Chapter 35 "A Bunch of Useless People"
Shen Zhuo didn't reply to him.
There was no need, and it was impossible.
Du An just came back from a meeting, saying that the situation on the northern front had been resolved.
Now it was Shen Xuyin and Jiang Yuening who were handling the aftermath.
Shen Zhuo had actually received a message from Jiang Yuening a few days ago, saying that they were all fine and not to worry.
Shen Zhuo also replied that he was fine, and then took a photo of the alpha's back as he was cooking.
The other side replied with an almost identical photo, even from the same angle.
However, the one in the kitchen was Shen Xuyin.
You can't blame Jiang Yuening, maybe the omega genes of the Shen family just didn't include cooking.
Shen Zhuo rested his chin and turned off the phone screen:
"It's normal for injuries in the combat test, right?"
Du An seemed to have guessed something and acquiesced.
"Then that means," the young man's eyes gleamed with cold light,
"I don't have to go easy on them."
When all the candidates arrived at the fighting arena, all the preparations were complete.
The simulated battlefield seven days ago had caused a small number of people to leave the test.
The remaining ones will be divided into groups of twenty.
Engage in free combat, with the final winners advancing.
The number of people advancing will be around 200, and these 200 will undergo a non-elimination ranking, obtaining corresponding scores.
Later, they will proceed to the next mecha test.
Du An had gone to Ares to set up the exam venue the night before, and Shen Zhuo did not tell him about the Xun Qing incident.
In the waiting room, there was a huge electronic clock on the blackboard.
Ai Li sent a message saying his number was Group 136, afternoon session.
Shen Zhuo looked at his own number and team members.
Group 85, Field 16, morning session.
Luckily, there was no Xun Qing.
Otherwise, to eliminate him here would be such a pity.
Shen Zhuo saw that in his team of 20 people, almost all of them were alpha aside from himself.
This was Xun Qing's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Xun Qing must be thinking that he, an omega, no matter how high his rank, wouldn't be able to defeat 19 alphas.
At this time, Ai Li sent a message -
Lizi: I'll go watch your exam later, I feel like Xun Qing will come too, he's in the afternoon session, you'll definitely be the center of attention.
Shen Zhuo: I hope he wins the exam.
Lizi: ?
Lizi: That's too kind of you. That's not like you.
Shen Zhuo: And then fall into my hands.
Lizi: That's more like you, the vindictive young master Shen.
While replying to Ai Li's message, two dialogue boxes suddenly popped up at the top of his phone.
【My Alpha: The chief examiner only participates in the non-elimination ranking afterwards, can I go watch your exam today?】
【1688...: I advise you to heed Qing Qing's suggestion, for the sake of our previous relationship, I can let you withdraw from the exam alive.】
Perhaps it was because Du An's voice sounded so good.
When he was looking at these words, he could actually hear the low and gentle voice.
And his unease.
Du An is always afraid of affecting him.
Or rather, the alpha is always afraid that what he does is unnecessary, or even a burden, for him.
So the alpha is very careful, and even asks if he can come see him.
He's the Supreme Commander, why is he so timid?
"Of course you can."
Shen Zhuo replied in voice message.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhuo looked at that string of numbers.
He first thought about it for a while, then looked closely at the message content.
The attitude and tone were distinctly different.
He sent two words.
【Who are you?】
Then directly blocked.
Closing the phone, Shen Zhuo glanced at the time.
He still had one minute before he entered the exam field.
On the way to the exam field with the examiner, Shen Zhuo saw the alphas he was about to fight against.
He finally understood why Xun Qing and Feng Ming were so confident.
Almost all of them were A-tier alphas, all over 185cm tall.
When the young man stood in the team.
It was like a harmless little rabbit entering the den of ferocious wolves.
The exam field was a section of the Ares Military Academy's training ground for thousands of people, able to support twenty exams simultaneously.
Shen Zhuo and the others had not yet entered the exam field, but there were already many candidates surrounding and watching.
"Look, that omega is the one who sells his ass, no wonder he's so good-looking! Just don't know how he is down there hehe!"
"To be honest, he won't be beaten to death here, right?"
"The entrance exam has a signed agreement, if you die in the match, there's no liability, being beaten to death is what he deserves, since he did that to the Imperial Consort."
"Quick, look, those seem to be all A-tier alphas!"
"Tsk tsk, the poor little rabbit."
"Never mind, I don't want to watch, there's no fun in bullying omegas."
"Hey, look, the Second Prince is also here, he really cares about this young master Shen."
"D-tier omegas should just stay home and have babies obediently, let's see how you survive!"
Shen Zhuo casually swept his gaze over the group of candidates.
He saw Ai Li waving at him from the doorway, and kicking the alpha next to him who was hurling insults.
Next to Ai Li, the smiling and concerned-looking Xun Qing.
Beside Xun Qing was the equally well-dressed and coldly demeanored Feng Ming.
And in the crowd behind, only the head of Liang Yeta was visible.
Shen Zhuo's gaze lingered on Liang Yeta for a second.
His voice couldn't be heard from that distance.
But he could see the shape of Liang Yeta's lips.
—Good luck, be careful.
Shen Zhuo didn't give him much response, just nodded.
These past few days, Liang Yeta had been sending him flowers, gifts, and all kinds of things, all through Ai Li's hands.
But he didn't accept a single one.
Nor did he agree to even meet him once.
He knew, he couldn't give initial expectations to a relationship with no future.
Shen Zhuo looked to the other side.
The person he wanted to see was not there.
"Please enter the exam field, contestants. Arrange your own battles."
The examiner gave each person a dagger of the same model, installed with fatal point substitutes instead of blood bags, and pheromone isolators.
To prevent pheromone suppression between contestants.
The alphas did not say much to each other, just doing their job for pay, unanimously eyeing their target for this exam.
"Hey, little rabbit, how do you want to take the exam? Do you want us to come one by one, or all together? Hahaha!"
The omega stood in the center of the exam field, slowly wiping the dust off the dagger with his sleeve.
The young man's appearance was stunningly beautiful, cold and calm.
Like a cold spring at the peak of a snowy mountain, his brows and eyes were indifferent.
His soft black hair fell down his cheeks, making his snow-white skin glitter in the sunlight.
Those black pupils were half-hidden by his long lashes.
The light was sinking in the hazy eyes.
Spinning the wiped dagger in his palm, he grasped it.
He raised his eyes indifferently: "Together."
Cries of revelry rose up.
Curses, cheers, disdain, encouragement...
Shen Zhuo calmed himself down, looking at the alphas rushing towards him from all directions.
Gradually, everything became inaudible.
Or rather, everything could be heard.
One second.
Leaping high, flipping his body in the air, his posture soft and stretched, the movements clean and crisp, like a dazzling dancing butterfly.
Three seconds.
Swiftly and fiercely, he kicked down two people as he landed, grabbed the wrist of the third, hitting his elbow joint behind his back, then turned around and slashed his throat with the dagger.
Six seconds.
Sidestepping the blades, he disarmed someone, then stuck to his back like a snake, the two daggers pressed against different fatal point blood bags.
Eight seconds.
His agile figure almost leapt into the air, his slightly longer hair covering the calm and murderous eyes coexisting.
...
Ten seconds.
In the entire exam field, there was only one person standing.
Complete silence fell all around.
Only the alpha's joints contorted, their howls of pain.
Ten seconds.
Just ten seconds.
So fast that even the movements of that omega couldn't be seen clearly.
Shen Zhuo waved the dagger.
A trail of blood appeared on the ground not far away.
He coldly, through the crowd, looked at the pale-faced Xun Qing, and the disbelieving Feng Ming.
As the examiner announced the winner in a daze, the indifferent voice was drowned out by the surrounding astonished screams—
"A bunch of useless people."
Please post more of this it is fun for me to read
