Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Guaranteed Advancement to Higher Education

A while later, the principal walked in with two teachers, smiling at Xiao Yi and said,

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but your essay was so shockingly unconventional that our teachers, lacking expertise, couldn’t provide a reasonable assessment. Therefore, we went out to consult with a wise master, and now we have finally reached a conclusion."

"So, how many points did I get?" asked Xiao Yi.

"Your ’essay,’ consisting merely of two characters, captivated me with its recursive contemplation, as though encapsulating the entire universe! It’s like rivers and seas—boundless and majestic—yet upon return, still just two simple words. Its intrinsic rhyme resonates as if ’three thousand characters written in small seal script cannot compare to the region south of the Yellow River,’ endless in charm!

It’s like the deity of examination gracing one with a glance, shadowing the brilliance of all other stars! Who in the world could condense the essence of all being into mere words, reminiscent of the brooding depth of landscape poetry and paintings, akin to the monumental couplets that instruct the world?

The simple words ’essay’ are indeed the ultimate answer to what an essay entails! True beauty revealed! At this point, it has become art!"

Listening to the principal’s words left the two teachers dumbfounded.

Are you freaking serious? It’s just two words, what’s all the fuss about?

Xiao Yi frowned slightly and asked again, "So, how many points did I get?"

"Your essay has shattered our Dragon Country’s longstanding notions, truly unprecedented and unsurpassable! Needless to say, a mere perfect score pales in comparison to your achievement. Hence, I have decided to award your essay 130 points! Adding to your previous scores, your Chinese subject mark now stands at an unprecedented 200 points!!!"

"...200 points?"

"That’s right! You have once again demonstrated your startling intelligence to us! You’ve long surpassed the level of what our school can teach, and therefore, this graduation trophy rightfully belongs to you!"

The principal said and once more thrust the trophy into Xiao Yi’s hands.

"Oh..." Xiao Yi took the trophy again, his expression still somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, one of the men in black opportunistically added, "That’s right, Mr. Xu has also ordered that as a prodigious talent of such calibre, you must not be squandered. Hence, Mr. Xu has decided to grant you entry into Dragon Country’s highest academy—Xiu Kong!"

The other men in black surrounding Xiao Yi cooperatively flashed their professionally feigned smiles that were utterly incongruent with their appearances and clapped their hands in applause, all the while uttering words of congratulations.

"Congratulations."

"Congrats."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

This scene utterly baffled the two teachers, who were completely out of the loop.

Those unaware might have thought it was an award ceremony for some competition.

Xiao Yi, likewise puzzled, scratched his head, "Although I don’t quite understand what’s going on, it seems you want me to go somewhere?"

"That’s correct," nodded the man in black. "The helicopter is already waiting outside, and the plane is prepared as well. At your command, we’ll immediately escort you to your destination!"

"Plane!" Upon hearing about a plane, Xiao Yi’s eyes instantly lit up, "I haven’t been on a plane before! Are you really going to fly?"

After receiving an affirmative answer from the man in black, Xiao Yi hurriedly said, "Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s go!"

The men in black were somewhat speechless; wasn’t it you who wanted to take the test?

But since Xiao Yi had given the nod, they naturally all set out to escort him away.

Relieved to see Xiao Yi finally depart, the two teachers could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"At last, he’s gone..."

"By the way, Principal, just who is he? How does he wield such power?"

"Yeah, I’d like to know, whose dim-witted son from some influential family is he, really?"

Hearing this, the principal stared at them in astonishment, "You... you still haven’t realized who he is?"

"...?" Both were still clueless.

"Ah..." The principal couldn’t help but facepalm, "He’s Xiao Yi! You two idiots!"

"...Huh?" Both were stunned.

"He... he’s really Brother Xiao Yi! I thought he just resembled him, and it couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence that he was here, but it’s actually him!"

"But, I thought he was... Ah?"

Only then did the two teachers realize Xiao Yi was indeed Xiao Yi.

Missing their chance with Xiao Yi, they could only pound the floor in tears of regret.

...

Elsewhere, under the escort of the men in black, Xiao Yi arrived at the helicopter.

This was the first time Xiao Yi had seen a live helicopter, and he couldn’t resist examining it curiously.

What Xiao Yi didn’t know was that at this very moment, his head was in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle.

In the distance, from a hidden house, a dark sniper rifle extended through the curtain gap. The target within the scope was unmistakably Xiao Yi.

A killer from Lighthouse Country, observing the smile that Xiao Yi wore, couldn’t help but smile himself.

"Xiao Yi, the national hero of Dragon Country, such a grand persona. However, no matter how glorious you were in the Analog Horror instance, in reality, your life will still be taken by a bullet!"

As he spoke, the killer’s finger was already on the trigger.

"I’ll clear all obstacles for my motherland—we shall see, Dragon Country man!"

But just as he was about to pull the trigger, the sound of the door being breached startled him!

"Shit...! How did they manage to trace my location?"

Caught off-guard for a split second, that moment cost the killer his opportunity to shoot.

"Argghhhhhhh!"

A jolt of electricity surged through his body; his consciousness rapidly dissipated as his body slumped to the ground, powerless.

A few men entered the room, restrained the killer, took him away for interrogation, and after completing their task, the lead agent activated a device on his helmet to contact Xu Yingguang.

"Mr. Xu, the target has been neutralized."

Back in the Capital, Xu Yingguang sighed with relief and responded,

"Well done, but you can’t let your guard down. Remember, Xiao Yi’s personal safety is the top priority; you must ensure his protection at all costs!"

"Yes! But in just the short time since Xiao Yi’s Return, we’ve already apprehended seven assassins. The intensity of their assault was beyond our expectations."

"That only further underscores Xiao Yi’s importance. In any case, you may utilize whatever personnel, equipment, and resources you need; I’ll handle the rest. Remember! Make sure it’s clean, leaving not a single trace behind."

"Yes!"

After the communication ended, Xu Yingguang let out a sigh.

"Well, it’s time to face those old bastards from Lighthouse Country."

Xu Yingguang pushed open a door and entered a conference room.

In the room was a massive display occupying the entire wall, which showed a gathering of Lighthouse Country dignitaries.

The moment they saw Xu Yingguang appear, they immediately clamored,

"Mr. Xu of Dragon Country, regarding the disappearance of several kind-hearted citizens of our Lighthouse Country within your borders, you must provide us with an explanation!"
