Lin Xinghai handed out a total of 18 Energy Balls. Then, Sun Tianbo and Xie Shangyong called over another eight members from their respective teams who had also secured admission.
That brought the total to 26 people. Together with Lin Xinghai's group of four, they formed a team of exactly 30.
A 30-person team would have been considered small before. After all, top geniuses like Qiu Liang and Yuan Zheng had teams of two to three hundred.
But that was before the exam. Now that it was over, only 3,000 of the 30,000-plus candidates would be able to enroll.
It was hard to say how many people from those large teams would be left.
If you went by the proportions, their teams would also be down to twenty or thirty members.
Of course, the teams of people like Qiu Liang were quite strong. They also had certain advantages early on. As a result, their admission rate was probably higher than one-tenth, but their final team size likely wouldn't be much larger than Lin Xinghai's.
