"Principal Hua, you flatter me. Tang Yungui is indeed very hardworking. His achievements are the result of his own efforts!"
Lin Yi smiled faintly, maintaining his humble attitude."Moreover, his current achievements are also thanks to the Academy's teachings. All these years, although he was unable to condense an alchemy fire, his Foundation is extremely solid! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to help him improve so much in such a short time!"
"Hahaha, well said! Dean Sima didn't want to take credit, but this old man was thick-skinned and took it seriously!"
Hua Yao was in a good mood, and he chatted with Lin Yi for a while before continuing to review the papers.
In the end, there were a total of nine people who got a full five points. Most of them got 4.5 points, and only a few people, about thirty or so, got four points.
There was almost no one below four points ... But there was still one who only got 3.5 points.
Coincidentally, this person's teacher was also among the teachers who were marking his paper. He was so angry that he tore his paper on the spot and crossed out his score. He was considered to have withdrawn from the assessment!
There was still a chance to catch up with the 0.5 point gap in the second round, but the 1.5 point gap was basically a huge chasm!
It would be embarrassing to stay, so he might as well quit to save some face!
In the hall of rites, Ouyang Fantong was still entangled with Tang Yungui. She was relying on her numbers to bully him.
"Hahaha, Tang Yungui, why aren't you talking? The time for one incense stick to burn is almost up, and the results are about to be announced. Are you ready to call me daddy? Don't worry, daddy will love you!"
The crowd burst into laughter. Tang Yungui's expression was cold as he said indifferently, "We'll see who's calling who daddy after the announcement!"
"Oh, you're still not convinced! Ouyang, this kid isn't convinced. After the assessment is over, we have to clean up!"
"If not for the fact that we're taking the examination in the hall of rites right now, I would have already taught him a lesson!"
"If I don't beat him up for a few days, he'll most likely be a little arrogant!"
……
Ouyang Fantong's followers all expressed that they wanted to teach Tang Yungui a lesson. At that moment, the results of the first round of written exams were announced.
The first was Tang Yungui!
They were both five points, and there was no order in the rankings, but there would always be someone whose name was at the top.
Even if it's meaningless, it'll look better!
As the principal, it was not a problem for Hua Yao to make use of his authority to do something that would not affect the fairness of the assessment.
They did this because they didn't want Tang Yungui to be a child they raised, and also because they wanted to give Lin Yi face. It would be glorious for Lin Yi's disciple to be ranked first.
Tang Yungui's eyes also brightened. He smiled and looked at Ouyang Fantong."Good-for-nothing from the Ouyang family, did you see that? I, Tang Yungui, have a full score of five points. What else do you have to say?"
The veins on Ouyang Fantong's forehead popped out. He had heard the word "good-for-nothing" again. What was even more annoying was that Tang Yungui had actually gotten full marks!
"So what? It's probably because you have an honorary Dean as your master that the grading teacher gave you face and got full marks, right?"
Ouyang Fantong gritted her teeth and mocked Tang Yungui. "That's all you can do! So what if it's a perfect score, this young master also got a perfect score! Did you beat me? I don't think so?"
"There really isn 't, but so what? You've been showing off in front of me for half a day, but you still can't beat me, can you? Your name is even behind mine. In this case, you've actually lost. Since you've lost, you must accept your loss. Quickly call me daddy!"
Tang Yungui had been ridiculed by so many people just now. Now, he could finally hold his head high. When he started to mock, no one came out to help him.
"What do you mean lose? This young master also got a perfect score, and with the same perfect score, what's the point of winning or losing? It's a draw this time!"
No matter how unwilling Ouyang Fantong was to admit it, she could only say this! If his name was at the top of the list, he would not say that it was a draw. Instead, he would go after Tang Yungui.
Hua Yao must have noticed the bet and put Tang Yungui's name at the top of the list. It was the third use!
"Tang Yungui, since it's a draw, we can't just let it go. We'll compete again in the second round of practical assessment! Old rules, whoever loses has to call the other party "father," and you have to kneel and kowtow ten times. Do you dare to accept?"
Ouyang Fantong had not given up. She had failed to beat Tang Yungui in the written test, so she wanted to beat him in the practical test!
In the past, Tang Yungui couldn't even form an elixir fire. He was a complete waste of elixir refining!
Although things were different now, Ouyang Fantong still didn't think that Tang Yungui would have any achievements in the practical assessment.
In theory, potions could be made without the alchemy fire. However, if one used the alchemy fire, the quality of the potions would be many times higher!
Tang Yungui had never had the chance to practice it before, so it would be strange if he won!
Ouyang Fantong thought that she was an outstanding disciple of the Ouyang family and an elite student of the Fuyao pill refining school. She had been in this position for many years. If she couldn't beat Tang Yungui, then she might as well buy a piece of tofu and die!
"What's there to be afraid? Although it's a little embarrassing to take in a good-for-nothing as a son, if I don't agree to your strong request, I'll be too inhumane! Let's do this! With so many witnesses, aren't you afraid that you'll renege on your debt!"
Tang Yungui agreed without hesitation. Now that he could even refine low-grade elixirs of high-grade quality, what was a mere potion?
"Alright, you've all seen the results of the first round. You're also clear of your own position. The second round of practical assessment is about to begin. Whether you can enter the third round will all depend on your own performance!"
Hua Yao spoke on the stage, temporarily stopping the conversation between Tang Yungui and Ouyang Fantong."Return to your seats. The effects of the potion and the incomplete formula will be announced immediately. You will figure it out and fill in the formula. Then, the materials will be distributed together, and you will refine the finished potion by yourself."
"The final score will be based on the quality and effect of the medicine! Do you all understand? If you understand, then quickly return to your positions!"
After Hua Yao finished speaking, the students quickly returned to their seats.
Ouyang Fantong, who was next to Tang Yungui, made a throat-slitting gesture. Tang Yungui returned a look of disdain.
Ouyang Fantong didn't continue to provoke him, but started to think about how she could guarantee her victory in the second round.
He had underestimated Tang Yungui in the first round. Although he was confident this time, he did not dare to be careless. He had to ensure that he would win!
"Next, we'll look at the effects of the potion and the incomplete formula. After everyone has read through it, you can start to complete the formula!"
After Hua Yu finished speaking, a huge cloth curtain descended from the high platform. On it were many large words-it was the topic of the second round of practical assessment!
