Chapter 121 The Third Path (Ch 121)

Zhou Ke was a little confused at first. This test was clearly a [Spade] type, so why was the question “passing a ten-meter-wide cliff”?

When he approached the ravine, he suddenly discovered that there was something above the big crack.

The examination center thoughtfully provided [two paths].

Of course, it all has to do with the use of force.

Two [suspension bridges] were swaying faintly above.

After Zhou Ke slowly approached, a prompt text popped up immediately.

[Spades represent force. “Attack” or “Defense”? Make your choice.]

Zhou Ke noticed that there was not nothing on top of the two iron chain suspension bridges.

On the suspension bridge on the left, a very strange-looking [monster] was wandering slowly on it.

In the middle of the suspension bridge on the right, a huge rock hangs high in the sky.

【Kill the guards, or resist the boulder. 】

The prompt text flashes.

Zhou Ke slowly approached the two suspension bridges, stood in the middle, and thought silently.

……

“Which path will he choose?” Senior Li Hanfeng seemed very excited, as if he was the one taking the exam.

He said to himself:

“I chose [Attack]! I charged straight into the suspension bridge on the left, used the magic card’s ability to knock the monsters away, and cleared the level!” He showed off his bravery back then:

“Of course, there are also many Spade God Cards that focus on [Defense], so some students from the Black Blade Group chose the suspension bridge on the right.”

“Go under the boulder, activate the divine card’s ability to defend yourself, and withstand the impact of the boulder, and you will pass the level.”

Professor Chen Yun said softly:

“As expected of the chairman of the Black Blade Group, he really knows the entrance exam questions for his own club.”

Li Hanfeng pinched his waist and said, “Of course, all the students in our club have to pass this level.”

“After all, we are all masters of spades, so this test is child’s play for us!”

“But…” Li Hanfeng frowned slightly: “Junior brother is not the Spade God Card, so he should not have a particularly strong combat ability, right?”

“Can he… pass the test?”

Knock knock knock——

When the two were guessing how Zhou Ke would respond to this test, there was another knock on the door.

“Please come in.” Professor Chen Yun said.

The person who came in was Zhuang Xingyao.

She also walked in slowly with a stack of information.

“Professor, the Red Heart Group’s spots in the Elite Cup have been finalized. Here is the registration form.”

Li Hanfeng blinked:

“Chairman Zhuang! What a coincidence! You’re here to hand in your information as well!”

Zhuang Xingyao just nodded slightly, said nothing, and gently placed the registration form on the desk.

She inadvertently glanced at the screen out of the corner of her eye.

Zhuang Xingyao’s indifferent expression changed slightly:

“Is this… the entrance examination for the Black Blade Group? The person inside is… Zhou Ke?”

She looked up instantly, staring at Li Hanfeng’s face, her eyes slightly narrowed, with a subtle expression.

Li Hanfeng felt a little scared by this kind of gaze. He instantly understood what Zhuang Xingyao was thinking:

“Hey, hey, hey, what a misunderstanding! I’m not trying to steal your girl!”

“Zhou Ke has no intention of joining the Black Blade Group!”

Zhuang Xingyao looked serious, with his hands crossed in front of his chest: “This is the test question for the Black Blade Group.”

Although Zhou Ke attended her dance, he ultimately did not agree to join the Red Heart Group, which made Zhuang Xingyao feel a little frustrated.

And when she saw this scene today, she understood it instantly.

……It turned out that Li Hanfeng had tricked his junior away.

The criminal was caught red-handed and the evidence was solid.

Li Hanfeng felt increasingly confused:

“Oh, he is taking the Spade test, but Zhou Ke is not… Oh, how can I explain it…”

“Puchi——” Professor Chen Yun on the side was amused.

Li Hanfeng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: “Professor, please help me explain this to Zhuang Xingyao!”

Chen Yun’s frivolous nature was revealed again, and she said playfully:

“Are you two jealous of each other over your junior’s final destination?”

The two chairmen were stunned, then looked at the professor with wide eyes.

“Okay, okay, let me tell you.”

So Chen Yun explained the whole story to Zhuang Xingyao.

“He wants to set up his own club?” Zhuang Xingyao’s eyes revealed a little surprise:

“Three tests, passed one?” After muttering these words softly, she lowered her head and fell into thought.

Chen Yun asked:

“What’s wrong, Xingyao? Do you think Zhou Ke can pass the test?”

Zhuang Xingyao thought for a while, and finally shook his head slightly:

“It’s not impossible, but the probability is very low.”

“His magic card ability does not match the test questions. No matter how powerful it is, it is useless.”

“Like this—” She looked at the TV screen:

“Without the Spade God Card, it would be impossible to kill the monster or withstand the impact of the boulder.”

“Great minds think alike!” Li Hanfeng gave a thumbs up, and then he continued:

“When Zhou Ke comes out after his failure, he will definitely be very sad.”

“By then, if I extend a helping hand again, he will definitely agree to join me!”

Zhuang Xingyao raised his chin slightly: “Don’t even think about it. Zhou Ke will definitely choose the Red Heart Group again.”

Li Hanfeng also pretended to frown and said seriously:

“It seems…the Elite Cup competition will start in this small office in advance!”

“Let’s see who can grab Zhou Ke!” He clenched his fist silently.

Professor Chen Yun said nothing, just smiled.

“Professor, what are you laughing at?”

Chen Yun spoke softly:

“I don’t think either of you can have him.”

“Since our professor has chosen to conduct the assessment in this way after careful discussion, it means that this test is not an impossible task.”

“In my opinion, he can pass the test.”

The two were stunned.

Professor Chen Yun continued:

“You two have very high levels of magic essence and divine cards, and your ability to control the divine cards’ abilities is also very strong.”

“But…because of this, you may have overlooked that some problems can be solved without the use of a magic card.”

She still smiled: “Don’t forget, your junior is from a commoner family. He has no concept of superpowers since he was a child.”

“He can handle this test using civilian methods.”

“Zhou Ke always manages to come up with a surprise victory during the new student testing.”

“This time, he will too.”

……

Inside the examination room.

Attack or defense?

Zhou Ke knew that he did not have any spade abilities and would definitely not be able to cross any suspension bridge.

Even if you try to trigger the Joker Moment now, you may not necessarily draw the God Card you want.

He needs to find another way.

The flames continued to rise, leaving him little time to hesitate.

Suddenly, he looked up sharply.

Neither attack nor defense.

“There is a third way in this assessment.” He muttered softly.

Zhou Ke immediately took a step and walked towards the suspension bridge on the right.
