Chapter 173: The Brain is Buzzing with Clangs!

Zhang Xiaosheng nodded. “Fast. Tan Mo's performance was outstanding in the first round, but everyone had their limits. There was absolutely no way he could do well in the second round.”

No one can do that.

“After my failure on stage, we rely on you now for the second round, Xiaoou!” Lin Zhenhui clenched his teeth.

“I was not only humiliated, I also dragged the school into failure. I will admit it. That's my responsibility. I'm not going to argue with that. But for this second round, make sure you reply properly and put him in his place!”

Hearing Lin Zhenhui say this to Ziao Xiaoou, Zhang Xiaosheng also told Xiaoou, “ Zhenhui's words are a little exaggerated, but I agree with what he said. After losing face in the first half, we had to make sure to improve our game and counter-attack. If not, how can we say that we are proud of the hard work we have put in and the countless days of blood, sweat, sweat, and the tears we have shed for this competition?”

Zhao Xiaoou nodded solemnly. “I understand.”

He looked towards Tan Mo. He doesn't look okay either.

It was impossible for Xiaoou to allow himself to like someone who had humiliated their team.

Especially when just before the competition started, everyone had already pretty much admitted that Tsinghua University was going to win the championship.

However, the first half ended in a mess for them.

Zhao Xiaoou took a deep breath and went up onto the stage with a dignified expression and replaced him in the last place Lin Zhenhui stood.

He turned to look at Tan Mo.

Tan Mo watched Xiaoou from his peripheral vision, looked back at him, and gave him a sweet and innocent smile.

Zhao Xiaoou felt a shiver on his back.

Tan Mo's cute antics might work out with the boys, but they definitely won't work out with him.

“Your performance in the last round was impressive,” Zhao Xiaoou said.

Tan Mo smiled. “Thank you, senior.”

Zhao Xiaoou did not say anything about it.

HM!

So annoying.

Tan Mo already knew that Zhao Xiaoou hated his attitude and behavior.

And since Zhao Xiaoou hated him, he would continue to behave like this and more.

In the best case scenario, Zhao Xiaoou would be frustrated to the point where she would continue competing for the bell until her hands started shaking.

“Are you sure of this second round?” Zhao Xiaoou asked Tan Mo as she continued to smile at him.

Usually, those who did well in the first half would be a little arrogant.

Even those who are often calm and steady will become a little overconfident.

Not to mention Tan Mo was younger than all of them and had managed to humiliate Lin Zhenhui so badly. Surely, he must be overconfident and would blow his own trumpet.

This would be a good time for him to use this state that Tan Mo was going through to get into his head. He would be able to measure his level of knowledge like this.

At least a little, from the second round in the competition, namely.

“Lumayan.” Tan Mo laughed a little. “I didn't learn much about it.”

He knew all the contents, which was why he did not need to study.

Professor Gu himself said this.

If Professor Gu said that he did not need to study, then he would just follow his advice.

Professor Gu is usually reliable.

Zhao Xiaoou could not think of anything else to say

Why aren't you proud of yourself?

Tan Mo's actions didn't seem to indicate that he felt too proud.

Now, Zhao Xiaoou did not know whether Tan Mo was telling the truth or not.

Does he really not know much about the field or is he just pretending?

He really couldn't decipher what Tan Mo was really meant to do at the moment. All he could do was try and regain some of their school reputation for Lin Zhenhui.

He's laughing a little. “In the last round, senior Lin underestimated his enemy. He cannot tap into his full potential.”

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, he saw Tan Mo open his eyes in surprise.

Zhao Xiaoou felt a sense of foreboding seeing him like this.

Something must be wrong!

Immediately, Tan Mo answered him, “But senior Lin told me that he would try his best.”

He tilted his head and seemed to be racking his brain. “He tried his best, but got minus one ..”

Just as he finished his sentence, his hand flew into his mouth. It was as if he realized that he had just said something that he shouldn't have said.

Where did Beijing University find this weirdo?

Tan Mo removed his hand from his mouth and hurriedly said. “He obviously didn't try his best. Surely.”

He even emphasized this statement with a nod.

The more he spoke, the more it seemed like everything he said was just a trick.

Zhao Xiaoou let out a frustrated sigh.

How should he repay that?

Anyone can now clearly say that he is just doing this to annoy them.

He might as well praise Tan Mo for being nice and letting Lin Zhenhui find a less embarrassing way to leave the stage.

If he said that Lin Zhenhui had really given everything, yet still lost horribly to the other team, it would have been even worse.

But if he says that he is not trying his best, then it seems that they do not care about their reputation at all, and that they are just trying to find an excuse to make up for their loss.

One of those options is bad.

Zhao Xiaoou could not hear what was said from the stage, but those in the stands could hear all the comments spoken by the entire audience.

“Why are those two seniors acting like this? They had already lost in the first round, and they were still trying to force Tan Mo to take a corner kick. Isn't that a little..”

“Although they are not happy with the current result, we are the one hosting the competition. It's a little much, isn't it? We will be made a joke if this gets out!”

Other audience members also have opinions.

Some came from Beijing University.

Although the number was smaller when compared to the audience from Tsinghua University, there was a tense friction between the two universities as they sat close together.

“What's with the competitors from Tsinghua University? Can they really get away with bluffing other competitors?”

“Despite being bullied, Tan Mo still beat them up. Hard to believe.”

Even some students from Tsinghua University started to pity Tan Mo despite supporting their school.

Zhao Xiaoou sneered and stopped talking to Tan Mo.

But Tan Mo won't let go that easily.

“Zhao Senior, will you give your best in this round?” she asked.

Zhao Xiaoou remained silent.

How should I repay this?

No?

But this is a competition. You didn't give it all away?

Yea?

But what if I lose?

Zhao Xiaoou did not realize that she was already nervous before the competition started for her.

He was thinking about losing.

He did not reply and just pretended not to be able to hear Tan Mo.

Tan Mo just smiled. He doesn't mind.

Back then, the host spoke, “The second branch will discuss the annotations of ancient documents.

“The countdown to the first question will start soon.”

The moment number one appeared on the screen, it blinked.

THE CLANG!

The crowd looked on with anticipation.

The host said, “Beijing University, please give us your answer.”

Tan Mo looked at the question displayed on the screen and replied, “Option B.”

“True,” says host. “One point for Beijing University. Second question will soon follow.”

Everyone could hear from then on was the sound of consecutive clangs! THE CLANG! Clang from the bell.

Their brains are now buzzing with CLANG! sound from the bell.

Students who watch live competitions never tell others to watch live streams, but it looks like this year is an exception.

Never had they heard so many fast rhythmic clanging sounds!

As soon as ten seconds passed, CLANG! it will be heard soon. And right after that, an answer
