Chapter 93: The True City's Top?
Chapter 93: The True City's Top?
"Two city-wide top scorers in a single subject?" Principal Tan Zhenlong was utterly shocked.
As the principal, Tan Zhenlong was diligent and had a thorough understanding of his school's situation.
While Guanshan District's First High School was decent, it was only considered a first-rate high school within Jiang City, not among the top-tier ones.
Previously, he had set the goal for the teachers to maintain the school's position as the best in the district.
"Haha, it seems Principal Tan isn't quite familiar with his own school's capabilities." Director Wang chuckled, "Let me keep you in suspense. You'll see for yourself when the results are out."
"Additionally..."
"This year's Guanshan District middle schools..." Director Wang brought up other work-related matters.
Principal Tan could only patiently communicate with him.
Finally, the video call ended.
"Two top scorers in a single subject? Who?" Principal Tan sat on the sofa, his eyes filled with confusion, "Li Yuan? His martial arts skills should indeed be perfect. Hmm, I estimate he's on par with Wu Dongdong from the Affiliated Middle School of the Martial Arts Institute, both scoring full marks, making them the city's top scorers."
"And the other one?"
"Could it be in the cultural subjects? That's unlikely. In the January assessment, no one from our school made it to the top thirty in the city's overall ranking." Principal Tan was quite perplexed.
Without the summary of results, Principal Tan couldn't guess.
Could there be a dark horse? There's usually one every year, but for a dark horse to top the city in a single subject is extremely rare.
Half an hour later...
Principal Tan finally received a notification from his assistant, and the Education Bureau had sent over the summary of results.
He immediately opened the results table.
"This?" Principal Tan's pupils narrowed, looking at the name at the top of the list, "Physical Fitness, Comprehensive Assessment, 500 points? How is that possible?"
Whoosh! Suddenly, Principal Tan had an idea and spoke up, "Little Nine, I want to see the school's January assessment martial arts results table."
"Yes, Master."
Soon...
Principal Tan obtained the January assessment results table.
"This?" Principal Tan's eyes widened, looking at the name at the top of the list, "Physical Fitness, 2.1 levels of improvement in four months? How is this possible?"
"What kind of genius is this?"
At the very least, Principal Tan had never seen anything like this.
Suddenly...
"Ding~" The assistant's voice sounded, "Master, incoming call from Teacher Xu."
"Xu Bo? This guy must have seen the results and wants to show off to me. He thinks his judgment in choosing students is impressive," Principal Tan muttered to himself, then instructed, "Little Nine, hang up."
Ten minutes later...
"Dong~ Dong~ Dong~" The principal's office door echoed with knocks.
"Old Tan."
Outside the door, Xu Bo's loud voice boomed, "Open up! I brought a good bottle of wine. It's a day to celebrate!"
Fifteen seconds later...
Bang! The door opened.
Principal Tan eyed Xu Bo warily, noticing his empty hands, "Where's the wine?"
"It's in the bottom shelf of your office bookcase, where else?" Xu Bo chuckled, "Move aside, I told you I'd bring it myself."
Principal Tan glared, "Your dog's nose?"
"My nose is better than a dog's, remember, I used to be an Origin Martial Artist." Xu Bo grinned.
...
April 13th, Monday...
After morning self-study, most students in Class 3-2 were sitting absentmindedly. Everyone knew that today was the day the April assessment results would be released.
Along with the results, the city rankings would be announced, as well as the estimated cut-off scores for the first-tier universities, C9 universities, provincial martial arts colleges, and national martial arts colleges.
With the college entrance exam approaching, it could be said that for most students, the April rankings and college entrance exam rankings wouldn't have significant fluctuations.
"Old Zhou, what's up? Looking worried again?" Li Yuan smiled, "Worried about being turned into Zhou Slapskin by your mom when you get home?"
"Brother Yuan," Zhou Qi glanced at him, helpless, "You already used that joke last time. Can't you find a new one?"
Li Yuan was taken aback, and the people around them laughed.
Soon...
The cultural class teacher, Chen, entered the classroom in his leather jacket, his presence commanding attention.
Over a hundred students subconsciously straightened their backs, including Li Yuan, who was acknowledged as a 'top-tier student.'
It was an unspoken pressure.
After three years, even though Li Yuan had already reached the level of an Initiated Martial Artist, he still felt a bit intimidated by Teacher Chen.
However...
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Teacher Chen didn't start with his usual 'angry criticism.' Instead, he did something out of character, "The April assessment went well for everyone."
"It's evident that from the January assessment until now, everyone has put in a lot of effort. You've all been very diligent."
"A few classmates didn't perform as expected, but don't worry. Adjust your mindset, it's just an assessment. As long as you perform normally in the college entrance exam, you'll all have good results."
No criticism, no blame.
His words were mostly encouraging, and the class breathed a collective sigh of relief.
However, many students also subconsciously felt that something was amiss.
They all instinctively looked at the high school entrance exam countdown on the blackboard at the front of the classroom, feeling a bit dazed.
After the April assessment, the college entrance exam was indeed approaching.
High school was truly coming to an end.
...
"Now, I'll announce the results."
Teacher Chen's voice became gentler, "Following the usual practice, I'll start with the cultural subjects. Li Shuting, 921 points, top of the grade, also the best in Guanshan District, and 24th in Jiang City." Teacher Chen smiled, "An excellent score."
"Zhou Qi, 898 points, a significant improvement." Teacher Chen smiled, "Now in the top twenty of the grade."
Many classmates couldn't help but look at Zhou Qi, feeling a bit envious.
The April assessment was relatively easy, so scores generally increased, but for Zhou Qi to improve by several dozen ranks and even break into the top twenty was extraordinary.
"Impressive," Li Yuan smiled.
"Brother Yuan, this is because I cultivated using an advanced cultivation method," Zhou Qi whispered, "My physical fitness has reached over 5 levels."
"
"An increase in physical fitness, I've been doing practice exams every day, and I feel like my mind is clearer now."
Li Yuan nodded in agreement.
The body is the foundation of all.
Without a strong body, everything else is pointless.
Zhou Qi's physical abilities were average, but his academic performance was exceptional, indicating a high level of intelligence.
After cultivating an advanced cultivation method, his physical fitness improved, and his academic performance soared—a common occurrence.
This is also why, even in the college entrance exam, a martial arts score still accounts for 30% of the total score, even for cultural universities.
As far as Li Yuan knows, many brilliant scientists in human civilization are martial artists, even Origin Martial Artists.
'Li Yuan, 841 points.' Chen Teacher announced Li Yuan's name, pausing for a moment, and then smiled, 'Li Yuan, your academic score is almost enough to meet the C9 standard.'
The class erupted in exclamations, and all eyes turned to Li Yuan.
841 points?
This academic score might not be surprising on its own, but for a martial arts student, it was outrageous.
Many classmates vaguely recalled that in their second year, Li Yuan's academic score was only around 600 points.
'Bro Li, you've improved by over a hundred points?' Zhou Qi stared at Li Yuan in awe, as if he were a monster, 'How do you study?'
'I didn't improve by a hundred points.' Li Yuan shook his head calmly.
After a two-second pause, Li Yuan continued, 'Zhou Qi, I scored 742 points last time, and now it's 841. I only improved by 99 points.' He spoke earnestly, 'I suspect the scoring AI didn't want me to show off, so they deducted a point.'
Li Yuan sighed deeply, seemingly filled with regret.
Zhou Qi and the surrounding students couldn't help but think the same—they wanted to beat up the show-off.
...
After announcing the academic scores, Chen Teacher took out another score sheet and looked at it for a long time.
Suddenly—
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, wondering if today would be another round of scolding.
'Martial Arts scores.' Chen Teacher finally spoke, emphasizing each word, 'Li Yuan, first place.'
Then, there was another long silence.
Everyone was stunned. They expected Li Yuan to be first, but did his score fall short?
'Could there be a mistake?' Li Yuan began to doubt himself.
The martial arts scores were personally tested, so he was confident there was no error.
'900 points!' Chen Teacher suddenly smiled and announced loudly.
The entire classroom fell silent for three seconds.
And then—it erupted.
'Did I hear that right?'
'900 points? Full marks in martial arts?'
'Damn!'
'900 points, Li Yuan?' The entire class went crazy.
900 points meant Li Yuan had achieved full marks in both physical fitness and martial arts skills.
Even Li Yuan was a bit shocked.
He couldn't help but glance at his Divine Palace Panel, where his Life Level was displayed as 9.9.
'Could it be that my skills, combined with my burst of power and speed beyond my normal Life Level, led to this full mark assessment?' Li Yuan wondered silently.
'900 points?'
Zhou Qi, standing nearby, was stunned. Then, he quickly reacted, 'Bro Li, your total score must be 984 points?'
The academic score of 841 points, when converted, equaled 841 points.
Adding the martial arts score of 900 points, indeed resulted in a total of 984 points!
'984 points in raw score?'
'984?'
'It seems like it!' The classmates were even more incredulous.
Not to mention this was the raw score; even with spiritual awakening bonus points, such a score was incredibly impressive.
'Ahem~'
'Ahem~' Chen Teacher coughed twice from the podium.
The students in the classroom managed to calm down.
'You're right about Li Yuan's raw martial arts score being 984 points, but it's not the total score.' Chen Teacher explained, 'Don't forget, although Li Yuan hasn't awakened his martial arts spirit, he earned the Youth Hero title, which gives him a 20-point bonus.'
'So!'
'This time, Li Yuan's total martial arts score is 1004 points! First in the grade and first in the Guanshan District!'
'28th in Jiang City!'
'Additionally, Li Yuan is one of only two students in Jiang City to achieve full marks in martial arts during the April Assessment.'
'In a sense, Li Yuan is the true number one martial artist in the April Assessment, surpassing even Wu Dongdong from the Affiliated High School of the Martial Arts Academy.'
Chen Teacher spoke without pause, her face beaming with joy.
It was clear that Li Yuan's performance in the assessment truly made her very happy and excited.
...
The announcement of the April Assessment results was like a bomb exploding in the first high school of Guanshan District, causing an uproar in the entire senior grade and even the whole school.
Almost every class's teacher used Li Yuan as an example to motivate their students.
No spiritual awakening bonus points? No prominent family background?
Li Yuan's journey was remarkable—from the upper-middle ranks in his first year, to the top 100 in his second year, and finally, the top 10 and the terrifying full marks in martial arts in his third year.
This was a legendary tale in the history of the first high school of Guanshan District.
...
At 10 AM that morning, at the Starfire Guanshan Branch.
'1004 points?'
Wan Qinghe and Xu Bo's communication was interrupted by the news of Li Yuan's exam results. Initially, they didn't grasp the full meaning.
But soon, they understood.
'Full marks in martial arts!'
'Physical fitness of at least 10.0?' Wan Qinghe was shocked, 'In less than a month, Li Yuan's physical fitness improved by 1.1 levels?'
'A monster!'
