[Chen Mobai, 345 points]
After squeezing for a long time, Chen Xinglan finally found out his score and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Son, with this score, you will definitely have no problem entering the top ten academies.”
“Ancestors bless, I will go back to our hometown tomorrow to pay respects to you.”
Tang Pancui couldn’t help but shed tears of joy. Neither the old Chen family nor her Tang family ancestors had ever entered the top ten academies. Chen Mobai’s score was a great honor for their families.
When she returned to her hometown, she could hold her head high.
“It’s a pity, if only I had 5 more points.”
In fact, Chen Mobai originally estimated his score to be around 330 points, but he happened to receive an extra 15 points from the last question.
However, people are never satisfied. After reaching the score line for admission to the top ten academies, he started to think about whether the four major academies would expand their enrollment and lower the score line.
“That’s enough, son. Have you thought about which academy you want to go to?”
Chen Xinglan, holding the printed score sheet, walked around happily and asked about Chen Mobai’s voluntary plan.
“Either Pure Yang Academy or Tai Yuan Academy. These two have no requirements for spiritual root aptitude and have the inheritance of the Great Spiritual Technique.”
“Good ambition, my son.”
After hearing this, Chen Xinglan patted Chen Mobai’s shoulder with joy.
“However, these two academies have the highest number of applicants each year, so the score line might be higher.”
In the evening, after learning about Chen Mobai’s high score of 345, his uncle’s family came to celebrate and stayed for a meal. Unfortunately, Chen Baolan was in another place excavating a crucial relic and couldn’t come. They could only congratulate him through a video call.
“Don’t worry, my son’s score is almost close to the four major academies. Even if the score line for Tai Yuan Academy and Pure Yang Academy is higher, he will definitely be admitted.”
Chen Xinglan also checked the admission score lines of these two academies in previous years, which were mostly above 340. With the expansion of enrollment this year, Chen Mobai’s score was already stable.
“Brother, you’re amazing!”
Wang Xinying looked at Chen Mobai with admiration. Even the usually calm Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel happy under his sister’s gaze.
That night, he didn’t use the “Nurturing Thoughts and Casting Divine Art” to resolve the various emotions that emerged from his heart sea. In the scene where his parents were proud, his uncle and aunt praised him, and his sister looked up to him, Chen Mobai felt a sense of “great satisfaction” for the first time in his life.
The next day, when he woke up, he found that his divine sense had increased by almost half.
Originally, in his visualization, it was just a newly sprouted seedling, but now it had grown another sprout and was gradually becoming similar to the green paulownia seedling he had nurtured in the water mansion.
According to the description of the “Nurturing Thoughts and Casting Divine Art,” he felt that his divine sense was close to the level of Qi Refining Eighth Layer. When this visualization seedling bloomed its first flower, it would represent the completion of Qi Refining in his divine sense.
If the flower bore fruit, it would mean that his divine sense had broken through Qi Refining.
After washing up, he sent a message to Qing Nv, arranging to meet in the afternoon, and then went to school.
When he entered the classroom, he noticed that something was wrong.
Why were all the students in the class looking at him? The boys had faces full of admiration, while the girls had faces of disgust.
Could it be that the aftermath of the incident with Qing Nv hadn’t settled yet? It shouldn’t be. He had explained it so clearly.
“Old Chen, how have I treated you in the past?”
As soon as he sat down, Lu Hongsheng ran to the water dispenser and poured him a glass of water, then looked at him with great admiration.
“Do you have something to say?”
Chen Mobai took the water and drank it, knowing that this desk mate could never hide anything.
“How did you manage to have two girlfriends at the same time!”
“Pfft!”
Chen Mobai couldn’t help it and sprayed all the water he had just drunk out of his mouth. Seeing that the back of the beautiful girl Yu Shu’s clothes in front of him was about to get wet, he used the water manipulation technique he had practiced in the Dream Swamp, controlling the water droplets back into the cup with one hand.
“This move is handsome.”
The classmates at the nearby desk saw this scene and couldn’t help but widen their eyes, applauding.
“What’s going on? Who is slandering my reputation!”
Chen Mobai’s face turned red, and he shouted at Lu Hongsheng.
“That day, you left early after the farewell dinner, and Yan Bingxuan followed you. We didn’t realize it at first.”
“But when Gong Xiangyu led the people from their class downstairs, he pretended to casually mention to Qing Nv that he saw you and Yan Bingxuan leaving together upstairs. Isn’t that sowing discord? At that time, you didn’t know the expressions of everyone in our class and their class. It was quite a spectacle!”
“But don’t worry, your genuine girlfriend with the spiritual root, her expression was fine. She didn’t cause any trouble for you these past two days, right?”
After listening, Chen Mobai became even angrier.
“Nonsense, I’ve already said it. Qing Nv and I are just friends, and my relationship with Yan Bingxuan is purely that of classmates. How could you think that I’m two-timing?”At this moment, even the Nurturing Thoughts God Casting Technique couldn’t suppress the intense emotions surging in Chen Mobai’s heart.
“I understand, but I still want to ask you, how to develop a pure friendship with classmates.”
Lu Hongsheng was completely clueless. Chen Mobai clenched his fists, and after a long while, he finally regained his composure.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I wanted to confirm it with you, but I couldn’t reach you by phone these days.”
That’s right, for the past twenty days, Chen Mobai had been honing himself in Dream Swamp, where Lu Hongsheng’s mobile signal couldn’t reach.
“Sigh, I don’t know if Yan Bingxuan knows about this. I’ll apologize to her later.”
As Chen Mobai murmured to himself, the two beauties at the front desk turned around and looked at him, who was usually handsome, with the same eyes as they would look at a scumbag.
“I heard that the class monitor called Yan Bingxuan after he found out about this that night.”
Pu Jiangxue spoke up, and Chen Mobai immediately looked at her.
“Yan Bingxuan said: It seems that this reputation has indeed affected me.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai held his forehead.
If he had known this, he might as well have stayed in the milk tea shop across the street, openly and honestly.
“Old Chen…”
Many boys in the class gathered around. Chen Mobai, who usually didn’t attract much attention, became a master in their eyes in an instant.
Song Zheng sat in his own seat, his gaze also on Chen Mobai, but in his eyes, there was only the miraculous “Water Control Technique” just now. Others only saw a beautiful move, but he saw much more profound things.
Amazing!
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, the class teacher knocked on the door, and the boys who had been surrounding Chen Mobai returned to their seats.
After Chai Deyun walked in, his gaze also fell on Chen Mobai. Just as the latter thought he was going to speak because of these rumors, he revealed a relieved smile and clapped his hands.
“Chen Mobai, congratulations, you scored 345 points in the college entrance examination, ranking first in the whole school!”
