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

Since he is our child, how can we just watch him leave us?

To be honest, when faced with the choice between interests and feelings, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong's choice will never change; they will always choose their own child.

At the same time, they secretly hoped that Zhang Chaoqiang would refuse.

People are selfish. Zhang Chaoqiang is their child, and they love their child. Naturally, they don't want anyone else to take away the fruit of their love. No one can stand this.

From this perspective, it seems that there is a very obvious gap in cognition between ordinary people and martial artists.

The elders of the family who had been rebuffed by Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were about to lash out and scold the two for being ungrateful.

However, out of respect for Old Chen, they didn't dare to do so.

However, they were not very willing to communicate with Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei.

Ordinary people are just ordinary people; they can never step into the world of martial artists.

Human beings have such short-sighted vision...

The Wu, Lan, and Lei families are among the most prominent families even within the Central Kingdom. Zhang Chaoqiang's addition to them is undoubtedly a great boost to their strength.

At this time, the elders of the three families...

They all seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally glancing towards Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong.

They seemed to be looking at Old Chen, not Zhang Chaoqiang's parents.

At this moment, Tan Yue, who was next to Lao Chen, cast her anxious gaze at the silent Zhang Chaoqiang. She also didn't really want him to join these so-called universities or families.

Like Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, she was also selfish, wanting to keep the other person by her side and not wanting them to leave her.

After observing for a while, the three family elders withdrew their gazes.

"Good, he didn't react."

The three families already knew that Zhang Chaoqiang's family was very close to Tan Yue and Chen Xiucai.

As for Chen Xiucai, he couldn't become a family. His family had been serving as the Grand General of the State for generations, so naturally they couldn't spend their energy on other things.

As for the Tan family behind Tan Yue, they have never extended an olive branch to Zhang Chaoqiang, which is why they are trying to recruit him today.

They knew that Lao Chen and Tan Yue were just close friends, and that there was actually no relationship between them.

Old Chen didn't react.

The Wu, Lan, and Lei families awaited Zhang Chaoqiang's decision.

Flutter, flutter.

In that instant, many people's heartbeats and breathing became increasingly rapid.

It wasn't just Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong who were looking forward to making a choice.

And Tan Yue.

The three families and three university admissions offices awaiting Zhang Chaoqiang's final decision are all aware that the chances of him choosing them are extremely slim...

Therefore, their heart rate is the fastest.

Even Gu Yizheng on the field was the same.

Seeing Zhang Chaoqiang receiving so much attention and expectation, as a recognized genius over the years, he naturally felt a sense of uncertainty and unease.

This feeling stemmed from the change just now, and his mood plummeted to rock bottom.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Chaoqiang shook his head at the admissions offices of the three universities and the three major families.

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to join any faction for the time being. I intend to take the college entrance examination through the normal process... Thank you for your high regard!"

On stage, all the audience saw was Zhang Chaoqiang clasp his hands in a fist salute towards the three major families and the university leaders, before gracefully stepping off the stage!

Clearly, some of them never expected that Zhang Chaoqiang, whose background was so humble, would refuse an invitation and offer of service from a famous family in the Central Kingdom.

Of course, those people only ever look at the purest interests and never put emotions into it; this is a classic example of someone who has become foolish from practicing martial arts.

Some people believe that Zhang Chaoqiang was preparing for the arrival of Xu Shanji, the father of science and technology in the Central Country, who would become a big shot tomorrow.

They kept speculating in their minds: perhaps Zhang Chaoqiang's goal was the closed-door disciple of Xu Shanji, the father of science and technology?

However, Zhang Chaoqiang's goal was never to join any faction.

His only goal is the championship prize in this competition.

Furthermore, those universities were not even among the top in the Central Country, so he didn't even have the desire to learn about them.

Not to mention agreeing to join them.

As Zhang Chaoqiang's voice faded, he returned to the seats where Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong had been.

When his parents heard his refusal, they were moved to tears, but Zhang Chaoqiang's slow approach made them hurriedly tidy themselves up.

"Hehe, that's amazing! The weather's nice today..."

"What do you want to eat tonight? Shall we celebrate?"

Zhang Chaoqiang scratched his head, not knowing what was wrong with his parents; their words seemed to be utterly nonsensical.

The three families and university officials were not surprised that Zhang Chaoqiang rejected their offers.

It was obvious that Zhang Chaoqiang had better options in their eyes, and they didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, such powerful individuals are never so easily recruited.

Then, attention turned to the other contestants, and the competition among them had already begun in the first round of the top 16.

Some of the top ten players, for example

Wu Ma Mengchao from Xinyun City, Dang Zhenpeng from Jiangnan City, and Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City were recruited into the three major families.

To act as an "outstanding mentor for children".

Gu Yizheng, after Zhang Chaoqiang, was the second person to receive an exceptionally high offer from the three major families and three universities, but he refused them all…

Chapter 238 Beihai Qingshan

Until the lunch break ends.

The three major families and the admissions office were still secretly admiring Zhang Chaoqiang's abilities.

However, due to their rivalry, the admissions offices of the three universities currently hold very strong opinions against the three major families.

However, they did not show it.

The reason for these opinions is very simple.

That's because of recruiting players.

The three universities had already gone to great lengths to promise the contestants that the school's resources would be prioritized for them.

And once they join, they are immediately able to enter the ranks of top students in special training programs at universities.

Each year, fewer than one-third of the students can obtain one of these spots.

As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Moreover, their Suzhou First Martial Arts University, Jin En University, and Tian Sheng Martial Arts University are nowhere near as bad as chickens.

They rank nearly in the top fifty among universities in the Central Country.

While it can't be called a phoenix, it also can't be described as a chicken.

In this way, almost a large portion of the top sixteen contestants were recruited by the three major families present.

Among the top 16 contestants, the admissions offices of their three universities had no achievements whatsoever.

Therefore, they had no choice but to settle for second best and focus their attention on the top 31 contestants.

This was barely enough to bring one or two fresh faces to his school.

In the afternoon, the afternoon session of the second day of the "Concentration" competition was basically the same as the morning session.

Basically, they all need to endure the scouring and baptism of the storm while simultaneously synthesizing artificial synthetic crystal nuclei of a corresponding specified concentration.

The afternoon storm was even larger, and the noise it generated would further disrupt the contestants' vision and mental state.

This change aims to make the competition quick and decisive, unlike this morning when it took more than four hours for the final result to emerge.

Therefore, the competition for the final eight spots has already begun.

For example:

Wu Ma Mengchao from Xinyun City, Dang Zhenpeng from Jiangnan City, Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City, and Xiang Yunlian from Jingran City…

These contestants have consistently made it into the top ten in almost every round of the competition.

Therefore, Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City and Xiang Yunlian from Jingran City are the two contestants.

He was not in a hurry to join the three major families.

What they need is more generous treatment and favor. They want to achieve good results before they can combine those results with themselves to complete a perfect answer sheet.

This allows for further negotiations regarding compensation.

In addition, Xu Shanji, known as the father of science and technology in China, will be coming in person tomorrow.

Which synthesizer, engrossed in the art of synthesis, wouldn't want to become Xu Shanji's last disciple?

Even a casual suggestion from the other party is an opportunity that is both desirable and unattainable.

Therefore, Gu Yizheng shared the same idea.

Although he already had Resher as his teacher, it wasn't just him; Resher also greatly encouraged him to be more inclusive and adaptable.

For example, being able to learn a thing or two from a treasure like Xu Shanji, a senior figure from the Central Kingdom, would be an invaluable experience and opportunity.

He wasn't just there for the reward; he also wanted to be seen by Xu Shanji.

By the afternoon, the storm had intensified by almost half its morning intensity.

Basically, the time span in the morning will no longer occur.

At this point, there were only fifteen players on the field, not sixteen.

"Super Strong, tell us the truth, were you really not eliminated?"

Off the field, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei still had some questions in their minds; this was the fiftieth time they had questioned Zhang Chaoqiang.
