"Then Director Cheng, even if one point is deducted, the first place in this qualification test will be Yu Tianlu." Cao Huaxue said.
Cheng Kezhao nodded: "This is the first time in the history of the Royal Academy that such a strong candidate comes out of the ordinary examination room! Let him rank first. It's time to put some pressure on those wealthy families."
"Okay, this kid will definitely steal the show this time." Cao Huaxue said casually, "It's really rare that he can still get first place when he is two years younger than other candidates."
"Wait!" Cheng Kezhao's expression changed, "Teacher Cao, what did you just say?"
"What's wrong, Director Cheng?" Cao Huaxue was stunned, "I said that this child Yu Tianlu is incredibly talented. He was the first in the exam at the age of 8."
"He is only eight years old!" All the teachers present exclaimed.
"Is this child really from a small place like Muyang Town? Is he an orphan from a wealthy family?" Wang Liming asked.
"With unparalleled strength, the little girl from the Xiang family last year can match him, right?" Feng County citizen said, "I remember that the girl was eight years old when she came in last year, and she also broke into the top three."
"This is really a blessing for the Royal Academy! Director Cheng, don't you think so?" Zhu Xuefeng looked at Cheng Kezhao excitedly.
Unexpectedly, there was no joy on Cheng Kezhao's face at this time. His expression was solemn, as if he was deep in thought.
Seeing Cheng Kezhao like this, all the teachers were a little confused.
"Director Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Cao Huaxue asked tentatively.
"Eight years old, only eight years old? This kind of knowledge alone cannot be achieved by ordinary people even at the age of twenty. His talent is unique even in the entire history of the Royal Academy." Cheng Kezhao said seriously, "So this time..."
"How is it?" Everyone's eyes turned to Cheng Kezhao.
"So we must not let him get first place this time!"
"What?"
As soon as Cheng Kezhao said this, the whole place was in an uproar.
The marking teachers didn't calm down for a while.
"Director Cheng, why are you doing this?" Cao Huaxue was a little angry, "Do you just look down on this candidate who came out of the ordinary examination room?"
"It's not that we look down on it, on the contrary, it's because we have to attach great importance to this child, so we can't let him become the number one." Cheng Kezhao said, "If he was ten years old, I could barely let him sit in the number one position. But he Only eight years old!"
"Director Cheng, even I can't understand you now." Zhu Xuefeng also said.
"You teachers who are locked up in an ivory tower!" Cheng Kezhao looked at the teachers and shook his head, "It seems that you people still don't understand the worldly ways!"
"Director Cheng, does the admission of students have anything to do with worldliness?" Cao Huaxue asked curiously.
"If this child is ten years old, as long as we don't release his test papers, this child's talent is still within the recognition range of the major families. But now he is only eight years old! We also It is impossible to tamper with his age." Cheng Kezhao said, "If we put him first, this eight-year-old child will definitely become the target of public criticism. At that time, it will hinder his growth. If he is targeted by those aristocratic families, he may even die. They’re all gone!”
Cheng Kezhao's words also silenced the teachers present.
The teachers of the Royal Academy are also very aware of the power of aristocratic families. There are many powerful promoters behind their ability to become teachers at the top universities in the country.
In order to consolidate their power, those aristocratic families spared no effort in recruiting talents.
The emergence of a grassroots talent like Yu Tianlu is naturally the focus of competition among aristocratic families. But now it seems that this child's defiance is beyond imagination, and even the aristocratic family may not be able to control it.
Once it cannot be controlled, destroying it seems to be an option without hesitation.
In the long history of Huaxu Kingdom, such examples are common.
"Director Cheng, where do you plan to place this child?" Cao Huaxue asked tentatively, "Top three?"
Cheng Kezhao shook his head.
"What about the top five?"
Cheng Kezhao still said nothing.
"The top ten or the top twenty are enough, right? How about the first fifty..." Cao Huaxue was anxious, "If you don't even give the top one hundred, then it seems impossible to justify it!"
You must know that this qualification examination is not only for selecting places to participate in the final examination, but also for stratifying candidates.
There is a fundamental difference between the top 100 candidates and the bottom 100 candidates.
You must know that in order to allow talented people to enter the Royal Academy as much as possible, the top 100 candidates will receive special care. Even after enrolling, the best resources will be invested.
On the other hand, the last 100 candidates will be deprived of a lot of resources, and it is almost a state of resignation.
Although somewhat unfair, this is the practice of the Royal Academy. Their top management believes that any resource is limited. This world is like a huge, hierarchical forest. Only by following the laws of the jungle can the most powerful talents be cultivated.
Cao Huaxue doesn't want people like Yu Tianlu to lose this privilege. This is also her limit as a teacher.
But even at this final limit, Cheng Kezhao still shook his head.
"Even if there are a hundred people, it still won't work!" Cheng Kezhao said very firmly.
"Director Cheng, what you did has chilled the hearts of those poor disciples!" Cao Huaxue said angrily, "If you persist in your opinion, I will complain to you directly to the higher-ups of the college!"
"Teacher Cao!" Seeing this, Zhu Xuefeng said quickly, "Teacher Cao, don't get excited yet. I believe Director Cheng should have his own arrangements."
Cao Huaxue sat down angrily.
"Teacher Cao, don't worry. How could I let such a talented child run away?" Cheng Kezhao said, "As long as he enters our college, all resources will be tilted toward him. I have already made arrangements. And it will also prevent the various aristocratic families from having too much resistance."
"Okay! Director Cheng, I hope you keep your promise!" Cao Huaxue said angrily.
It seems that Cao Huaxue has regarded Yu Tianlu as his student.
Because Yu Tianlu's uproar had such a huge impact, it took these marking teachers a lot of time to calm down.
Soon the intense grading work was carried out in an orderly manner again.
But this time, the test papers coming out of the ordinary examination room were no longer as eye-catching as Yu Tianlu's.
Cao Huaxue flipped through the test papers and kept shaking his head.
"Alas! It's this Yu Tianlu who directly raised the standard of the papers so much. Looking at these test papers, they are not on the same level at all. It's really uncomfortable!"
"There's no way, it's rare to see someone like Yu Tianlu in a hundred years!" Cheng Kezhao asked, "Are there any other objects of focus in ordinary examination rooms?"
"Director Cheng, this seems to be okay!" At this time, a teacher named Song Lu said and handed the test paper into Cheng Kezhao's hands, "The objective questions are about the same level as those of the children of aristocratic families. Although the subjective questions are ordinary, But it’s passable.”
"Let me take a look!" Cheng Kezhao took the test paper and looked at it for a while and said, "The answers to these questions are OK! But the language seems to be very businesslike. Where does this child come from?"
"His name is Wu Lianzhi!"
"Wu Lianzhi? His surname is Wu? I remember there is a gang in the provincial capital whose name has the character "五" in it!" Cheng Kezhao thought for a while and said.
"Director Cheng is talking about the 'Wulian Gang'!" Feng County residents said with a smile.
"It seems to be called this name. Wu Lien Chi, 'Wu Lien Gang'? Could it be..."
"Director Cheng, just as you thought, this kid is the young gang leader of the 'Wulian Gang'." Feng County citizen replied.
"How can our Royal Academy accept the young leader of a gang, a gangster like this?" Wang Liming said angrily, "What if we accept him and lead the children in our school?"
"Teacher Wang, how can you treat him so differently?" Feng County residents were a little unhappy. "This child's score has also exceeded the qualifying test score. And he has been taking the test for three consecutive years!"
"What? This kid has been taking the exam for three years?" Cheng Kezhao said in surprise.
"Yes, I have been paying attention to this child for three years. He was only one breath away in the first three times. I thought he would give up. Who knew that he would still participate in the final year and pass the score line?" Feng County Citizen He said very seriously, "I don't want this perseverance to be buried!"
"Then let him take the formal exam!" Cheng Kezhao said without hesitation.
"Director Cheng, but he is a gang member!" Wang Liming said worriedly.
"What about gang members? As long as they are talented students, our college will accept them!" Cheng Kezhao said, "Do you still want to watch that school take them all away?"
"This..." After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.
"How high can Wu Lianzhi be ranked?" Cheng Kezhao asked.
"With this score now, it can be ranked 105th. It is better than many children from aristocratic families!" Cao Huaxue replied.
"Yes, yes. Teacher Cao, it seems that this child should be a key training target in your class!" Cheng Kezhao nodded.
"Wow! I have another test paper here from Muyang Town!" a marking teacher exclaimed.
"It's from Muyang Town again!" The attention of other marking teachers was instantly attracted.
With Yu Tianlu, the pearl from Muyang Town, in front of them, these teachers from the Royal Academy suddenly had a good impression of this unknown Muyang Town.
Seeing that there were more candidates coming out of Muyang Town, they couldn't help but have a lot of hopes.
However, after the objective questions were approved, Cao Huaxue's face was full of disappointment.
"This child's score is pretty good, but he can only be ranked in the 400s. It's a bit dangerous to be shortlisted for the official exam with this score!"
"For someone from a small place, it's pretty good to achieve this result. Not everyone is as evil as that Yu Tianlu. This...by the way, what's the name of this candidate?" Wang Liming asked.
"Yan Yue, the information shows that he seems to know Yu Tianlu."
"Okay, this child's subjective test scores are also out." Song Lu said after correcting the test paper.
"How is it? Is this child okay?" Cheng Kezhao asked quickly.
"Alas! There is a huge difference between him and Yu Tianlu!" Song Lu shook his head, "It's like a crow compared to a phoenix!"
"We know the gap is big, so his final overall score..."
"We have reached the 500 mark, and we are no longer qualified to take the formal exam this time." Song Lu said helplessly.
"Is it really that bad?" Cheng Kezhao quickly took the test paper and read it over. In the end, I had to agree with what Song Lu said, and to get this result, Song Lu was already merciful.
"Director Cheng, what should I do with this kid? Eliminate him?" Cao Huaxue asked.
"No!" Cheng Kezhao thought for a moment and said, "Keep him! Just put him in the last place to take the official exam."
