67: Chapter 67: A Major Twist!
In the eyes of some, Bai Ye's score was definitely fake.
It was a shady deal, a manipulation!
Many people demanded a thorough investigation.
Put an end to cheating in exams!
Among these people, the voices of doubt were loudest from two places.
One was the Capital, and the other was Magic City!
The two geniuses from the Capital and Magic City had long been quite famous.
Why couldn't they compare to this unknown kid from a small place?
They were unconvinced!
"Fang Zihao is my classmate; he's the most powerful Genius I've ever seen!"
"With his strength, how could he not be in first place?"
"And he's thousands of points behind first place!"
"This is absolute nonsense!"
"Who does that guy of yours think he is? Our Bao Zhijie is the real Genius!"
"He's the one who should have taken first place!"
"Holy crap, this Bai Ye's cheating is way too over the top."
"His talent is actually just the level-one Small Water Droplet."
"How could such trash become number one?"
Of course, there were also some people who managed to stay rational.
They spoke up now.
"What are you questioning?"
"This is a national ranking released after multiple rounds of auditing."
"Do you have any sense at all?"
But such voices were quickly drowned out.
"I don't believe it. No matter what you say, I just don't believe it!"
"I'm going to watch the footage right now; one look and I'll know if it's real or fake!"
"I refuse to believe anyone could get this many points!"
"Just wait until you see the footage; you're going to get slapped in the face!"
So, many people went to look for the footage of the Ability User Assessment.
One good thing about the Ability User Assessment was that all battles were recorded in their entirety, so there was absolutely no fakery, and there were even live broadcasts of the whole event.
Therefore, anyone could find it immediately with a quick search.
Even those with the lowest intelligence were no exception.
As everyone found Bai Ye's footage one after another...
Public opinion underwent a complete and shocking reversal!
"Holy crap! One slash, one kill—this level is way too high!"
"Fierce, absolutely fierce!"
"This guy is a real ruthless character! He doesn't even need to use his Superpower!"
"This person is an absolute Genius no matter where you put him; who would dare question him now?"
"I'm convinced; I'm finally completely convinced!"
"Damn, I need to apologize for what I just said. Turns out I was just a frog at the bottom of a well!"
Everyone finally realized.
It wasn't that Bai Ye was too outrageous, but that they were too ignorant!
They had never seen what a true Genius looked like.
Soon, everyone also saw what it looked like when Bai Ye unleashed his Superpower.
Footage from the Inner Arena was also unearthed, as well as the Central Area.
That powerful Superpower was so exhilarating to watch that it was even better than a movie!
Everyone discovered to their immense surprise...
That Bai Ye's Superpower was no trash.
It was incredibly powerful Magma, with infinite might!
Not only that, he didn't have just one Superpower.
He possessed two Superpowers with completely opposite natures simultaneously!
The other was also very simple yet extremely powerful: Freezing!
Furthermore, footage of him releasing both Superpowers at once was instantly released.
After seeing this scene, many people were speechless, only able to use exclamation marks to express their admiration!
Countless shocked emojis flew around the comments section.
"Holy crap, even using cheats wouldn't be this ridiculous, right?"
"Powerful Magma—what rank of Superpower is this? It's insane."
"And the Freezing, it froze an entire lake surface in an instant; the power is just too great!"
"You're telling me this is the trashiest rank of Superpower? You've got to be kidding me!"
"Respected Lord Bai Ye, I was talking nonsense in the comments section just now. I hope you don't mind!"
"I declare that he has become my new idol!"
The outrageous public opinion that had initially fermented instantly changed direction after everyone saw the footage.
Everyone was discussing...
...just how powerful Bai Ye's strength really was.
Especially the ranks of his two Superpowers.
Some said they were at least A-rank at minimum.
Some said if they weren't S-rank, they'd eat dirt.
Right at that moment...
Magic City Esper School also followed the trending topic.
They immediately released a headline news story!
[Congratulations!]
[The first-place winner of this Ability User Assessment, Student Bai Ye, has joined our Magic City Esper School!]
[According to our extremely rigorous analysis...]
[...Student Bai Ye's talent is Double S-rank!]
Once this news came out...
The internet exploded!
Even more, a super explosive piece of news immediately climbed to the top of the rankings.
#Bai Ye, Double S-rank Superpower!#
This news was truly heart-shaking.
Many people rubbed their eyes in shock after seeing this.
They couldn't believe their eyes!
You have to understand, the geniuses they knew...
...were at most S-rank!
But what about Bai Ye?
SS-Rank, and two of them!
He was a super Genius on a completely crushing level.
"Holy crap, no wonder his score was so high. I'm completely stunned!"
"Even S-ranks can't even compare to him; the guy is Double S-rank!"
"Damn, if I had even a quarter of his talent, I'd be invincible."
"Can't you just give me one S? I'm only a B right now."
"I think you look like a total idiot."
"It's such a pity that such a Genius fell into the hands of Magic City Esper School!"
At this moment, inside a roadside restaurant...
Teacher Huang Chen had just finished his meal.
Constantly rushing between Magic City and Bai Ye's city had left him with no time for dinner.
So he could only grab a bite to eat on the way back.
He also happened to scroll through his phone!
He looked at the massive number of comments under his school's comment section.
Teacher Huang Chen nodded immediately.
His decision was indeed correct!
He was the one who authorized the release of this information.
After all, an SS-Rank like Bai Ye's might not appear again for over a decade.
And Double S-rank was even more of an absolute Genius.
By doing this, Teacher Huang Chen had directly brought a huge wave of positive publicity to his school.
It also made their recruitment work much easier this time.
Looking at the incredibly excited comments below...
Teacher Huang Chen knew that the effect this time was indeed very good.
Thinking of this, Teacher Huang Chen suddenly remembered his daughter.
Right, part of the reason Bai Ye was able to join his school this time was actually because of his daughter!
He would take this opportunity to send her a message.
Quietly trying to play matchmaker for the two of them!
If it succeeded, it would be awesome.
Magic City Esper School, Guan Shu's dormitory!
In fact, the place where a top student like her lived wasn't just some dormitory, but a small villa.
Everything she needed was provided.
Guan Shu hadn't been paying attention to the Ability User Assessment.
