60: Commoner champion, about to transfer to the second position

Not long after Wang Chen left, spatial distortions continuously flickered on the Dongling No. 1 High School playground, with one disheveled figure after another appearing.

These were all the students who had been teleported out of the Secret Realm Dungeon after taking the exam.

At this time, among these people, some were excitedly shouting loudly, sharing their joy with those around them, while others walked out of the playground dejectedly, their eyes vacant.

Those who successfully cleared it and those who failed formed a stark contrast.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just then, spatial fluctuations appeared again, and the next second, a beautiful figure stood on the playground.

"That scoundrel Wang Chen, how dare he run off without waiting for me?"

After the dizziness of teleportation subsided, Situ Yu scanned her surroundings, didn't find that annoying figure, and stomped her foot in a huff.

Then, she pulled out her phone, ready to confront that hateful guy.

However, before she could act, a group of people from the viewing platform surrounded her.

"Xiao Yu, how were your results?"

Situ Haonan, as Situ Yu's paternal uncle, walked straight up and asked.

"Not bad, an SSS rating, and a clear time of twelve minutes."

Seeing her uncle, Situ Yu held her neck high and said with feigned reserve.

"Not bad, not bad. Your score last year would have placed you in the top ten provincially, and this year it should be about the same."

Looking at the pride in his niece's eyes, Situ Haonan patted her shoulder and said sincerely.

"Hahaha, this is truly a double blessing! It seems our Dongling City will have two provincial top ten Prodigies this time."

The Dongling City Mayor and Principal Li, who were standing by, both showed relieved smiles.

Provincial top ten, that was something they wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

If it weren't for Wang Chen's outstanding achievement beforehand, they would probably be eager to treat Situ Yu like an ancestor right now.

"Two?"

Hearing this, Situ Yu's expression changed, and she looked at her uncle: "Uncle, Wang Chen, that scoun... guy, how were his results?"

"He cleared it in one minute! That kid is definitely set to be the provincial top scholar!"

As Situ Haonan spoke, he looked at his niece suspiciously.

Xiao Yu seemed very familiar with this Wang Chen; no one told her, yet she even guessed that the other person was Wang Chen.

For a moment, recalling his previous conversation with Wang Chen, Situ Haonan became wary.

However, Situ Yu didn't notice her uncle's strangeness at all, completely immersed in her own world at this moment.

"Provincial top scholar, huh?"

Although she had long known that Wang Chen's results would be better than hers, hearing the news still left Situ Yu feeling a bit lost.

The provincial top scholar would definitely be able to enter a top-tier university, while being in the provincial top ten was full of uncertainty.

"If this girl ranks low in the top ten, won't I have to attend a different university than that scoundrel!"

Situ Yu stomped her foot, feeling a bit depressed.

"What's wrong?"

"Worried about school selection this year?"

Seeing his niece look unhappy, Situ Haonan thought she was discouraged and began to console her:

"Don't worry, due to certain reasons, the four top-tier universities have decided to expand enrollment, and the top fifteen in each province can enroll."

"Really?"

Situ Yu looked up in surprise, and after seeing her uncle nod, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

What good news!

When the results are officially announced tomorrow, she'll go show off to that arrogant guy, Wang Chen.

"Uncle, I have something else to do, I'm leaving!"

Situ Yu waved her hand and bounced out of the school.

Behind her, Situ Haonan had intended to ask his niece about Wang Chen, but seeing this, he had to give up.

...

...

The next day, results day.

As the ranking of college entrance examination candidates in each province was posted on the official website of Dragon Country Education.

Wang Chen.

This ordinary name was like a bombshell, directly causing the entire Dongling City, and even the entire Yuanjiang Province, to boil over.

Provincial top scholar!

Commoner Prodigy!

Numerous halos instantly stacked onto Wang Chen, making countless people notice him.

Giant-Beast Master!

He contracted a powerful ice-attribute Dragon!

One by one, pieces of information about him spread online, causing countless tremors.

Many media websites reporting on Wang Chen's information even crashed due to the excessive influx of traffic.

This day.

The entire Dongling City was decorated with lanterns and streamers because of him, and many people spontaneously lit fireworks, celebrating the emergence of a provincial top scholar from Dongling City as if it were New Year's.

Many local reporters and guild magnates also moved at the news, wanting to get first-hand information or recruit Wang Chen into their ranks.

In a short period, who knows how many phones were rung off the hook, and how many people smacked their thighs until they were bruised.

Especially those guild magnates who had once attended the Transfer ceremony and treated Wang Chen as if he were worthless, they now blocked the entrance to Wang Chen's residential community with large sums of gold coins and resources.

At this moment, they were so regretful their guts turned green, only regretting their blindness, wondering how they hadn't discovered such a Prodigy at the time.

Now, they had no intention of recruiting him; they only hoped that what they offered could slightly improve their impression in Wang Chen's mind.

And besides the shock in Dongling City and Yuanjiang Province, the four top-tier universities at the pinnacle of Dragon Country also dispatched personnel to Dongling City due to Wang Chen's results, hoping to recruit Wang Chen into their schools before others.

However, while the outside world was exceptionally noisy, Wang Chen's mood was unusually calm, completely unaffected by these things.

After the results were announced, he shared his scores with his parents, then disguised himself and came to a magnificent building in Dongling City.

This building was extremely opulent, and the four large characters "Transfer God Temple" at the entrance exuded a sacred Qi.

"Phew!"

"I hope the Transfer quest I receive is a simple one, so I can get my second Beast Pet quickly."

Wang Chen looked left and right, found that no one around was paying attention to him, and stepped into the Transfer God Temple.

Since the will of the heavens revived, Awakeners who want to continuously improve their strength need to constantly Transfer and expand their limits.

Transfer quests are randomly issued through the Divine Stone enshrined in the temple.

The difficulty depends entirely on the Awakener's luck.

Generally speaking, the difficulty of Transfer quests fluctuates within a certain range.

But the world is vast and full of wonders, and there are always some exceptionally unlucky guys.

Some people might only need to kill a Goblin to successfully complete their second Transfer, while others might need to personally kill a level 100 monster to complete their second Transfer.

Walking into the Transfer God Temple, Wang Chen found it a bit deserted; besides the Divine Stone enshrined in the center, there were only a few staff members dozing behind desks.

However, seeing this, Wang Chen's face showed no surprise.

Today was results day, and the people of Dongling City were immersed in celebration, so it was normal for the Transfer God Temple to be quiet.

Moreover, this was exactly to his liking; if he hadn't found staying at home too troublesome, he wouldn't have secretly come here.

Scanning his surroundings, Wang Chen walked directly to the front desk.

"Hello, I'm here to accept my second Transfer quest!"
