Chapter 131 Peerless Genius?
"Impossible! Zhou Wen was able to fish out the coin, how could I not be able to?" Li Xuan's face was full of disbelief.
But the score for this item was gone. Li Xuan couldn't even take out a coin. His score was directly zero. Even if he got full marks in the other three items, he would not be able to squeeze into the top ten.
Li Xuan felt so regretful in his heart. If he had not been careless, he would have been able to endure it and take out the coin. After all, he had the fate of an immortal god of war, and his hand could not be disabled.
"One misstep will lead to eternal regret!" Li Xuan felt like crying.
Zhou Wen passed the following events smoothly. Except for crossing the paper bridge where he was a little slow and only got nine points, he passed the other three events with ten points.
For a moment, the entire college was buzzing with discussions, with people asking about Zhou Wen's name. A mortal first-year student had actually scored three 10s and one 9, essentially securing a spot in the top ten. This result was truly terrifying.
Although Wang Lu, An Jing, and Feng Qiuyan were also freshmen, they had all been promoted to Legends, so it was understandable that they had such achievements. However, for Zhou Wen, a mortal, to achieve such results was a bit too scary.
For a time, the name of the peerless genius Zhou Wen spread throughout the campus, but some teachers still had doubts in their hearts.
They have seen many geniuses, but no ordinary person can achieve such results.
The most skeptical one among them was the princess. She originally wanted to give Zhou Wen some stimulation in the unified examination to see if he could cheer up again. Who knew that Zhou Wen actually made it into the top ten and even got the qualification to enter the Ziwei Palace. This was a little unacceptable to her.
However, all the events were carried out in full view of the public. Zhou Wen was neither the first nor the last. People before and after him used the same props. If he was accused of cheating, there was really no evidence to prove it.
"It's unscientific... This is unscientific... Why did I only get three nines... but you got three tens and one nine..." Li Xuan could not accept this result at all.
In fact, it was not only Li Xuan who could not accept it. Zhou Wen himself knew that there was definitely something wrong with his result. Take strength for example. Zhou Wen was very clear about his own strength. Logically speaking, he should not be able to lift the tenth stone tripod, but in the end he lifted it up, and it felt that the tenth stone tripod was not heavier than the ninth. It would be strange if there was no trick.
Zhou Wen had no idea that electromagnetic devices were installed inside those stone tripods and on the platforms below, and Zheng Tianlun could control the force needed to lift the stone tripods to a certain extent.
Other projects were also tampered with, but they were done in an extremely secretive manner. Even the teachers didn't know about it. The venue was tampered with when it was built.
After the unified examination is over, once the venue is dismantled, it will be done without anyone noticing.
Originally, all of this was prepared by Zheng Tianlun for himself. He wanted to use these methods to break into the top ten, but Wei Ge pointed it out. He didn't dare to tamper with it during his own test, but instead gave Zhou Wen an advantage.
Zhou Wen inexplicably gained the reputation of a genius. When Wei Ge came over to congratulate him, he even winked at him, which made Zhou Wen, who had been somewhat skeptical of Wei Ge, immediately confirm his thoughts.
"It turned out to be Wei Ge who did something, but why did he do that? Just to persuade a freshman like me to join the student union?" Zhou Wen was a little puzzled.
In any case, Zhou Wen is well-known in Sunset College. In all the years since Sunset College was established, no ordinary student has achieved such results.
"The coach is worthy of being a coach." Feng Qiuyan had no doubt at all, believing that this was Zhou Wen's true strength, and she became more determined to ask Zhou Wen to be her personal trainer.
Although some people had doubts, they could only remain silent because they could not find any evidence.
Finally, the top ten places were determined. As expected, Li Xuan failed to make the list, but Zhou Wen successfully entered the top ten and obtained the qualification to enter the Ziwei Palace.
"Old Zhou, I really don't accept it. Putting aside other things, your strength is definitely not as great as mine. It doesn't make sense that you can lift the tenth stone tripod but I can't." Li Xuan's face was full of resentment.
"This is fate." What could Zhou Wen say?
Fortunately, Li Xuan didn't really care about this quota, he just pulled Zhou Wen aside to complain a few words.
"I'm not bragging to you, Zhou Wen is truly a genius among geniuses. When we were in Guide High School together, everyone in our school knew that Zhou Wen was a genius. You know about Ku Chan, right? That thing is so difficult to practice. Even if ordinary people use Yuan Qi crystals to practice, it will be difficult to get started and practice Yuan Qi in three to five years. But Zhou Wen has never used a single Yuan Qi crystal, and he has honed himself and practiced Ku Chan..." Tian Xiangdong was talking excitedly, telling a group of classmates about Zhou Wen's deeds when he was in high school.
Without Zhou Wen knowing it himself, he had become a representative figure among the freshmen of Sunset College and was considered the most promising freshman in the class.
Although this was not the result Zhou Wen hoped to see, being able to qualify to enter the Ziwei Palace was also a pleasant surprise for him.
The day after the unified examination was the day to enter the Ziwei Palace. Zhou Wen and nine other students received tokens distributed by the school and, under the guidance of a tutor, came to the legendary Ziwei Palace.
The Ziwei Palace is more magnificent and majestic than the Forbidden City. After becoming an alien dimension, it makes people feel its grandeur even more. Although it is now underground, it still does not prevent Zhou Wen and other students from marveling at the greatness of the ancients.
Outside Yingtian Gate, Zhou Wen and the others were waiting for the moment when the gate would open. Wang Lu looked around curiously: "This place is nearly a thousand meters underground, surrounded by rocks. Where did those legendary treasures come from?"
"Of course it comes from another dimension. Could there really be ghosts?" Hui Haifeng said with a smile.
Wei Ge, this wasn't his first time here, so he explained, "Those treasures all floated out from the rifts in the other dimension and flew into the Ziwei Palace one after another. There are many rare treasures among them, but ordinary treasures are at most collectibles, which can be exchanged for some money. The truly precious ones are the companion eggs and dimensional crystals. Many of these companion eggs and dimensional crystals are not available in the East District. If you're lucky, you might be able to get a companion egg of an elf or angel, which is also a very good option."
"How can we know what types of companion eggs are?" Wang Lu asked curiously.
"I really don't know about this. Not to mention distinguishing the types of companion eggs, it's hard to say whether you can choose a companion egg." Wei Ge said.
"Why?" Wang Lu was a little confused.
"Because all the treasures are packed in boxes, all we can see are the boxes. We have no idea what's inside. Once you choose a box, you can't change it, so what you can choose depends on luck," Hui Haifeng explained.
