Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

"Wang Yitong, three meters."

The invigilator waved his brush and announced the results. After hearing this, the expectant look in the eyes of a sturdy man instantly dimmed. He wilted like an eggplant hit by frost and walked down from the drum dejectedly.

With this kind of result, it can be concluded that there is almost no spiritual root and basically no possibility of being selected.

Young boys and girls lined up in a long queue in front of the test wooden drum. Some of them did not dare to relax and kept repeating the breathing exercises, striving to get a good result; some of them looked at the wooden drum curiously, wondering if they could use some tricks to increase the distance of the palm strike; more people were whispering to each other, discussing and predicting who would be the runner-up.

The sun was scorching, but the Class A team had not even completed half the distance.

The students who were originally laughing and making noises were now lowered by the scorching sun. The chatter gradually died down and everyone began to conserve their energy silently.

Guan Shanyu was already low on energy, and now he looked even more like a dried-up dogtail grass, leaning listlessly against Li Qi and his group, sticking out his tongue. Yan Ruchen, however, stood upright before him like a pine tree, shielding him from the sun.

This contrast made Guan Shanyu feel guilty. He almost reached out his hand, wanting Yan Ruchen to rest for a while, but as soon as his hand moved, he heard a "ding" sound in his ear, and he quickly retracted his hand.

Forget it, son, just enjoy the sun and supplement your calcium.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise erupted from the team ahead, and everyone looked up. Guan Shanyu and the others also stood up curiously and looked towards the stage. The invigilator waved his hand and announced loudly: "Hu Qi, 19 meters!"

There was a burst of praise and gasps in the team. Everyone cast envious glances at Hu Qi and whispered, "This has to be first place."

"Yes, now there shouldn't be any problem in joining the Heavenly Sword Pavilion."

On the platform in the training ground, in front of the report card, Hu Qi's name tag and grades firmly occupied the first place. His score was far ahead, and the gap with the second place player was almost half. Such a significant gap made the elders in the stands lean forward involuntarily, marveling at the amazing distance that the lime was hit, and then looked at Hu Qi with admiration.

But Hu Qi himself did not show any surprise on his face. He glanced at the people below the stage calmly, gently straightened his robe, nodded to the invigilator in thanks, then walked down the stage with his hands in his pockets, head held high and chest puffed out. He walked to the rest area, sat down leisurely, and crossed his legs.

This young man is truly confident and arrogant.

After thinking about it, Guan Shanyu suddenly felt someone gently poke his shoulder from behind. Turning back, he saw Li Qi's face full of excitement, pointing at the stage and whispering, "Look, Si Hongyin is here!"

Damn it.

Guan Shanyu's eyes lit up immediately. Si Hongyin, that was the first female protagonist in his original novel, a stunningly beautiful woman, graceful and charming, the most beautiful woman in the world. He didn't expect to see this "daughter-in-law" appear so soon. Oh, by the way, according to the plot, Si Hongyin did appear at this time, because...

Guan Shanyu's gaze drifted inadvertently towards Yan Ruchen, who had been calmly gazing at the stage. Noticing Guan Shanyu's gaze, he looked back. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Guan Shanyu's eyes, which were sparkling with excitement. He was immediately surprised, stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Is there something on my face?"

Guan Shanyu pressed the corners of his excited mouth, trying hard to stop it from trembling, but his tone was still meticulous as he said, "No."

As Yan Ruchen looked puzzled, Guan Shanyu turned around and looked towards the stands with an excited smile, but the corner of his mouth stopped halfway.

Because Nima Si Hongyin was standing behind the curtain and couldn't see anything clearly!

Apart from seeing a vaguely visible girl in white standing behind the curtain, whose gender can be determined to be female from her beautiful figure and cascading hair, nothing else can be seen clearly.

Guan Shanyu was a little disappointed, but then he felt relieved. He thought to himself, it’s okay, she will come out soon anyway. There is no need to rush to see the beauty now, there will be plenty of time to see her later.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Qi and the others in front of him whispered to him, "Brothers, get ready. It's our turn soon."

Guan Shanyu raised his head sharply and asked, "So soon? Isn't the A-level team still finished?"

Li Kang pointed to the side and said, "Many people abstained."

Guan Shanyu looked in the direction his finger pointed and saw some students leaving the venue one after another. He was puzzled when Master Yang put his arm around his shoulder and asked, equally puzzled, "Why did they give up?"

Perhaps because their conversation was so loud, the dark-skinned man overheard it. He turned around and looked at Guan Shanyu and the others, saying with a hint of disdain, "These children from aristocratic families are all here for the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. They look down on other factions and have no interest in them. Hu Qi has already hit a score of 19 meters, so those who know they have no hope naturally don't want to waste any more time. It's better for them to go down the mountain and have dinner early. Only some ordinary students are still thinking about trying to qualify for other factions."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and exchanged glances with each other.

Yes, for children from aristocratic families, they either pursue the best or simply give up. Anyway, their family is strong and they can always find a better way out.

Knowing that they lack strength, it is their normal practice to cut losses and change direction in time.

Guan Shanyu and his group traveled all the way from a distant mountain village. Although Tianjian Pavilion was their ultimate goal, even if they couldn't reach that level, being able to enter other factions would be an honor for the Guangda family.

For them, there are often not many choices.

Guan Shanyu smiled softly, suddenly understanding the feelings of his character. A young man from a poor aristocratic family, even after his family's decline, his pride remained undimmed. He competed with a group of rural peasants for a spot in the inner sect, only to discover that Yan Ruchen, the man he had always looked down upon, emerged victorious and took first place.

In this situation, one's heart must be filled with resentment.

Watching the people whom you once looked down upon become more and more successful while you yourself stagnate, or even being ridiculed by others because of your homosexuality, even if you are not born a bad person, there is no guarantee that you will not turn evil in the future.

I just wanted to create a stumbling block for the male protagonist in a cool novel, but unexpectedly, when I was immersed in the story, I had a spiritual connection with the character I wrote. It's really strange. Am I destined to be a cannon fodder?

Guan Shanyu was still secretly laughing at his own imagination, while Li Qi and the others started another round of verbal bullying against Yan Ruchen. After listening to the man's words, they turned around and threw their noses at Yan Ruchen, provoking him: "Hey, little beggar, do you hear me? If you don't have the strength, you'd better get down the mountain sooner, otherwise you'll be pushed two or three meters to death by someone who laughs at you."

Li Kang, Master Yang, and the others chimed in, seemingly finding it amusing. Yan Ruchen seemed a little embarrassed, clutching his sleeves, but he didn't object. He simply whispered, "If I truly have no destiny, I'll go down the mountain."

Li Qi said with a smile: "Where else can you go if you don't go down the mountain? Are you going to stay here and do odd jobs like that?"

Guan Shanyu watched coldly. He did not receive any instructions from the system to join in the bullying. In addition, the hot weather made people irritable, so he did not intend to waste any more words on this matter.

So he came to the rescue and said, "A lot of people have left Team A and Team B. It seems like it's our turn soon. How about we practice the warm-up moves again?"

Hearing this, everyone looked back and found that the team that was endless at first was now only 10 to 20 people in front of them. A sense of tension suddenly surged in their hearts, and they actually let Yan Ruchen go. They quickly started practicing movements on the ground and adjusting their breathing.

When Guan Shanyu turned around, he felt Yan Ruchen's gaze on him. He wondered if he was wondering why he suddenly helped him out. However, Guan Shanyu smiled in his heart. Being fickle and two-faced was his character. What was there to be confused about? He was not OOC.

As the number of students in front of them gradually dwindled, it was soon their turn. However, Li Qi and the others had probably never seen anything like this before. The eager students at the front were all humble, pushing and shoving each other, refusing to go first. The man at the back, seeing this, shouted impatiently, "Are you going or not? If not, let me go first."

Guan Shanyu raised his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Please."

The man wasn't shy. He rolled up his sleeves and strode onto the stage. He took a few deep breaths, then, under everyone's gaze, delivered a steady palm strike.

A white-robed disciple scurried a few paces, picked up a measuring tape, measured the distance, and gestured to the invigilator. The invigilator understood, picked up a brush, and announced loudly, "Wang Tianyang, six meters two."

Seeing this, several people burst out laughing. Guan Shanyu rolled his eyes and thought to himself that he thought he was a master, but he was only six meters tall. Who was he pretending to be so arrogant before?

After Wang Tianyang stepped off the stage with a sullen expression, Guan Shanyu turned around and gestured towards Yan Ruchen, saying, "Go up and practice."
