Chapter 153: He got a perfect score in his academic subjects and even took a nap.
The frequency of the flashes suddenly increased several times.
The rapid clicking of camera shutters created a continuous chorus.
"It's him! Chen Yifan! He really came!"
"My God, he looks... just like my neighbor's younger brother who hates to get up in the morning. Is this really the kind of tough guy who can solo an SSS-level event and survive the legendary assassin Hundred Faces?"
"Didn't Wuhan University in Longdu issue a special admissions notice? What's he doing here? To cheer on the students?"
Reporters and onlookers erupted in excitement, with countless cameras fixed on that figure.
Countless gazes, a mixture of fervent worship, sharp scrutiny, and undisguised jealousy.
It enveloped Chen Yifan.
Any eighteen-year-old boy would probably have gone weak in the knees under such a display.
But Chen Yifan just stretched lazily.
It felt as if the clamor of tens of thousands of people around me was less real than the birdsong outside my window in the early morning.
His still-sleepy appearance created a stark contrast with the tense, frozen atmosphere around him, resulting in a very strong sense of separation.
Really noisy.
However, that's exactly the effect we wanted.
A thought flashed through his mind, but his face revealed a perfectly timed look of bewilderment.
The pressure from that guy named Lin Sen was as heavy as a mountain.
He must, as soon as possible, firmly attach himself to the label of "the nation's future genius."
A peerless genius who is hailed as a god by the entire nation and personally endorsed by the authorities has a level of security far exceeding that of a mere "city hero" who has only risen to fame.
By then, if Lin Sen wants to do anything to me again, he'll have to think twice before he accidentally slaps a hornet's nest in China.
"Brother Fan, over here!"
Wang Fugui's burly body carved a path through the crowd as he waved vigorously at Chen Yifan.
He and Lin Xiaoyu did not take the school bus, but arrived on their own ahead of time.
Chen Yifan nodded to him and walked towards the assembly area for the candidates from No. 1 High School.
Wherever he went, the crowd automatically parted to both sides.
Those gazes that were initially tinged with doubt and jealousy involuntarily lowered their heads when they met his calm and unwavering eyes up close.
That's not the look of a student.
The eyes of someone who has been through countless battles clearly have that look.
"This guy..."
Not far away, Su Qingxue stared at Chen Yifan, who was surrounded by a crowd, her eyes almost overflowing with inquiry and confusion.
Every time she saw him, a pebble would be thrown into the lake of her heart.
She couldn't see through it.
Despite being registered as an F-level thief, she was able to do things that even she couldn't match in her prime.
Even though he had already been reserved by Wuhan University in Longdu, he still came to compete with ordinary candidates in the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination.
He is full of inexplicable contradictions, and these contradictions intertwine to create a near-fatal attraction.
Seemingly sensing something, Chen Yifan's gaze pierced through the crowd and met hers from afar.
He grinned at her, revealing a set of white teeth.
He's such a sunny and cheerful young man!
Su Qingxue's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and the figure in her memory overlapped with the person in front of her.
She looked away, somewhat embarrassed, as if her secret had been exposed.
"All candidates, please present your admission ticket to enter the examination room!"
The stadium's loudspeakers suddenly blared, interrupting the commotion.
Chen Yifan had just stepped into the No. 1 Middle School's line.
Principal Zhou Dehai charged at us like a cannonball.
"Yifan! My dear classmate! You've finally arrived!"
Zhou Dehai grabbed Chen Yifan's hand, his face trembling with excitement.
"Principal, what you're doing..."
"oops!"
Zhou Dehai shook Chen Yifan's hand forcefully, his eyes burning with a intensity that could scald a person.
"Your presence today is like a powerful shot in the arm for our No. 1 High School and the entire education sector in Jiangcheng!"
He turned sharply to the reporters behind him, who were carrying cameras from official media outlets, and said with all his might:
"Look closely, everyone! This is Chen Yifan, a student from our No. 1 High School! Even after being specially admitted to Longdu Martial Arts University at the SSS level, he still hasn't forgotten his original aspirations and has come back to take the college entrance examination!"
"What kind of spirit is this?"
"This is the best embodiment of the spirit of Jiangcheng No.1 High School!"
The reporters' flashbulbs went off again.
Chen Yifan was so dizzy from being shaken that he could only manage a forced smile.
That old fox knows exactly how to capitalize on trending topics.
The first item is the academic exam.
Tens of thousands of candidates were assigned to a spacious stadium, each with their own individual answering booth.
The exam has begun.
An exam paper appeared on the virtual screen in front of me.
Chen Yifan glanced at it only once before starting to write.
His pace was not fast, one could even say rather slow, but he never stopped.
An hour later.
While a group of test takers were still scratching their heads over a complicated psionic formula.
Chen Yifan had already submitted his exam paper and was lying on the table, catching up on sleep as if no one else was around.
In the proctoring center, in front of a huge wall of monitoring screens.
Zhou Dehai and Zhao Lixin, the director of the Education Bureau, were staring intently at the split screen belonging to Chen Yifan.
"Have you... handed in your paper?"
A young proctor looked at the figure sleeping face down on the screen, his voice trembling.
"It's only been an hour! Has he given up already?"
"give up?"
Zhao Lixin glanced at him, his eyes looking at him like he was a fool.
He tapped the light screen in front of him and brought up Chen Yifan's exam paper.
"See for yourself."
On the light screen are the test papers that the system has graded in real time.
A bright red number, glaringly obvious.
"100".
The young teacher's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
One hour, perfect score.
Then go to sleep.
This is no longer in the category of academic genius, is it?
Could the exam questions have been leaked?
"Did you see that! Did you see that!"
Zhou Dehai was so excited that he slapped Zhao Lixin on the back, causing the latter to stumble.
"I knew it! Genius! This is the confidence of a genius! Faced with an absolute reserve of knowledge, any exam is just a formality!"
Zhao Lixin glanced at Zhou Dehai with some displeasure.
This Zhou Dehai!
They're getting more and more disrespectful.
He rubbed his back, which had been slapped so hard, but then a wide smile spread across his face.
He could already imagine what the headlines would be tomorrow.
Shocking! A hero in Wuhan slept for an hour during the exam and achieved a perfect score in the academic subjects!
"A Genius Has Descended! Unveiling the Secrets of an SSS-Level Genius's Exam Preparation Method: Sleep!"
This wave of popularity is enough to sustain the Jiangcheng education system until next year!
It seems that his trip to the provincial capital is now a done deal.
Two hours later, the academic exams ended.
The candidates walked out of the cubicles one after another, each with a look of utter exhaustion on their face.
Wang Fugui scratched his head, looking utterly miserable.
"Damn it, I feel like all I wrote for that last tactical analysis question was nonsense."
Lin Xiaoyu pursed her lips and whispered:
"I...feel this is so difficult too."
Su Qingxue walked out calmly, clearly indicating that this level of exam posed no pressure for her.
When they saw Chen Yifan yawning, looking like he hadn't slept well, Wang Fugui couldn't help but go over to him.
"Brother Fan, how are you? Are you finding it pretty difficult too?"
"It's alright, I've filled it all up." Chen Yifan rubbed his eyes. "It's just a bit noisy, I didn't sleep well."
Wang Fugui: "..."
Lin Xiaoyu: "..."
Su Qingxue, who was listening intently from a distance, thought, "..."
Even the other test-takers who heard this almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
We're burning the midnight oil here, and you're sleeping in the exam room?
The gap between people is truly greater than the gap between humans and strange beasts.
Next is the second item, level/talent assessment.
The atmosphere was even more tense and solemn than before.
Academic subjects are fundamental, but they don't account for a large proportion of the curriculum.
The same applies to this one.
It can directly determine the outcome of the next exam.
The candidates were led in batches into “psychic detection chambers” that resembled giant white eggs.
"drop--"
"Candidate: Wang Fugui. Level: Lv.26. Class: C-rank Shield Warrior. Talent: D-rank [Tough Skin]. Overall Rating: 78 points."
Wang Fugui walked out of the testing chamber with undisguised elation on his face; the score had exceeded his expectations.
"Brother Fan! I'm 78! Hahaha!"
"good."
Chen Yifan nodded.
"drop--"
"Candidate: Lin Xiaoyu. Level: Lv.25. Occupation: E-rank Herbalist. Talent: A-rank [Absolute Plant Affinity]. Overall Rating: 82 points."
Lin Xiaoyu's face was pale, and she clenched her fists, but the light in her eyes was brighter than ever before.
Her A-level talent significantly mitigated her weaknesses in her profession, proving her worth.
"drop--"
"Candidate: Su Qingxue. Level: Lv.24. Class: Frost Mage. Talent: S-rank [Throne of Ice and Snow]. Overall rating: 100 points."
Full score!
The appearance of the S-level talent caused a great stir at the scene.
This is the first perfect score of the day, from Jiangcheng's "number one genius".
Su Qingxue.
She stepped out of the testing chamber, her expression calm. Instead of checking her score, she turned her gaze directly to the figure at the end of the line.
Finally, it was Chen Yifan's turn.
that moment.
The breaths of tens of thousands of people in the audience seemed to be held captive by an invisible hand.
In the proctoring center, Zhou Dehai and other big names in the education sector stared intently at the main screen, not daring to even breathe loudly.
All the reporters, all the cameras, everyone who was paying attention to this college entrance examination.
They all wanted to know.
This young man stirred up a storm throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom.
This guy is listed as an "F-level thief" in the registration.
Now, what kind of monster is it exactly?
Chen Yifan entered the testing chamber.
The pure white hatch slowly closed.
The cold mechanical probes pressed against his skin, and gentle scanning energy began to flow into his body.
coming!
