Chapter 91 - 91: Give Up, Give Up
On the flag-raising square, the teachers and students ‘hearts became heavier.
Was Liang Shixian’s speech not well written?
Good, of course it was good.
He explained the profound in simple terms and was full of emotions.
However, it was precisely because it was so good that the ‘ordinary’ dangers that Liang Shixian had embellished shocked the students and the teachers.
Yesterday, many students had attended the open-air banquet. Even those who did not attend had seen the videos posted by other students on their WeChat
Moments.
They were all infected by the pure happiness in the video.
Seeing how happy Ji Ruo was, they subconsciously felt that Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian’s combat examination was actually quite easy.
The teenagers ‘fear did not last long. They all yearned for Ji Ruo’s happiness. Some of them even regretted that they had received the news too late yesterday and missed the strange and happy banquet.
At this moment, the only person on the field who didn’t know what had happened at school yesterday was Liang Shixian.
The class monitor had been writing the entire night…
It was true that a large portion of his manuscript was fabricated.
However, because it was made up and Liang Shixian spent a night polishing it, people who had similar experiences were very impressed.
As everyone listened, they fell silent.
” I didn’t expect these two children to be like this in the Myriad Beast Mountain…” Li Bindao sighed.
The principal also sighed.
The truth often hurt people, and the truth was the same.
He should have thought of this long ago. The lucky cases of surviving to the end could not be used as a reference for other students.
Ji Ruo had been so happy yesterday and had told them something in a special way. The teachers had thought that Liang Shixian would be similar to Ji Ruo.
In the end..
The ‘real’ cruel experience would only amplify the fear that existed in the hearts of other students.
The atmosphere in the flag-raising square was getting more and more oppressive.
Liang Shixian’s voice stuttered.
It seemed like he had used too much strength?
His manuscript focused on describing all kinds of dangers. Although each ‘story’ relied on tenacity and unyielding to survive at the end, the tone of the entire manuscript was actually ‘a sharp sword is honed.’
However, the students who had witnessed life and death with their own eyes could only hear the word ‘toughening’. The martial examination was too cruel.
“Eh? Is everyone here?”
Suddenly, a curious voice came from the side of the square.
It was as if something had pierced through the oppressive atmosphere in the flag-raising square. Everyone subconsciously looked in that direction.
“Has it already started? Sorry, I didn’t expect everyone to be here so early, so I went to sell some breakfast. Hehe, sorry, sorry.”
Ji Ruo pushed the cart to the flag-raising platform, parked the cart, and brought Luo Qian up to the platform.
“Ji Ruo!”
Suddenly, among the silent students, someone in the square formation of Grade 12 Class 4 shouted.
“Is what the class monitor said true? Is it really that dangerous during the exam?”
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment and looked at Liang Shixian.
“I’m sorry, Jiruo,” Liang Shixian said apologetically in a low voice, “I seem to have used too much force…
Ji Ruo looked at his self-reproach and the dark circles under his eyes. How could he not know how much effort he had put in?
As a very responsible class monitor, Liang Shixian definitely wanted to motivate the students. However, Liang Shixian did not expect that what the students needed now was not any motivation.
What they needed was to relax.
Liang Shixian was only a teenager and couldn’t cover everything.
He realized that he seemed to have done something bad out of kindness, so he blamed himself.
But it was not a big problem.
“Don’t worry, Class President, everything is under control!” Ji Ruo suddenly laughed. It depends on my performance.”
The white-haired youth faced the crowd below the stage and laughed loudly. “That’s right, what the class monitor said is true! The process was even more dangerous than he had described! He tells you that everything, everything, he spent his thoughts, embellished and polished the entire world!”
Liang Shixian:
Ji Ruo continued,” The class monitor and I had just entered Myriad Beast Mountain when we encountered a group of emerald snakes. Let me tell you, although those emerald snakes were barely a one-star, there were really a lot of them.
As far as the eye could see, there were emerald snakes everywhere on the lawn.
The number of snakes was enough to make one’s scalp go numb.”
“After that, we were chased by the Stinger Hornets until we ran away like rats. Those Stinger Hornets were as big as watermelons, and their stinger was fast and sharp.”
“We were chased by the Nine-eyed Demon Spider, and we saw the patrolling martial artist poisoned and captured by the Spider Queen. He was dying in the nest of the Nine-eyed Demon Spider.”
“The earth vein twist on the third day of the martial examination transported me and the class monitor to the high-level area of the Myriad Beast Mountain.
Students, have you ever seen a giant fish swimming in the sky? Have you ever seen a giant ape that was comparable to a mountain? We’ve met before.”
“As far as the eye can see, there are only high-level demon beasts. Any one of them can kill me and the class monitor with a single breath.”
The students couldn’t help but tremble when they imagined that scene.
It was too terrifying!
“Ji Ruo!” Liang Shixian quickly pulled Ji Ruo back.”
Even his script didn’t go this far!
At most, they would encounter goblins or a large number of slimes… The high-level demon Liang Shixian did not mention a word.
Ji Ruo patted Liang Shixian’s shoulder and said,””Don’t worry, Class President. Everything is under control.”
“Then how did you survive?” asked a student.”
“How did he survive?” Ji Ruo smiled and said,”This is a bit complicated. I don’t think you can learn it even if I tell you.”‘
The students were even more desperate.
“Ji Ruo! Don’t say anymore!”
Liang Shixian saw that some students could not help but start crying, so he quickly pulled Ji Ruo back.
However, he wasn’t as strong as Ji Ruo, so he couldn’t pull her.
“Students, think about it. Are you afraid of that kind of situation?” Ji Ruo struggled. Are you desperate?
That’s right!”
“Fear, fear, cowardice, and despair are all human nature. As long as you are human, you will be afraid.””But I’m afraid I can only wait for my death quietly!” Ji Ruo shouted.”
“When we encountered the Stinger Hornets, the class monitor wanted to stay behind to cover the rear. He wanted to rely on his Iron Skin, which had barely reached the Beginner Level, to block the Stinger Hornets ‘poisonous stingers.” Liang Shixian was stunned.
“In the nest of the Nine-eyed Demon Spider, that patrolling martial artist was clearly poisoned and couldn’t even stand steadily, but she still used her last bit of strength to kill a way out for us.”
“Students. Martial arts is like this, at least according to my understanding. It’s impossible for there to be no danger. I didn’t come here today to persuade you to give up.
This is human nature. No one will blame you.
I just want to say, before you give up, think about those figures who stood in front of you in the Myriad Beast Mountain a few days ago.
Don’t they have family? Would they not be afraid when they faced demons and death?”
The students fell silent again.
“You’re asking me how I survived?””My life was exchanged for by someone else!” Ji Ruo shouted. I’m an orphan. Since I was young, the food I eat, the clothes I wear, the streets I walk on, the smiles I’ve seen…Why did these things exist?
It was someone else’s life that was exchanged for it!
Do you think I can just waste my life?”
“Every brick and every mouthful of hot food in this city was exchanged for by the martial artists with their lives. Of course, you can give up, of course, you can choose to live comfortably.
Before the exam, the principal also said that people would die in the martial exam. If you don’t want to take the exam, you can withdraw. No one will blame you.
Did anyone give up? No, he didn’t.
Then why are you giving up now?
You might not have seen anyone protect themselves with their lives before, but you persisted!
Why did he give up after seeing others sacrifice their lives for him?”
Liang Shixian was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood beside Ji Ruo and puffed out his chest.
He didn’t plan to stop Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo was right.
“If you want to give up, fine. No one will blame you. I don’t want to waste my breath persuading you. But those who don’t want to give up…”
Ji Ruo suddenly said.
