Chapter 253: Arousing Displeasure

Liu Yan had obtained the first place and the sacrificial gemstone of the altar of color, the darkness gemstone. When the students of Gifted Academy saw this scene, they were all a little shocked. At the same time, they also felt a little humiliated.
After all, Liu Yan wasn’t a student of the Gifted Academy, but a student of the Lighthouse Academy.
For an exchange student to obtain first place and the Dark Night Gem, it was as if the students of the Gifted Academy were slapped in the face.
“How is this Liu Yan so strong? The highest score on our side is only 180 points, and he got 200 points.”
“Not only that, but I also heard from Mr. Chu Xuan just now that Liu Yan’s performance was extremely outstanding. He would get an even higher score if the full score were not 200 points.”
“The two monsters of our academy, Alan Smith and Xu Han, have gone to Lighthouse Academy. If they were still around, they wouldn’t have allowed Liu Yan to obtain the first place.”
“No matter what, we can’t let Liu Yan continue to obtain first place. It would be too embarrassing for us. It would make it seem like our Gifted Academy has no powerhouse.”
“…”
The Gifted Academy’s students discussed amongst themselves. They were dissatisfied with Liu Yan’s score.
After that, Murakami and a group of teachers led the students down the stairway.
The sun was setting. The students followed the teachers from the stairway to Gifted Academy.
On the other side, the other students led by the teachers from the Gifted Academy also returned one after another.
They were all going to the fourth level of the Tower for the trial in the four altars.
But because the altars were huge, they entered the trial from different directions.
As for the Lighthouse Academy, they were going to enter directly from the other side.
After returning to the Gifted Academy, Liu Yan met Murong Xue, Chu Long, and Luo Qingcheng. They met up and went to the Gifted Academy cafeteria to eat together.
Chu Long blinked her big eyes. She looked at Liu Yan with a happy face and said with a smile, “Brother Liu Yan, I heard that you scored a full score of 200 points and got the first place in today’s trial. You also obtained the sacrificial gemstone of the altar of color, the Dark Night Gemstone!”
Chu Long was thrilled when she heard that Liu Yan got the first place.
Liu Yan smiled and also looked at the few women, asking about the trial situation of the three women.
Although Chu Long’s combat strength was average, she could barely deal with a level 30 fierce beast. Then, her luck was not bad. She encountered a fierce beast of average size and successfully killed it. She got a final score of 140 points.
Hundred and forty points were above average. It was not particularly outstanding, but it was definitely not bad. As long as Chu Long maintained her spirit, she still had a great chance of passing the trial on the fourth level of the Tower.
As for Murong Xue, although her combat strength was the strongest among the three women, she did not have any special skill that could find a fierce beast in complete darkness. She could only try her luck.
In the end, Murong Xue’s luck was not very good. She met a fierce beast the size of a human, so her score was naturally average, only 100 points. She passed the trial of the altar of color, but her score was relatively low. She had to work harder in the subsequent trials.
On the contrary, the ordinary Luo Qingcheng actually got a high score of 170 points.
Liu Yan knew it was not easy to find a small fierce beast. In addition, the wound would not be small, so the score would not be too high.
Luo Qingcheng could get a high score of 170 points. It was not just luck. She must have a unique method.
Liu Yan could not help but look at Luo Qingcheng curiously and asked, “I didn’t expect that your score was not low. How did you do that?”
Chu Long and Murong Xue also looked at Luo Qingcheng curiously. Although the two of them had passed the first trial, their scores were relatively average. Naturally, they could not compare to Luo Qingcheng’s high score. The two girls were somewhat envious of Luo Qingcheng but were also curious about how Luo Qingcheng did it.
Luo Qingcheng looked at her curious friends. She smiled and said, “You guys have forgotten that although I can not find the fierce beast in the absolute darkness with my talent skill Deception, I can make them come to me. Then, with the help of some special skills I learned from the Command School, I can distinguish the size of these fierce beasts. I will pick the smallest one and quickly finish it off. That’s how I got a high score.”
When Liu Yan and the others heard this, they immediately understood.
Luo Qingcheng’s combat strength was relatively average. One could say that she had almost no combat strength. She was about the same as Chu Long, who was a priest.
However, Luo Qingcheng’s talent was relatively special. In addition to the skills she learned in the Command School, all of them had special functions.
In this way, Luo Qingcheng could obtain a high score in the trial on the fourth level of the Tower.
At this moment, Chu Long also asked with some doubts, “Will the score affect our performance? I thought as long as we pass the trial, it will be fine. Or is the higher the score better?”
Liu Yan and Murong Xue also had some doubts when they heard this.
Before this, they only knew that the high score would affect the federation government’s allocation of funds and resources to their respective academies in the future. It was crucial for the academies.
As for the individual students, the higher the score, the more resources they would be able to obtain in the higher levels of the Tower. They would be able to obtain more cultivation resources. They would be able to cultivate better and become an expert more easily.
However, the academy did not elaborate on the specific details.
Luo Qingcheng heard this. She smiled mysteriously and said, “I don’t know the details yet, but I know something. It will affect our cultivation at the higher levels in the Tower. Currently, it will have a huge impact. Those with a total score of 900 or more will receive a pretty good reward. The first place could receive the mysterious reward given by the principal!”
When the rest heard this, they could not help but feel a little expectant.
Liu Yan was even more clear that the principals of Lighthouse Academy and Gifted Academy had incredible strength. Only the extraordinary student could get the mysterious reward from them.
As for the current situation of Alan Smith and Xu Han, who were currently leading the trial at the Lighthouse Academy, Liu Yan wasn’t too clear about it.
However, Liu Yan felt that as long as he did his best, it would be enough. In the first round of the trial, Liu Yan had done his best and obtained full marks.
After they finished eating in the cafeteria, they didn’t stay any longer and returned to their respective dormitories.
In the Gifted Academy’s cafeteria, they could always feel the enmity of the students around them.
Although they didn’t care about it and didn’t need to be afraid, it was still a little irritating.
Furthermore, they needed to rest well and continue preparing for tomorrow’s trial.
At the same time, in the Gifted Academy’s office on the other side.
A few teachers from the Gifted academy were looking for Principal Murakami to have a discussion.
The leading teacher with a big beard revealed a displeased expression. He said, “Mr. Murakami, this Liu Yan’s performance is too eye-catching. If he continues to perform so well in the future and eventually becomes the number one in our Gifted Academy, this would be too embarrassing. The reputation of Gifted Academy would be ruined.”
When Chu Xuan heard this, he slightly frowned and said, “You are right. However, Liu Yan does have outstanding strength. We can’t stop him, right?”
