8 Principal Wang's Prediction

What the school was planning had nothing to do with Chen Feng.

He immediately opened the small golden box, took out two inner cores of the Tier 3 dire beasts and swallowed them in one gulp.

As soon as the inner core entered his mouth, it melted and turned into a warm current that surged into his abdomen.

Sensing the warm current, Chen Feng immediately returned to the corner of the dormitory and sat. He began trying to control that essence as it slowly circulated through his veins. Chen Feng immersed himself in cultivation.

At this moment, all the students had already entered the forest.

The principal and a few teachers stayed outside the forest.

The principal stroked his beard.

He asked, "Who do you think will win the second prizes this time?"

Hearing this question, the teachers already had an answer in their hearts.

One by one, they started to reply Wang Wenfeng. "Leng Ruzhi will definitely get one."

"I think that Li Qiang, the one who awakened the fire mage class, will get one too."

"Lin Yu, the student who has that nature-related class, should be able to get one too. The forest is his home ground, after all."

"Don't forget Bai Hong from the support faculty. The class she awakened—airflow master—is a very good class!"

"Principal Wang, are the people we guessed different from what you think?"

All the teachers spoke confidently, it was as if they had already predicted the outcome of this exam.

However, Wang Wenfeng chuckled and stroked his goatee.

"From what I think, you're wrong about one person," he said.

"Oh?"

The teachers exchanged glances with each other.

The few people they had guessed earlier were outstanding students who had awakened intermediate classes. What could be wrong with their guesses?

Just as they were feeling puzzled, Wang Wenfeng smiled and continued to speak.

"Although Jiang Pan from the support faculty only has a basic class, she is very hardworking in her studies. She is also very smart and knows how to be adaptable."

"In my opinion, she has a good chance of winning the second prize."

Hearing the principal's words, the teachers nodded one after another.

"That's right. Jiang Pan is indeed not bad."

"That makes sense."

"But there are only four of the second prizes in total. If Jiang Pan can get one, which of the other four will fail to do so?"

"Although Li Qiang has an intermediate class, he's a little impulsive."

"Although Lin Yu has the venue advantage, he might suffer a little if the students get into a fight over the prize."

"Although Bai Hong is all right, her teammate is mediocre…"

At that moment, the teachers started discussing the shortcomings of those people they had thought highly of earlier.

However, what the principal said next shocked them again.

"You guys thought highly of four people earlier, right? You're discussing their shortcomings now, but why did you leave her out?" he asked.

All the teachers froze.

"Principal Wang, are you talking about Leng Ruzhi?"

"That's impossible. How can she fail to get the second prize?"

"Even if Chen Feng holds her back, she should still be able to get the second prize."

However, the principal shook his head slightly.

"No, what I mean is…"

"I'm afraid we'll have to prepare an extra first prize this year."

At this moment, the teachers snapped out of their daze.

The principal actually thought that Leng Ruzhi could win the first prize!

There was one thing everyone had to know.

Sunrise High School's tradition had always been like this.

Year Three students would take a preliminary exam after they had completed the awakening ceremony.

At the time of graduation, there would be another exam.

In previous years, no student had successfully won the first prize in the preliminary examination.

Even after a year of bitter cultivation, when the students had their graduation exam, there were hardly any students who had gotten the first prize.

This showed how difficult it was to win the first prize.

But even though it was difficult…

"If it's Leng Ruzhi, it's really possible!"

She was a prodigy who had awakened a legendary class.

Leng Ruzhi of the Leng family!

-

At this moment, in the forest.

Those teams with basic classes had given up on the idea of going deeper into the center of the forest. They planned to search the outermost part of the forest for the third prize.

In such a dangerous world, it was very important to have self-awareness.

Those who did not have this ability were often the first batch to die.

About a few hundred meters into the forest, they arrived at the inner ring of the forest.

There was a significant decrease in the number of teams there. There were only three teams there.

It was Li Qiang's team, Lin Yu's team, and Bai Hong's team.

It was almost the same as what the teachers had guessed earlier.

At this moment, each team was fighting a low-tier dire beast respectively. Neither team had any intention of interfering with other teams.

But these people did not use their full strength when fighting the dire beast. They made sure to keep their distance from the other teams.

After all, in this exam, dire beasts were not the only ones they had to guard against.

No one knew for sure if they would be ambushed by other teams while they were focused on fighting dire beasts.

Similarly.

If they could seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the other teams, even if their opponents only got minor injuries, they might decide to give up and leave.

There was a strange atmosphere in the air.

Everyone wanted to be the first to kill the dire beast in front of them. That way, they would be in an advantageous position that allowed them to call the shots.

However, they did not dare to be too engrossed in the battle to prevent themselves from being ambushed.

The three teams remained locked in a stalemate.

Just then, two different footsteps sounded behind them.

Everyone immediately raised their vigilance and studied their surroundings.

It was Leng Ruzhi.

And the useless Chen Feng.

Upon seeing Leng Ruzhi, Li Qiang could barely conceal his delight. He lifted his hands and called forth fireballs, throwing them at the dire beast one after another. He was desperately trying to showcase his strength in front of Leng Ruzhi.

On the other hand, the other two teams slowed down their movements.

It was as if in comparison with the dire beast, Leng Ruzhi's presence made them more vigilant!

The three teams reacted differently to Leng Ruzhi's sudden appearance. Leng Ruzhi, who had a cold and aloof expression, did not slow down her footsteps at all. She slowly lifted her hands.

Immediately, her palms began to emit a white glow.

"I swear in the name of light…"

"Sweeping away the filth of the world… Clearing all the evil in the world…"

"Spear of Light!"

In the next moment, there was a bright glow in the forest.

Three spears of light shone down on them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A few consecutive loud bangs sounded. The ground trembled slightly, and dust immediately filled the scene.

A moment later, the dust slowly dissipated.

The three dire beasts' bodies were pierced with Spears of Light, and their corpses were nailed to the ground.

At this moment, Bai Hong and Lin Yu's team had already turned around and stared at Leng Ruzhi with abnormal vigilance. It was as if they were confronted by a formidable enemy.

Li Qiang felt a surge of happiness.

"Leng Ruzhi helped me!"

"That means that she cares about me!" he thought happily.

At that moment, Chen Feng, who was standing behind Leng Ruzhi, was speechless.

"Leng Ruzhi, can't you keep a low profile?" he thought helplessly.

"Will you die if you don't flaunt your power?"
