"Wow!"
The crowd was silent for half a second before suddenly bursting into a tsunami of exclamations.
"Helian Lie is this year's Floating Spear City's College Entrance Examination Champion! His Actualization Quotient is 88%, and his total score is 629.2! This is a rare good result in recent years! "
"After so many years, our Chixiao No. 2 High School has finally regained the title of 'Floating Spear City's College Entrance Examination Champion'!"
"Wow, look, the second place is Phoenix Ridge Second's Zheng Dongming. His Actualization Quotient is higher than Helian Lie's by two percentage points, but his score is too low. His final score is only half a point lower than Helian Lie's. This is too thrilling!"
"The third place, Si Jiaxue, is also from Chixiao No. 2 High School. Her total score is only half a point lower than Zheng Dongming's!"
"Two of the top three are Chixiao No. 2 High School's students. This time, Chixiao No. 2 High School is fully deserving of the title of Floating Spear City's number one high school!"
"I did it!"
Helian Lie roared in excitement. His silver fist ferociously smashed into the empty air. Unexpectedly, it also smashed out a ripple in the air.
Not far away, Principal Zhao Shude, Teaching Director Hei Mianshen, and the school's board of directors breathed a sigh of relief. Their faces revealed ecstatic expressions.
Helian Ba was even more proud of himself. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"Old Zhao, this year, our Chixiao No. 2 High School has a bumper harvest. We have completely suppressed Phoenix Ridge Second's limelight!"
"That's right. This year's test was so outstanding. Next year, there will certainly be many good seedlings who will choose Chixiao No. 2 High School. With a good source of students, our future results will only get better and better. We will break away from the predicament of the past few years and embark on a virtuous cycle that will only get stronger and stronger!"
"Old Zhao, this is all thanks to you. Wait until the news reaches the Crimson Nimbus Sect. Presumably, even the Sect Master will be very happy!"
"You flatter me. This year, we were able to obtain such good results. First, we had the support of the board of directors. Second, we relied on the efforts of the teachers. Third, we relied on these children's hard work. What does it have to do with this Zhao? Hahahaha!"
Zhao Shude smiled very brightly. For more than a month, he had been brooding over the matter of Li Yao. He always felt like there was a thorn in his heart, and he was very unhappy.
Up until this moment, all his worries had vanished like smoke and clouds, and he felt extremely comfortable. He simply wouldn't exchange it for the title of Golden Immortal!
"Beep beep beep!"
Someone sent a spiritual crane message. It was Elder Zhou Yin, who was in charge of education in the Crimson Nimbus Sect.
On the screen, Zhou Yin was also smiling brightly, as if a hundred flowers were blooming.
"Principal Zhao, this time, our Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School's performance was very good. Unexpectedly, there are two Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School students in the top three. Even the Sect Master came to ask me for advice. Hahahaha, I told the Sect Master that it was all thanks to you. When the time comes, it would be better to let you, Principal Zhao, personally speak at the Sect Assembly.
Zhao Shude was so excited that he was about to have a heart attack. He blushed and said, "It's all thanks to Elder Zhou's nurturing, all thanks to Elder Zhou's nurturing!"
Zhou Yin waved his hand.
"Nurturing is nurturing. Hard work is hard work. In short, we have won a great victory this time. Those who have rendered meritorious service must be commended! Ha, look, even the Crimson Nimbus Sect's stock price has begun to fluctuate. It seems that the news has already spread, and the stock price has soared! I won't talk to you for now. I still have to discuss the follow-up publicity plan with the Sect Leader. We need to thoroughly explode this good news! You also need to prepare a few press statements. In a moment, there will definitely be a press conference and a few days of celebration banquet. You and Helian Lie are both the main characters. You can't be careless! "
"Yes! Rest assured, Elder Zhou. I will definitely make Chixiao No. 2 High School's brand thoroughly known! "Zhao Shude's face was glowing. His entire face was flushed red, like a big ripe persimmon.
Not long after, ear-piercing whistling sounds came from the sky. A dozen or so flying shuttles were rapidly approaching.
"It's reporters! It's the reporters from the major news media!" A few sharp-eyed parents recognized them.
Sure enough, before the flying shuttles had even landed, a few impatient reporters leapt out. Their murderous auras surged as they squeezed into the crowd. They shouted themselves hoarse:
"Student Helian Lie? Which one of you is Student Helian Lie? "
"Student Helian Lie, you are this year's Floating Spear City's College Entrance Examination Champion. Can you please tell us how you feel right now?"
"Student Helian Lie, may I ask how you usually arrange your cultivation plan? Do you have any cultivation experience that you can share with the students?"
"Principal Zhao, Principal Zhao Shude! Since the emergence of a genius like 'Fiend Blade Peng Hai' more than ten years ago, your Chixiao No. 2 High School has always been very quiet. In Floating Spear City, an important cultivation town of the Federation, you have always been suppressed by Phoenix Ridge Second High School. How did you suddenly erupt this year and suddenly produce two geniuses? Please tell us about your experience, Principal Zhao! "
"Don't worry, don't worry. Friends of the press, we will answer your questions one by one. Please be patient. In a moment, we will hold a press conference. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the conference. I promise to tell you everything I know!"
Zhao Shude's face was beaming with happiness. He was grinning from ear to ear.
Helian Ba also squeezed to his son's side and patted Helian Lie's shoulder. He could not hide his joy: "Good boy, you didn't lose face for your old man. You did well in the exam!"
"You are Helian Lie? We are reporters from Floating Spear Morning Post. Tell us a little about your experience in private! "
Several reporters recognized Helian Lie's identity and desperately squeezed over.
After Helian Lie's initial excitement, he became very calm. He glanced at the hologram, shook his head and said:
"Wait a minute. Currently, only 80% of the examinees in Floating Spear City are being calculated. There is still a portion of the examinees' results that have not been calculated. This is still not the final ranking."
Because there were too many examinees, the amount of data was too large. All the results were rolled into the database in batches.
Up until now, there were still examinees from several slums whose results had not been included in the calculation.
However, according to past experience, these examinees from the slums would not be able to raise any waves. After all, they did not even have enough food to eat. How could they have the strength to cultivate? How could they possibly rush into the "Top 1000 of Floating Spear City's college entrance exam"?
Even if they rushed into the top 1000, it would be impossible for them to have any impact on the top 100. At the very least, in the past few decades, there had never been an examinee from a high school in the slums who could kill their way into the top 100 of the entire city.
Therefore, once the top 100 was determined, it was 100% certain that it would not change!
Soon, the progress chart at the bottom of the hologram jumped to "90%". The results of 90% of the examinees in the city had been rolled into the database for summary calculation.
"The results of examinees from three districts have been added. The top 1000 rankings have not changed. The first place is still Helian Lie — — can you accept the interview now?"
"Wait a minute!" Helian Lie stared at the hologram. The veins on the back of his hand were visible.
"93%! This time, even the examinees who participated in the college entrance exam under their own name have been included in the calculation. Helian Lie is still first. Quickly tell us about your experience. Student Helian Lie, by all means, do not hide anything. The majority of the audience is looking forward to seeing you! "
"Wait a minute!"
"97%! In the entire Floating Spear City, only the examinees from the Limestone District have not been included in the calculation. The Limestone District is a well-known slum district. Several of the high schools there are extremely bad. Last year, there was not even a single examinee who entered the top 10,000 of the entire city! Student Helian Lie, can you accept the interview now? "
Several reporters shouted themselves hoarse. They were practically stuffing the crystal microphone into Helian Lie's mouth.
"Only the Limestone District is left?"
Helian Lie let out a long sigh of relief. His entire person seemed to be in high spirits. His face was glowing.
He nodded to several reporters, took a crystal microphone, and spoke with fervor and assurance:
"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone. I am Floating Spear City's top scorer in the college entrance exam, Helian Lie. Just now, this reporter friend asked me if I had any secrets for cultivation — — of course I have! I have three secrets. The first is hard work, the second is hard work, and the third is incomparably crazy hard work! I believe that as long as you work hard enough, all miracles are possible... "
He was just about to continue speaking when he saw that all the reporters, parents, and students were dumbfounded. It was as if they had seen a ghost as they stared at the huge hologram behind him.
Helian Lie felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly pinched by an invisible hand. He suddenly turned his head to look, only to see that the hologram, which had been motionless all this time, had begun to flicker again. There was a small change in the rankings at the bottom.
"Wow! Big news! Explosive news!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"An examinee from the Limestone District has actually killed his way into the top 1000 of Floating Spear City! He is ranked 998!"
"Too awesome! This examinee from Limestone Middle School, Ge Qiang, is really too awesome. He was actually able to defeat so many high school competitors and kill his way into the top 1000. Amazing! Truly amazing!"
Several reporters were discussing spiritedly. They all said that after interviewing the top scorer of the college entrance exam, Helian Lie, they must go to Limestone Middle School to interview student Ge Qiang.
Helian Lie once again breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at the progress bar at the bottom of the hologram. He found that 99.9% of the examinees' scores had been counted.
Only the trash school from last year, "Floating Spear City's Mining Clan High School", had not been included.
Helian Lie composed himself and a smile reappeared on his face:
"Everyone has seen it. I just said that as long as you work hard enough, all miracles are possible! At this moment, behind me, an out-and-out miracle has occurred. An examinee from the Limestone District has actually broken into the top 1000 of Floating Spear City's college entrance exam rankings. This is not an easy matter! In fact, you shouldn't be interviewing me. You should be interviewing student Ge Qiang from Limestone Middle School. It is not surprising that I obtained the title of top scorer of the college entrance exam. Student Ge Qiang is the one who is truly worthy … "
Helian Lie's voice once again came to an abrupt halt.
He discovered that everyone in front of him, whether it was reporters, parents, students, the principal, the teaching director, the board of directors, including his own father, Helian Ba —
Everyone was dumbstruck. They were scared out of their wits and were horrified!
Their expressions were completely different from a moment ago.
Just a moment ago, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
At this moment, they looked as if they had turned into ghosts, wandering souls, zombies — they were zombies whose foreheads were plastered with talismans and were firmly suppressed!
The huge campus became absolutely silent in an instant, as if it was an abandoned cemetery.
Thousands of people stood upright, like thousands of tombstones overgrown with weeds!
Helian Lie's breathing was incomparably rapid. Every joint seemed to have rusted. Even turning his neck had become incomparably difficult.
"Look, you, you quickly look, quickly look …"
A reporter stammered. His gaze seemed to be firmly glued to something behind Helian Lie, unable to move.
Helian Lie's mind was blank. Using all the strength in his body, he turned his head inch by inch, forcing his gaze to fall on the hologram.
At the top of the hologram, a brand new name appeared above his name.
This name was like a ghost, silently scuttling up from the abyss of massive amounts of data. In an instant, it had climbed to the top of Helian Lie's head!
"Floating Spear City's Mining Junior High School student, Li Yao. College entrance exam total score: 781. Spiritual Root Development Quotient: 92%. Final score in the city!"
