Chapter 79 The Hula Hoop Passing Game
Chapter 79 The Hula Hoop Passing Game
Xuan Mingtian was not flustered at all when faced with his question. After pausing for a minute, he said, "Let me talk about wild unicorns. They eat leaves equivalent to their own weight every day. It takes about a month for them to evolve into iron-shelled pupae. Iron-shelled pupae need about 7 to 10 days to digest the energy they have accumulated before they can evolve into giant needles."
Upon hearing this, the supervising teacher immediately praised, "Xuan's answer was very detailed. Now it's your turn to ask a question."
Xuan Mingtian had a sudden inspiration and decided to ask a very bizarre question: "How can Magikarp evolve into Gyarados?"
The question stunned everyone present. They never expected Xuan Mingtian to ask such a question. Even the now-famous Professor Oak didn't know how to answer it, let alone a first-year student.
"Xuan, even I can't answer this question, let alone him. Why don't you ask another one?" the supervising teacher said helplessly.
"Alright, so the next question is, can Groudon, the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, fly?" Xuan Mingtian decided to ask a question that everyone in his previous life knew.
The teacher said speechlessly, "Xuan, why don't you ask another question? This is one we can't cover."
"Teacher, what's wrong with you all? I thought you all liked reading. Is this all you've got?" Xuan Mingtian continued, "Introduce Bulbasaur and its various evolution types, and how to better train it."
At this moment, everyone present looked at the student who was being asked the question, because this question was slightly more normal than the previous two.
The alarm clock rang in the hand of the student who was asked the question. The outcome was clear: Xuan Mingtian and his team had won.
The losing class immediately questioned, "Teacher, I protest! Xuan's questions were all questions we didn't know. This is unfair!"
"Student, please watch your words. It's okay if you don't understand the first two questions, but the third question is something you'll understand if you read more books. Besides, Bulbasaur is one of the starter Pokémon. Didn't you read the description before you got the Pokémon?" The supervising teacher immediately criticized him sternly.
Ignoring the teacher, Xuan Mingtian led the two and the elves back to the camp. After all, his first two questions were tricky, but the third question was easy to answer as long as one had carefully read the introduction to the elves received upon enrollment.
"Brother Tian, do you understand the two questions you asked earlier?" Yang Bin voiced his previous doubts.
"Of course I know. If I didn't know, what would I be saying? Magikarp can evolve when it has a sudden change in mood or when it forms a bond with its trainer. However, this is very rare. After all, the name 'salty fish' isn't just a casual saying. And Groudon, isn't it common knowledge that it can't fly?"
In Xuan Mingtian's understanding, Magikarp in the real world does need to be stimulated to evolve, which is very difficult for a salted fish Pokémon.
After Xuan Mingtian's explanation, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin both remembered the characteristics of these two elves.
The day passed quickly, and after the alarm clock game ended, the entire camp gradually returned to calm. At the same time, the spirits of the forest and lake also fell silent, with only crickets and nocturnal animals chirping incessantly.
……
"Mumke"
"Who is so inconsiderate, disturbing my sleep?" Xuan Mingtian mumbled sleepily with his eyes still closed.
"Mumke"
Slap, slap, slap—a series of slapping sounds echoed inside the tent.
"Ah, Xiaota and Xiaofei, what are you doing?" Xuan Mingtian said, awakened by being slapped in the face.
"Beautiful Beauty": Get up quickly, Xiao Fei says you need to play with it.
"Alright, alright, my little darlings, I'll wash up and play with you right away." Xuan Mingtian affectionately patted their heads.
After washing up, Xuan Mingtian went outside and saw Xiao Gang and Yang Bin sweating profusely. Xuan Mingtian nodded slightly in agreement, knowing that getting up early to practice martial arts was a good thing. In contrast, he was going further and further down the path of being a lazy bum.
Then Xuan Mingtian took out a cat toy from his backpack. This was a toy he had prepared for Xiaofei. At that time, Xiaogang also asked why he would use a cat toy, but the answer he got was to let Xiaofei practice his leg strength before he became proficient at flying.
"Xiao Fei, come play! Hurry up and catch up with that fluffy bell." Xuan Mingtian waved the cat toy in front of it.
"Mumke"
After meowing a few times, it chased after the cat toy like a penguin with its short legs, while Xiao Gang and Yang Bin's Muke also followed along with its wobbly steps.
After Xiaogang and Yangbin finished practicing, the three little ones, who had been playing for nearly 15 minutes, finally collapsed from exhaustion, and Xiaota took them over to feed them.
“Brother Tian, you said you would practice martial arts with us every day, but you gave up after only three days. This won’t do,” Yang Bin said with a serious expression.
"Binzi, you don't understand. I'm testing your mentality to see how long you can last. It seems to be going very well so far." Xuan Mingtian was spouting nonsense with an air of righteous indignation.
Xiao Gang gave it a disdainful look and said, "Tch, training your mentality? Just say you want to sleep in."
Xuan Mingtian chuckled and then fell silent, quickly eating the breakfast that Xiao Ta had prepared for the three of them with the other two, as there was very little time left before they had to meet up.
In no time, the trio arrived at the meeting point, which was already crowded with people waiting for the teacher to speak.
"Good morning, students! You all look great, you must have had a good night's rest last night. We'll finish the remaining two games this morning, and then head back to the academy this afternoon. The first game is a hula hoop relay. The three classes that take the longest will lose. It starts in five minutes," the referee announced.
Class 1 meeting point
Class monitor Bai Ying said, "Classmates, when you catch the hula hoop, you must step over it with your feet first, and then pass it over your head. Let's practice first."
The ringing of the bell signaled the start of the competition. Each class arrived at the venue and lined up in a row, holding the hula hoops that had just been distributed.
"The match begins."
At the teacher's command, each class immediately picked up a hula hoop and began passing it around the hoop. The first group from Class 1 was a trio, and they passed the hoop much faster than the other classes.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Hurry up!
"You idiot, use your feet to cross first."
A series of urging voices echoed throughout the venue, and the trio was no exception, all desperately urging the students behind them to hurry up, as they did not want to lose just like that.
However, their idea was good, but reality was cruel. Class 1's progress stopped at a chubby boy who was almost at the end. Seeing this, the trio felt their hearts sink. They hadn't expected such a problem to occur.
