School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Thump thump thump...

Xiao Han was still in a daze when suddenly there was a knocking sound from outside.

"Who is it?" Xiao Han yelled.

There was no response from outside; the urgent knocking persisted. With no choice but to get up, Xiao Han went to open the door. Li Hengzhong was standing outside with a beaming smile. He was taken aback to see Xiao Han wearing only underpants and asked, "You... why are you still sleeping?"

"Oh, I worked late last night." Xiao Han yawned and said, "Principal Li, what brings you here?"

"You rascal, don't you know today is the day high school exam results are released?" Li Hengzhong looked exasperated, almost grinding his teeth.

"What about the release day?" Xiao Han replied, "Did I mess up the exam or something?"

"No, no, no, you didn't mess up, you did very well!" Li Hengzhong said excitedly.

Xiao Han turned around and went to wash up instead.

Li Hengzhong looked frustrated following behind Xiao Han, and asked, "How can you be so nonchalant, lad? Aren't you curious about your grades?"

"I could probably guess!" Xiao Han responded while brushing his teeth.

"No, you absolutely can't guess!" Li Hengzhong boasted proudly, involuntarily puffing on his cigarette.

Xiao Han didn't ask, continuing to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Hey hey, show some respect for your teacher, will you?" Li Hengzhong anxiously said, "After all, I am your principal. Don't I deserve some respect?"

"Principal Li, waking people up early in the morning like this is not nice," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Bah, you scamp," Li Hengzhong cursed annoyedly: "It's like the emperor isn't in a hurry but the eunuch is. Let me tell you, your exam results are good, you've achieved a grand slam, and you've also won the national top spot in the science category. How about that, are you happy now?"

"No way?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it's true. The education department called me early this morning," Li Hengzhong said excitedly.

"Really?" Xiao Han asked again.

"Mhm!" Li Hengzhong nodded affirmatively.

"Well then, you better remember what you said, get my mom a job in the Sanitation Bureau, and later reimburse me for my four years of college tuition!" Xiao Han replied.

"You!" Li Hengzhong was taken aback, this kid wasn't excited at all, completely against his expectations. He was a bit puzzled.

Beep beep beep...

Suddenly, a series of urgent phone ring tones sounded.

Xiao Han turned his head to see his mobile phone vibrating. He hurriedly answered the call.

"Xiao Han, hello, I'm a counselor from BJ University's admissions office." A woman's voice said with a laugh: "Congratulations on scoring 750 points this time, and congratulations on becoming the national top scorer in science. On behalf of all the teachers and colleagues at BJ University, I extend our congratulations. I am calling you to offer you early admission.

In addition, after the decision of our school committee, if you agree to apply to our university, we will waive all tuition fees for four years of college and also award you a scholarship of five hundred thousand."

"Ah?" Xiao Han was stunned.

"How about it?" the woman asked with a smile.

"I... I'll consider it!" Xiao Han said, looking embarrassed.

"That's fine!" The woman nodded, "I'll call you back later, and once again, congratulations."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Han appeared helpless, while Li Hengzhong looked at him with a smile.

No sooner had he hung up the phone than another call came in.

"Xiao Han, hello, I'm a teacher from the Tsinghua University admissions office." A middle-aged man's voice came through: "Congratulations on your excellent results, and congratulations again on becoming the national top scorer. Are you considering applying to Tsinghua University?"

"I..." Xiao Han was taken aback.

"Our Tsinghua University is one of the most famous universities in the country," the man said confidently: "The university's staff committee has discussed, and if you apply to our school, we will waive all your tuition fees and also give you two hundred thousand as a bonus. What do you think?"

"I... I need to think it over!" Xiao Han hurriedly said.

"Okay, then I'll call you back," the man nodded: "I hope you'll seriously consider Tsinghua University."

After hanging up the phone, another call jumped in.

"May I speak with Xiao Han?" a young man's voice asked.

"I... I am!" Xiao Han nodded hurriedly.

"Hello, I am a recruitment advisor from Fudan University," the man said politely. "I'm very sorry for disturbing you. Once again, congratulations on achieving a perfect score in the college entrance exam and for becoming the national top scorer. On behalf of all the teachers and students at Fudan University, I would like to extend our congratulations.

I was wondering if you have any intention of applying to our Fudan University?"

"I will consider it seriously," Xiao Han replied without hesitation.

"That's great!" the man responded politely. "Xiao Han, if you are interested in applying to our Fudan University, we will waive your tuition fees for four years, and also offer you a scholarship of five hundred thousand yuan. In addition, you will be given priority consideration for admission to our postgraduate programs. So, please think it over carefully!"

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Han nodded eagerly.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Han let out a heavy sigh. Li Hengzhong, who was beside him, revealed a sly smile. "Tsk tsk, now you've become a national celebrity, and before long, you'll quickly become the focus of the entire nation's attention," he said.

"I don't hope for that," Xiao Han said awkwardly.

"That's not up to you!" Li Hengzhong chuckled, then added, "You must remember, some things are beyond our control. Anyway, the reason I came to see you today is to finalize something.

You once promised the students of the Hanmen Training Class that you would show them your true identity, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have you give a speech to the new batch of senior high school students. In your role as the 'mysterious instructor'."

"Ah, alright then!" Xiao Han suddenly regretted it; he regretted having once agreed to their request. But now, it was obviously too late for regrets. This time, Xiao Han wanted to make a definitive break. He planned to give a public lecture at First Middle School in LJ City, then disappear completely from the public eye.

Whether it was the aura of the highest score ever achieved in the college entrance exam, the honor of being the national champion, or the identity of the most mysterious instructor, Xiao Han would not care anymore.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to give an explanation to the school, to the students at Hanmen, to the people of LJ City, and to all the college entrance exam candidates nationwide.

......

The first day of the public release of college entrance exam scores.

The People's Daily published an article in the most prominent position on the front page: "Student from LJ City Scores Perfectly in the College Entrance Exam, A Beacon of Hope for China's Education."

As the official newspaper of China's ruling party and the leader in national media control, the People's Daily commands tremendously high attention and holds a firm position in the country. It is the newspaper that national leaders read every day, an indication of its prestige and credibility.

This article sparingly lavished praise on the current state of education in China, declaring it unmatched and unparalleled. Although it only mentioned First Middle School and Xiao Han's name once each, that was enough to draw the attention of major media throughout the nation.

The response speed of newspaper news was astonishing.

That afternoon, media and newspapers from all over the country rapidly spread the good news. Xiao Han, as the first student in China's history to score a perfect mark in the college entrance exams, naturally became the focus of national attention.

Especially with the extensive coverage by the People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, the Global Times, and several other well-known domestic media, Xiao Han's fame soared to the level of Liu Xiang's Olympic gold medal win.

The second day after the scores were released was the day for filling out university preference forms.

First Middle School in LJ City went completely crazy.

"What? Xiao Han got a perfect score in the college entrance exam?"

"No way? That's insane."

"It's in the People's Daily!"

At the school gate, many students were frantically passing on the news. Some, though dissatisfied with their own exam results, were electrified upon hearing of Xiao Han's perfect score, almost to the point of hysteria.

"Oh my god, so Xiao Han has been hiding his true strength all along?"

"Exactly, the previous first place in our grade, although also with good grades, was still more than twenty points away from a perfect score."

The name Xiao Han spread throughout First Middle School in LJ City in an instant. Hundreds of students who went to the school to fill out their preference forms gathered to talk excitedly. Some had never heard of Xiao Han before, but now his name had become the center of attention for all the students at the school.

"Yang Xiaoyan, do you know?" a girl grabbed Yang Xiaoyan, who had just entered the classroom, and said excitedly, "The national top scorer of the college entrance exam is in our class!"

"Really?" Yang Xiaoyan was shocked.

"Yes!" the girl nodded excitedly. "It's Xiao Han; he actually scored a grand slam, a perfect 750 points. It's terrifying."

"Uh…" Yang Xiaoyan was stunned, looking at the girl incredulously, she said, "You're... you're not kidding, right?"

"Not at all!" the girl shook her head. "I'm absolutely not lying to you."

"I have to tell Chen Zihan about this!" Yang Xiaoyan turned and reached for her phone, but then she realized that Chen Zihan had already gone abroad. She couldn't contact her on her old phone number. With a look of regret, Yang Xiaoyan said, "Zi Han, why didn't you leave a bit later? Perhaps then you could have received this good news."

The classroom was abuzz with students discussing animatedly.

Jiang Xiaoliang was fuming. Though his exam results were good, he was still a few points short of Tsinghua University's cutoff. However, he wasn't worried because he had a guaranteed spot. So, he didn't need to fret about being able to attend Tsinghua University.

He just resented that Xiao Han had managed to score a perfect mark and even clinched the title of national college entrance exam champion, which was incredibly unbelievable. Jiang Xiaoliang felt a surge of frustration well up inside him.
