Fortunately, Lan Shengxue arrived in time to stop it.
" Xiao Yu, stop fooling around. The exam is about to start. Don't disturb Jiang Fan's exam."
"Oh." Lan Xinyu pouted and reluctantly let go of Jiang Fan's hand.
Liao Shaohui also came over and looked Jiang Fan up and down with his wrinkled eyes.
" Shengxue, who is this student?"
Before Lan Shengxue could answer, Lan Xinyu answered first.
"Grandpa, he's Jiang Brother Fan who saved me last time."
Upon hearing this, Liao Shaohui looked at Jiang Fan with gratitude in his eyes.
"Oh, it's you. I'm so sorry, I should have thanked you in person a long time ago, but I've been bedridden and only recently was I able to get out of bed and walk around."
"You're too kind. I was only trying to save my sister. As for your granddaughter, it was a lucky accident," Jiang Fan said.
Upon hearing this, Liao Shaohui looked at Jiang Fan with more appreciation.
As Lan Shengxue's classmate, Jiang Fan didn't know her exact background, but he did know that she was of prominent status.
For a high school senior to be so humble without flaunting his achievements is truly rare. No wonder his usually proud granddaughter Lan Xinyu, treats him with special regard.
Let alone his youngest grandson, even after living most of his life, he could vaguely see how different his eldest granddaughter was towards this Jiang Fan than ordinary people.
Just then, the bell rang to announce the martial arts exam, and everyone's eyes turned to the exam hall.
"Dad, Mom, Guoguo, I'm going inside now. You wait for my good news," Jiang Fan said to the Tang Family.
"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, just do your best. It's okay if you don't do well, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Tang Fugui kept instructing him.
Wang Shuqin glared at him, annoyed. "What are you saying? Pah! Pah! You jinx!"
"Yes, yes, I really don't know how to talk," Tang Fugui chuckled sheepishly.
Tang Guo clenched her fist at Jiang Fan and encouraged him, " Brother Fan, you can do it! I believe in you, you can definitely do it!"
"Yes, you're right."
After saying that, Jiang Fan turned and walked towards the examination hall.
"Hmm?" Zhou Xiaoyan looked at Jiang Fan's departing figure and uttered a questioning sound.
Yang Xiaoqiang: "What's wrong?"
"Boss, have you noticed that this person's back view looks a lot like Tang Fan?"
In a flash, everyone in the studio turned to look at Jiang Fan.
Wang Jiangang scratched his head and examined it closely. "You know what, it really does look a bit like it."
Then, changing the subject, "It's just a resemblance; it can't be Tang Fan. Tang Fan is 22 years old. At that age, he could only be a school staff member, definitely not a student. Besides, Tang Fan is a master archer. If he were just a high school student with such superb archery skills, he would have been famous throughout Fortress No. 31 long ago."
Yang Xiaoqiang nodded, agreeing with Wang Jiangang's words.
"To become a crack archer who hits the bullseye every time and can shoot two arrows at once, even while just preparing for the college entrance exam in his senior year of high school, is beyond famous throughout Fortress No. 31. He'd probably have been poached by Fortress No. 1 long ago."
"Alright, everyone, let's stop discussing these trivial matters. The martial arts exam is about to begin. Let's maintain order and do our jobs."
Wang Jiangang and Zhou Xiaoyan returned to their respective posts, and standing close together, they began whispering to each other again.
"Strange? We've been here since early this morning, but we haven't seen Tang Fan at all."
"Yes, I was looking for him just now."
At this moment, Miao Xi interjected.
"Hey you two, has either of you ever seen Tang Fan's real face? He always hides it so well in front of us. I guarantee that if he walked past us now, you wouldn't even recognize him."
"That's true," Wang Jiangang said sheepishly.
Zhou Xiaoyan just realized what had happened. "Look at me, making such a fool of myself! I was searching for Tang Fan in the crowd, but I don't even know what he looks like! What the hell was I looking for?!"
Ten minutes later, the martial arts exam officially began.
The test was very simple: everyone had their Qi and blood tested three times in a row, and the highest value was recorded.
Once the final values are determined, they will be displayed on the central screen and ranked in real time.
The parents waiting outside were all staring at the central screen, hoping for their children's results while also worrying that their children might not perform well.
"Next. Number 18." The examiner's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Here I am." Wei Qi took a deep breath nervously, took the admission ticket, walked in, and handed it to the examiner.
The three examiners verified each other's identities to prevent cheating incidents such as someone taking the exam on behalf of another person.
"Alright, your identity is fine. Go ahead and begin the exam."
"Okay, okay." Wei Qi felt his breathing become more and more rapid.
Due to excessive nervousness, the first blood and qi test result was not satisfactory, and was only 125N, which was lower than usual.
Take a deep breath, adjust your breathing rhythm, and forcefully exhale.
129N!
Very good!
That was an exceptional performance; the highest he reached during the tests a couple of days ago was only 128N.
129N, just 1N away from 130N, which would make me Late-Stage Martial Apprentice!
The last one was 127N.
The highest score out of three attempts was 129N.
Almost immediately, Wei Qi's score was displayed on the large screen outside the examination room.
2nd place, Wei Qi, 129 HP, Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice).
Currently, only 18 students have taken the test, Wei Qi is temporarily in second place. However, as more and more students take the test, his ranking will gradually decline.
"Not bad, not bad."
After seeing Wei Qi's grades, Lu Yi, the homeroom teacher of Class 8, nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, a strange, unpleasant voice came from beside me.
"129N, wow! Not bad, Wei Qi has improved a lot, only 1N away from becoming Late-Stage Martial Apprentice. But even so, Lu Yi, you only have this one student you can be proud of."
The person who said this was none other than Qi Huai, the homeroom teacher of the class next door.
Lu Yi looked at him coldly, "Is this the only student you can be proud of? Qi Huai, have you lost your memory? Don't forget, there's also Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan is now also Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice."
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's name, Qi Huai's expression turned slightly unpleasant.
This kid has made him lose face several times.
"That's right, Jiang Fan is indeed at the Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice, but he's probably only barely reached the threshold. Who knows how much Qi and Blood he has? He might not even be able to get into a martial arts school."
" Qi Huai! As a teacher, how could you curse your students to fail to get into martial arts school? You are not fit to be a teacher!"
Lu Yi was genuinely angry, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.
Qi Huai completely dismissed it, "How am I unfit to be a teacher? I'm just stating facts, not cursing my students. Don't be so rude."
"You--"
"Alright, enough of that. We're colleagues, and I also hope Jiang Fan from your class can get into a martial arts school, but even if he does, it won't matter. Don't forget your assessment task: each homeroom teacher must train three students to get into a martial arts university every five years. Including Jiang Fan and Wei Qi, that's only two. Unless you can train one student to get into one of the top five elite martial arts schools within five years, but how is that possible?"
