21: Daxia was in an uproar, and Lu Province benefited from Ye Liuyun!

Ye Liuyun was unaware of the sensation he had caused at his alma mater.

After returning home, he couldn't wait to take a shower in the bathroom, as his body was covered in a mixture of blood and dirt from the battle.

He himself found it disgusting, but Wang Fujun didn't mind at all, as if he couldn't smell anything.

After showering, Ye Liuyun felt refreshed. Picking up his phone, he discovered that the college entrance examination results had already been released.

The speed was terrifyingly fast; it had just ended.

Without thinking much, Ye Liuyun immediately opened his phone, entered his candidate number, and began to search.

Candidate: Ye Liuyun

Examination Venue: Tianning Mountain Examination Venue

Candidate Number: 95271301 Shi 000069

Vicious Beasts Killed: 1 Second-Rank Elementary, 9 First-Rank Intermediate, 19 First-Rank Elementary, 126 Unranked

Congratulations on becoming the top scorer in the Lu Province college entrance examination and achieving an excellent third place nationally.

Please log in to the Great Xia Martial Artist Student Network ten days later to apply for your desired university.

Seeing this series of rankings, Ye Liuyun lay on the sofa, immediately relaxing completely.

What they said before was just what they said; now that he saw the official information, it was real.

“Gē zǒng, awesome!”

Ye Liuyun's excited voice echoed through the room... The announcement of the college entrance examination results caused a sensation across the entire Great Xia. Previously, results could only be checked ten days after the examination.

Now, they were announced on the same day, and candidates eagerly checked their scores.

They knew the number of kills they had, but the main goal was to check their Rank.

This check brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Those with lower Ranks were on the verge of tears, unsure if they could get into university, while those with higher Ranks were uncontrollably excited.

Some were happy, some were sad!

However! The name Ye Liuyun spread rapidly across all cities in Lu Province.

The dazzling data, including one Second-Rank Vicious Beast, a double-digit number of First-Rank Vicious Beasts, and a triple-digit number of unranked ones, shocked everyone who saw it!

The entire Lu Province was searching for Ye Liuyun, as this person was too unfamiliar to them.

Before the college entrance examination, many organizations had predicted the top performers, but no one expected that an unknown student would ultimately claim the top spot.

Ye Liuyun's identity information was also thoroughly dug up.

He experienced a beast tide from a young age, lost both parents, had a tragic family life, lived in subsidized housing, attended Pingcheng High School, and was discovered by Quancheng First High School due to an awakened ability mutation, subsequently being specially recruited for admission.

Beast-type ability, Rank unknown.

For many media outlets, Ye Liuyun's identity was practically a template for an inspiring life story.

With a little embellishment, it became the kind of story the public loved to read.

Thus, an overwhelming flood of short essays and reports swept across the internet.

The entrances of Quancheng First High School and Pingcheng High School were crowded with reporters every day.

The top scorer of Lu Province came from Quancheng First High School; this had been the case for eight out of ten years.

However, this time, the provincial top scorer ranked third nationally, which was of extraordinary significance and marked a groundbreaking college entrance examination for Lu Province's education sector.

Online public opinion also exploded.

“Unknown ability? What does that mean? Someone with an unknown ability and unknown Rank actually managed to become the top scorer?”

“I was a student at the Tianning Mountain Examination Venue, and I personally witnessed Ye Liuyun killing Vicious Beasts. He was incredibly fierce.”

“Can the big shot upstairs elaborate? I want to hear!”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“Begging!”

“...”

Of course, it wasn't all praise; some with ulterior motives immediately started a debate online.

They claimed that Ye Liuyun was merely a gimmick launched by the officials, that it was a complete performance, with the Tianning Mountain Examination Venue as the set and Ye Liuyun as the protagonist.

All of this was to cover up the harm that the practical combat college entrance examination inflicted on children.

Facing these doubts, the Great Xia's official Education Bureau directly publicized the videos of the top ten performers in this college entrance examination to clarify the fairness of the examination and counter the various chaotic voices.

When the videos were released, Ye Liuyun's name immediately soared to the top of trending searches.

In the video, Ye Liuyun's extremely exaggerated method of attracting Vicious Beasts sparked even more discussion.

“What the heck? He actually used Vicious Beasts to attract more Vicious Beasts? This guy is too confident in his own strength!”

“If I had his ability, I'd be even crazier than him!”

“Is this a Beast-type ability? I request the authorities to investigate; I suspect Ye Liuyun is a Vicious Beast himself!”

As for the final segment, the battle with the Frost White Ape, it was edited into various versions and widely circulated on major video websites.

His fearless, head-on combat style against Vicious Beasts attracted a group of devoted fans, both male and female, to Ye Liuyun.

In the past, humans faced Vicious Beasts by relying on agile bodies and intelligence to achieve kills, but Ye Liuyun's combat lacked any technique; it was purely about overwhelming force.

The final scene of the energy clash was even reposted by many official media outlets.

Pingcheng, such a small city, welcomed many media outlets.

Zhang Wenzhong stood at the school gate, accepting interviews from the media.

He was beaming and spoke eloquently.

“I had always been paying attention to this child, Ye Liuyun, because everyone knows his experiences were particularly tragic, but this child is truly remarkable!

He is not only the pride of our Pingcheng but also the pride of our entire Lu Province!”

Virtually everyone in Pingcheng First High School who knew Ye Liuyun was interviewed thoroughly.

At the ruins of the infirmary, which Ye Liuyun had destroyed earlier.

Two people stood in front of the camera, continuously striking poses.

“This is how we sent Ye Liuyun to the infirmary.”

“I was there at the time, and I even poured him a glass of water…”

This was merely the situation in Pingcheng.

Quancheng First High School was even more exaggerated.

Wang Fujun, Zhao Hai, and Zhang Wenzhong, as well as some former classmates who had connections with Ye Liuyun, were all eagerly interviewed by various media outlets.

Wang Fujun even displayed the rewards their school had given to Ye Liuyun.

Quancheng First High School, as a school, completely became popular throughout Great Xia.

Because of Ye Liuyun's unique experiences, he was even more popular than the two who ranked first and second; they were traditional Geniuses who Cultivated step-by-step in an orderly fashion.

However, a wild Genius like Ye Liuyun had more news value.

The external commotions did not affect Ye Liuyun; he simply stayed quietly in his room.

After the college entrance examination results were announced, Zhao Hai, Wang Fujun, Zhang Wenzhong, and some former classmates called him to offer congratulations.

There was also the matter of collecting his rewards tomorrow morning.

In Ye Liuyun's opinion, this was the important matter.

However, Wang Fujun had given advance notice that when he received his Cultivation Technique this time, not only would leaders from the Lu Province Education Bureau be present, but also the top leader of Lu Province and several other prominent figures.

From the moment he became the third-ranked nationally, this matter had already acquired political significance.

After all, this pilot college entrance examination was a major initiative proposed by the Great Xia central government, and for Lu Province to produce a national third-ranked candidate at this critical juncture, it could be said that all leaders in Lu Province felt honored.

In other words, they had inadvertently cooperated with the central government!

Although there were no commendations or awards, the leaders of Lu Province all knew that after the college entrance examination, many resources would gravitate towards Lu Province, which was an intangible reward!

Great Xia's two major battle armor and weapon manufacturing groups had already sent people to Lu Province to select sites for establishing branch companies.

It could be said that the entire Lu Province benefited along with Ye Liuyun!
