After the registration for the ASR competition was completed, all students from Wen County participating in the competition had to spend half a day every weekend going to the Cultural Palace for training. The lecturers were well-known competition lecturers invited by various schools.

The Cultural Palace used its largest multimedia classrooms to provide classes for the contestants. Nearly two hundred participating students gathered at the Cultural Palace, and the scene was quite lively.

Generally, when registering for the preliminary round, everyone would choose two or three subjects, and continue to study the subject they passed. Yi Jie chose Chinese, mathematics, and physics, all of which are super popular. In order to crush Yi Jie in all aspects, Xu Canxing, this dog-skin plaster, registered the same subjects as Yi Jie.

The first class was math, and Yi Jie found the math classroom with students from the same school. Xu Canxing didn't join them, but chatted with a few people from Wenxian No. 1 Middle School, looking at Yi Jie from time to time, and then laughed. Yi Jie knew with her toes that it was not a good thing, but she was too lazy to argue with a fool.

Mr. Yang, who is in charge of teaching, has nearly 15 years of experience in teaching Olympiad mathematics. ASR focuses more on students' foundation and is not that difficult, so he teaches it with ease.

"Here is a set of test questions. Please do them. I will divide you into groups according to your scores. The class exercises and homework will also be different for each group."

Teacher Yang handed out the test papers one by one, and the students started writing immediately after receiving them. There were students from six high schools in Wen County, and no one wanted to fall behind and bring shame to the school.

Yi Jie took a quick look at the questions and felt no pressure at all. Not only had she done a lot of questions before, she had also covered most of them. Even for innovative and advanced questions, she could come up with solutions in her mind. This was all thanks to the aura of a question-solving expert.

In one hour, Yi Jie completed the test paper quite smoothly. She checked it carefully and found no mistakes, then went straight to the podium to hand in the test paper.

Teacher Yang had an impression of Yi Jie, a pretty girl who listened very attentively in class just now. However, this was a two and a half hour question period, did she really finish it?

Teacher Yang asked doubtfully, "There's no hurry to hand in the paper. There's still more than an hour before the paper collection time. Are you sure you want to hand it in?"

After Yi Jie answered in the affirmative, Teacher Yang took the test paper with some displeasure. This child was serious in class, so why was she so unsteady?

Xu Canxing, who was still busy with the test paper, was secretly delighted. This Yi Jie really thought she was the number one person. Everyone else had only finished half of it, how could she have finished it? She probably couldn't have finished most of it. As expected, without the knowledge in the textbooks, she was nothing.

Teacher Yang looked at Yi Jie's test paper carefully. To his surprise, she had finished all of it! She wrote a lot. Teacher Yang felt better and started to mark the answers carefully. Multiple choice questions... all correct! Fill in the blank questions... all correct! Judgment questions... all correct! ... He marked all the answers, and his mood changed from great surprise to joy. You know, even a child who is very good at Olympiad mathematics can't guarantee a 100% correct rate on the basic questions in such a short time! But Yi Jie did it!

Teacher Yang looked at the last advanced question with anticipation. This was the only question in the entire test paper that had the same difficulty as the National Mathematical Olympiad (CMO). If Yi Jie got this question right, it would mean that she was fully capable of participating in the CMO and gaining greater glory.

This was amazing. Yi Jie actually wrote three solutions, each of which was correct, simple and clear, and no step was redundant.

Teacher Yang's mood has turned into ecstasy. He forgot that he was in the classroom and kept praising: "Great! Great!" Now, Teacher Yang has completely confirmed Yi Jie's extraordinary problem-solving ability, and even expressed some expectations for Yi Jie to pass the CMO and go directly to the international IMO.

Those who were still doing the questions looked towards the podium. What was there to not understand? Yi Jie must have done very well, otherwise why would the teacher be so happy.

Xu Canxing's mood suddenly became extremely bad. How could it be different from what he expected? Because he was too angry, he looked back at the test paper and his mind was blank. He didn't know where to start.

"Student Yi Jie, right? Please sit down first. I have something to talk to you after class." Teacher Yang said to Yi Jie with a smile.

"Okay." Yi Jie obeyed and returned to her seat. She felt an extremely strong gaze on her back. Turning around, she saw Xu Canxing staring at her with red eyes. Yi Jie responded with a playful smile, which made him so angry that he could hardly hold the pen.

When two and a half hours were up, Teacher Yang collected the test papers from all the students. Xu Canxing was reluctant to hand in his paper at first because he still had four or five questions to answer. Teacher Yang scolded him loudly and he handed in his paper angrily.

After informing the students of tomorrow's class time and handing out homework, Teacher Yang ended the get out of class.

"Yi Jie, you stay." Teacher Yang added this deliberately, which attracted the envious and jealous gazes of all the students. Yi Jie must be given special treatment! She only regretted that she could not replace her in person.

Xu Canxing left the classroom with the people from Wenxian No. 1 Middle School with a gloomy face. Someone next to him suddenly said, "Xu Canxing, didn't you say Yi Jie was just a bookworm with a dull mind? Why doesn't she look like that today?"

Seeing the suspicious eyes of everyone in Wenxian No. 1 Middle School, Xu Canxing said with a sullen face, "She must have cheated. Maybe she already knew the questions!"

The people who were traveling with him were not so stupid as to believe his lies.

"I think you can't compare to her, so you hold a grudge and say nonsense! I was wondering how could someone who is praised by the teachers of Wenxian No. 1 Middle School every day be so bad? You are too narrow-minded. No wonder the people in Mingde ignore you."

The people from Wenxian No. 1 Middle School saw through Xu Canxing's true face and, regardless of the friendship they had formed when they competed together in the past, they parted ways with him.

Xu Canxing, who was alone, was furious and helpless. One day, he would let these ignorant people know how powerful he was!

Yi Jie was also confused at this time. She said uncertainly, "Imo?"

"Yes, it's the International Mathematical Olympiad. Have you heard of it?" Teacher Yang asked happily.

How could I not know? This is an international competition, a math competition that brings together all the top talents in the world. Who among the winners in the competition is not sought after by international prestigious schools? Can I participate? Are you kidding? Yi Jie knew that she was a good student in high school. It was true that she worked hard, but it was also true that she relied on the help of the system. At most, she was a little clever. She always thought that there was a gap between her and the real genius.

"I've heard of it, but how can I participate?" Yi Jie said unconfidently.

"Of course you can. Why not? But we have to participate in the national CMO competition first before we can compete in IMO. Yi Jie, you definitely have the ability. You have to believe in yourself. Participating in ASR is the biggest delay for you. You should move to a bigger stage!" Teacher Yang said confidently.

"Well, I have already signed up for ASR, this..." Yi Jie said hesitantly.

"Well, that's nothing. After you pass the CMO preliminary round, there will be a winter camp. If you study systematically there, the ASR questions will be a piece of cake for you!"

After Teacher Yang explained in detail the various benefits of participating in IMO, Yi Jie nodded and agreed to sign up. The direction of this matter is really becoming more and more fantastic.

"I'm just waiting for your consent! Come, go with me now to fill out the registration form and I'll hand it in to you." Teacher Yang excitedly took Yi Jie's hand and walked towards the office.

Yi Jie was still dizzy when she returned home. The CMO preliminary round was in mid-November, and there would be a one-month winter camp after the preliminary round. After that, there would be two ASR exams, both at the end of January next year, and the exam locations would be Beijing. She couldn't go home for several months. Thinking about her full system tasks and the Eagle Squadron's transfer problem... Yi Jie's head hurt even more.
