Chapter 108 The Strongest Dark Horse
Three days passed by. When Su Heng walked out of the Jiangdong Association in the morning light, figures immediately surrounded him. These were reporters and photographers with various nameplate handheld microphones or cameras on his chest, including CCTV, Imperial Capital TV, and media magazines that Su Heng had never heard of.
"Sir Su Heng, can I interview you?"
"Student Su, as the strongest dark horse in this Lingmu All-Star Tournament, what do you think about officially defeating a Peking University player on the field?"
"Sir Su, are you proud of being named the most handsome player in the 650 National Championships online?"
...
Three days later, the knockout round is about to begin. Su Heng didn't expect to meet so many people interviewing him when he went out. The questions from these reporters made him even more confused.
The strongest dark horse? The most handsome player? Am I proud? I’m so proud.
Showing a smile that he thought was kind to the camera, Su Heng said decisively, "Sorry, it's the knockout round soon. I'm going to prepare for the game, please forgive me."
Xu Zhongyuan was also laughing beside him, "Dear media friends, the time of the players during the national competition is limited. If you have anything to ask, why not leave it after the national competition?"
While smiling while protecting Su Heng, Xu Zhongyuan complained, "You guy is really stable enough. All the stars who have come out of the All-Star Game are the strongest stars and the rookies of the Empire. During these three days of rest, some media want to interview you and give you exclusive interviews, but you rejected them. You should know that other players in Jiangdong Province are eager to come and interview them."
After complaining, Xu Zhongyuan smiled again, "By the way, eliminate the top 100 Siling Wood System in the country, eliminate 50 people at one time, you will definitely pass the test. Even I would never imagine that you can even defeat the super academic masters of Peking University!"
Speaking of Director Xu's little heart, I don't know how many times it was violently beaten because of Su Heng. He was not there at the preliminaries, so he sent Su Heng to the rest hall for a while before returning to the guild hall. He watched the live broadcast. At that time, he really didn't expect that Su Heng once again created a miracle.
Even with similar miracles, he has witnessed many times in provincial competitions, but Su Heng can still be so amazing in the national competition. He magically defeated the Peking University topdoor and became the top dominant in the group, which still made his heart beat sharply.
Su Heng's record is too fierce. In ten groups, fifteen players from three major overlord universities, only one Jiang Wenxuan was killed by students from non-overlord universities, and the remaining 14 were left. Even if he ranks second in the group, he would lose to Tsinghua University or Peking University or Royal Spirit College students of the same level.
In just a few days, Su Heng became famous completely.
The strongest dark horse is the public's perception of him.
As long as someone wants to search Su Heng’s information and read his Yongle search encyclopedia, it deepens people’s impression of Su Heng’s dark horse.
This is a super dark horse that has emerged from the school competition and has been dark all the way to the national competition!
The call for the strongest dark horse has even overshadowed the style of many other three overlord college students. Su Heng's fame has also increased explosively in just a few days. When it comes to this national competition, there are currently only four people with the most famous Lingmu Clan.
Zhao Wuyang, Sun Yuwei, Zhu Lingqi, and the fourth is Su Heng.
But look at the identities and backgrounds of the other three. Zhao Wuyang is the first person in Tsinghua University and is a direct child of the Zhao family, the governor of Honolulu. The Zhao family has been in charge of the Honolulu Islands for more than 200 years and is the top family in the front line of the Ming Empire suppressing the Pacific coast of the Lighthouse Empire.
With the Zhao family in charge, the Ming Empire could only treat the Pacific Ocean as a back garden. Although the Zhao family did not have a title of Duke and was just a marquis, their true achievements were no worse than those of the dukes when the Ming Dynasty was founded. From the Age of Discovery to several industrial revolutions around the world, if the Zhao family had not been guarded, the Pacific maritime power of the Ming Dynasty would not be so stable.
Apart from the merits of the Zhao family, who has been in charge of the Pacific for more than two hundred years, has accumulated wealth and honor, of course, is far from comparable to ordinary families. As the best child of the Zhao family's younger generation, Zhao Wuyang has performed well since he was a child and has received resources from the Zhao family. After being admitted to Tsinghua University, he dominated the entire department every year.
Sun Yuwei was the strongest in Peking University. His ancestor Pingbei Hou was the same as Zhenwu Hou in Jiangdong Province. He was also a great nobleman who rose in the era of Emperor Chongzhen. When it comes to his identity and background, he was not inferior to the He family in Jiangdong Province. He was not inferior to the Zhao family. If the Zhao family suppressed the Lighthouse Empire, then the Sun family was in the northern border of the empire and fought against the frontline families of the Maoxiong Kingdom, which had always had ambitions against the border territory of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, in the era when Emperor Chongzhen rose and reformed the empire to revive the empire, even if he did not enfeoff the duke, the new nobles who rose with the emperor were no less effective than the civil officials and generals when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country.
In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu, the princes who followed him to expel the Tartars were representatives of expelling the Tartars. The Chongzhen era happened to catch up with the global voyage. Even in the world of warriors, you cannot deny that the power of thermal weapons. The extraordinary realm and above can only reach the level of power. The spiritual realm below the extraordinary can be achieved by many people, even many people can punch thousands of pounds, easily run for several miles in dozens of seconds, and can even use natural elements such as Feng Shui Earth Fire to attack and protect. However, the guns of thermal weapons can also have strong lethality to many spiritual realm power.
The functions of the mecha-rope guns and bird guns in the Chongzhen era were not as powerful as that, but after vigorously developing flintlock guns, rear-loading guns and even machine guns, warriors in the Linghua Realm had to look at various thermal weapons.
The Zhao family, the Xinghai Hou, the Sun family, the Pingbei Hou, and the Zhenwu Hou of the He family in Jiangdong Province were all great nobles who rose to the rise of that era.
During World War I and the Americas, it was the time when generations of nobles were at the forefront of the frontier that ensured the stability of the empire.
Zhu Lingqi is the representative of the Royal Spirit Academy, the good daughter of the contemporary King Lu, and the pearl in his hand. With her appearance and figure as good as He Ying, the daughter of Jiangdong Province, and her talent in overthrowing the Royal Spirit Academy, she is definitely the national goddess among the young people of the Ming Empire in the current generation.
During the Chongzhen era, bad policies such as the inability to enter politics were also reformed. The Ming royal family that extended from the Zhu Yuanzhang era to the Chongzhen era was no longer trapped and killed in the fiefdom for the rest of their lives. They could no longer easily inherit land and other wealth as before, and were raised by the royal family as pigs. They could only live by and wait for death for the rest of their lives. Instead, as long as they had talents, they could also become generals and ministers.
Contemporary King Lu is a powerful man in his 200s in his magical power realm. He is one of the pillars of the royal family. His good daughter's pearl in her hand has received since childhood, and the treatment she received since childhood is far beyond the imagination of normal people.
The first person in the Lingmu Division of these three overlord universities has won the championship since the national competition. The biggest seed players in the top three are far from comparable to ordinary players. Jiang Wenxuan, Luo Xiuhang, Xu Yiping, etc., who are also from overlord universities, are far from catching up with the style of those three.
However, in just a few days of public opinion, Su Heng was still the only two civilian player in the national competition circle, and his fame and popularity stalked by Zhu Lingqi, which is enough to witness how powerful he is.
After sighing, Xu Zhongyuan smiled again, "Speaking of this, your fame has increased so much, even CCTV reporters and Imperial Capital TV station want to block the door to interview you. The key is that it is also a label of a civilian origin, which has attracted too many people's attention and support."
"In this national competition, there are only two civilians. One is you and the other is Zhang Jing, the other is Zhang Jing, northern Hubei Province. Zhang Jing is different from you. He was already very outstanding in high school. He received support from a wealthy family in his city since high school. He signed a special student treatment and received three million scholarships every year. He entered the provincial competition in the first institution of northern Hubei. The wealthy family behind Zhang Jing increased the scholarship to 10 million a year."
"Zhang Jing is currently in his senior year and has won the national preliminaries. But he is only sixth in the seventh group, and his results are far from yours."
"Only two civilian players, Zhang Jing, are too different from you, so you will gain a huge amount of popularity and fame from countless civilians or well-off audiences."
In one national competition, there were 210 academic masters from the Ming Empire, including several overseas leaders, and only two civilian players...
This proportion is not an exaggeration.
Nothing else is said, children from nobles or wealthy families can get all kinds of talent resources, cultivation resources, educational resources, etc. from the age of eight or nine or younger. Even if most people may waste resources and opportunities, a dozen people are willing to work hard, and their rise will be thousands or tens of times easier than those of ordinary students calculated in units of tens of thousands.
The talent of ordinary players is basically born, and they also need to work hard to learn, memorize rote, etc. A noble and wealthy player can temporarily remember it with a top-quality spiritual pill. If you don’t have to worry about forgetting it if you don’t have the upper limit of your soul power load, you don’t have to worry about forgetting it. Cultivation is also a state of resource accumulation, and both start at the same level.
Just like when Su Heng was on earth in his previous life, ordinary people's children graduated from college and needed to find a job. It was already very good to start a job with a salary of three or four thousand yuan. The son of a rich man started his business after graduation with billions of wealth from his family, and there were also countless connections left by his elders to help you develop. A large number of civilians worked hard for a lifetime, and the highest achievement that could be achieved is nothing more than the start of the rich second generation's graduation. Even a large number of civilians could fight for a lifetime and meet the starting standards of the rich second generation.
The gap is so huge that the civilian contestants who rose up as a dark horse in the sky will gain a large number of passers-by and civilian fans after their identity information is exposed.
With fame and popularity, media like TV stations who are chasing hot spots are of course willing to block the door. This is the result of submitting interview requests many times in the past few days and being rejected by Su Heng.
Putting aside the title of the strongest dark horse, the most handsome player... is purely funny, really funny. Let's not talk about the national goddess Zhu Lingqi, who has super good looks, talent, popularity and fame. There are two male players who can compete with Su Heng, even the remaining ones, and there are no ugly ones. After all, contestants from noble and rich families often come from grandparents and parents, both handsome men and beautiful women. With the optimization of genes from generation to generation, the younger generation may not be handsome, but the probability of being ugly is extremely small.
Su Heng also laughed. He smiled humbly and was a little embarrassed. However, he rose with his own chance to this point. No matter what kind of opponent he encountered in this national competition, he would do his best.
