Core Students, College Entrance Examination Reform

"Yes, that's true. I only just successfully broke through to the extraordinary level of Beast Tamer."

Su Yuan smiled slightly and responded softly.

Wang Gang, standing opposite him, looked utterly astonished, seemingly finding the news hard to believe.

After a while, Wang Gang finally came to his senses from the shock, but his eyes were still fixed on Su Yuan, with a hint of scrutiny and doubt.

He took a deep breath, his tone becoming unusually solemn:

"Su Yuan, besides me, is there anyone else who understands your current level of strength?"

Faced with Wang Gang's pointed question, Su Yuan calmly shook his head, indicating his denial.

Then he continued to explain:

"Principal, I just arrived in Tianyang City and couldn't wait to get back to the school just to let everyone know I'm safe."

"As for revealing my strength level to others, I really don't have time to worry about it."

"Therefore, as of now, you should be the only one who knows about this."

After saying this, Su Yuan quietly looked at Wang Gang, waiting for further instructions.

Upon hearing this, a pleased smile instantly appeared on Wang Gang's face, and he nodded repeatedly in praise:

"Excellent, very good!"

"Su Yuan, you must remember this well: as the crucial college entrance examination approaches, never reveal your true abilities to the outside world!"

His voice was deep and powerful, conveying an unquestionable authority.

Clearly, Wang Gang has high hopes for Su Yuan's future development and hopes that this warning will keep him low-key to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Don't worry, Principal, I know."

Seeing Wang Gang's concerned expression, Su Yuan smiled and nodded.

He has always been very low-key.

Even so, it still led to his death.

In the Voodoo Forest, he encountered three peak-awakening Beastmasters who had been sent to kill him.

Having experienced the battle in the Voodoo Jungle, even if Wang Gang didn't say anything, he wouldn't act in a high-profile manner.

"You know that much is good!"

Hearing Su Yuan's answer, Wang Gang nodded with great satisfaction.

Then, he looked at Su Yuan and continued:

"You've come back at just the right time. There's only one week left until your college entrance exam. Tianyang City is holding a mock exam for core students tomorrow."

"However, now that you have reached the extraordinary level, there is a significant gap in strength between you and your classmates."

"I will apply to the mayor to allow you to skip tomorrow's simulation battle and directly secure first place and the first-place reward."

"Moreover, in order to improve the strength of the candidates in Tianyang City and strive to achieve better results in the next stage of the assessment, so as to bring fame to Tianyang City, the mayor has spent a lot of money and provided a lot of good things as rewards for the top few."

"Especially the reward for first place among the core students in Tianyang City this time—it's quite tempting even to me! You're really lucky!"

"The simulated battle is fine, but Principal, what's with these core students?"

Upon suddenly hearing those four words from Wang Gang, Su Yuan immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't know about the core students since you just got back."

"This year's college entrance examination is different from previous years. This year, many exceptionally talented young beast tamers have emerged from all over the country."

"In order to better and more quickly select enough outstanding talents, the federal government has decided to separate the examinations for exceptionally talented candidates from those for ordinary candidates."

"Of course, the minimum requirement to become a core student is to be a Beast Tamer who has awakened a B-level Beast Taming talent."

"Even in our Tianyang No.1 High School, including you, there are only seven core students."

"In the entire Tianyang City, there are a total of seven Beast Tamer High Schools, and the number of core students does not exceed thirty."

"It is estimated that it will take three days to determine the rankings of all the students."

"As for your exceptional ability, taking first place will be a piece of cake. The rest of the students will have to compete for the rankings after first place."

Su Yuan nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Since Wang Gang himself said that the first-place prize was tempting, such a prize must be extraordinary.

Wang Gang is a genuine Lord-level Beastmaster.

The only rewards that could tempt even a lord-level beast tamer are fifth-tier beast taming materials, or perfect-quality beast eggs and beast cubs.

Either way, it would be an amazing fortune for Su Yuan!

"Thank you for the principal's arrangement."

Su Yuan said gratefully.

Wang Gang smiled, patted Su Yuan on the shoulder, and encouraged him:

"You must have suffered a lot these past few days while you were out there. Go back and get some rest, recharge your energy, and prepare for the college entrance exam."

"With this year's college entrance examination reform, you kids will be facing top geniuses from all over the country, including S-level geniuses and even more powerful talents."

"While you are currently very strong, you are not yet at the point where you can look down on all the other candidates."

"Of course, I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely achieve excellent results."

"If you need any help, feel free to come to me anytime."

Upon hearing Wang Gang's words, Su Yuan immediately patted his chest and assured him:

"Don't worry, Principal, I will definitely bring glory to Tianyang No. 1 High School and to Tianyang City!"

"Even if I have to compete with the nation's elite in this college entrance exam, I'm absolutely not afraid!"

After saying that, he bid farewell to Wang Gang and left the principal's office.

After saying goodbye to the principal, Su Yuan walked towards his classroom.

"Competing against geniuses from all over the country ahead of schedule, that's really something to look forward to!"

"I hope it won't disappoint me!"

On the way, Su Yuan sighed softly, a hint of anticipation on his face.
