At the same time, he also realized that a peerless genius had been born at their Maple Leaf Middle School in Tiannan City.
Xia Zhihong and Hua Qingyue exchanged a glance, then revealed knowing smiles on their faces.
"Hua Qingyue, if that peerless genius is you, you shouldn't keep it a secret. Sooner or later, the teacher will announce the news, after all, they are also investigating this matter."
Xia Zhihong probed.
"Are you kidding me? I spent a long time cultivating in the Tower of All Heavens yesterday before going home. I didn't even come to school. How could I possibly be that super genius? On the contrary, you've never revealed your true strength. Could it be that you suddenly had a burst of potential and made a name for yourself?"
In fact, Hua Qingyue didn't really trust the geniuses in her class, including Xia Zhihong. These guys were all seasoned veterans who liked to play dumb to fool others. Even if they told the truth, she wouldn't believe them at all.
“How could it be me?” Xia Zhihong shrugged. “Although I did go to the Battle Tower to try my luck yesterday, it really wasn’t me. And you know my personality. If I became such a genius, how could I hide it? You know, even though that genius hasn’t shown up yet, he already has quite a few fans. How could I bear to let my female fans not be able to find their idol?”
Ye Ruqiu and Hua Qingyue rolled their eyes upon hearing this.
Although Xia Zhihong's words sounded like a joke, Hua Qingyue understood that Xia Zhihong was indeed not someone who disliked being flamboyant.
Although he always kept his cultivation a secret, probably because it involved his privacy, he never refused the opportunity to become famous.
Could it be that he really isn't that peerless genius? But if that's the case, then who is it? Even including those hidden big shots in the class, the two most recognized as the strongest are Hua Qingyue and Xia Zhihong. Besides them, there's a quiet, chubby guy, but judging from several comparisons, he's not as good as Xia Zhihong at all. If he's not even as good as Xia Zhihong, how could he possibly be a genius?
Or was that genius someone who suddenly unleashed their potential, something none of them could have predicted?
During the last period of the morning, in the honors class, everyone was having class when the homeroom teacher, Lin Yue, suddenly walked in. He seemed to have already informed the subject teacher, so when the subject teacher saw him enter, he slowly nodded, packed up his lesson plan, and turned to leave the classroom.
Seeing this, everyone in the class felt quite strange, wondering what had happened. It seemed that Lin Yue had come to announce something, and it looked quite important.
Just then, someone whispered, "The teacher might be here to talk about that genius. This morning, almost everyone in the school was looking for that genius. They probably have a result this morning, which is why they're telling everyone."
"Very likely!"
Everyone nodded, and for a moment, their eyes looked at Lin Yue with anticipation.
Sure enough, Lin Yue said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Everyone, I have something to announce today, about yesterday's Battle Tower challenge!"
"After investigating this matter with all our teachers, including reviewing information from within the alliance, we have found out who the super genius who passed the test is, and we have also confirmed that he is indeed a student of our school, and not some idle person from the community who came here to cause trouble!"
"Teacher, who is it?"
Upon hearing Lin Yue's words, some students were already eager to know the person's name.
Lin Yue glanced at the person and said, "Fellow students, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you. I don't want to reveal this student's name, and none of the teachers or school administrators will disclose it. This is to ensure that the student can cultivate in peace. I hope that none of you will use your connections to find out this student's name. If anyone is found to be inquiring about this student's name, the school will impose appropriate penalties!"
"What!"
Everyone was quite surprised to hear Lin Yue say such a thing; they hadn't expected the school to make such a decision.
They've completely kept the identity of that genius a secret; they're practically keeping them in suspense.
For a moment, everyone felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if they were halfway through defecating. They were about to soar into the sky and experience a smooth and exhilarating release, but at the last moment, they were blocked.
A murmur of discontent arose in the classroom. Lin Yue sneered at this and, without saying anything more, turned and left. However, before leaving, he glanced at Guan Wen. Guan Wen's expression changed upon seeing this, but fortunately, no other classmates noticed Lin Yue's strange look before he left.
As soon as Lin Yue left the classroom, the entire class started discussing it. Everyone was quite dissatisfied with the result, and they also wanted to know who this genius was.
"What the school did was really unfair. What good would it do to publish that genius's name? It's not like we're going to eat him!" Cui Hong was among the most disgruntled bystanders.
“Exactly!” a classmate next to him complained. “And I reckon this is mostly related to that genius himself. If it weren’t for his request, the school probably wouldn’t have bothered with it, since keeping it a secret wouldn’t have benefited the school.”
After school in the afternoon, Guan Wen packed his things and left, preparing to go to the Tower of All Heavens to begin his seven-day cultivation. But just then, he suddenly received a text message from his teacher, asking him to wait in the classroom for a while and be the last to leave.
