Chen Mobai, 345 points

After squeezing through the system for ages, Chen Xinglan, who was finally back, burst out laughing when he finally found out his score.

"Son, with your score, you'll definitely get into Ten Great Academies."

"May our ancestors bless us, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow to offer incense to you."

Tang Pancui was so happy she almost cried. Neither the Chen Family nor her Tang family ancestors had ever been admitted to the Ten Great Academies. Chen Mobai's score was a great honor for his ancestors.

Back in her hometown, she can finally hold her head high and be proud of herself.

"What a pity, it would have been great if it had been 5 more points."

In fact, Chen Mobai originally estimated his score to be around 330 points, but the last big question in the Array Exam Paper just happened to be right in his mouth, which gave him an extra 15 points.

However, people are never satisfied. After passing the Cutoff Score for admission to the Ten Great Academies, he began to be greedy and wondered if the Four Great Dao Academies would also expand their enrollment this year and lower their Cutoff Score.

"That's enough, son. Do you have any plans on which academy you want to attend?"

Holding the printed report card, Chen Xinglan walked around happily and then started asking Chen Mobai about his college application plans.

"Pure Yang Academy or Supreme Origin Academy, these two have no requirements for Spiritual Root aptitude, and they also have the inheritance of the Primordial Spirit Technique."

"What ambition! He's truly my son."

After hearing this, Chen Xinglan patted Chen Mobai on the shoulder with a smile.

"However, these two academies have the most applicants every year, so the cut-off Cutoff Score might be relatively high."

That evening, after learning of Chen Mobai's high score of 345, his uncle's family came over to celebrate and stayed for dinner. Unfortunately, Chen Baolan was at a crucial stage of excavation at an archaeological site in another city and couldn't make it, so she could only offer her congratulations via video call.

"Don't worry, my son's score is almost at the level of the Four Great Dao Academies. Even if the Supreme Origin Academy and Pure Yang Academy Cutoff Score, they will definitely admit him."

Chen Xinglan also checked the admission Cutoff Score of these two academies in previous years, which were basically below 340. This year, they are going to expand enrollment, so Chen Mobai's score can be said to be a sure thing.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Wang Xinying looked at him with adoration, and even the usually calm Chen Mobai couldn't help but feel happy under his sister's gaze.

That night, he did not use the "Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique" to resolve the various emotions that rose from his heart. Amidst the proud faces of his parents, the praise of his uncle and aunt, and the longing of his sister, Chen Mobai felt a feeling called "great satisfaction" for the first time in his life.

When he woke up the next day, he found that his Spiritual Sense had increased by nearly half.

In his original vision, the seedling that had just sprouted had sprouted another bud, and it was gradually becoming almost as big as the Green Wutong Sapling he had been growing in the Water Mansion.

He tested himself according to the description of the "Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique" and felt that his Spiritual Sense was almost at the level of the Qi Cultivation Level 8 Refining. When the seedling of visualization blooms its first flower, it will represent the completion of his Spiritual Sense in Qi Cultivation Perfection.

If the flower bears fruit, then it signifies a breakthrough in Spiritual Sense Qi Refining cultivation.

After washing up, he sent a message to Qing Nü, arranging to meet in the afternoon, and then went to the school.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he realized something was wrong.

Why is everyone in the class looking at him? The boys are full of admiration, while the girls are all looking at him with disgust.

Could it be that the aftermath of what happened with Qing Nü is still lingering? But that shouldn't be the case, he explained it so clearly.

"Old Chen, how have I usually treated you?"

As soon as he sat down, Lu Hongsheng ran to the water dispenser to pour him a glass of water, and then looked at him with great admiration.

"Just say what you have to say?"

Chen Mobai took the water and drank it, knowing that his deskmate could never keep a secret.

"How could you be two-timing me!"

"Puff!"

Chen Mobai couldn't hold back and spat out all the water he had just put in his mouth. Seeing that the back of the beautiful Yu Shu's clothes at the table in front of him was about to be soaked, he saw the results of his practice of magic skills in Cloud Dream Marsh. He used Water Control Technique with one hand to draw the water droplets back into the cup.

"That was a brilliant move."

The students at the next table saw this and couldn't help but widen their eyes and clap their hands in approval.

"What's going on? Who's slandering my reputation!"

Chen Mobai, however, turned red with anger and shouted at Lu Hongsheng.

"You left early at the farewell dinner that day, and Yan Bingxuan followed you. We didn't even realize it at first."

"But when Gong Xiangyu led his classmates downstairs, he casually mentioned to Qing Nü that he saw you and Yan Bingxuan leaving together upstairs. Wasn't that just sowing discord? You have no idea what the expressions on everyone's faces were like back then—it was quite a sight!"

"But don't worry, your girlfriend with the Heaven Spirit Root looks alright. She's not suicidal or anything, just has a furrowed brow. She hasn't given you any trouble these past few days, has she?"

After hearing this, Chen Mobai became even angrier.

"Nonsense! I've already said that Qing Nü and I are just friends, and Yan Bingxuan and I are just pure classmates. How could you possibly think that I'm two-timing you?"

At this moment, even the Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique could not suppress the violently turbulent emotions 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 baffled. Chen Mobai clenched his fists, and it took him a long time to finally regain his composure.

Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?

"I wanted to ask you to confirm this, but I haven't been able to get through to you on the phone these past few days."

Yes, for the past twenty days, Chen Mobai has been honing his skills in Cloud Dream Marsh, and Lu Hongsheng's cell phone signal indeed cannot reach there.

"Sigh, I wonder if Yan Bingxuan knows about this. I'll apologize to her later."

As Chen Mobai muttered to himself, the two beauties at the table in front of him turned around and looked him over again with the same eyes they would give a scumbag, even though he was usually quite handsome.

"I heard that the class monitor called Yan Bingxuan after he found out about it that night."

Pu Jiangxue spoke, and Chen Mobai immediately looked at her.

Yan Bingxuan said, "It seems that this reputation has still been affected."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai put his hand to his forehead.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just stayed at the bubble tea shop across the street, and Dang Dang and honest.

"Old Chen..."

Many boys in the class gathered around. Chen Mobai, who usually went unnoticed, suddenly became a master in everyone's eyes.

Song Zheng sat in his seat, his gaze fixed on Chen Mobai, but his eyes were only on the incredible "Water Control Technique" Chen Mobai had just displayed. Others only saw the beauty of the move, but he saw something much deeper.

Impressive! Knock knock knock! Just then, the homeroom teacher knocked on the door, and the boys who had been surrounding Chen Mobai returned to their seats.

After Chai Deyun walked in, he looked at Chen Mobai. Just when the latter thought that he was going to speak up because of these rumors, he showed a gratified smile and clapped his hands.

"Chen Mobai, congratulations! You scored 345 points on the College Entrance Exam, Top of the School!"
