Chapter 762 - Collapse

However, they couldn’t help but think…

If she were a little more humble, even if they lost, they wouldn’t lose too badly.

They had already lost four points. They did not want to become the eternal sinners of Imperial Capital University!

…

The next round began…

Each of them had an answer sheet in their hands. The Imperial Capital University team’s sheets were red, while the Ivy League team’s sheets were blue.

“The first question…” The host introduced the extremely comprehensive question that involved maths, physics, and chemistry. The moment he finished reading it out loud, there was a ding. Everyone looked at the big screen nervously and stared at the words. It stated ‘Imperial Capital University team, Number 15.’

As soon as they saw the words Imperial Capital University, the audience felt their hearts calm down. At least it wasn’t the Ivy League team. However, when they thought about who number 15 was, their expressions gradually changed…

Number 15 wasn’t their king—Senior Jin Lu. It was that first-year junior, Sheng Yang!

“Doesn’t she prioritize personal gains over everything? Why is she snatching the chance to answer so quickly now? Who is she doing it for?”

“Nonsense. I clearly saw Senior Jin Lu press the button just now. If not for her, the chance would’ve gone to Senior Jin Lu. It would’ve been settled then.”

“At a time like this, she still wants to be in the limelight? She’s really delusional. This kind of person is really an unconscious individualist.”

Jin Lu looked at Sheng Yang, who was standing not too far away from him. She suddenly felt a little regretful. Should he not have said those words just now that made her give it her all? He was too rash. He made her only think about snatching the chance from the Ivy League team and forgot that getting the correct answer was also extremely important!

Sheng Yang answered calmly.

Qin Yuan calculated the answer while sitting in the audience. She gritted her teeth trying, but she couldn’t get the answer. She had to admit that there was a huge gap between her and those super geniuses. Because she couldn’t get the answer, she didn’t know if Sheng Yang’s answer was right. Now, she could only place her hopes on Sheng Yang.

She looked at Sheng Yang with bright eyes.

The host kept them guessing before finally annoucning, “Correct!”

She smiled and said, “This student is really fearless. She’s very brave!”

Xue Xue’s gloating smile froze on her face. Everyone was shocked. No matter what, Sheng Yang had gotten one point back for them!

As for those who had said that Sheng Yang was ‘individualistic’ and ‘stealing the limelight’, they felt even more ashamed of their own inferiority. They were too ashamed to show their faces now! She was fighting on the field like a heroine, but what were they doing? They were practically dragging her down.

So… the second time, when Sheng Yang snatched the chance to answer again, everyone was quiet. They didn’t dare to say anything else. Who knew if they would be slapped in the face like before!

This time, Sheng Yang got it right again. It was as though she didn’t need to think at all.

Yates kept coughing, then he looked at the girl’s delicate fair face in utter shock.

The first time could be pure luck, but it was impossible for the same thing to happen the second time. Moreover, the questions would increase in difficulty. This little girl had some ability! He did not dare to let his guard down anymore. He had to be completely serious.

The third time, Sheng Yang pressed the button and snatched the chance to answer again. She got it so easily without even raising her eyebrows.

Yates looked at his own hands, his mentality slightly crumbling.

Not only him, but Jin Lu was also on the verge of a breakdown. He had just said that he wanted his junior to believe him, but in the end, she was carrying the entire team!
