Chapter 146: 118. Who is the Rookie of the Year?

Gymnasium, second floor corridor.

A group of school leaders stood above, looking down on the freshmen below with an imposing air, waiting for the start of the freshman trials.

The president of the student union, Zhou Xuehong, also came up.

He was there to observe the performance of the new students in the freshman trials and to select suitable talents to join the student union.

“President Zhou, aren’t you being a bit too petty? Just because you were beaten up by Li Yijin on the Martial Stage at the beginning of the year, do you really need to take it out on his brother?”

Upon seeing Zhou Xuehong approaching, Liu Chuanwu couldn’t help but mock him.

Just now, when Zhou Xuehong released the pressure of an advanced-level creature on stage, he specifically targeted Li Moyu below, directly suppressing the latter till his face turned pale, almost suffocating.

Such behavior was too distasteful.

Ma Zhenhe beside him laughed, “Anyone could say this, except you, Liu Chuanwu. You have no right to talk about being petty. Among nearly 20,000 teachers and students of Shanhai University, who can compare to you, Liu Chuanwu, in pettiness?”

“Heh, can that even be compared?”

Liu Chuanwu sneered coldly and then retorted, “My pettiness is only directed at the person involved, never at their family members.”

Ma Zhenhe couldn’t be bothered with him.

As for Zhou Xuehong, he didn’t even glance at Liu Chuanwu from start to finish, treating him like air.

Liu Chuanwu’s popularity in the school was very poor, especially with those from Evolution College. They were practically sworn enemies, each finding the other an eyesore.

“President Ma, I heard your daughter did exceptionally well in the college entrance exam. What exactly were her scores?”

Zhou Xuehong walked over to Ma Zhenhe and stopped, looking at the new students coming and going below while asking nonchalantly.

With a hint of pride, Ma Zhenhe smiled and said, “It’s okay, she just ranked fourth in Capital City.”

“Fourth in Capital City?”

Zhou Xuehong muttered to himself and then added, “President Ma, let your daughter join the student union. I will cultivate her as a future president.”

Ma Zhenhe smiled, “Of course, she must join the student union. In the future, I’ll count on President Zhou to take good care of Xiwei.”

Zhou Xuehong didn’t smile but simply replied calmly, “I will take care of any talent.”

Special care? That wasn’t necessary.

His invitation for Ma Zhenhe’s daughter, Ma Xiwei, to join the student union wasn’t to deliberately please Ma Zhenhe, the president of Evolution College.

He truly saw potential in Ma Zhenhe’s daughter and wanted to groom her as a future president.

Although he was the president of the student union, his authority was no less than that of the president of Evolution College.

Both positions were on the same level, both directly reporting to the university president.

If one were to really compare the status, the student union president’s status in the school might even be slightly higher than that of the president of Evolution College.

After all, both were advanced-level creatures, but the student union president was only in his early twenties, much younger than the Evolution College president in his forties, and his future achievements were bound to be higher.

And greater future achievements naturally elevated one’s current status accordingly.

“What do you think, among the new students in today’s trials, who will become this year’s freshman king, Li Moyu or Ma Xiwei?”

Zhou Xuehong glanced at Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei below, asking the leaders beside him with a voice as unperturbed as an ancient well.

One bald male leader said, “It should be Li Moyu. With a Biological Level as high as Common Tier Five, his physical strength is virtually invincible among the new students.”

A female leader with limbs and chest made of alloy offered a different opinion, “President Ma’s daughter may have scored slightly lower than Li Moyu in the exams, but she successfully underwent Genetic Fusion with the Shadow Night Cat’s genes during the summer vacation, and now her strength is truly not weaker than Li Moyu’s.”

Another school leader speculated, “I still think it will be Li Moyu. Although Ma Xiwei underwent Genetic Fusion, she only fused a small part, so the strength increase is quite limited.”

Besides these three leaders, the other school leaders were also progressively expressing their opinions.

People who were in favor of Li Moyu and those who supported Ma Xiwei were about evenly split.

In the eyes of the school leaders, Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei were the two outstanding students among the new students of Shanhai University, far surpassing the others in overall strength.

Of course, this was only the current stage.

As for who would be the first in the future, it was still too early to say.

After all, school had just started, and Genetic Fusion had not yet begun. Strength could only be judged based on physical prowess.

Once Genetic Fusion began later on, the strength ranking would undergo a major reshuffle.

“In my opinion, neither Li Moyu nor Ma Xiwei will become the freshman king.”

As others analyzed who had the edge between Li Moyu and Ma Xiwei, Liu Chuanwu suddenly interjected.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

One of the school leaders asked with a smile, “Then President Liu, who do you think will become the freshman king?”

Liu Chuanwu blurted out, “Of course, it’s a member of my Tianren Pavilion—Lin Zichen!”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

This answer was indeed humorous.

With Lin Zichen’s physical test data from the college entrance exam, he couldn’t even rank in the top 10 among this batch of freshmen, so how could he become the freshman king?

Was it because he was a member of Tianren Pavilion and you, his big shot, are singing your own praises?

While others were just ridiculing in their minds,

Ma Zhenhe chose to speak out directly, his words laced with sarcasm: “President Liu’s vision is truly unique. With your ability to spot talent, Tianren Pavilion is bound to flourish.”

“Heh heh.”

Liu Chuanwu habitually let out two cold laughs and looked towards Ma Zhenhe, saying, “President Ma, save your sarcastic remarks. I just believe Lin Zichen will become this year’s freshman king. If you don’t believe it, we can make a bet.”
