Chapter 1093: Chapter 661: New Members of the Agricultural College

In front of the 48-meter cliff.

“Excuse me,” a male student said to Hu Jingyi, who was waiting in line.

Hu Jingyi was taken aback, not realizing what was going on: “What’s the matter?”

The male student replied, “The 48-meter cliff is reserved for those who’ve successfully completed the challenge. Your spirit is commendable, but it’s affecting our challenge attempts. There are 100 climbing points on this cliff, and with 234 of us who’ve succeeded, it’s already hard to share. Now you’re here trying to take a spot, and it’s unfair to us.”

Hu Jingyi stood in place, dumbfounded.

Actually, he thought the other person had a point; he could uphold the spirit of winning once and keep challenging beyond his level. But the problem was, those who can succeed are already pressed for time and would indeed occupy other’s time.

Then some more students complained: “Yeah, how about you train somewhere else, go to the third checkpoint, practice there for two days, then come back to complete the challenge.”

Hu Jingyi fell silent, looking in Xiao Qi’s direction, but saw that he had disappeared, not knowing where he had gone.

That’s right, how could one always rely on others?

However, going to the third challenge’s 96-meter cliff would help to train climbing skills, but the problem is the texture of each cliff is different, even climbing masters need to plan their routes in advance. If they never practice on the second cliff and don’t know the optimal path, how can they succeed?

Climbing isn’t a simple sport. Initially, if Qing Chen didn’t have a chalk guide, merely familiarizing himself with the route on the Green Mountain cliff would have taken two days.

As he pondered, another student said, “Why don’t you just give up, run and score points, exchange them for God of Thunder, it’s the same.”

The seven students who hadn’t passed the challenge felt suddenly indignant.

Still, Hu Jingyi quietly turned and walked towards the third cliff: “It’s okay, I can understand you all, I’ll go practice elsewhere.”

But just at this moment.

Chen Zhuoqu suddenly asked: “Did you fail?”

This question puzzled Hu Jingyi.

Chen Zhuoqu continued: “In this challenge, as long as you haven’t fallen to your death, it doesn’t count as a complete failure, so you’re still challengers. Remember what Xiao Qi said? Keep moving forward as long as you’re alive.”

At this point, Chen Zhuoqu suddenly looked at everyone and pointed to the 48-meter cliff: “According to the rules, this second cliff isn’t reserved for the successful but for those who haven’t given up, meaning you don’t have the power to ask them to leave. As long as they’re alive and willing to stand before this cliff, they haven’t lost. All of us suffered before the first checkpoint, now seeing these bruised and battered classmates still fighting, we should admire them.”

The challengers fell silent, someone retorted: “They can’t even pass the first checkpoint, challenging the second one is just a waste of time, isn’t it?”

This argument made sense, many agreed: “Giving up sooner is good for them, there’s really no need to waste time here.”

Chen Zhuoqu got angry: “You’re all too selfish! Among all present, I’m probably the most eager to win, but I wouldn’t even think of saying the things you did!”

A student chimed in: “I don’t see them as different from us, everyone here is just embarking down this path, battling together as comrades. I support them staying here.”

“I support it too!”

A tall burly guy laughed: “I support it too, this is a challenge, and you’ve turned it into petty court intrigue. Even with just a challenge you’re excluding classmates, imagine if we were fighting side by side, you’d surely let them down! Brother Hu Jingyi, I admired you before, I’m Zhang HuBao, let’s get acquainted.”

“I’m Liang MengShun, let’s get acquainted.”

“I’m Ye Han, let’s get acquainted.”

“I’m Zhang JunLi, let’s get acquainted.”

More and more people expressed support for Hu Jingyi, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

He remained silent for a while, then smiled and said to everyone: “Thank you, but we’ll still go to the third cliff to train, it’s okay, practicing there is good too. At worst, we’ll just directly challenge the third checkpoint, that way, we train 48 hours more than you. By then, our proficiency might just be higher than yours.”

This rendered Chen Zhuoqu stunned; she hadn’t expected him to be so adept at comforting himself.

Chen Zhuoqu said: “A bit foolish, but indeed quite open-minded and optimistic.”

Hu Jingyi was taken aback for a long time, unsure whether the term ‘King of Rolls’ was complimenting him or mocking him.

Even before he could respond, Xiao Qi approached from afar: “Exciting.”

Xiao Wu, expressionless, pointed at a few people: “You, you, you, you… come out.”

He surprisingly pointed out forty people!

Those students were a bit anxious; they dared to exclude their classmates just because Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu weren’t around.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi and his group seemed to have anticipated this situation, ready to exclude the students with dubious intentions.

Xiao Qi chuckled and said: “All forty of you participated in excluding classmates just now. Back when I was in school, I hated people like you; get out, your challenge qualification is revoked. Also, deduct 20 points per person.”

The forty students skulked away; they weren’t foolish enough to confront Xiao Qi, especially seeing his daily righteous and tough look while practicing on Zhi Lanxing, likely could punch them to death…
