Chapter 52
Even though the Tian Lu Academy examinations were split into different batches and the examinations proceeded in their own separated zones, they would normally announce the top three scholars.
This was a reward to the outstanding students to some extent; it would also motivate the other students at the same time.
It was not surprising for Si Ting to emerge as the top scholar for the Xuan Master examination. However, how did Chu Liuyue emerge as second place?
The initial noisy mountain immediately fell into deadly silence.
Chu Xianmin froze, and chills ran down her spine. She seemed to lose control of her own body. Her mind was completely blank, except for that one sentence that kept ringing in her head, which almost made her brain explode.
Chu Liuyue! Second place in the Xuan Master examination! How is that possible? How is that even possible?
Xuan Masters were very demanding when it came to natural talent. Even she was not lucky enough to become a Xuan Master, let alone that invalid Chu Liuyue.
Very quickly, the crowd broke into heated debates.
“Chu Liuyue in second place? Are they mistaken?”
“This is impossible, no matter how you think of it. Didn’t they say that Chu Liuyue was an invalid and that she lacked in a Yuan meridian?”
Chu Xianmin nodded and took a deep breath.
She could only turn the tables around if she was the top scholar for the warrior examination.
…
In another area behind the mountains, the 451st batch of students was having their examinations.
Rong Jin stood there and checked his sword.
A few youngsters behind him were filled with enthusiasm.
“Your Highness, it seems like you’re bound to be the top scholar for the warrior examination.”
“Your Highness should be the strongest in the entire academy, right?”
Rong Jin laughed lightly and looked into the distance. “This doesn’t count for much…”
Peng!
Another firework exploded in the air.
Rong Jin took a look at it and squinted his eyes slightly.
A young man beside him laughed. “Just now, Si Ting already emerged as first place in the Xuan Master examination. It seems like the top scholar for the warrior examination has also emerged.”
Another young man turned his eyes and laughed sheepishly. “Yeah! I think the top scholar for the warrior examination should be Chu Xianmin, right?”
Rong Jin paused for a while, and his face looked much gentler. “She is quite talented.”
Chu Xianmin’s reputation would recover slightly if she emerged as the top scholar; his face would also be saved.
A deep, thick voice sounded. “Second place of the 453rd Xuan Master examination—Chu Liuyue!”
Rong Jin’s smile froze on his face.
