Chapter 17: The Champion and the Clown

"Clap clap clap clap!!"

The old principal personally led the applause, and the school teachers followed suit.

Immediately afterwards, all the students below hurriedly followed suit and applauded.

Although many people are still sad about their scores, at this moment, they also feel a sense of pride.

Because this year's top scholar is a genuine top scholar.

In today's era, because spiritual practice is encouraged, the federal government has laws that stipulate that even if one gets full marks in the cultural subjects, he or she cannot be considered the top scorer.

Only those who have completed the process of strengthening their foundation and ranked first in the total score in their city can be considered the top scorer.

In other words, if there are two high schools in a city, even if both top-ranked students in the school have completed the preparatory process, only the one with the highest score will be chosen.

And now, Liang Xiao is fully qualified.

On both sides of the stage, some reporters who had arrived earlier hurriedly pointed their cameras at Liang Xiao and took pictures frantically.

"Everyone, look, this is my deskmate. Haha, I, Wu Jun, always ask him for advice, so I also got 620 points..."

Wu Jun was so excited that he clapped his hands vigorously while urging Liang Xiao: "Hurry up, our Changlin City hasn't had a top scholar in three years, you have to be awesome!"

"This is my classmate..."

Others in the class also hurried to take advantage of the situation: "I also asked him for advice..."

"Me too, my name is..."

Others followed suit, but Liang Xiao actually didn't even know their names, because they were usually Tan Weifeng's followers.

But he didn't act like a bad guy. These people had never offended him anyway. He greeted them with a smile and walked towards the stage.

As for Tan Weifeng, who was once the most popular, he has now been completely ignored.

Even some of his former younger brothers were rushing to take advantage of Liang Xiao's popularity and left him aside.

After all, many people are just a few points away from passing the score line. What if they can get a little attention at this time and attract the attention of those admissions teachers who may have already arrived?
At this time, Tan Weifeng, the second place, could not give them any attention, so Liang Xiao became their target.

Liang Xiao came onto the stage amid the applause of teachers and students throughout the school.

To be honest, it was the first time in his past and present lives that he went on stage to receive an award under the attention of the public, and he was quite excited.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. After traveling through time, he relied on the knowledge accumulated in his previous life and his own unyielding spirit to get to where he is today.

Outside the school gate, Liang Wen used a telescope to see Liang Xiao walking onto the stage, and was so excited that he burst into tears: "My Liang family has finally made it!"

"Did my brother go up on stage to receive his award? I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

Xiao Liangyuan was also excited, but also full of regret.

It’s such a pity that I couldn’t see the turning point of my own destiny!

At the same time, Captain Huang was also outside the school watching Liang Xiao go on stage to receive the award.

Seeing Liang Xiao become the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination, he felt mixed emotions.

The joy is naturally that Liang Xiao has done well, but the worry is that every year's top scorer in the college entrance examination is in a "high-risk position" and is very likely to be targeted by the Changsheng Cult.

"I hope this guy won't be so high-profile," he thought to himself.

……

"Hello, classmate Liang Xiao."

The old principal shook hands with Liang Xiao personally, and then took an envelope from the teacher next to him.

"I am the first top scorer in the college entrance examination in Changlin City in the past three years. According to the regulations, the school will award a scholarship of 100,000 federal coins."

He personally handed the envelope to Liang Xiao, and said happily: "Does Liang Xiao have anything to say to everyone?"

Reporters near the stage quickly perked up and prepared to record this historic moment.

Liang Xiao took the envelope, smiled and said to the microphone: "Thank you to the school for giving me this opportunity, and thank you to the mayor and the federation. I have finished what I want to say, thank you principal."

All reporters: “???”

"..."

The old principal was speechless, but still clapped happily.

"Clap clap clap clap!!"

The teachers around also applauded, and the students below also applauded excitedly. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten their scores and felt proud.

At this moment, the second place winner, who was only one point behind Liang Xiao, was standing alone in the crowd.

Looking at Liang Xiao, who was the center of everyone's attention on the stage, Tan Weifeng felt like a clown.

"Damn it! Damn it! This honor should have belonged to me!"

Tan Weifeng's face was twisted with jealousy, and his teeth were about to break. "Why don't you just be a good loser? Why do you want to snatch this honor from me? You... Damn it! ! "

……

"Student Liang Xiao, I hope you remember that, as you said, it was the school that gave you this opportunity, and it was also the mayor and the Federation that gave you this opportunity. Work hard to cultivate and make more contributions to Changlin City and the Federation!"

The old principal said one last thing, and then announced: "Well, congratulations to Liang Xiao, and also congratulations to all the students present. You have graduated!"

"You can start filling out your application form since the college entrance examination results are released. You can fill it out on the campus network. I wish you all a bright future! Dismissed!"

After saying that, he greeted Liang Xiao again before turning around and leaving.

"Liang Xiao, you are really going to be rich now! Your speech just now was so cool!"

Wu Jun rushed onto the stage and excitedly wanted to hug Liang Xiao's neck, but when he thought that Liang Xiao was already a cultivator, he quickly stopped his rude behavior.

"Student Liang Xiao, do you want to come to Huanyun University?"

Suddenly, an admissions teacher came over and said enthusiastically, "If you come to Huanyun University, I can make the decision. You can get a scholarship of one million federal coins upon admission..."

"My Tianheng University is closer to Changlin City. Liang Xiao, come to Tianheng University..."

Other admissions teachers also hurried over.

However, Liang Xiao remained unmoved, and his eyes kept searching among the crowd.

Unfortunately, no admissions teacher showed up at the True Dragon Academy, the school he wanted to apply for the most.

That’s right, Zhenlong Academy is one of the two top academies in the entire Chinese region. Perhaps it doesn’t even need to go out to snatch students, as a large number of geniuses will rush in.

In this case, there is no way to fight for treatment.

But it doesn’t matter. If you want to become a strong person, simple admission treatment is not enough.

So he turned away all the admissions teachers who surrounded him and took out his cell phone to log into the campus network.

Sure enough, there was an additional option "Fill in application form" on the campus network.

After he clicked in, he looked through both the [True Dragon Academy] and the [Daluo Academy].

The introduction to the True Dragon Academy was very detailed, and the treatment was similar to what he had known before.

However, there is basically no introduction to Daluo Academy, and it is still so mysterious.

Liang Xiao was speechless. In order to avoid being eliminated, he finally stuck to his original idea and chose [True Dragon Academy].

With his college entrance examination scores and the honor of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he fully meets the admission requirements of the True Dragon Academy.

In the distance, Tan Weifeng walked out of the campus with a gloomy face. Because he was in a bad mood, he did not rush to fill in his application form.

Anyway, you have three days to fill out the application form, so you can take your time to think about it.

"Grandpa, is my brother out yet?"

"It's almost there, it should be soon, I saw Ah Xiao..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came into my ears.

Tan Weifeng turned his head and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Because he had already investigated Liang Xiao's information, he naturally knew Liang Xiao's family.

But thinking of federal law, he held back.

A cultivator cannot attack mortals, especially since he is not yet a Glorious Citizen.

Resisting the urge to kill two mortals, he turned and left.

However, at this moment, the little boy asked again loudly: "Did my brother really become the top scorer in the college entrance examination? That's great. Will our family be able to move into a wealthy area soon?"

"Of course, your brother has really made it. He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination..." the old man said excitedly.

In an instant, Tan Weifeng, who wanted to turn around and leave, suddenly became furious. The intense jealousy and anger almost made him lose his mind, and he slapped him directly in the air.

……

“Ah…Grandpa!!”

A familiar voice reached my ears.

Liang Xiao, who was talking to Wu Jun, suddenly changed his expression: "A Yuan?"

He turned around hurriedly and happened to see his grandfather and younger brother flying backwards at the school gate. He also saw Tan Weifeng attacking his grandfather and younger brother.

"Tan Weifeng, you are looking for death!!"

His face changed drastically, and his murderous intent boiled over. He pushed the person in front of him away and rushed out, while snapping his fingers suddenly.

　Thanks to 08a for the tip.
