### Chapter 141: An Interesting Opponent
It is said that every art examination candidate, right before the big test, will invoke the gods.
For instance, art students pray to Da Vinci hoping that the old master will bless them to pass the exam.
Music students will pay homage to Beethoven, Mozart, and others, channeling their powers!
And for Lin Tian, there’s someone he must mention.
He doesn’t come from a big corporate background, nor has he gone through traditional idol training.
He’s just a tiny and powerless “solo trainee.”
However, the competitors he faces are all trainees cultivated by top entertainment companies!
In this grand audition program comprised of 100 of the strongest trainees,
he, as a “solo trainee,” fights his way through, taking down one so-called elite trainee after another!
In the end, he snatched the championship title for that year, debuting in the center position!
With strength that proves true—that gold always shines, and that basketball always makes it into the hoop!
Such an inspirational and energetic existence.
Now, Lin Tian is praying to the heavens, and only that solo trainee god is responding to him.
The young man can’t help but cross his arms over his chest, silently reciting in his heart:
K’un Men!
“What are you doing?”
“.”
With a melodious voice ringing out,
Lin Tian turned his head.
A plain face greeted him, a fresh high ponytail arranged at the back.
A white shirt, slightly stretched over the chest, its button fastened all the way to the top.
The morning sun cast a golden light on the girl’s profile, spreading an air of youth around.
Gan Yan Yu held two cups of soy milk, tilting her head, staring blankly at him.
“I—”
“Hey—”
Gan Yan Yu extended her hand, offering one of the soy milk cups to Lin Tian.
“It’s still warm.”
“.”
Lin Tian received the soy milk,
but found himself lost in thought, gazing at Gan Yan Yu.
“Why are you also wearing a white shirt?”
“Is that a problem?”
“No, I just thought you would wear a dress.”
“That’s too flashy; a white shirt is much more low-key.”
Gan Yan Yu smiled slightly.
Low-key, huh?
Looking at the girl’s smiling face,
Lin Tian suddenly recalled her appearance when they first met.
That careful demeanor, always seeming to be engrossed in her own little world, quietly existing, seemingly undisturbed by external matters.
Yet, this very image has consumed all of Lin Tian’s memories of youth.
Lin Tian glanced down at his own outfit.
Both of them were in white shirts.
Standing together like this… definitely looks like a couple’s outfit.
Lin Tian took a sip of the soy milk.
Sweet.
“.”
Suddenly, Gan Yan Yu raised her hand, pointing into the distance.
“Hey, the first draw has started! Let’s go!”
She then grabbed Lin Tian’s arm, pulling him toward the distant teaching building.
Caught off guard, Lin Tian was dragged along by Gan Yan Yu.
“.”
The two suddenly weaving through the square quickly attracted the attention of many students.
“Wow. Are there really this many beautiful candidates this year?”
“That guy is so handsome. He doesn’t look like an art exam candidate; he looks like a professional model.”
“I admit all of us music students have this level of looks.”
“They’re so good-looking! I want to ask that guy for his WeChat. But the one beside him must be his girlfriend, right?”
“.”
As the discussions grew louder, many students craned their necks to get a better look.
Unfortunately, due to their brisk pace, many could only inhale their exhaust.
In the art exam scene, encountering handsome guys and beautiful girls is the most normal thing.
After all, studying art means, to some extent, having the looks!
But to see two as stunning as this is truly rare!
The lead teacher from “Spring and Autumn” stood at the front of the group, witnessing the earlier scene.
His expression turned somewhat perplexed.
Where did these two students come from?
This shouldn’t be happening.
Candidates with such outstanding appearances should have been talked about by every teacher in Qingzhou.
Before each year’s exam, training institutions share information to predict the overall ranking across the province.
In competing for spots in the top ten, candidates with outstanding professional abilities are considered primary opponents for tailored study.
Even if their grades are lacking, such high looks should still be well known for other reasons.
Could it be…
They didn’t attend a training institution?
The lead teacher fell into deep thought.
At that moment, the long-haired boy standing beside the teacher spoke up:
“Well, they could just be students from out of town.”
The teacher turned to glance.
The speaker was Wu Yi, this year’s top music exam candidate from “Spring and Autumn.”
He specializes in piano.
As a student from a training institution that has produced music exam champions for three consecutive years,
Wu Yi serves as the face of this year’s “Spring and Autumn” arts exam, heralded as a natural performer with a keen sensitivity to sheet music, even expected to surpass the last three seniors’ scores.
Privately, he has been predicted by many arts institutions to have the best chance of becoming this year’s music champion in Qingjiang Province!
“That could be a possibility.”
The teacher nodded.
In fact,
the reason he was paying attention to these suddenly appearing students was due to the “unknown.”
Having such striking appearances and yet being virtually unknown in this art exam; it raised a red flag.
Surely, two people couldn’t have just recently “started preparing” for the art exam?
Since he has a complete grasp of all the excellent candidates in Qingjiang and has a predicted ranking in mind, suddenly coming across two completely unfamiliar faces definitely prompts one to ponder.
Considering if they may be strong competitors.
However, upon careful reflection, it was simply impossible.
“Don’t worry, after all, students who like to spend their time on looks like these are common every year; they’re mostly useless students,” the teacher commented.
“Hmm, I actually hope to encounter some interesting candidates.”
“Huh?”
“This year’s performance levels are too low, aren’t they? A little surprise makes it interesting, ha-ha!”
The long-haired boy leaned back and laughed.
“My first exam room is A7, the 9th one.”
“I’m in A9, the 10th one.”
“Great! Then we’re on the same floor!”
Gan Yan Yu clapped her hands joyfully.
“Alright then.”
Lin Tian said, “Let’s get started on our exams; we can meet back here later?”
Since the order of their exams and the venues were different, and they also had different subjects for instrumental music,
they would need to face the upcoming battleground separately.
“Okay.” Gan Yan Yu nodded.
“Alright, let’s part here.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Good luck!”
“Thanks!”
After mutual encouragement, the two walked towards their respective exam rooms.
With previous performance experience, Lin Tian’s mentality was already quite calm.
Soon, Lin Tian arrived at the first exam room.
Following the sequence, it wasn’t long before it was Lin Tian’s turn.
“.”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian walked inside.
