Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

In an instant, the storm crashed down on him.

Even with his strong physique, he couldn't withstand such a bombardment.

His body was covered in a dense array of wounds.

Ultimately, unable to withstand the intensity of the storms, Gu Yizheng withdrew from his synthetic space…

This match was undeniably exciting…

Surprisingly, the person most frequently seen on the field was Gu Yizheng.

Whether it was Gu Yizheng's perfect synthesis ability at the beginning, or later, when he was clearly no longer able to protect his body properly due to the depletion of his mental and spiritual energy...

But Zai persisted.

This spirit is truly worthy of being the number one in Zhongzhou City, and worthy of being a disciple of Lei She.

The resilience of his mind is also something that Rescher admires.

Initially, people's praise for him was merely superficial, attributing it to his hard work even if he didn't achieve great things. The university admissions offices and his extended family...

They have begun to work together very well, no longer mentioning any particular contestant on the field.

The contestant in question is Zhang Chaoqiang.

Because they were tacitly aware of each other, and were already secretly competing against each other behind the scenes.

And they were constantly scheming about how to win Zhang Chaoqiang over.

As competitors, they naturally didn't exchange much information about Zhang Chaoqiang at that moment.

Instead, the person they mentioned and praised became Gu Yizheng, who had just left the synthetic space!

Although Gu Yizheng suffered considerable physical damage, he walked out of the synthetic space with full confidence.

However, just a few seconds after emerging from his own synthetic space, having endured nearly four hours of mental exertion, he was now in the mental state of the afternoon…

There seemed to be a faint cracking sound...

Compared to the four hours I spent completing seven crystal cores…

The psychological impact Zhang Chaoqiang had on him on the big screen seemed to be far more terrifying than his own perseverance.

In one hour and twenty minutes, it even completed the entire crystal nucleus synthesis.

The stark contrast between her own exhausted physical state and Zhang Chaoqiang's remaining one-third of spiritual energy created a striking contrast.

But the only thing that gradually improved his expression was the conversation between the university admissions offices and the large families.

In order to recruit Zhang Chaoqiang into their forces, they couldn't help but focus their conversation on Gu Yizheng.

Basically, they all hoped that the other party would focus their attention on Gu Yizheng, while also placing their own recruitment intentions on Gu Yizheng.

Suzhou First Martial Arts University: "Gu Yizheng truly deserves to be called a dragon among men. His unwavering mental fortitude and strong control are remarkable. Look, the crystal nucleus he synthesized has no damage to its microstructure whatsoever!"

They even went so far as to bring up Zhang Chaoqiang for comparison, hoping to disregard Zhang Chaoqiang's role...

Wu Family: "That's right, that's right. Compared to Zhang Chaoqiang's short time, Gu Yizheng, who lasted for nearly four hours, is probably a more impressive figure in terms of his own strength!"

It seems that Zhang Chaoqiang has resorted to some opportunistic tactics…

The following sentences even carried a hint of belittling Zhang Chaoqiang.

Just when the entire audience, and even Gu Yizheng, thought they might be looking down on Zhang Chaoqiang's performance this time...

Their calls for recruitment even coincided with each other...

"Zhang Chaoqiang, do you have any interest in joining us?"

Chapter 237 Zhang Chaoqiang Wants to Join Another Family?

They say no, but their actions betray them.

After the first round of competition on the second day, the admissions offices of several universities and three major families unanimously extended olive branches to Zhang Chaoqiang.

When they said those words, they didn't seem to realize that the other person had the same idea, and that they were so in sync.

Subsequently, the admissions office of Suzhou First Martial Arts University, which ranks thirty-fifth in the entire Central Kingdom, took the lead in greeting Lei She, the host of this synthesis competition.

Then he stood up and began to recruit Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, our Suzhou No.1 Martial Arts University is the top-ranked martial arts college in SZ City. As usual, we only recruit students through the martial arts college entrance examination."

However, for this first Zhongzhou Synthesis Competition, our school intends to expand in the field of synthesis. Currently, our school already has a sizable synthesis research center, staffed with more than a dozen top-level synthesis researchers.

We are now extending an invitation to Zhang Chaoqiang. If you are willing, you can reserve a spot now, disregarding age restrictions, and be admitted to our Suzhou No. 1 Martial Arts University!

Subsequently, the admissions offices of the other two universities, Tiansheng Martial Arts University and Jin En University, also showed their sincerity to Zhang Chaoqiang, not to be outdone.

Upon seeing their recruitment, Gu Yizheng, who had been praised by everyone, had his slightly relieved expression instantly dimmed again.

His eyes instantly lost their light.

The final straw that broke the camel's back was not the admissions offices of the three universities.

After all, these three universities, in terms of overall ranking, have always been among the top forty in the entire Central Country.

Although his performance is quite good and he is among the top in the middle, the university he attends, Zhongzhou University, is ranked among the top ten.

The olive branch extended to Zhang Chaoqiang by the admissions offices of these three universities was not the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Instead, they were three well-known families in Zhongzhou City. Their voices were far more powerful than those of the universities that had promised Zhang Chaoqiang resources that ordinary students could not access.

It will definitely be louder.

At least, the mere mention of their names tells people that these three families are renowned and powerful clans even within the entire Zhongzhou City.

Compared to so-called universities, they are places that more people aspire to.

The recruitment efforts of the Wu, Lan, and Lei families towards Zhang Chaoqiang were comparable to those of the three martial arts universities in Suzhou: Suzhou First Martial Arts University, Jin En University, and Tian Sheng Martial Arts University.

It was nothing more than a promise to provide Zhang Chaoqiang with extraordinary cultivation resources and status.

However, the reactions of the other viewers directly demonstrate the weight of the three major families in the Central Kingdom!

"Here they come, they've finally started recruiting contestants. Who would have thought that Zhang Chaoqiang would be the first one to get attention?"

"That's right. I just heard them praising Gu Yizheng and even saying that Zhang Chaoqiang seemed to be taking some opportunistic tricks."

At the time, I thought Zhang Chaoqiang was about to suffer a major setback. Who could have imagined that despite their verbal disagreements, their actions would reveal conditions that were increasingly enviable and astonishing?

The joint recruitment efforts of the three families clearly impressed all the contestants present, followed by surprise and disappointment from the audience.

For example, they also want to use the offspring they have raised to gain favor with the big families in the synthesis competition and then successfully join the big families.

This relationship strengthens their bonds and connections with the extended family.

If this junior performs well in the following period...

Naturally, this would elevate their original family to a new level.

That is their fundamental purpose.

It can be said that this is how a family came to be.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang clearly did not like this relationship.

He disliked living with the burden of his family's so-called honor or disgrace, or interests.

Regarding the treatment reported by the Wu, Lan, and Lei families, those who join a family are immediately given the title of "son of the family"...

In addition, given the privileges of having priority access to all family resources, Zhang Chaoqiang already had his answer.

Off the field, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's voices kept echoing in Lao Chen's ears.

It drove him almost insane.

Shen Qiangwei: "What? Old Chen, did I hear that right? A university actually wants to recruit our Super Strong team ahead of schedule?"

Is this really true, or are they mistaken, or did I mishear? Chaoqiang is only thirteen years old! Is he already old enough to go to university?

Subsequently, when the three families extended olive branches to Zhang Chaoqiang, their concerns began to grow.

Zhang Huolong: "They actually let Chaoqiang join their family? We must have heard correctly this time. Can a martial arts family really do this?"

"Super Strong isn't from their family, he's our child!"

The voices grew louder and louder, and Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's breathing became increasingly rapid.

They were absolutely certain they hadn't misheard; someone had actually invited them to their home, which completely baffled them.

Instantly, the families of the contestants and the audience around them stared at each other with strange looks.

They explained to Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong:

"Don't worry, this might be a good thing for your Zhang Chaoqiang! Joining a big family is the lifelong dream of many martial artists. Entering it means having ample resources and a bigger platform."

More opportunities! This is an absolutely wonderful thing, and you should be happy about it!

"what?"

"What the hell are you saying? You're saying our Super Strong joined someone else's family, and we should be happy about it? And that's a completely good thing?"

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were immediately displeased upon hearing this. From their perspective, they still couldn't understand why their child would be happy to join the other family.

Could it be from those so-called endless cultivation resources? Or from an even more vast space?

Indeed, as parents, we should be pleasantly surprised and genuinely happy that our children have better opportunities and space for development.

But what's the cost?

If the price is losing their child, then no matter what, they would never be willing to do it.

Clearly, they have already interpreted this matter as essentially handing the child over to someone else.

Faced with Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's words, some of the contestants' family elders expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to correct them: "Don't you all want your children to be more outstanding? You should know..."

The difference between Zhang Chaoqiang being by your side and being raised in a large family is enormous!

Don't think that he's already doing so well enough; what if he were born into one of the most prestigious families in the Central Kingdom...

Given his innate talent and the resources and foundation of his powerful family, he's likely capable of demonstrating abilities even greater than he currently possesses!

"To hell with it. That's our child, why should he join another family..."

Yes, you might be right. Chaoqiang was born into another so-called martial arts family, so he would definitely be better off than us two ordinary people. But he is our child!
