Chapter 69: Not Only the City Top Scholar, but Also the Provincial Top Scholar

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Not Only the City Top Scholar, but Also the Provincial Top Scholar

"Of course; I owe it to you that my own results were also very good, 2nd place in Yun City and 5th in the whole Jiangnan Province."

"Thanks to you! If not for your help, my results might not have been so good."

Tang Rou’s words were filled with sincerity.

In fact, with her abilities, even without Ye Xuan acting as a bug, she would have no problem getting good results by finding a few strong opponents to compete against in the Awakener’s college entrance exam.

Even if she teamed up with average teammates, or with the three hidden classes Wang Yifan, Zhang Tianming, and Zhao Wushuang, she might be the main player in such a team.

There are countless examples of a support character saving the day when the team faces a crisis.

Zhang Ning, the strongest Priest in Huaxia Country, is a respected figure by everyone in the country.

She has always led an army of Awakeners, fighting on the front lines; and her army is one that any Awakener in Huaxia would wish to join.

Her army is known as the Immortal Legion; it is said no matter the battle, nobody in her army dies.

Once, her subordinates were surrounded by an enemy force tens of times larger than theirs, yet they withstood the enemies’ frenzy of attacks for ten days and nights without a single casualty, until reinforcements finally arrived.

This person is also an idol in Tang Rou’s heart; she too wishes to become such a person; hence, she has been working hard since she was young.

With her abilities, replacing the so-called Big Three prodigies and taking the 1st place spot is not impossible; it’s just that she used to be low-key and did not like to hype herself up, so nobody thought she would be the first.

After all, the scoring mechanism for instances doesn’t only consider damage output. Supports have a different scoring mechanism.

A support surpassing the main DPS in score is not out of the question.

Although Tang Rou is not a hidden class, she has very strong operational skills, and it’s entirely possible for her to outscore Wang Yifan and the other two.

However, if not for Ye Xuan, her performance within the province might not stand out as much; whether she could rank within the top 50 would also be a question.

But now that Yun City has Ye Xuan, an unreasonable presence; teaming up with him made her a supporting role, unable to become the city’s top scholar, but at the same time, she entered the top 5 in provincial rankings.

"Not at all, who knows, I might have impacted your performance?" Ye Xuan chuckled, "Which academy are you planning to apply to?"

Both of them now qualified for the top three elite academies.

Hence, their choice would be one of the three academies:

Yanjing Academy.

Northwest Academy.

Jiangnan Academy.

Tang Rou did not reply but instead asked, "Which academy do you plan to apply to?"

"I’ll probably apply to Jiangnan Academy?"

Ye Xuan pondered a bit.

His reason for choosing Jiangnan Academy was no other than its proximity.

It’s closer to home, so he could return more promptly if there are matters at home.

But Tang Rou said, "My father wants me to go to Yanjing Academy."

As Tang Rou spoke, her tone grew more somber.

"That’s not a problem! After all, this is an important life decision regarding academies, and in terms of strength, Yanjing Academy is definitely the strongest. Going there, you’ll have the chance to encounter more!"

Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Having Tang Rou, a strong support friend like her, is a good thing for him.

Even if he doesn’t need support right now.

But in the future, if he encounters an enemy that’s too strong, having such a support would be a great help to him.

However, if someone has their own choice, he can’t interfere, right?

"Actually, I also want to apply to the same academy as you."

In Tang Rou’s heart, she wished to become the strongest Priest.

To become the strongest Priest also meant that she’d have to train herself through the most complicated challenges.

After all, theory is just theory!

The most important thing is actual combat.

In Tang Rou’s view, Ye Xuan seems to be the type who likes adventure, and having him as a teammate would mean encountering more formidable opponents.

As for going to Yanjing Academy?

By that time, she won’t know a single person over there.

What’s the fun in that?

But her father’s arrangement has a particularly strong influence on her.

"Don’t say that! If you choose wrong and end up regretting it in the future, that would be my fault."

Ye Xuan shook his head.

"Alright, I’ll head to the school tomorrow. The teachers from the academy will come over personally."

Ye Xuan offered a few words of comfort.

Hefting my hesitations for a while, I ultimately decided to hang up the phone.

Afterwards, Tang Rou kept shaking her head.

Her father wanted her to go to Yanjing Academy, and naturally, he had his considerations;

But she really didn’t want to go there.

Ye Xuan didn’t care that much about it either.

No banquet in the world lasts forever.

If Tang Rou really decided to go to Yanjing, did he have any reason to stop her?

After hanging up the phone, he planned to prepare dinner.

But then the system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the host! For achieving the top scholar of Jiangnan Province in the Awakener high school exam.]

[Host’s exceptional performance, completing the system task beyond expectations, rewards are being distributed!]

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up instantly.

The emotional surge in his heart quickly vanished.

Here it comes!

It finally came.

The rewards from the previous instances and such could only be considered an extra; the real system task rewards were finally here.

Ding!

[Reward One: S-grade Skill Book: Flame Dragon Roar*1]

[Reward Two: Skill Points +200; Free Attribute Points +200]

[Reward Three: S-grade Talent Skill: Reviving Light*1]

[Reward Four: Level 20 Gold-grade Weapon: Blazing Flame Staff*1]

[Reward Five: S-grade Pet Skill: Divine Punishment Fire*1]

[Reward Six: Title Dragon Challenger*1]

[Reward Seven: Material: Heart of Earth Fire (S-grade)*1]

The list of rewards appeared before Ye Xuan.

He was extremely excited in his heart.

Because these rewards!

They were absolutely generous!

They filled him with ecstatic joy.

All the rewards were S-grade.

The system is truly the system.

Such rewards...

Probably not many families throughout Jiangnan Province could offer such rewards.

As for buying them with money, that’s simply not possible.

"The system is freaking awesome!"

Ye Xuan felt as if he was in a dream.

The very day he obtained the system, he received this challenge task.

Back then, he thought that the task was virtually impossible to complete.

After all, becoming the city-level top scholar isn’t easy! Getting to be the top scholar in Yun City, who would’ve thought that not only did he become the top scholar of Yun City, but even the top scholar of Jiangnan Province.

Next up is how to use these rewards.

First are the three S-grade skills.

[Flame Dragon Roar (S): A high-tier area magic skill. When casting the skill, it emits a powerful roar of flames, causing substantial damage to all enemies within range of the skill]
