111: The strong are always inexplicably hated.

Inside the room, everyone's gaze shifted between Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi.

Their eyes and words clearly conveyed their amazement and curiosity regarding the two.

Nie Yuxi's expression remained calm regarding Teacher Li's words, and she did not reply.

Qin Yu, meanwhile, ignored the whispers of the crowd in the room.

He faced Teacher Li, who was wearing the Academy's teacher uniform and exuded a rather imposing aura, and replied in a calm tone:

"This student will certainly not fail the Academy's cultivation."

Hearing this, Teacher Li scrutinized Qin Yu again.

Only then did he nod in satisfaction and say:

"Not bad, not bad. The young man is quite confident."

"I like this confidence of yours."

"Come over and register."

After speaking, Teacher Li returned to his previous seat and beckoned Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi to come forward for registration.

As for the others who were waiting there to register,

they were directly ignored by Teacher Li.

Most of these people were quite sensible.

Knowing their own talents were far inferior to Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi, and seeing that Teacher Li clearly intended to register them first,

they immediately and consciously made way.

However, "most" of these people naturally did not mean "all" of them.

Furthermore, among those present, there was one person who had been secretly holding a grudge against Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi for over ten days.

Therefore, just as Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi were about to step forward to register,

a voice abruptly rang out beside everyone's ears:

"Teacher Li, even though one of them is the National First Place and the other is the National Second Place,"

"Shouldn't we still adhere to the principle of first come, first served?"

"Moreover, it's not even certain whether Qin Yu truly has the strength of the National First Place, the one who broke the energy level record!"

As soon as this voice sounded, the majority of people at the registration office were extremely surprised.

They couldn't believe that a Freshmen would actually question a teacher at this moment.

The faces of Teacher Li and Dong Tianyu visibly darkened.

As for Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi, their expressions remained normal.

They were not angered by this.

Following the source of the voice, everyone quickly spotted the person who had spoken.

After clearly seeing who spoke, many people in the hall showed expressions of understanding and realization.

Even Nie Yuxi, whose expression had been calm all along, was the same.

"So it's Tang Wenjie? That makes sense then..."

"They say that before the College Entrance Examination results came out,"

"He always believed that his energy level of 3,000 euler meant he was the Provincial Champion of Jiangnan Province."

"He even specifically showed off online about it, which attracted a lot of flattery at the time."

"Who knew he'd be surpassed by the two dark horses, Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi? Haha."

"Now that you mention it, I think I remember..."

"After the College Entrance Examination results were released, wasn't his post ridiculed?"

"..."

Tang Wenjie, like Chi Tianlin, Huang Shaotian, and Chen Siyu, was one of the strongest and most famous Heavenly Talents recognized by the major provinces after the Class Change Ceremony.

However, Chi Tianlin and Huang Shaotian were more famous because they were located in the Capital or the Central Province.

Tang Wenjie, on the other hand, was like Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi.

All came from the remote Jiangnan Province!

Of course, even so, with his 3,100 euler energy level in the College Entrance Examination energy level test, he still had some fame online.

This was also why many Freshmen recognized him.

Furthermore, Tang Wenjie's score, in previous years in Jiangnan Province... generally speaking, could basically confirm that he would definitely be this year's Provincial Champion!

Therefore, after the College Entrance Examination and accepting the special recruitment offer from Star Ring Academy,

Tang Wenjie and his family didn't even consider whether someone might be stronger than him.

They immediately started celebrating prematurely.

Not only did he post online to show off, but in reality, they even held a celebratory feast for the Provincial Champion in advance.

Unexpectedly, once the results were announced... let alone the Provincial Champion, he wasn't even second place!

He was only third place.

And the ones ranked above him were Nie Yuxi and Qin Yu, whom he had heard of before but had always dismissed as a joke?

Because of this, Tang Wenjie was utterly humiliated within his social circle.

He lost all face.

At the same time, he secretly began to resent Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi in his heart.

Especially after watching the College Entrance Examination videos of Nie Yuxi and Qin Yu online, he became firmly convinced that the levels of Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi...

The reason they could reach such a high level

was entirely because the Energy Level Tester was broken!

Their true energy levels could absolutely not compare to his.

After all, as a native of Jiangnan Province,

he understood the conditions of Jiangnan Province far too well!

He simply refused to believe that he, someone from the provincial capital city who worked himself ragged just to reach 3,100 euler, would be surpassed by two people from small, insignificant cities.

And precisely because of this, while harboring resentment, upon learning that Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi were both specially recruited by Star Ring Academy just like him... he became determined that after school started,

he would definitely prove in front of everyone that:

The reason Qin Yu and Nie Yuxi achieved those scores

was entirely because the Energy Level Tester had malfunctioned!

And that he, Tang Wenjie, was the true Provincial Champion of Jiangnan Province in this year's College Entrance Examination!

Inside the registration office, looking at Tang Wenjie, who was now furious and glaring viciously, a new round of whispers broke out among the crowd.

Listening to the discussions of the people nearby,

Nie Yuxi and Qin Yu reacted differently.

Nie Yuxi's expression never changed from beginning to end.

After merely pausing her steps slightly,

she immediately ignored Tang Wenjie, walked straight to the registration window, and began processing her enrollment.

Nie Yuxi actually had some impression of Tang Wenjie in her mind.

If it weren't for her rebirth and the unexpected change in Qin Yu's Class... Tang Wenjie truly would have been the Provincial Champion of Jiangnan Province in this year's College Entrance Examination.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

Qin Yu, meanwhile, turned his head and glanced at Tang Wenjie.

He felt a little helpless.

He hadn't expected that

by taking first place, he would inadvertently offend such a "competitor."

Of course, Qin Yu wasn't going to get into a heated argument with Tang Wenjie over such a trivial matter.

Therefore, facing Tang Wenjie's nearly provocative statement,

Qin Yu did not respond at all.

He simply shrugged and yielded the position in front of him.

He then motioned for Tang Wenjie to go register first.
