404: Poor student

Ye Xuan's talent is beyond doubt; on the stone steps, her performance was second to none.

Li Yang was at the very back, no longer able to see Ye Xuan's figure, but he could still see Zhao Juncai, who also hadn't kept up with Ye Xuan.

This made Li Yang feel slightly more balanced inside.

After a full two hours, the pressure on the stone steps suddenly dissipated, followed by a surge of immense force that swept all the students into the Hua Xia Academy.

"Congratulations, from now on, you are officially students of the Hua Xia Academy."

Qin Jiang and An Xihe stood at the very front, Qing Chan and Mo Mo were half a step behind, and the Teachers stood behind them.

Hearing Qin Jiang's voice, the students finally came back to their senses, their faces all showing a hint of joy.

Qin Jiang scanned the crowd and continued:

"Next, based on your performance, students will be divided into three levels: outstanding students, regular students, and struggling students. Based on the level, the treatment within the academy will also be completely different."

The Hua Xia Academy does not nurture waste!

Of course, this grading is not permanent. Within the academy, as long as your performance is outstanding enough, there is a possibility of upgrading.

So, students with lower grades, don't be disappointed, you still have a chance."

After speaking, Qin Jiang beckoned, and behind him, a Teacher walked out.

In his hand, he held a list.

"Announce it," Qin Jiang said.

The Teacher responded and then looked at the students. Under their expectant gaze, he opened the list:

"Now, I will read the list of struggling students, totaling three hundred people."

"Li Yang, Ma Shun, Shen Qiu, Fan Yingying..."

In total, there were three hundred people, and Li Yang was ranked first.

The students whose names were called looked a bit upset and somewhat unwilling.

They were all geniuses, yet here, in the Hua Xia Academy, they had become struggling students.

They were not convinced!

However, under the stern gazes of the Teachers, these struggling students didn't dare to argue, only secretly resolving to make a comeback.

To get rid of the label of a struggling student.

"Next is the list of regular students, totaling eight hundred people."

"Lei Yutian, Yu Binbin, Shi Zihan..."

The first batch of students at the Hua Xia Academy totaled only one thousand one hundred and thirty people.

Three hundred struggling students, eight hundred regular students.

This means there were only thirty outstanding students.

Listening to each name, the students were all a bit nervous. They didn't want to appear on this list; outstanding students were the top tier.

Li Yang stood in the crowd, his fists clenched tightly. He was just a struggling student.

Moreover, he was the first one listed.

The order of this list seemed to go from worst to best.

In other words, he was the worst one.

Li Yang felt somewhat unwilling, but thinking of his own performance, he could only shake his head helplessly.

He had to admit, in the series of assessments, his performance was indeed ridiculously poor. He was the only one frozen into an ice sculpture, the only one hit by a fireball, the only one who almost couldn't get out of the illusion, and on the final stone steps, he was also at the very back.

With such performance, if someone said he was the worst one, he had no way to refute it.

He sighed, his gaze sweeping towards the front of the crowd where Ye Xuan was standing:

"She should be an outstanding student, right?"

Up until now, he hadn't heard Ye Xuan's name, and Ye Xuan's performance was indeed very good; she hadn't fallen behind even with him as a burden.

In the final trial, she was even far ahead, climbing to the very top.

Thinking of this, Li Yang felt a faint sense of inferiority. Was he truly worthy of such a woman?

Not until the list of eight hundred people was completely read was Ye Xuan's name mentioned, as expected.

She was an outstanding student.

However, what made Li Yang feel even worse was that he hadn't heard Zhao Juncai's name either.

That guy was actually an outstanding student too!

Zhao Juncai also stood at the front, his face full of joy upon not hearing his name.

What surprised him even more was that Miss Ye Xuan was also an outstanding student, just like him.

As for that struggling student...

It was best not to mention him. Miss Ye Xuan was very kind, and he shouldn't bully others either.

Anyway, there was absolutely no future for an outstanding student and a struggling student.

As for himself, his advantage had greatly increased.

Zhao Juncai looked towards Ye Xuan, and saw that a faint smile also hung on Ye Xuan's pretty face.

It seemed she was also very happy to become an outstanding student.

However, he didn't know that the reason Ye Xuan was happy was because she saw Qin Jiang. As for the ranking, she was very confident; becoming an outstanding student was just the most basic expectation.

Her gaze was fixed on Qin Jiang.

Although she knew her limits, she was still very happy to be able to look a few more times.

Moreover, it was very pleasing to the eye.

In fact, it wasn't just Ye Xuan; the gazes of many female students were attracted by Qin Jiang. Of course, they weren't as bold as Ye Xuan, staring directly, but rather looked shyly and stealthily.

Naturally, Qin Jiang felt the gazes of everyone.

Facing the crowd, Qin Jiang smiled warmly, occasionally meeting the eyes of female students. Qin Jiang would also respond with a kind nod, causing the other party to blush profusely.

At this moment, An Xihe's small hand reached Qin Jiang's waist.

Danger!

Qin Jiang's smile slightly faded, and he grabbed An Xihe's small hand, gently squeezing it a few times.

An Xihe pouted slightly and transmitted her voice:

"With so many female students, you're not thinking of taking advantage of your position, are you?"

"How could that be?"

"Xi He, don't slander me, I don't have such thoughts!"

"Then don't tease them."

"If you tease them and then don't want them, how will they get married in the future?"

"You're wrong. I'm the founder of the Hua Xia Academy. Is there a problem with being a little kind to my students?"

The two exchanged whispers. An Xihe rolled her eyes at Qin Jiang.

Kind to students?

Why aren't you kind to the male students? Only being kind to female students is double standards!

"Anyway, just don't tease them. Don't you know what you look like?"

"With your teasing, how will they look favorably upon other men in the future?"

"Also, Qing Chan said that the women of their Qinglian Divine Palace are now unwilling to marry; they are all waiting for you. You need to find time to resolve this matter too."

"..."

Listening to An Xihe's words, Qin Jiang felt somewhat innocent.

Being handsome wasn't his fault.

This was all natural.

"Did you hear me?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, An Xihe's small hand pinched his waist.

Qin Jiang's face tightened, and then he quickly responded:

"Got it!"

"It's just those little girls from the divine palace. Like those little white foxes, wouldn't it be fine to just bring them by my side?"

"As you wish."

An Xihe looked at the students, scanned the crowd, and then transmitted her voice again:

"Among these students, there are indeed some very good ones."

"If there's a chance, you can take advantage of your position a bit. After all, they are all going to be brought to the heaven domain, and it's most reassuring for them to become our own sisters."
