I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 57 Becoming the Empire's Top Scholar, Big Shots Come Knocking

Li Mingyu never dreamed that simply taking the college entrance examination would result in a negative review, given that his abilities were not bad at all.

A single negative review during the trial directly ruined Li Mingyu's chances of getting into a top university.

Now that he's been expelled, not only will top universities not want him, but even the top 100 universities won't accept him.

Even if you have connections at home, even if you're part of the Dynasty Guild, you can't compete with a prestigious university.

Li Mingyu's future is predictable; the best outcome would be for him to attend an ordinary university.

The rankings were announced one by one. Apart from Jiang Chen and Lu Qingyu, the overall performance of Baiyun No. 1 Middle School was quite good.

Yue Dapeng is ranked 67th, which is considered average.

Others are slightly less capable, but they can still get into higher education institutions.

After the results were announced, the examiner's voice rang out again.

His announcement made everyone present prick up their ears to listen.

"Combat-type profession, this year's Jiangbei Province champion, Jiang Chen."

The examiner solemnly announced that Jiang Chen had become the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination, which once again caused a stir.

Then came thunderous applause, with everyone congratulating Jiang Chen.

Becoming the top scorer in a province is no easy feat, especially since Jiang Chen's points were overwhelmingly dominant in securing first place.

From today onwards, Jiang Chen's name will likely remain forever in the history of the Divine Dragon Empire. His brilliance is so dazzling that it overshadows the brilliance of everyone else.

Of the five people who entered the battle space together, the combined points of the other four were less than his alone, his advantage was too obvious.

Amid applause, the examiner's voice rang out again, as if wishing Jiang Chen to have two happy events today.

"An order has been issued from the Empire that Jiang Chen has become the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination."

Whoosh! Cheng Rushan jumped up again, a ball of fire shooting out of his head. He was so excited that his head was on fire.

Even Jiang Chen himself felt a slight surge of excitement.

"National...National champion."

"Jiang Chen is the top scorer in the country!"

"Really? I can't believe my ears."

For a moment, he couldn't even speak clearly; Cheng Rushan simply couldn't believe his ears. His mouth gaped open in astonishment, his mind reeling from the sudden surge of immense happiness. He had never dreamed that as the principal of Baiyun No. 1 Middle School in Baiyun City, he would finally have such a moment of glory.

"Old Cheng, are you alright?"

"Don't get too excited, take care of yourself."

"It's true, Jiang Chen really is the top scorer in the country."

"You heard me right, this is something you can brag about for the rest of your life."

"Your No. 1 High School can be renamed the Top Scholar High School. You actually produced a national top scorer. You really struck gold."

Principals from other schools nearby came to comfort Cheng Rushan, explaining that he was already quite old to have become a principal, and that he also suffered from hypertension and coronary heart disease...

They were genuinely worried that Cheng Rushan might get too excited and something unexpected might happen, which would be really bad.

They were filled with both envy and jealousy. The flames on Cheng Rushan's head burned brightly for a long time, just like his excited and surging emotions.

Outside the Trial Tower, applause erupted like thunder.

"A national champion! Our Jiangbei province has produced a national champion!"

"My God, how many years has it been since our Jiangbei Province produced a national champion?"

"Jiang Chen is amazing; he actually became the top scorer in the country."

Jiang Chen remained calm and composed. When he won the provincial championship, he realized that he might also become the national champion, and sure enough, he did.

Lu Qingyu asked in surprise, "You've become the top scorer in the country, aren't you happy?"

"I'm happy," Jiang Chen said calmly.

Lu Qingyu pouted, "You don't even know how to smile when you're happy."

Jiang Chen remained calm and said, "I've laughed, but not in my heart."

Lu Qingyu snorted, "But I still want to congratulate you, Scholar Lin."

Han Li and Ye Xiuwen arrived together.

"Jiang Chen, congratulations!"

Han Li is petite and has a slightly cold voice.

The aura she exudes perfectly matches her profession—assassin!

Ye Xiuwen reached out his hand, "Thank you this time. If it weren't for you, we would have been in big trouble."

Han Li also thanked them.

Jiang Chen shook hands with him. "It's my pleasure."

Ye Xiuwen asked, "You're probably going to apply to Shenlong University, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Alright, see you at Shenlong University then, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Hmm," Jiang Chen replied indifferently. Jiang Chen was too cold, even colder than Han Li, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Lu Qingyu quickly laughed and said, "This guy doesn't like to talk. I've been classmates with him for three years, and we haven't exchanged more than 10 words in total."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "19 sentences."

Pfft…

Ye Xiuwen and Han Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Aside from being quiet, Jiang Chen seems quite interesting.

The college entrance exam is over, and I'm being sent back to school.

Cheng Rushan did not return with them.

The college entrance exams for support-type professions are still ongoing, and he will continue to accompany them.

Jiang Chen returned home and got some rest.

Registration will begin tomorrow.

His goal is Shenlong University, and as the top scorer in the country, he's guaranteed admission. If even he can't get in, then no one else can.

Silently summon 4 skeleton warriors and then store them in the summoning space.

The number of skeleton warriors in the summoning queue has reached 104.

Previously, during the battle against the Felin Orc Warriors in the Conquest Space, the Skeleton Warriors were all injured to varying degrees.

Within the summoning space, their injuries healed rapidly.

dong dong dong.

The knocking on the door pulled Jiang Chen back from his meditative state.

......

The flames above Cheng Rushan's head finally went out.

But the excitement on his face had not yet subsided.

This man, who is over 60 years old, has never been as excited as he is today.

"Why did you come here?" It was already late at night.

In the dead of night, Cheng Rushan suddenly came over; he must have something on his mind.

Not only Cheng Rushan arrived, but also someone Jiang Chen didn't recognize.

When Jiang Chen saw this person, his hair stood on end.

The newcomer exuded a terrifying aura, making it difficult for him to breathe.

It felt like I was about to suffocate.

Jiang Chen did not sit idly by and wait for his death. The skeleton warrior instantly appeared in front of him and protected him.

“It’s a great response.”

Jiang Chen couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he recognized their voice.

My tense mind immediately relaxed.

Jiang Chen bowed respectfully to the newcomer, "Greetings, Lord Hong Shen." Hong Jishi withdrew his imposing aura and emerged from the darkness, "How did you know it was me?"

Jiang Chen also put away the skeleton warrior. "I recognize your voice."

"hehe."

Hong Jishi laughed out loud, satisfied with Jiang Chen's answer.

He had seen Jiang Chen during the time travel in the Conquest Space.

Now face to face, Hong Jishi is more satisfied with him.

Jiang Chen remained calm and composed.

His instinctive reactions earned him full marks.

"very good."

"I've come here today to talk to you about Shenlong University."
