[Shocking! This candidate has actually broken the upper limit of the exam paper!]

[Breaking the sky! A super dark horse surpasses the hero profession, winning a record-breaking terrifying score]

The college entrance exam has ended, but the subsequent impact surged like a tide.

Media from across Huaxia, big and small, moved at the news, digging relentlessly to report this year's top scholar ahead of the game– based on experience, whoever tops the Spirit Realm Exploration subject has over a 70% chance of becoming the top scholar!

The candidates who "survived" till the end in the same Mirror Space as Bai Pu knew through the list that Bai Pu's score in the Spirit Realm Exploration subject was 608, so the news of him being first place wasn't a secret.

Although Bai Pu was using a codename - "Gangxin", in Mirror Space No.1, there was only one candidate below Level 3, and that was him!

Therefore, Bai Pu's identity couldn't be hidden, and of course, he didn't intend to hide it.

Resourceful reporters dug into Bai Pu's grades, and wow, the first two subjects were full marks.

Virtual Combat wasn't too surprising; 79 people nationwide scored full marks. But getting full marks in the Cultural Subject was truly terrifying.

No wonder he could, as a Low-level Awakened and not a Hero Template, win first place in the Spirit Realm Exploration subject!

Immediately, various media became excited and extended invitations for exclusive interviews to Bai Pu!

...

"Interview venue? Let's set it at Xicheng No. 17 Middle School."

Bai Pu nonchalantly rubbed his hands, "After all, it's my…alma mater."

"Great idea." Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "This could give the school a lot of attention...maybe help it avoid being closed down."

"Once the Jiangnan Education Department decides to close a school, they won't change their mind easily."

Li Ling glanced at Bai Pu, "You're setting the interview venue at the school to play the victim, right?"

"This isn't playing the victim."

Bai Pu said righteously, "This is called unwavering in poverty, being strong even when poor—a role model all young people in the country should learn from!"

Beep beep, a message came to Li Ling's number.

She glanced at her wrist and looked at Bai Pu with a half-smile: "You're quite the hot commodity now, a Practical Officer from the Jiangnan Education Department sent me a message, hoping you'd transfer your school record to a key high school in the region, be it Jiang University Affiliated Middle School or Jiangnan First Middle School, you can pick freely!"

"Huh? Little Bai Pu is already done with the college entrance exam, why does he need to transfer records?" Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly.

Bai Pu shook his head with a smile: "Sister Ling, you should know my stance..."

Li Ling responded with an "Mm", coldly smiling: "Those high-looking key high schools, only realizing their urgency now? Too late!"

...

Reporters from various places, upon seeing the run-down Xicheng No. 17 Middle School, were both shocked and delighted.

Shocked that the national top college entrance exam scorer, a genius who broke the exam's full mark limit, actually came from such a dilapidated school.

Delighted that there was explosive news material to uncover!

Bai Pu continued to receive media interviews. He didn't exaggerate excessively, just narrated his journey in an artistically processed way.

Born with congenital heart disease, mental load too great, body weak;

The Superpower Group found a clinical test subject, and they signed a contract;

Bai Pu narrowly survived, fused with Source Blood, passed the Trial Task as an untrained ordinary person...

Of course, Bai Pu didn't hide nor did he deliberately exaggerate Poison Thorn Squad's two pursuits, one in the Spirit Realm and one in Boundary Land.

Like sharks smelling blood, reporters pursued the topic of Bai Pu being hunted relentlessly. This undoubtedly added an element of thrilling curiosity to Bai Pu's growth story.

Even though the Superpower Group is a major force in the Jiangnan Region, they could only influence Jiangnan's media.

Reporters from other regions, especially those from the Western Capital Region, didn't care about this, eager to act as detectives on the spot, proving that killers were indeed sent by the Superpower Group!

When asked why he studied at such a run-down school, Bai Pu laughed sincerely.

"Those key schools wouldn't take me."

"Reason? Something about me not graduating middle school..."

"Not wronged, not wronged. Just having a school to attend, getting the chance to participate in the college entrance exam, I'm already very content."

"Were the school's refusal and the Superpower Group related? Hmm, I think not! They were just following the rules, who could blame me for having heart disease and dropping out early?"

The handsome youngster with a jade-like temperament, unparalleled talent, and kind nature.

Most of the reporters interviewing Bai Pu were female. Seeing the contentment written all over Bai Pu's face, a maternal protective impulse rose in them, wanting to finalize a draft on the spot condemning those short-sighted key high schools!

The astute among them thought of the hidden stories within and planned to link every key high school in Jiangnan with the Superpower Group.

...

"Look at Xicheng No. 17 Middle School!"

Some Practical Officers from the Jiangnan Region Education Department were furious, slamming the table as they shouted.

"Even if Bai Pu doesn't have a middle school diploma, isn't him being an Awakened and the Spirit Realm Will's panel as proof enough?"

"Talents who awaken early, aren't they treated like treasures in your schools, why the cold attitude when it comes to Bai Pu?"

"Selfishness at work, greed at work!"

"Originally, having a top scorer from the Jiangnan Region was something to be proud of, but now? The entire Jiangnan education system must act humbly! They say we're blind, not recognizing gold inlaid with jade!"

Sitting across the table were a few principals from key high schools, all sitting there as properly as little schoolchildren, listening to the scolding, enduring the spit flying from the Practical Officers.

They too regret, had they known Bai Pu would be the top scorer, they would've treated him like a god long ago.

They initially thought that a newly promoted Awakened like Bai Pu, having or not having him wouldn't make much difference! It wasn't worth offending the Superpower Group over him.

Now, these principals regret so much they could turn green.

The top-ranking Practical Officer from the Jiangnan Education Department took a sip of water and said coldly:

"Don't blame me for being harsh. Such a big matter, Secretary Qiao and the committee members are alarmed! The committee is very disappointed in the Jiangnan Region education system!"

Another Practical Officer chimed in: "The education system is facing a major overhaul, everyone here will face consequences!"

"Xicheng No. 17 Middle School will not be closed!" The last Practical Officer sighed, adding the final point.

Come on, the Seventeenth Middle School produced a national top scorer; the next round of education funding must favor the Seventeenth Middle School, who dares to close the alma mater of a national top scorer?

After the meeting, several principals with forced smiles approached a more approachable Practical Officer.

"Minister Zhao, could you speak to Chairman Wu of the Superpower Group, ask Chairman Wu to say something reasonable?" a principal asked quietly, sullenly adding, "Who knew Bai Pu would be so extraordinary as to actually become the top scorer!"

"The Superpower Group is probably too busy themselves."

The Practical Officer wasn't as friendly as usual, coldly saying, "Negative reports about the Superpower Group are everywhere, and online there's a lot of suspicion of their shady operations, and yet the promotional department shows no sign of control! Don't you understand yet?"

"Hiss…" Sounds of sharp intakes of breath filled the air.

Someone murmured, "The sky is changing..."
