Chapter 123: What a Headache
In the kitchen, Jiang Tian was holding his chin, thinking about how to cook the ingredients in front of him.
He had to develop new dishes and enrich his skills.
It was at this time that Huang Xing's screaming voice was heard from outside.
Jiang Tian retracted his gaze and looked at Huang Xing, who came in: "What big thing happened again?"
"Did something go wrong with your school registration?"
They had all agreed to get admitted to Hongwu University in Xingcheng together.
Originally, Huang Xing and Guo Qihang might have had a hard time, but this time, they were able to meet the requirements for the martial arts college entrance examination.
It wasn't just the Huotang world that changed the state of the war because of Jiang Tian.
The exotic delicacies provided by Jiang Tian also helped them increase their strength and achieve excellent results.
"Registration is no problem. We've already succeeded," Huang Xing explained to Jiang Tian.
With his and Guo Qihang's grades, there would be no problem enrolling in Xingcheng Hongwu University.
Next, after the registration period ends and the dynamic review is completed, the final result can be determined.
Only those like Jiang Tian and Xue Ruyan, who were actively invited by the Budo University, could consider it a success by simply accepting the invitation.
Guo Qihang, who followed him into the room, also nodded: "This time, both our ranking and grades are far beyond the standard."
"Although the estimate is at the lower-middle level, it should be fine."
After listening to the two people's words, Jiang Tian shook his head gently: "If this is the case, what big thing can happen?"
Xue Ruyan came back and looked at Huang Xing: "Don't make such a fuss. Just talk about it."
Huang Xing quickly took out his cell phone and placed it on the table.
Compared to Jiang Tian's youth-style mobile phone, Huang Xing's phone had more complete functions.
After shaking it gently, he placed the body flat on the table in front of him, and the projection screen floated up.
After Huang Xing's adjustment, the content changed, showing the hot search results.
[The Lost Generation relied on good luck to win first place in the country. Does this mean that the students of this class are very weak?]
[The drawbacks of the reform of the martial arts college entrance examination: luck first, strength second?]
[No.1 in the country—what honor do you have? Are you worthy?]
Moreover, as Huang Xing clicked on the content, he saw sharp comments directed at Jiang Tian.
The content was all the same—first criticizing the martial arts college entrance examination reform, then using Jiang Tian as an example to argue against it.
Judging from the content alone, the remarks were extremely unfair to Jiang Tian.
It felt as if the failure of the martial arts college entrance examination reform was due to the existence of people like Jiang Tian.
As a result, some of the comments were downright disgusting.
"I originally thought the reform of the martial arts college entrance examination was a good thing, but I didn't expect it to be so irritating."
"I agree. Doesn't this mean that as long as you're lucky, you can go to the top martial arts university? Isn't this unfair to others?"
"Is it too late to drop out of school and take the martial arts exam again and try my luck? Laugh!"
The vast majority of comments were sarcastic, claiming that Jiang Tian was just a lucky guy.
Although there was also a mention of Xue Ruyan, most people only remembered who ranked first.
And in criticism, it was the same.
However, as Huang Xing scrolled through the pages, he saw some comments speaking in Jiang Tian's defense.
"You know nothing. We were fighting against alien races head-on in this martial arts exam. We did not fail!"
"Jiang Tian is very capable. Please don't judge him without knowing the truth."
"If being lucky means achieving such a great feat on the battlefield, do you think you could do it?"
However, the number of supportive comments was still too small. They were just a drop in the bucket and could not counteract the overwhelming negativity.
Instead, those who defended Jiang Tian were labeled as "paid commenters."
"As expected of the No.1 in the country, there's already an army cleaning up his reputation so quickly."
"I suggest checking the background of this person called Jiang Tian. I bet he's not a simple guy."
"The human race is in a terrible situation right now. Instead of thinking about fighting against alien races, we're actually doing this kind of thing. The human race is doomed..."
It was just a mess of remarks, a mixture of good and bad, and even disgusting to look at.
"What nonsense!" Xue Ruyan's voice was obviously higher and filled with anger.
However, when looking at Jiang Tian, she found that his expression was very calm, and he did not seem to be irritated by these remarks.
"Old Jiang, why are you so calm?" Huang Xing, standing nearby, sounded a little anxious when he saw Jiang Tian's expression.
Jiang Tian looked at Huang Xing strangely: "Why shouldn't I be calm? And is this the 'big deal' you were talking about?"
"Don't you know that public opinion is a knife that can kill people?" Huang Xing was very flustered and said to Jiang Tian, "This will affect your admission."
"What if Xingcheng Hongwu University really refuses to admit you because of these public opinions in order to avoid unnecessary trouble?"
"If that happens, it would be miserable."
Jiang Tian shook his head, telling Huang Xing not to let his imagination run wild: "No, I will definitely be admitted to Xingcheng Hongwu University."
Huang Xing saw Jiang Tian's confidence and said with a serious expression: "Don't be so absolute. If the situation gets worse, it will be bad."
"The president of Xingcheng Hongwu University has privately accepted me as a disciple," Jiang Tian said, looking at Huang Xing. "In addition, I accepted the invitation and successfully enrolled directly."
"It shouldn't be long before you receive news that your student registration has been successfully completed."
Jiang Tian's words made Huang Xing open his mouth, wanting to say something, but he had nothing to say.
The principal had personally taken Jiang Tian as a disciple. What else was there to say?
Wasn't this a done deal?
It's impossible that they would refuse to admit their own disciple just because of public opinion, right?
"However, now that the internet is making a big fuss, you've become famous," Huang Xing added. "I'm afraid you'll have a lot of trouble after you enroll."
"Perhaps, during some tests and assessments, other students will gang up on us."
"There are also people who think your No. 1 ranking is just luck, and they'll want to challenge you and step on you to become famous."
"Isn't this a big deal for you?"
Huang Xing's concern was not unreasonable.
However, Jiang Tian shook his head: "It doesn't matter. They can't beat me anyway. What's the big deal?"
What Jiang Tian said was simple. Among the students of the same grade and generation, who could be his opponent?
However, what Huang Xing was talking about was indeed something to consider.
If someone really caused trouble, and Jiang Tian wasn't careful, he might end up killing them.
What a headache!
