69: Guo Feng ranks first in the city, and Zhang Xi ranks last!

“These students are quite capable. Both in victory and defeat, they’ve shown resilience. Not a single one gave up!”

“A thousand people losing to four people is embarrassing, but among them, many performed exceptionally!”

“Yes, there were those who endured beatings just to hug Guo Feng! There were also those who shielded their companions from attacks!”

“There were also those who stubbornly took hits, were knocked unconscious, or had their bones broken, all to create offensive opportunities for their companions!”

“They’re all excellent!”

The principals on the wall were all very pleased.

Initially, the more than one thousand students were in chaos.

But after slowly adapting, they displayed their power.

It was just that Guo Feng was too strong, and his teleportation was extraordinary, which ultimately led to their defeat.

“Guo Feng and his crew are also amazing. They were beaten so badly, look at that girl, her face is so swollen, yet she still didn’t give up!”

“Exactly, it’s all about will and passion!”

“The future is promising, the future is promising!”

“When the youth are strong, the nation is strong!”

Principal Zhang and the others did not stint on praising Guo Feng and his crew; some even had tears in their eyes!

“Hmm, indeed, it’s not bad!”

Luo Hong nodded, then picked up the loudspeaker, “I announce that Guo Feng’s team wins! Their rewards are doubled!”

“The rest of the examinees, your rewards are halved!”

“However—”

“Given everyone’s excellent performance, each person will receive an additional spiritual energy primordial stone!”

He said, waving his hand, “Alright, return to Qingcheng Spirit Realm Town for recuperation first. Examinees who fainted will be brought back by the proctors!”

“The first Rong City High School Spirit Realm assessment has successfully concluded!”

“Thank you for all your efforts, examinees!”

“Everyone, keep up the good work!”

After he finished speaking, everyone applauded vigorously.

This included the proctors and instructors from the Lingneng Army, all of whom gave generous applause.

“Whew—”

Guo Feng exhaled heavily, “We finally won. Once we hand in the beast orbs, we can claim our rewards. This time, we’ve hit the jackpot!”

“We finally have enough spiritual energy primordial stones this time!”

“Let’s go, let’s get some rest. My goodness, it’s a good thing we had Old Guo’s immortal beans, otherwise, it would have been us who fainted!”

“Guo Feng is awesome!”

The three of them were also overjoyed.

Subsequently, everyone, dragging their tired bodies, slowly passed through Qingcheng with the main group.

They passed through the Spirit Gate.

Soon, they returned to Qingcheng Spirit Realm Town!

It felt like an eternity had passed!

Everyone returned to the guesthouse they had previously stayed in.

They took a hot shower.

They slept on the bed until the afternoon.

After eating, they sat at a tea shop, ordered drinks, and sat together.

“We’re finally back. Even with Old Guo’s spatial ability, the Spirit Realm isn’t as good as our Earth!”

Liu Qiang said with emotion.

Guo Feng looked at the people coming and going outside and sighed, “Even if more and more cities are built in the Spirit Realm, and the equipment is as advanced as outside, the human touch, peace, and tranquility outside are irreplaceable!”

“That’s right!”

Luo Juan held her milk tea, “Before, I hadn’t fought, but after fighting for this period, I understand that tranquility and peace are the greatest happiness!”

She paused, then suddenly said with emotion, “I miss home a little!”

“Hmm…”

Guo Feng nodded, but felt a bit bitter.

His parents passed away eight years ago.

Home?

A place with family is home!

Now his only bond was his younger sister, Guo Xiaoqing.

No—

He took a deep breath and looked at Luo Juan, thinking that if he got married and had a child.

That would also be home!

“Ah?!”

Just as Luo Juan said she missed home, she turned around and met Guo Feng’s eyes, instantly blushing.

She lowered her head.

Guo Feng almost said, ‘Let’s get married!’

But he certainly wouldn’t say it.

He knew that he only wanted a home right now, and he hadn’t truly recognized Luo Juan as the one.

“Alright, it’s about time. We should head back. The rewards should be arriving soon.”

Guo Feng waved his hand and stood up with a smile.

When they returned earlier, they had handed in the beast orbs in the square.

According to their contribution, Guo Feng received the most, equivalent to about one thousand points.

Luo Juan was second with seven hundred twenty points.

Liu Qiang was third with seven hundred ten points.

Qin Hao was fourth with seven hundred points.

After handing them in, Luo Hong told everyone to go back and wait for news; after the statistics were complete, the rewards would be distributed.

When he said this, everyone smiled, paid the bill, and returned to the guesthouse courtyard.

At this moment, Chen Lingfeng, Wu Zhen, and Principal Zhang were waiting for them in the courtyard.

There were originally thirty-one students in the class, but Zhao Liang had not appeared since the previous incident.

So, all thirty students were present.

“Alright, students, this time, our No. 1 High School’s results are excellent, very excellent!”

Principal Zhang’s face was practically splitting with a smile after Guo Feng and his crew fell into formation.

He then spoke some more pleasantries.

Finally, he waved his hand, “Instructor Chen, please announce the results.”

“Okay.”

Chen Lingfeng nodded, stepped forward, and said, “The results of this assessment are as follows.”

“Guo Feng, first place in the city!”

“Luo Juan, second place in the city!”

“Liu Qiang, third place in the city!”

“Qin Hao, fourth place in the city!”

“Wu Yue, one hundred second place in the city!”

“Zhang Wei, two hundred seventh place in the city!”

Guo Feng was also very happy to hear this. As expected, their four-person crew swept the top four!

The big prize was theirs!

As for the others, it was already good that Wu Yue could get close to the top hundred.

But Zhang Xi.

He hadn’t heard his ranking.

Could it be that…

“Zhang Xi, one thousand one hundred twentieth place in the city!”

“Lu Qiaoqiao, one thousand one hundred eightieth place in the city!”

“Xu Guang, one thousand two hundredth place in the “city!”

“Li Yang, one thousand two hundred fifty-first place in the city, third to last.”

“Alright, the announcement is over. The rewards will be distributed by Teacher Wu!”

Just as Guo Feng was thinking, Chen Lingfeng announced the ranking of Zhang Xi’s team.

Everyone was in an uproar!

How tragic!

Zhang Xi was a B-grade talent, a Level Six Bear Transformation user!

Being in the bottom hundred meant he was at the very bottom.

“Guo Feng!!”

Zhang Xi gritted his teeth, staring intently at Guo Feng.

Guo Feng took all the glory!

Zhang Xi took all the blame.

Because of Guo Feng’s one sentence, that his boss was Zhang Xi, everyone targeted them.

They snatched their spirit beasts!

They created trouble for them!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have fallen to this point!

“Pfft—”

Liu Qiang couldn’t help but laugh, then said, “Zhang Xi, your assessment this time wasn’t good, but don’t give up on yourself. Learn from your shame and then be brave. I have faith in you!”

Guo Feng also smiled and said, “Boss, keep it up!”

“Guo Feng, you’re going too far! Who’s your boss?! You’ve screwed me over so badly!!”

Zhang Xi’s emotions completely erupted!

He pointed at Guo Feng and shouted.

Guo Feng raised an eyebrow, “Are you out of your mind? Did you forget? After the talent results came out, in the hallway, you said you wanted to be our boss!”

He then looked at Lu Qiaoqiao, “Lu Qiaoqiao, you were also there, wasn’t that the case?”

“This…”

Lu Qiaoqiao looked troubled.

Zhang Xi’s eyes were red, as if he wanted to bite someone, “Guo Feng, I’ll fight you to the death!”

“Alright!”

Wu Zhen immediately stepped forward and waved his hand, “Don’t dwell on temporary gains and losses; arguing is useless.”

He pointed to the box beside his feet, “Rewards are being distributed. Even if you’re at the bottom, there are still rewards this time!”

“When I call your name, come up and claim it!”

“Guo Feng, 480 spiritual energy primordial stones!”

When he finished speaking, everyone exclaimed, taking a sharp breath.

If calculated at the official exchange rate of three hundred thousand per piece, this was equivalent to a reward of over one hundred million!

Everyone’s eyes turned green with envy.

“Haha, thank you, Teacher Wu!”

Guo Feng smiled, walked up, and put the large handful of spiritual energy primordial stones from Wu Zhen’s hand into his spatial storage.

Subsequently, Luo Juan received 320 pieces.

Liu Qiang received 200 pieces.

Qin Hao received 120 pieces.

Everyone watched, drooling. It really was true that following Guo Feng meant having meat to eat!

As for Zhang Xi, he ultimately received two pieces.

This was still the result of the higher-ups taking pity on those ranked after one thousand, not halving their rewards, and even giving an extra piece.

Everyone sighed with emotion.

After the rewards were distributed.

Wu Zhen looked at Guo Feng and said, “Guo Feng, Minister Luo has requested your presence. Come with me!”

Principal Zhang’s eyes lit up.

Could it be the Genius Class Program?

He quickly said, “Guo Feng, hurry and go with Teacher Wu!”
