In a lounge on the left side of the square, Wang Haiping sat by the window, occasionally glancing at the Fourth Middle School's team.
Wang Haiping looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock, and he had been standing here for nearly two hours but still had not seen Su Yuan.
"This kid, the trial is over. What is he still doing in there?"
Wang Haiping didn't know the last time he had waited so long for someone.
At this moment, Xiao Yong came into the lounge to get some water. Seeing Wang Haiping, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Director Wang, are you waiting for Su Yuan?"
"Why hasn't he come out yet?"
"He's still in there killing monsters, but he should be out soon."
"Killing monsters?" Wang Haiping looked puzzled. "The trial is over. What monsters are there to kill?"
"No idea. Maybe it's for experience or Star Cores... Oh? He's out. Look over there."
Xiao Yong gestured towards the square.
Sure enough, Su Yuan, carrying a backpack, returned to the square.
Xiao Yong asked, "Should I bring him to see you?"
"No need. I already instructed Yang Jun." Wang Haiping suddenly thought of something. "By the way, how did he do in the trial?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yong paused while holding the kettle.
Looking up at the ceiling, Xiao Yong said in a daze, "Unprecedented..."
…
In the Fourth Middle School's team on the square.
Chen Jiujun looked at Su Yuan with an extremely complex expression.
Jiang Jun, who also knew Su Yuan's strength, sighed.
With the final boss Earth Element Beast killed, Jiang Jun knew it wasn't Chen Jiujun who did it. So it was likely Su Yuan.
"Su Yuan, you're back?"
Yang Jun felt like he was dreaming when he saw Su Yuan, finding it hard to believe.
"Teacher Yang," Su Yuan nodded in response.
Yang Jun came to his senses, walked up, and patted Su Yuan on the shoulder, smiling: "It's good you're back. Come with me for a moment."
"Hmm?" Su Yuan thought briefly and realized he might have attracted some attention. He immediately nodded and followed Yang Jun to a distant lounge.
The students of Fourth Middle School, unaware of what was going on, started discussing:
"What happened to Su Yuan? Why did Teacher Yang call him?"
"Did he violate some rule?"
"But there didn't seem to be any rules to violate in this trial."
"Then I don't know…"
At this moment, several City Guard members brought over the trial results. The scores and rankings of a total of 1,148 students were posted on the bulletin board.
The top 200, top 20, and top 3 were marked with gray, yellow, and red borders respectively.
First place: Su Yuan, 10050 points, Guangchuan Fourth Middle School
Second place: Fang Kun, 6160 points, Guangchuan First Middle School
Third place: Chen Jiujun, 5480 points, Guangchuan Fourth Middle School
Fourth place: Lv Xinghen, 3660 points, Guangchuan First Middle School
…
Seventh place: Jiang Jun, 2840 points, Guangchuan Fourth Middle School
…
"Whoa, 10050 points? Am I seeing this right?"
"My God, what a monster! Who is this Su Yuan?!"
"What's going on? What are you talking about, what monster?"
"First place! Su Yuan, 10050 points, higher than Fang Kun and Chen Jiujun!"
"Damn, really? This must be cheating! How can anyone have over ten thousand points!"
"From Fourth Middle School? Is there anyone from Fourth Middle School who can tell us who Su Yuan is!"
"Wait, wasn't that Earth Element Beast boss killed? A Bronze Level Earth Element Beast is worth 3000 points. Was it Su Yuan who killed it?"
"It should be. But who exactly is Su Yuan?!"
…
As soon as the trial results were posted, the square erupted in chaos!
The reason was simple: Su Yuan, the first place winner.
Everyone had assumed the first place would go to Fang Kun or Chen Jiujun. How did Su Yuan appear out of nowhere?
Not only did he take first place, but he also scored over ten thousand points? Nearly 4000 points more than Fang Kun, the special student in second place!
Is he a Star Apprentice?
Even high-level Bronze experts might not achieve that!
While the entire square echoed with "Who is Su Yuan? Who is Su Yuan?" those who had seen Su Yuan in action, such as Fang Kun and Jiang Jun, were filled with emotion.
Although they had anticipated Su Yuan might take first place in the trial, they never expected he would achieve such an astronomical score!
"10050 points. How many Star Beasts did this guy kill..." Lv Xinghen gasped.
Fang Kun recalled the scene where Su Yuan's gold and fire intertwined arm decapitated the Earth Element Beast. His eyes flashed with intense fighting spirit: "I really want to fight him with real weapons!"
Lv Xinghen curiously asked, "How confident are you?"
Fang Kun pondered briefly: "At most, thirty percent."
…
Chen Jiujun stared at the bulletin board, fixating on Su Yuan and Fang Kun, who ranked above him. His fists clenched tightly, and his heart was in turmoil!
Especially Su Yuan's score, nearly twice his own, made the usually arrogant Chen Jiujun, who had always regarded the geniuses from other big cities, completely unable to accept it!
"High trial rankings don't necessarily mean stronger real strength. If I get the chance, I would definitely like to test myself against you again!"
…
The square was abuzz, everyone questioning who Su Yuan was. Meanwhile, Su Yuan himself had been brought by Yang Jun to Wang Haiping.
Yang Jun reminded: "Su Yuan, this is Director Wang Haiping from the Guangchuan Education Bureau. He said he wants to meet you."
Wang Haiping?
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
He never expected this prominent figure to personally seek him out. He quickly bowed slightly: "Director Wang."
Wang Haiping smiled warmly: "Su Yuan, right? Good!"
Yang Jun said: "Director Wang, I brought him over. You two talk. I'll take my leave."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Yang Jun left, Wang Haiping smiled and indicated for Su Yuan to sit: "Take a seat first."
Su Yuan sat down, thinking about why this big shot wanted to see him.
Su Yuan never imagined that Wang Haiping had been to the Secret Realm Command Center and had seen all of his performances over the past two days and nights.
Wang Haiping smiled: "Su Yuan, I called you over to ask you a few questions."
"Questions?"
Su Yuan quickly recalled if he had exposed the system in the Secret Realm.
Su Yuan knew that the trial had not only drone surveillance but also City Guard members everywhere. He hadn't used the system at all.
As for the displayed skills like Steel Flame Finger and Hardened Iron Armor, Su Yuan wasn't too worried.
Although he had only been here for a year, Su Yuan knew that on the Blue Sea Star, with its extraordinary powers, many geniuses defied the odds. The Great Flame had always nurtured its domestic talents instead of dissecting them.
This was one of the reasons why the Great Flame had so many emerging talents and was becoming increasingly powerful.
His only peculiarity was being extraordinarily fast in cultivating skills, which was comparable to the Director of the Education Bureau, Huangfu Qi. It shouldn't cause much of an issue.
Of course, that was as long as the system's existence wasn't exposed. If that happened, all bets were off.
