Next day, 7:30AM.
Gu Mang brought Bai Sui, Bai Qingqing, and Jiangsui with her.
Gu Si also wanted to go watch the competition.
When they walked out of the villa, they spotted Huo Zhi’s car waiting for them. The Maybach’s rear window was rolled down so they could see Huo Zhi sitting inside.
Bai Sui narrowed his dark eyes slightly.
When the bald man saw Gu Mang, he opened the car door.
Huo Zhi got out of the car. “Gu Mang.”
She was wearing a baseball cap and mask. With her eyes slightly lowered, she walked to the car with both hands in her pocket while ignoring everyone else. Bai Sui opened the car door and watched as Gu Mang got into the car.
Out of courtesy, Bai Qingqing nodded her head and greeted Huo Zhi. “Mr. Huo.”
Then, she walked to the passenger seat while Bai Sui started the car’s engine.
As if he was used to her attitude, Huo Zhi did not say anything. He turned around and got into the car again before instructing the chauffeur to follow Gu Mang’s Brabus.
...
At the Academic Center.
Of the initial 118 teams, there were only 30 teams left.
The spacious competition location seemed rather empty. However, there were many unfamiliar faces at the venue today. They were all here to watch the competition.
The competitions organized by Jijing Island represented an opportunity for the clans to scout for talent. Finally, some of the clan members made an appearance.
For the oral examination this time, the remaining 30 teams would compete one-on-one. The final remaining 15 teams would be ranked based on how they performed during the oral examination.
Things would start with a balloting ceremony first, as usual.
There were not many teams left, so the group allocation was done within half an hour.
Capital University’s team would be competing against M University’s team.
Everyone on both teams stared at the balloting result on the screen in a daze. They seemed to have not expected this result.
“How could it be them...” A guy from the Capital University’s team muttered. “The seeded team from Country K?”
“In the previous debate round, M University totally crushed their opponents. And they did not even send their best student up.” After Qin Yaozhi finished speaking, she exclaimed, “The pressure is huge.”
“We also have our big boss.” One of the guys looked at Gu Mang. “Gu Mang crushed the written exam.”
Qiao You said calmly, “Do you think being first on the written examination means being first on the oral examination?”
After all, at this stage of the competition, all of the questions were at the Masters or Ph.D level. They were largely testing the participants’ knowledge and experience.
“Yeah.” Shen Qianzi said. “Besides studying, Ming Ni also shadows many medical teams and practices medicine. Everyone knows how experienced she is.”
Ming Ni was the genius girl from M University.
...
On the other side.
The professor from M University was confident of victory. However, to be safe, he looked at the girl on his right. “Ming Ni, you are up for rounds one and four.”
The oral examination had four rounds. The results of all four rounds would be added up and the team with the highest score would win.
They had to make sure to send each member out at least once.
For the first and second rounds, each team would have to send three people out to discuss and answer the questions.
For the third and fourth rounds, each team would have to send out one person to answer the questions verbally.
“Okay, professor,” Ming Ni said.
“You don’t have to feel too pressured,” the professor from M University said, “At this point in the competition, no one from Capital University is worthy enough of being your opponent.”
Ming Ni blinked. “What about Gu Mang?”
“She is too young and lacks experience. She definitely cannot give answers that are as comprehensive as yours.” The professor from M University looked at Ming Ni. “She can’t catch up with the resources the school is providing.”
Capital University and M University were slightly distant. Now that most of the teams had been eliminated, everyone was slightly more relaxed now.
Gu Si and the rest were sitting behind Capital University’s team.
On the competition stage, there were 15 electronic answering boards that were placed opposite one another.
Gu Si leaned against the backrest of his chair. “Sis, who is up for the first round of the competition?”
