Hua Ke added: "Don't look anymore, he's definitely still here. He's the winner of last year, he'll definitely be at the very end."
Jiang Shiyu was left behind, Hua Ke and she were standing side by side, the two of them following behind Yao Yao.
Hua Ke leaned his head over and whispered, "Do you know of the three wonders that are happening in the academy?"
Hua Ke nodded in understanding, "First, what exactly is eighth place doing? This matter was at the top of the rankings. Countless people wanted to investigate it to the end, but none of them had any results. Over the years, many people had been rushing inside, but none of them knew what was going on inside. The eighth location is too mysterious! "
Jiang Shiyu decided not to tell her anything. She knew what was going on inside since she had gone in before. Let her enjoy it.
"Second thing, Cheng Yu finished reading the entire Book Collection Vault in ten years, even without me saying, you already know how bizarre this thing is! At first, no one believed him. In the end, they checked the records and it really was like that. The key thing is that Cheng Yu did not say it out loud on his own, but rather, was discovered by a teacher of the library when he was bored and had nothing else to do while organizing his records. "
"What are you trying to say?" Jiang Shiyu did not understand how to say that Cheng Yu did not take the initiative to say it.
Hua Ke rolled his eyes at her, "I'm praising Cheng Yu, keeping a low profile."
Jiang Shiyu surrendered, "Fine, then what's the third thing?"
Hua Ke glanced at Yao Yao, and his voice dropped, "It's that Bi Qi."
"Every year, Nine Heavens Academy hosts a summer tournament, and among them there is one competition. Ever since he entered the academy, every year, he has always been the winner. Is it a miracle? "
Jiang Shiyu said: "Maybe Bi Qi is really strong."
Hua Ke bitterly clapped his hands, "The key thing is that there are also strong people, but they all lost to him."
Jiang Shiyu became interested, "What competition? Since we're going to this place now, let's hurry up and take a look. "
Hua Ke replied, and the two went over together.
Jiang Shiyu walked over, and she only heard the clattering sounds become louder, and there were also a lot of 'pui'.
Once they reached the center of the circle, there was a wooden board placed in the middle with some things placed on it … melon seeds?
Jiang Shiyu pointed at the melon seeds, "Don't tell me that this competition is about eating the melon seeds!"
Hua Ke looked at her as if he was looking at something, "Jiang Shiyu, you actually know that this is a melon seed! They said this was from the Eastern Continent. I didn't even know them before I entered the Nine Heavens Academy, how did you know that? "
Jiang Shiyu was startled. She had never seen, let alone eaten, a melon seeds when she saw that sharp and thin thing.
Hua Ke's attention was immediately attracted over, and he did not care about Jiang Shiyu's blank stare.
Yao Yao appeared out of nowhere, her little face red, "I walked in, and there's still a competition inside. Let's join in as well. "
Jiang Shiyu asked about the rules.
Yao Yao pointed to the people seated outside, "This is the entrance, whoever wins here will be inside. There are still two selections left, and the final victor will be Bi Qi. Whoever wins this year will be the winner. "
Yao Yao looked at it, "You have to start from the first stage."
Although Yao Yao did not win last year, she had already passed the final stage. She did not need to compete when she entered the first stage, and directly entered the second stage.
This was the first time Jiang Shiyu and Hua Ke were participating, so they had to start from the first round.
Jiang Shiyu did not mind, she reported her name and waited at the back.
The four of them could form a circle. When it was Jiang Shiyu's turn, she, Hua Ke and the two men sat together.
In the middle of the room, there was a wooden board with a small pile of melon seeds on top of it.
On each person's right hand was a cup, about the depth of a forefinger and the width of a palm. Whoever is the first to fill the cup with melon seed shell will be considered to have won.
Jiang Shiyu had never eaten before, she had just seen how others ate.
He first picked up a melon seed and placed it in his mouth. After gnashing his teeth, the melon seed shell began to expand. It was then he used his fingers to brush it away. Then, he took out a melon seed and placed it in his mouth.
Some people ate rather quickly, while others used this method. The melon seeds could not be put into a cup because they had to be directly broken in the mouth. He must have a complete melon seed shell.
Jiang Shiyu laughed, thinking that this method of eating melon seeds was really fun.
Neither she nor Hua Ke had eaten them before, and the other two had been biting on their melon seeds with serious expressions, afraid that the weak and tiny melon seeds in their mouths would shatter.
Jiang Shiyu also picked up a melon seed and placed it in her mouth, wanting to use that method to try it.
The melon seed shell bit open, and in the next moment, its tongue tasted the melon seeds.
Jiang Shiyu took out the melon seed shell, and as expected, the melon seeds inside had already been eaten by her.
How did she do it? Jiang Shiyu stared blankly. She had wanted to peel it with her hands, but how did it end up in her stomach?
She brought out the melon seed shell s and showed it to Hua Ke. Hua Ke learnt their method and ate a few of them, but when he bit on them, the teeth in his mouth broke. He took one and started fighting again.
At this time, a perfectly fine melon seed shell appeared in front of him. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Shiyu and ask in shock: "You ate it?"
Jiang Shiyu nodded and laughed, "Eating the melon seeds isn't that hard."
Before the competition, Hua Ke said to her mysteriously, "It is said that someone stayed in the Nine Heavens Academy for three years, and they are at the first stage of the melon seeds competition every year. Every time they are fully prepared, they practice for a long time ahead of time, but the moment they are on stage, sigh, no, he thinks that people who can eat the melon seeds well are not simple people."
Jiang Shiyu thought about how she had eaten for three years, how she was still able to say such words, and how the people eating the melon seeds were not smiling at all.
But now, she just put it in her mouth and actually ate it.
She laughed and said, "Hua Ke, it's very simple. You put the melon seeds into your mouth and bit into the sharp end, when you suck on it with your tongue, the melon seeds would come out. It's very simple."
Hua Ke listened to her and tried her method, but nothing came out. Ye Zichen continued to use the same method with a sad look on his face. It felt very unreliable to suck it out with his tongue.
Jiang Shiyu grabbed a handful of it, eating while saying, "Hua Ke, what you're doing isn't right, the way you're eating is slow and uncomfortable, even the melon seeds are trapped inside."
After saying that, he chomped down on another melon seed.
Hua Ke was a little surprised. "You're eating melon seeds, and talking to me?"
Jiang Shiyu pinched another melon seed and placed it in her mouth, "Eating melon seeds, if you don't speak, you can call it eating melon seeds."
Another melon seed shell was thrown into the cup.
