Chapter 56: Setting a Record! Generous Rewards!

Chapter 56: Setting a Record! Generous Rewards!

A female instructor who attracted the attention of countless male students rushed to the side of the ranking instructor.

Some female students looked at the female instructor's figure, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the female instructor handed a piece of paper to the ranking instructor.

The ranking instructor, without a trace of emotion, glanced at the female instructor's figure and then was drawn to the statistics on the paper.

"Hiss!!!"

He stared at the paper in disbelief, carefully examining it once before looking up at the female instructor.

"Are you sure there are no mistakes in the tally?"

"No problem at all. I've already tallied it twice, and the two instructors responsible for supervision have also reviewed it."

The female instructor affirmed confidently.

"I know you may find it hard to believe, as do I, but the fact remains!"

The ranking instructor took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly.

"The Xiao Ze team, with a score of two thousand six hundred and seventy-five! Topping the list!"

The whole crowd erupted!

Countless students murmured about the astonishingly high score!

It was higher than the scores of the second and third places combined!

Even the other instructors responsible for tallying on the platform were shocked, looking at the paper posted at the center.

"Is this real? A score of over two thousand, can anyone really achieve that? Did they hunt down every magical beast in the outer area?"

"Or was it just an explosion of luck, accidentally finding high-level magical cores?"

"No matter how you look at it, it's unbelievable. Whether it's extraordinary strength or extraordinary luck!"

The instructors whispered to each other softly. As middle-ranking members of the academy, they knew how much importance the academy placed on the magical beast hunting competition.

The elders responsible for guarding the safety of the students also served the role of supervision to prevent cheating!

So they knew that such a score, if not a tallying mistake, meant that Xiao Ze's team was terrifying!

...

Compared to the instructors who knew the ins and outs of the academy, the students naturally had doubts about the absurdly high score.

Could it be cheating?

Bai Cheng's eyes were now bloodshot.

He had thought he could secure the second-place reward, but ended up in third place instead!

Having Han Yue rank above him was acceptable, after all, she was a strong participant from the previous year's inner courtyard selection competition!

But when did a team of unknown freshmen manage to surpass him?

Wasn't this like announcing to the entire academy that despite practicing for over two years, he was still inferior to a newly enrolled freshman?

It was like having his face stepped on, becoming the focus of discussion in the academy!

The reduction in rewards along with the damage to his reputation made Bai Cheng unable to hold back his shouts.

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How could a freshman team achieve a score of over two thousand?"

"This must be a mistake! They must be up to something!"

Bai Cheng's words immediately attracted the attention of all the students.

Originally positioned near the high platform, Bai Cheng's yelling made him even more conspicuous.

Although other students also had suspicions, none of them lost control like Bai Cheng, openly questioning the fairness of the academy.

Of course, with Bai Cheng's words, more and more gazes fell on Xiao Ze, who was standing on the platform.

Xiao Ze remained calm. He could sense the doubts in the eyes of the students below.

But unfortunately, this was the truth!

His team's score could withstand any scrutiny!

Moreover, Xiao Ze believed that the academy would definitely step forward, so he just watched quietly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiao Ze's expectations to be met.

Just as Bai Cheng's shout ended, a venerable voice rang out.

"Humph!"

"Are you questioning the fairness of the academy?"

"The Xiao Ze team has been under my and Elder Yan's supervision the whole time. Or do you suspect that Elder Yan and I are covering up for their team?"

An elder with a stern face activated his Dou Qi wings, flying out of the loft and hovering in mid-air, coldly snorting!

Crack!

Bai Cheng felt like he had been struck by lightning, his face turning deathly pale.

Although the elder didn't exert any pressure on him, as an outer courtyard student, Bai Cheng knew how immense the power of the elders was.

By openly questioning the elder, he had undoubtedly offended them, disrespecting their authority.

Bai Cheng quickly bowed and apologized.

"Please forgive me, Elder. My emotions got the better of me for a moment, and I didn't mean to question Elder's integrity."

The elder hovering in mid-air snorted coldly, ignoring Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng bent his body, not daring to make any rash moves.

Finally, Vice Dean Hu Qian flew out and spoke.

"I know you all may have doubts, but the Xiao Ze team's score is indeed real. Among the magical cores they submitted, there is a fourth-tier magical core!"

With the sound of Dou Qi mixed in, his voice spread throughout the square.

All the students' doubts quickly dissipated, replaced by shock and admiration!

A fourth-tier magical beast was equivalent to a Dou Spirit powerhouse!

The suspicion in the eyes of the students disappeared rapidly, replaced by awe and admiration!

Even Han Yue, who was still on the platform and hadn't stepped down yet, showed a look of astonishment as she looked at Xiao Ze!

"Dou Spirit!!!"

Han Yue looked at Xiao Ze's youthful face, unable to connect it with a Dou Spirit powerhouse.

It was just too unreal!

Upon hearing the explanation from the vice dean, Bai Cheng also straightened up suddenly, looking at Xiao Ze in horror!

If Xiao Ze's score was indeed real, it meant that not only did he question the elders and offend them, but he also offended Xiao Ze!

The elders might overlook his offense, but Xiao Ze might not!

Although Hu Qian didn't care about the emotions of the students, since he appeared, he naturally announced the final winning team of the magical beast hunting competition.

"After ten days of fierce battles, the final winner of the magical beast hunting competition has emerged!"

"That would be the Xiao Ze team, with a score of two thousand six hundred and seventy-five points, setting a new record!"

Upon hearing the vice dean's announcement, the students' feelings of unreality dissipated somewhat, replaced by a sense of reality.

Looking at the teenager on the platform, many students knew.

The record set by this teenager... was unprecedented and might never be achieved again!

Two days later, Xiao Ze received the rewards for this competition from Vice Dean Hu Qian.

One of them was his exclusive reward, doubling his quota of elixirs! At the same time, they were awarded three volumes of high-level arcane techniques, suitable for their three attributes.

There were six auxiliary cultivation elixirs, but at Xiao Ze's request, they were all exchanged for elixirs suitable for practitioners of the fire attribute.

Although Hu Qian was puzzled, he still followed Xiao Ze's wishes.

Leaving the library, Xiao Ze noticed the admiring and worshipful gazes from passing students.

Some bold female students even threw flirtatious glances at him.

Xiao Ze just smiled in response.

The female students who threw flirtatious glances at him were surprised and blushed.

But Xiao Ze noticed that his usual smile, which was always effective, seemed to be losing its effect?

Those students seemed to be getting closer to him? Realizing this, Xiao Ze rushed away in a gust of wind, disappearing without a trace.

Leaving behind disappointed male and female students.

In a secluded corner, Xiao Ze examined the water attribute arcane techniques suitable for him.

High-level Arcane: Azure Sea Shockwave!

Consuming a large amount of Dou Qi, it released a tremendously powerful wave!

Seeing this brief introduction, Xiao Ze's eyes lit up!

It seemed to go well with the Azure Sea Vortex!
