19: The moon is the center of attention

“Dear candidates, thank you for your hard work. The Trial Class 001 College Entrance Examination has officially concluded. Please exit in an orderly manner and avoid crowding.”

As the electronic voice sounded, everyone stopped what they were doing, and the numbers on their wristbands all froze.

The College Entrance Examination had officially ended!

Upon hearing this sound, countless people immediately blacked out and collapsed to the ground. It had been a full 24 hours of intense mental strain, without a moment of relaxation. Now, they could finally rest easy!

Ambulances from the logistics and rescue team drove into the safe zone one after another. The data had already been transmitted to the backend, and the students were finally free.

Students descended the mountain in groups of three to five, all looking disheveled and covered in dust, with their battle suits tattered. However, smiles bloomed on every face.

Those who managed to stay until this point were all warriors. Although they didn't know how the scores would be determined this time, everyone was above the passing line, though certainly incomparable to the Prodigies.

Jin Long alone killed over forty low-Rank Vicious Beasts and two first-Rank Vicious Beasts.

Lin Yun was slightly behind him.

Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, killed four first-Rank Vicious Beasts.

There was also Luo Cheng, who was only a few short of Xiao Xuan.

These individuals were all future students of key universities in Great Xia, a world apart from the others!

Of course, there was also that complete and utter anomaly, who was fundamentally different from Xiao Xuan and the others!

One after another, many students exited the examination hall and arrived at the candidate assembly point at the rear.

After everyone had gathered, the Chief Examiner would then send them back to their respective schools.

The school leaders of Quancheng First High School, along with officials from the Education Bureau and the Chief Examiner, kept their eyes fixed on the examination hall exit.

Lin Yun, Jin Long, Xiao Xuan, and other Prodigies from Quancheng First High School also watched the scene from a short distance away.

Everyone knew who the school leaders were waiting for.

“Xiao Xuan, this used to be your treatment, but now Ye Liuyun has snatched it away!”

Listening to Lin Yun's voice, Xiao Xuan snorted, “What do you mean? Trying to stir up a conflict between me and Ye Liuyun? Do you take me for a fool?

If you have an issue with him, go talk to him directly. I’m afraid he’ll punch you so hard you’ll need help just to go to the bathroom!”

Ye Liuyun achieved this through his own hard work and strength; he had no reason to be upset.

The gap between them was not insignificant.

And Lin Yun was simply a petty person, vindictive and insidious. He usually hung out with female students from the school, enjoying that feeling of vanity, and Xiao Xuan looked down on people like him.

“You—”

“That’s enough. If you can’t stand it, then leave!”

“Stop arguing, both of you. Do you think Ye Liuyun can become the number one in our Quancheng this time?” Jin Long interrupted the two, asking.

“Number one in Quancheng? Didn’t you hear the principal just now? He’s ranked third nationwide!”

Xiao Xuan’s voice was filled with awe.

Historically, these positions were dominated by the imperial capital, the demon capital, and other powerful provinces. The top scorer from their Quancheng could only Rank around a hundredth nationwide, as there were simply too many Prodigies in those places!

Whether it was strength, Family background, or the resources they enjoyed, all far surpassed what they had!

But now, Ye Liuyun, this dark horse, had broken through the limitations, directly trampling various Prodigies underfoot, bringing honor to them all!

“Tsk tsk tsk, third nationwide, damn I’m really jealous. This ranking should be enough for him to be admitted to those top academies, right?” Jin Long turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan.

He knew more about these things.

“Admitted? No! It should be 'fought over'!” Xiao Xuan also couldn’t hide his envy when he said this.

Great Xia’s university academies are divided into four Ranks:

There are only six first-Rank universities nationwide. These six schools have nurtured countless Prodigies, and they are known as the Six Gods Academy of Great Xia.

Below them are twenty-six comprehensive first-Rank universities.

The third Rank consists of specialized universities, with two to three in each province. The last Rank is vocational universities, which can be private or national.

This is Great Xia’s school system.

Just as the few of them were discussing.

Whispers began to rise.

“Ye Liuyun is coming out!”

At the same time, everyone turned their gaze towards the examination hall.

It was not an exaggeration to say that all eyes were on him.

Drones in the sky also locked their cameras onto him.

A figure emerged from the ruins, shirtless, with perfectly defined, bulging muscles and the smoke of battle. This scene was captured and immortalized by many.

When Ye Liuyun saw everyone looking at him, his face couldn't help but flush. So many eyes made him feel as if he wasn't wearing anything at all... The Chief Examiner was the first to applaud, his eyes full of admiration and praise.

Undoubtedly the first!

Led by him, everyone present followed suit, and the sky-shattering applause lasted for a full minute.

Wang Fujun, along with Education Bureau Director Chen Zhen and the Chief Examiner, walked over to greet him.

“Ye Liuyun, congratulations on achieving first place in this examination hall, and also first in Quancheng! First in Lu Province! Top Scorer of Lu Province!”

These series of titles were all earned by him through his hard work, without any embellishment.

In the first pilot College Entrance Examination, Ye Liuyun delivered a perfect score for Lu Province. This was not just his personal examination, but also represented the honor of the entire Lu Province.

Wang Fujun even cordially shook Ye Liuyun's hands, completely disregarding the Vicious Beast filth still on them.

“On behalf of Quancheng First High School, I thank you.” Ye Liuyun was not taught by their school.

However, most of the honor was taken by Quancheng First High School.

After speaking, Wang Fujun took off his jacket and draped it over Ye Liuyun, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Chen Zhen and Zhao Hai also came to his side.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes inwardly, feeling like he was a mascot.

However, this grand display truly shocked him, a person from a small place.

After the group photo was completed, the few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Ye Liuyun also expressed his gratitude to Wang Fujun and Zhao Hai.

Taking money to resolve problems for others.

If Zhao Hai hadn't brought him here, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve this honor.

Because in Pingcheng, such motivation would never appear. Even if he killed all the Vicious Beasts at the Pingcheng examination site, he wouldn't reach this level.

The grand welcoming ceremony concluded.

The transport ship slowly ascended, and students boarded the ship according to the arrival procedure. Ye Liuyun, however, was led to stand beside Wang Fujun and the others.

Zhao Yue’s beautiful eyes rippled. Looking at Ye Liuyun, who was surrounded by the prominent figures of Quancheng, she truly hadn’t expected that the student her father specially recruited could reach this level.

Rising from obscurity, leaving a host of Prodigies and talents behind.

Far ahead!

A stunning debut!
