A burst of laughter erupted around them, and the gazes of the crowd toward Su Qianxue were filled with mockery and disdain.

Chen Yiming stood in the center of the crowd, enjoying the attention he received. He glanced at Su Qianxue, a smug smile playing on his lips, as if he were watching a clown.

Just then, the huge electronic screen above the hall suddenly emitted a buzzing sound and began to announce the top ten rankings of this trial in real time.

The noisy hall fell silent instantly, and everyone held their breath, staring intently at the screen.

"Tenth place, Zhang Beibei, 2100 points."

"Ninth place, Li Chen, 2140 points."

"Eighth place, Wang Xiaohu, 2200 points."

……

The rankings changed one by one, and Chen Yiming's expression grew increasingly confident. Until the name of second place appeared on the screen.

"Second place, Chen Yiming, 6000 points."

A cheer erupted in the hall.

"As expected of Young Master Chen! 6000 points, that's incredible!"

"Wait a minute, the first place winner hasn't been announced yet. Could there be someone stronger than Young Master Chen?"

Everyone looked at the top of the screen in confusion. The next second, a golden light flashed, and the name and number at the top of the list slammed into everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

"First place: Su Qianxue, 50020 points!"

Dead silence.

The entire trial hall fell into a deathly silence; one could even hear the heavy breathing of those around them.

The male student who had been so smug just moments before now had his mouth agape, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. Chen Yiming's arrogance froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and absurdity. He stared intently at the number "50020," his body trembling uncontrollably.

"50,000...50,000 points? Am I seeing things?" A student rubbed his eyes, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"This is impossible! The machine must be broken!" the girl who had mocked Su Qianxue earlier shrieked. "How could a tabby cat like her get 50,000 points? That's almost ten times higher than the second place!"

However, the golden name on the screen remained motionless, as if silently mocking everyone's ignorance.

"Impossible, the machine must be broken!" Chen Yiming gritted his teeth.

Inside the office, Dean Qin Shan stared blankly at the screen. The terrifying number made his face turn red with extreme excitement.

"Fifty thousand points... In the fifty years since the school was founded, no, in the entire history of the Dragon Soaring Empire, there has never been a freshman who could get fifty thousand points in the trial!"

Holding her contracted beast—a tabby cat—Su Qianxue walked forward step by step amidst the horrified, awe-inspiring, and ashamed gazes of the crowd. Her indifferent eyes swept over the few who had been the most vocal in their mockery, causing them to lower their heads and back away, not daring to meet her gaze.

Yi Chen stretched in Su Qianxue's arms, his emerald eyes sweeping contemptuously over the group of "unworldly" humans, before letting out a lazy meow.

"Meow." [A bunch of weaklings, so noisy.]

"Student Su Qianxue, the principal requests your presence," a female instructor said as she approached.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Although Su Qianxue's clothes were a little disheveled, the sharp aura she exuded made the surrounding students involuntarily make way for her.

A moment later, Su Qianxue walked into the principal's office.

Qin Shan, beaming with joy, asked excitedly, "Su, you're a genius! What exactly is the quality of your contracted beast?"

"Principal, I'm not quite sure either."

"This tabby cat is indeed very special. How many times has it evolved so far?"

"three times?"

"What!" Principal Qin Shan stood up. "My God, it can evolve three times so quickly! Its aptitude must be very high. If it continues like this, it is very likely to evolve into an Emperor-level Contract Beast."

"Perhaps." Su Qianxue's goal is to reach the Emperor level, or even the Mewtwo contract beast.

"Excellent! I am gratified that our Tiannan City has a genius like you."

"Thank you, Dean. There's something I must tell you." Su Qianxue took out the Lin family's token from her pocket and handed it to Qin Shan. "This is something I found inside. Please take a look."

Su Qianxue knew that this matter absolutely could not be let go, otherwise the other party would only escalate the situation further.

Qin Shan took the token, glanced at it, and his face instantly turned grim: "Hmm, what's this?"

"Principal, this is a kill order issued against me by the Lin family. They actually sent someone into the freshman trial map and almost killed me."

Qin Shan was shocked, but then he realized that this matter must be related to Wang Hai; it was a case of collusion between insiders and outsiders!

Qin Shan took out his phone and dialed the academic affairs office: "Where is Wang Hai? Call Wang Hai to my office!"

"Yes, Dean!"

Qin Shan turned his head, his tone becoming incredibly gentle, "Su, don't worry. I've already reported your grades to the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau. If all goes well, a high-ranking official will be here tomorrow, and I'm confident that Director Li will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation!"

Su Qianxue nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Dean."

"You can go back now, and I'll let you know."

"Okay, Dean." She carried Yichen out of the dean's office.

"Meow."

The tabby cat stretched out its paw and scratched its belly.

[I'm exhausted! Today's exercise level is way too high. Su Qianxue, you promised braised fish, not a single bone can be missing!]

A smile flickered in Su Qianxue's eyes as she gently tapped Yichen's nose with her fingertip.

"understood."

Meanwhile, in the principal's office.

Qin Shan hung up the phone, the ecstasy on his face caused by Su Qianxue breaking the record had vanished without a trace, replaced by a cold gloom.

Wang Hai ran away.

Just minutes before he contacted the academic affairs office, that guy with a keen sense of smell had already made his escape.

"Very good." Qin Shan tapped his fingers on the table, making a dull thud. "Did you really think you could get away with it just by running away? The Lin family..."

He picked up the internal communicator, his voice devoid of any warmth: "In the name of the academy, issue a notice to the city guards requesting assistance in the investigation, issuing a city-wide warrant for Wang Hai's arrest! Also, obtain a complete list of all the Lin family members who participated in the trial surveillance; not a single one can be missed!"

They colluded with outsiders to murder a historical genius during the freshman trials.

This is no longer a simple violation of rules, but a provocation against the entire education system of the Dragon Empire!

This matter will absolutely not be left to rest.

Su Qianxue carried Yichen as they walked back to their dormitory.

The evening breeze carried away the last trace of bloodshed in the trial realm, but it could not dispel the turmoil on the campus forum.

On the way, all the students who saw Su Qianxue subconsciously avoided her, their eyes filled with awe, fear, and a hint of envy that they couldn't hide.

Fifty thousand points!

This number is like a mountain, making all the freshmen in the same year feel suffocated.

Back in the dorm, I closed the door, shutting out all the outside noise, and my tense nerves finally relaxed after a long day.

The first thing Su Qianxue did was not to rest, but to turn on her personal computer and open a luxury food delivery app called "Royal Kitchen".

She quickly found the glittering gold dish on the menu.

Braised Dragon Fish with Secret Recipe

Not cheap.

Su Qianxue didn't even blink before placing the order.

"It's a promise. If I get first place, I'll treat you to the most expensive fish in Tiannan City. I mean it."

Yichen squinted comfortably, making a satisfied gurgling sound in its throat, and its tail tip swayed happily.

Fish! Big fish!

Half an hour later, the food arrived.

The moment the box was opened, an extremely rich aroma of soy sauce mixed with the freshness of the fish filled every corner of the dormitory.

It was a bright red dragonfish, coated in a thick sauce. The skin was slightly curled up, revealing white flesh like garlic cloves underneath, and garnished with bright green scallions. Just looking at it made one's mouth water.

Yichen's eyes widened instantly.

Just moments ago it was lying lazily, but now it suddenly squats down on the table, its two front paws gripping the edge of the plate, its nose sniffing intently, making gurgling sounds of longing in its throat, and its tail wagging behind it like a little windmill.

With that greedy look, where was the Cat Lord's majesty?
