Chapter 9: The Leader’s Certificate and Winning First Place
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Watching Xu Hao leave, Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui didn’t take it to heart. After all, he was only an elite student.
Puke!
The tall guy was kneeling on the ground and retching. Xu Hao’s punch was not light, and he could not stand up for a while.
“Is there no one else who can help to register? Then I’m going to go directly to the academy’s administrative office to complain about your trial secret realm team!”
Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui walked back to the registration counter. Seeing that the two guys had not returned, Yan Wuyue snorted.
“There is…”
The short fatty could only stand up from the ground with great difficulty. He endured the pain and limped to the registration desk while touching his thigh.
Yan Wuyue was expressionless. She took out a package from her backpack and threw it on the counter in front of the short fatty.
The short fatty quickly steadied the bag, then opened it and poured out all the certificates inside.
The certificates covered the table with a rustling sound. While he was marveling at the amazing number of certificates, the fat on his body suddenly trembled.
This was because he saw the most eye-catching one among all the certificates. It was also a unique one in the entire secret realm, and it belonged to the leader of the secret realm.
“This, this, this …”
The short fatty trembled and became incoherent.
“What’s wrong, fatty?”
At this time, the tall guy had also recovered and came behind the short fatty.
When he saw the only certificate in the entire secret realm, he was stunned.
In the previous four batches, not a single student had been able to take down the leader of the secret realm. It was clear how powerful the leader was.
But this time, he didn’t expect that it would be defeated by Yan Wuyue, who summoned a skeleton. It was truly unacceptable and unimaginable.
“Is there a problem with the certificate?”
Yan Wuyue immediately asked with a frown.
“No, no problem. With your battle record, you’re undoubtedly the first place in this trial. Congratulation.”
The short fatty quickly complimented Yan Wuyue while registering, completely forgetting the fact that the two of them had wanted to take advantage of her.
Yan Wuyue didn’t care. Since she had already registered, she could go to the rest area at the back.
In the resting area, Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui found a corner to sit down in, and they began to close their eyes to rest.

Very quickly, as the trial time ended, more and more students began to enter the lounge.
“Why did Yan Wuyue arrive first?”
“That’s right, didn’t she summon a little skeleton? How can she be the first to arrive even with a piece of trash?”
“Could it be that she deliberately went around those monsters to be the first to reach here?”
“Then it’s no use coming here first. This result doesn’t count. However, she should have been eliminated directly.”
“Could she have used something in exchange to make the people bring her here?”
“Not necessarily. Who knows.”
There was a burst of whispering around, completely ignoring the fact that Yan Wuyue was still in the lounge.
The most unpleasant words came from the female students who had been constantly fawning over Yan Wuyue in the past.
Zhou Mingrui turned to look at Yan Wuyue, but he saw no change in her expression. It was as if she had not heard anything. She looked calm.
This scene changed Zhou Mingrui’s opinion of her. After all, the fact that she was able to achieve such a level of calmness despite all the gossip was enough to prove how strong her heart was.

“Silence!”
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded from the door, and the entire classroom immediately fell silent.

Everyone’s gazes turned to the door. A middle-aged man wearing a red robe with golden patterns walked in. His facial features were firm, and he exuded an aura of might without being angry.
“It seemed like all of you are very happy, right?”
After the middle-aged man entered the lounge, he looked around at the students inside and said with a frown.
Other than Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue, the other students couldn’t help but sit up straight when his gaze swept across them.
“I’ve seen your results.”
The middle-aged man raised his hand and waved the report card in his hand. He then said angrily, “As the dean of the Heavenly Saint Academy, I have presided over almost ten trials, but this is the first time I have seen such a terrible result!”
“In the end, you still have the face to be self-satisfied here. Aren’t you ashamed?”
All the students present lowered their heads at this scolding, except for Yan Wuyue, who looked at this scene calmly.
“Of course, only one person’s grades were passable in my eyes. If the others were to follow my standard, everyone would all fail!”
The dean looked at Yan Wuyue, who was sitting by the window in the corner.
“This student is in the first place in this year’s freshmen trial. And also the first student to defeat the leader of the secret realm in four consecutive years!”
“Her score is ahead of the second place by a full sixty percent. You can say that she crushed all of you!”
“She’s Yan Wuyue!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately turned to look at Yan Wuyue in the corner.
Almost everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. After all, her summoned spirit was only a small skeleton.
Moreover, looking at the skeleton’s current appearance, it had obviously reached a certain level and was about to evolve into the next level of skeleton knight.

“All of you should know about Yan Wuyue’s summoned spirit, but she still won first place in the trial and killed the leader of the secret realm.”
“Look at yourselves!”
At the dean’s reminder, the students present were terrified after thinking about it carefully. It could be said that Yan Wuyue had completed all these with her ability while carrying a burden.
The way everyone looked at Yan Wuyue had changed from the previous contempt to astonishment, and then the eyes of most students quickly turned into admiration.
There was no joy or sorrow on Yan Wuyue’s face as if this matter was nothing to her.
However, at this moment, her heart was in a completely different state. This was because 90% of these battle results were attributed to Zhou Mingrui.
Even with her personality from two lives, it was already good enough that she could control herself and not blush.
Furthermore, it was useless for Yan Wuyue to explain this matter. First of all, Zhou Mingrui was still her summoned spirit in the eyes of others.
No matter how powerful Zhou Mingrui was, the results would only be counted on her. Therefore, Yan Wuyue could only go against her conscience and accept the results.
At that moment, her impression of Zhou Mingrui had undergone a 360-degree change. She no longer had any conflicting feelings towards him.

Of course, she had also been trying her best to kill the trial monsters and had even helped to attract monsters and aggro. She had also put in a lot of hard work.
Therefore, she was still qualified to enjoy the attention and glory.
Hmm, she wasn’t consoling herself. Zhou Mingrui wasn’t saying anything either.
Zhou Mingrui felt Yan Wuyue’s gaze and gave her a strange look, but he didn’t say anything.
“Did you see that? Even though she won first place, Yan Wuyue is still humble and doesn’t have any arrogance. You have to learn from her!”
“However, this trial secret realm is only an appetizer. The main purpose is to test the tacit understanding between you and the summoned spirit.”
“The interschool championships next month will be the place where all of you will truly display your talents!”

“I hope that all of you will be able to learn from your mistakes and continue to improve yourselves. I hope that all of you will be able to achieve a result that will make you, your family, and the academy proud!”
