After a brief moment of shock, the students and faculty present began buzzing with discussion.
It wasn't as if Zudian Campus had never had a student rank first. After all, everyone got to enjoy a good meal at New Year's.
But to be honest, it didn't happen very often.
Outstanding students with strong overall abilities were recruited early by the higher-ranked campuses. Zudian Campus usually had to pick the best from the worst.

By now, Lu Bai had been surrounded by a crowd.
