Wang Lingxi's Purpose in Coming to Jiangcheng, the Day of the College Entrance Exam
"Principal, is Ye Nan strong?"
After Ye Nan left, his homeroom teacher, Mao Qiang, asked Wang Mingguo in a daze.
"Yes, very strong."
Wang Mingguo answered without a moment's thought.
The college entrance exam was the day after tomorrow anyway, so he saw no need to keep it under wraps.
Hearing the principal's unequivocal answer, Mao Qiang was stunned again.
Ye Nan was his student, yet he knew nothing about him?
"Then, Principal, just how strong is Ye Nan?"
After a few seconds of thought, Mao Qiang asked Wang Mingguo again.
"I don't know the specifics either. We'll find out during the college entrance exam."
Wang Mingguo spoke.
Seeing Wang Mingguo say that, Mao Qiang asked no more.
He merely looked forward to the college entrance exam the day after tomorrow.
His student was actually qualified to attend the Southeast Province's Genius Training Camp. Who could have imagined it without seeing it with their own eyes?
Not long after Ye Nan left the principal's office, he saw Wang Lingxi.
"Ye Nan."
After Wang Lingxi saw Ye Nan, he took the initiative to greet him.
Last time, Ye Nan had refined a Wu Qing Pill for him. Although she had spent five million Dragon Coins on it, she thought it was well worth the price.
She knew that, with Ye Nan's talent for alchemy, he would surely stand among the very best in Dragon Country in the future.
If five million Dragon Coins could win Ye Nan over, nothing could be better.
Though she knew that such a thought was a little too naive.
Ye Nan checked Wang Lingxi's combat power, and she discovered that it was already approaching 30,000.
Such a cultivation speed was truly a little frightening.
How much combat power had Wang Lingxi had when he checked it in the West Town Catacombs last time?
"Wang Lingxi, the college entrance exam is the day after tomorrow. You should be able to get a good score, right?"
Ye Nan smiled at Wang Lingxi as he spoke.
"More or less."
Wang Lingxi nodded in reply. "After the college entrance exam, I'll probably attend the Southeast Province's Genius Training Camp."
Ye Nan wasn't surprised to hear Wang Lingxi say that.
With Wang Lingxi's combat power, it would be easy for her to attend the Southeast Province's Genius Training Camp if she wanted to.
"Wang Lingxi, can I ask you a question?"
"What question?"
Wang Lingxi's fair cheeks showed a trace of surprise when she heard him.
"When I was drunk, I pinned you against the wall. It was an accident, but why didn't you dodge?"
Ye Nan was puzzled by this.
By rights,
with Wang Lingxi's strength, it would have been effortless for her to dodge when he pinned her against the wall.
Yet, strangely, Wang Lingxi had done nothing and simply let him pin her against the wall.
Could it be that Wang Lingxi had liked him all along?
Even if he was quite good-looking, surely that wasn't enough, was it?
Wang Lingxi hadn't expected that to be Ye Nan's question. A faint blush appeared on her fair face.
"Actually, I don't know why either. I did think about dodging at the time, but I don't know why I didn't."
Wang Lingxi spoke softly.
Hearing Wang Lingxi's words, Ye Nan felt a little creeped out.
Was Wang Lingxi obsessed with looks too?
That didn't seem right, did it?
As he remembered it, Wang Lingxi had always been the school's aloof campus belle, the kind who kept people a thousand miles away.
But ever since he had pinned her against the wall while drunk, she seemed to have started taking the initiative to greet him.
The most outrageous part was that it wasn't even his imagination.
"Ye Nan, it's just a shame your martial arts talent is too poor. Otherwise, you really might have been the person I'm looking for."
A few seconds later, Wang Lingxi sighed.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ye Nan was a little taken aback by her words.
Clearly, he didn't know what Wang Lingxi meant.
"Actually, I didn't come to Jiangcheng to experience life. I came to find someone."
"A powerhouse will appear in Jiangcheng, and he's also my future husband, so..."
At that point, Wang Lingxi said no more.
"Ye Nan, I have something to do, so I'll be going."
Perhaps Wang Lingxi realized she had said too much. After saying this to Ye Nan, she hurried away.
"Uh..."
Ye Nan stared at Wang Lingxi's retreating back, and she was somewhat dumbfounded.
The husband Wang Lingxi had mentioned couldn't be him, could it?
However he looked at it, it seemed to fit him perfectly, didn't it?
In a lousy place like Jiangcheng, who besides him, with his system, could become a powerhouse?
Most outrageous of all, he would become Wang Lingxi's husband?
Oh, come on.
This...
Ye Nan shook his head and decided not to dwell on it.
If he died, his balls would point at the sky; if he lived, his balls could celebrate the new year.
He would take it one step at a time.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, the day after tomorrow arrived.
Jiangcheng Middle School was bustling with activity today.
Jiangcheng Middle School was this lively during the college entrance exam every year.
Powerhouses from Jiangcheng entered the school one after another, having come to watch the college entrance exam.
After receiving the school's tacit permission, the Ye Family also arrived and took seats in the viewing area.
The Wu Family and the higher-ups of the Alchemist Alliance also came to Jiangcheng Middle School.
Most of them had come to Jiangcheng Middle School to watch Ye Nan take the college entrance exam.
They all wanted to know what level of attainment Ye Nan had in martial arts, apart from his astonishing alchemy talent.
Several combat power testing machines had already been set up in Jiangcheng Middle School's plaza.
The first part of the college entrance exam was the combat power test.
The students about to take the college entrance exam had each been given a number.
For example, when numbers one through ten were called, the students with those numbers would have to go up and have their combat power tested.
Ye Nan looked at his number and found that he was last. He would have to wait a while.
"I hope my emotions don't fluctuate today, so I can get a good combat power result."
"Yeah, I sincerely hope so too."
"I just hope I can get into even the lowest-tier martial arts university. My martial arts talent really is too poor, after all."
"Same here. Compared with those geniuses, I really don't measure up."
Among the students waiting for the exam in the plaza, some were happy and others were worried.
If they couldn't get into even the worst martial arts university, the road ahead of them would be dark.
"Principal, the city lord is here."
Suddenly, a teacher said a few words in Principal Wang Mingguo's ear.
Hearing the teacher's words, Wang Mingguo immediately took the school's teachers to welcome him.
Before long, the city lord entered Jiangcheng Middle School's plaza.
The city lord of Jiangcheng was named Sun Wu, and his strength was at the Junior Great Grandmaster level.
A Junior Great Grandmaster stood above all rivals in a place like Jiangcheng, a crane among chickens.
The students in the plaza watched City Lord Sun Wu stride forward like a dragon and a tiger, their eyes filled with deep admiration.
Seeing this, the martial artists of Jiangcheng in the viewing area immediately stood up as well.
If the city lord arrived and they remained seated in the viewing area without stirring, that would have been a little too disrespectful.
