The lecture hall, which could accommodate 300 students, was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was staring at Zhou Wen Bin. Some of the more sinister examinees couldn't wait for him to make a fool of himself.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
Zhou Wen Bin, who was well-educated, performed extremely well.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, three halos casually appeared on the five main examiners. From the way he did it, it was obvious that he was already very familiar with it. Releasing these halos was as easy as eating a meal for him.
"This Encyclopedic Knowledge can actually cover the entire lecture hall? Very impressive! "
"Model Teacher isn't bad either. This means that he pays great attention to his morals and cultivation!"
"And this Lingering Melody, many great teachers who have been teaching for a few years still haven't comprehended it."
"That's right, he might have already started teaching secretly. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to master it."
The examiners discussed softly.
Firstly, it was because Zhou Wen Bin did very well. He could be said to be the most outstanding out of the 128 people who passed.
Secondly, it was because of his identity as secondary saint Zhou's great-grandson.
The examiners praised Zhou Wen Bin in front of everyone and increased his popularity. It wasn't a big deal, so why wouldn't they do it?
Anyway, praising didn't cost anything?
When Liu Fan heard this, he had a different opinion.
Encyclopedic Knowledge was the standard of a high-ranking great teacher. Moreover, they had mastered it very early because every high-ranking great teacher was a learner. Otherwise, how could they have distinguished themselves when they were young?
The second Model Teacher was a little difficult because most great teachers didn't have any family background. They were all ordinary people who climbed their way up, so naturally, their manners were a little worse.
Whether people were willing to admit it or not, the descendants of these aristocratic families had a huge advantage in this aspect.
This Zhou Wen Bin was secondary saint Zhou's beloved grandson. He often followed by his side, listened to his lectures, and felt his elegance, so he would naturally gain something from it.
To put it bluntly, a truly powerful great teacher wouldn't affect the effect of his lectures even if he didn't have Model Teacher.
On the contrary, Zhou Wen Bin comprehended it at such a young age. This meant that he was very prideful and had some vanity.
Of course, it was normal for young people to have some small problems!
As for the third Lingering Melody, it was barely satisfactory. It didn't improve the quality of his lectures and was just icing on the cake.
To put it bluntly, Liu Fan felt that Zhou Wen Bin's three halos weren't suitable and were too common. To a poor person, they were very powerful.
However, it wasn't enough for a secondary saint's beloved grandson. If he were to encounter a serious great teacher, he wouldn't even be qualified.
According to the rules, the assessment had already ended. However, the four-star at the side spoke.
"You're Zhou Wen Bin? He is Second Sage Zhou's great-grandson, right? "
This 4-star great teacher smiled and looked at Zhou Wen Bin dotingly. "Then your family must be very knowledgeable. You should have more than three great teacher halos, right?"
"That's right. Why don't you use it and let everyone see it? It can also be considered a form of encouragement. Knowing that there are always people better than you, they will work even harder."
A three-star also smiled and teased.
This was another chance for Zhou Wen Bin to perform.
"How would I dare to disobey teacher's orders?"
Zhou Wen Bin was humble and polite. After bowing to the two examiners, he released another great teacher halo.
Whoosh!
First, a golden ball of light shot out from Zhou Wen Bin's hand. It flew to the middle of the classroom and hovered below the ceiling. Then, golden arrows started shooting out.
"Oh my god, it's actually an Epiphany!"
"That's impressive."
"Calm down, he has a secondary saint great-grandfather who teaches him by example every day. Do you have one? So don't compare yourself with this kind of genius. "
The examinees discussed. Some people were very disappointed because Zhou Wen Bin's performance was very outstanding. However, when they thought of his identity, they felt relieved.
This was like an ordinary person competing with a rich second-generation heir whose father was on the list of the world's richest. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
He couldn't win.
The four-star examiner was still waiting for Zhou Wen Bin to show off his next halo, but when he saw him stop, he understood that this was his limit. Hence, he quickly praised him.
"Very good!"
This time, even Liu Fan couldn't help but nod his head, because he was suddenly enlightened. It was a rather practical halo.
Its effect was to help others gain enlightenment after it was released.
It was like when you were doing a question and couldn't understand it no matter how hard you thought about it. Or when you were playing chess and you were stuck in a deadlock.
The fact that Zhou Wen Bin was able to gain enlightenment meant that he was naturally intelligent and often helped others. Furthermore, he was successful. This meant that he was outstanding beyond his peers.
Zhou Wen Bin bowed politely.
However, he felt a little proud in his heart.
I really want to see Li Ziqi's expression. She must be shocked by my talent, right?
Hmph, you want to break the record?
You must be daydreaming!
When he heard that Sun Mo's eldest disciple, the Great Tang Princess Li Ziqi whom he had rejected before, was going to participate in the 1-star exam this year, secondary saint Zhou smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.
However, Zhou Wen Bin was unhappy when he heard this.
What's this?
Using the record to slap his face to prove that great-grandfather wasn't good at judging people?
Zhou Wen Bin didn't care, but Zhou Wen Bin did.
From his point of view, such a despicable person had to be taught a lesson. Hence, he hid it from his family and registered for the 1-star exam.
It was all for the sake of getting first place and proving to the world how amazing his great-grandfather was.
After all, he was personally taught by his great-grandfather.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if he could snipe Li Ziqi or even defeat her personally.
"Maybe that Li Ziqi is innocent and doesn't have the intention to slap grandpa's face. She's purely being forced by Sun Mo to maintain their fame. However, it doesn't matter. As long as I feel that you guys have a problem and deserve to be punished, it's fine."
This was Zhou Wen Bin's style of doing things.
Huang Meibo's lips twitched in disdain. That's it?
Secondary saint's beloved grandson was merely so-so!
On the other side, Li Ziqi's expression was calm, but she felt joy in her heart.
That's it?
I'll win for sure, alright?
Adults still wanted face, let alone a 15-year-old girl like the little sunny egg. If it wasn't for her pride that was off the charts, she wouldn't have gone to Yunting Lake to commit suicide.
After that, this complacent feeling dissipated and turned into intense gratitude and worship.
Her teacher's smile appeared in her mind.
Without him, there wouldn't be the current me!
No, I should be glad that secondary saint Zhou didn't accept me back then. Otherwise, no matter how amazing I am, I wouldn't be able to reach the standard of his grandson, right?
"Next, Li Ziqi, come up the stage!"
Liu Fan called out her name and then frowned.
This should be because someone in the upper echelons was unhappy with Sun Mo and was making things difficult for him. Otherwise, why would they put these two students together?
This was clearly to make a comparison.
(Aren't you very impressive?)
(You even let your students participate in the 1-star examination?)
(Then let someone more impressive come and suppress your students!)
Usually, during an examination, the one in front would be the genius with the best performance. The examinees at the back would usually feel immense pressure and might not be able to perform well.
Zhou Wen Bin, who was about to go out, stood at the door when he heard this name.
A 3-star examiner glanced at him.
(Should I chase him away or not?)
According to the rules, the examinees had to leave after the examination. However, the beloved grandson of the secondary saint would definitely be an exception, so there was no harm in taking a look.
Hence, this examiner pretended not to see it.
"What a beautiful girl!"
Looking at Li Ziqi's appearance and feeling the noble aura she exuded, many of the youths present felt ashamed of their inferiority.
(This kind of girl is something I'll never be able to get my hands on in my entire life.)
After Li Ziqi stood on the stage, she raised her hand and used Retentive Memory!
The golden halo spread throughout the classroom. Everyone present could hear and see clearly, and their thoughts became more active.
"This..."
The examinees still couldn't understand how terrifying this halo was, but the five examiners were shocked.
Did he have a photographic memory?
And it was so skillful?
The few 3-star examiners couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wen Bin.
Retentive Memory was stronger than Encyclopedic Knowledge by three levels because it was publicly recognized as the strongest support halo for helping one in learning.
Zhou Wen Bin's eyes twitched violently.
So amazing?
No problem! No problem!
No panic! Don't panic!
The examinees would definitely use their best and most powerful halo when they went up. Hence, she definitely wouldn't be so outstanding after this.
The second halo, Gushing Thoughts!
Zhou Wen Bin smiled. (My guess was right.)
The few examiners heaved a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that this young girl would use another halo of the same level. That would be too scary.
Li Ziqi's expression was calm as she raised her hand and used the third great teacher halo.
Swoosh!
Unrealized Dream enveloped the five examiners.
"F * ck, this is bad!"
Liu Fan was a 5-star great teacher after all. The moment he saw Li Ziqi acting, he felt that things were going to be bad. As expected, he lost consciousness at the next instant.
...
"Little Fan, let's go play together!"
A few of the examinees held bamboo poles and a net woven from willow branches, calling the six-year-old Liu Fan to go play.
"I'm not going. I want to read books. I want to become the most amazing great teacher in the world!"
While his friends were catching fish in the stream, Liu Fan had already finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics!
While his friends were catching autumn cicadas and chasing after paper kites, Liu Fan had already cultivated to the spirit-refinement realm.
Time passed quickly, and Liu Fan didn't waste a single second.
...
"You're already the top student in the grade, why are you still working so hard? Can't you accompany me to go shopping? "
In the school, his girlfriend's questioning was still vivid in his ears.
"Wait a little more. After I become the top student in the school, I'll accompany you!"
Liu Fan spoke like this again and again. After that, one afternoon, he concocted a peak-grade alchemy pill according to an ancient prescription. Just when he was about to look for his girlfriend to share his happiness, he saw her snuggling with a guy under a willow tree, whispering sweet nothings.
"I don't need my husband to become famous. I only want him to accompany me."
At the instant he heard this, Liu Fan felt very pained. He was pained by his girlfriend's departure and also pained by her lack of understanding toward him. After that, he worked even harder in his studies.
His girlfriend was gone. If he didn't even become the top student in the school, what meaning would there be in his life?
...
He entered the Skyraise Academy as he wished. However, because there were many geniuses in the same batch, he had worked hard for three years but was still unknown. After that, Liu Fan left.
He came to the Golden Sakura Academy that had poached him with a large sum of money.
Here, the pressure of competition was very low. As long as he worked a little harder, he would be able to become an important character in the school. Even the headmaster would have a friendly attitude when talking to him.
Wine, beauties, and a comfortable life...
It could be said that this was the dream of many men. Liu Fan was naturally used to it. But why does my heart feel so painful?
(Eh?
Someone seems to be crying?
Ah!
So it's the time when I was young.)
(I didn't enjoy them but did my best to study. Isn't it all for the sake of becoming a saint?)
(But what am I doing now?)
(Eh?)
There seems to be someone crying?
This voice...
It's my girlfriend!
"Didn't you give up on me because you wanted to become the best version of yourself? But what are you doing now? Trash like you, my choice to leave you was the correct one! "
...
"I didn't want to do it either! But I really can't do it! You haven't seen it before. Those geniuses really don't give us mortals a way out.
"I thought I was very outstanding, but in front of them, I couldn't catch up even if I tried my best!
"This is a competition that I'm destined to lose. Why do I have to work so hard?"
Liu Fan roared.
The three years he spent as an intern in the Skyraise Academy were the most painful memories in Liu Fan's life. He wanted to forget them even in his dreams.
But why was it still fresh in his memory?
"Because you can't accept this!"
The Liu Fan of his youth was roaring. The Liu Fan of his youth was roaring. The Liu Fan of his internship was also roaring.
"Everything you're doing now is denying us!
"You're a deserter who doesn't dare to face us!
"Who was the one who said that if you don't become a saint, you'd rather die?
"Has your oath been eaten by a dog?
"No, I didn't!"
Liu Fan roared and punched out. "All of you scram. I'm just resting for a while. Right, resting for a while. Tomorrow, no, right now, I'm going to continue my journey."
(That's right.
I still want to fight!
Otherwise, what's the difference between me giving up now and dying?)
At the thought of this, Liu Fan's thoughts cleared up. (No wonder I've been so happy all these years, but I'm not happy. So it's because of this!)
(My heart isn't dead yet!)
Boom!
When Liu Fan realized this, his consciousness recovered. After that, he saw the surrounding spirit qi surging over frantically, gathering toward him.
(What's going on?)
Liu Fan was stunned. After that, he understood that he was advancing.
He raised his head and saw a huge spirit qi tornado that was injecting a huge amount of spirit qi into his body.
This was an examination. By right, he shouldn't be advancing, but Liu Fan couldn't forcefully suppress it. Otherwise, putting aside the damage to his body, he didn't know when his next advancement would come.
After Liu Fan thought this through, he cast a deep glance at Li Ziqi. Then, he immediately staked everything on one throw and began to break through.
The other four examiners didn't react at all because they were also trapped in a Pipe Dream. Their expressions alternated between sadness and joy, changing unpredictably.
Zhou Wen Bin, who was waiting at the door, had his mouth wide open. He was completely stunned.
This... this is a Pipe Dream, right?
But how old is this girl? Why does she have such a rare great teacher halo?
Emotionally, he didn't want to believe it because it meant that this girl's talent was more outstanding than his. But rationally, he couldn't lie.
Zhou Wen Bin's knowledge told him that it was definitely a pipe dream, it was all for naught!
The kind that even his father wouldn't know!
