Chapter 116 Let them know who is the real strong one!
Su Nian's fingers gently stroked the incense, and then carefully lit it.
In an instant, a faint fire flickered, like a star suddenly appearing in the night sky.
Wisps of green smoke rose up, light and elegant. The tobacco was as thin as silk, first rising straight up, and then drifting slowly in the air, like the dancing skirt of a fairy, dreamlike.
Su Nian slightly closed her eyes, slightly opened her red lips, and slowly put her small nose close to the rising smoke. At that moment, a strong and unique fragrance rushed into her nasal cavity like a tide. The warm fragrance of red mahogany powder carried the sweetness of spiciness, and it impacted her senses without reservation.
This fragrance seemed to have magical power, first swirling in her nasal cavity, and then spreading all the way down along her respiratory tract. Every time it penetrated deeper, it seemed to inject a warm and powerful force into her body and mind, dispelling her inner fatigue and worries bit by bit. Her originally heavy heart became pure and light as if it was baptized by a spring rain.
She took a deep breath, letting the wonderful aroma stay in her chest, enjoying this moment of peace and relaxation. The hustle and bustle around her seemed to disappear completely at this moment, and the whole world was left with only her, the incense, and the intoxicating fragrance.
……
Su Nian was concentrating on fiddling with the carefully crafted aromatherapy, the warm sunlight gently sprinkled on her focused face through the window, outlining a soft golden edge. At this moment, her light brain suddenly vibrated rapidly, breaking the tranquility.
Su Nian frowned slightly, stopped what he was doing, reached out and clicked on the computer screen.
An important and eye-catching notice issued by the school quickly caught the eye: "This afternoon, the highly anticipated freshman mental power control competition will be grandly opened in the large-scale and majestic arena in the west area of the school. This competition is an important opportunity for all freshmen to demonstrate their own strength and mental power control ability.
Here, we would like to remind all students who have registered to arrive at the venue before 14: today. Time is of utmost importance. If any student fails to arrive on time, he/she will be disqualified from the competition in strict accordance with the regulations and will not be given any chance to make up the game. I hope that all students will take it seriously, make full preparations, participate on time, and show their personal style in the best condition. "
The moment Su Nian saw the message, she froze as if struck by lightning. After a long while, she slapped her forehead and muttered in regret: "Oh, how could I have forgotten this!"
She recalled that when she signed up, she was in good spirits. She signed up purely for fun and had never thought about getting a good ranking in the competition.
Who would have thought that there was a problem with her mental strength now. Even if she wanted to participate, she didn't have the ability to do so. Even if she participated, she wouldn't get any ranking... Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly, her eyes full of loss.
At the same time, the chat group of 7 people was in an uproar, with messages coming one after another, bombarding like artillery shells.
Zhang Kuang's heroic voice seemed to break through the screen: "Hahahaha, brothers, today is the time for us to dominate the arena and show our prowess! I, Zhang Kuang, want everyone to know that I am the king of mental control!"
Zhang Meng was not to be outdone and echoed loudly, "Brother, you are absolutely right! We must let those guys see how powerful we are and let them know who is the real strong one!"
Cheng Yi weakly interrupted: "I... I'm a little nervous. What if I don't perform well?"
Zhao Yan immediately encouraged him, "Cheng Yi, don't worry! Our usual training is not in vain. As long as we perform normally, there will be absolutely no problem!"
Chu Feng still maintained his aloof attitude and said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense and just go all out."
Ye Yao said disdainfully: "Humph, I don't want to participate in this kind of competition. I don't want to be in the spotlight in front of everyone."
Zhang Kuang immediately mocked, "Hey, Ye Yao, you don't dare to go? I'm afraid your D-level mental power can't even connect to the mecha simulation cabin!"
Zhang Meng also followed suit: "That's right, Miss, if you have the guts, why don't you try to compete!"
Ye Yao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She retorted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, you two! I just don't want to participate, not that I don't dare!"
"Huh, who would believe that?" the two brothers said in unison.
Su Nian looked at the lively debate in the group, feeling mixed emotions. She hesitated for a moment, but still typed in the group: "Come on, Ye Yao and I will go to cheer you up this afternoon."
But only she herself knew that she had actually signed up for this competition, but in this situation, she could only sigh silently in her heart: "Alas, I really have the will but not the strength."
Ye Yao quickly replied, "Su Nian, let's be their cheerleaders this afternoon and cheer them on until our throats are hoarse!"
Su Nian smiled wryly and replied, "Okay, although I can't participate in the competition, it's also good to witness everyone's wonderful performance."
The discussion in the group became increasingly heated, and Zhang Kuang even began to imagine himself shining brightly in the arena and being admired by countless people: "When I stand on the podium, the light will simply illuminate the entire universe!"
Zhang Meng joked: "Brother, stop dreaming and think about how to deal with the various difficulties in the competition first!"
Cheng Yi also said: "That's right, don't make a fool of yourself later."
Zhang Kuang replied disdainfully: "What do you know? This is called confidence!"
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everyone stop arguing and save your energy for the competition."
Chu Feng then said: "Talk less and think more."
Everyone was talking at once, and the entire chat group was filled with an atmosphere of tension and expectation.
