138: What if I fail to make the list even at SSS level?

Seeing this scene, how could the crowd in the plaza not know that the Teleportation Array was about to be ready!

Therefore, at this moment, the vast majority of people redirected their attention back to themselves, performing final checks on their status.

Instantly, the plaza fell silent!

Only Qin Yu, Chi Tianlin, Fierce Strength, and Nie Yuxi—those absolutely confident in their own strength—were still exchanging final words.

“Brothers, the teleportation is about to begin. Remember what I said earlier: after entering the Secret Realm, be sure to rush to the rendezvous point first. Since we have already formed a team, naturally, only by sticking together can we maximize our strength!”

“Don't worry, I, Chi Tianlin, guarantee that every single one of you will rank in the top forty and enter the Prodigy Special Training Camp!”

As the captain, Chi Tianlin was giving his final instructions to the team members behind him.

“Of course, if anyone is eliminated by a Radiant Beast before we even gather, they are naturally excluded from this guarantee!”

Qin Yu, at this moment, was naturally no exception, except that his voice was transmitted through the speakers inside his mech.

“Let's go in first. Don't worry, since I agreed to team up with you, the agreement is still valid even with random teleportation.”

“After entering, I will try my best to find you. In the early stages, try to be as cautious as possible.”

“Especially you, Qianqian, understood?”

Ning Qianqian: “Okay, Great God Qin Yu, I understand. Don't worry, don't forget my talent is Space Shuttle. I might not be good at fighting, but I can definitely save my own life!”

“Alright!”

Although the method of entering the Secret Realm had changed from fixed-point teleportation for everyone to random teleportation—this was something Qin Yu had not anticipated.

It completely disrupted Qin Yu's plan—unlike Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength, he hadn't considered that the Secret Realm entry might use random teleportation.

However, since he had already agreed to the team-up request!

Qin Yu still decided to continue the team-up.

After all, Li Qiming and Su Yuqing both possessed SSS-level professions, and they were among the most elite of the SSS-level professions.

Qin Yu didn't mind performing such a simple favor to build good relations with them.

Of course, this was only secondary. The most important point was... in Qin Yu's eyes, the energy levels of Nie Yuxi and Ning Qianqian were limited, especially Ning Qianqian, whose energy level was only a pitiful 600-plus euler during the College Entrance Examination.

One was a childhood friend and the other a fellow native; Qin Yu naturally hoped that both of them could secure a spot in the Prodigy Special Training Camp, just like himself!

And to ensure that both of them steadily enter the top forty.

Teaming up with Li Qiming and Su Yuqing was undoubtedly the optimal choice.

After Ning Qianqian finished answering, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Li Qiming and Su Yuqing beside her.

Clearly, neither of them expected that under these circumstances, Qin Yu still hadn't “abandoned” them to fight alone.

“Understood, Captain!” Li Qiming was slightly introverted, but although his reply was brief, anyone could hear the seriousness in his tone.

Su Yuqing, on the other hand, maintained her usual lively demeanor:

“Alright, Captain Qin Yu! Don't worry, I definitely won't be willing to die before you find me. I'm still waiting for you to carry me.”

Qin Yu didn't reply to this; he simply controlled his mech to nod slightly at the two of them before redirecting his attention back to the azure virtual screen in front of him.

He wanted to perform one last check on the mech.

However, the next moment... Chi Tianlin's voice passed through the mech and entered Qin Yu's ears: “Qin Yi, then we'll see each other in the Secret Realm. Although you were the undisputed top scorer in this College Entrance Examination, and it certainly seems well-deserved now.”

“But I still want to try fighting you once, just to see how big the gap between us really is!”

Hearing this, Qin Yu paused for a moment, but quickly recovered.

Turning his head down to look at Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength, a smile appeared on Qin Yu's face as he said:

“Brother Tianlin, if you have that interest, I, Qin Yu, will naturally accompany you to the end.”

However, separated by the mech's exterior, Chi Tianlin naturally couldn't see Qin Yu's smile, only hearing the cold sound emitted by the speaker.

Judging by the tone, Chi Tianlin naturally knew that Qin Yu's reply held no malice.

For a moment, Chi Tianlin glanced at the flowing flame, which was more than twice his height, and couldn't help but say:

“Fine, but getting punched by your big iron lump will probably hurt quite a bit. Remember to go easy on me then and save me some face.”

“Don't worry, I definitely won't embarrass you,” Qin Yu replied, still smiling.

The exchange between Qin Yu and Chi Tianlin did not avoid others.

Their respective teammates behind them heard everything clearly.

However, they naturally didn't utter a sound in response... only Nie Yuxi's eyes flashed with a faint hint of mockery.

And just as the two were speaking, in the plaza,

the enormous golden Teleportation Array's light had reached its maximum intensity.

“Teleportation commencing!” And following another loud shout from the teacher on the stage... the center of the golden Teleportation Array suddenly began flashing continuously.

Correspondingly, the group of Freshmen in the plaza

also began continuously transforming into streaks of golden light.

They shot straight toward the center of the Teleportation Array, and then vanished!

This naturally included Qin Yu and the others... Half a minute later, along with the final streak of golden light disappearing from the plaza.

Immediately, both the veteran students watching beside the plaza and the teachers seated on the stage began discussing among themselves.

In the teachers' section on the stage, a seemingly quite young teacher asked: “It has finally begun. What do you think, if the ranking is based purely on the number of Radiant Beasts killed, will all those Freshmen with SSS-level professions manage to rank in the top 40 and enter the Prodigy Special Training Camp?”

As this teacher asked, the other teachers immediately followed up, speaking one after another:

“Normally speaking, these specially recruited SSS-levels should all be able to make the list... but nothing is certain. It's a Secret Realm, the environment is volatile, and they need to guard against more than just Radiant Beasts. The assessment has never been solely about the students' energy levels.”

“Indeed. But what if someone among these SSS-levels really fails to make the cut?”

“These people are all geniuses of our school. If we really make them go to the Ordinary Class, wouldn't that be a waste of their talent?”
