Chapter 6: Rich Reward

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“How?” The dean asked subconsciously.

There were more than twenty classes and more than a thousand students in the year three cohort.

To find the peerless genius out of all the year three students would be no different from searching for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, based on the surveillance footage from last night, it was obvious that the peerless genius was avoiding the cameras to hide his true identity.

That was why the dean was worried.

Principal Zheng stood up and walked to the window to look at the students outside. After a long while, he continued, “I plan to hold a year three tournament. Any student is at the first level of blood essence and above can sign up and participate. The top ten winners will be heavily rewarded.”

The dean shook his head and said, “Since that person doesn’t want to be exposed, he might not sign up to participate.”

After all, such tests of strength had been held in the past, but that person had never revealed anything.

Principal Zheng smiled meaningfully. “It will be different this time. The minimum reward for the top ten winners shall be 100,000 yuan.”

“What? 100,000 yuan?”

The dean was shocked. In all the previous tournaments, the prize for first place had only been 10,000 yuan.

Now even the tenth place was guaranteed 100,000 yuan.

This was definitely a bold move!

“Yes, 100,000 yuan.” Principal Zheng smiled like a cunning fox. “As long as that super-genius is interested in the reward, he will definitely participate.”

The dean understood and immediately flattered, “Very wise, principal.”

Principal Zheng laughed.

The minimum reward was 100,000 yuan. He did not believe that the peerless genius would not be tempted!

…

Under the deliberate promotion of the school leaders, the news of the Strength Tournament soon spread like wildfire throughout every class of the third-year cohort.

The twenty-three classes went wild.

“Oh my god! The rewards for this tournament are too generous!”

“The first place will be rewarded with 300,000 yuan! The remaining of the top five will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan, and the sixth to tenth place will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan. This is simply unprecedented!”

“Is the school crazy? Or did they sell the testing equipment?”

“No, I want to participate too. What if I make it to the top ten!”

“You? Come on, let’s just stick to being bystanders.”

…

The year three students were no longer in the mood to attend classes. Everyone was talking about the tournament. The minimum reward of 100,000 yuan excited every student.

After all, in the city, 100,000 yuan was enough for an ordinary family to live for a year or two.

Grade 12 Class 4.

Similarly, many students were discussing heatedly. Even an outstanding student like Xu Ling joined in the discussion.

“Xu Ling, it looks like you’re going to get first place this time. 300,000 yuan! I’m so envious!” A fat girl sitting next to Xu Ling said enviously.

Xu Ling quickly shook her head. “If the super-genius from last night attended, I definitely won’t be able to get first place.”

“That’s true!” The fat girl suddenly understood and thoughtfully said, “In that case, the school seems to have specially organized this tournament for that genius.”

“Most likely.” Xu Ling nodded in agreement.

“If you can’t get the first place, the second place will definitely be yours. It’s at least 200,000 yuan,” the fat girl said with a smile.

“I hope I can get second place. The tournament will be fierce this time.” Xu Ling smiled. 200,000 yuan was enough to tempt even someone with her family background.

Zhou Hao listened to the discussion between Xu Ling and her tablemate, and his heart stirred.

Actually, the moment he heard this news, he had vaguely guessed that the school leaders had specially organized this tournament just for him.

The reward for the first place was 300,000 yuan. For someone who desperately needed money, this was definitely a huge sum.

Zhou Hao was tempted the moment he heard the sum, but after he calmed down and thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Once he participated, it would not take much effort for him to obtain first place.

However, it would also undoubtedly reveal him as the student who sneaked into the training hall last night.

At that time, it would definitely attract the attention of the school leaders and even the big shots of the city.

Although this would allow him to obtain a lot of cultivation resources, it would also attract the attention of the foreign races!

This was the scariest!

Regardless of whether it was the Demon Race, Insect Race, or Machine Race, they all had their sources to gain intelligence on the humans of Planet Earth. If they found a peerless genius like him, they would eliminate him at all costs!

Every time the history teacher gave a lecture about the humiliation the humans on Planet Earth had suffered for more than a hundred years, Zhou Hao would feel sorry for those dazzling geniuses who had been killed by the foreign races before they could even grow up.

Zhou Hao felt like calluses were growing in his ears every time he heard that lecture. However, at this moment, he was extremely glad towards his history teacher.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have realized the danger he was in.

It seemed that the school leaders had underestimated his ability with this move.

“I definitely can’t sign up to participate…” Zhou Hao reminded himself. But this time, the rewards for the top ten were too generous and he didn’t want to waste the opportunity either.

After giving it some thought, his eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a brilliant idea.
