An Unexpected Result

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhao Zhongyue slowly stood up, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"Everyone, after three days of competition, we have witnessed the strength of this year's genius students in Tianyang City."

"After careful consideration, I hereby announce the rankings of the top five in the first Tianyang City Core Student Ranking Competition!"

The top five rankings of the first core trainees in Tianyang City are as follows!

"Fifth place, Jiang Cheng from Tianyang No. 7 Middle School!"

"Fourth place, Li Ming from Tianyang No.1 Middle School!"

"Third place: Shi Qianying, Tianyang No.1 Middle School!"

"Second place, Wei Hao from Tianyang No. 2 Middle School!"

Wow!!!

As Zhao Zhongyue's voice rang out, the entire square erupted in uproar.

As early as when Zhao Zhongyue announced that the fifth place was Jiang Cheng from Tianyang No. 7 Middle School, everyone was already suspicious.

After all, based on Jiang Cheng's grades, even if she wasn't as good as Li Ming, she should still have ranked fourth.

Jiang Cheng is a genius who made it to the semifinals.

When Zhao Zhongyue announced that Wei Hao, who had won the final victory in this competition, was only the second-ranked core student in Tianyang City, everyone's doubts could no longer be suppressed.

"What's going on? Why is Wei Hao, who won the finals, only the second core player in Tianyang City?"

"Wei Hao's strength is evident to all. All the core students in Tianyang City are his defeated opponents. How could he possibly be the second core student!"

"If Wei Hao is only second, then who deserves to be Tianyang City's number one core player?"

"There's something fishy going on! There must be something fishy going on!"

…………

The audience members surrounding the square below the stage kept raising their fists, gradually becoming indignant.

Not only the ordinary audience members, but even the principal in the VIP seats, the high-ranking members of various powerful families, and other lord-level experts looked at Zhao Zhongyue with disbelief.

However, they did not speak up, but waited quietly for Zhao Zhongyue to reveal the final core of Tianyang City.

After announcing that Wei Hao had won second place in Tianyang City, Zhao Zhongyue paused for a moment.

He observed everyone's reactions and listened to the discussions among the audience below. A slight smile played on Zhao Zhongyue's lips as he said:

"First place, Su Yuan from Tianyang No.1 Middle School!"

Wow!!!

Zhao Zhongyue's final words undoubtedly caused another huge uproar.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the VIP seats turned their attention to Su Yuan, who was to Zhao Zhongyue's left, and were deeply shocked.

They had initially wondered about Su Yuan's background and whether he had an unusual relationship with Zhao Zhongyue, as they watched him sit in the VIP section next to them.

Now that Zhao Zhongyue has designated Su Yuan as the top core member of Tianyang City, they can't help but suspect the relationship between Su Yuan and Zhao Zhongyue, and wonder if Zhao Zhongyue deliberately gave the first-place reward to Su Yuan.

If that's the case, then it's undoubtedly a cover-up!

Among them, the most vehement reaction came from Liu Ren, the principal of No. 2 Middle School.

"Mayor Zhao, this isn't right. We witnessed the strength and performance of all the contestants in the three-day simulation battle with our own eyes."

"Wei Hao won the final championship with his own strength. He should become the number one core player in Tianyang City."

"Su Yuan didn't even participate in the simulation battle, so what makes him think he has the ability to sit in the position of Tianyang's top core student?"

"Even if Su Yuan's identity is special, shouldn't things still be done according to the rules?"

"Otherwise, even if you are the mayor, doing this will damage your future prestige!"

Liu Ren's expression remained uncertain for a long time before he finally mustered up his courage, stood up, and questioned Zhao Zhongyue in front of everyone.

He didn't want to do this, but he had previously made a bet with Wang Gang using fifth-tier beast-taming resources.

Now that Wei Hao has failed to win the honor of being the top core player in Tianyang City, his loss is significant.

Of course, the main reason was that he recalled the scene of making a bet with Wang Gang and belatedly realized that he had fallen into Wang Gang's trap from the very beginning.

Wang Gang must have known this would happen all along; making a bet with him was a complete setup.

Thinking about all this, Liu Ren became furious.

Now, disregarding Zhao Zhongyue's strength and status, he stepped forward to raise questions.

As soon as Liu Ren spoke, everyone in the VIP seats held their breath and focused their attention on Zhao Zhongyue.

They were just as curious and needed Zhao Zhongyue to give them a reasonable explanation.

"Mayor Zhao, I disagree!"

"I'm the ultimate champion of this competition! Su Yuan didn't even participate, so why should he become Tianyang City's number one core player!"

"Mayor, I request permission to fight Su Yuan!"

"If he can defeat me, the title of Tianyang City's number one core member will be his; otherwise, I am the number one core member of Tianyang City!"

Just as Zhao Zhongyue was about to speak and explain, Wei Hao on the platform suddenly shouted at him, his face full of resentment.

"Mayor, let me play with him for a bit."

At this moment, Su Yuan, who was sitting upright, showed an indifferent smile and said to Zhao Zhongyue.

He had already anticipated this situation.

He was someone who didn't participate in the competition from beginning to end, but in the end, he won the title of Tianyang City's number one core player.

No matter how Zhao Zhongyue explains it, probably no one will believe him.

The only way is to show absolute strength and defeat Wei Hao, who has won the final championship.

In this way, no one would dare to question whether Su Yuan's title as the number one core member of Tianyang City was well-deserved.

"Fine, then go down and have a match with Wei Hao."

Upon hearing Su Yuan's voice, Zhao Zhongyue smiled and nodded.

He also knew that no explanation was as convincing as Su Yuan's overwhelming strength displayed in public.

"Su Yuan, we have reported your situation to the higher authorities in the past two days, and Kyushu Academy has made an exception and admitted you ahead of schedule."

"Moreover, I received information that the teachers from Kyushu Academy set off for Tianyang City yesterday, and they are probably observing your performance in secret now."

"You can confidently unleash your full strength and crush your opponent."

"The better you perform, the more attention you'll receive!"

Just as Su Yuan stood up to prepare for his battle on stage, Zhao Zhongyue's voice rang in his ears. At the same time, Zhao patted Su Yuan's shoulder, his eyes filled with encouragement.

Kyushu University! Early admission!

Although Zhao Zhongyue lowered his voice, everyone in the VIP seats was a powerful figure at the Lord level.

How keen their senses are!

Upon hearing what Zhao Zhongyue said, everyone, including Liu Ren, was shocked, and their pupils contracted sharply.

Kyushu Academy is the highest institution of learning in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even among all the beast tamer high schools in the Federation, it is the top-ranked institution.

The Nine Provinces Academy gathers the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, a gathering of talents, and possesses the best cultivation resources.

Even the most talented beast tamers from abroad will try every means to enter the Kyushu Academy for further study.

Even Wei Hao, who had just won the final, barely met the admission requirements for Kyushu Academy.

Since Su Yuan was able to be admitted to the Kyushu Academy ahead of schedule, his strength must be far superior to Wei Hao's!
