If a month ago, after Zhuo Jing had said those words, Li Nanxing might still have worried about Xiang Beifei's state of mind collapsing and comforted him.
But once Xiang Beifei's results came out, he understood that he had underestimated the resilience of this young man.
If Xiang Beifei had been so easily defeated by Zhuo Jing's words, how could he possibly have improved so much in just two months?
Xiang Beifei replied, "Yes, it's still Liangzhou University."
"That's good! There's no need to let some people's words disrupt your own pace. It's right to boldly forge ahead. Your father was also sent to Liangzhou University on a scholarship," said Li Nanxing with a smile.
He looked at his system interface.
[N-level Awakener Xiang Beifei, initially ranked first in the Western District, your prestige +5000, ranked first in Liangzhou, your prestige +10000, ranked first in Jiuzhou, your prestige +90000]
[Current prestige value: 16005547]
Li Nanxing's awakening was to the [S-level Confucian Saint System], and Xiang Beifei's initial scores, ranking first among over five million test takers in Jiuzhou, surprisingly brought him a prestige value of 100,000!
This truly surprised him!
Because even the second-place S-level Shen Yu, who scored 679 points, only brought him 3000 prestige points.
And the third place added only 1000, as for the rest, like Yang Hua, the prestige value was the same as their exam scores.
Clearly, an N-level student, with initial scores surpassing all candidates in Jiuzhou, almost 20 points more than the top scholar of Jiuzhou, attracted immense attention!
Many people who pay attention to the overall ranking also care about where the person with the highest initial scores comes from.
If it's an S-level student, having the highest initial scores seems normal, and some people might not even check which school the student is from. It's enough just to know the student's name and feel envious.
But it's different for an N-level!
This year, the student with the highest initial scores is not S-level but an N-level Awakener with the most common talent!
This is major news!
S-level is expected! N-level is an underdog's rise!
The gates of elite universities were never open to N-level students.
Xiang Beifei had anticipated this, but he hadn't given up and said, "Then I need to try."
Li Nanxing nodded slightly, "I knew you would. Regardless of the outcome, I will help you make an attempt. That old friend mentioned that the assessment would be very difficult. Although he didn't go into detail, he mentioned that the person responsible for the assessment had a personal vendetta against your father."
Xiang Beifei furrowed his brows.
Li Nanxing sighed, "Your father was an SR-level Awakener and a highly talented graduate of Liangzhou University, but any outstanding individual is bound to make enemies. I am not very clear about the specifics, but it's said that the person handling the assessment is someone named Yuchi Shen. During his school days, he was chastised by your father. Later, Yuchi Shen became a faculty member at Liangzhou University, and now he has encountered you; you must understand the implications."
An old enemy disappeared, but now the enemy's son was coming to study at the school where he taught, and he was in charge of the entrance assessment—what a perfect opportunity for revenge.
If he couldn't get even with your dad back then, would he let you off now?
Anyone aware of the details would probably understand that the entrance assessment, tainted by personal grudges, was no longer fair.
"Even missing, he didn't forget to leave a trap for me!" Xiang Beifei mused.
Where exactly Xiang Tianxing and his wife had gone, he had no recollection, and leaving him to be cared for by his grandfather was one thing, but now even attending school came with special attention; his father, whom he had never met, was indeed capable.
"Yes, I think your father inadvertently left you a significant problem!" Li Nanxing sighed. He knew the difficulty of Xiang Beifei's entrance examination had essentially increased.
Yet—
Xiang Beifei, watching Xiaohei napping on his shoulder, still had a calm and steady gaze.
Many people liked to cause him trouble.
But in the system world, what he least feared was trouble!
It was just unknown how many opponents Xiang Tianxing made in school. It would have been better to inherit an enemy directory, so he could seek them out one by one. Otherwise, it might be embarrassing to mistakenly take someone else's system items.
Those who had been bullied by Xiang Tianxing wanting to bully his son for revenge? No problem, he'd take a little notebook and jot down names; when the time came, Xiang Beifei could help them with their tasks.
If he encountered someone who had bullied Xiang Tianxing and wanted to continue bullying his son? That was okay too. He'd also take a little notebook and jot that down, considering it revenge for his old man.
Two birds with one stone!
