Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The moment that Pu Lisi left, all of the teachers looked at Shen Yanxiao. There was no longer any contempt in their gazes. Instead, their eyes showed intense excitement.

They thought that Shangguan Xiao was already very talented. They never expected that the ability of that first-year student would surpa.s.s even Shangguan Xiao.

How old was the kid?

Shen Jue had to be about four to five years younger than Shangguan Xiao!

Since he could already concoct the most potent intermediate-level potion that was only a par beneath an advanced-level potion, did that mean he could break through to an Advanced Herbalist in another four to five years?

The teachers pushed Shangguan Xiao to the back of their minds. At that moment, they could only think about the super prodigy, Shen Yanxiao.

“The winner of this compet.i.tion is Shen Jue. A big congratulations to him on his victory. Shen Jue can go to the Saint Laurent Academy’s medicine storage room this afternoon and choose one set of medicinal ingredients.” The teachers made the announcement when they had managed to calm the excitement in their minds.

Shen Yanxiao’s victory had far exceeded everyone’s expectations. The students who had bet against Tang Nazhi were crestfallen as they tucked their tails and went elsewhere to wallow in the misery of their losses.

At that very moment, they realized how foolish they had been.

They had even made a shameless boast about how they would win Tang Nazhi’s money. Not only did they fail to do that, but they had also embarra.s.sed themselves entirely.

A first-year student had unexpectedly beaten a group of second and third-year students. If that news were to get out, it would be the single most embarra.s.sing thing that they would have ever done.

“Shen Jue won! Shen Jue had really won!” The first-year students, who stood at the corner, all jumped with excitement when they learned about Shen Yanxiao’s victory.

All of them cheered and raised their arms up high as they waved in excitement.

That moment was just too precious for the first-year students. They had always been the lowest tier of existence within the Herbalism Division. Most of the time, they would have to suffer mockery at the hands of their second and third-year seniors. However, Shen Yanxiao had managed to defeat more than a hundred of those elite students, all on her own. She even managed to beat the self-proclaimed top student in the Herbalist Division. Therefore, it was the most glorious moment for all of the first-year students.

How could they not be excited? How could they not be happy?

From that day onward, everyone would know about the super-skilled first-year herbalist in their midst, and no one would dare to underestimate them anymore.

“Well done, Shen Jue!”

“You are amazing, Shen Jue!”

The usually-quiet students burst into cheers at that very moment.

Shen Yanxiao was stunned when she heard the cheers and praises for her. She followed the voices and spotted Lin Xuan among the enthusiastic crowd.

Why was he there? Shen Yanxiao was somewhat surprised when she saw him. Her eyes swept across the students who cheered for her. She smiled when she realized that they were her fellow first-year students.

When did those groups of brats slip into the arena? Were they there to cheer for her all along?

Even though Shen Yanxiao was not very familiar with most of the first-year students, she was still very happy for their support.

Tang Nazhi sighed in relief as he stood amongst the crowd. When they announced that Shen Yanxiao was the victor in the compet.i.tion, his lips blossomed into a brilliant smile.

“You go, boy… ah, wait! You did good, girl! As expected, you didn’t disappoint me!” Tang Nazhi said with a smile.
