Chapter 120 - The Top Three

After their release, they would undoubtedly persist in their wicked ways.

Moral constraints were futile with such individuals.

They would feel no shame in being incarcerated.

Naturally, all this hinged on one condition: the woman had reported the incident to the police.

Had she not made that call, these individuals wouldn't have even seen the inside of a jail cell.

What purpose did such vile beings serve in the world?

This was precisely why Ye Hao was determined to see them punished.

Ye Hao then set this issue aside and powered up his computer to continue his research on ancient poetry.

With the results being announced tomorrow and the qualifiers soon after, Ye Hao had little time to spare.

Truth be told, Ye Hao didn't need to review these materials; his score alone was more than sufficient to secure the title of champion.

Yet, Ye Hao was a stickler for perfection.

The College Proverb Championship was an annual event that captivated families nationwide with its live broadcasts.

”I'm Wen Xing, a reporter with the Weyphia Daily Newspaper Office. According to my sources, this year's top three achievers have all entered the National Proverb Championship,” Wen Xing said, her demeanor more mature and her speech smoother than just a few months prior.

“Ye Hao from Weyphia City is also competing.”

“As many know, four months ago, Ye Hao missed the SAT exam and, consequently, the champion title. What will his performance be in this year's National Proverb Championship eliminations?”

“Let's wait and see.”

Wen Xing was eager to get in touch with Ye Hao for an exclusive interview.

But she couldn't get through to his phone.

While reporting, Wen Xing scanned the surroundings and then spotted Ye Hao.

“There's Ye Hao! Follow me, quickly,” she called out, dashing toward him with the camera crew in tow.

Ye Hao turned and greeted Wen Xing with a smile, “Here we are again.”

Glancing at the camera, Wen Xing asked, “Ye Hao, do you have a message for the students of Weyphia?”

“Is this live?” Ye Hao whispered.

“In 42nd place is Xu Mengmeng from Riverdale College, scoring 818 points.”

“Claiming the 11th spot is Ann Feng from Westwood Institute with 868 points.”

At that moment, the crowd was electrified with anticipation.

The national media's eyes were glued to the massive screen.

“10th place goes to Zhao Fanghua of Comprehensive University, with 885 points.”

“9th place is awarded to Ling Hongyuan from the University of Political Science and Law, scoring 886 points.”

“8th place belongs to Qian Sihong from the Military Academy, with 888 points.”

“7th place is Kong Mingxuan from the University of Finance and Economics, scoring 889 points.”

“Mo Haoyuan from Cypress Institute takes 6th place with 891 points.”

“In 5th place is Xiang Yong from the University of Political Science and Law, with a score of 899 points.”

“4th place is Lee Xun from Comprehensive University, with an impressive 958 points.”

The revelation of Lee Xun's score sent a shockwave through the audience.

The staggering 59-point gap between 5th and 4th place was beyond anyone's expectations.

“It's not even close to the same league.”

“Fourth place is a whole 59 points ahead of fifth.”

“Have you noticed all the top ten are from the six elite academies?”

“Wait, there's an exception.”

“True, there are two spots left for the elite six, which must be Faang Wen and Ming Yue. That means a university has broken into the top three.”

“Who could the dark horse be?”

“Could it be Ye Hao?”

“There's a real chance. He's got genuine talent.”

“If Ye Hao clinches the title, it'll be a blow to Faang Wen's pride.”

“Still, the odds of Ye Hao taking the crown seem slim.”

By now, many students were speculating that Ye Hao had made it into the top three.
