Chapter 16: A Never-Seen-Before Expression

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing his shout, Li Qiang’s teammate panicked before anyone else could react.

She hurriedly ran over and looked at the empty metal box in Li Qiang’s hand. She no longer appeared as docile as before.

She widened her eyes in shock.

“Li Qiang, you want to pocket the inner core?” she asked in a piercing voice.

“F*ck you. We went everywhere together. You would have seen me if I opened the box, right?” cursed Li Qiang.

“This box was empty, to begin with!”

Hearing this, Li Qiang’s teammate was also dumbfounded.

Indeed. Although Li Qiang had been the one to hold onto the box, it was impossible that he would open it without her knowing.

This was because this kid had been holding it in his hands all this while, afraid that others would not see it. How could he have the chance to open the box behind her back?

Seeing the farce on Li Qiang’s side, the surrounding students burst into laughter.

They disliked the way Li Qiang behaved.

Before the awakening ceremony, he was submissive. After he awakened his intermediate class, he started to look down on everyone.

It was beyond satisfying to see what was happening to him now.

However, some people gradually stopped laughing.

“F*ck, my box is empty too!”

“F*ck, me too!”

As an increasing number of people started to say that, a majority of the students immediately checked the boxes they were holding onto.

Some people heaved a sigh of relief, while others broke down on the spot.

One-fifth of the wooden boxes were empty!

For a moment, the scene was in chaos.

Some people even began to question whether the school had placed inner cores in these boxes at all.

Initially, they thought that the principal would immediately come forward to explain.

Unexpectedly, the principal only smiled at the students in front of him without saying anything.

Although this smile was kind and amiable, the principal’s aura of prestige and dignity was not to be overlooked. Everyone slowly quietened down unknowingly.

When everyone was finally silent, the principal nodded.

He said, “Teacher Zhang, please check on the students’ results.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Was Principal Wang not going to give an explanation at all?

Teacher Zhang came to the various teams and began to count the results one by one.

“Zhang Wei’s team, two Tier 1 inner cores!”

“Xu Yang’s team, zero inner cores!”

“Wang Xun’s team, zero inner cores!”

As the results were announced, many students felt embarrassed and their faces turned red.

On the other hand, some students heaved a sigh of relief. Those students were the ones who originally thought that they had poor results as they had only gotten the wooden box.

When Leng Ruzhi heard Teacher Zhang’s voice, she felt that something was amiss, but she could not pinpoint what was wrong.

At the next moment, Teacher Zhang actually paused for a moment and did not immediately report the results.

Everyone stretched out their necks to take a look and were shocked.

They saw a petite girl who tied her hair in two buns on either side of her head. Although she was only holding a wooden box, the wooden box was filled with inner cores!

It turned out that the reason why Teacher Zhang did not report the results directly was because there were too many inner cores. He had to count them!

“Team Jiang Pan, 28 Tier 1 inner cores!” he announced.

There was an uproar.

Instantly, everyone understood what had happened.

No wonder many people’s boxes were empty. They had been taken away by Jiang Pan.

Principal Wang looked at Jiang Pan with approval.

He did not need to explain anything to the students.

Everything in the world was the same. Time would naturally tell everyone the answer.

If one could not even wait for the answer to be announced, it was only because that person was too weak.

At this moment, Leng Ruzhi, who was standing behind some people, looked at the unfamiliar Jiang Pan. Jiang Pan’s lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she could not say a word.

Leng Ruzhi thought, “No wonder I felt that something was amiss previously!”

“I thought Teacher Zhang only needs to report whether a student had obtained a box, or what kind of box he had obtained.”

“Why did he deliberately report the number of inner cores?”

“Everyone knows that there will be two inner cores in each box.”

“So that means that the school had guessed that there would be people who would take more than their share, and they tacitly agreed to it!”

Hearing the envious whispers of her classmates around her, Leng Ruzhi was a little dazed.

Originally, she thought that such behavior was wrong.

But now, it seemed that Jiang Pan’s behavior was envied by everyone.

Then what was right and what was wrong?

While Leng Ruzhi was still in a daze, Teacher Zhang had already arrived in front of her.

“How many inner cores did you obtain, Leng Ruzhi?”

Only then did Leng Ruzhi snap out of her trance. Her body trembled slightly and she pursed her lips without saying anything.

When Teacher Zhang saw Leng Ruzhi’s expression, he subconsciously looked at Chen Feng, who was on the same team as her.

At this moment, Leng Ruzhi’s heart suddenly sped up.

She suddenly thought of something.

Chen Feng had inner cores with him!

If Chen Feng were to reveal the four Tier 2 inner cores right now…

Even if Leng Ruzhi refused to split the prizes with Chen Feng, the school would still determine that she was the one who had gotten this prize.

However, this was not the outcome she wanted.

She did not want the results that others gave her. She did not want others’ handouts.

This was equivalent to completely trampling on and crushing Leng Ruzhi’s dignity.

To her, this was worse than losing!

Just as she closed her eyes and waited for a crack to appear in her dignity…

Chen Feng spread out his hands and shook his head helplessly.

Teacher Zhang did not seem surprised. He adjusted his glasses and scribbled on the report card.

“Leng Ruzhi’s team, zero inner cores.”

Then, he went straight to the next team to count the results.

After Teacher Zhang left, Leng Ruzhi still felt her heart thumping wildly.

She slowly turned her head and looked at the indifferent Chen Feng. After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her head with a red face.

“Chen Feng…” she said.

“Thank you for protecting my pride.”

After saying that, she lowered her head even more.

Chen Feng was astounded.

“What does she mean by this?” he thought.

“I just don’t want to stand out!”

However, Chen Feng did not think too much about Leng Ruzhi’s reaction.

Instead, he was carefully considering his cultivation plan.

Not far away.

Li Qiang, who only had Leng Ruzhi in his eyes, clearly saw the scene just now.

All of a sudden, his mind went blank.

What was going on with Leng Ruzhi just now?

Why would she have such an expression while talking to Chen Feng?

Embarrassment? Nervousness? There was even a hint of… gratitude?

Li Qiang had never seen such an expression on Leng Ruzhi’s face in the past two years.

Why was that?

“Chen Feng!” he said angrily.

–

After counting, Principal Wang took the report card from Teacher Zhang and smiled meaningfully.

“I hereby announce!”

“First place: Team Jiang Pan!”

“Second place: Team Bai Hong!”

“Third place: Team Lin Yu!”

“Students from these teams, please come to me later to collect the ranking reward.”

Hearing this, all the students looked at them enviously.

Then, the principal paused.

He added, “Everyone must be tired out from this exam.”

“The school will give everyone two days’ break, tomorrow and the day after. If you want to go home and take a look, you may do so. You can spend more time with your parents.”

“After all, in the next year, all that’s left for you is to study and train.”

“This exam is officially over!”
