Four Skills for All.

Shuncheng High School playground.

Just the day before yesterday, the entire school held its final mock exam before the college entrance examination.

Previous mock exams did not include a skills assessment component because some students had not yet awakened their skills.

This final mock exam is the only one to include a skills assessment, meaning that the results of this assessment will be very close to the college entrance examination scores.

Every student takes this exam very seriously and gives their all without holding back.

Today is the day the results are released, and the school-wide rankings are posted on the bulletin board in front of the playground.

This public announcement caused a sensation throughout the entire school.

In the past, the top two in every mock exam were Mo Xiu and Mu Qingyi, and they remained so throughout the entire senior year of high school.

The top two spots this time were occupied by two unfamiliar names.

Wang Xuanhu ranked first with a total score of 910.

Liu Qingyu ranked second with a total score of 893.

The college entrance examination has a full score of 1000 points, and very few people in the school's history have scored more than 900 points, so these two people's scores are a bit exaggerated.

Although Wang Xuanhu ranked among the top five in his class and even came in third place multiple times, he had never been in the top ten in the entire school.

Liu Qingyu is even more outrageous; he had never been in the top 100 before.

The sudden rise of these two individuals caused quite a stir at the school.

There are also some rumors about the disappearance of Mu Qingyi and Mo Xiu.

Mu Qingyi's version of events is fairly consistent; everyone knows that Mu Qingyi comes from a wealthy family.

Rumor has it that Mu Qingyi was arranged by her family to transfer to a better high school for a final push.

There are many rumors about Mo Xiu's disappearance.

However, there are roughly two versions. One version comes from Mo Xiu's best friend Zheng Yi, who said that Mo Xiu was assigned to an exchange program by the school and is now at another school.

However, this claim has many flaws. First, the school had never heard of the concept of exchange students before. Second, even Zheng Yi couldn't say which school Mo Xiu was currently attending.

Most people believe that Zheng Yi was covering for Mo Xiu, and that something might have happened to Mo Xiu.

The second rumor, spread by an unknown source, is that Mo Xiu got into trouble outside, offended a powerful figure, and is now crippled and afraid to show his face.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. The story became more and more true and detailed, eventually even including a detailed account of how Mo Xiu was beaten, with some claiming to have witnessed it firsthand.

Rumors about Mo Xiu spread rapidly and reached Ye Qian'er's ears.

Ye Qian'er was saddened for a long time because of this. How could the person who saved her have encountered such a terrible thing?

For this reason, Ye Qian'er specifically sought out Zheng Yi to inquire about Mo Xiu's situation.

Zheng Yi was also very annoyed. The rumors had spread, and he couldn't defend himself. He showed others the messages he had exchanged with Mo Xiu a couple of days ago, but they said that Mo Xiu was putting on an act with him.

Zheng Yi repeatedly assured Ye Qian'er that Mo Xiu would be alright and would definitely come back before the college entrance examination before he finally persuaded Ye Qian'er to leave.

After Ye Qian'er returned home, she explained Mo Xiu's situation to her class, but no one listened to her. They all thought she was infatuated and fantasizing that Mo Xiu would come back.

While some are worried, others are happy. Among them, Wang Xuanhu has been the most carefree these days.

Wang Xuanhu had a tough time recently. News of Mo Xiu's reprimand spread, and his young master's airs disappeared. The release of detailed skill data might even affect his college entrance exam.

I was finally able to turn things around after this exam result came out, and now I can be as comfortable as I can be.

Wang Xuanhu's achievements are real. The reason for his rapid improvement in strength is that his father found him a "spirit ring".

A spirit ring can directly upgrade a skill to level 2, and the price of one is astronomical. In addition, no matter how expensive it is, there will always be buyers, so the supply cannot meet the demand.

Wang Xuanhu's father almost exhausted his family fortune to buy this ring. After consuming it, Wang Xuanhu's skill level was upgraded to level 2, making him one of the top performers not only in Shuncheng but also in other major cities.

My grades have improved, the issue of my college entrance exam being affected has been resolved, and I just heard the news that Mo Xiu has been dismissed. I can't be happier.

But Wang Xuanhu was not satisfied. How could he let it go so easily after Mo Xiu had embarrassed him in front of so many people at the training ground that day?

However, unable to find Mo Xiu for revenge, Wang Xuanhu had no choice but to target Zheng Yi.

The next day, at the training ground of Shuncheng High School.

Hundreds of people gathered in the venue, all drawn by today's duel.

A showdown between veteran celebrity Zheng Yi, the "Demon Eagle," and rising star Wang Xuanhu.

Yesterday, Wang Xuanhu challenged Zheng Yi, and given Zheng Yi's personality, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

The battle wasn't as intense as I'd imagined; the whole thing lasted less than five minutes.

Wang Xuanhu defeated Zheng Yi with overwhelming force.

Zheng Yi lay on the ground, beaten, gritting his teeth as he said, "I admit defeat."

The skill level difference was too great. Although Zheng Yi's skills were strong, Wang Xuanhu's original skills were not weak either. In addition, he was one level higher, so he easily defeated Zheng Yi.

Wang Xuanhu walked straight over and extended his right hand.

Zheng Yi thought Wang Xuanhu wanted to help him up, and as soon as he reached out his hand, Wang Xuanhu withdrew it.

Then, he kicked Zheng Yi's hand hard. Zheng Yi was caught off guard, and Wang Xuanhu used all his strength in this kick, so Zheng Yi was in pain and rolled on the ground.

"Ah!!! You son of a bitch."

Wang Xuanhu went up and kicked him again.

"Who are you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly."

Zheng Yi, sweating profusely from the pain, gritted his teeth and said, "You just wait!"

"Oh, Young Master Zheng, what's wrong? You can't beat them yourself, so you're going to seek revenge from your family?"

Zheng Yi trembled and stopped speaking. The onlookers also felt that Wang Xuanhu had gone too far.

One of them stepped forward and said, "Wang Xuanhu, you've already won, there's no need for this, is there?"

Wang Xuanhu glared and roared, "What? You have a problem with that? Why don't you come down and have a go?"

For a moment, no one in the room dared to stand up and speak up for Zheng Yi.

Wang Xuanhu wasn't satisfied and stretched out his foot to kick Zheng Yi again.

"Wait a minute, sparring is always a matter of stopping short of a duel. Why are you pushing me so hard?"

Hearing this, Wang Xuanhu turned around and saw a thin man wearing glasses squeeze out from the crowd.

Wang Xuanhu said impatiently, "Who are you? Want to exchange a few moves?"

"My name is Liu Qingyu, and I'd like to spar with you."

"Liu Qingyu?"

Wang Xuanhu remembered that it was Liu Qingyu, who came in second in the mock exam and was also said to be on good terms with Mo Xiu.

"Fine, you're willing to step up, aren't you? Let's fight again at this time tomorrow."

"I'm happy to oblige!"

Wang Xuanhu glared at the crowd, who immediately parted to make way for him, and then drove off.

Liu Qingyu quickly helped Zheng Yi up and asked, "How are you? Are you badly injured?"

Zheng Yi looked at his right hand, which hadn't moved an inch, and sighed, saying, "Alas, this is probably quite serious."

Liu Qingyu immediately took Zheng Yi to the hospital, where the examination results were not ideal; he had a comminuted fracture of his right wrist.

"Zheng Yi, the college entrance exam is just around the corner. This hand injury might affect your exam. I have medicine at home that can treat it, but the process will be quite painful."

Zheng Yi, pale-faced, waved his left hand and said, "I know what kind of medicine you're talking about. I have it at home. I've used it before. I know how painful it is. That damned Wang Xuanhu."

Liu Qingyu shook his head and sighed.

Zheng Yi continued, "But what about you? How confident are you in your fight against Wang Xuanhu tomorrow?"

"Less than 10%!"
