Chapter 1204.
The official forum of the Changhai Third Secondary Academy, blew up!
The most famous genius student in the academy, Chen Yuxuan, had lost to third year student Lu Yuan in the martial arts ring.
And it was still by a sword!
Since there were many people taking videos of the competition and posting them on the forum, the process of Chen Yuxuan’s tragic defeat was quickly analyzed frame by frame.
However, the more people watched, the more confused they became, unable to understand how Chen Yuxuan, who was known for his swordplay, had lost the match.
It felt as if this genius had been struck by an evil spirit, and his opponent had easily seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Some judged that Chen Yuxuan was too gullible and made a fatal mistake.
There were also those who thought that Lu Yuan had hidden his depths and had struck a chord, and that his own strength was not inferior to Chen Yuxuan.
There were even people who clamored that Lu Yuan must have cheated in the competition, demanding that the academy conduct an investigation and give severe punishment.
“How could my brother Yu Xuan lose? It must be the other party who used despicable means!”
This was the counter-intuitive statement of Chen Yuxuan’s female fans in the forum.
Possibly due to pressure from certain quarters, the academy side didn’t express any opinion on this, only painlessly stating that it wouldn’t interfere with the students’ normal sparring exchanges.
As for an investigation that was definitely not there – it would be a joke if they really did!
But no matter what, Chen Yuxuan’s image and popularity had plummeted.
This genius student didn’t even show up at the academy until the day before the Higher Martial Exam.
As for the other center of this public opinion, Wang Chen, who was the victor, received much less attention instead.
Because many people didn’t believe that he really had the strength to defeat Chen Yuxuan, they put doubts such as “victory is not martial”, “good luck”, “blind cat meets dead rat” and so on on his head.
As for the academy side, it was estimated that there were also doubts, coupled with the fact that the Higher Martial Arts Examination was about to begin, so only one teacher was sent over to ask Wang Chen if he had any difficulties in life.
In the meantime, he was encouraged to perform well in the Higher Martial Arts Examination.
It was a very smooth approach.
Instead, Wang Chen became a bit interested and asked the teacher, “If I get into one of the seven greats of the empire, will there be any rewards from the academy?”
The teacher froze at the question, “This ……”
He really wasn’t sure.
Because the Changhai Third Secondary College had already had five years without a single student getting into one of the seven universities, that’s why the college would treat Chen Yuxuan as a treasure, pouring a lot of teaching resources into cultivating him with all his heart.
If a student gets into the seventh university, there will definitely be rewards.
But the students who got into the seven universities in the past were either rich or rich, basically all of them were cultivated by their families since childhood, and they invested an unknown amount of resources, so where do they care about this reward?
Wang Chen was merely a war orphan, with no power or background, and even his tuition was a basic benefit granted by the empire.
The teacher felt that it was normal for him to have such thoughts, so he simply asked the principal directly.
As a result, he quickly received a reply, “If you can get into the Empire’s seven universities, then the academy side will reward you with half a million star dollars, and it’s not just you either, all students are treated equally!”
Half a million star yuan!
Wang Chen felt satisfied.
Star Yuan was the circulating currency of the Holy Light Empire, the value of the currency was very stable, and its purchasing power was quite high.
He could eat well with five hundred star dollars per month for food in the third middle school, and a personal terminal of the latest model was only three to four thousand star dollars for the basic model.
With half a million star yuan, he could even purchase a set of unarmed low-level mechs!
Wang Chen said sincerely and genuinely, “Teacher, I’ll work hard!”
For half a million star dollars!
What made Wang Dust feel even happier was that the academy teacher had just left in the front foot, and he received a transfer from Zhang Zhaocheng in the back foot.
28609.50 star dollars were not missing a single point!
Zhang Zhaocheng definitely didn’t dare to breach the contract – he couldn’t afford the consequences.
Later on, Wang Chen also heard that this guy didn’t participate in the Higher Martial Exam and directly transferred and left the Third Secondary Academy.
He didn’t even say hello to Mu Yu when he left, directly abandoning the latter.
After getting her diploma, Mu Yu tried to resume her relationship with Wang Chen, but the result was predictable.
There was no news of her since then.
The unknown whereabouts of this childhood friend of the original body did not produce a single ripple in Wang Chen’s heart, and was immediately discarded from his useful memory.
On July 5, 617 of the Holy Light Calendar, Wang Dust boarded a sky traffic ship with other third-year students in the Third Secondary Academy of the Long Sea.
The thousands of tons of traffic ship quickly rose up and shot straight up into the sky, and in a short time, it was out of the atmosphere.
Wang Dust looked down through the porthole and saw a blue planet very similar to Earth.
It was so fascinating.
After a few more minutes of flying, the transportation ship moored into a giant space station located above the orbit of space.
It was said to be a space station, but it was actually more like a huge space fortress.
It was not only an air port for the residents of Azure Star to fly to other planets, but also bore the important responsibility of defending this administrative star, and there was also an imperial space fleet stationed there.
Although he was a resident of Azure Star in his previous life, he had never been to a space station before, so for Wang Chen, this trip was undoubtedly full of freshness and allowed him to further understand the might of the Empire.
Under the leadership of the academy’s teachers, Wang Chen and more than a thousand third-year students visited some of the space station’s facilities, and finally boarded a large space transport ship.
Not only was this space transport ship extremely large in terms of tonnage, but the speed at which it flew wasn’t something that could be compared to a small transportation ship.
It wasn’t just used to transport the students of the third middle school, in fact, at least one-tenth of the students from the entire Azure Star who were participating in the Higher Martial Examination were on this transport ship.
Three hours later, the transportation ship arrived at the Azure Gate.
The Azure Gate was a stargate named by the Empire, it was quietly suspended in the lonely cosmic space, emitting light that dispelled the surrounding darkness, becoming the most eye-catching existence within a range of millions of kilometers.
The Stargate was one of the most amazing creations in the universe.
No one knows whether it is a natural formation or the creation of a super civilization, and countless imperial scientists have studied it for their entire lives, but their understanding of the stargate still remains at the surface level.
However, the stargates scattered within the ancient galaxies were undoubtedly the cornerstone of the Holy Light Empire’s domination of half of the galaxy and dozens of star clusters, without these cosmic wormholes capable of traversing space, it would be impossible to have today’s world!
Although the stargate is indestructible, in the vicinity of the Azure Stargate, the empire still arranged a real space fortress and guard fleet to protect it.
Its main purpose was to guard against invading enemies.
Because it was also possible for the enemy to leap through the stargate and launch a sudden attack!
The transport ships carrying over a hundred thousand candidates, followed by hundreds of spacecraft, passed through the Azure Stargate in order.
Making a space leap!
