My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 129 - 128: First Place in Both Rounds!?

After a brief shock, the students and staff present couldn’t help but discuss fervently.

Although it’s not unheard of for a student to rank first at Ancestral Hall Campus, after all, who doesn’t have dumplings during New Year?

But to be honest, the frequency is indeed not high.

Excellent students with high overall qualities are recruited early into campuses with higher rankings, and Ancestral Hall Campus generally can only select among the less outstanding.

This results in many instances where, throughout an entire grade, there isn’t a single student who secures first place.

"Is this for real? Hiding such talent!"

"Which class is this Lv Bai in?"

"I think they said class 05B, didn’t even make it into class A."

Some who knew Lv Bai, or were in the same class, found it even more unbelievable and ludicrous.

In their perception, Lv Bai was still that person who wouldn’t hit back when beaten and endured silently.

Lv Bai? First place?

Can these two even be paired together?

...

At this moment, Lv Bai was already surrounded in the middle.

Students and faculty around him were speaking nonstop, throwing out words of praise and flattery.

A student who ranks first in the first three rounds is indeed an exceptional potential candidate.

It doesn’t cost anything to speak, and it might even help this potential candidate remember you.

"Everyone."

Chen Li walked towards Lv Bai, followed by a few counselors behind him.

As the person with the highest rank present, Chen Li’s presence at least silenced the crowd around Lv Bai.

Chen Li glanced around at everyone, barely managing a smile: "The ranking hasn’t been verified yet, don’t spread it wildly, but our campus’s performance in this round of Death Fighter was good, I hope everyone continues to maintain it."

After saying a few polite remarks, Chen Li patted Lv Bai on the shoulder forcefully.

With a forced smile, he said, "Hehe, you’re pretty good, even learned how to lie."

"It’s true."

Lv Bai still wore a harmless smile.

However, although he was telling the truth, from Chen Li’s perspective, it seemed like sheer stubbornness.

Stopping Liang Fuzhong, who tried to speak, Chen Li questioned.

"Alright, so tell me, what was your ranking in the first round of Death Fighter?"

"Also first."

"Pfft~" Chen Li was genuinely amused by this.

Even if the ability group was random, it wasn’t entirely impossible to get first place.

But, getting first in two consecutive rounds?

Upon hearing Lv Bai’s response, everyone’s first reaction was that they must have misheard.

Swish, swish, swish...

Each person turned their head, their gazes fixed on Lv Bai. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Mockery, amusement, barely contained laughter — all these expressions were present.

The only ones absent were amazement and envy.

Isn’t it standard to at least draft a plan before lying?

What does consecutive first-place mean?

Forget about the Ancestral Hall Campus, even in the entire history of Underground City No. 9, students achieving such results in the first three rounds can be counted on one hand.

"There’s a limit to such nonsense."

Chen Li felt somewhat disinterested, convinced that Lv Bai was just trying to garner attention.

Turning to the surroundings, he spoke earnestly aloud: "The school hopes for everyone to achieve good results but also understands the difficulty of the Death Fighter challenge. The school can accept poor results but will never allow such absurd lies!"

"Indeed."

"How long has it been since a student reported false scores?"

"Old Liang, this student of yours..."

"Tsk tsk, it’s also important to focus on the students’ character."

A few counselors present decisively echoed Chen Li’s criticism.

Chen Li turned back to Lv Bai: "Lv Bai, I don’t think you fit in our campus anymore."

"Expulsion?" Lv Bai confirmed.

Chen Li replied: "You could interpret it that way."

Notably, even in such an awkward situation, Lv Bai remained calm and unfazed, with a smile growing even brighter.

"87****1062, 87****0023."

He calmly recited two strings of numbers, adding: "These are my Death Arena numbers for both rounds."

The staff beside him, due to their responsibilities, immediately recorded the numbers and conducted a query, even though they didn’t believe such a claim was possible.

After each Death Fighter match concludes, all inquiry information is entered into the Death Fighter database.

All verifications and deductions regarding the Death Fighter challenge rely on this comprehensive database.

So as long as there’s a Death Arena number, retrieving the top ten information from there is quite easy.

"In that case, may I leave now?"

"Feel free."

Chen Li waved his hand, not even bothering to glance at Lv Bai again.

Liang Fuzhong watched Lv Bai’s departing back, sighing inwardly.

He hadn’t expected Lv Bai to create such a big fuss like he’d lost his mind, leaving him, as a counselor, with no chance to mediate.

"Old Liang, if this sort of thing happens again, you might as well not be a counselor anymore."

Chen Li coldly threw this remark at Liang Fuzhong before preparing to return to the stage.

"Director Chen."

But before Chen Li could take a few steps, a staff member holding a tablet stopped him.

The staff member had an incredulous look, stammering slightly as they reported.

"The database shows that the first place in those two Death Fighter matches... seems to indeed be named Lv Bai?"

Chen Li abruptly turned his head, his face flushing awkwardly.

"Who did you say is named Lv something?!"

...

"Director Chen, come with me."

The Vice Principal gestured for Chen Li to follow.

He then led him away from the Tri-Use Conference Hall, all the way to the principal’s office door.

"Go in, the principal is waiting for you inside, I still need to help you clean up the mess."

The Vice Principal, with a robust build, didn’t at all look like someone in their fifties or sixties, walking with a commanding stride.

Just standing beside him, one could feel a sense of intimidation.

Chen Li gave a sheepish smile: "Principal Guan, isn’t Counselor Liang already comforting Lv Bai?"

"Far from enough. For a genius of Lv Bai’s caliber, we need to show the school’s sincerity. The principal will likely take you to apologize to Lv as well, so you better prepare yourself."

Vice Principal Guan glanced at Chen Li, his tone turning severe: "Alright, hurry up inside, don’t keep the principal waiting."

...

A slight rewind in time.

Lv Bai walked out of the Tri-Use Conference Hall alone.

Since the information input inside wasn’t finished yet, only a few students who completed their entries could be seen outside the hall.

He didn’t wait by the entrance but quietly blended into the crowd.

As he crossed the broad street, he saw a large crowd gathered at the school gate, including anxious parents waiting for their children and several media outlets drawn by the event.

Of course, none of this concerned Lv Bai.

His gaze scanned the crowd, eventually settling on a pair of siblings, then he stepped forward to meet them.
