Chapter 44

The principals nearby all cast envious glances.

Not only was the top scorer one of Principal Lu Yun's students, but the second place was as well.

It was truly enough to make anyone green with envy.

3rd, Feng Xiu, Points: 6700, Evaluation: Excellent.

4th, Zuo Mei, Points: 6325, Evaluation: Excellent.

5th, Young Guild Master Wang Zihao, Points: 6300, Evaluation: Poor.

Young Guild Master Wang Zihao's face changed drastically; his evaluation was actually "Poor."

With this evaluation, he was completely finished with Xiajing Academy.

Forget Xiajing Academy, even the top 20 higher education institutions in the Shenxia Empire would not accept him.

"Why!"

"On what basis am I given a 'Poor'?!"

"This is unfair! You are being unfair!"

Young Guild Master Wang Zihao finally couldn't help it and roared in anger.

Suddenly, a beam of light fell upon Young Guild Master Wang Zihao, and he vanished instantly.

"Young Guild Master Wang Zihao has violated the exam rules and is expelled!"

Chapter 57: The Empire's Top Scorer, God Bai Visits

A poor evaluation in the trial had already cut off the possibility of Young Guild Master Wang Zihao attending a top-tier academy.

Now that he was expelled, forget top-tier academies, even those ranked in the top 100 would not take him.

Even with family connections or the power of the Dynasty Guild, they couldn't compete with the higher education institutions.

Young Guild Master Wang Zihao's future was easy to imagine.

The best-case scenario would be attending an ordinary academy.

The rankings were announced one by one.

Aside from Lin Moyu and Xia Xue, the overall results of Xihai No.1 Middle School were quite decent.

Gao Yang was ranked 61st, which was considered mid-tier.

The others were slightly lower, but they would still be able to enroll in an academy.

After the results were fully announced, the examiner's voice rang out again.

"Combat Class, this year's Provincial Top Scorer of Jiangning Province: Lin Moyu."

The examiner solemnly announced Lin Moyu as the Provincial Top Scorer of this exam, causing another uproar.

This was followed by thunderous applause.

Everyone was congratulating Lin Moyu.

To become a Provincial Top Scorer was no easy feat.

Furthermore, Lin Moyu had taken first place with a crushing points advantage.

Among the five people who entered the Battle Space together, the combined points of the other four were not as high as his alone.

The advantage was too obvious.

Amidst the applause, the examiner's voice rang out once more.

"An order has come from the Empire: Lin Moyu is the National Top Scorer of this year's exam."

Whoosh!

Principal Lu Yun jumped up again, a burst of flames erupting from the top of his head.

He was so excited that he was literally fuming with joy.

"National… National Top Scorer."

"Moyu is the National Top Scorer…"

"Is this real? I couldn't have heard wrong, could I?"

For a moment, he couldn't even speak clearly; Principal Lu Yun simply couldn't believe his ears.

"Old Lu, are you alright?"

"Don't get too excited, take care of your health."

"It's true, Lin Moyu really is the National Top Scorer."

"You didn't hear wrong. Now, you can brag about this for a lifetime."

"Your No.1 Middle School can even be renamed Top Scorer Middle School now. To produce a National Top Scorer, you've truly found a treasure."

They were all both envious and jealous.

The flames on Principal Lu Yun's head didn't go out for a long time, just like his heart, which was surging with excitement.

Outside the Trial Tower, the applause was like a clap of thunder.

"A National Top Scorer! Our Jiangning Province has produced a National Top Scorer!"

"Heavens, how many years has it been since Jiangning Province had a National Top Scorer?"

"Lin Moyu is too incredible to actually become the National Top Scorer."

Lin Moyu remained indifferent and calm.

When he was named Provincial Top Scorer, he had already realized that the title of National Top Scorer might also fall to him.

As expected.

Xia Xue said in surprise, "You've become the National Top Scorer, why aren't you happy?"

"I am happy," Lin Moyu said flatly.

Xia Xue curled her lip. "You're so 'happy' you don't even know how to smile."

Lin Moyu remained calm. "I smiled—in my heart."

"A dunce is a dunce," Xia Xue huffed. "But still, congratulations, Top Scorer Lin."

Zuo Mei and Feng Xiu approached him together.

"Lin Moyu, congratulations."

Zuo Mei was petite, and her voice was slightly cool.

The temperament she displayed was very much in line with her class.

Feng Xiu reached out his hand. "Thanks for this time. If it weren't for you, we would have been in big trouble."

Zuo Mei also followed with her thanks.

Lin Moyu shook his hand. "It was only right."

Feng Xiu asked, "You'll be applying for Xiajing Academy, right?"

Lin Moyu nodded.

"Good, then I'll see you at Xiajing Academy. I'll treat you to a meal then."

"Mm," Lin Moyu responded flatly.

Lin Moyu was too cold, even colder than Zuo Mei, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Xia Xue quickly laughed and said, "This guy doesn't like to talk. I've been his classmate for three years, and our total words spoken haven't exceeded ten sentences."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "Sixteen sentences."

Pfft…

Both Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Aside from not liking to talk, this guy Lin Moyu seemed quite interesting.

The exam ended, and they were teleported back to the school.

Principal Lu Yun did not return with them.

The exam for the Support classes was still ongoing, and he had to remain there.

Lin Moyu returned home to get some good rest.

He could register for his academy tomorrow.

His goal was Xiajing Academy, and as the National Top Scorer, he was certain to get in.

If even he couldn't get in, then no one else should even think about it.

He silently summoned four Skeleton Warriors and then stored them into his Summoning Space.

The number of Skeleton Warriors in the Summoning Space had already reached 104.

Earlier in the Battle Space, while fighting the Filin Orc Warriors, the Skeleton Warriors had been injured to varying degrees.

In the Summoning Space, their injuries recovered rapidly.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking pulled Lin Moyu out of his meditative state.

The flames on Principal Lu Yun's head had finally gone out.

However, the excitement on his face had not yet faded.

This man, already in his sixties, had never been as excited as he was today.

"Why have you come over?"

It was already late at night.

In the dead of night, for Principal Lu Yun to suddenly come over, something must be happening.

He wasn't the only one who came; there was also someone Lin Moyu didn't recognize.

When Lin Moyu saw this person, his hair stood on end.

The newcomer brought a terrifying aura that made it difficult for him to breathe.

It felt as if he would suffocate in the next second.

Lin Moyu did not sit idly by; his Skeleton Warriors instantly appeared in front of him, shielding him.

"A very good reaction."

He couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but Lin Moyu recognized the voice.

His tense nerves relaxed instantly.

Lin Moyu bowed respectfully to the newcomer. "Greetings, Lord God Bai."

Bai Yiyuan withdrew his aura and revealed himself from the darkness. "How did you know it was me?"

Lin Moyu also withdrew his Skeleton Warriors. "I recognize your voice."

"Hehe."

Bai Yiyuan laughed; he was very satisfied with Lin Moyu's answer.

He had seen Lin Moyu in the playback from the Battle Space.

Now meeting face-to-face, Bai Yiyuan was even more satisfied with him.

Lin Moyu was calm and composed.

The instinctive reaction he just showed earned him full marks in Bai Yiyuan's book.

"Very good, very good."

"I've come this time to talk to you about Xiajing Academy."
