Chapter 5 - Chapter 5. Lin Yoyo Wong E summarized three key pieces of information regarding the golden finger.

First, he could sign in once per day. Second, he could only sign in at a single location once. And third, the reward from signin were random. Despite this, it seemed that numerous locations on Earth remained available for signin. The mere thought of signing in at all these places stirred something deep within Wong e, igniting a fervor in his blood. Moreover, not only Earth, but the universe itself was replete with countless locations awaiting his sign in if that were the case. His rate of advancement might surpass imagination, far exceeding that of Luo Fong. Thus, the night passed in a haze of Wong Yi's grand aspirations. The following day, he arrived at First High School in Guuching District. At the entrance of the school, students clad in uniforms exude a vibrant youthful energy, entering in small clusters. Just as Wangi approached the school gate, he heard someone calling his name from behind. Turning around, he couldn't help but smile. It was Leong, Xiao Han, and Yang Zimming, three boys making their way towards him. The one on the left, sporting a buzzcut and towering at nearly 2 m, wore a predominantly white checkered shirt paired with black casual trousers. His sharp gaze and confident stride, imparted an undeniable aura of authority. The boy in the middle, slightly plump with fair skin and tousled hair, dyed a light gold, possessed a pair of charming peach blossom eyes that crinkled in a way that evoked amusement. The one on the right, tall and slender, exuded a scholarly demeanor, dawning goldroom spectacles and a friendly smile as they strolled together. Their collective presence caused those nearby to instinctively part ways. In the prestigious number one high school of Guing district, five senior martial arts students exist. Wong E and the trio before him are among them with the remaining member being a girl. Unlike Wong he whose family circumstances are modest. The others hail from more affluent backgrounds. The adage the rich cultivate their minds while the strong cultivate their bodies holds true in any era. After all, the wealthy can afford specialized coaching, nutritional supplements, and exclusive training facilities, granting them significant advantages. Wong he stands as the sole exception among the five which elevates the esteem in which leo and the others hold him. Gio Jang city is rather small and since they all attend the same high school their paths frequently cross fostering familiarity. Wongi shares a decent rapport with the trio who each maintain their own social circles. Nonetheless, he is one of the few individuals they regard with respect. Wongi, it's been a while since we last saw you. What have you been up to? Leaf Fong, the most robust among them, approached and clapped Wong Yi's shoulder with enthusiasm. Suddenly noticing something a miss, he scrutinized Wongi more intently and exclaimed, "You seem different somehow." Wongi offered a slight smile, attributing it to his recent dedication to training, which had likely resulted in some progress. "Is that so?" Leon queried, a hint of skepticism in his voice. The slightly plump Xiao Han chimed in. "You truly are a training fanatic. Rarantee you. We can't keep up with your zeal." He feigned a shake of his head. The most scholarly looking Yong Zimming adjusted his glasses and remarked, "Wong is indeed impressive. The trio's admiration for Wong, it was palpable. Such respect is not easily won. Given their proud natures, it is rare for them to regard their peers with such esteem. Only Wong e, who has devoted himself to training and academics, rarely indulging in recreational activities, remains unaffected by external distractions. Individuals like him, barring any unforeseen circumstances, are destined for great achievements, which is why Young Zimming and the others are eager to associate with him. The four boys bantered and laughed as they approached the school gate, drawing the curious glances of many students who whispered among themselves. The five senior martial arts students of Guing district's number one high school. The sight of four of them together was indeed captivating. Wongi, with only two months until the college entrance examination, have you decided which university you plan to apply to? Leon inquired. I made up my mind. I intend to apply to the Jang and Military Academy. Given your excellent grades and status as a senior martial arts student, why not join me? Securing a place that would lead to an officer's commission, promising a prosperous future within the military. In this era marked by the war against monstrous creatures, the status of soldiers remains exceedingly high accompanied by substantial benefits making militarymies a coveted goal for many. Wongi smiled faintly. I plan to participate in the preliminary martial artist assessment. At this leong and the others halted in their tracks, turning in unison to gaze at Wongi, their expressions filled with astonishment. The preliminary martial artist assessment. You? They found it difficult to comprehend. Yong Zimming could not help but exclaim, "From what I know, that assessment is quite rigorous. One's physical fitness must meet high standards. Given our current capabilities, passing is nearly impossible." Indeed, Wong E. Shiaoan added, "I understand your aspiration to become a martial artist, but it's not something just anyone can achieve. Even if you pass the preliminary assessment, you will face an even more challenging practical combat assessment. Only by succeeding in both can one truly be considered a martial artist. and the risks involved can be severe. I've heard that every year over 3,000 candidates from the Jang and Bay City attempt the practical assessment. Yet only about twoth3s successfully pass with many suffering severe injuries or worse. Leong scrutinized Wongi. Are you serious? He had sensed the change in Wong since earlier but could not pinpoint what it was. Now hearing Wong Yis words, he recognized an unprecedented confidence emanating from him. I want to give it a try, Wongi stated earnestly. Observing his demeanor, Leong, Xiao Han, and Yong Zimming, well acquainted with Wongis character, understood he was resolute. Although they felt it was too reckless for Wong to abandon the promising path of the college entrance examination for the uncertain trials of a martial artist, they reconsidered. Wongi had not said he would forego his studies, merely that he intended to participate in the preliminary assessment. They remained unaware that Wong Yi's current physical prowess already exceeded the standards required for the preliminary assessment. Upon entering his classroom, Wong E approached his seat located in the second to last row at the back where his shy and gentle deskmate Lin Yuyu was already seated. "Good morning, Lin Yu Yu." Wong E greeted her with ease. A habitual courtesy. "Good morning, Wong E." Lin Yuyu replied, blinking her eyes. Wong e noted her striking beauty, though she was typically quiet and seemed reluctant to engage with others, giving her an air of solitude. However, this introversion suited Wong E, who appreciated her assistance in various matters, thus fostering a favorable impression of her. Wong Wong E. Lingu eventually mustered the courage to lean slightly closer and whispered. On the 18th of next month, could you come to my birthday party? The faintly sweet fragrance of youthful innocence wafted toward Wong, he as he turned to meet her gaze. Lin Yoys cheeks flushed a delicate rose, and she averted her eyes shily. Wong he smiled gently. Since it's your invitation, Linu, I would be delighted to attend. Recently blessed with newfound confidence, he felt no inclination to decline her request, especially after having been deskmates for so long. Moreover, her sincere invitation warranted a gracious acceptance. That's wonderful. Linus face lit up with a radiant smile, akin to a blooming flower, momentarily taking Wong E by surprise. Observing their interaction, several classmates nearby cast curious glances, speculating whether Wong E, and Lin Yuyu might be romantically involved. This rumor swiftly circulated throughout the class, and though Wong he caught wind of it, he paid a little mind, merely chuckling it off. Lin Yuyu, however, remained blissfully unaware of the chatter surrounding them.
