"He Jingting!"

At this moment, Qiao Hongxi's indifferent voice echoed from inside the room.

"Damn it! I'm not going!"

He Jingting cursed angrily, his face full of resentment.

"Just go; let's see what other excuses he can come up with!"

Mu Jinyu calmly suggested to He Jingting, eyes shining with a strange light.

Cai Zhengyan, Yang Chao, and Guo Songlin remained silent, not offering any suggestions, unsure if He Jingting would face the same humiliation if he participated in the test.

So, they didn't suggest whether He Jingting should try it or not.

He Jingting paused for a moment, then finally cursed, "Damn, I'll go in and see what defects in my character he claims I have!"

With that, he stormed towards the office as if heading heroically toward a sacrificial death.

"Bang!"

The door closed.

Everyone present watched the door with curious and amused expressions, silently counting the time to see how long He Jingting would take to come out.

Before long, seconds ticked by, the room opened again, and He Jingting walked out, his face gloomy.

His expression was terrifyingly dark, as if he had any strength, and wasn't an ordinary worker, there would probably be a fight inside!

"These people, all out in less than a minute, looked terrifying, like they've got dozens of lives on their conscience!"

"Usually, not so many people get rejected in a row, right? I guess they all have terrible personality defects. Aren't they supposed to be testing at the Martial Arts School? Did they get these people from a mental institution instead?"

"..."

Everyone watched He Jingting, whispering with schadenfreude in their eyes.

"You're the crazy ones, damn it!"

He Jingting couldn't hold back when he heard their disdainful chatter, turning his head to yell angrily at them.

The crowd might really have thought he was crazy, hunching their shoulders without rebuking, eyes full of contempt and dislike.

Seeing them fall silent and looking at him with such repulsive eyes, He Jingting felt as if his punch landed on air, with no outlet for his anger.

After all, they hadn't said anything else to him; it seemed wrong to keep swearing at them, or he'd really look nuts!

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly and walked boldly toward Mu Jinyu and the others.

Cai Zhengyan and Yang Chao met his approach with little emotional change, only sharing a sense of helplessness as fellow sufferers.

Mu Jinyu asked, "What reason did they find to trouble you this time?"

He Jingting, recalling the scene, couldn't help but laugh, full of sarcasm and anger, "They asked me what I'd do if I found a penny on the roadside. I said, of course, I'd give it to a police officer, and they said I was lying and told me to leave!"

Continuing, He Jingting had such a gloomy expression he seemed ready to commit murder, "Damn it, it's only a penny; would I bother to keep it? What did I lie about? Besides, does a penny even circulate anymore these days?"

He nearly lost it and cursed out the examiners' entire families!

But knowing these people were powerful, and he was just an ordinary man, he feared recklessly cursing would lead to trouble for himself and Guo Songlin, so he held back his anger, resisting the urge to speak out.

"Heh, interesting..."

Mu Jinyu, after listening, replied with an icy look and a mocking smile, "Three consecutive times of deliberate difficulties, let's see how they'll trouble me next and where they found the nerve to do so!"

Although the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow isn't under his control, the Dragon King Hall does have some connections with them, not to mention they still rely on him. He couldn't believe Xia Ruochen would ignore any discovered deceptions within the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

If, in the end, Xia Ruochen turned a blind eye and blocked his interference, fine, he'd handle it himself then!

"Don't talk nonsense, Little Mu..."

Cai Zhengyan, hearing Mu Jinyu's words, looked worried and hurriedly advised him not to act rashly to avoid bringing trouble upon himself.

"Alright, the character test ends here; next, please follow me to the practice field's 'Punch Strength Tester' to test your strength!"

At this point, Qiao Hongxi and other examiners filed out of the office, list in hand, announcing to the crowd.

Upon hearing Qiao Hongxi's words, Cai Zhengyan and Guo Songlin looked surprised, even Mu Jinyu showed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

"Little Mu hasn't taken the character test yet; why's it ending so suddenly?"

Cai Zhengyan asked Guo Songlin in surprise, "Didn't you get him a spot?"

"Yes, the director did promise me, but the current one isn't the director. Instructor Qiao said earlier that the director left due to an emergency and left the testing in his hands!"

After saying this, Guo Songlin took a deep breath, unable to contain his anger any longer, feeling this was extremely unjust!

Exhaling a deep breath of frustration, Guo Songlin strode directly toward Qiao Hongxi and others, shouting, "Instructor Qiao, wait a moment!"

Cai Zhengyan, Yang Chao, and He Jingting hadn't expected Guo Songlin to demand an explanation from Qiao Hongxi. After being momentarily stunned, it was too late to intervene.

Cai Zhengyan gritted his teeth, followed Guo Songlin, and pulled on his sleeve, trying to signal him not to say anything rashly.

Mu Jinyu, watching this unfold, showed a gaze of commendation at Guo Songlin's back, surprised by his bravery.

Fearing any trouble for Guo Songlin, he stepped forward to follow.

"Hm?!"

Qiao Hongxi and others were about to head to the practice field but halted at Guo Songlin's words, turning back with indifferent looks to ask, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Yushu stood lazily by the side, a look of disdain and contempt flickering in his eyes when seeing Guo Songlin couldn't hold back stepping forward.

Guo Songlin ignored Qiao Yushu, keeping his gaze steady on Qiao Hongxi as he questioned coldly, "May I ask, Instructor Qiao, why according to standard procedure, the first round character test needs over twenty questions to make a basic judgment, but for my friends' evaluation, you judged their failure with just one question, claiming character defects?"

"Could Instructor Qiao give me an explanation?"

Disregarding Cai Zhengyan pulling at his sleeve, Guo Songlin's eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at Qiao Hongxi.

"Haha... what a joke!" Qiao Hongxi, upon hearing Guo Songlin's questioning, was momentarily stunned before scoffing, "Are you here to instruct me on how to do my job? Who's the examiner, you or me?"

"Do I owe you an explanation for how I do things?!"

With eyes full of disdain, Qiao Hongxi responded calmly.

"Of course, normally, I wouldn't bother explaining to fools like you, but as the examiner, I'll give you an explanation to keep formalities and avoid being accused of deliberately giving you a hard time!"

"With limited time, I can't ask everyone over twenty questions, can I? Asking someone takes a good ten minutes; if I did that with over a hundred people here, wouldn't it be nighttime before I'm done?"

"So, for this test, I didn't ask anyone over twenty questions; I only asked five or six, or three or four questions, enough to fairly judge their character!"

"You can ask around if I'm lying!"

Qiao Hongxi spoke confidently.

The crowd exchanged glances, then nodded, "Indeed, the instructor only asked us a few questions."

Qiao Hongxi looked at Guo Songlin with a mocking gaze, sneering, "See? Am I lying?"

"And none of your friends passed the character test. I think you should reflect on your own issues before questioning me!"
