Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

Du Cheng finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

"Ye Chen, you really are everyone's source of joy! To put on such a show just to grab attention, I, Du, admire you!"

"What a waste of everyone's time, we got nothing done!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Ye Chen and frowned in disgust.

"You're shameless! I'm embarrassed for you."

"I must have been blind to have fallen for a clown like you who only knows how to attract attention!"

The crowd below the stage instantly erupted in excitement.

"I knew it! How could a cripple possibly have talent?"

"After all that, it turns out the instrument wasn't responding. All that excitement for nothing."

"That was a slap in the face, a resounding one. If I were him, I'd want to crawl into a hole right now."

"That's really shameless. Now the whole city will know about his glorious deeds."

……

Laughter and disdain were heard incessantly.

The entire examination hall turned into a frenzy targeting Ye Chen.

However, amidst this cacophony of sounds, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Shut up, all of you!"

This loud shout, carrying immense authority, instantly silenced the entire audience.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Chief Examiner Wang on the high platform, along with several other examiners beside him, had all stood up!

The calm and composure that had been on their faces were gone.

Instead, there was unprecedented shock, excitement, and even fanaticism!

"What? What happened?"

The middle-aged man in military uniform stared intently at the testing device, his voice trembling.

"The beam of light is shining, indicating the talent exists, but there's no data on the screen... There's only one explanation for this!"

Chief Examiner Wang's breathing also became rapid.

"This T-3 testing device can only detect up to A-level talent! Once it exceeds this range..."

"It will fail to display due to data overflow!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the surrounding examiners turned red, and they trembled with excitement.

"In other words... in other words..."

"This person's talent surpasses even A-level!"

boom!

In an instant, the entire examination room seemed to be muted, completely silent.

Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

The crowd that had just been mocking Ye Chen now stood with their mouths agape, unable to utter a sound.

Surpassing Grade A?

What does this mean?

You should know that A-level talent is already considered a once-in-a-century genius!

Li Aiguo's mind went blank for a moment, and he instinctively looked at the examiner, Wang, and stammered, "..."

"Chief Examiner Wang, what did you say?"

"He's just a talentless good-for-nothing, why are you gentlemen so agitated?"

He still hasn't realized what happened.

Wang Cang completely ignored this idiot.

His eyes were only on the boy standing in front of the instrument, still calm.

With trembling hands, he took a red emergency communicator from his pocket and pressed the button on it.

A sharp, urgent sound echoed throughout the entire base.

"Urgent report! A suspected S-level talent has been discovered in the third examination room! (Repeated!)"

"Requesting highest-level support! Immediately seal off the area!"

S-rank!

When those two words came out of the examiner's mouth, they carried an undeniable weight.

The whole world fell silent.

Li Aiguo's legs went weak, and if someone hadn't been there to support him, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

His lips trembled, and his face was ashen.

S...S-class?

He just treated an S-level talent prodigy like trash and cursed him for a long time.

They even forced him to give up his spot?

Upon thinking of this, Li Aiguo's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

It’s over.

It's all over.

On the stage, Du Cheng's face lost all color at a visible speed, turning deathly pale.

What is his proud A-level talent compared to S-level talent?

It's a joke!

What a huge joke!

He just mocked Ye Chen as a clown?

It turns out the real clown was himself!

"No...it's impossible..."

Du Cheng muttered to himself in a daze, his body uncontrollably taking two steps back, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

"That's absolutely impossible! The instrument must be broken! Yes! The instrument must be broken!"

Liu Ruyan froze, standing rooted to the spot.

Her meticulously made-up face was now filled with regret, shock, and a hint of unspeakable fear.

The trash she discarded, the clown she humiliated in every way.

In the blink of an eye, he became someone that she, and even the entire Du family, had to look up to.

This reversal came too fast and too violently.

She felt a burning pain in her cheeks, a sensation of being publicly humiliated.

The more disdain they had before, the more they regret it now.

After a brief period of deathly silence, the audience below the stage erupted in cheers!

……

"Holy crap! S-rank! My God, did I hear that right?!"

"In my lifetime! I've actually witnessed the birth of an S-class talent!"

"This is incredible! Even novels wouldn't dare write a plot like this!"

"One second he's being ridiculed by thousands, the next he's become a legend! This guy's life is like a cheat code!"

"Quick! Take a picture! This is absolutely the biggest news of the year... no, the past decade!"

……

The cacophony of voices, gasps of surprise, and gasps of astonishment merged into a massive wave of sound that made one's eardrums ache.

Countless cameras were focused on that slender figure on the high platform.

Amidst this chaos and clamor.

Only Ye Chen remained calm.

He slowly withdrew his hand from the crystal ball, turned around, and looked at Du Cheng, who was now deathly pale.

At this moment, Du Cheng was no longer the arrogant man he had been before.

What did the examiner just say?

Ye Chen?

Wasn't that piece of trash already rendered useless by me?

How could he possibly detect an S-level talent?

Du Cheng could hardly believe it!

Even more unimaginable is Liu Ruyan!

She originally thought that abandoning Ye Chen and choosing to be with Du Cheng was the best decision she had ever made.

But now, Ye Chen has made a complete 180-degree turn.

S-level talent!

This is an extremely rare occurrence even nationwide!

But she herself let him go?!

……

On the stage, Wang Cang looked at the examiner in military uniform beside him.

"Check everyone present for their identities. Anyone found to be acting improperly... will be prosecuted for treason!"

"yes!"

After giving his instructions, he strode towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at him quietly, his expression calm, as if he were waiting for a bus.

"Your name is Ye Chen?"

"Yes," Ye Chen replied calmly.

"Would you mind if we talked somewhere else?"

"I'll do as you say."

"Hahaha, alright, alright, follow me!"

After saying that, Wang Cang led Ye Chen directly out of the arena.

Li Aiguo, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth again and again, as if he wanted to say something.

But upon seeing Wang Cang's cold gaze, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back.

He knew he was finished.

Even if Ye Chen doesn't pursue the matter, the higher-ups won't let him off the hook for almost killing a national talent.

The audience below the stage, however, was incredibly excited.

They kept their heads down and whispered amongst themselves.

However, the targets of their teasing became Du Cheng and Liu Ruyan, who were still standing there dumbfounded on the stage.

"Li Aiguo, that old bastard, is finished. We can finally change our principal, hahaha."

"I guess Du Cheng's chances are slim too. It all depends on whether Ye Chen will pursue the matter."

"Is it really that amazing?"

"Dude, that's S-class! One in hundreds of thousands! The nation's most coveted talent. Forget Du Cheng, even the entire Du family is no match for him!"

"He even mocked them before, and I almost fell for his trick! Damn it!"

……

Hearing the discussions below the stage, Du Cheng's face turned ashen, then black, then purple, until it flushed bright red.

A hint of madness gradually surfaced in his eyes.
