Chapter 145: Rising Sun Monument
Wei Ge didn't want to see John again, but he had to take John to experience the study and life at Sunset College.
Before John was around, Wei Ge was the center of attention wherever he went, and the target of girls' affectionate gazes. But with John by her side, Wei Ge felt that her brilliance was completely overshadowed by him.
Just like now, they were just touring the academy, and there was a large group of girls following them. However, those girls who used to only have Wei Ge in their eyes, now stared at John without blinking, their eyes almost turning into heart shapes.
"Is this the Rising Sun Monument of Sunset College?" John said, standing in front of a white marble monument and gazing at the row of ranking words on it.
"Yes, this is the Rising Sun Monument. The names of the top ten students in the unified examination every year will be left on this monument to inspire those who come after them. If someone is on the list multiple times, there will be a star mark behind his name. The number of star marks indicates how many times this student has been on the Rising Sun Monument during his time at school." Wei Ge said proudly.
He has been on the list since he was in the second grade, and including this year, he has been on the list twice. Next year, which is his last year, he will still be on the list.
Being on the list for three consecutive years is rare in Sunset College and is an achievement worthy of boasting.
"President Wei has superb cultivation and unparalleled swordsmanship. I think he will definitely be on the list?" John asked with a smile.
"I was lucky enough to be on the list twice." Wei Ge said, pointing to his name on the stone tablet.
"Hui Haifeng, Feng Qiuyan and Wang Lubi are all gifted people. They should all be on this list, right?" John said again.
"They are all here. They are all among the top ten in the unified examination this year." Wei Ge pointed them out one by one, but he already felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Huh, that's really strange." John looked at the Rising Sun Monument and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Wei Ge had already thought of something. He glanced at John but did not say anything, as if he did not hear John's surprised words.
Wei Ge didn't respond, but one of the girls who followed him asked, "John, what's so strange?"
Wei Ge wanted to slap the girl, thinking that this woman was such an idiot.
John pointed to a name on the stele and said, "President Wei, you and the others are all gifted geniuses, having reached Legendary status before the age of twenty. It's no surprise that you're on the list. Except for one person, all others on this entire stele of the Rising Sun are also Legendary-level, so why is this person, a mere mortal, listed on the stele?"
"The person you are talking about is Zhou Wen, right? Although Zhou Wen is only at the mortal level, his strength is indeed amazing. He got three full marks and one nine-point score in the unified examination. He is indeed a genius, and it is not surprising that he can make the list." The previous girl said again.
John's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Zhou Wen's name on the stele and said, "I never thought there would be such a genius in the world. With a mortal body, he was able to enter the top ten of Sunset College's unified examination. It's truly rare to see such a person in a century. I might not have come to such a person, but now that I'm at Sunset College, I have to meet him no matter what. Otherwise, won't I regret it for the rest of my life?"
Wei Ge's expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal. He looked at John and said, "Zhou Wen is indeed a genius, but he is still a mortal after all. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to spar with him, right?"
Although Wei Ge didn't have a good impression of Zhou Wen, as the student union president of Sunset College, he still stood on the side of protecting the school.
John said calmly, "President Wei, what you said is not true. Sunset College's unified examination is filled with experts. Not to mention the top ten, even the top twenty or thirty are probably all legendary masters. A mortal-level person was able to defeat so many legendary masters and be ranked in the top ten with you, President Wei, Feng Qiuyan and others. You say he doesn't have the ability to fight against the legendary masters. That's strange. Could it be that Zhou Wen's results were not achieved through his own true strength? If that's the case, then I suggest that his name be quickly erased from the Rising Sun Monument to avoid tarnishing the reputation of Sunset College. Outsiders who don't know the truth might think that Sunset College students only cheat."
Wei Ge's expression changed several times after hearing this, and he could only answer firmly: "Zhou Wen's grades are of course real. Sunset College students never cheat."
"In that case, I'd really like to meet this genius who can rank among the top ten in the unified examination at the ordinary level..." John said with a smile on his face.
Zhou Wen was playing games on his bed when he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing. He took a look and saw that it was Li Xuan calling, so he chose to answer it.
"Old Zhou, something terrible has happened. That bastard John is so insidious." Li Xuan's angry voice came over.
"Don't be anxious. Tell me what happened slowly." Zhou Wen was not panicked at all.
"That bastard was in front of the Rising Sun Monument..." Li Xuan recounted what had happened, and continued anxiously, "This matter has become quite a big deal now, and the school is a bit embarrassed. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
"I see." Zhou Wen heard the doorbell ring and said to Li Xuan, "Someone rang the doorbell. It might be the princess tutor. I won't talk to you for now."
"What are you going to do?" Li Xuan asked again.
"Others are stepping on my face, what else can I do?" Zhou Wen said and hung up the phone.
When the door was opened, it was indeed the princess who came in. The princess looked at Zhou Wen and sighed softly: "Zhou Wen..."
She had only said two words when Zhou Wen interrupted her: "Teacher, I can go to the battle, take me with you."
The princess was stunned. Seeing Zhou Wen's calm expression, as if he had already made up his mind, she still asked, "Have you decided?"
"Yes, please rest assured, even if I can't win, I will never bring shame to the academy." Zhou Wen said.
"Just do your best." The princess did not think Zhou Wen could defeat John. If possible, she would rather Zhou Wen not fight.
But this matter is too big and may even affect the reputation of Sunset College. Regardless of victory or defeat, Zhou Wen needs to come forward and fight John.
The academy didn't dare to expect Zhou Wen to defeat John, they just hoped that he wouldn't lose too badly so that the academy could still operate.
The princess herself did not want Zhou Wen to fight, fearing that the positive attitude Zhou Wen had just built up would be shattered again.
John's family background and origins are better than An Jing's, and his achievements will not be much worse than An Jing's, and may even be better.
Zhou Wen hadn’t even been able to block An Jing’s move before, so the outcome was not optimistic this time against John.
