Chapter 136 Breaking the Highest Record (3rd Update)
Wu Mingzhe saw that Lin Mo remained silent, and immediately became even more arrogant:
"Got nothing to say, huh? I warned you not to be so full of yourself!"
"I, Wu Mingzhe, have been the top student of the whole school for two years running, unbeatable!"
"You thought you could just tolerate it, but you even dared to bet with me."
"Now, not only have you thrown away ten million for nothing, but you're not even on the list of passing grades—truly embarrassing."
At that moment, Jiang Yingxue stepped forward, her pretty eyes slightly furrowed as she glanced at him and said:
"Wu Mingzhe, you are our class's top student, and the teacher is proud of you. But do you find it amusing to use your excellent results to belittle others?"
Wu Mingzhe just smiled, his expression even more arrogant:
"Mr. Jiang, this isn't boasting or belittling him; he was the one who acted high and mighty in front of me and bet that if he lost, he would pay the other person ten million!"
"Now that I've won, he must give me the ten million!"
"Also, Mr. Jiang, someone who is so arrogant and yet can't even pass their exams doesn't belong in our exceptional Class Nine of the senior year."
Hearing this, Zhong Qiaomeng stood up and said to Wu Mingzhe:
"Wu Mingzhe, even though Lin Mo might not have passed this exam, don't you think your words are a bit too much?"
"Have you forgotten the last time at the gymnasium? If it weren't for Lin Mo, our whole school would have been humiliated!"
Not only Zhong Qiaomeng, but Song Shiman also smiled and looked warmly at Lin Mo:
"Though he may have fallen short in academics, his place in my heart hasn't diminished one bit."
"If he wanted to be my boyfriend, who cares if he scored zero? Being too perfect would just mean countless rivals!"
Seeing this, the expressions on Wu Mingzhe and Zhou Yitao's faces darkened and grew uglier.
They had thought that in school, apart from everything else, girls would value grades the most.
Yet here was Lin Mo, who didn't even make the passing list, receiving support from so many beautiful girls defending and supporting him.
This made Zhou Yitao and Wu Mingzhe feel quite bitter.
As for Cheng Miaohan, she felt somewhat disappointed deep down.
Lin Mo was nearly perfect in her eyes, yet his casual and indifferent performance in academics was a stark contrast.
Nonetheless, the smugness and arrogance on Wu Mingzhe's face did not diminish in the slightest.
This was a rare chance to belittle Lin Mo in front of so many people.
Basketball, swimming, Taekwondo, and more—so many activities where Wu Mingzhe excelled and was nearly unbeatable, he had been completely defeated by Lin Mo.
Now he was ranked first in the whole school, second in the entire Shu Province!
What about Lin Mo? Not even on the passing list!
The difference between them was like heaven and earth!
How could Wu Mingzhe let go of such a perfect opportunity?
Looking at Lin Mo with immense pride, he sneered triumphantly:
"Lin Mo, aren't you extremely skilled in every area? I, Wu Mingzhe, concede basketball, Taekwondo, and swimming to you, but this time, my academic performance is a solid ten times, a hundred times superior to yours."
"This time, you've lost! Ten million is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for you; I know you probably can't pay it, but I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and apologize. Say, 'I was wrong, Brother Zhe,' and I won't ask you for the ten million. How about it?"
Wu Mingzhe's face was all smiles, basking in the pleasure of the moment.
He was eagerly waiting for Lin Mo to kneel and call him Brother Zhe.
Bang!
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Mo kicked him flying with one swift move, looking down at him with an indifferent expression.
Wu Mingzhe was in excruciating pain, nearly vomiting blood, but he patted his behind, suppressing the pain, and glared at Lin Mo furiously as he roared:
"F*ck! Lin Mo, what the hell are you pretending for? I'm the one who got first place this time, not you!!"
"You didn't follow through with the bet after losing, and then you hit me; you're not a man!"
"My score isn't even one percent of yours, what are you so proud of? You're nothing but a stri..."
Wu Mingzhe hadn't finished his sentence when the surrounding students saw a middle-aged man staggering and hurrying over toward them.
That middle-aged man was none other than Principal Zhang Chengdong.
What was he doing here? And by the looks of it, it seemed like there was something very important.
Seeing Zhang Chengdong stride towards the students of Class 12, Grade 3, everyone present was taken aback.
Could it be that Zhang Chengdong specifically came for Wu Mingzhe? After all, Wu Mingzhe did achieve first place in the entire school and second in Shu Province, which certainly warranted public recognition.
Wu Mingzhe was also a bit excited. Being praised by the principal on the spot—what an honor that was?
However, the next second, what nobody expected happened.
Thump!
Zhang Chengdong suddenly fell to the ground, right in front of Lin Mo.
Everyone was stunned, and a few of the boys even panicked and said:
"The principal hasn't gone epileptic, has he?"
But Zhang Chengdong glared fiercely at those boys and cursed annoyed: "You motherf*ckers are the ones with epilepsy! I was scared! I was excited!"
"What?" The crowd was stunned again.
Yet Zhang Chengdong pointed at Lin Mo, his voice almost hoarse with excitement:
"Do you motherf*ckers know how many points this kid scored?"
"800 points!!"
He was pointing at Lin Mo.
"What... what?"
"Eight hundred... eight hundred points? That's bullshit! The highest score for the college entrance exams is only 750 points!"
Regardless of the shocked looks in everyone's eyes, Zhang Chengdong excitedly said:
"That's because he scored more than the perfect score! So, the system couldn't record his score! That's why his name isn't on the school's ranking list!"
"Eight hundred points—that's the score given by a joint review of seventeen top universities in Huaxia!"
"This kid, do you know what he did? For the original questions, he actually used another piece of blank paper to write twenty-one different solutions, methods! He has broken the highest score record in Huaxia's exam history!!"
What... what?
Suddenly, the entire sports field exploded like a pot, and countless hearts were bombarded as if with countless rockets!
To their deaths, they couldn't believe it was real!
As for Wu Mingzhe, he had been scared stupid already, like a vegetative person, his mouth agape for a good thirty seconds, still maintaining an original look of horror.
Not only him, but Cheng Miaohan also stepped back five or six steps continuously, her beautiful eyes staring at Lin Mo, almost wishing she could see through every meridian and piece of flesh in his body!
And girls like Jiang Yingxue, Zhong Qiaomeng, Song Shiman, Ye Lingxin, and Su Xinhe had nothing in their eyes but shock, utter shock!
It was at this moment that a swarm of middle-aged men and old men wearing golden glasses and wearing gray and brown coats rushed over to this side.
When they saw the faces of those people, some of the top students suddenly cried out in horror:
"Holy sh*t! Huaqing's Professor Li, Xia Bei's Principal Wang, Jianchuan University's Dr. Ma, and the Imperial City's prestigious private academy..."
"F*ck, what the hell is going on?"
Many students, who had never witnessed such a shocking, earth-shattering scene, had never seen so many prestigious, top universities' mid and older generation people rushing to Qingye High School at the same time.
Moreover, they looked like they didn't care one bit about their own image, afraid of being one step behind their peers, each sprinting like a hundred-meter dash.
