62: Four top players come together

Dongling No. 1 High School.

The spacious conference room was packed, with Principal Li and all the teachers of Dongling No. 1 High School present, standing respectfully to the side.

Opposite them were four powerful individuals, two men and two women, each radiating an aura far stronger than that of Situ Haonan, the Guardian of Dongling.

These four were the admissions teachers from the four top universities of Dragon Country.

From left to right, they were from Huaqing University, Blazing Dragon University, Yanhua University, and Southern Saint University, respectively.

Behind these four, stood eight young men and women, all outstanding students from the four top universities, each with an aura around Rank 3.

Thump!

"Where is Wang Chen right now?"

The admissions teacher from Huaqing University was a burly middle-aged man. He tapped on the table and looked at Principal Li with an unreadable expression.

Under that calm gaze, Principal Li felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, and sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

He had never expected that as soon as the college entrance examination rankings were released today, admissions teachers from the four top universities would arrive one after another, leaving him completely unprepared.

"Please calm down, sir. Very soon, very soon, I am already contacting him."

Wiping away the cold sweat without a trace, Principal Li said cautiously.

As he spoke, he frantically winked at Li Xia, the head teacher of Class 7, urging her to contact Wang Chen quickly.

Noticing the principal's gaze, Li Xia's expression became somewhat stiff.

She wanted to contact him now, but she couldn't get through!

That brat Wang Chen, for some unknown reason today, had his phone turned off, and when she called his home, his parents also didn't know where he had gone.

Smiling bitterly in her heart, Li Xia secretly glanced across the room. As soon as the college entrance examination rankings were released, the admissions teachers from the four top universities came to snatch him up.

Wang Chen's treatment was unique among the top scorers in the college entrance examination across all provinces in Dragon Country!

After making another call that didn't go through, a helpless Li Xia gave Principal Li a look that said, "I've done my best!"

Principal Li's mouth felt a bit bitter upon seeing this.

The four admissions teachers opposite them were not to be trifled with. If they were dissatisfied today, a single complaint would probably lead to his 'voluntary' resignation as principal.

"Principal Li, the teachers have been waiting for almost twenty minutes!"

"As a principal, you can't even get in touch with your own student, can you?"

Just then, a young man standing behind the Huaqing University admissions teacher frowned and spoke with some displeasure.

"No, no, please wait a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Principal Li shook his head repeatedly, his head almost bobbing like a rattle-drum.

He couldn't afford to offend the admissions teachers from the four universities, and he also couldn't afford to offend the students who came with them.

For example, the young man speaking at this moment was Zhou Zibo, a student from Yuanjiang Province who had been admitted to Huaqing University last year.

His profession was the special profession, Thorn Knight. In just one year after entering Huaqing University, his strength had already increased to Rank 3, Level 75, making him a top student even among the sophomores at Huaqing University.

"Heh heh!"

"Principal Li, there's no need for excuses. What exactly is Wang Chen thinking? The teachers have personally come here, which has given him immense Face. How dare he be late at a time like this? Does he not have us in his eyes?"

Zhou Zibo scoffed dismissively upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

He followed the admissions teachers to Dongling City this time, partly to earn academic credits, and partly to see what kind of person this year's Yuanjiang Province top scorer was, to warrant personal recruitment by the admissions teachers of the four top universities.

But the result...

As soon as he arrived, he was stood up.

Usually arrogant, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Noticing Zhou Zibo's displeasure, Principal Li gave a bitter smile and was about to speak to appease him.

However, just then...

"Hmph, who knew you guys would suddenly show up today?"

In the conference room, a cold murmur suddenly sounded.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's gaze instantly turned to a beautiful figure standing behind Principal Li.

This was an extremely beautiful young woman, with exquisite features that seemed naturally formed, paired with a slightly heroic single ponytail, giving her a vibrant and youthful feeling.

It was Situ Yu.

She ranked ninth in this year's Yuanjiang Province college entrance examination and, like Wang Chen, obtained the qualification to enter a top university.

"My dear Young Miss, can you please calm down?"

Principal Li looked at Situ Yu helplessly, feeling incredibly exhausted.

She was throwing a Young Miss tantrum without even looking at the occasion. Opposite them were the admissions teachers from the four top universities, any one of whom was someone he, and even the Situ Family, could not afford to offend.

Under everyone's gaze, Situ Yu stuck out her tongue and quietly hid behind her class teacher.

These guys' gazes are so scary!

"Heh!"

"I wondered who it was, turns out it's this year's ninth-ranked in Yuanjiang Province."

Opposite, Zhou Zibo's eyes flashed with admiration when he saw Situ Yu, but then he said disdainfully:

"If it weren't for the school expanding enrollment this year, with your grades, you wouldn't even have the right to stand here. How dare you speak so presumptuously?"

"You're just like that Wang Chen, you both don't know what it means to know your place!"

Situ Yu's Face instantly filled with anger upon hearing this, and she angrily stepped out from behind her class teacher.

"What do you know about knowing your place? After studying in a top university for a year, your strength has only just reached Rank 3. What's there to be proud of?"

"A waste of resources!"

She glared at Zhou Zibo, her tone utterly impolite.

You can talk about me, but how dare you talk about Wang Chen?

Pretty boy, this Young Miss has remembered you!

"You!" As her words fell, Zhou Zibo's Face showed anger, and not only him, but the expressions of the other seven standing beside him also turned somewhat ugly.

Situ Yu's words were too broad in their attack, encompassing even them.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat stagnant, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Nonsense!"

Principal Li's Face changed drastically at this moment, and he turned to glare at Situ Yu.

"These are your future seniors, Situ Yu, how can you be so impolite?"

"Apologize to them quickly."

As he spoke, Principal Li kept winking, hoping this little Young Miss would calm down.

However.

"I didn't say anything wrong."

Situ Yu pouted unconvincingly, looking down at the ground, completely unmoved.

"You..."

Seeing this, Principal Li was completely numb. With a fierce resolve, he intended to forcefully pull Situ Yu to apologize.

But just then...

"A waste of resources?"

"The little girl is quite sharp-tongued. Since you look down on them, why don't you all have a competition?"

"Let's see who the real waste is."

The admissions teacher from Huaqing University tapped on the table and said with a hint of mockery.
