125: End the exam early

He was merely the Zhuangyuan of Luofeng City.

But there are Zhuangyuan in Luofeng City every year, and they usually come from the First Academy.

Apart from a few people who were happy because Luofeng City had gained another Genius, others, such as those from the Ninth Academy, felt some resentment.

If it was not their Genius, why should they be happy?

But from this moment on, everything changed!

When Li Canglan was destined to become the Zhuangyuan of the entire Base City, this no longer represented his personal honor.

It was no longer just the honor of the First Academy.

It was the honor of the entire Luofeng City!

Whether in the livestream chat or young people watching the livestream on the playgrounds of various academies, everyone regarded Li Canglan as an idol.

A goal to strive for!

Becoming someone like Li Canglan was their lifelong pursuit!

Amidst the revelry, many did not notice that Li Canglan was rushing towards the perimeter.

Li Canglan first sent a message to Bian Haifeng.

Furthermore, he helped Bian Haifeng obtain enough points to get into a higher martial arts academy.

Everyone who had helped him received help from Li Canglan.

Not a single person was an exception.

That afternoon, amidst the crowd's celebration, Li Canglan was the first to walk out of the exam venue.

When the Patrol Guard guarding the perimeter of the Great Exam Plains saw Li Canglan rushing over like a residual image, everyone was stunned.

"Student Li, what are you doing?" a staff member asked, looking bewildered.

Li Canglan shrugged and asked in confusion, "Ending the exam early... oh wait, I mean, ending the Great Exam early. What, is there a problem?"

The staff member shook his head quickly, "There is no problem, but..."

The score of the Great Exam is judged based on the number of Demonic Beasts killed.

Even in the hundred-plus years since the High Martial Era began, no one had ever heard of anyone giving up the rest of the Great Exam time to choose to leave the venue early.

However, thinking of Li Canglan's score of fifty thousand, the staff member understood.

It was impossible for anyone to exceed Li Canglan's score.

This score, even in the entire Shenxia Country, was already second to none.

Out of official duty, the staff member still asked, "After leaving the exam venue, you will not be able to re-enter."

"Student Li, are you sure you want to end the Great Exam?"

Li Canglan nodded, "I am sure."

The staff member said nothing more and took the tactical watch from Li Canglan's hand.

The next moment, countless reporters surged towards Li Canglan like a tidal wave.

Major media outlets had unquestionable sensitivity to news.

As soon as they got the news, these media outlets sent their capable personnel over.

To seize the first-hand information, they had even been guarding here before the Great Exam ended!

They wanted to facilitate the first interview when Li Canglan came out.

"Hello Student Li, may I ask how you evaluate the difficulty of this Great Exam?"

"Hello Student Li, I heard that you are very likely to become the Zhuangyuan of the Hanghai Base City. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Hello Student Li, for students, is there any experience you would like to share with everyone?"

"Hello..."

More than a dozen cameras and microphones were poked in front of Li Canglan, making his scalp tingle.

After Li Canglan encouraged other candidates and future juniors for a while, he was still being surrounded and blocked.

Annoyed, Li Canglan could only use the Meteor Cloud Steps, flickering like a phantom, and quickly withdrew from the "battlefield".

Most of these reporters were ordinary people.

They only felt a blur before their eyes, and Li Canglan had lost his trace.

Only the reporters at the very front were overjoyed.

Although Li Canglan's answers were off-topic, they were at least one of the few media outlets that got an interview!

The reporters behind could only sigh with regret.

If they had known, they would have squeezed to the front even if it cost them their last ounce of strength!

On the other side, Director Zhou Bohao, who received the news, immediately flew over.

Regarding this candidate who chose to end the Great Exam early, Director Zhou Bohao had nothing to criticize.

This was Li Canglan's right.

Then, he saw Li Canglan rushing out from the crowd of reporters.

"Student Li, do you have any intention to enter our Hanghai Martial Arts Academy for further studies?"

Director Zhou Bohao smiled slightly, without any arrogance of a superior.

Li Canglan's points were enough for him to get into any higher martial arts academy in the country.

Although his strength was far beyond Li Canglan's, as long as his attitude made Li Canglan dissatisfied, the other party could completely choose other martial arts academies.

Hearing Hanghai Martial Arts Academy, Li Canglan instinctively frowned.

He had not forgotten his grievances with Zhu Yufang and others.

Although those people had long since become dead, their teachers, classmates, and family members were still alive.

Even though Li Canglan believed he had left no clues, for safety's sake, he was instinctively resistant to the Hanghai Martial Arts Academy.

And this, in the eyes of Director Zhou Bohao, did not make him think too much.

He only thought that Li Canglan felt he was too presumptuous.

"Student Li, don't worry, the resources and rewards that should be given to you will not be less..."

While Director Zhou Bohao was still talking, Li Canglan waved to the distance.

Immediately after, Li Canglan apologetically said to Director Zhou Bohao, "I will seriously consider the Director's suggestion."

Feeling two powerful auras similar to his own coming from behind, Director Zhou Bohao turned around and saw that it was He Qianxun and Guan Zhenyue.

He knew that he could not keep Li Canglan for long, so he could only exchange pleasantries with the two and leave directly.

Before leaving, he did not forget to let the two persuade Li Canglan to consider the Hanghai Martial Arts Academy.

After Director Zhou Bohao left, Guan Zhenyue said with a smile, "Unexpectedly, you kid could actually get the Base City Zhuangyuan."

"Even, you could break the points record of the national martial arts Great Exam."

Li Canglan shrugged, "It's really just that these Demonic Beasts are too weak."

This was not Li Canglan being humble, but a real experience.

Although the Demonic Beasts on the Great Exam Plains were not locked in cages, they were considered long-term domesticated.

Compared with those in the wild that must obtain food and grow up in life-and-death struggles, they were completely incomparable.

To put it bluntly, for Demonic Beasts of the same level, he guessed the Sabertooth Boar he had met in the wild could at least fight two of these!

Although this was the case, it fell into the ears of the people around, but it was a proper humblebrag.

It made people itch with hatred, but they could only envy.

"Let's go, Old He promised to invite us to a big meal," Guan Zhenyue said happily.

He Qianxun had black lines on his face, "When did I say that?"
