Chapter 189 Chu Yunfan Who Was the Center of Attention
Although it was the tail-end of winter, it was spring in the city. Dappled sunlight shone through the leaves, revealing light and shadows.
Many students had already gathered on the sports field of Yucai High. They were all students of Yucai High, and they were extremely noisy. Many tables, chairs, and futons have been set up at the edge of the field. These were the seats that had been prepared for the representatives of the schools.
When Chu Yunfan and his classmates arrived at the field, they saw that most had already arrived. Only they and No. 25 High were left. They had been the last ones to be notified. Their seats were at the very back, and opposite them were the top 20 from No. 25 High. They were seated according to last year’s rankings.
Reality could not be more real at that point.
On the other side of the field were the seats for Yucai High. As the organizers of the event, they were given the main seats. On either side of them were the students of No. 5 and No. 7 High, facing each other from afar.
Then there were the focus schools, the ordinary middle schools, etcetera. And this continued all the way down, all the way to No. 13 and No. 25 High which were ranked last.
A huge ring had been erected in the middle of the field. It was to be used to exchange pointers between the experts of the various schools. This exchange of pointers was done by the students, so teachers would not appear on the field. They would only watch from afar and deal with any unexpected matters that may arise. The students of the various schools were doing this amongst themselves.
Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged on a futon. Next to him was Ou Yang, then Tang Siyu, and then Zhang Teng. They were seated according to the rankings from the last final exam.
“All of them are so strong. Especially the students from No. 5, No. 7, and Yucai High. Their strength is obvious!” a student from No. 13 High said softly.
The students present were the strongest students in the Yunning District. But there was clearly a gap between the strength of each school. Among them, the students from No. 5, No. 7, and Yucai High were the strongest. The strength of each student could even be seen with the naked eye.
“Everyone, welcome to Yucai High. I hope that everyone will be able to show off their strengths, your style, and your standard at today’s exchange meet!” a student from Yucai High stepped out of the crowd and boomed.
Although he did not use much strength, his voice resonated so loudly that it could be heard by the entire field.
The faces of the students who really knew what was going on changed.
“What powerful True Energy. Just by using the resonance of True Energy, he managed to spread his voice across the entire field. The talent of Yucai High, Ran Jun, really lives up to his reputation,” Zhang Teng said as his face twitched slightly.
Only those who were in the know understood the meaning behind Ran Jun’s move.
“He’s even stronger than last year,” Ou Yang said with a solemn expression.
“Ran Jun?” Chu Yunfan asked with some doubt. He could also tell that Ran Jun was very strong
“Yes.” Ou Yang nodded. “Let me put it this way. Although many regarded me as the leading figure of our school, in actuality, I’m not ranked in the Yunning District. I can’t even squeeze into the top ten. And among the many students in the Yunning District, there are three strong contenders.
“One of them is Ran Jun from Yucai High. And look at the most beautiful girl from No. 5 High. She’s the leading figure and school belle of No. 5 High, Tong Xinran.”
Chu Yunfan looked over when he heard that. Indeed, a girl was sitting quietly amongst the students of No. 5 High. From afar, she gave off an aura of calm and peace. But under this girl’s quiet exterior, Chu Yunfan could feel that there was a hidden explosive power. However, it was hidden very deeply. Ordinary people would not be able to see it.
“There’s also the number 1 of No. 7 High, Yu Xinyuan. He’s the toughest looking one over there,” Ou Yang said as he pointed at No. 7 High.
Chu Yunfan took a look and indeed, the person who sat at the head seat of No. 7 High was a rough-looking man who was a head taller than ordinary people.
“These three are the top in the Yunning District. They are known as students who will definitely be admitted to Federation University. Before they have even taken the exam, professors from Federation University expressed their interest in them. Once they’re admitted, they’ll be taken in by those professors and teachers,” Ou Yang said, his eyes filled with envy.
Whether it was liberal arts or martial arts, professors from Federation University all had unimaginable statuses within society. Any one of them could talk to the leaders of Calm Ocean City on equal footing. Many human society’s elites came from Federation University, and those elites were the former students of these teachers and professors.
And respecting teachers was a tradition of the Chinese. One could imagine the networks of these professors and teachers. To be valued by one of the professors meant a bright future.
Of course, Ou Yang was envious. He only had a chance of passing, but these three would definitely pass.
Chu Yunfan thought of his cousin, Chu Yuntian, whom he had not seen for a long time. Chu Yuntian was also someone who had been recommended by Federation University. What kind of strength did he have?
Originally, Chu Yunfan did not even have the right to look at Chu Yuntian’s back. However, everything was different now.
“Other than that, the other students are not to be underestimated,” Ou Yang said, “Even if they are not as strong as those three, the other students of No. 5, No. 7, and Yucai High are also very strong!”
Suddenly, Zhang Teng opened his mouth and said, “I’ve checked this morning. The top 20 students of these three focus high schools are more or less all at the seventh level of the Qi Sea Stage and above. The top 10 are mostly at the eighth level.”
Only now did everyone know what Zhang Teng had got up to when he went to meet his friends earlier. He must have gone to get information. Only then did they look at him in a new light. For Zhang Teng to be able to stand firm in the school for so many years, it was indeed because he was capable.
“As for the other schools, it’s not a big problem. The top 20 are mostly at the sixth level, and there are also some at the peak of the fifth. The top few are all at the seventh. With our strength, we don’t have to be afraid,” Zhang Teng continued his report.
Everyone could tell from his words that No. 5, No. 7, and Yucai High were obviously stronger than the other schools.
Suddenly, Chu Yunfan felt many gazes fall on him. One of the gazes from No. 7 High was particularly intriguing. It was Yu Xinyuan whom Ou Yang had mentioned.
Chu Yunfan just smiled faintly at the other party. On the head seat of No. 7 High, Yu Xinyuan saw Chu Yunfan looking at him fearlessly. He could not help but reveal a smile. “Interesting!”
