Chapter 457: Who Will Be the Champion
Did she win?
Did she win this easily?
It still felt like a dream for Feng Yumeng.
There were neither any difficulties in the first match nor did she make any shocking moves.
Did she win so naturally?
“Feng Yumeng, good job!”
“Feng Yumeng, you were very cool!”
Her classmates celebrated her victory despite teasing her daily.
But when she won, everyone was truly happy for her.
The instructor could only smile as he shook his head at these excited students’ antics.
Feng Yumeng took a while before she registered the fact that she won.
And then she squealed in excitement.
Gu Qingjiu clapped on from the side. She was ecstatic about her results.
She wasn’t hoping for Feng Yumeng to attain a devastating victory from her training.
At the very least, she dared to strike – the first step to dueling – something admirable and worth celebrating.
After winning, the first thing Feng Yumeng did was to run out and give Gu Qingjiu a tight embrace.
“Qingjiu, Qingjiu, thank you so much!!”
She couldn’t hold in her gratitude. Gu Qingjiu shook her head and let go of the hug. “It’s the results of your hard work. I was only here to help you train and didn’t teach you much.”
She wouldn’t claim credit where it wasn’t due. Feng Yumeng won because she had the innate potential.
“The same words for you. If you’re afraid of pain, you still have to defeat your opponent. Okay, you’ve to go to prepare for your next match. Mine’s about to begin as well.”
“Sure.”
The ecstatic Feng Yumeng left to mix with a few of her good friends.
Besides, with these duels in full swing, the instructors couldn’t be bothered with the students. Hence, they had the chance to unwind.
Gu Qingjiu rushed back to prepare for her match as well.
Her first match was against a girl from Class B.
It didn’t take much for Gu Qingjiu to defeat her opponent.
And she emerged as the victor in the first round.
As she rested on the ground, she seemed to hear people discussing her.
“She’s really strong. It was not even her specialty, right? She’s from the sharpshooting department.”
“She’s good at dueling too. Look at Feng Yumeng. She was the dead last, but with her practice training for a few days, she grew by leaps and bounds and even won her first match.”
“She’s so perfect.”
Hearing these declarations around her, Gu Qingjiu snickered deep within.
How many times had she been in their shoes – looking at others in admiration? Rather than her sitting there and being looked up upon by others.
It wasn’t something that she was used to.
This glory was something she worked hard to obtain.
In the future, she just had to move forward with a clear conscience.
Due to her huge leap in confidence, Feng Yumeng had three consecutive wins and finally losing at her fourth round.
After all, it was only a few days of training. There were still gaps in her learnings.
Everyone had trained for a few months already. If Feng Yumeng worked hard, she would be able to catch up with them.
Gu Qingjiu, on the other hand, squeezed into the top thirty of the competition. She successfully qualified for the next day’s competition against her year mates.
If she could get a standing, even if it was third place, Gu Qingjiu would be able to obtain military points.
There were too many uses for military points.
Even if it was only a single point.
For the shooting competition, everyone expected Gu Qingjiu to come in first in her year.
Because amongst the first-year students, there were no others who were good enough to enter the shooting department.
