Wulin and the other two, who had pricked up their ears, had already turned their gazes towards Chen Zhou openly.

Especially as Tang Wulin, who had the longest contact with Chen Zhou, he was eager to know how big the gap was between himself and the person he had been pursuing for four years since he was six years old.

Chen Zhou raised his head and glanced at the four bored people without paying any attention to them. He just glanced at the arena indifferently and then withdrew his gaze calmly.

Although Chen Zhou did not answer, the four people present could see that it was a kind of contempt.

Next, Chen Zhou did not pay attention to the affairs of the outside world, and even ignored the Shrek members who suddenly appeared. Instead, he immersed himself in his own world.

Xu Xiaoyan was rather persistent, staying close to Chen Zhou, asking him a thousand questions non-stop.

Chen Zhou didn't reject it, but he also didn't want to pay any attention to it.

Although this body is only ten years old, his soul, which has experienced hundreds of years, has already made him understand the world.

It was obvious that the girl next to him was approaching him with a different mission.

The Xu family of Donghai City, as a family close to the water, was also the first family to express its desire to switch sides with the Mecha Chamber of Commerce. As the direct descendants of the family, while enjoying the family's glory, they, the family disciples, also need to support the family's future.

Chen Zhou roughly guessed that this task should have originally belonged to Xu Xiaoyu, but as a brother and sister, Xu Xiaoyan did not intend to let her brother shoulder this burden, so she volunteered to take it on.

Similarly, Xu Xiaoyan was curious about Chen Zhou.

He who looks like a man who does not change his expression when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, or does not blink when a deer walks to his left. He who looks like a man who has thunder in his chest but a calm face!
Xu Xiaoyan heard from her father that such people are impossible to find. They are like latent dragons lying quietly in the water. Usually, one can only feel their temperament that is difficult to ignore when making contact with them.

But such temperament appeared in a ten-year-old boy. How could Xu Xiaoyan not be curious?

"Brother Chenzhou, what are you doing?"

After closing the book, Chen Zhou raised his head and turned to look at Xu Xiaoyan, who was stuttering a little.

Obviously, Xu Xiaoyan still thought that Chen Zhou would ignore her all the time, so she kept asking her questions to Chen Zhou clearly.

But when Chen Zhou really focused his attention on her, she had no idea what to say.

"First, don't call me brother. Second, you have so many questions, why don't you write them down in a notebook?"

“Knowledge is expensive. If someone is willing to give you knowledge, then you should write down the valuable knowledge.”

Chen Zhou spoke seriously.

He didn't care about Xu Xiaoyan's purpose, nor did he care whether the so-called Xu family was truly committed to the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce. For Chen Zhou, the choices made by these families were merely the result of a balance of interests, and he was more concerned about how to seize the initiative in this game.

Although Xu Xiaoyan's approach came with a family mission, Chen Zhou didn't object. On the contrary, he saw it as an opportunity, a chance for the Xu family and other waiting forces to see the true strength of the Mechanical Beast Chamber of Commerce.

And at least Xu Xiaoyan's doubts and desire for knowledge were not fake, as if he was really a diligent student who was thirsty for knowledge.

Coincidentally, in his previous life, Chen Zhou was a real mentor before he was expelled from the Supreme Hall.

Teaching, educating and answering questions, for some reason, listening to Xu Xiaoyan chattering in his ear, Chen Zhou actually missed the past days.

So he began to remind him.

"Oh, oh!"

Xu Xiaoyan was stunned at first, then hurriedly took out a small notebook from the storage soul guide, carefully turned to the blank page, looked up at Chen Zhou, his eyes sparkling, as if waiting for Chen Zhou to continue teaching.

"What do you want to ask?"

Chen Zhou looked at Xu Xiaoyan's immediate reaction and couldn't help but smile and asked.

"I want to know your true strength, Brother Chenzhou, okay?"

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she immediately expressed the doubt that had been hidden in her heart, but then she shrank her neck and looked at Chen Zhou timidly, as if she realized that her first question seemed a bit sensitive.

But Chen Zhou didn't think this was an unanswerable question, but he still frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to ask such a question?"
