20: Third in the country

On the way back to school, Ye Liuyun was invited by many bigwigs to sit in their area. This treatment was envied by many students. When they came, everyone received the same treatment, but on the way back, it was different.

Nie Xiaoyu’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Ye Liuyun. She thought he would still sit with her on the way back, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

“Ye Liuyun, in view of your excellent results, the school has decided to award you five million in cash in the school's name, and the house you are currently living in will also be directly awarded to you.

We hope you can come home often to visit in the future!” Wang Fujun’s face was full of gentle smiles, looking at Ye Liuyun as if he were his own junior.

“Thank you, Principal,” Ye Liuyun said.

He felt alright about the house, because he would definitely not live in Quancheng after going to university, but the five million was truly a timely help. Cultivating as a Martial Artist was extremely expensive.

Fortunately, he wouldn't need to buy equipment for now. The reward for challenging the Frost White Ape was very generous.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Chief Examiner.

“Chief Examiner, I wonder about my reward…”

“Hahaha, I know you’re in a hurry, kid. After the college entrance examination results are announced to the public this afternoon, come to Quancheng First High School tomorrow morning to collect it.”

“Alright!”

“However, Ye Liuyun, at that time you will also need to undergo an ability assessment. According to our inquiries, you have not had a specific ability assessment since your ability mutated!

Therefore, we suspect that your ability is not A-Rank at all.”

The Chief Examiner looked at Ye Liuyun and said.

All their high-ranking officials unanimously suspected that this young fellow’s ability was not as simple as A-Rank. Currently, he ranked among the top three in the country, and the two people ahead of him both had S-Rank abilities, Prodigies attracting national attention.

Logically speaking, Ye Liuyun, who was almost on par with them, should also be S-Rank.

“Then let’s test it,” Ye Liuyun said calmly. He knew what Rank his ability was, and he feared that the entire Lu Province would be shocked again at that time.

“Have you decided which university you want to attend?”

The Chief Examiner suddenly asked.

“No,”

Ye Liuyun shook his head. He had been training ever since he arrived in Quancheng and hadn't yet looked into this aspect.

Wang Fujun quickly said, “With your score, you can casually pick any of the Great Xia Six Gods Academy. Oh, do you know about the Six Gods Academy?”

“I’ve probably heard of it, but I’m not very familiar.”

Wang Fujun enthusiastically introduced, “The Six Gods Academy are the six super-first-class academies in Great Xia, ranking among the top six academies nationwide. They have cultivated countless Prodigies, and both their faculty and facilities are the most top-notch in the country.

The lowest-ranked teachers are Fifth-Rank Advanced Martial Artists, and there are even Eighth-Rank and Ninth-Rank existences among them.

They are the Imperial Capital Tianwu University, the Demonic Capital Shangwu Academy, the Great Xia National Martial Arts University, and also the Star City Shenwu Academy, the Northeast Yanwu University, and the Sea City Yunwu University.

You can choose any of these six universities; go to whichever one you want!”

As Wang Fujun spoke, his eyes revealed immense reverence.

The so-called Six Gods Academy was not just a fancy title; it was because their schools had cultivated Ninth-Rank great powers, and more than one.

That’s how they earned this title.

“Principal, I wonder which school would be suitable for my Beast-type ability?”

Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to ask. He knew the names of these schools, but there was a saying, “ 術業有專攻” (each profession has its own specialization).

Top-tier academies like these must have their most renowned specialties.

“This…” Wang Fujun’s brows furrowed. The Beast-type ability was very unique in the world.

Because generally speaking, Beast-type abilities below Third-Rank were relatively half a step ahead of abilities of the same type. This was due to their special energy composition.

But after the Third-Rank watershed, it was hard to say. Their ability strength determined their upper limit.

Unlike Martial Artists of the Tianli System, even if their ability Rank was B, various endless Martial Skills could 100% mobilize their abilities.

However, Beast-type abilities were relatively more singular, and most Martial Skills were body-focused.

Only at this moment did they remember that Ye Liuyun seemed to be the first person in Quancheng, and even the entire country, to achieve such good results with a Beast-type ability.

“We will help you research this further, but after the college entrance examination results are announced, the admissions offices of these schools will definitely contact you.

At that time, listen to their conditions and make your own judgment.”

Wang Fujun and the others felt a bit awkward and embarrassed, because their students had never attended such schools, and what they knew more about were miscellaneous rumors… After returning to school, many students were successively picked up by parents who had been waiting at the entrance.

Ye Liuyun was originally going to leave with Zhao Hai, but the Principal was too enthusiastic.

In the end, he could only accept the Principal's invitation and let him drive him home.

“Isn’t Ye Liuyun coming with us?”

In the car, Zhao Yue looked at her father curiously.

“The Principal wants to personally drive him. That kid has soared to great heights now!” Zhao Hai’s voice was full of emotion.

Lu Province’s top scorer, third in the nation!

This person was brought to Quancheng First High School by him. This honor was destined to allow him to advance further, perhaps even succeed the Principal in the future.

For the education industry, this was a very brilliant political achievement.

“The Principal is really… Ye Liuyun was recruited by you, so he’s a bit too much…”

Zhao Yue grumbled unhappily.

“It’s human nature, and besides, he’s the principal of a school. But your old man has already received the Principal’s promise.

I expect my position will change soon, and there’s a cash reward too.” Zhao Hai could hardly hide his excitement.

But at the same time, he felt a little regretful. If he had known Ye Liuyun was so formidable, he would have treated him even better.

Such a person was surely destined to soar in the future. He still didn't seize the opportunity; he should have directly agreed to adopt him as a godson back then.

And made that title official!

A miscalculation.

Although he had been in the education world for so many years, who could have imagined that Ye Liuyun could achieve this much?

He dared not even dream of it!

...With the conclusion of the college entrance examination, the entire Great Xia was already in a frenzy on the day it ended. Although the first pilot college entrance examination had flaws, the flaws did not obscure the virtues.

Through this college entrance examination, students gained a clearer understanding of actual combat and Vicious Beasts. This not only tempered their Heart-Nature but also improved their personal abilities and ability to handle temporary situations.

In the current world situation, Vicious Beast invasions frequently occurred. Having such valuable experience meant that if they encountered such situations in the future, they would have the ability to cope.

And Quancheng was like boiling water; all the students who participated in the college entrance examination knew the name Ye Liuyun.

Almost all students were asking the students from the Tianning Mountain examination hall about Ye Liuyun’s situation.

Among the six examination centers, only Tianning Mountain's special reward challenge was successful. Three other examination centers initiated challenges, but all failed without exception.

And two others had no one even attempt the challenge; the strength gap was too great.

Therefore, many people were very curious about this fierce individual.

A solo challenge, and he completed it!

What terrifying ability!

...Pingcheng High School.

On the playground, all the students stood neatly. The college entrance examination had just ended.

Principal Zhang Wenzhong stood on the podium giving a speech.

In this college entrance examination, most of their students hunted one to three low-Rank Vicious Beasts. The top student in the entire school killed six low-Rank Vicious Beasts. He stood on the podium, his expression proud.

During Zhang Wenzhong’s speech, the Dean of Students rushed to Zhang Wenzhong’s side.

Everyone looked curiously at their principal. Why was his face so red?

A moment later.

Zhang Wenzhong threw away the manuscript in his hand, gripping the microphone with both hands, his voice trembling with excitement.

“Students, teachers, today I want to tell you a piece of good news. Ye Liuyun, who came from our school, achieved the top spot in Quancheng and was the top scorer of Lu Province in this college entrance examination!

Lu Province has decided to rebuild our school and provide us with some Advanced equipment!

This is our school’s…”

The teachers and students present were already dazed by the shock.

First in Quancheng?

And Lu Province’s top scorer??

The face of Pingcheng’s top student on the stage darkened. He and Ye Liuyun were classmates, and they lived next door.

This stage was supposed to be for his commendation, but now everyone’s attention wasn't on him at all!

Damn it!
