Feng Wu probably wouldn’t blink even if she were first. That was how outstanding she was.
The names of the last ten students appeared on the screen one after another.
4th was Pei Si.
WHAT?!
The students were astonished when Pei Si’s name showed up.
How…
That was Pei Si!
She used to be second on the billboard, but she had dropped two places!
That meant that Feng Wu was better than her!
Sun Jingyu was third.
“Ssss…”
Everyone drew in their breaths.
Sun Jingyu was the class president and had always been the most capable student of Class E. She was third now.
“That is to say, Feng Wu is one of the top two students!”
“She’s only been here for a few days, and she’s already surpassed last month’s best student!”
“Why did they call her useless?! Who said that? Fess up now!”
…
Many people became Feng Wu’s fans immediately after realizing that she outranked Sun Jingyu, who had originally been the class’s top student.
The naysayers kept moving away from their old group to join the neutral one.
100, 200, 300…
There had been 500 of them at first, but there were only 250 left now.
The neutral students were gradually joining the fans as well.
The number of fans grew to 500.
Feng Wu wasn’t aware of any of this.
She stood there with her hands behind her back as if none of this concerned her.
It didn’t.
She put all her effort into cultivating and improving her skills.
Even standing in the middle of the square with all eyes on her, she could still cultivate in her head.
Around her, everyone was busy making bets.
“Do you think Feng Wu will be first?”
“Not in a million years! We still have Gu Xingyuan!”
“That’s right. His team won first place, and he’s the best team member this time. Feng Wu can’t beat that!”
Zhao Zhen said, “That’s because Xiao Wu went to challenge Wang Junwen in Class D and didn’t have time to hunt!”
But many people ignored her.
In the end, almost everyone believed that Gu Xingyuan would be first.
Gu Xingyuan thought the same.
He smiled confidently and waited for his name to come out. He was going to crush Feng Wu.
The second last name came out while everyone watched the screen in excitement.
Gu Xingyuan.
No one could misread that name.
The moment he saw his name, Gu Xingyuan felt as if someone had punched him in the head, making him dizzy.
Second.
He was second.
How was that possible?
He had been too confident, and couldn’t accept the result.
Meanwhile…
Everyone remained perfectly silent.
They held their breaths.
Just like Gu Xingyuan, they found it hard to believe.
Sun Jingyu and Pei Si were about the only people who weren’t surprised.
Zhao Zhen covered her mouth and almost screamed.
“If Gu Xingyuan is second, that means that the top student is…”
The answer couldn’t be any more obvious.
