Chapter 159

"Hmm?"

"Jiang Li is gone?"

Cheng Hongyi quickly rubbed his eyes.

He discovered that Jiang Li, who had always been at the very back, unshakable, had actually vanished!

"Could it be he earned points?"

Cheng Hongyi became interested.

He quickly looked upward.

Scrolling from the tens of thousands at the very bottom up to the top ten thousand, the top thousand...

"Why isn't he there?"

Cheng Hongyi was immediately puzzled.

He's already in the top thousand, so why haven't I seen Jiang Li's name yet... Could he have been eliminated?

"No way..."

Cheng Hongyi's heart skipped a beat.

Although he hadn't been paying much attention to Jiang Li lately, if he really had been eliminated, and with a score of zero, then this Gaokao trial would undoubtedly be a failure...

"Or..."

"He ran even higher up?"

"Earned more points and natural crystals?"

"Or maybe..."

"I missed him just now."

Cheng Hongyi was reluctant to believe it.

He shook his head, blinked hard, and after adjusting his state,

he started looking again from the last place on the leaderboard.

Although the number of examinees at the entire East Sea Base was huge, since they entered the dungeon in teams, the number of ranks displayed on the leaderboard was actually not that many.

Cheng Hongyi checked carefully, daring not to miss or overlook any name.

And at this moment,

a cry of surprise suddenly came from the side.

"You... you guys look!"

"The... the first place has changed..."

"My god! Who is this? He... he actually earned one... one hundred points?!"

"What? One hundred points? Doesn't that mean he completed the Dark Elf Rescue mission?!"

"..."

Hearing the waves of exclamations from the side,

Cheng Hongyi subconsciously ignored them.

His mind was entirely focused on finding Jiang Li's rank, so he automatically tuned out the various sounds around him, concentrating only on the leaderboard.

But at this time,

the teacher beside him wore an expression of disbelief, mixed with a hint of delight.

He quickly ran over.

Patted Cheng Hongyi's shoulder:

"Old Cheng, Old Cheng, this time... you're really going to make it!"

"I apologize to you; what I said before was wrong! You really have good judgment!"

"Wrong about what? Don't bother me!"

Cheng Hongyi frowned tightly.

He pushed the other person's arm away without turning his head, his eyes still not leaving the leaderboard.

He had already checked carefully; indeed, there was no rank for Jiang Li after the thousandth place... Seeing this, he had already decided there was little hope; Jiang Li... was most likely eliminated.

"No, what are you still doing here?" The pushed-away teacher looked stunned.

He didn't understand why Cheng Hongyi was staring straight at the back of the leaderboard when clearly his student had already shot straight to the clouds, sitting at number one on the leaderboard?

"Truly unexpected, Old Cheng..."

"You said before that Jiang Li would become a dark horse, and I dismissed it, but now, I was truly wrong..." The teacher spoke with emotion, and hearing these words, Cheng Hongyi frowned, turning his head: "What do you mean by that? A dark horse? You were wrong?"

"No, didn't you see?"

Upon hearing this, the teacher was instead stunned.

He pointed to the very top of the leaderboard, "Your student, Jiang Li, has become number one..."

"What are you even talking about..."

Cheng Hongyi looked puzzled.

He thought he had misheard; how could Jiang Li... possibly become number one?

Jiang Li had just been at the very bottom of the leaderboard, with zero points...

"Wait!"
