10: The head teacher's mouth was crooked with laughter, and the wealth was coming
People like dark horses because they symbolize potential and surprise, capable of bringing unexpected joy and a sense of accomplishment.
People like dark horses, and in truth, they also like the imagined version of themselves.
In an instant, Han Lie, who had previously received no attention whatsoever, immediately captured the gaze of nearly 50% of the young men and women.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
"Han Lie, is his name Han Lie?!"
"So handsome, truly so handsome!!!"
"I declare him my husband!!!"
The emotions of martial artists are always direct and open, leaving no doubt that within a few hours, Han Lie would have a so-called fan club; if he wanted it, he would definitely get it tonight.
It was that exaggerated!
The continuously flashing dark horse alert lights were practically igniting everyone's emotions; showing off in front of people was probably like this.
"What's the big deal?"
"It's just a dark horse, what's so special..."
Zhao Yi's number one fangirl pouted, telling the person next to her that Zhao Yi was still the greatest in her heart, but her hands were already fiddling with her phone, adding a note for her classmate, Han Lie.
Just like that,
The examination had clearly ended and should have dispersed long ago, but because of Han Lie's performance, it completely exploded.
Students shouted, "Han Lie is awesome!" "Holy cow, a dark horse!" "Can I get to know you?" and similar phrases, making Han Lie unsure how to exit the stage for a moment. He was a bit puzzled.
"Aren't the teachers going to do anything?"
...............
Indeed, they weren't. This world is like a wuxia novel, often ranking strong individuals. Adoration of strength is a characteristic of this era.
And to be honest, the ultimate destination for strong individuals in this world is the interstellar battlefield, where they risk their lives. Shouldn't they receive more social attention?
Are we to let actors and literati receive more attention and social resources? If that were the case, the world would truly be in chaos.
It was just that this time was indeed a bit exaggerated. One must know that Han Lie had no fan base before, and now some female students were already gathering at the edge of the podium, jumping up to hand him notes.
Some Experimental Class students, comparing this to their previous experience accumulating fans, were somewhat stunned.
"Does it have to be this exaggerated?"
"It's perfectly reasonable!"
Suddenly, someone spoke.
Everyone looked over at the sound, their surprise growing, because the person who spoke was none other than the school's universally recognized Goddess of War, Xin Yao.
Was she also interested in Han Lie?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Xin Yao's expression remained unchanged. She said softly,
"Ordinary people always love stories of rising from obscurity and making a miraculous comeback in desperate situations. The greater the disparity between achievement and origin, the greater the drama it brings. This is very interesting."
Xin Yao had one more thing she didn't say.
"Whose doing is this?"
Yes, in her opinion,
It's impossible for an ordinary person to achieve such accomplishments. Even if they were extremely lucky and favored by the heavens, it's not like a hundred-pull gacha. How could his blood qi quality grade be high, his physical strength exceed standards, and his blood qi value skyrocket? Why did all the good things happen to him?
What would those who painstakingly cultivate think?
Xin Yao was very certain that this was probably the work of a major family, deliberately creating momentum.
Momentum,
is very important for a strong individual.
The reason she gave up her recommendation qualification and chose to participate in the national Martial Exam was to crush all national prodigies with an invincible momentum.
Afterward, she would carry this momentum of being invincible among her peers.
And break through and advance all the way.
Now she was a little confused. What was the use of this dark horse momentum?
She didn't understand, but she tried to think about it.
Currently, the effect seemed excellent. It had to be admitted that this single burst today was equivalent to years of her accumulated fame.
..............
On the other side,
The reason the teachers didn't come to stop it was because they were also dumbfounded. In the past few decades, they had indeed seen many dark horses, but they had never seen one so dark.
"Blood Qi Value Skyrockets by Forty!!!" "Blood Qi Quality Grade S+!!!" "Physical Strength Abnormal!!!" "Blood Qi Value 100!!!"
These not only shattered the students' understanding but also made the teachers look at him with suspicion. Was this real?
Like Xin Yao, they also didn't believe this could be achieved simply by the heavens' favor. It didn't look like good luck; it looked like cheating.
He understood the students' reactions very well. When young, chasing stars is the most fervent, and who wouldn't like such a dazzling star that explodes into view in an instant?
The moral education teacher was very conservative. Under everyone's gaze, he went up to check the machine and quickly gave the result—
There was no problem with the results.
"....Huh?"
There was no problem with the results, no problem with the machine, but this student had too many problems!
Inquiries, understanding, investigations—these things would definitely have to be done because Han Lie had surpassed everyone's understanding, but those were matters for later, and they weren't something these teachers could do.
Now, all that was left for them was envy!
Putting everything else aside,
Why wasn't such an amazing child theirs? Why?!
"Old Wang, Old Wang!!!"
Li Pingshan gritted his teeth, "You've hidden it really well! When I was showing off Wang Yang just now, were you old fellahold backing it in, feeling uncomfortable? Were you intentionally trying to make me look bad?!"
Old Wang thought, 'You've really misunderstood me,' and forced a bitter smile: "......Not at all."
Several colleagues looked over, thinking, 'Are you humblebragging now?'
Old Wang's bitter smile deepened, "I'm telling you the truth, don't disbelieve me. Just before the test, I didn't have any expectations for Han Lie. In our class, to put it bluntly, he was very inconspicuous!"
The expressions of several people showed that Old Wang wasn't faking it, plus his previous look of quiet sadness, they could all confirm that he was unaware.
This genius was hidden so deeply?
"Holy cow, you didn't even know?"
"Yeah..."
Old Wang also tried to recall, but he couldn't find any clues of Han Lie secretly growing stronger. After thinking it over and over, he smiled helplessly.
"This kid is like Sun Wukong..."
"He just suddenly enlightened!"
"What a good phrase, 'he just suddenly enlightened'!!!"
Several people were gnashing their teeth. Why didn't such good fortune fall upon them? Regardless of whether the teacher put in effort or not, the subsequent benefits and treatment for teaching such a student would definitely not be small.
Aside, Old Ge from the Experimental Class also showed a hint of envy. He was detached, but he had never taught such an outrageous student.
"Hehe..." On the side, Old Wang, who had just been puzzled and frowning, suddenly laughed. Feeling the dagger-like stares around him, he immediately tried to compose himself, then in the next second, he showed his little white teeth.
"Hahahaha..."
"Sorry, I really can't hold it in!"
Could he hold it in?
Just a few minutes ago, he thought he was a supporting character, but he directly became the main character, or more accurately, the main character's teacher!
"Han Lie, oh Han Lie!!!"
"Teacher knew I didn't misjudge you!!!"
Old Wang recalled and finally remembered what he had said to Han Lie a year ago, "You kid are material for martial arts practice, keep at it!"
It might have been a courtesy, or a way to motivate.
But after today,
These words now demonstrated his keen eye!
Hahaha!
