Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1136 True Proof (12)
Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136 True Proof (12)
```
Time flies, and before we know it, mid-June arrives.
The final exam at Yi City No. 5 Middle School has been set for June 19 to 21, and it is citywide standardized testing.
For this exam, the school attaches great importance, extending the evening self-study and dormitory lights-out time.
The learning atmosphere on campus has become particularly intense during this period, which, of course, includes Class 1 of Grade 10. Even the students who usually don’t take studying seriously dare not cause trouble, for fear of becoming a target for discipline.
And as an invisible presence in the class, Wang Chen is already prepared.
A month’s time is enough for him to master all the subjects and there is no doubt about scoring highly! frёewebnoѵēl.com
The day of the exam arrives quickly.
As it is a citywide standardized test, the location is in different classrooms, and all proctors are teachers from other schools, plus there are surveillance cameras arranged in the exam halls; the strictness is comparable to the middle school entrance exam.
One subject in the morning, two in the afternoon; nine subjects in total, spread over three days of exams.
Wang Chen, along with over a thousand other first-year students from No. 5 Middle School, has completed yet another challenge in their academic lives.
The three days fly by.
When the last biology exam finishes on the afternoon of the 21st, the students coming out of the exam hall burst into cheers.
What follows is the long-awaited summer vacation!
Xiao Xudong, dragging Wang Chen, asks with a chuckle: "Brother Chen, are you planning to go home for the summer vacation?"
While the other students are discussing the answers or asking each other about their scores, he and Wang Chen, both being poor students, naturally don’t bring up these questions to avoid mutual embarrassment.
"Yeah."
Wang Chen nods: "I’ll go back once I receive the report card."
For Wang Chen, the greatest significance of this rebirth is not just to make up for regrets in his past life, but more importantly, to see his family again.
Father, mother, younger brother, and younger sister!
Throughout this time, Wang Chen has kept his longing for his family bottled up inside, not going home right away to visit them, mainly because he wants to use a laudable report card as a gift for going home.
He believes that his parents will be very happy to see this gift!
Xiao Xudong hesitates for a moment before asking: "Brother Chen, how did you do on this exam?"
He observes carefully and treads lightly.
Xiao Xudong has been considering, if Wang Chen needs it, he could figure out a way to help modify the report card.
Wang Chen strokes his chin and smiles: "Not bad, I guess."
He has estimated the scores; with a total of 1050 points for the nine subjects, he should be able to score around 1000 points.
If Wang Chen were to claim this score himself, he would definitely be ridiculed to death by his classmates—even the top students in the four experimental classes wouldn’t dare to say they could score so high.
The ones who can confidently expect to score over 1000 points are the academic aces in the key classes from No. 1 High School, No. 2 High School, and Elite High School.
Because the difficulty of the citywide standardized test is quite high, and the question-setting procedures are extremely strict, there are not many loopholes to exploit.
"That’s good."
Seeing Wang Chen’s relaxed expression, Xiao Xudong also lets go of his worries.
For students like them, who don’t do well academically, every exam is an ordeal, unless they give up completely; otherwise, there is definitely a lot of pressure to bear inwardly.
This pressure comes not only from teachers and parents but also from classmates, and even from themselves!
After the end of the final exams, the atmosphere on campus becomes relaxed and cheerful all of a sudden. Although everyone is still attending classes, they are mainly focused on self-study now.
Many students start exchanging yearbooks, leaving messages for each other or taking photos together, and some discuss plans for where to go during the summer vacation.
There are also plans for organizing a class gathering.
After all, once the final exam results of the first year of high school are out, everyone will be undergoing class reassignments.
After the summer vacation, many students will go to different new classes.

Wang Chen did not participate in any of this.
Firstly, he wasn’t very popular in the class, barely having a few classmates to talk to besides Xiao Xudong.
Secondly, these matters seemed incredibly childish to Wang Chen.
Most importantly, there were probably at most one or two students who would still be in the same class as Wang Chen next semester!
In the first year of Elite High School, there were a total of 25 classes, divided into 4 experimental classes, 1 overseas class, and 20 regular classes. Wang Chen’s Class 15 had average grades that were in the lower middle among the regular classes; hardly any of them would make it into the experimental classes in the second year.
In the school, grades are the most realistic measure.
In the following days, the grading process for this city-wide unified exam was carried out intensively.
To ensure fairness, the school implemented a cross-marking system for major examinations, where teachers from the school did not participate in grading their own students’ papers, so it took a bit longer.
The students’ scores for various subjects were gradually compiled and summarized.
"Huh?"
In the office of the first-year teachers, Zhang Yan held a test paper with a look of surprise and doubt.
"What’s the matter?"
A teacher next to him leaned over for a look and his eyes lit up immediately: "A perfect score in mathematics? Teacher Zhang, the student in your class is amazing!"
Hearing about someone scoring a perfect mark in mathematics, other teachers in the office crowded around to see the excitement.
The mathematics exam this term was very difficult, with several questions involving content from the second year. Many first-year students from Elite High School cried after the exam, complaining about the high difficulty.
So who was the valiant hero?
Logically speaking, Zhang Yan, being the math teacher and head teacher of the class, should have been very happy or even excited about a student scoring a perfect mark, but to everyone’s surprise, his expression was quite odd.
"Wang Chen?"
Someone recognized the student’s name and couldn’t help but inquire: "Is this a student from Class 15?"
"Yes."
The politics teacher sitting across from Zhang Yan pushed his black-framed glasses and said, "There is a student named Wang Chen in Class 15, seated at the very last row by the door."
Everyone’s expressions turned strange, just like Zhang Yan’s!
Everyone knew that position was the territory of the underachievers; no wonder Zhang Yan had such an expression.
"Impossible!"
Zhang Yan suddenly slammed the desk: "Wang Chen’s grades have always been very poor, and his best score in mathematics was just seventy or eighty points, never even reaching the passing line. How could he possibly score a perfect mark?"
As the head teacher of Class 15 in the first year, Zhang Yan had the worst impression of Wang Chen, even to the point of loathing.
He simply didn’t believe that this achievement was earned by Wang Chen!
Cheating?
Everyone was startled and looked at each other apprehensively.
The problem is that cheating requires the capability and means; it’s impossible to score a perfect mark in mathematics by copying someone else.
Unless Wang Chen had access to all the exam questions before the exam!
But that was even more unbelievable, and if it were true, quite a few people would have to move seats, or even face legal issues!
Of course, there is another possibility, that Wang Chen did not perform to his full capabilities before, and only had an explosive breakthrough at the very end.
Such cases have also occurred before.
What other teachers found interesting was what the results of Wang Chen’s other subjects would be?
