Chapter 131: The Absent Inferior Student

  With Xu Guoxiang's announcement, the entire martial arts arena became busy.

  On the large and small arenas, newcomers lined up in teams, their faces filled with anticipation, watching their teammates being tested one by one at the front of the team, eager to try, all extremely confident.

  The first assessment content is the evaluation of the new student's strength, which is done through the yuan energy tester to detect the new student's inner yuan boundary.

  The yuan energy tester is completely different from the power tester, and only needs to be tested by placing the hand on the yuan energy tester, the yuan force in the body can test the internal yuan boundary.

  This kind of testing equipment is quite expensive. Generally speaking, it's difficult for middle-level colleges to afford such instruments. Only higher institutions have the ability to purchase nuclear energy testers.

  However, like Teikou Academy, just the ordinary department's new student comprehensive assessment alone brought out several hundred units of First-Generation Energy Testers. It can only be said that Teikou Academy is indeed wealthy and extravagant.

  An ordinary college, a school's entrance exam scores added up, probably only that much.

  Time flies, and sometimes amazing achievements emerge. The freshmen have different expressions, with joy and worry. Among the ordinary department freshmen in previous years, few people broke through to the fourth level of martial arts within three months of enrollment. This year seems no exception.

  Among the crowd, Mu Shan stood out like a crane standing among chickens, with his arms crossed over his chest and an air of haughty confidence, as if no one in this year's freshman class could enter his line of sight.

  Shui Lian Qing felt a bit tense, she had always been a well-behaved student since childhood, but after becoming Lin Dan's disciple, it brought her great pressure. She worried that her progress in Yuan Li would be too slow and lose face for Master Lin Dan.

  Lin Tianwang remained as low-key and taciturn as ever, standing quietly in the crowd with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit. Underneath the bandages that wrapped around his entire body, a faint crimson seeped out.

  Half an hour later, the first assessment came to an end. The invigilators on each stage summarized and ranked the scores, reporting them to the three chief invigilators on the central stage.

  Around, the new students who participated in the assessment were quiet, looking at the three examiners in the center, nervously waiting for the announcement of the assessment results. Because according to convention, after the new student's strength evaluation is over, the examiner will publicly announce the list of the top 10 students in the Neiyuan Jinjie ranking.

  If I can be included in it, it is an honor that cannot be refused.

  On the rostrum, Professor Xu sat in the middle, smiling as he took over a miniature light brain, scanned it, and nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, this year's ordinary department freshmen are quite promising! Little Xu, go announce it."

  "Alright, Old Xu."

  Xu Guoxiang smiled and stood up, looking at the results on his micro-light brain, and said slowly: "Fellow students, you have been a member of the ordinary department of Emperor Feng Academy for three months. As your teacher, I know that each and every one of you has worked very hard. However, the progress of martial arts cultivation is closely related to innate talent. Nevertheless, I hope those who did not perform well in this assessment will not be discouraged. As long as you persist and keep working hard, perhaps someday you will become a top-notch martial artist."

  These words were spoken with great passion and enthusiasm, causing many new students who had not done well on the test to wipe away their disappointment and once again firm up their determination to study hard.

  "Ranking first in the assessment: Class 77 of the Ordinary Department, Mu Shan, with an inner yuan boundary at level four. Let's give him a warm round of applause for his achievement."

  "Ranking second in the assessment: Lin Tianwang, Class 6 of Ordinary Department, with a third-level internal yuan boundary and eight meridians unblocked. Let's give him a warm round of applause to congratulate him on his achievement."

  "Third place in strength assessment..."

  "Fourth in Power Level Evaluation..."

  "Ranked fifth in terms of strength..."

  "Ranking sixth in the assessment: Class 77 of the Ordinary Department, Qiu Shanlin, with an internal yuan boundary at level three and having opened up three yuan force channels. Let's give a warm round of applause..."

  "Seventh place in the strength assessment: Class 77 of the Ordinary Department, Shui Lianqing, inner yuan boundary: third level, two places where the yuan force channel is unblocked."

  ……

  In the center of the stage, Xu Guoxiang stood there, reading out the list of the top 10 students, with a smile on his face, lavishing praise on these people without reservation.

  Here is the translation:

  "Once again, we offer warm applause to these 10 students. In just three months since the start of school, their achievements are clear for all to see, and I believe that in the future they will also become a pride of our ordinary department."

  In the martial arts arena, a warm applause immediately erupted. The new students who participated in this assessment, whether they were willing or not, but the fact was in front of them, and no one had any objections.

  After a moment, the sparse applause stopped. Xu Guoxiang smiled and nodded, opening his mouth as if to announce the content of the second test item. Suddenly, his face changed, carefully examining the micro-light brain in his hand, as if he had found something wrong.

  After carefully reviewing the data in his mind for several times, Xu Guoxiang raised his head, with a serious face and said in a low voice: "The new strength assessment data is 41212 people? Isn't this year's freshman number 41213? Which of the invigilators did not participate in the assessment?"

  As soon as this statement came out, the invigilators and students present were stunned. Everyone was well aware of the importance of the freshman comprehensive assessment.

  The new student comprehensive assessment is not only an important assessment to detect the potential of new students, but also a matter of the college's attention to cultivating this student in the future. If you can make a stunning debut in the new student comprehensive assessment, you will definitely receive the college's key cultivation in the future.

  Therefore, unless there are unforeseen circumstances beyond one's control, all freshmen will attend the comprehensive assessment. Even in case of emergency, they will ask for leave in advance from the class advisor.

  However, after Xu Guoxiang asked three times, the invigilators present were all bewildered, and no one had received a leave application from the student in advance.

  Seeing a small gap in the crowd, Professor Xu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, saying: "Someone is absent, and no one knows about it until now. This oversight shouldn't be made by teachers of our Imperial Wind Academy."

  Although the voice was soft, it made everyone break out in a cold sweat. As Professor Xu's words were already quite severe in their rebuke.

  Xu Guoxiang's face turned dark and he growled in a low voice, "Give you 5 minutes, immediately find out for me the instructor of that student's class, come up here to explain the situation yourself."

  Actually, it's quite simple to investigate who didn't participate in the strength assessment. Just search in the light brain and everything will be clear. However, given Xu Guoxiang's position in the ordinary department, this is not something he should do.

  Suddenly, the entire martial arts arena fell into a murmur, and after a moment, a tall and thin young man walked out of the crowd, with a nervous expression, to the central stage, who was none other than Chen Laoshi, the class teacher of Grade 1 Class 77 of the Ordinary Department.

  "Reporting to the three examiners, the absent student is from my class 77, and his name is Sun Yan." Teacher Chen's expression was serious, saying: "This student had previously asked me for leave, I was too busy, so I forgot, this is a mistake in my work."

  Upon hearing this, the people present were in an uproar, many of the new gods looked bewildered and burst into laughter.

  Her face suddenly changed, she didn't expect Sun Yan to be absent from the new student comprehensive assessment. At the same time, she was worried in her heart, could it be that last night, after a series of intense battles, Sun Yan got injured and is now bedridden?

  In the crowd, Lin Tianwang's face slightly changed, and he couldn't help but frown, shifting his mouth, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

  "Quiet, pay attention to the discipline of the examination room!" Xǔ Guóxiáng's small eyes stared, and immediately looked at Teacher Chen, "Teacher Chen, you have always been a young backbone in our ordinary department teacher team, how could you make such an oversight?"

  "Sorry, Professor Xu, this is a dereliction of my duty. The new student comprehensive assessment has great significance for each new student, and I hope to give this student a chance to retake the exam."

  Professor Xu Wen, sitting in the front row, nodded slightly and showed a look of approval. As a teacher, he should think for his students like this.

  Xu Guoxiang nodded and said thoughtfully: "Tell me about this student's information, if he is indeed an excellent student, it's also right to give him a chance."

  Upon hearing this, Teacher Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitter smile. As an ordinary department teacher, he wasn't blind or deaf. He was well aware of Sun Yan's situation over the past period of time, and he was certain that Xu Guoxiang also knew it in his heart. To have him publicly report on Sun Yan's data would be to cut off any possibility of this new student retaking the exam, and it would mean that by the end of this semester, Sun Yan would inevitably face the fate of being expelled from Emperor Wind College.

  Under Xǔ Guóxiáng's intentional or unintentional stare, Teacher Chén could only helplessly speak out the situation of Jiǎng Sūn during this period in front of everyone.

  "Sun Yan, Student ID: 27034567, Class: Grade 1 Class 77, Credits: 10, Martial Artist Level: Second Level..."

  "That's enough!" Just as he was halfway through, Xu Guoxiang raised his hand to interrupt, his face unpleasant and coldly said: "Teacher Chen, I can understand your serious attitude towards your teaching duties, but for a student who has been absent for three months since the beginning of the school year, except for the first week, do you think it makes any sense whether he takes the make-up exam or not?"

  Without waiting for Teacher Chen to refute, Xu Guoxiang said: "Furthermore, all the new first-year students are present now. For the sake of such a trash student, we would waste manpower and resources, re-arranging a make-up exam. Do you think our Emperor Wind College is a charity organization?"

  These words were reasonable and won the unanimous approval of countless new lives in the audience.

  At this time, Feng Yan suddenly slapped the chair and stood up, saying loudly: "Professor Xu is right. For a student like this, we would waste manpower and resources to re-arrange a make-up exam. Do you think our Emperor Wind College is a charity?"

  At that moment, the crowd on the central stage stared blankly at Feng Yan, and Xu Guoxiang also turned his head in astonishment, with a look of surprise and uncertainty, not understanding why Feng Yan would suddenly support him. The grudge between the Law Enforcement Team and the Imperial Wind Academy's Xu family had been going on for a long time, and even if it was the correct fact, Feng Yan would have definitely remained indifferent in the past.

  Without regard for the stunned gazes of the crowd, Feng Yan strode up to Xu Guoxiang's side, his sunglasses reflecting a cold glint on the bridge of his nose, baring his snow-white teeth as he declared with passion: "Professor Xu is absolutely right! How can our ordinary department tolerate the existence of such a student? This Sun Yan, so lawless and unruly, I must apprehend him and send him to the Enforcement Squad for some good discipline and education!"

  Behind him, Wei Lingdong looked up at the sky with a blank expression, as if counting the number of clouds in the sky. Meng Dongwang, on the other hand, lowered his head and muttered: "Please, Feng Yan, don't be so ridiculous! You're not just an ordinary student."

  In the central arena, Xu Guoxiang felt a strange surge in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. With Feng Yan's support from the law enforcement team, Sun Yan's fate was already sealed and could not be changed.

  At this time, Professor Xu coughed lightly and said a sentence that made everyone present stop discussing.
