"Is that your boy?"

"Yeah."

"What a pity..."

"It's alright, at least he's at North Mountain Academy."

"Old Ji, you won't make any friends talking like that."

"Same to you."

The big shot behind Ji Ran, the vice-principal of North Mountain Academy, Ji Ming, was the overall leader of this exchange competition. Actually, a competition like this didn't require someone of his level to show up. The real reason for this was known by those in the know.

As the host, South Ridge Academy, the person who came forward to receive him had to be a big shot of the same level, otherwise wouldn't it be a breach of etiquette? Thus, the vice-principal of South Ridge Academy, Zhang Zhanwei, became the chief representative of South Ridge Academy for this exchange competition.

It is said that the two had a good relationship in the past, and had even been comrades-in-arms for a period of time. This was also the reason why South Ridge Academy sent Zhang Zhanwei.

Originally, they hoped that the two schools would have more exchanges and build up their relationship. After all, although they were a bit far apart geographically, they were both important players in this industry. Graduates from the two academies becoming comrades-in-arms was also very common. Everyone sees each other often, so there was no need to make things unpleasant.

At the beginning, the two watched the competition and exchanged pleasantries, creating a harmonious atmosphere. However, as the competition progressed, Zhang Zhanwei's face became increasingly gloomy.

Until the freshman chief of South Ridge Academy was defeated by the second-ranked freshman of North Mountain Academy, the accumulated small emotions could no longer be suppressed.

Logically speaking, a big shot like him watching a freshman competition was like watching children playing house, and there was no need to get emotional at all. However, this was the first year of the revamped exchange competition, and there were even bigger shots above the big shots, so they had to pay attention to this newly created concept.

But the North Mountain Academy guys actually had their second-ranked guy defeat their chief, wasn't this trying to make them look bad in front of the leaders? If the leaders concluded that the new generation of South Ridge was inferior to North Mountain, and then slightly restricted them in terms of policy support and funding, then he, as the person in charge of South Ridge for this exchange competition, would naturally have to bear the brunt of the blame.

For Zhang Zhanwei, this was definitely an unwarranted disaster.

Originally, he thought that Ji Ming had created all of this. After all, it was normal for them to have some friction when they were young and reckless. He didn't expect this old guy to be so vindictive, and to deliberately disgust him in various ways.

Because he had the contestants' information, he knew the relationship between Ji Ran and Ji Ming. In his opinion, how could a disciple who came out of such resources be ranked behind an unknown kid.

Luo Rui? From Dongmu County, Fengzhou City...

He had never even heard of that small place. Even if a genius was born there, he would need resources to cultivate him.

As the vice-principal of South Ridge, Zhang Zhanwei understood best that talent is talent. There are countless talented people in the country, but how many people can choose the right direction when they are a few years old? Even if they choose correctly, how many people have the ability to continue?

When encountering a difficult problem, searching through forums online, begging grandparents and pleading with grandmothers, spending huge sums of money, may not even find a correct answer. But for others, their uncles, aunts, and distant relatives at home can casually answer the question. Even if they can't answer, they can immediately find professionals to answer the question, or even provide one-on-one tutoring. How can you compare in this situation?

When the children here are still saving money to play on simulation machines, the people there are directly using the real thing. They can play on the simulation machines for as long as they want, and there are also dedicated nutritionists and coaches to regulate their bodies.

How can you compare in this situation?

To put it bluntly, talent and resources are indispensable for a person to succeed, unless the talent reaches a heaven-defying level. If even the heavens are defied, then resources naturally become unimportant.

But that kind of person is the legendary immortal. Immortals are feudal superstitions, so naturally they don't exist.

Zhang Zhanwei used to firmly believe in this statement, because these are the unchanging truths that have been summarized over decades or even thousands of years. But now, Zhang Zhanwei was a little hesitant, because he felt that he had seen an immortal.

This kid named Luo Rui had an ordinary background and an ordinary upbringing. It would be great if there was an internet cafe in that small place, Dongmu County. Naturally, there were no relevant mecha pilot training classes either.

In this case, even if this kid had high talent, how much could he realize?

Originally, he thought that Ji Ming had deliberately ranked this kid first to disgust him, and the purpose was to make his own boy ranked second to make him look bad.

But now, he knew that a person's talent could indeed be high to the point of defying the heavens, to the point of being an immortal who completely ignored any other acquired factors.

This made his mood very heavy. He had to know that this guy had been in school for less than half a year, and there was still a long time before graduation. Didn't this mean that their South Ridge would be undoubtedly suppressed by North Mountain for three or four years?

Fortunately, this kind of heaven-defying immortal is not universal, and has nothing to do with the teaching of North Mountain Academy, so the leaders should be able to be accounted for. Although he still has to bear the blame, it is much lighter.

His heavy mood was relieved a lot. When he saw Ji Ran lose the game like a puppet, just like everyone else, Zhang Zhanwei's mood became even better.

Sure enough, happiness and pain will not disappear, they will only be transferred.

Thus, there was the conversation at the beginning.

Ji Ran's mood at this time was indeed very complicated. He didn't know what the taste in his mouth was, but these things were not for outsiders to know, especially in front of his old partner Zhang Zhanwei. He couldn't lose face.

If Luo Rui was in this place, he would know why his senior brothers and sisters were all people of the Yin-Yang School. It turned out that this was all inherited. Big shots are indeed big shots. Not only are they in high positions of power, but their verbal skills are even more impressive. When they are sarcastic, it is really easy to anger yourself if you don't have the mind and tolerance.

"Luo Rui, you are really amazing. I lost fair and square."

The final was a BO3, in case mistakes led to misjudgments that caused them to lose the game.

After Ji Ran finished the first game, he knew that he would definitely not be Luo Rui's opponent, no matter what method he came up with, it would be useless.

This was an absolute gap in strength, a crushing in strength.

But Ji Ran didn't give up, but planned to do his best to present another identical game to the audience. However, Luo Rui felt that Ji Ran had shown everything that should be shown, so there was no need to show the second game.

So, in this exchange competition, he changed his tactics and play style for the first time. Thus, the second battle of the BO3 ended in less than half a minute.

After the game, Ji Ran didn't show a bitter and resentful expression. Instead, he felt grateful that Luo Rui accelerated the game just to avoid humiliating him.

But he still wanted to know an answer.

"Was that your full strength just now?"
