45 -34: Scores Are Out, Top Student Emerges

Watching Wang Hai’s departing figure, Zhang Yu sighed and said, “Truly a responsible and good teacher.”

Bai Zhenzhen, who was nearby, leaned in suspiciously: “What exactly happened just now?

There was laughing, handshakes, and discussions.”

“Did Wang Hai suddenly discover that you are his long-lost father?”

Zhang Yu shook his head: “There could be many reasons, but fundamentally…it all comes down to my performance in this monthly exam.”

“Azhen, as long as my grades keep improving, my skills keep getting stronger, the number of good friends I have in this world will keep increasing, right?”

Looking at Zhang Yu’s smug appearance, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself: “How many points did Yu Zi actually score this time?”

“Did he surpass me?

That should be impossible…”

That evening, when Zhang Yu returned to the suburban area, he started practicing the Circulation Qi Gathering Method again as before, with his next target being to raise the method to level 10.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning, and Zhang Yu had raised the Circulation Qi Gathering Method to level 8 (37/160).

After a day of passive breathing exercises mixed with active ones, his mana also increased from 11.8 to 11.9.

And thanks to Wang Hai’s sponsorship, Zhang Yu’s savings, even after deducting expenses over the past few days, had suddenly reached over seventy-two thousand.

The moment he saw this amount of savings, Zhang Yu thought of all kinds of spending ways.

But finally, he restrained his various impulses, planning to see what kind of contract the school would arrange for him after this monthly exam, and then figure out how to use this money to enhance himself.

…

Four o’clock in the morning at Songyang High School.

In the teachers’ office.

After yet another sleepless night, Su Haifeng received this month’s exam results.

To allow students to understand themselves, know their scores, and guide their learning as quickly as possible, the teachers worked overtime to calculate the scores and rankings for all students participating in this monthly exam by the exam night.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Su Haifeng looked at the specific rankings and scores.

First place, Bai Zhenzhen, total score 651

Su Haifeng nodded slightly, thinking, “Bai Zhenzhen is still undoubtedly in the first place, but it’s a pity her Daoism is only 60 points; the total score could have been higher.”

Second place, Qian Shen, total score 626 points

Su Haifeng thought, “Qian Shen has been steadily progressing, especially his Daoism 80 points added quite a bit to his score.”

Third place, Zhang Yu, total score 620 points

Su Haifeng was slightly stunned, rubbed his eyes, and looked more carefully.

Third place, Zhang Yu, total score 620 points

“How is this possible?”

Su Haifeng sat up straight and quickly checked Zhang Yu’s scores in each subject.

Comprehensive 48 points, Dao Heart 135 points, Mana 142 points, Physical Education 145 points, Martial Arts 90 points, Daoism 60 points.

“This…”

Su Haifeng was shocked, even with Daoism at 60 points.

If his Daoism were 7 points higher, he could reach 627 points and surpass Qian Shen to become second in the grade.

That means Zhang Yu jumped from tenth in the grade last time to third in the grade instantly.

No…

According to Su Haifeng’s estimation, his scores should have slipped to around twentieth three weeks ago, and over this period, except for Mana, his grades in other subjects should have steadily declined, with his total score dropping to almost thirtieth.

“How could there be such a significant improvement?”

“Won the lottery?”

After looking through each of Zhang Yu’s scores, Su Haifeng became increasingly puzzled, especially at his 142 points in Mana and a whopping 145 points in Physical Education?

He couldn’t resist calling Wang Hai to ask what exactly was going on and if Zhang Yu’s scores were incorrectly recorded.

At four in the morning, it’s the most energetic time for the immortals of Songyang.

Wang Hai quickly picked up the call and asked, “What’s up, Mr.

Su?”

Su Haifeng asked, “I see here that Zhang Yu has 145 in Physical Education?

Is there a mistake…”

Although Wang Hai’s attitude towards Zhang Yu was quite good today, it didn’t mean he became a person with excellent patience.

He was still the Gold Medal Teacher who disliked others questioning his teaching authority.

Upon hearing Su Haifeng’s doubts, he snorted coldly and directly interrupted, “Mr.

Su, are you questioning our physical education level or our professional ethics?”

As the star Physical Education teacher and Gold Medal Promoter of Songyang High School, Wang Hai wasn’t afraid of Su Haifeng at all.

“If you have doubts about the scores, apply for a review.”

“But I can tell you that Zhang Yu’s scores are absolutely correct, it’s 145 points.”

“Because not only has his Physical Strength reached level 1.25, which is among the top in the grade, his overall body structure is also exceptionally excellent.”

“With the solid foundation he has laid, his Physical Strength is bound to increase exponentially in the future, and he will surely be a leading figure among the students of this cohort, it’s not impossible for him to participate in athletic competitions later.”

In sports competitions, just like in Mana competitions, students compete over contents far beyond the high school curriculum.

If one achieves sufficiently outstanding results, not only will they receive a sizable amount of bonuses, but they’ll also have an advantage in university interviews, and could even gain extra scores in college entrance examinations.

And as Songyang High School, which has produced the city’s top sports student, has always had a certain advantage in sports competitions.

Hearing Wang Hai’s high evaluation of Zhang Yu made Su Haifeng even more astonished; he didn’t have time to deal with the unpleasant tone in the other’s words and quickly asked, “Hadn’t he been slacking in Physical Education class for the past three weeks?

How did his scores improve so much?”

Hearing this, Wang Hai blushed slightly and, after a pause, explained: “Zhang Yu is different from ordinary students; he has his own development path and knows how to cultivate.”

Thinking that Zhang Yu, as a Golden Core disciple, didn’t need his guidance, Wang Hai continued, “It’s precisely because I saw this that I let him have his freedom in the Physical Education class.”

“Let alone attend classes by himself, even skipping them in the future is fine.”

“This is teaching according to one’s aptitude.”

After ending the call with Wang Hai, Su Haifeng still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Was the Zhang Yu Wang Hai described the same poor guy?

Frowning and pondering for a moment, Su Haifeng made another call.

“Hello?

The monthly exam results are out, Zhang Yu is third in the grade, his score is…”

After reporting the score, Su Haifeng sighed and said somewhat awkwardly, “I have to admit, my assessment of Zhang Yu was completely wrong.”

“With his performance, the school offering him a Level B, even a Level A contract is quite normal.”

“That’s not within my jurisdiction anymore; I guess in a few days, someone from the student council will talk to him.”

A male voice on the other end of the call said, “I understand.”

“Try to delay the student council for me; I’ll try something else.”

Su Haifeng said, “You know those people from the student council; I can’t delay them, so whatever you’re going to do, do it quickly.”

…

At six-thirty in the morning.

The entrance of Songyang High School was bustling, full of students coming to school.

As Zhang Yu walked through the school gate, he saw the large screen at the entrance updated with the monthly exam results.

Things like student privacy and mental burden…

naturally, these do not exist at our Songyang High School.

Not only are the results prominently displayed on the big screen at the school entrance, but new monthly exam results are also posted on the doors of each class, and the canteen’s electronic screens are continuously showing the ranking changes.

Even when Zhang Yu went to the restroom, he could hear the broadcast announcing this month’s exam, praising those with high scores and significant improvements while mocking those who regressed and scored low.

Our Songyang High School excels in being seamless, without privacy, and maximizing psychological pressure.

“…Students, we also want to congratulate Zhang Yu from the first-year demonstration class.”

“Zhang Yu leaped from his original tenth place in the grade to third this time, with a total score of 620, improving by a whopping 70 points, an achievement akin to a leap of progress…”

After using the restroom, Zhang Yu washed his hands while listening to the broadcast content, nodding silently: “The school’s widespread announcement of students’ scores does have positive aspects, not without merits.”

When Zhang Yu entered the classroom, he received a lot of attention, with people occasionally glancing at him with various emotions in their eyes.

Qian Shen looked at Zhang Yu, then Bai Zhenzhen, the scores of 620 and 651 respectively floating between them, making the surrounding students pale in comparison.

“Indeed, besides Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu would also be my rival in the three years of high school.”

Qian Shen felt that he could already see the scene of the next three years, where the three of them would compete fiercely, engage in intense competition, closely matched, ultimately all getting into top-tier universities.

Fired up!

Impatiently, he took out his talismanic book and began studying talismans again.

“Talismans are my strong subject, but I only got 80 points this time, must keep practicing!”

On the other side, He Dayou looked at each of his scores with a gloomy expression.

“Total score 603.”

“Martial Arts 50 points…”

The 50-point Martial Arts score was so glaringly obvious that it made him feel a rush of blood, almost wanting to smash the desk in front of him to pieces with a punch.

Obviously, his continuous defeats at Zhang Yu’s hands, coupled with being instantly defeated in two rounds, were the reasons for He Dayou’s low Martial Arts score.

This caused a hint of killing intent to unconsciously emerge in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Yu.

Nonetheless, as the son of a board member, he quickly suppressed this impulse.

“Every poor guy is a valuable resource for the school; how can I make a move?”

“Don’t get mad anymore; Zhang Yu should be on the student council’s radar by now, right?”

“We aren’t even competing on the same track; I can’t let him disrupt my focus, better to keep growing myself.”

He Dayou activated his mental method, allowing his emotions to gradually calm down.

He also realized that he and Zhang Yu were not competing on the same path, and he shouldn’t let the other affect his state and scores, just like this time’s 50 in Martial Arts.

“Ultimately, improving one’s strength and wealth is the right path.”

“This time’s Daoism score is 90, although already my strong subject, there’s still room for improvement.”

Thinking of this, He Dayou took out the talismanic book, ignoring the changes around him, and devoted himself to learning.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhenzhen tilted her head towards Zhang Yu, thinking to herself, “Could Yu Zi have been lying low, pretending for four months, only to surprise us?”

“No way, he shouldn’t have that capability.”

“Could it mean Yu Zi is like me and has also unlocked something?”
