83: Chapter 83 I am the best in Jincheng, who do you think you are, Zhang Jian?

Wang Hongming had originally felt that everything was foolproof.

But suddenly, he still had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Could that brat Zhang Jian have had some stroke of good luck, latched onto the thigh of some Divine-Grade Professional, and scored over 3000 points?"

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

He couldn't help but call Ye Wenjie over.

"Wenjie, you did well on the exam this time. Is it possible for you to take the top spot in our Jincheng City?"

Ye Wenjie smiled triumphantly, directly revealing his personal terminal to show him the message he had received.

"Student [Ye Wenjie], congratulations on achieving the [1st] place in the regular scores among all candidates in Jincheng City for the Long Province Professional Unified Examination."

"Good, good, good!"

"Student Ye Wenjie is the pride of our Jincheng Vocational Trainee Academy!"

"Once the results are officially announced, I will definitely convince the other academy leaders to prepare a generous graduation gift for you!"

Wang Hongming was deeply gratified and excitedly slapped the armrest of his chair.

Ye Wenjie echoed him on the surface, but inwardly he was dismissive.

"With my grades, I will definitely be able to get into a good Professional University; my future is limitless."

"What good things could a small academy dean like you possibly offer?"

"Once the results are announced, I will make my name renowned throughout Jincheng City!"

Ye Wenjie thought secretly.

"When that time comes, I must ruthlessly trample Zhang Jian and that punk Wang Fei under my feet."

"So what if you have a good weapon?"

"What is there to show off about taking an airship to the Unified Examination?"

"In today's world, strength is everything!"

"I was able to clear 17 waves; that's a score you wouldn't even dare to dream of in your entire lives!"

Thinking of the shocked expressions on their faces when they see his scores in the future, Ye Wenjie felt very expectant.

He couldn't even be bothered to chat with Wang Hongming anymore and directly stood up to take his leave.

While relieved, Wang Hongming also secretly felt that he had been too oversensitive.

Ye Wenjie was already number one in Jin City with over 2000 points; there was no need to look at the bracket above 3000 points at all.

Unless Zhang Jian had achieved a top-three ranking in the entire province, in which case he wouldn't be listed in the Jincheng City rankings.

But how could that be possible?

Just as he was thinking about this.

The second message from Wang Yun arrived.

Looking at the cautious tone of the other party, Wang Hongming found it somewhat amusing instead.

"What kind of talent is required for special admissions? Let alone Jincheng City, even Long Province only has a few spots each year. How could it be such a coincidence that Zhang Jian and Wang Fei are among them?"

"If that were really the case, I would be too unlucky!"

He sent a message to Wang Yun to express his gratitude.

Ring, ring!

Just as he relaxed, the ringtone of the old-fashioned phone on his desk, representing work information, suddenly rang.

Wang Hongming's expression tightened, and he hurriedly picked it up.

A majestic voice came from the other end.

"Today, admission representatives from several Professional Universities will be going to your city for early special admissions. Please make preparations for the coordination work."

Wang Hongming's heart tightened.

"It can't be, right?"

"Could Zhang Jian be among them?"

"Leader, may I ask which students are involved? Do I need to summon them in advance?"

"A few?"

The voice on the other end paused.

"Only Ye Wenjie from your academy and Han Dong from the Jincheng Extreme Alliance met the special admission requirements. How many more do you want?"

Wang Hongming finally set his mind at ease.

"Understood, leader. I will definitely complete the task!"

Feeling his state go from tense to relaxed, Wang Hongming laughed at himself.

"I am a dignified academy dean, yet I was made so nervous by information about two brats. I really am regressing as I get older."

However.

This had now completely locked down the range; all areas had been ruled out.

Wang Hongming smiled knowingly.

Since all possible scenarios had been ruled out, the answer was very simple.

Zhang Jian and Wang Fei must have only scored within 1000 points.

This score had already cut off any possibility of getting into a Professional University in another province.

Even if one were to guess to the most exaggerated degree, with Ye Xun's help, Zhang Jian and the other's daily performance was very good.

At most, they might be able to get into the most ordinary Martial Dao University in the province.

In all likelihood, they probably failed to make the list.

Such people, even if they harbored resentment towards him in their hearts, would not be able to stir up any trouble.

Wang Hongming slowly brewed a cup of tea, compiled all the messages and the screenshot of Ye Wenjie's ranking, and sent them over together.

The other party sent a thumbs-up emoji.

The tone was also noticeably much more cheerful.

Wang Hongming drank two more cups of tea happily before getting up leisurely.

"Time to go meet the admission representatives."

His beloved student Ye Wenjie really brought honor to him.

Wang Hongming left the academy in high spirits.

...

At the academy entrance.

Instructor Wang Weidong looked at this familiar building with nostalgia.

It was the place where he had been a teacher for fifteen years.

Back then, when his wife's family encountered some mishaps, he gave up his dream of going out into the world to adventure and struggle in order to take care of her, returning to his hometown to settle down as an ordinary teacher.

Over these many years, although he hadn't produced any incredibly formidable students, he could be considered conscientious and dutiful.

Zhang Jian was a kid he had originally been particularly optimistic about.

But for some reason, fate was cruel to him.

Not only did he Awaken the most ordinary profession, but he was also targeted everywhere by people from who knows where.

In the end, he was even forced to give up his status as an academy candidate.

Dean Wang Hongming's attitude made him both angry and helpless.

During the Unified Examination, Ye Wenjie was full of dissatisfaction toward Zhang Jian and even publicly accused him of always favoring Zhang Jian, failing to fulfill his corresponding responsibilities to other students.

On top of that, his wife's health had been acting up again these past two days.

He decided to give up this job, sell his house in Jin City, and take his wife out to a big city to find a high-Rank healing Professional to take a good look at her.

He would also pick up that dream from his youth of longing for fighting and adventure once again.

He just didn't know how Zhang Jian had performed in the final Unified Examination and whether he had achieved a good score.

Was there any hope of getting into his desired Professional University?

Instructor Wang Weidong sighed.

With his slow understanding recently, he realized that the curse his wife was suffering from was not as easy to remove as he had previously thought.

Instead, on top of Epic-Rank healing skills, it also required a combination of several rare potions to be completely eradicated.

Several hundred thousand huaxia coins were simply a drop in the bucket and wouldn't be of much use.

Therefore, he wasn't as anxious about the money he lent to Zhang Jian as he was before.

Once the money from the sale of the house arrived, it would be enough for him to go to a bigger city, rent a place, and settle down first.

Then he would slowly find an opportunity to treat his wife.

Instructor Wang Weidong turned his head, no longer lingering on the scene before him.

He prepared to wait for the house buyer to come tomorrow, complete the transaction, and then leave Jin City for good.

What he didn't notice was.

At another gate next to the academy, Wang Hongming had just left, his face glowing with excitement.

Neither of them saw the other, and their moods were worlds apart.

Instructor Wang Weidong walked slowly, his back hunched.

The setting sun stretched his shadow very long.

He didn't know that, at this moment, Zhang Jian's sword light was easily slicing through the thick defenses of mechanical monsters.

He knew even less that.

Tomorrow, his life would welcome a brand new chapter.
