Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution

To be honest, when facing other Humans of the same level, it's genuinely difficult for her not to crush her opponent and secure a victory. Of course, this is merely the early stage. Later on, when everyone is at least a Legendary Level Creature, the advantages of the Human race will be significantly highlighted. They can punch Jiaolongs, kick Phoenixes, and be considered invincible among their peers against countless evolving creatures. However, these are all matters for when one's creature level reaches the Legendary Level Category. In the current College Entrance Exam, where Rare Level Creatures can be popular candidates for top scorer, the Demon Plant Clan still holds a slight edge.

I originally thought Li Changxiao was my biggest rival, but now... it's uncertain. Could An Shihua be my biggest obstacle on the path to becoming champion? Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Just as Su Yan was contemplating this, a loud THUMP suddenly came from the Martial Arts Platform in front of him. Following the sound, it turned out Zheng Haixi had fallen off the Martial Arts Platform. In this match, which lasted less than three minutes, he was eliminated in a truly humiliating fashion. The humiliation stemmed from the fact that his opponent, An Shihua, hadn't moved an inch the entire time. She just stood there, her beautiful eyes occasionally flashing with a fleeting red light. Then, despite looking quite confident before the fight, Zheng Haixi quickly and mysteriously fell off the Martial Arts Platform on his own. His journey regrettably ended in the top eight.

Following that, the chief examiner on the Martial Arts Platform announced loudly, "The winner is An Shihua!"

The moment the examiner's voice fell, the audience below erupted into a roar as loud as a tsunami. Among them, the people from Haiyuan City and the female members of the audience shouted the most excitedly.

"Shi Hua! Incredible! Shi Hua! You're the pride of us women! Shi Hua! I'm your fan! Shi Hua! I want to play games with you!"

"Shi Hua! My god! You didn't even have to move and instantly defeated your opponent; you're even more incredible than Su Yan!"

"Today, I, Yang Qiaoer, declare this: if Goddess An, as powerful as she is, still doesn't become the top scorer, I'll marry without asking for a car, a house, or a betrothal gift!"

Facing these almost frenzied shouts, An Shihua, on the stage, remained unmoved. Her expression was cold, devoid of any emotion. Then, under everyone's gaze, she slowly walked down from the Martial Arts Platform.

Next, unlike the other contestants, she didn't hurry to the logistics area to receive an Advanced Level HP Pill. Instead, she walked with a steady pace into an empty corner. By the time she returned, the large screen in the square had just updated its data.

First match: Su Yan wins!

Second match: Lü Shuyu wins!

Third match: Li Changxiao wins!

Fourth match: An Shihua wins!

As soon as the data was updated, the female spectators in the venue erupted with excitement once more. Although they had already celebrated when An Shihua won a few minutes prior, when the winner's data was updated on the screen, they couldn't help but feel a second wave of excitement. Because in the Evolutionary Science College Entrance Exam of Nanjiang Province for the past ten years, no female student had ever made it to the top four! Yet today, An Shihua's performance had forcefully broken through this barrier. This understandably thrilled her fellow female supporters.

Shortly afterward, the data on the screen updated again. It changed from displaying the winners' information to the matchups for the fifth round of the competition.

First match: Li Changxiao vs Lü Shuyu

Second match: Su Yan vs An Shihua

As soon as the matchups were released, everyone in the venue could no longer contain themselves and erupted with intense excitement. The male host, Zhao Lei, on the high platform felt the same way. His HP surged, and he announced loudly:

"My god! Aren't these two matchups too dramatic?"

"The first match: Li Changxiao versus Lü Shuyu! They are Dongguan City's top two. Enemies are truly fated to meet!"

"The second match: Su Yan versus An Shihua! Both are dark horses in this year's College Entrance Exam!"

"Throughout the competition, they've both steamrolled their opponents, showcasing an aura of invincibility!"

"I, Zhao Lei, have to say, this Big Data Matching System really knows what it's doing! It's awesome!" With that, the host Zhao Lei couldn't resist giving the Big Data Matching System a thumbs-up.

At this moment, a round of congratulations also arose from the leaders' seating area.

"Li Changxiao against Lü Shuyu, this year Dongguan City's College Entrance Exam results guarantee at least a second-place finish. Let me congratulate Director Li in advance!"

"Who would have thought? In previous years, Narrow State always suppressed Dongguan, but this year, things are completely chaotic."

"Shenzhen +1; saying more would just bring tears."

"Partial Mountain +1. Though it stings a bit, congratulations are still in order for Director Li."

Facing the congratulations from those around him, Li Zihao, the Director of Dongguan City's Education Bureau, smiled modestly and said, "Just luck, pure luck. This happens maybe once in a decade. Dongguan's educational foundation still can't compare to your respective cities."

Meanwhile, in the waiting area, Lü Shuyu also remarked to Li Changxiao, "I can't believe it, Li Changxiao!"

"We've competed for three years in high school, and now we even have to face each other in the top scorer's tournament."

Li Changxiao responded with a wry smile, "Sigh, after three years, I haven't beaten Brother Shuyu even once. My heart aches, baby!"

"Ugh, Li Changxiao, don't be disgusting! A grown man like you calling himself 'baby'?"

"Are you trying to make me puke before the match to weaken my strength?"

"What's there to weaken? Brother Shuyu, I probably couldn't beat you even if you fought with one hand tied behind your back."

"Li Changxiao, stop trying to jinx me."

"If you keep this up, I'm afraid you'll jinx me out of the competition."

"That jinxing stuff is useless; strength is what truly matters. Brother Shuyu, you're being too modest."

"I'm not being modest. Actually, our strengths are quite similar; it all depends on who performs better."

At this moment, Li Changxiao and Lü Shuyu were chatting, both wearing modest expressions. In reality, however, both harbored their own ulterior motives. Lü Shuyu, especially, was inwardly ecstatic. Those two powerhouses, Su Yan and An Shihua, have been terrifyingly dominant so far. I have to admit, I'm not confident I can beat them. But being matched against Li Changxiao, Dongguan City's perennial runner-up, I'm absolutely confident of victory! This means I'm guaranteed at least the provincial second-place title, and I might even snatch the top scorer's position! Thinking of this, Lü Shuyu almost laughed out loud but managed to hold it in.

On the other side, Li Changxiao was filled with immense anticipation. I've been playing the pig for three years, and now it's finally time to eat the tiger! As soon as I get on stage, I'll lay my cards on the table and go all out. While everyone underestimates me, I'll instantly defeat Lü Shuyu and put on a spectacular show! TSK TSK! Just thinking about it is exhilarating!

Compared to these two, Su Yan and An Shihua were much calmer. However, seeing how animatedly the other two were chatting, Su Yan soon found himself somewhat influenced.

Sitting here doing nothing is pretty boring, Su Yan thought. He then stood up and walked over to An Shihua. I should have some pre-match interaction with her.

However, he had barely taken two steps towards her when he caught a familiar scent, causing his brow to furrow slightly. He sniffed carefully and finally realized it! The scent in the air was actually coming from An Shihua in front of him. His expression immediately turned strange. No way?

With this thought, Su Yan composed himself and stopped in front of An Shihua. Then, with a smile, he initiated a conversation:

"Student Shi Hua, I didn't expect us to be matched. Good luck later."

Su Yan's greeting sounded very official, so official that even he felt embarrassed by it. As expected of a typical 'steel straight man'—utterly clueless when it comes to sweet-talking a girl. In other words, he was not eloquent at all. If it had been a Womanizer, on the other hand, that greeting would have been, well, uh... This touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge; he simply couldn't imagine it.

Seeing Su Yan approach her to chat, An Shihua, though typically aloof, still possessed basic courtesy. She replied tersely, "Mm, good luck."

The instant An Shihua opened her mouth, Su Yan's brow furrowed; an extremely familiar scent assailed his nostrils. He then began to question reality, thinking, Is this for real?

Noting Su Yan's strange expression, An Shihua unusually took the initiative to ask, "Student Su Yan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Uh... this..." Su Yan stammered, momentarily unsure if he should voice his suspicion. After some thought, he decided to go for it; he was simply too curious.

He leaned closer to An Shihua and, lowering his voice, said, "Student An Shihua, your breath... it seems to have the scent of Mountain-Laurel..."
