Two Rounds in First Place!?

After a brief moment of shock, the students and faculty present couldn't help but start discussing it amongst themselves.

Although the Zudian Campus has had a student who ranked first before, after all, everyone eats dumplings during the Lunar New Year.

But to be honest, the frequency is indeed not high.

Excellent students with high overall quality are recruited to the top-ranked campuses early on, and the Zudian Campus can only pick the best among the worst.

This often results in a situation where a student doesn't achieve first place even once throughout an entire academic year.

"Really? You're really good at hiding your abilities."

"Which class is this Lu Bai in?"

"It seems like they mentioned Class 05B, but none of them made it into Class A."

Some of those who knew Lu Bai, or were his classmates, found it even more unbelievable and absurd.

In their minds, Lu Bai was still the guy who was beaten but dared not fight back and was submissive.

Lu Bai? First?

Can these two really be paired together?

At this moment, Lu Bai was surrounded by people.

The students and faculty around him kept talking, showering him with praise and compliments.

A student who gets first place in the first three rounds is a truly outstanding prospect.

It costs almost nothing to just say a few words, and you might even make this promising stock remember you.

"Everyone."

Chen Li walked towards Lu Bai, followed by several counselors.

The director held the highest position among everyone present, and at least the crowd around Lu Bai quieted down.

Chen Li glanced at everyone and forced a smile, "The rankings haven't been confirmed yet, so we can't publicize them too much, but our campus did well in this round of intense competition. I hope everyone can keep it up."

After exchanging a few polite words, Chen Li patted Lu Bai's shoulder forcefully.

With a forced smile, he said, "Heh, you're not bad, kid. You've even learned to lie."

It's true.

Lu Bai still wore an innocent smile.

However, although it was the truth, from Chen Li's perspective, it was simply being stubborn and refusing to admit defeat.

Stopping Liang Fuzhong from speaking, Chen Li countered with a question.

"Alright, then tell me, what was your ranking in the first round of Deathmatch Showdown?"

"Also number one."

"Pfft~" Chen Li was genuinely amused by this.

Even if we take a step back and assume that someone in the ability group has a really good chance, it's not entirely impossible for them to get first place.

But how could they win first place in two consecutive rounds?

Upon hearing Lu Bai's answer, everyone around initially thought they had misheard.

Swish, swish, swish...

Everyone turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Lu Bai.

The expressions ranged from mocking and amused to barely suppressed laughter.

There was no surprise or envy.

Don't you even think before you lie?

What does it mean to be number one in two consecutive rounds?

Not to mention their Zudian Campus, even looking at the entire history of the No. 9 Underground City, there are very few students who have achieved such results in the first three rounds.

There's a limit to how much nonsense we can do.

Chen Li felt somewhat bored and had already concluded that Lu Bai was just trying to attract attention.

He turned and looked around, then said in a serious tone, "The school hopes everyone can achieve good grades, but we also understand the difficulty of Deathmatch Showdown. The school can accept that everyone's grades are not good, but we will never allow such an absurd lie to happen!"

"Yes."

"How long has it been since a student lied about their information?"

"Old Liang, you're doing a really good job mentoring this student..."

"Tsk tsk, we still need to pay attention to the students' character."

Several counselors present promptly followed Chen Li's lead and began to kick him while he was down.

Chen Li turned to look at Lu Bai again. "Lu Bai, I think you are no longer suitable to stay on our campus."

"Should we discourage them from leaving?" Lu Bai asked to confirm.

Chen Li replied, "You can understand it that way."

It's worth mentioning that even in such an awkward situation, Lu Bai remained calm and composed, his smile only growing brighter.

"87****1062, 87****0023".

He calmly read out two strings of numbers, adding, "These are my Deathmatch Arena numbers for the two rounds."

The staff member standing nearby, being in charge of their duties, immediately recorded the two Deathmatch Arena numbers and checked them, even though they didn't really believe such a thing was possible.

After each round of Deathmatch Showdown, the information obtained from these inquiries will be entered into the deathmatch database.

Verification and inferences regarding all aspects of the Deathmatch Showdown require such a comprehensive database.

Therefore, as long as you have the Deathmatch Arena number, it's quite easy to find information on the top ten players in that Deathmatch Arena.

"In that case, can I leave now?"

"Please go ahead."

Chen Li waved his hand, not even bothering to look at Lu Bai again.

Liang Fuzhong watched Lu Bai's departing figure and sighed inwardly.

He truly hadn't expected Lu Bai to act like he'd taken the wrong medicine, creating such a huge scandal. As her counselor, he couldn't even find an opportunity to smooth things over.

"Old Liang, if something like this happens again, you can quit being a counselor."

Chen Li coldly uttered these words to Liang Fuzhong before preparing to return to the podium.

"Director Chen."

Before Chen Li could take more than a few steps, he was stopped by a faculty member holding a tablet computer.

The faculty member looked incredulous and stammered as he reported.

"The database shows that the winner of those two Deathmatch Showdown... seems to be named Lu Bai?"

Chen Li suddenly turned his head, his face flushed an unnatural red.

"What did you say your name was, Lü?!"

"Director Chen, please come with me."

The vice principal waved to Chen Li.

They then led him away from the Multi-purpose Venue and rushed to the principal's office.

"Go inside, the principal is waiting for you. I still need to clean up this mess for you."

The vice principal was robust and did not look like someone in their fifties or sixties at all; he walked with a powerful stride.

Just standing next to him, you can feel a sense of oppression.

Chen Li chuckled awkwardly, "Principal Guan, isn't Counselor Liang trying to calm Lu Bai down?"

"That's far from enough. To deal with a genius like Lü, we need to show the school's sincerity. The principal will probably bring you over to apologize to Lü later, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

Vice Principal Guan glanced at Chen Li, his usual amiable demeanor replaced by a stern tone. "Alright, hurry up and go inside, don't keep the principal waiting too long."

Let's move back a little bit in time.

Lu Bai walked out of the Multi-purpose Venue alone.

Because the data entry inside was not yet finished, only a few scattered students who had finished entering their data could be seen outside the venue.

Instead of waiting at the door, he quietly left with the flow of people.

Walking across the wide road, you can see a large crowd gathered at the school gate, including anxious students' families and many media outlets that have come to investigate.

Of course, none of this concerns Lu Bai.

His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on a brother and sister, before he strode over.
