My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 31 Missing
On the upper tier of the stands.

A group of teachers were surprised when they saw the rankings for this trial.

Even Zhang Jianwu, the head of the grade, shook his head and sighed, "Miss Chen's judgment is indeed extraordinary. It seems I misjudged her."

prior to.

He believes it is almost impossible for Jiang Ye to make it into the top three.

The results of it?
Jiang Ye actually came in second place overall.

This was completely unexpected for him.

Beside Zhang Jianwu, the cool and elegant woman in the white dress shook her head and said, "Director Zhang, you flatter me. Actually, I didn't expect Jiang Ye to get second place."

Despite saying that, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Jiang Ye's achievement this time also made her very proud.

Nearby, a teacher smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, you've gone to great lengths. It's truly remarkable that you've brought a class of students from an ordinary class to this level."

"Yes, it's all thanks to Teacher Chen."

The teachers present nodded in agreement, showing their strong approval.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zilu frowned and shook her head, saying, "You all misunderstand, this is not entirely my achievement."

"More than anything, it's Jiang Ye's own hard work that's to blame."

She explained earnestly, "Jiang Ye cultivates very diligently."

“I once heard his parents say that he would practice until one or two in the morning every night, and he did this every single day for two years of high school.”

"He worked so hard, how can you say it was all thanks to me?"

In Chen Zilu's eyes, there was a hint of seriousness and displeasure.

Jiang Ye was a student she spent a lot of time teaching, and she felt satisfied with his achievements.

But she doesn't accept that all the credit should be attributed to her alone.

She was disgusted by the notion that her achievements were due to hard work, yet people accused her of relying on connections and others' help.

Seeing the girl's expression, the teacher realized he had said the wrong thing.

Immediately, the teacher quickly corrected himself, saying, "Teacher Chen is right, hard work is also very important."

Zhang Jianwu also said, "This student has only natural talent. To achieve such results, he has put in far more effort than the average person. We cannot deny that."

Chen Zilu's expression softened slightly.

She looked at Zhang Jianwu and suddenly said:
"Director, I heard that the top three students in the first trial..."

"Will everyone get one free opportunity to undergo starry sky purification?"

Zhang Jianwu nodded: "There is one chance, but we have to wait until they have perfected their cultivation method."

Speaking of it.

His eyes also became somewhat profound.

"Jiang Ye seems to be doing well so far, but I wonder how he will perform during the Starry Sky Refinement."

As the grade director, Zhang Jianwu usually considers things from the school's perspective.

Each Starry Sky Refinement requires a significant amount of money.

The school will naturally cover these costs.

Of course, not everyone can participate; only the top three students in the trial will receive a free opportunity.

Even if you're in the top three in the final exam, it's not acceptable.

The value of the trial is much higher than that of the regular assessment.

The school does this in order to cultivate true geniuses and improve the college admission rate of the 25-school alliance.

Logically speaking, it's perfectly reasonable for Jiang Ye, who came in second place in this trial, to participate in the Starry Sky Refinement for free.

but.
“Original endowment.” Zhang Jianwu shook his head slightly.

The efficiency of the original endowment in absorbing the energy of the stars is probably less than 1%.

However, the newborn's innate talent reaches over 10%.

The innate Taoist talent accounts for more than 50%.

As for extraordinary talent? Probably over 100%.

Ancheng No. 3 Middle School may not have any outstanding natural talents, but there are quite a few gifted students among its freshmen.

Giving such a precious opportunity for refinement by the starry sky to innate talents? That would be such a waste.

If you want to achieve something based on your innate talent, hard work alone is not enough, unless you receive substantial financial support.

For schools, the benefits of these grants would far outweigh the benefits of investing in the inherent talents of new students.

The teacher who spoke earlier said that Jiang Ye's performance today was entirely due to Chen Zilu, and this wasn't just flattery. "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Chen must have personally sponsored Jiang Ye quite a bit before the trial."

Zhang Jianwu thought to himself.

Otherwise, Jiang Ye could not have made such rapid progress on his own.

"Ding dong!"

Just as Zhang Jianwu was pondering this, a cell phone suddenly rang.

Zhang Jianwu took out his phone and looked at it, then his expression suddenly froze.

"Xiao Chen."

He handed the phone to Chen Zilu and said in a low voice, "Take a look, are these students from your class?"

Chen Zilu took the phone and glanced at it; her pretty face quickly darkened.

at the same time.

Despite Li Zhichao's relentless interrogation, he still couldn't find out what medicine Jiang Ye had taken.

He looked at Jiang Ye not far away and gritted his teeth: "This guy, I've already called him godfather, and he still won't tell me!"

"Could it be that he really didn't take his medicine?"

Upon realizing this, Li Zhichao's pupils suddenly contracted.

If Jiang Ye really didn't take his medicine, then he would feel even worse!

"Forget it, I don't need to compare myself to him. I just need to become stronger."

Li Zhichao took a deep breath, his gaze hardening.

Not far away, Jiang Ye looked at Li Zhichao and laughed, "Dude, you've finally figured it out?"

Li Zhichao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't compare myself to you anymore."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye immediately smiled and said, "That's great."

He was very pleased to see the other person relieved.

The next moment, Li Zhichao clenched his fist and said, "My current goal is to challenge myself to give one acupuncture injection every day!"

His gaze was pure, devoid of any comparison with his classmates, only filled with a yearning for power.

"."

Jiang Ye remained silent for a long time, then shook his head helplessly in his heart: "This guy is really obsessed!"

"Ding dong!"

At that moment, his communication watch vibrated.

Jiang Ye opened it and saw: "It's Teacher Chen."

"Teacher Chen wants us to go to his office," he said to Li Zhichao.

Li Zhichao nodded.

The two quickly headed towards the office.

Inside Chen Zilu's office.

When Jiang Ye and his companion arrived, Chen Zilu had not yet arrived.

Ten minutes later.

A cool and elegant woman with long, slender legs, dressed in a plain white dress, walked into the office.

"Congratulations, you have all passed this trial."

Chen Zilu smiled at the two of them and took out two bags of prize money.

"Thank you, teacher."

Jiang Ye accepted one of the bags of prize money, his heart filled with joy.

This is the reward for passing this trial, a full 30,000 yuan!
Chen Zilu smiled slightly, but quickly put on a serious face and said, "Be careful when you go back this time. It's not very safe in the city lately."

"Isn't the city safe?"

Jiang Ye was taken aback; Chen Zilu had already told him about this.

Why is this being brought up again now? Could it be that something has happened?
Chen Zilu said in a low voice, "A student from our class has gone missing. Xia Qing, you all know her, right?"

"Xia Qing?"

Jiang Ye immediately thought of the girl who often brought him water.

"Xia Qing, gone missing?" Jiang Ye's pupils shrank, somewhat incredulous.
