Chapter 186: A brilliant student?
The 24th day of the first lunar month, the eve of school starting.

Early that morning, a buzzing sound disturbed Lu Ran who was practicing hard.

“Uh-huh~~~”

Lu Ran stretched fiercely, stood up, walked to the bedside table and picked up his cell phone.

The caller ID made Lu Ran stunned for a moment.

He picked up the phone and asked, "Teacher Li?"

The head teacher's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lu Ran, are you in Rain Alley City?"

"here I am."

"Well, school starts tomorrow."

"I know." Lu Ran thought for a moment and added, "I won't be late."

Li Yanzhu couldn't help but smile: "What's your current strength level?"

Lu Ran answered truthfully: "The first section of the river."

"Great!" Li Yanzhu exclaimed, "According to the practice of previous years, when the second semester of senior year begins, the school will count the students who have advanced to the River Realm.

A school-wide competition will be held on the first day of school.

All River Realm students who have learned the Water Flow Armor can sign up to participate."

"Oh, that's it." Lu Ran understood.

As early as a few months ago, when Lu Ran's team was having cold drinks, several people had discussed this matter.

At that time, Chang Ying was still fantasizing that only Lu Ran would be promoted to the River Realm, and then win the prize without fighting.

"You meet the requirements. Do you want to sign up?" Li Yanzhu asked.

"Report!" Lu Ran agreed straightforwardly, and then asked, "Teacher Li, how many people in our school have advanced to the River Realm?"

"Not much." Li Yanzhu did not hide it and said, "But compared with previous years, it is a lot."

"Oh?" Lu Ran was quite surprised.

Li Yanzhu sighed softly: "The growth rate of your class of students is generally high, which is indeed good."

Lu Ran: “.”

Has my head teacher been possessed by another spirit?

Aren’t we the worst class of students you’ve ever taught?

this! No! Can! able!
Li Yanzhu: "Including you, there are probably 4 to 6 River Realm students."

"Oh, that's quite a lot indeed." Lu Ran nodded.

He vaguely remembered that in the previous class, when the second semester of senior year started, there were only three students from the River Realm.

Li Yanzhu continued: "The number of students at the fourth and fifth stages of Xijing is also much higher than in previous years."

Lu Ran was a little curious, what caused this phenomenon?
Is it because of the high-pressure living environment in Yuxiang City that students are on high alert and grow faster?

Or is there some other reason?
Li Yanzhu urged: "Whether it is training or fighting, you must work hard and never slack off!
Your opponents are chasing you!

Every fifteenth day of the month, the evil spirits that invade the world become stronger and stronger, so you must guard against arrogance and impatience."

You have to be the class teacher.

Once you start talking, you can’t stop!

Lu Ran responded repeatedly, and took the opportunity to interrupt: "Teacher, teacher~
What are the prizes for this school competition?"

Li Yanzhu: “.”

Lu Ran: “.”

The head teacher was obviously choked. After several seconds, she said unhappily:

"The first prize is a river-grade divine power bead and 30 believer points."

"Got it!" Lu Ran's mind became active.

Now, he wears two magical beads around his neck, and both are river quality.

But as long as you have more of these treasures that can guarantee battery life, it’s never too much!

Lu Ran's level continued to improve, and the quality of his techniques also increased.

What’s more important is that his casting frequency is extremely high!
Just for the Immortal Hoof, Lu Ran kept making noises on the battlefield.
It can be predicted that after each battle, the total amount of divine power he consumed is particularly astonishing.

Of course, the reason why Lu Ran could cast spells so wildly was due to the two river-grade divine power beads.

Lu Ran clenched his fists, his heart filled with fighting spirit!

The reward for first place in the school competition must be won!

As a result,
I can be more unbridled in "squeaking"
"By the way, congratulations on your good results in the final exam." When Li Yanzhu mentioned points, she thought of the final exam of last semester.

"Oh?" Lu Ran suddenly perked up, "How many points did I get?"

However, Li Yanzhu just mentioned it casually. Since she was choked, she didn't plan to say more and said directly:
"You'll see for yourself tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

"Tsk~" Lu Ran seemed to have been infected by Xiao Yuanxi, at least the pronunciation was very similar.

Lu Ran put down his phone, returned to the shrine, and sat cross-legged again.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and resumed his previous hard training mode.

In the past few days after returning home, Lu Ran really wanted to improve his strength.

However, since being promoted to the River Realm, Lu Ran could clearly feel that the path of cultivation was becoming increasingly difficult!
Lu Ran was promoted to the First Level of the River Realm on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month last year.

Now, a month and a half has passed, and he hasn't even found the bottleneck to break through.

Well, I have to work harder.

The next day, early in the morning.

Lu Ran prepared food for the little tabby cat, changed the cat litter, and walked out of the house carrying the garbage.

Today is March 3st in the Gregorian calendar. Although the sky is still overcast, the temperature has warmed up a lot.

It has a sense of ice and snow melting and all things reviving.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere of Rain Alley City is not among those that have been revived.

As Lu Ran walked along the way, except for meeting a few people at the steamed bun shop, the streets were deserted.

It was not until Lu Ran arrived at the street where the school was located that he felt the street became a little more lively.

"Lu Ran!"

Suddenly, a familiar female voice was heard from behind.

Lu Ran turned his head and saw a tall dark-skinned girl catching up with him. "Ha!" Chang Ying put a hand on Lu Ran's shoulder, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year." Lu Ran looked strange, looking up at the girl, "Have you grown taller again?"

"Hey~" Chang Ying waved her hand, "It's New Year's Day, don't say those depressing words!"

Lu Ran: “.”

First of all, the first month of the year is almost over!

Secondly, is this considered discouraging talk?

Chang Ying's face suddenly moved closer, and her big eyes stared at Lu Ran's eyes.

The girl's beautiful and wild face was so close to him that Lu Ran looked a little unnatural.

He tilted his head back: "What are you doing?"

Chang Ying asked seriously, "Is it true that as people become stronger, the distance between them will become greater and greater?"

Such words, coming from the heartless Chang Ying's mouth, actually make people feel a little sad.

Lu Ran held the two swords wrapped in cloth in his arms and used the handles to push her face away:

"What do you mean?"

"It feels like I haven't heard from you for a long time." Chang Ying shrugged.

Lu Ran: "Didn't I celebrate the New Year in the group?
Did you also grab the red envelopes? "

"Huh?" Chang Ying was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment, "That's right!"

Lu Ran glanced at the girl and continued walking forward.

Chang Ying caught up and whispered, “Except for the New Year’s Day, you had no news and didn’t talk at all.

I always feel like you are becoming more and more unfamiliar and distant. "

"Don't think too much. We haven't seen each other for just a month and a half." Lu Ran raised his two swords and knocked on Chang Ying's head through the cloth.

"Okay~" Chang Ying pursed her lips and rubbed her head.

Lu Ran walked away: "I saw you said in the group chat that you have reached the fifth level of the Stream Realm?"

"Hey? How come you didn't celebrate after seeing this?"

"I'm waiting for you to advance to the River Realm, so I can congratulate you together!"

"you"

The two of them arrived at the school gate arguing and making a lot of noise.

Lu Ran had already seen the big notices posted on both sides of the school gate. There were many students and parents gathered there, and many of them were taking photos with their mobile phones.

The two came to the back of the crowd. Chang Ying leaned on Lu Ran's shoulder with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and peeked around.

The next moment, her mouth opened into an O shape: "Wow!"

Lu Ran: "What's wrong?"

"First, we are first!" Chang Ying lowered her voice but could not hide her excitement, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

"Here." After taking the photo, she handed the phone to Lu Ran.

There are big black characters on the big red board.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuxiang No. 1 Middle School held the final exam for the first semester of senior year. The team performance list is as follows:

“First place, team number 98!

The team members are Tian Tian from Class 4 (4), Lu Ran from Class 4 (4), Deng Yutang from Class (), and Chang Ying from Class ().

The overall score of the task is 92.7 points. ”

When Lu Ran was looking at the results, he also heard the crowd's discussion:

"No way? Isn't there a special event on the 15th of the twelfth lunar month? Everyone should get full marks?"

"You kid, this time the score is based on a 100-point system. You want to take all the 100 points, right?"

"The gambler is so lucky, she managed to sneak into Ran Ge's team!"

"That's right! This is really worth it. Even if Lady Jiang comes back and kicks Chang Ying out of the team, she will have no regrets."

Chang Ying had a smile on her face, but when she heard this, her expression suddenly froze.

"Damn! Lu Ran's team got over 90 points! How did they do that? Did they save the world?"

"Yeah, the second place only got 76 points, this..."

"Because after the ghosts' night parade, Lu Ran's team didn't even enter the shelter."

"what?"

"You what? It's just a straw demon. I want to kill enemies outside too!"

"Just say it with your mouth. If Moon Watcher really lets you go, do you dare to go out?"

"What do you mean? Say it again?"

Lu Ran ignored the chaotic crowd and pushed Chang Ying to the other side of the school gate.

But as he was walking, he noticed something was wrong with Chang Ying: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Chang Ying was unhappy and took the phone from Lu Ran.

"You did so well in the exam, but you're still not satisfied?" Lu Ran was very curious.

The crowd was noisy, with many people talking at the same time, so of course he couldn't hear everything.

"Satisfied, satisfied." Chang Ying responded perfunctorily, and came to the back of the crowd on the right side of the school gate, standing on tiptoe to look around.

As the individual ranking list came into view, Chang Ying's eyes suddenly widened:
"What the hell?!"

Lu Ran looked strange: "How come after the New Year, you have learned to swear?"

Chang Ying looked at Lu Ran with astonishment on her face: "You...you..."

Lu Ran asked in confusion: "What's wrong with me?"

After two full seconds, Chang Ying finally said, "Your score is wrong!"

"Ah?" Lu Ran was also a little confused. "It came out?"

Chang Ying nodded stupidly: "Yes, it just overflowed, you bombed the test!"

Lu Ran: “.”

Ask for some monthly passes.
