"Impossible! If Zhou Wen can fish out a coin, how can I not? "Li Xuan's face was filled with disbelief.
However, the results for this segment were already gone. Li Xuan didn't even manage to take out a single coin. His score was zero. Even if he obtained full marks in the other three segments, it was impossible for him to squeeze into the top ten.
Li Xuan regretted it. If he hadn't been careless, he would have endured it and taken out the coin. After all, with the Immortal God of Combat Life Providence, his hand wouldn't be crippled.
A single mistake can lead to everlasting sorrow! Li Xuan felt like crying.
Zhou Wen smoothly passed the following segments. Apart from crossing the paper bridge, which he obtained nine points due to his slow speed, he passed the other three segments with full marks.
Instantly, there was a flurry of discussion in the school. Everyone was asking about Zhou Wen's name. A first-year at the Mortal stage had actually obtained three ten points and one nine points. It was basically certain that he could enter the top ten. This result was truly shocking.
Although Wang Lu, An Jing, and Feng Qiuyan were also first-year students, they had already advanced to the Legendary stage. It was understandable that they had such results, but for Zhou Wen to obtain such results at the Mortal stage was a little too terrifying.
Instantly, the name of a peerless genius Zhou Wen spread throughout the school, but there were also teachers who were suspicious.
They had seen many geniuses, but no one at the Mortal stage could obtain such results.
The person who was most suspicious was Wang Fei. She originally wanted to agitate Zhou Wen in the comprehensive test to see if he could pull himself together. To her surprise, Zhou Wen had actually entered the top ten and obtained the right to enter Providence Palace. This was something she couldn't accept.
However, all the segments were carried out in front of everyone. Zhou Wen wasn't the first or the last. There were people before and after him who used the same props. There was no evidence of cheating.
It doesn't make sense … This doesn't make sense … Why did I only get three nines … But you got three tens and one nine … Li Xuan couldn't accept such an outcome at all.
In fact, it wasn't only Li Xuan who couldn't accept it. Zhou Wen also knew that there was definitely a problem with his results. Take Strength as an example. Zhou Wen knew his strength very well. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to lift the tenth stone cauldron, but he did it in the end. Furthermore, he felt that the tenth stone cauldron wasn't heavier than the ninth. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.
Unbeknownst to Zhou Wen, the stone cauldrons and the platform below were equipped with electromagnetic devices. Zheng Tianlun could control the strength needed to lift the stone cauldrons to a certain extent.
The other projects were also tampered with, but it was done very secretly. Even the teachers didn't know that the venue had been tampered with during the construction.
After the comprehensive examination, the venue would be demolished, and it would be even more secretive.
All of this was originally prepared by Zheng Tianlun. He wanted to use these means to break into the top ten, but after being exposed by Wei Ge, he didn't dare tamper with his test. Instead, it benefited Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen had inexplicably obtained the reputation of being a genius. When Wei Ge specially came to congratulate him, he had even winked at him. This immediately confirmed Zhou Wen's suspicions of Wei Ge.
It was indeed Wei Ge who tampered with it, but why did he do that? Just to rope in a freshman like me to join the student council? Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.
Regardless, Zhou Wen was famous in Sunset College. Over the years since Sunset College was established, there had never been a student at the Mortal stage who had such results.
"As expected of Coach." Feng Qiuyan didn't doubt it at all. He believed that this was Zhou Wen's true strength, so he was even more determined to hire Zhou Wen as his personal coach.
Although some people had their suspicions, they couldn't find any evidence, so they could only remain silent.
Finally, the top ten spots were confirmed. As expected, Li Xuan failed, while Zhou Wen successfully entered the top ten and obtained the right to enter Providence Palace.
"Old Zhou, I really can't accept it. Ignoring everything else, your strength is definitely inferior to mine. It doesn't make sense that you can lift the tenth stone cauldron while I can't." Li Xuan had a look of resentment.
"This is fate." What else could Zhou Wen say?
Thankfully, Li Xuan didn't really care about the spot. All he did was grumble to Zhou Wen.
"It's not that I'm bragging, but Zhou Wen is really a genius among geniuses. Back when we were in Guide High School, everyone in our school knew that Zhou Wen was a genius. Do you know about Ascetic Meditation? That's so difficult to cultivate. Even if the typical person uses Primordial Energy Crystals to cultivate it, it would be difficult to gain basic mastery of Primordial Energy without three to five years. However, Zhou Wen didn't even use a single Primordial Energy Crystal. He forcefully tempered himself to master Ascetic Meditation … "Tian Xiangdong's saliva splattered as he recounted Zhou Wen's high school days to his classmates.
Unbeknownst to Zhou Wen, he had already become a representative figure of Sunset College's freshmen. He was considered the most promising freshman in Sunset College this year.
Although this wasn't the outcome Zhou Wen wished to see, obtaining the right to enter Providence Palace was a pleasant surprise for him.
The day after the comprehensive exam ended was the day to enter the School of the Emperor Star. Zhou Wen and the other nine students all received tokens from the school. Under the guidance of a tutor, they arrived at the legendary School of the Emperor Star.
Providence Palace was more gorgeous and majestic than the Forbidden Palace. After becoming a dimensional zone, it made people feel even more majestic. Although they were underground, it didn't stop Zhou Wen and the other students from marveling at the greatness of the ancients.
Outside the Yintian Gate, Zhou Wen and company were waiting for the moment the Yintian Gate opened. Wang Lu looked around curiously. "This place is nearly a thousand meters underground. There are rocks everywhere. Where did those legendary treasures come from?"
"Of course they came from an alternate dimension. Could it be that there are really ghosts?" Hui Haifeng said with a smile.
It wasn't Wei Ge's first time here, so he explained, "Those treasures floated out of dimensional rifts and flew into Providence Palace one after another. There's no lack of rare treasures, but the typical treasures are at most collectibles that can be exchanged for some money. The truly precious ones are Companion Eggs and dimensional crystals. Many of them aren't available in the East District. If you're lucky, you might be able to obtain a Companion Egg like an elf or an angel. That's not a bad choice."
"How do we know what type those Companion Eggs are?" Wang Lu asked curiously.
"I really don't know. Ignoring distinguishing the type of Companion Egg, it's hard to say if we can even choose a Companion Egg," Wei Ge said.
"Why?" Wang Lu was somewhat puzzled.
"That's because all the treasures are stored in boxes. We can only see those boxes, but we don't know what's inside. Once we choose a box, there's no way to change it. So, what we choose can only depend on luck," Hui Haifeng explained.
