"There's a new person at the top of the list, it's not Chu Shanhe."
"Oh?" Lin Liren's hand holding the tea paused slightly, and he became a little interested, "Whose boy is he from? He hides it so deeply?"
In his opinion, those who can surpass Chu Shanhe are most likely children of some aristocratic family who have inheritance and hide some special means.
"No." Chen Mingyuan shook his head, "His name is Xu Wuyi, from Honghe No. 1 High School."
"Xu Wuyi?" Lin Liren raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately remembered the origin of this name.
It has only been more than three months since the joint entrance examination. Lin Liren was forced by his family to change his candidate because of the special recruitment quota. Naturally, the memory is still fresh in his mind.
"Is it him?"
He did not specify who it was, but Chen Mingyuan confirmed with a smile, "It's him."
The two seemed to be playing riddles, but they both knew what each other meant.
Chen Mingyuan, as the invigilator of Xu Wuyi, naturally knew about this for a long time, but he still abided by the rules and waited until the list was announced before reminding Lin Liren as a friend.
"I understand, Mingyuan, thank you for reminding me." Lin Liren's tone returned to calmness, and there was no worry in his eyes, but a little more smile, "I already know this matter."
Honghe City, Xu Family.
Father Xu Mother Xu also saw the list. The two of them were so excited that their eyes were red. They held the terminal to confirm repeatedly and couldn't believe their eyes.
They knew that their son had worked very hard in the past six months and had good grades, but they never imagined that Xu Wuyi would suddenly rank first in the province.
Not to mention Dongjiang Province, even if this is the first place for Honghe City, it is a result they have never thought of before!
June 29th, early morning.
The faint morning light dyed the old residential buildings a light golden color.
Xu Wuyi stood at the door of his home, with a half-used travel bag at his feet.
"When we get to Linjiang, be careful in everything, eat well, sleep well, and don't be nervous——" Mother Xu arranged his son's collar over and over again and warned him.
"I know, Mom." Xu Wuyi held her mother's hand, which felt rough and warm, "Don't worry.
Father Xu stood aside and didn't say much. He just patted his son on the shoulder hard and said nothing.
The discussion on the TV rating list has already been abuzz. Although they don't fully understand the weight of "S-class first", they also know that their son is going to a bigger stage.
"I'm leaving." Xu Wuyi picked up his luggage, turned around and went downstairs with firm steps.
The artificial crystal dome shines through the dazzling morning light, and the Honghe City airport terminal is full of people.
Martial arts students wearing various school uniforms crowded the starting area. Xu Wuyi stood in the team of Honghe No. 1 High School. There was only a simple change of clothes and a few energy bars in the backpack, which was as light as a short training trip.
"A-Yi! This way!" Zhou Heng squeezed through the crowd, followed by more than a dozen students from No. 1 Middle School, all with a proud look on their faces.
Although Zhou Heng was not qualified to go to Linjiang, he knew that Xu Wuyi was going there today and came here to see him off.
Xu Wuyi looked at these excited faces and couldn't help but smile. He reached out and patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder.
With the arrival of Xu Wuyi, the originally noisy surroundings instantly became a lot quieter. Many eyes fell on him, with curiosity, envy, awe, and exploration—it was complicated and difficult to describe.
The announcement sounded the boarding prompt.
Principal Zhang Qiming and two teachers Wang Wenhai and Zhou Yun stood in front of the team. Principal Zhang's voice was steady and powerful, overcoming the noise around him. "Students, keep order and prepare to board the plane. Remember, you represent Honghe! Come out in your best condition!"
Xu Wuyi picked up his backpack and followed the team into the hatch.
The aircraft engine made a low roar, and outside the window, the familiar Honghe City quickly shrank in the field of vision, eventually turning into a blurry mark on the vast land below.
Xu Wuyi As soon as I got the room card, I heard a familiar voice.
"Xu Wuyi!"
He turned around and saw that United High School's team had just arrived.
Yu Peiling stood at the front of the team, waving to him with a bright smile on his round face.
"Hey, the first place in the rating battle is finally here, it's quite a scene!"
Her greeting immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Not only were there people looking askance at United High School, including Zhao Ding, Su Yueling and others, they all looked at Yu Peiling in surprise, and then at Xu Wuyi.
They didn't know that these two people actually looked so familiar. Logically speaking, they had nothing in common.
Xu Wuyi nodded towards her, a little helpless, but he could only welcome the gazes from around him calmly.
Yu Peiling didn't care, smiled, and lowered his voice. "Now you have become the target of public criticism. I'm afraid it will be the same when you enter university in the future. How do you feel?"
"I feel nothing." Xu Wuyi looked calm, "Just hit it."
At this time, another loud and loud voice rang out.
"Xu Wuyi!"
Xu Wuyi looked around and saw Li Mo and his sister Li Shuang standing not far away.
Li Mo still has that somewhat honest look, but the look in his eyes is different from that of Three-School Joint Examination, with a bit more dignity and recognition.
His sister Li Shuang looked at Xu Wuyi curiously, her eyes sharp, as if she wanted to see what was so special about him.
"Li Mo." Xu Wuyi responded.
"Congratulations, the first place in the rating." Li Mo's voice was still loud and he said with a smile, "I don't want to meet you in the battle test, and I don't want to be abused."
Ever since Xu Wuyi was defeated by Xu Wuyi last time in Ranked Battle, Li Mo didn't want to fight him again.
Li Mo has never been a person who likes to challenge the strong, but is a bit lazy.
On the other side, Su Yueling stood a little further away, his cold eyes fell on Xu Wuyi, and he nodded gently as a greeting.
Xu Wuyi also nodded.
The issue of the special quota for the joint entrance examination made it somewhat awkward for the two of them to meet again, at least that's what Su Yueling thought, so they just said hello from a distance.
Xu Wuyi I don't have that many ideas.
Principal Zhang had already revealed the inside story to him, and his quota was taken away, mainly because of the Lin Family's attitude.
At most Grandmaster Ren didn't refuse, but he had no relationship with him and had no obligation to help him.
As for Su Yueling----she has the least say in this matter, and her attitude may not even be as important as Xu Wuyi.
Apart from them, there are also many students from Honghe who cast their eyes on Xu Wuyi.
Those who have played against Xu Wuyi, or know him, are mostly expressing blessings at this moment.
No matter how they compete internally, when facing the stage of the whole province, they are from the same place, and the strongest one comes from Honghe City, which is more or less an honor for them.
This movement attracted more attention.
Candidates from other cities around, such as Yingang, Ning'an, Qingyuan and other places, also set their sights on Xu Wuyi.
Low-pitched discussions continued, "Is that Xu Wuyi? Honghe, the S-class number one?"
"It doesn't look like anything special--can it really beat Chu Shanhe?"
"Looks very prestigious."
"Honghe is really a dragon this year?"
"There are dark horses every year, and only through actual combat can you see the real results."
At the same time that Xu Wuyi arrived at Linjiang, a group of people immediately took action, and people had already made arrangements near the hotel where they would stay.
After seeing Xu Wuyi, they spread out with the news, which was clearly from different forces.
One of the teams quickly entered the villa area where Chu Family was located.
