Chapter 180: When Did I Lie to You?
If he knew that Tan Mo was such a genius, he would never underestimate him.
“Gu, you really save your ace card, huh?” Professor Liu sighed.
“Save my ace up my sleeve?” Professor Gu laughed.
“Do I look like the person who would do that? It's true that he's my student, but there's no need for me to introduce him, right? I mean, you never ask, so why should I tell you?”
HM!
Professor Liu looked the other way.
Fortunately, Huang Mingshun's mental strength was better than Tai An Jing's and he wasn't crushed by the question.
He was determined to press the button first, whether he knew the answer or not.
However, despite his determination, he never managed to suppress the bell first.
When the round ended, Tan Mo grinned.
Tan Mo had been cultivating for 1,000 years, and there was no way an ordinary human could be faster than him. If yes, then all his training will be in vain.
Of course, his immortality and cultivation that he had accumulated over 1,000 years did not follow him to this incarnation, but he had regained his healing abilities, photographic memories, and quick reactions.
Both Huang Mingshun and Zhang Xiaosheng thought they were fast with their hands, but they were basically moving like snails in Tan Mo's eyes.
It was basically impossible for them to have a faster reaction time than him.
Tan Mo was a baby when he discovered that he still had his healing abilities.
When he was in elementary school, he discovered that he had retained his photographic memory.
Now, he had regained his reflexes during this competition. After he realized what the participants of Tsinghua University were trying to do and decided to fully focus on pressing the bell, his strength had returned to him.
As he focused all his attention on pressing the bell, he realized the others were moving in slow motion, and he could see their movements clearly.
In the end, it was as if the others had almost stopped moving.
Tan Mo wondered if he had regained his abilities during the competition or had awakened him long ago, but he never realized it.
All he knew was that when he really focused on something, which was rare to him, everything would slow down from his point of view.
Her hyper-reaction was one of the abilities she had gained over hundreds of years of cultivating as a little snow elf.
Now that he had reincarnated, his abilities slowly returned one by one.
He wondered if he would continue to rediscover his strength as time went on, but, at this moment, the three abilities he currently possessed were enough.
After being completely defeated by Tan Mo for four consecutive rounds, the participants from Tsinghua University completely lost the will to continue.
They don't even want to fight anymore.
The same scenario keeps repeating for the next four rounds.
After the tenth round ended, the host was talking to someone through his earpiece.
After a while, the host finally announced, “According to the scoreboard, Beijing University took the lead by a very large margin.”
Everyone in the hall had the same reaction when they heard that.
Um... a large margin? Isn't that more like the other team that hasn't earned a single point?
“Also, the first participant from Beijing University has won every round until the tenth round,” continued the host.
“Because the other teams do not have members to join in the match anymore, we have decided to lose the rest of the match.”
They had no choice but to make a decision like other universities had no more members to send on stage.
Even if Tsinghua University still had remaining members, they did not want to participate anymore after being humiliated by Tan Mo throughout the competition.
“Now, let's see the total score for this season's Ancient Text competition!” The host pointed to the main screen.
Despite knowing the result, everyone still turned their eyes to the screen.
First place: Beijing University with 99 points.
Second place: Shuang University with 0 points.
Second place: Nan University with 0 points.
Second place: Jiang University with 0 points.
Sixth place: Tsinghua University with - 1 point.
Some of the spectators cheered.
Most of the cheers were performed by participants and spectators from Beijing University.
As the hall was large and mostly filled with students from Tsinghua University, their cheers were relatively calm.
However, it does not affect the excitement.
They have achieved a full victory.
Tsinghua University has been a winner for the past few years. However, they would only win by a small margin, with the remaining five universities only lacking a few points.
This year, Tsinghua University occupies the last position with a score - one.
After being bullied by Tsinghua University for the past few years, Beijing University finally has a chance to emerge victorious.
“Wherever Tan Mo goes, enemies perish!”
“Wherever Tan Mo goes, enemies perish!”
The crowd started shouting slogans once again.
The chant grew louder each time until the hall was filled with it.
Students from Tsinghua University do not believe that Beijing University will actually show off on its own former campus.
As for Tan Mo, he looked at the crowd in astonishment.
Seriously, can you change the slogan?
That marked the end of the Ancient Text Competition.
There were no spectators from Shuang University, Nan University, Jiang University, and Tong University. The only students from the university are participants.
The participants from these universities stared at the results with mixed feelings.
They got second place, which is already better than the last few years.
Usually, the first place goes to Tsinghua University and the second place goes to Beijing University.
The rest will take third to sixth place, with Jiang University coming in last in the previous year.
Getting second place was a huge improvement for these universities, however, reaching second place with zero points was actually not something encouraging.
Just when they had trouble accepting the result, they turned around and found that the Tsinghua University team members had lowered their heads in shame.
When the members of the other four universities saw that, they finally felt relieved.
In the end, they were better than Tsinghua University. At least they had zero points when compared to Tsinghua University, which had minus one point.
At least they were in second place while Tsinghua University was in last place.
When they realized that, all the discomfort they had felt before disappeared instantly.
Every time they felt bad about getting second place despite having zero points, all they had to do was look at the miserable situation that the Tsinghua University team members were in.
The Tsinghua University team members could feel the stares of their competitors, but there was nothing they could do about it.
They had been completely humiliated and had no way to vent their anger, and now, the other team had been able to turn them into some kind of sedative to make themselves feel better.
They were indeed aware of the change in expression of the other four university members after glancing at them.
It was basically a situation where the students from Shuang University, Nan University, Tong University, and Jiang University found solace in the misfortune of others.

“Liu, it's a good match.” Professor Gu smiled as he extended his hand to shake Professor Liu's hand.
“Gu, now that the competition is over, isn't it time you told the truth?” Professor Liu forced a smile.
“What are you talking about? When did I lie to you?” Professor Gu had a plain face.
“Tan Mo is, he's a whiz at your school, right? It's understandable that you never told me about him, or we'd think of a way to prevent this from happening."
