Chapter 57: 57 Chapter 57: Imperial Top Scholar, White God Visits A poor evaluation in the trial cut off Wang Zihao’s chances of entering a top higher education institution. Now being expelled, not even institutions ranked in the top 100 would accept him, let alone top ones. Even with family connections or the Dynasty Guild’s influence, they couldn’t contend with higher education institutions. Wang Zihao’s future was predictable. The best outcome would be attending an ordinary higher education institution. Rankings were announced one by one. Apart from Lin Moyu and Xia Xue, West Sea City First High School’s overall results were decent. Gao Yang ranked 61st, considered average. Others were slightly worse, but could still enter institutions. After results were announced, the examiner’s voice sounded again: "For combat careers, this year’s Jiangning Province top scholar is Lin Moyu." The examiner solemnly announced Lin Moyu as the provincial top scholar, causing another commotion. Thunderous applause followed. Everyone congratulated Lin Moyu. Becoming a provincial top scholar was no easy feat. Moreover, Lin Moyu’s score crushed others to take first place. Of the five who entered the Conquest Space, the other four’s scores combined didn’t match his alone. The advantage was too obvious. Amidst the applause, the examiner spoke again: "The empire has issued an order - Lin Moyu is this year’s national top scholar for the big exam." Wow! Principal Lu jumped up again, flames bursting from his head. He was too excited, excited to the point of his head catching fire. "National... national top scholar." "Moyu is the national top scholar..." "Is this real? Did I hear wrong?" For a moment he couldn’t speak clearly, not believing his own ears. "Old Lu, are you alright?" "Don’t get too excited, take care of your health." "It’s true, Lin Moyu really is the national top scholar." "You didn’t hear wrong. Now you can brag for a lifetime." "Your First High can change its name to Top Scholar High School now. Producing a national top scholar, you really struck gold." They were both envious and jealous. The flames on Principal Lu’s head wouldn’t extinguish, like his excited, surging emotions. Outside the Trial Tower, applause exploded like thunder. "A national top scholar! Our Jiangning Province produced a national top scholar!" "Heavens, how many years has it been since our Jiangning Province had a national top scholar?" "Lin Moyu is too amazing, actually becoming the national top scholar." Lin Moyu remained calm and composed. When he got provincial top scholar, he had realized national top scholar might fall to him too. Sure enough. Xia Xue asked curiously, "You’ve become the national top scholar, aren’t you happy?" "I am happy," Lin Moyu said calmly. Xia Xue pouted, "You don’t even know to smile when you’re happy." Lin Moyu remained calm, "I smiled, in my heart." "A dummy is still a dummy." Xia Xue snorted, "But still, congratulations, Top Scholar Lin." Zuo Mei and Feng Xiu came together. "Lin Moyu, congratulations." Zuo Mei was petite, her voice slightly cold. Her demeanor fit her career very well. Feng Xiu extended his hand, "Thank you this time. If not for you, we’d have been in big trouble." Zuo Mei also thanked him. Lin Moyu shook his hand, "It was the right thing to do." Feng Xiu asked, "You’re aiming for Summer Capital University, right?" Lin Moyu nodded. "Great, see you at Summer Capital University then. I’ll treat you to a meal when we get there." "Mm," Lin Moyu responded faintly. Lin Moyu was too cold, even colder than Zuo Mei. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Xia Xue quickly smiled and said, "This guy doesn’t like talking. I’ve been his classmate for three years, and all our conversations combined don’t exceed 10 sentences." Lin Moyu shook his head, "16 sentences." Pfft... Feng Xiu and Zuo Mei couldn’t help laughing. This Lin Moyu guy seemed quite interesting, apart from not liking to talk. The big exam ended, and they teleported back to school. Principal Lu didn’t return with them. The support class exam was still ongoing, he had to stay with them. Lin Moyu returned home to rest well. He could register tomorrow. His goal was Summer Capital University. As the national top scholar, he would certainly get in. If even he couldn’t get in, no one else could hope to. He silently summoned 4 skeleton warriors, then recalled them to his summoning space. There were now 104 skeleton warriors in his summoning space. Earlier in the Conquest Space, the skeleton warriors were injured to varying degrees fighting the Feline Beastman Warriors. In the summoning space, their injuries recovered rapidly. Knock knock knock. The knocking pulled Lin Moyu out of his meditation state. The flames on Principal Lu’s head had finally extinguished. But the excitement on his face hadn’t faded. This over 60-year-old man had never been as excited as today. "Why have you come?" It was already late at night. In the quiet of night, Principal Lu’s sudden visit must mean something. Not just Principal Lu came, but also someone Lin Moyu didn’t recognize. When Lin Moyu saw this person, his whole body’s hair stood on end. The newcomer carried a terrifying aura, making it difficult for him to breathe. It seemed he might suffocate at any moment. Lin Moyu didn’t sit idly by. Skeleton warriors instantly appeared in front of him, protecting him. "Very good reaction." Lin Moyu couldn’t see the other’s face clearly, but he recognized the voice. His tense spirit immediately relaxed. Lin Moyu respectfully bowed to the visitor, "Greetings, Lord White God." Bai Yiyuan retracted his aura, revealing himself from the darkness, "How did you know it was me?" Lin Moyu also recalled his skeleton warriors, "I recognized your voice." "Hehe." Bai Yiyuan laughed, satisfied with Lin Moyu’s answer. He had seen Lin Moyu in the Conquest Space review. Now face to face, Bai Yiyuan was even more satisfied with him. Lin Moyu was calm and composed. His instinctive reactions all earned full marks. "Very good, very good." "I’ve come this time to discuss Summer Capital University matters with you."
