Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 852 - 401: Devil’s Soul

Rong Xianning’s fans were eagerly waiting for the results to come out, and one could say they were more nervous and excited than Rong Xianning himself.

If the results were good, everyone would celebrate; if they were bad, it would lead to overwhelming ridicule, so the fans had to be prepared for both outcomes.

At ten o’clock, Rong Xianning’s high school first announced the good news, congratulating their student Rong Xianning for securing first place in Jingzhou City’s high school entrance exam with a score of 738.

Then the whole internet exploded.

First place in Jingzhou City’s exam, what does that mean?

As everyone knows, the high school entrance exam is not a unified national test; each province and city sets its own, but Jingzhou gathers the country’s best students and teachers, making the competition even fiercer, and first place in Jingzhou City is incredibly prestigious.

Digging into Rong Xianning’s schedule over the past year reveals he only had less than two months to fully revise, and before that, he hadn’t attended school for nearly half a year, being involved in a youth idol program instead.

At that time, there were voices saying that Rong Xianning’s neglect of school for a talent show would lead the youth astray and have a very bad influence, suggesting a ban on him.

And then he quietly became the top scorer in the entrance exam.

Looking back at the youth idol program, Feng Cheng had mentioned Rong Xianning studied late into the night, and in a fleeting camera shot, there was Rong Xianning studying hard in the early morning, which was once misunderstood as a publicity stunt. Now the truth is clear.

It turns out that there are truly talented geniuses in the world filled with both innate ability and diligence. Eyes are opened.

Rong Xianning’s name became an overnight sensation online.

People in Hua Country have a sentiment for top scorers, combined with most people’s admiration for strength, such an exceptional idol is truly a model of the times and worth emulating by the nation’s youth. With official promotion, Rong Xianning successfully achieved national recognition; from young children to the elderly, everyone knows about this diligent and hardworking exceptional idol.

Fans are moved to tears, proud of him.

Haters gritted their teeth in jealousy, saying it’s fake, it must be fake.

The internet buzzed with controversy over Rong Xianning’s achievements, while he remained hidden at the center of the storm.

Shen You’an was quite shocked inside; she knew Rong Xianning was smart and expected he’d perform well, but didn’t foresee him becoming the top scorer.

The distinction of top scorer in Jingzhou City’s high school entrance exam holds immense weight, given that this capital city is a place full of hidden talents.

Plus, since participating in a talent show last year, being distracted and occupied, achieving top scorer under such circumstances is beyond what can be described by genius.

Shen You’an has been labeled a genius, but she knows deep down it’s because of the system supporting her that she reached this level.

But Rong Xianning doesn’t have a system, right?

Shen You’an thought back to her past life, never hearing any news about Rong Xianning having excellent grades, implying that his life’s trajectory has already changed invisibly in this life.

Was it because of her?

Shen You’an fell into contemplation, uncertain whether this change was good or bad.

Shen You’an completed the filming of Double Shadows on schedule. On the last day, she received flowers from the entire crew, took a group photo, and attended a dinner gathering that evening.

"Sorry everyone, I have to catch a flight tonight, can’t join you. Tonight, it’s my treat, enjoy and have fun."

Though everyone felt a bit regretful, they understood.

She left the set and hurried to school.

The sixth online challenge match took place over half a month ago, and Shen You’an’s ranking steadily climbed from seventh place to third place.

Liu Runxi was in fifth, Leng Yunyang thirty-eighth, Jiang Yumo twenty-seventh.

Gu Bichen still couldn’t make it into the top hundred.

Mid-July marks the finals in Siland, with only the top hundred qualifying.

For this final, Xie Feng conducted a seven-day intensive training for the four of them.

Shen You’an was already four days late. Though Xie Feng was dissatisfied, he didn’t say much.

Arriving in the last three days, Shen You’an fully immersed herself in the upcoming training.

Three days later, on July 13th, led by Xie Feng, the four of them went to Siland.

Taking off from Jingzhou International Airport, it takes twelve hours to reach Siland directly, departing at dawn, with an eight-hour time difference between Siland and Jingzhou, they arrived at eight in the morning in Siland.

Jiang Yumo took a deep breath, "This is Siland, huh? So beautiful."

The fresh sea breeze brushed past, blue skies and white clouds, freedom lingering.

Shen You’an lowered her eyes; she’d been here too often to feel anything.

Xie Feng arranged for a car to take them to the hotel.

The hotel is a quality-assured five-star hotel in Siland; food and lodging are all self-paid. None of them lacked money, so naturally, the more comfortable, the better, with each staying in separate rooms to rest and recharge, ensuring stable performance in the finals.

"You all rest in your rooms first, at three in the afternoon we’ll meet in the hotel lobby. I’ll take you to tour Saint Harun University, and on the way, you’ll meet my senior to get some advice."

Shen You’an heard Xie Feng mention before that his senior, Daniel, is a top mathematics genius, now teaching at Saint Harun University and serving as honorary vice president of the global mathematics alliance.

Having the opportunity to receive his guidance is incredibly rare.

Even rarer, the father of Hart Bay, the top scorer in the challenge match, is very close to Daniel; as the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy leads to victory in every battle. Xie Feng had long calculated his moves.

Shen You’an and the others returned separately to their rooms; after a twelve-hour flight, even a body made of iron couldn’t withstand it, so she planned to take a shower first.

Her phone, placed on the table, rang at that moment. Shen You’an picked it up and glanced at it.

Connecting and placing it to her ear.

"Boss, there’s movement. They’re planning to partner with White Gloves, looking to strike in Siland."

Shen You’an walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sweeping a glance at the main street below, several men disguised as pedestrians either squatting or standing by the roadside, some smoking, some reading newspapers, pretending quite well but with eyes pretending to casually glance at the upper floors, revealing their identities.

Shen You’an curled her lips: "Finally couldn’t hold back."

It’s been months; if they still didn’t strike, Shen You’an would really think they were cowards.

Choosing to strike in Siland is somewhat clever; it’s a place far from authority. If Shen You’an were truly a girl with no background, she’d disappear without a trace in this world.

Too bad, their plan missed its mark.

Siland is her territory.

And White Gloves is her Black Glove.

"Anything else?"

"Yu Ruohuan came with them, along with a Taoist. I’ve already checked his background; he’s a charlatan with some pretense but not much actual skill."

Shen You’an had already guessed what Yu Ruohuan wanted to do; sure enough, a mouse born of a mouse knows how to dig holes, just like her great-grandmother, addicted to reaping without sowing.

Shen You’an slowly curved her lips, her dark eyes piercingly bright.

If Wang Qi saw this moment, he’d be incredibly surprised; Shen You’an and the White Gloves she portrayed were practically identical.

Angel’s face, devil’s soul.
