Not long after, the classroom gradually filled up. All the students occasionally glanced secretly at Chen Jiujun, who was sitting by the aisle, but didn't dare to whisper in the classroom.
When the bell rang, horoom teacher Yang Jun walked in with a glowing face, imdiately looking at Chen Jiujun and nodding with a smile.
"Okay, students. The one-month winter break has passed. It's ti to get serious, as the intense and exciting college entrance exam season will last all the way until June."
On the first day of the new sester, it was essential to build psychological resilience, especially for the crucial second sester of senior year.
Although Yang Jun was relatively young among the teachers, he had ample experience leading classes and rich teaching skills. After his speech, everyone in the class felt the tension and regained their usual study mode.
"By the way, I think you all know that Jiu Jun stood out in the special admission selection for Wanzhou Academy and successfully beca a special admissions student of Wanzhou."
Yang Jun gestured for Chen Jiujun to co up, "Jiu Jun, co, share your experience with everyone. Or do you have anything you want to say to your classmates?"
The classmates imdiately got excited.
"Great! The experience of a Wanzhou special admissions student. It must be very useful!"
"I wonder what kinds of tests Wanzhou University's special admission exams have. I'm really curious and want to practice accordingly."
"Be quiet, Chen Jiujun is coming up. Listen carefully and take good notes!"
"..."
The students whispered, with quite a few taking out notebooks to take notes diligently.
Chen Jiujun walked a few steps to stand beside Yang Jun and looked at his classmates below. After a mont of contemplation, he said, "Honestly, everyone here is far too behind the geniuses of top universities. Even if you practice day and night, no one can get into a top school.
Give up those baseless illusions. Recognize your own strength and position. Maybe you can get into a good second-tier college."
Chen Jiujun's words instantly made the room fall silent. Even Yang Jun, beside him, was dumbfounded, not expecting such "bluntness" from Chen Jiujun.
In the next mont, the entire class exploded. While the girls were still silent, the boys couldn't hold back and each stood up shouting angrily.
"Chen Jiujun, aren't you a bit too arrogant..."
"Yeah, what's with that attitude? Being a special admissions student makes you so proud?"
"What the hell, really..."
"..."
Chen Jiujun seed not to hear them, nodding to Yang Jun before returning to his seat.
He didn't care how these diocrities in the class viewed or thought of him. What he cared about were those geniuses outside who were on par with him!
Although Yang Jun felt a bit embarrassed, he quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, quiet down!" Opening his hands to signal everyone to stop, Yang Jun cleared his throat and said, "Jiu Jun wants to give everyone a wake-up call. There are indeed many geniuses out there. If you remain grounded and work harder, it's not impossible to get into a top university in the future..."
Su Yuan saw that Jiang Jun, sitting beside him, remained calm and asked curiously, "You have always wanted to get into Shuzhou College. Don't you get angry at what he just said?"
Jiang Jun replied indifferently, "Whether I can get into a top university is determined by myself. It's not sothing Chen Jiujun can negate with a few words."
Jiang Jun's gaze was firm and confident, unaffected by Chen Jiujun's words in the slightest.
Su Yuan nodded secretly. Without considering strength, Jiang Jun's mindset alone already surpassed most people.
A Star Apprentice Ninth Rank with a mid-grade green Soul Card. If she worked hard, there was still a significant chance to get into Shuzhou College.
"What about you? Aren't you bothered? After all, you used to be the top genius at Fourth High." Jiang Jun pondered briefly before adding, "Even if it was just a brief mont of glory."
"I don't care." Su Yuan chuckled and shook his head. This girl, sharp with her words without any sign.
In Su Yuan's opinion, Chen Jiujun was a bit conceited, especially after becoming a special admissions student of Wanzhou Academy. Nevertheless, what he had just said wasn't entirely wrong. He was rely stating a reality that most people in the class didn't want to hear.
The day quickly passed with Star Beast Atlas Class, Cultivation Class, Combat Training... the typical high school life.
Nearing six o'clock, just before Teacher Wang Xiuyun was about to announce the end of the last Blue Sea General Language class, Yang Jun returned to the classroom.
"Today's lesson ends here. Teacher Yang has sothing to tell you about tomorrow's joint trial." Wang Xiuyun tidied her teaching materials and pumped her fist to cheer everyone up, "Good luck!"
"Thank you, Teacher Wang!"
Wang Xiuyun nodded, then walked out of the classroom, handing the lectern over to Yang Jun.
Yang Jun spoke slowly, "The joint trial will be conducted in the Rainforest Secret Realm in Guangchuan City, as in previous years. It will last two days and one night.
I've ntioned the precautions many tis, so I won't repeat them. However, I'll synchronize the latest list of participants in the joint trial again.
This ti, our class participants are Chen Jiujun, Jiang Jun, Zhao Wan, Li Pan... Ren Junqi, and... Su Yuan, totaling 28."
"Su Yuan?" Sitting by the aisle, Chen Jiujun looked at Su Yuan in surprise, "I didn't expect he finally awakened. I hadn't noticed before.
But awakening at this ti is too late. He's no longer an opponent that needs my attention. The geniuses who were also admitted through special admissions are my focus."
Chen Jiujun didn't look any longer and shook his head, withdrawing his gaze.
Once, Su Yuan's breakthrough to Star Apprentice Sixth Stage could be described as stunning.
No one expected this boy from an ordinary family to be the first to advance to the Sixth Stage.
Chen Jiujun, the "Star second generation," had always been arrogant and didn't regard others. How could he accept a civilian surpassing him?
So, he worked harder and followed up, completing his breakthrough half a month after Su Yuan did.
But this ti, he had lost. Chen Jiujun was determined to awaken his Soul Card early and advance to Seventh Stage to prove he was more talented than Su Yuan!
However, no one anticipated that Su Yuan couldn't awaken the Star Card for a long ti, diminishing. Without Chen Jiujun needing to exert effort, Su Yuan had already stalled and was surpassed.
This left Chen Jiujun feeling both regretful and disdainful.
It was rare to et soone in the school who could cultivate faster than him, but it turned out to be this?
Yang Jun smiled and nodded at Su Yuan. This student had always been one of his favorites. Awakening at this ti still provided a chance of getting into a second-tier college. He just hadn't had ti to check what Soul Card Su Yuan had awakened, and would have to see after this trial.
