Under such circumstances, Professor Zhang was also in a dilemma, not knowing how to make a choice. He looked at Zhang Huang beside him, wanting him to give some suggestions.

Not to mention that Zhang Huang had long treated Shan Yue as his granddaughter, just based on the fact that Shan Yue was a student of his school, he would definitely stand on Shan Yue’s side in this situation.

“I think Shan Yue’s words make sense. Since we’ve already decided that the candidate we’ll send out this year is Shan Yue, we’ll definitely believe her unreservedly, no matter what choice she makes.”

Zhang Huang even pretended to think for a while before slowly speaking. This made his answer more credible. “Whether she wants to participate in the devil training is her right. We have no right to interfere. However, I think the country wants the most outstanding talent in the end. It has to speak with strength, not where she trains.”

Professor Zhang nodded in agreement as he listened to Zhang Huang. He would still listen to the sincere suggestions of an old teacher like Zhang Huang.

“No matter what, the rules are still clearly set here. As long as Shan Yue produces the results in the end, we can let her represent the Federation. However, if Shan Yue can’t produce the results, she will naturally be eliminated.”

After Zhang Huang finished speaking, he revealed a benevolent smile. “Professor Zhang, do you think I make sense?”

“You’re her principal. I don’t need to guess to know that you’ll definitely speak up for her.” Professor Zhang stroked the gray beard under his jaw. “But what you said does make some sense. Anyway, the country wants the results in the end, not the process.”

When Zhang Huang heard this, he knew that Professor Zhang had already relented on this matter. Then, he was not far from success.

“I’ll communicate with the organizing committee. I can agree to Student Shan Yue’s request…”

Before Professor Zhang could finish speaking, Zhang Huang’s face clearly revealed an uncontrollable smile, as if Shan Yue had already won the championship. His emotions were all displayed on his face, making it obvious at a glance.

Professor Zhang immediately said, “Elder Zhang, don’t be happy too early and hurt your back. 1 haven’t finished the second half of my sentence.”

Zhang Huang waved his hand indifferently. “It’s fine. Just tell me. I believe Shan Yue has her own plans. As long as you can satisfy her request, I won’t have any worries.”

Professor Zhang turned around and looked at Shan Yue again. “Even if you agree, you can choose not to participate in the training and come for the exam at the end. However, if you’re not first, you have to recognize your shortcomings and not have any complaints. Don’t say that I didn’t let you participate in the training that caused you to not be first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Yue covered her face with one hand and chuckled. “Professor Zhang, don’t worry. No matter what the final outcome is, I won’t say those words. 1’11 bear all the karma myself. It has nothing to do with others.”

Shan Yue promised the other party, “If 1 can get first place, I’ll be very honored to represent the Federation in the competition and bring glory to the country. As for losing, it’s never been in my dictionary, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Student Shan Yue, it’s a good thing for young people to be confident, but if they’re too confident, it’ll turn into conceit. From there, they’ll blind themselves and not be able to see the reality ahead. You have to remember that there’s always someone better.”

Professor Zhang taught Shan Yue earnestly, “You have to know yourself correctly and not overestimate yourself. You have to know that the students who can become candidates are all talented people. You will naturally feel pressured when competing with them.”

“I understand what you mean, Professor. It’s normal to be worried. If I were in your position, 1 would be worried too. However, if someone makes you worry, someone will reaasure you, and I’m the latter.”

Shan Yue’s lips curled up. “There’s still a difference between talent and genius. During the competition, I’ll let you see how big the gap between the two is. It’s big enough to be insurmountable..”
