After roughly understanding his abilities, Ye Feng returned to his room with satisfaction.
The next day.
Ye Feng received a call from the Academy.
“Hello, this is Professor Lei. May I ask if this is Student Ye Feng?!” An old man’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled. Although he was familiar with this name, he had forgotten it after a period of time.
“I am. Why?” Ye Feng replied indifferently. His first thought was that the award ceremony for the freshmen assessment might be held soon.
“It’s like this. The Academy will hold a convention for the freshmen tomorrow. Before that, there is something I need to talk to you about,” Professor Lei said cheerfully.
“Hmm? What is it?”
“It’s like this. According to the progress of the previous years, after the freshmen assessment, there will be a student ranking assessment, which is what you call the Promotion Exam.”
“Not everyone can participate in the Promotion Exam. Only students who perform well in the freshmen assessment are qualified to participate. After all, this is a ranking assessment. Not only you freshmen will participate, but many older students will also participate in this competition.”
“So that’s how it is.” Ye Feng understood and couldn’t help but nod.
“Right, we’ll discuss the specific details face to face. When are you free?”
Facing Professor Lei’s inquiry, Ye Feng thought for a moment and immediately gave an answer. “This afternoon.”
“Okay, then you can come directly to the office to look for me this afternoon!”
“Okay.” Just as Ye Feng finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
‘I didn’t expect that I would have to participate in the Promotion Exam so soon,’ Ye Feng muttered in his heart. After washing up briefly and eating the breakfast that his mother had prepared, Ye Feng bade farewell to his parents.
After Ye Feng took the bullet train to Cloud Mist City, he changed to the school bus.
Although the geographical location of Cloud Mist Academy was superior, it was also on a mountain. Ordinary cars would not go there.
Fortunately, there was a bus stop around the train station that was specially designed for the students of Cloud Mist Academy.
If they did not have this bus, they would not be able to enter the Academy.
This was because they simply could not find where the Academy was!
They took the bus and arrived at the entrance of the Academy. After Ye Feng walked into the Academy, he headed straight for the dormitory area.
There was still some time before the afternoon. Ye Feng could go back and prepare some materials and hand them over to Professor Lei in the afternoon.
Along the way, Ye Feng saw many familiar faces. They were all the freshmen he had met during the freshmen assessment.
About three to five groups gathered together and discussed in low voices.
Seeing Ye Feng walk in from outside, everyone immediately stopped talking and turned their heads to stare at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng greeted everyone with a smile.
A handsome boy frowned and stared at Ye Feng as he asked, “Are you Ye Feng?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Yes… Hello.” Hearing Ye Feng’s confirmation, the boy’s expression eased up a lot, and he revealed a kind smile.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people became silent, and their eyes flickered with an inexplicable luster.
Ye Feng was keenly aware that the senior students around him were looking at him with hostility. They seemed to be unhappy.
After all, there was still Professor Lei’s task waiting to be completed. Ye Feng didn’t want to cause any more trouble for the time being.
After entering the dormitory building, Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered to take the elevator. After all, the dormitory was on the second floor. It was faster to take the stairs.
He pushed open the dormitory door, but there was no one there.
“This guy Su Bai, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him appear in the dormitory normally…” Ye Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If this senior who had been held back for 12 years was as diligent in his studies as he was in picking up girls… He would have become a famous figure in China long ago!
Ye Feng only tidied up a little. After taking the rewritten Water Elemental Secret Manual, he went straight to the office building.
Knock, knock. He knocked on Professor Lei’s office. Not long after, Professor Lei opened the door and welcomed Ye Feng in.
“Student Ye Feng, you’re finally here.”
“Teacher, sorry for the wait.” Ye Feng nodded and walked in.
“Come, sit down and have a cup of tea first.” Professor Lei beckoned Ye Feng to sit down and then personally poured Ye Feng a cup of hot tea.
Ye Feng did not stand on ceremony and took a sip from the teacup.
The office was arranged very neatly. Other than tables, chairs, and benches, there were also some potted plants.
Beside the office table sat a grey-haired old man wearing glasses. He wore a white lab coat and his hair was combed meticulously. He was holding a document in his hand and reading it carefully.
Professor Lei put down the document he was reading and looked at Ye Feng with a smile.
Ye Feng did not waste any time and directly handed the information in his hand to Professor Lei. “Teacher, I have already finished modifying the Water Elemental Secret Manual. Can you take a look?”
“So fast?” Professor Lei was stunned.
He did not expect that Ye Feng could actually use such a short time to make the Water Elemental Secret Manual so detailed.
“Yes, I used two days to finish it,” Ye Feng softly replied. “Please take a look, Teacher.”
“You are indeed a genius.”
After reading the document, Professor Lei raised his head and looked at Ye Feng with a smile, praising him.
“Teacher, you flatter me.”
“Haha, this isn’t a flatter, it’s a fact!” Professor Lei laughed loudly. “Although our Academy has many talented students, I see that your aptitude is definitely high-grade. Not bad! Not bad!”
Professor Lei flipped through Ye Feng’s modified Water Elemental Secret Manual, the smile on his face becoming brighter and brighter.
“Not bad, this edition is much more complete than the one you gave us before. Where did you find all these documents? I’ve actually never seen them before!”
Under Professor Lei’s inquiry, Ye Feng also smiled. “I found these online before. They might not be all right, but it’s probably in this direction.”
“Not bad! Not bad at all!” Professor Lei nodded in satisfaction.
After putting down the teacup, Professor Lei said to Ye Feng with a smile, “Student Ye Feng, although there was an accident in the freshmen assessment, it doesn’t prevent you from finishing the assessment as the first place.”
“Well, it’s about the same,” Ye Feng said modestly.
Professor Lei continued to smile and said, “In this Promotion Exam, ten spots will be selected from you freshmen. The rules of this competition are very simple. It’s just a round robin. However, considering that your combat ability isn’t outstanding, I suggest you pretend to be stronger when the time comes so that you can suppress the other party in terms of aura.”
“After all, after the freshmen assessment, your reputation is very big in our Academy. Almost everyone knows your name!”
“But you don’t have to worry. Even if your ranking isn’t high, you’ve participated in the Promotion Exam, and it still represents a supreme honor. Moreover, you have an advantage, so the competition should be relatively small. Perhaps you can get some results.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded slightly. “So that’s how it is.”
Then Ye Feng asked again, “Then how exactly does the Academy organize this freshmen convention?”
