Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8 - Chapter 51: An Uproar
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: An Uproar
This was an S-Level score on a *first* reincarnation!
Even at the elite schools, where students enjoyed all kinds of ’cheats’ and ’privileges,’ a score like this would still belong to a top prodigy—someone who could be crowned a ’super genius’!
And now, a genius of this caliber had appeared in a public school like theirs, one without any special treatment. How could the students present not be completely beside themselves with excitement?
Under everyone’s unblinking gaze, the golden pillar of light slowly contracted, and the figure within it gradually became clearer.
A few breaths later, the golden light completely dissipated.
Li Chang’an strode out from within, glancing around. Seeing a large group of proctors staring at him with intense eyes, he couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “What is it? Is there something on me?”
As he spoke, he even looked down and straightened his clothes.
The proctors all wore strange expressions. After a long moment of silence, a fair-skinned, slightly chubby teacher stepped out from the group, walked directly up to Li Chang’an, and asked, “Um… Li Chang’an, your reincarnation score was… S-Level?”
Hearing the chubby teacher’s question.
Li Chang’an paused for a moment before it dawned on him. He had gotten an S-Level score on his first reincarnation; no wonder this group of proctors was looking at him so strangely.
He had no intention of hiding it, not that he could anyway.
The saying ’the tree that stands out in the forest is the first to be toppled by the wind’ was indeed a rule to live by, but this was clearly not the time to hide his talents.
Therefore, he answered frankly, “Yes, sir. Is there a problem?”
Upon receiving Li Chang’an’s confirmation.
The chubby proctor’s face lit up with excitement. He laughed heartily and said, “An S-Level evaluation on your first reincarnation! Good, very good! An outstanding young man! It seems our Rebirth Association, and indeed the entire Human Federation, will be gaining another valiant warrior!”
In this world, Reincarnators held a very high status.
And this high status was, of course, not without reason.
First, under the threat of the Demon Beast Tides, the Human Alliance needed exceptional individuals to defend its cities and ensure the continued survival of the species.
Reincarnators could cultivate Extraordinary Power in other worlds at a terrifyingly fast pace, naturally making them the core strength on the front lines against the Demon Beast Tides.
Second, most of the current world’s Extraordinary Evolution Paths had been learned and deciphered by Reincarnators from one Rebirth World after another.
By now, many low-threshold Evolution Paths had become widespread within the Human Alliance, even allowing a small number of exceptionally talented ordinary people to step into the realm of the Extraordinary.
With these two factors as a foundation, one could imagine just how incredible the status of a Reincarnator was. It was no exaggeration to say they possessed a ’get-out-of-death-free’ card.
As long as they didn’t make a mistake that crossed the line, there were basically no restraints on them.
Of course, while a Reincarnator’s status was indeed high, that was relative to ordinary people. If one truly offended a more powerful Reincarnator, they could easily end up dead without even knowing how it happened.
For instance, not long ago, Li Chang’an had heard of a Reincarnator who had grown arrogant after spending too long in a Rebirth World and failed to restrain himself upon returning to the real world.
In the end, that Reincarnator vanished from his territory without a trace.
To this day, it remains an unsolved case.
…
After praising Li Chang’an for a bit, the chubby proctor, completely ignoring the gazes of others, pulled a gold-plated business card from his pocket and said, “My name is Cao Shuran, Vice Chairman of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association. This is my card. If you have any questions about reincarnation in the future, you can call me directly!”
Hearing that this rather unassuming, chubby middle-aged man was actually the Vice Chairman of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association.
Li Chang’an immediately perked up. He took the business card and said politely, “Of course. If I have any questions in the future, I’ll be sure to call you!”
In the Rebirth World, Li Chang’an could do as he pleased, look down on everyone, and even actively court death if he got tired of living.
But in the real world, Li Chang’an was always low-key and cautious, understanding the wisdom in the saying, “another friend is another path.”
As the Vice Chairman of the Rebirth Association, Cao Shuran was naturally a veteran Reincarnator himself. With him taking the initiative to offer his card, Li Chang’an would of course not refuse.
Seeing that Li Chang’an was humble, polite, and tactful—not at all arrogant just because he had become a Reincarnator—Cao Shuran was even more satisfied. He said immediately, “You have a great mindset, young man. Truly someone destined for great things. How about this: I’ll take you to the Rebirth Association to register first, and then we can discuss your compensation package!”
Li Chang’an nodded. “Then thank you, Teacher Cao!”
Seeing this, the few proctors behind them all looked at Li Chang’an with undisguised envy.
’As expected, students with good reincarnation scores really do get different treatment!’
’Chairman Cao offered his business card the moment he walked out of the exam hall. Under normal circumstances, that’s something you wouldn’t even dare to dream of.’
…
When the thousands of students on the field saw Li Chang’an slowly walking out of the Reincarnation Hall, personally escorted by Cao Shuran, the entire crowd went wild!
Countless pairs of eyes, filled with curiosity, confusion, envy, and jealousy, landed on Li Chang’an, as if they were looking at a glittering mountain of gold!
If the reincarnation assessment had rankings, Li Chang’an might even have taken the top spot in the region this year.
In the past, this was a result that students from Linjiang First High School wouldn’t have even dared to imagine!
Yet now, the top honor had been seized by the young man before their eyes.
It was truly mind-boggling!
However, Li Chang’an remained completely unfazed by it all.
After all, he had lived for ten years in the Rebirth World. Although his memories were compressed and stored like files by the Rebirth Mark, the experience had still left a deep impression on him.
At the very least, he would no longer be flustered when facing a scene like this.
…
Following behind Cao Shuran, Li Chang’an walked out of the Reincarnation Hall and onto the field.
Li Chang’an’s gaze swept unhurriedly through the crowd.
Spotting Li Jianfei, the little fatty, and his homeroom teacher, Qin Yang, he walked straight over and asked, “Sir, how did Fatty do?”
Seeing Li Chang’an walking toward him from a distance, Qin Yang felt as if his breath had caught for a moment.
Without a doubt, a celestial phenomenon of that magnitude could only be triggered by a Reincarnator with an extremely high score returning to the Main World.
Now Li Chang’an was being personally escorted by the Vice Chairman of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association…
What did this mean?
It meant that Li Chang’an was very likely the S-Level Reincarnator who had just caused the proctors and so many students to cry out in shock!
An S-Level Reincarnator!
Qin Yang had never even dreamed that a student from his class could achieve such a good score.
Of course, this wasn’t because he looked down on his students; it was simply that this score… was just too unbelievable for the homeroom teacher of an ordinary class like him.
Before Li Chang’an had come out, he had just been praying for two or three more students from his class to become Reincarnators, just so he wouldn’t end up last in the school’s evaluation.
He had never imagined that hope would arrive so suddenly.
It wasn’t until Li Chang’an walked up and greeted him that Qin Yang finally snapped back to his senses. He took a deep breath and replied, “Jianfei’s luck wasn’t great. His reincarnation failed…”
At this point, his voice paused. Forcibly suppressing his wildly beating heart, he asked cautiously, “And you? What was your reincarnation score?”
Although he had already guessed the truth.
But before getting a definitive answer, he didn’t dare to show too much joy. After all, the wider his smile was now, the harder he would cry if his hopes were dashed.
