Absolute Choice - Chapter 493: Bunny Cao and Handsome Chen

Beijing City, Peihua University's Dragon Summer Stadium

The academic tournament that had lasted nearly a month had finally ended half an hour ago. Although the contestants at the stadium had long left the scene, the audience outside remained without any intention to leave. They were still immersed in the exciting final round. The blood in their bodies was stirring with no way for them to calm down.

"How astonishing. I completely can't believe that it was a battle among Psionic Mortal Realm rookies. Probably ranked tournaments at the Psionic Soul Realm, or even Psionic Might Realm, aren't as exaggerated as this, right? I almost slunk away after being frightened by Bunny Cao. How can that girl's magic be so terrifying? I had a nagging feeling that she could tear apart the stadium at any time. However, that boy called Chen...Chen-something was also rather impressive. He seemed invulnerable and unmovable. He resembled a humanoid monster. He was engaged in a stalemate with Bunny Cao for more than ten minutes. If not for Bunny Cao's mental energy turning 'perversely' strong, allowing her to constantly cast magic without any signs of exhaustion for more than ten minutes and then use some unknown trump card, the outcome would have been impossible to predict!"

A middle-aged man exclaimed with praises in the audience stands. He had an excited expression as he reminisced the stunning match half an hour ago. The stadium grounds in front of him that was filled with marks of the aftermath seemed to indicate how astounding the battle had been.

"Pui! Pui! Pui! The outcome has not been decided. Didn't you see Bunny Cao looking relaxed during the match? She was casting spells in an unhurried manner. Furthermore, she was eating meat...meat buns in satisfaction at the same time? That's clearly because her opponent was too weak so she had been perfunctory with him."

"She just did not wish to show her true strength too early. It was to create certain highlights in the match. She had the interests of the audience in mind! Bunny Cao had only turned slightly serious eventually. That adonis, Chen...Chen-something did not even have the ability to put up a resistance!"

A freckled boy sitting beside the man retorted in disagreement.

As a university rookie that had paid attention to the academic tournament selection, she had long had a gauge. From the beginning, he was certain that Bunny Cao, who was ranked on par with Speechless Li as the 'North Cao, South Li' duo, would clinch final victory. It was even possible that it would have been a wipe out in every match, but he never expected the final match to last more than ten minutes. Her opponent was an adonis that was completely unknown previously.

And what he found completely unacceptable was that many people like the middle-aged man beside him had equaled the adonis with Bunny Cao!

From a long time ago, Bunny Cao was a 'female goddess' in his heart when he was still in middle school despite lacking in several aspects. Bunny Cao could only be considered to have delicate features and she had a terrible fashion sense by always wearing long pants under a short skirt. Although she had lived on campus for three years, she would often get lost but choose to travel afar. Recently, she had become obsessed with meat buns for some unknown reason. Despite her having an enviable S-class superpower and Mind Expanse, she was infatuated by magic. She only studied magic despite it being an era filled with Psionites and Espers. She became a proud oddity. Well...the more she was described, the more like the word 'nut' had to be added to the words 'female goddess'.

In short, the freckled boy adored Bunny Cao because she was truly strong. She was so strong that she made her peers question life. Even Speechless Li, who was ranked alongside her as 'North Cao South Li', was absolutely not stronger than Bunny Cao from his point of view. Hence, although Bunny Cao wasn't pretty and she had a poor sense of fashion, odd personality and various flaws, it did not stop her from becoming the freckled boy's 'female goddess' because her breasts were really big. Uh, that's not right. It's because she was really very strong.

Ahem. Anyways, the freckled boy was extremely displeased that the adonis, who looked as though he led a substantial life, could be comparable to his female goddess, Bunny Cao.

However, the moment he said those words, a female classmate sitting beside him could not remain happy.

"Bullshit! Bunny Cao looked more like she was the one using all her strength, alright!? The stadium was almost torn down by her, but Chen...Chen...Handsome Chen was completely unscathed. If not for Bunny Cao using some technique at the end, causing Handsome Chen to run out of the arena for some baffling reason, it would be hard to determine who was the victor! Hmph! Handsome Chen must have felt that it was meaningless to drag it out any further so he had deliberately lost!"

The girl glared angrily at the freckled boy. After that, she took out her cell phone to check the information of the final match. She muttered to herself, "Strange. Handsome Chen is so handsome, but why can't I remember his name...Oh, there you have it. Chen Lingcun. Oh, I must remember my male god's name this time!"

The freckled boy stared at his female classmate dumbfoundedly as he said with a stiff smile, "Lingling, aren't you a fan of Bunny Cao?"

The freckled boy was stupefied. The female classmate sitting beside him was someone he had been constantly trying to pursue. As the both of them were Bunny Cao's fans, it was not easy for him to obtain two tickets. He had hoped to find an opportunity to confess to her in the euphoria after the end of the tournament. Why did it suddenly become like this?

"Pui! Don't call me Lingling. Are we that close?"

The girl glared coldly at the freckled male.

The freckled boy opened his mouth, about to say something when his female classmate scoffed coldly and said, "Don't speak to me. It's affecting my memorization of my male god's name!"

As the girl spoke, she coldly turned her head away, leaving behind an arrogant back view of her head.

The freckled boy felt extremely aggrieved as he said sulkily, "Isn't he just an adonis?"

The girl immediately turned around and gave him a cold glare of 'never talk to me in the future'.

The freckled boy sulkily shut his mouth.

By the side, a middle-aged man tried his best to hold back his laughter. Having almost failed, he shook his head and reflected,

"This is what youth (a loser) is!"

...

...

The sun was hottest at high noon. Most of the audience in the audience stands were sweating buckets. However, few left the stadium because there was not only a prize presentation ceremony after the final match, there was also the collective training expedition ceremony that many looked forward to.

Although the officials had spent an additional half an hour to finish up their preparations as per normal, the audience did not lose their passion. The rousing atmosphere was still as feverish as ever. It was partly because they were still reminiscing the lingering charm of the intense battle from before. And the other reason was that the audience was looking forward to the gathering of the ten rookies who would participate in the collective training as academic faction representatives.

The audience discussed the final match, the ten rookies, or the male gods or female goddesses in their heart to kill time.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Suddenly, a rousing tune sounded and was spread throughout the stadium through the broadcasting system.

A yellow-browed elder walked out of a passageway. As he strode to the center of the grounds, everyone stopped their discussions and cast their gazes at the old man.

He was Peihua University's Principal Zhen, and also one of the leaders of the academic faction. He was considered one of the most esteemed figures in China.

The audience involuntarily shut their mouths and even held their breaths in a daze. The yellow-browed elder was hunched and his footsteps were hobbled. However, every step he took to the middle of the stadium appeared as though a hundred-meter-tall behemoth was striding through the lands in everyone's eyes.

A repressive feeling that surged in every direction suddenly arose spontaneously. It made their breathing turn something to be taken with great care.

Only when the yellow-browed elder came to a stop did the strange sense of pressure disappear abruptly.

The elder stood alone in the middle of the stadium. He had a benevolent and kind countenance as his eyes squinted into a smile. He looked harmless.

However, not a single one of the audience dared to break the silence at that moment.

"Da Da Da..."

At that moment, a series of footsteps could be heard from the passageway. It sounded extremely clear in the dead silence.

As the audience turned toward the source of the noise, they saw the boys and girls that they had been eager to see walking out of the passageway.

The person right in front was an extremely handsome silver-haired youth. His hands were in his pockets as a faint smile suffused on his lips. Under the illumination of the sun, it made people involuntarily exclaim—What an adonis!

"Ah Ah Ah Ah~"

The boy-crazy girls in the audience stands had already collectively reached an orgasm. IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
