Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

Chapter 16 The Grand Master Has Arrived!

Ye Chen shrugged helplessly.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I don't have many friends."

While the original owner of this body wasn't exactly aloof, she was still the type of person who didn't enjoy socializing.

He usually stays in his rented room when he has nothing to do, and has never attended a class reunion.

Given his orphan background, lacking both money and influence, naturally no one wanted to fawn over him or eagerly try to befriend him.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a decent B-level talent, no one would even be willing to talk to him.

Only someone like Liu Ruyan, who only wants to attach herself to the strong, would deliberately approach him.

However, this kind of deliberate effort usually doesn't last long.

"I see a lot of girls like you, why don't you go and collaborate? More people are always better than fewer," Wang Cang continued to persuade.

Li Wan crossed her arms, glanced at the girls who were shouting "Ye Chen, I love you!" but then turned to look at other girls, and said calmly:

"Liking someone is just liking them; it doesn't mean you have to cooperate with them. This is just the college entrance exam. When choosing teammates, you need to find trustworthy people. On the battlefield, no one would entrust their life to a stranger."

Wang Cang sighed: "That's true, but we were classmates for three years, and yet we didn't even get a single one."

"That's normal. Don't let their young age fool you; they're all very shrewd. They know that feelings can't put food on the table, especially the cheapest kind of friendship between classmates."

"Heh heh heh, Ye kid doesn't even have the camaraderie of classmates."

Listening to their conversation.

A few black lines appeared on Ye Chen's forehead.

Hey! Can't you guys stay away from me and talk bad about me?

I can hear everything!

But you know what, their predictions were actually quite accurate.

Not a single person came to look for him.

Even though they knew he had S-level talent and could rely on others, they didn't get a single teammate.

At this moment, Li Wan suddenly frowned and looked towards a corner.

"That kid from the Du family is secretly sending communications to the leaders of other teams. I can't detect the content of the communications, but it's not hard to guess that he's probably trying to isolate Ye Chen."

"It's the Du family again! They keep targeting the nation's S-level talents, are they tired of living?!" Wang Cang cursed angrily.

Li Wan shook her head. "It shouldn't be the idea of the Du family head. Unless they're stupid, they wouldn't do something so self-destructive. It's most likely that Du Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to get revenge on Ye Chen."

She then looked at Ye Chen, her expression grave, "If you encounter any danger during the assessment, you must not be reckless. Just press the call button, and I will come to rescue you immediately, understand?"

Ye Chen nodded.

"clear."

"Um."

Li Wan nodded in relief.

Ye Chen is a rather calm and composed child, not the type to get carried away easily, so she is quite at ease with him.

"Then I'll go first."

"Go."

After saying goodbye to Li Wan and Wang Cang, Ye Chen strode towards the entrance of the examination hall.

The surrounding students automatically made way for him, watching him all alone.

Ye Chen remained calm.

If you don't have teammates, you don't have teammates.

Having a large number of people doesn't necessarily mean they are useful.

Are wolves afraid of flocks of sheep?

soon.

Ye Chen arrived at entrance number 18.

This primeval forest covers an area of more than two million acres!

There are 20 entrances and exits, located in all directions, to prevent students from crowding together and fighting as soon as they enter.

There were only about ninety students at Exit 18, where Ye Chen was located.

Everyone else except him has a team.

More than ninety people all stared at Ye Chen, their guardedness evident in their eyes.

Ye Chen didn't even look at them, and simply stood at the back of the line.

"The assessment has officially begun, with a total duration of 20 hours!"

"Set off!"

With a command from the teacher in charge.

The students immediately rushed into the assessment area like wild horses.

Upon entering the examination hall, one is greeted by a lush green meadow. It is a long walk of several kilometers before entering the forest area, which is where the metal plaques are concentrated.

The others headed straight for the forest.

Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry; he followed behind at a leisurely pace, walking slowly inside.

The more you grab now, the more you'll get in the final settlement.

Conversely, the more cards you hold, the more likely you are to become a target for others, or even be attacked by a group of people.

Without strength, you can't hold your ground.

That's how practical assessments are conducted.

Otherwise, how can it be called real combat?

There are no strange beasts here; the only opponent is the student I've been studying with for three years.

Ye Chen carefully studied the techniques used in previous practical assessments.

Just wait until the last few hours, see who has the most cards, and then just snatch them away.

The prerequisite is that you must possess overwhelming strength.

Not long after.

He then walked to the edge of the forest.

Just as he was about to go inside to look for the metal plate...

"Ye Chen!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

A stern-looking male student carrying a long knife emerged from behind a tree, staring intently at him.

Ye Chen frowned.

He knows this person.

Zheng Xuan.

The sole heir of the Zheng family.

Their family businesses are slightly inferior to the Du family's, but to ordinary people, they are still a powerful force that is far beyond their reach.

Why is he blocking people now?

He didn't even have a single metal plaque in his hand.

Is it...

Ye Chen looked at him suspiciously.

"Did Du Cheng send you?"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xuan scoffed, "What right does that piece of trash have to order me around?"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Ye Chen was even more confused.

If it wasn't Du Cheng, then I hadn't offended him.

I came for you!

Zheng Xuan paced lightly, slowly raising the hand holding the knife.

call!

Suddenly, a cluster of blue flames rose up and enveloped the longsword.

"My tempering talent has been upgraded from top-level C-grade to top-level B-grade under the influence of the talent cultivation fluid! It's only a hair's breadth away from A-grade."

As he spoke, his gaze sharpened slightly.

"I want to know just how big the gap is between me and S-class talent. If you grant me this wish, I will stop bothering you."

Ye Chen looked at his serious expression and shook his head helplessly.

This person has something wrong with their brain.

There are tons of videos online introducing S-level talents, go watch them yourself, why are you looking for me?

Why aren't you saying anything? Are you unwilling to offer your guidance?

Zheng Xuan's face was grim.

"Or do you think my B-rank talent isn't worthy of fighting you?!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that."

"That's good, come on! Let me see what's so great about an S-rank talent!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Zheng Xuan shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
