Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 405 - 400: Preliminary Tournament (Part 8)

Chapter 405: Chapter 400: Preliminary Tournament (Part 8)

Ji Ning stopped the wood element ability student who wanted to turn Yao Meng over.

In their shock, her palm pressed against Yao Meng’s back.

Creamy white light continuously flowed from her palm into Yao Meng’s body.

"Are you a superpower doctor?" the referee asked.

"No, I’m her competition guide."

The referee was a bit surprised but didn’t stop Ji Ning’s actions, though he muttered, "What’s with these two students? This is a competition, not a life or death battle. Why such heavy-handedness? If something happens, what will your parents do?"

The wood element ability student standing on the other side felt waves of regret. During the competition, he got a bit carried away. He didn’t intend to hurt Yao Meng; he just wanted to score quickly and end the match.

No one expected Yao Meng to be so desperate this time, exhausted yet still blocking balls...

"Teacher, how is she? Does she need to be sent to the hospital for treatment?" The referee, afraid something might happen, mumbled at the students and turned to Ji Ning’s progress with concern.

Ji Ning was somewhat annoyed with him, "Quiet!"

The referee was silenced and shut his mouth awkwardly.

At this moment, the principals and teachers from both schools hurried over.

Wang Li’s concerned voice had changed, "Ji Ning, how is she..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

"You... you... you’re a superpower user?"

Principal Zhang was no longer surprised, having witnessed it during winter break training.

Patting the completely stunned Wang Li, he walked over and asked with concern, "How is student Yao Meng? Does she need to be sent to the hospital?"

"No need, she’ll be fine shortly."

"Alright, thank you."

Yao Meng’s physique had already reached S-Class, with a much higher resistance to impact than normal people. Although the wood element ability student’s strength was considerable, it didn’t harm her internal organs.

She only suffered some bruises, with a small amount of bleeding from her chest where she intercepted the ball.

Ji Ning had already used superpowers to help her heal and was now regulating her somewhat turbulent abilities.

Yao Meng kept her eyes closed, not fainting, but feeling too embarrassed to face so many people at the moment.

During the competition, she only thought about not letting the opponent score another goal. Her blood was boiling, but now she felt a bit shy and mostly embarrassed for vomiting blood publicly.

"Alright, get up."

As she was thinking, Ji Ning’s voice suddenly came by her ear. Yao Meng could only muster the courage to open her eyes and turn over.

Facing several pairs of concerned eyes.

Damn! I’ve embarrassed myself big time...

"Yao Meng, how is your body? Feeling better?"

The principal’s chubby face was covered in sweat, clearly from running over.

Yao Meng shook her head slightly and supported herself to stand up.

Ji Ning’s healing ability was so strong that not only did the pain disappear, but her strength also recovered quite a bit.

She felt like she could battle with her old opponent for three hundred rounds.

The principal secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he was terrified just now.

Having his own kid compete and then being kicked to the point of vomiting blood, who could take that?

Thinking of this, the principal discreetly shot a few sharp glances at the culprit beside him.

"Alright, hurry back and rest. If you feel any discomfort, let me know immediately."

Yao Meng replied with an "mm," and just as she was about to leave, she saw her old opponent standing by, looking like a kid who had done something wrong, and couldn’t help but say, "We’ll decide the winner in the finals, don’t let me down."

The old opponent hesitated to speak, then snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Anhe Second Middle School’s principal made a few polite remarks and quickly left, fearing his own kids might be scared and have their mindset affected.

Yao Meng breathed a sigh of relief but felt a bit regretful, having given it her all but not winning the match.

"You’re not far behind; meet again in the finals. You can win."

Simple words instantly brightened Yao Meng’s dim eyes as she turned to Ji Ning, "Do you have a plan?"

"Superpower level doesn’t mean anything; let’s review back home."

A smile immediately spread across Yao Meng’s face, and she nodded vigorously.

When the group returned to Anhe Middle School’s stands, Yao Meng received an unprecedented welcome, with several kids lifting her up and cheering excitedly.

"Meng Meng, you were amazing! Winning us 2 points!"

"Yao Meng, well done! You’ve become my idol now!"

"Yao Meng, let’s add each other as friends, I’ll teach you soccer in the future..."

Hmm? How did a strange comment get mixed in?

Under everyone’s gaze, Chen Yantao scratched his face awkwardly, laughing dryly, "Well... isn’t it because I’m worried about Yao Meng next time..."

"Phooey, phooey, you jinx!" Ma Weiwei rolled her eyes at him and handed a new mask to Yao Meng, bashfully saying, "Your mask is dirty, change into a new one."

Yao Meng smiled and took the new mask, thanked her, and then said to Chen Yantao, "Alright, I’ll add you."

Chen Yantao’s eyes lit up and he ran to the stands, "Wait for me to get my phone."

The others followed suit, asking softly, "I also want to add you as a friend."

Yao Meng’s smile deepened, "Alright, I’ll go get my smart brain."

The technology on Hua Continent is not weak, but ordinary people still prefer using their phones when going out.

The cost-effectiveness of a phone is higher than that of a smart brain, even Bai Xiaotang and Ji Ning use both the smart brain and the phone.

After all, the information synchronizes between the two, so you can use whichever is convenient.

...

The harmonious atmosphere at Anhe Middle School made students from other schools envious. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Some turned to look at their superpower classmates at a distance, their eyes filled with longing.

And among those superpower students, some were puzzled by this harmony.

Some were even disdainful, feeling embarrassed by Yao Meng and Wang Hao.

Thinking they lost the face of superpower users.

But more people were interested in Ji Ning’s identity.

Originally thinking she was just an ordinary team guide, they didn’t expect her to be a superpower user.

And a rare healing ability user at that.

Why didn’t she conceal her face?

Exposing her true face in front of so many people, isn’t she afraid of danger in the future?

Ji Ning couldn’t care less about these curious glances and returned to the stands, sitting back in her place.

Huang Ying saw her return and sat next to her, "Your healing ability is exposed; aren’t you afraid of getting mugged in the future?"

Ji Ning snorted, giving her a sidelong glance.

"Alright, consider it unsaid." Huang Ying shook her head with a chuckle.

There probably hasn’t been anyone born yet who could mug Ji Ning.

Unfortunately, these words were spoken too early...

***

Because both the superpower students from Anhe Middle School and Anhe Second Middle School only scored one goal.

The referee declared a draw, with each side accumulating 2 points.

Anhe Middle School had accumulated a total of 8 points from three matches, temporarily leading.

The next match is a crucial point for Anhe Middle School.

As long as they win or draw, they can directly secure a spot for advancement.

The pressure on You Le and Lin Yuanyang was twice as heavy.

This competition project is called "One Among Thousands" and simply tests students’ spiritual power and physical strength.

It’s one of the main competition projects for the organizers to select future superpower seedlings.

With both possessing S-Class spiritual power and S-Class physical strength, they are the best candidates for this project.

The competition rules are simple:

One person must complete 100 spiritual power tests amid a noisy environment; the more tasks completed within the limited time, the higher the score.

For example: In a noisy setting, Lin Yuanyang needs to quickly find the puzzle fragments provided by the photo among tens of thousands of scrambled puzzle pieces.

The other person must complete 100 physical tests in a constantly changing gravity field; similarly, the more tasks completed within the limited time, the higher the score.

Finally, the scores obtained by both are added together, and the school with the highest total score wins.
