Chapter 48: The Third Round of Assessment

When Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi returned to the hotel, they were all still wanting more.

Today they experienced what it felt like to be the stars of the show. Even the usually silent Lu Zi couldn't help but hum a song when he came back.

"Teacher Geng." As soon as Fang Chong came back, he knocked on Geng Qianxing's door.

Geng Qianxing didn't open the door, but the doors of the two adjacent rooms opened.

"Don't knock anymore, Teacher Geng is not there, he should have gone out." Li Wanran poked her head out and said.

"Right, we also went to knock just now, and there was no response." Lu Zi nodded.

"Go back to sleep, get some rest, we still have the third round of assessment tomorrow." Seeing this, Fang Chong could only let Li Wanran and Lu Zi go back to their rooms to rest.

Saying rest is actually returning to the room to cultivate the Qianluo Gene Art.

The Qianluo Gene Art can quickly make people enter meditation, and strengthen their internal breath and expand their meridians.

Early the next morning, Li Wanran and the three came out in high spirits.

"Something is not right. Usually, Teacher Geng comes out earlier than us, and he would take the initiative to call us. Today is the third round of assessment, how come there is no news from Teacher Geng until now?"

Lu Zi was the first to discover the unusual.

Fang Chong knocked on Geng Qianxing's door again, but no one came out.

"I'll go get the room card." Li Wanran hurried downstairs.

They all felt that something was not right.

Not long after, Li Wanran brought Geng Qianxing's room card.

For the hotel front desk, Li Wanran and the others are the stars of the hotel.

These four people made the name of the Tinghuan Hotel rise to a higher level, and it has already ranked among the most famous hotels in Puhai.

So when Li Wanran went to get Geng Qianxing's room card, the front desk didn't even ask.

Opening Geng Qianxing's room, Geng Qianxing was not in the room, but his things were all still there.

Fang Chong walked to Geng Qianxing's bedside table in a few steps and picked up a wallet.

"This is Teacher Geng's wallet. Teacher Geng wouldn't go out without his wallet, right? Wait, there is a letter here." Fang Chong picked up the letter on the coffee table again.

"His phone is also not here." Lu Zi picked up a phone from the table.

"Could Teacher Geng have had an accident?" Li Wanran began to worry.

The three of them were silent, and no one proposed to call the police.

Because they probably knew what had happened.

After Teacher Ding left, the Gene Alliance issued a wanted poster for Teacher Ding, and Teacher Geng was a bit absent-minded at that time.

"Could it be that the Gene Alliance took Teacher Geng away?" Fang Chong said.

"That should be right, it was the Gene Alliance that took Teacher Geng away. Do you remember what Teacher Geng told us a few days ago?" Li Wanran said.

Fang Chong and Lu Zi both nodded.

A few days ago, Geng Qianxing told them that if he suddenly left, they shouldn't worry and should continue to participate in the assessment well.

"Regardless, Teacher Ding and Teacher Geng's affairs are not something we can intervene in. The only thing we can do now is to strive to achieve good results in the third round of assessment." Lu Zi said.

"Right, only by being admitted to one of the ten major academies of Blue Star will we have the qualifications to talk to these people in the future and return justice to our teacher."

Fang Chong clenched his fists.

Although there are only ten thousand people participating in the third round of assessment, there are even more people in the Puhai Martial Arts Plaza.

The first two rounds of assessments only tested genetic potential and the height of possible development, while the third round can truly determine whether these potentials have been partially realized.

In the first few years of the establishment of the ten major academies of Blue Star, there were no third and fourth rounds of assessments.

The reason why the third and fourth rounds of assessments were added later was that before this, many students who tested with heaven-defying potential in the end still became mediocre.

This is because the potential couldn't be developed at all, or it was limited by various conditions, making these potentials as good as nothing.

Therefore, the third round of assessment is crucial, even more important than the fourth round of ring matches.

The third round tests strength, speed, and agility.

This kind of test requires a martial arts foundation.

If a candidate's scores in the first and second rounds are very good, but the third round test is a mess, they still won't be admitted.

In this era of environmental mutation, even if there is no master to teach, as long as the potential is great enough, strength, speed, and agility will not be too bad.

Ten thousand candidates who passed the previous two rounds of assessments entered the waiting area one after another. Compared to before, the current waiting area is empty.

This is the result of reducing the waiting area again; otherwise, ten thousand people would be even less noticeable in these one hundred waiting areas.

When Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi entered the venue, they were still the focus of the entire venue.

However, everyone soon discovered the problem: they didn't see Geng Qianxing.

"Why didn't Teacher Geng come?"

"Where is Teacher Geng?"

"The candidates have all entered the venue, how can the leading teacher not be there?"

People in the crowd kept asking, which really can't be considered a small matter.

If it were said that for the first and second rounds of assessments, the assessment training teacher wasn't there, that would be fine.

After all, it's testing ability and potential; if the teacher is there, they can only encourage the students.

This third round is completely different. The third round is an assessment of strength, speed, and agility.

In this situation, there is a big difference between the teacher being present and not being present.

If the teacher is present, they will remind their students how to explode their strength and how to enhance speed and agility during the test.

Some things, even if said many times, are not as good as a reminder before the exam.

Tan Bei also discovered that Geng Qianxing was not there, and he was anxious.

Before the first and second rounds, Teacher Ding Huan left, and now Teacher Geng also left inexplicably. How can this be?

He wanted to rush into the waiting area to ask Fang Chong and the others, but soon he remembered that he could not enter the waiting area.

Tan Bei, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, grabbed the phone and dialed frantically, but the phone on the other end was unanswered.

Tan Bei stomped his feet and also scolded these three students for not knowing how to say hello to him, the principal, when the teacher was not there.

Isn't this a complete mess?

Inside the assessment area, Li Chuan, the dean of the Guardian Academy, one of the ten major academies of Blue Star, frowned and said, "Dean Nong, this is not right.

Before the assessment at Yujiang University, Teacher Ding Huan suddenly went missing. Now that we have reached the third round of assessment, Teacher Geng Qianxing suddenly went missing.

If there is no problem, I won't believe it even if I die."

The person he was talking to was Nong Yizhen, the dean of the Zhenyu Academy. Nong Yizhen frowned and seemed to be thinking, and didn't answer Nong Yizhen's words immediately.

Sitting on the side was the white-haired Zhang Yongcheng, the dean of the Dahan Yi Academy. Hearing Li Chuan's words, he snorted coldly,

"The Gene Alliance is too much, right? Geng Qianxing is the leading assessment teacher, and we are still in the middle of the third round of assessment."

"Can they cover the sky with one hand? Taking away the assessment teacher at this juncture?"

"This matter, our ten major academies of Blue Star must absolutely not let it go. Otherwise, cultivating geniuses and protecting humanity is a huge joke."

"Old Dean, don't speak carelessly."

A woman's voice interrupted Zhang Yongcheng,

"You haven't investigated, so how do you know Geng Qianxing's disappearance has anything to do with the Gene Alliance?"

"When the ten major academies of Blue Star were established, the Gene Alliance contributed a lot. Don't they know that they can't take Teacher Geng away at this time? So it's better to investigate everything before saying anything."

The person speaking was Qin Qiang, the dean of the Martial Pulse Mountain Field.

Li Chuan said coldly, "Dean Qin speaks with such reason, but Dean Qin seems to have forgotten that you are one of the directors of the Gene Alliance. Don't you know to avoid suspicion when saying this?"

"Li Chuan, what do you mean?" Qin Qiang suddenly stood up.

Before Li Chuan could speak, Nong Yizhen spoke abruptly,

"Let's wait until the assessment is over to talk about anything. The admissions of our ten major academies of Blue Star this time are even more crucial and cannot have the slightest mistake or carelessness."

The time for the third round of assessment has increased a lot. There are only ten thousand people in total participating in the third round of assessment, so the speed of the third round of assessment is also faster.

Geng Qianxing didn't come over, but Fang Chong and the three were not particularly nervous, after all, they had participated in two rounds of assessments.

Fang Chong was the first to be called.

"Fang Chong! Come on."

Fang Chong went in for the assessment, and Li Wanran and Lu Zi were cheering for him.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Chong also clenched his fists.

He is a student, his social experience is still poor, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.

Teacher Ding leaving early, Teacher Geng going missing—vaguely made him know that this is very likely related to the three of them.

Because their three scores were too outrageous, they were targeted by many people with ulterior motives.

If they want to make those shameless things honest, they can only become more powerful themselves.

Think about Senior Yan Xia. When he first debuted, everyone dared to teach him a lesson.

Later, Senior Yan Xia obtained an opportunity, and his strength soared continuously.

Regardless of whether Senior Yan Xia is a true innate or Earth-level, he is now an existence that no one dares to provoke.

If it were Senior Yan Xia who taught the three of them? Would the Gene Alliance dare to move?

So he must become a strong person, let the Gene Alliance know, don't move Fang Chong's teacher casually.

The venue for the third round of assessment has been readjusted. As soon as Fang Chong entered, he saw a hall about thirty meters long and about six meters wide.

On the left side of the hall is a strength testing platform. When Fang Chong was at Yujiang University, he would test his fist strength almost every day.

He naturally recognized this kind of strength testing platform at a glance.

"You are Fang Chong?" Seeing Fang Chong enter, the examiner asked abruptly.

Fang Chong was stunned, then nodded, "Yes, I am Fang Chong."

He was a bit puzzled in his heart. These examiners usually wouldn't ask their names. Even if they wanted to confirm, they would at most report his candidate number.

"Not bad, test speed first, go run ten laps." The examiner praised.

"Yes." Fang Chong didn't hesitate at all and stood directly in front of the starting block of the track.

After adjusting his state, he pushed off the starting block with his left foot, and his body shot out as if shot by a slingshot.

This kind of running test doesn't need a starting gun.

As long as your feet step on the starting block, the system will automatically record the time.

After running ten laps, as long as you are not on the track, the system will automatically display the total time consumed.

Ten laps is six hundred meters. After Fang Chong cultivated the Qianluo Gene Art, this six hundred meters was too easy to run.

After running the six hundred meters, he didn't even pant heavily.

The examiner also secretly praised, as expected of a student who achieved S-rank in consecutive exams. Without internal energy support, it would be absolutely impossible to be like Fang Chong. ===== CHAPTER 49 =====
