679: Chapter 55: Now the Top Scholar of the Academy 679: Chapter 55: Now the Top Scholar of the Academy “I am Chen Qingyi of Third Middle School.”
Chairman Chen introduced himself to An Jing: “An, I didn’t expect that the first task you perford for the school after scoring full marks in the Martial Test would be so astonishing.
Without a doubt, the position of the school’s top scholar is yours now.”
— Wow, I didn’t even know when I scored full marks in the Martial Test, and now I’m the top scholar of the academy too.
The next step is probably that I have actually been a mber of Third Middle School all along, just hidden as a secret trump card until recently officially recalled, right?
An Jing kept a straight face, but couldn’t help finding it amusing inside.
However, although Chairman Chen’s words were sowhat shocking, after a mont’s thought, An Jing wasn’t foolish and understood the reasons behind them.
The so-called pioneering war refers to the great battle they had experienced in the North Lake Swamp District.
Of course.
It wasn’t really a pioneering war.
But whether for Third Middle School, Xuanye City, Chairman Chen, or himself, everyone needed it to be.
As the second entrance to the Ancient Immortal Ruins located outside Chonggang Town in the North Lake Swamp District, Xuanye City’s Luofu Group initially wanted to develop secretly, hoping to launch a pioneering war when the conditions were ripe to take it into their own hands, thereby securing na, righteous cause, and benefits.
But obviously, other groups wouldn’t give them such a good opportunity, so currently, groups led by Shouyang Mountain have dispatched elite squads ahead of ti, covertly controlling Wilderness cultivators to occupy the Fortress Area and collaborating with Demon Spirits like Gan Yuan to quietly open the Cave Heaven Gate.
If the opening is successful, then before Xuanye City announces the pioneering war over the North Lake Swamp District, this Cave Heaven Gate would be considered a ‘free Cave Heaven Gate on no man’s land,’ giving Luofu Group no grounds for jurisdiction, unlike at Chonggang Town where they could balance the other groups.
Thus, the best outco for Luofu Group is to share the entrance to the North Lake Swamp District with other groups, and their control over the Ancient Immortal Ruins would be further weakened.
Now, the Cave Heaven Gate has indeed been opened.
Before the pioneering war.
So, can Luofu Group accept it?
Absolutely not!
As long as the group’s people aren’t foolish, they will definitely seek reasons and use thods to reverse this situation; whether reasonable or not, whether following procedures or not, those are secondary issues.
After all, as long as there is a pretext, once the war is approved after the fact, historical records can be rewritten, claiming that the North Lake Swamp District has always been under the control of Xuanye City, and An Xuan is a representative of Xuanye City.
Chairman Chen is well aware of this.
Thus, when the Cave Heaven Gate was opened, he had already inford the headquarters of Luofu Group, directly cross-departntally declaring that An Jing’s Martial Test team were the combatants of the pioneering war, and that the actions of Third Middle School in hiring the Steel Skeleton rcenary Corps were to assist in the pioneering war as Wilderness auxiliaries—They had received group orders, had been granted authority by Xuanye City, and had an official charter, organization, and support for the exploring team!
Not just that, he, Chairman Chen Qingyi, as well as the entire Jingwei Academy of Third Middle School, were all supporters and participants of this pioneering war, which can be seen from the fact that Third Middle School mobilized all of its industry strength, even including this great chairman personally taking action to defeat the Kun Demon, serving as evidence!
Understanding this, An Jing knew that the so-called ‘jump over and fast sword’ was the most reasonable approach.
“All of this is what I, as the top scholar of Third Middle School, should do.”
Therefore, without any hesitation, An Jing straightforwardly said: “Here I have good news to report to Chairman Chen: fortunately, I have not failed in my mission.
The Cave Heaven Gate in the North Lake Swamp District was ultimately opened by using the Great Void Secret Technique.”
“Is that so?”
Chairman Chen’s eyes glead with sharpness: “Who can prove that?”
“Everyone.”
An Jing turned around, looking at those who were gradually waking up, and smiled, “They all witnessed that scene.”
Although he was blatantly lying, as nobody saw An Jing opening the gate to Cave Heaven, the truth was actually the least important thing, especially since An Jing was indeed the last one to open the gate to Great Void—The trio from Gan Yuan Sea was already gone, and even if they were here, they wouldn’t contest this point.
Hearing such decisive words, Chairman Chen imdiately laughed, his face appearing even more benevolent, “It has been clear since the written test that you have deeply studied the skills of Great Void Dongtian, truly a genius of our Luofu Xuanye City!”
“You faced danger unflinchingly, during the exploration war you defended against the Kun Demon invasion, and also opened the gate to the Great Void at the most critical mont, indeed earning you the primary credit for this war—People from Cave Heaven will co to handle the affairs, and we will return once they arrive.”
“Rest assured, I am here, and the rits won’t miss us.”
As a descendant of the Cave Heaven bloodline, if you have to say whether Chen Qingyi has any substantive privileges, there actually aren’t many, but in front of him, the whole group has to reason.
The deeds were done by them; hence logically, the rits couldn’t possibly belong to anyone else.
This may sound natural, but if it weren’t for the Luofu Cave Heaven bloodline, even the reasons written clearly might not be adhered to.
Having such a director can indeed provide shelter and avoid many troubles.
“Then I thank the Director.”
An Jing bowed, then turned his head, looking at his teammates behind him: “But my teammates…”
“They are all ritorious.”
Chairman Chen waved his hand grandly, and Mrs.
Guang along with Zhang Zhuo Xu Yue, three mbers of Third Middle School, were relocated behind him: “Exactly for this reason, they will have to be inconvenienced temporarily and stay in the ruins to bear witness.”
“If that’s the case,” An Jing said, “then there’s no problem.”
By now, everyone else had also woken up, Steel Skeleton and Qu Tong looked at An Jing and then at Chairman Chen.
Although they were unclear about what had happened, they at least knew their own state was no longer in danger.
Given the circumstances, staying a while longer in the Ancient Immortal Ruins didn’t matter.
As for the ‘Seven-Returning Great Pill’ given by Chairman Chen…
An Jing received it, but did not imdiately consu it.
This Seven-Returning Great Pill was rainbow-hued, its Qi was like the sun, containing a core of True Yuan Primordial Qi, extrely pure, definitely a top-tier substance among the best, helpful in solidifying the Immortal Foundation, nurturing the body and Divine Sense, indeed as Chairman Chen had said, not just for Foundation Establishnt, but even useful during breakthroughs to the Purple Mansion, to recuperate the Soul and Spirit and the physical body, unmistakably costly.
Moreover, it was a product of Xuandu Mountain, even Subdue Evil couldn’t help but comnt, “It lacks any trace of pill toxin, whether it was removed post-creation or achieved Innate Pill Perfection, the logistical skill in Tianyuan Realm is genuinely impressive.”
“But it has a little backdoor.”
Yet, An Jing sharply noticed that, although the elixir was excellent, it contained a stipulation—once its Essence Qi rged into the body, while enhancing one’s Divine Sense and physical body, it would also conduct a ‘thorough probe’ of oneself, able to detect exact capabilities, any hidden injuries, Dark Hands, and lurking Demonic Qi.
