As the names on the countdown list popped up one by one, some of the candidates were happy and some were sad.
Many candidates had smiles on their faces, while others who had not seen their names were still uneasy.
Among them was Yan Yue, who was worried.
As time went by and more and more names were exposed, Yan Yue's heart sank to the bottom.
"It seems there is really no hope. Does it mean that I really can't study with Xiaolu this time?" Yan Yue shook his head helplessly.
Wu Lianzhi on the side also quickly encouraged: "Big guy, what are you afraid of? Didn't I tell you? If you can't pass the exam, just stay in the provincial capital and review for a year. I don't believe you can't pass the exam!"
"I know, it seems we can only take the last step."
Just when Yan Yue was sad, Yu Tianlu next to him suddenly shouted in surprise: "A Yue, look quickly, your name, your name! The 500th place in the end is actually you!"
"Xiao Lu, please stop comforting me. Is there anyone who happens to be the last one to be admitted? I have always been unlucky, so please stop making fun of me...!"
Turning his head, Yan Yue clearly saw that his name was at the bottom of the list, and he suddenly felt like he had entered heaven from hell.
"What a miracle!" Yan Yue hugged Yu Tianlu and Wu Lianzhi tightly, "That's great. I didn't expect that I passed the test. That's great, that's great!"
"Ayue, put us down quickly!" Yu Tianlu was almost choked and choked.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
As soon as Yan Yue let go, he smashed the two unlucky partners to the ground.
"You big, reckless guy, if you hadn't been lucky enough to be shortlisted, I would have taught you a lesson!" Wu Lianzhi, who was sitting on the ground, pointed at Yan Yue and cursed.
At this time, the candidates in other ordinary examination rooms looked at these people with envy.
Because with the last name of Yan Yue appearing, it means that the door of the Royal Academy has been closed to them this time.
They asked themselves that they did not have the ability to enter the top 100, and most of the candidates left the scene frustrated.
For a moment the entire general area seemed empty.
"I really didn't expect that young people like you would be lucky enough to take the official exam!" Che Mingli in front said sourly, "But it's useless to pass the qualifying round. You will definitely be eliminated in the official exam."
"Are you so sure?" Yan Yue said unconvinced.
"A person who came last in the rankings actually asked me if I'm so sure?" Che Mingli laughed loudly, "It seems like you don't understand the formal exam at all."
"Do you know?" Yu Tianlu asked.
"That's natural. Have you never seen pigs running or eaten pork?" Che Mingli snorted coldly, "But don't expect me to reveal it to you."
"It's not surprising. Anything is possible before the official exam begins." Yu Tianlu said calmly, "I believe in our strength."
"What's your strength? You kid, you're so arrogant. Hey, hey, hey! It seems like your name is not on this list! Are you still dreaming of participating in the main competition?"
"Xiao Lu is a person with the top 100 abilities. I can pass the exam, will he fail?" Yan Yue glared at Che Mingli, "And your name doesn't seem to be on the list either!"
"This..." In fact, seeing that his name did not appear in the last paragraph, Che Mingli felt unsure.
Because he is very aware of his own strength, but he doesn't believe that he can't even pass the qualification test.
"It's probably because I performed beyond my level and entered the top 100. It seems that my discussion of the last two big topics must have been appreciated by the teacher. Yes! That must be the case!" Che Mingli thought this and ignored Yu Tianlu and others. People.
"Okay, now we are going to announce the names of the top 100 candidates one by one." Wang Liming said on the high platform at this time, "I believe everyone must be very anxious to wait! Then we will see the results soon."
As soon as Wang Liming finished speaking, he saw golden names popping up in the blank space at the top of the list.
"The 99th place is Su Mo from Yuanzhou, the 98th place is Suiyuan Ning Tianzong...the 10th place is Shen Junzhe from the provincial capital..."
After the tenth admitted name came out, Che Mingli's heart couldn't help but twitch.
"No way! I'm already ranked tenth and you don't have my name yet?" Che Mingli knew that he didn't have the strength to be in the top ten, and he was already a little restless. "Isn't it possible that I really overturned?"
Wu Lianzhi was also extremely anxious.
"Why is there no name for Xiaolu yet?" Wu Lianzhi looked at Yu Tianlu worriedly.
Although he knew that Yu Tianlu's grades were very good, Wu Lianzhi didn't dare to think that a top ten student could be produced in an ordinary examination room.
On the contrary, Yan Yue had been looking forward to not calling Yu Tianlu's name.
"Don't mention Xiaolu's name now! He wants to be the first!" Yan Yue said calmly.
"So confident?" Wu Lianzhi asked worriedly.
"Xiao Lu's strength is there, he will definitely impress the big families."
"You're still impressed! Aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?" Che Mingli said sarcastically from the side.
"I said Che, what are you talking about?" Wu Lianzhi said angrily, "Your name hasn't come out yet. I think you have been eliminated, right?"
"Just kidding, I'm in the top ten, okay?"
"Can a guy like you be in the top ten? You really overestimate your abilities!" Wu Lianzhi laughed.
At this moment, five more names appeared in front of everyone. These five people are all descendants of aristocratic families.
Soon only the top three names were left.
"Third place, Tian He Zikui! Second place, Quwo Zheng Shuduan!" Soon the names of the top pick and second place were announced.
"Brother, it turns out you are in second place!" Zheng Runze was very happy when he saw this.
Unexpectedly, there was no smile on Uncle Zheng's face.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Runze asked strangely.
"It looks like that guy took first place again this time!" After Zheng Shuduan finished speaking, his eyes also moved to Lu Lianhai, who had been silent in the first row.
At the same time, a golden name at the top of the list finally emerged.
"First place, Xiangzhou Lu Lianhai!"
"The first place is undoubtedly Mr. Lu!"
"As expected of the Lu family in Xiangzhou!"
The children of aristocratic families in the VIP area also stood up to congratulate Lu Lianhai.
Lu Lianhai touched his head and smiled naively: "Luck, it's really luck!"
"Lu Lianhai!" I don't know when Zheng Shuduan appeared in front of Lu Lianhai.
"Who do I think it is! It turns out to be the eldest son of the Zheng family." When Lu Lianhai saw Zheng Shuduan, a look of pride flashed across his face, "Brother Zheng accepted the offer!"
"You won the first place by relying on your strength. It was not unfair for me to lose to you." Zheng Shuduan said calmly, "But this is just a qualification test. When the official test takes place, we still don't know who will win."
"Yes, yes! But when the official exam comes, I will try my best." Lu Lianhai said with a smile.
Neither of the geniuses from these two wealthy families seemed to have said anything radical, but the smell of gunpowder in the air was felt by all the candidates present.
At this moment, Che Mingli slumped down in the last row.
After all the lists were released, it meant that he was sentenced to death.
"Impossible! Didn't I even get into the top 500?" Che Mingli's world seemed to have collapsed. You must know that this time he has shouldered all the hopes of the Che family!
Che Mingli felt that the children of the aristocratic families around him were looking at him with contempt, and he wished he could get in directly through the cracks.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the conversation between Yu Tianlu and others behind him.
"What's going on? There must be a mistake in the list, why is Xiaolu's name not there at the end!" Yan Yue couldn't believe the test results.
"Could it be that Xiaolu's papers were stolen? It must be like this..." Wu Lianzhi never expected such a result.
On the contrary, the person involved, Yu Tianlu, was extremely calm and was thinking about something in his heart.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with that paper, and I can guarantee the accuracy of the objective questions. As for the subjective questions, it won't be much worse. Even Ayue can be among the top 500, and there is no reason for me to fail." Yu Tianlu thought in his mind. He asked, "Then what's going on? Could it be?"
At this time, Yu Tianlu looked up at the three teachers on the high platform.
"Hahaha! Who was saying just now that he is definitely in the top ten? Is your name on the list now?" Che Mingli looked at Yu Tianlu with hateful eyes.
"I told you to stop being sarcastic and sarcastic. You failed the exam yourself, so there's no need to add insult to injury like this!" Wu Lianzhi said with a frown.
"Hahaha! I failed? Even if I fail, I am still a child of a noble family. I will definitely make a comeback. And even if I can't enter the Royal Academy, I can still rely on the strength of my family to become an elephant transformer!" Che Mingli shouted.
The noisy sound of the car soon attracted the candidates in the VIP seats in the front row to look over.
"It turned out to be the guy who was planning to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix." Zheng Shuduan recognized Che Mingli at a glance.
"He's still laughing at that Yu Tianlu? He didn't even get into the top 500, yet he's still laughing at him. This kind of guy actually wants to talk to us. It's really disgusting." Zheng Runze spat on the ground.
Zheng Shuduan looked at Yu Tianlu and thought to himself: "There is no reason why this guy can't even get past the 500th place. With his scheming, it's more than enough to get into the top 100! Why on earth is this!"
At this moment, Cheng Kezhao's voice sounded again from the high platform.
"Dear candidates, please note that I have something important to announce below!" Cheng Kezhao said with a smile.
"Director, is there anything else?"
The candidates in the audience focused their attention on the high platform.
"All the lists have been distributed just now, and all the places for the 500 candidates who have passed the qualification examination have been announced. I would like to congratulate everyone again." Cheng Kezhao changed the topic, "But I still have a special place to announce. He As the 501st candidate to pass the qualifying exam, he will take the official exam on the weekend with everyone."
"Special quota? Why have I never heard of such a quota?"
The audience in the audience also talked a lot.
Some ordinary candidates had dissatisfaction written all over their faces.
"It's probably that young man from a wealthy family who got the special quota! I didn't expect that the Royal Academy is also doing something special!"
"Here I want to explain the whole story, otherwise our Royal Academy will be covered with spittle stars." Cheng Kezhao smiled to ease the embarrassment, "Actually, this candidate's test results are quite excellent, but it is a pity that we ignored it. One detail casts doubt on this candidate's qualifications for the examination. Of course, this is all the fault of our Royal College."
"If there is any doubt about your qualifications for the exam, just disqualify them. Why do you still say it is the responsibility of the Royal Academy?" Tian and Zi Kui from the Zi family asked loudly.
"This is indeed our responsibility, and if we allow 500 people to occupy the quota, we may be criticized by the candidates." The more Cheng Kezhao said, the more confused the candidates became.
