Chapter 838: Dominating the Competition

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The young girl cried for a while, and after getting comforted by her teacher, she chose not to return to the answering stage. She would settle for fifth place. The underclassman was too terrifying. He wasn’t just participating in the competition, he was the master of it. She was no longer worried about the situation of her junior, Su Bing, but rather, she was concerned about the proud sixth-grade senior who might not be able to step down from the stage gracefully.

On the stage, Su Bing continued his relentless pursuit of points. With every question that was posed, he would answer, taking away the points. He had already accumulated a hundred points, while the other three students had sixty, fifty, and thirty points respectively. The student with thirty points was declared eliminated, leaving only three students on the stage.

The questions that followed would only get harder. However, for the next few questions, Su Bing did not rush to answer. His classmate next to him seized the opportunity to score twenty points, changing his score from fifty to seventy, temporarily ranking second. His face finally regained some color. He had advanced to the second round of the competition with the highest total score. Finishing second was always better than third.

Moreover, the student currently ranked third was last year’s competition champion. If he could beat him, he would be able to report back to his school and parents with pride. This freshly minted elementary school prodigy was indeed a good person. On the day of the award ceremony, he would definitely give him a hug!

The audience below the stage was in an uproar. Su Bing had surprisingly not answered several high-scoring questions. What was he thinking? It was impossible that he couldn’t answer. freēwēbnovel.com

There was only one possibility – the elementary school prodigy was giving away points. True to his reputation, he deeply embodied the principle of “friendship first, competition second”. How cool!

The sixth-grade senior who had been observing others with his peripheral vision still had sixty points, temporarily ranking third. His face was trembling with anger. He suddenly realized that Su Bing was giving away points! This kid was truly audacious.

There was a big question coming up, worth twenty points. He had to get this question. As long as he got it, he would still have a chance to surpass Su Bing.

However, Su Bing would not let him have his way. Su Bing, who had not been rushing to answer questions, beat the other two by a second and snatched the question, scoring once again.

The sixth-grade senior punched the answering board, his body trembling with anger. Su Bing was doing this on purpose. He regretted it now. He really shouldn’t have listened to his aunt’s advice to openly provoke Su Bing. How was he going to save face now?!

Su Bing made no attempt to hide his strategy. For the last few questions, he remained still as long as his sixth-grade schoolmate did the same, allowing the student from another school to score.

However, the moment his schoolmate showed any sign of answering, Su Bing would preemptively answer and score. This pattern was so obvious that even the audience could see it. It seemed that the elementary school prodigy was deliberately targeting his schoolmate.

But why would he target his own schoolmate and help a student from another school score?

Amidst the confusion of the crowd, the competition came to an end.

Su Bing from First Bilingual Primary School scored one hundred and forty points, Fu Sheng from Guangcheng No.1 Middle School scored one hundred points, and He Jiang from the First Bilingual Primary School scored sixty points.

He Jiang could not accept the reality. He, a former champion, had only managed to secure third place, with a final score of just sixty points. There was a forty-point gap between him and the second place, and the rural student had outscored him by a whopping eighty points. No, this couldn’t be true!

His face drained of color, and He Jiang fainted on stage.

His aunt, Teacher He, who had been berating him for his lack of competitiveness, was shocked to see her nephew faint in front of everyone. She rushed to the stage in panic.

How was she going to explain this to his parents? She was ruined by that woman, Zhou Hua. If only she hadn’t listened to her!

Soon, the other knowledge competitions also concluded.

During the award ceremony, when Gu Zi, Su Li, and Su Le arrived at the Children’s Palace auditorium, Su Bing had just received the championship trophy. The second-place student went up to hug Su Bing, who wore a cold expression, as if he was being forcibly embraced. His reaction amused the audience.

Finally, under the guidance of the school leaders, Su Bing accepted an interview from the reporters. However, Gu Zi noticed that the third-place winner did not attend the award ceremony, and his trophy and prizes were collected by a teacher on his behalf.

The reporter handed over the microphone and asked, “Su Bing, we are all very curious. On the day of the finals, why did you consistently help a student from another school score, while suppressing your own schoolmate, He Jiang?”

What a provocative question! However, no one in the audience voiced any objections. Instead, they all turned their attention to Su Bing, as they too were curious. The elementary school prodigy had probably traumatized He Jiang to the point where he didn’t even show up for the award ceremony.

Standing on the stage, Su Bing looked at the dense crowd below, remaining calm. He turned to the school leaders and said, “Teacher, the answer to this question may damage the image of the school’s students. May I answer it?”
