FreeGoodNovelChapter 168 Chapter 168: This year, the exam had taken an unexpected turn with the announcement of a new rule: auditing students and external candidates were now allowed to participate.
The exam stood as the most prestigious academic competition in the nation. Achieving a top-two ranking would guarantee honor student status at Zhecrora University, bringing national recognition. Additionally, leading research institutes would eagerly offer collaborative projects, and top companies across all fields would vie to recruit them, significantly boosting their career opportunities.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust three years ago, a financially struggling student who placed ninth-not even in the top three-managed to draw widespread attention, tically elevating their status. Now, that student boasted aworth in the tens of billions.
Shortly after this topic surged to the top of trending lists, another intriguing headline emerged just below it: "Academic Prodigy Khloe Evans Sets Her Sights on First Place in Zhecrora University Honor Exam." This daring proclamation quickly drew the attention of online users, sparking widespread discussion. An article from a media outlet confidently claimed to have spoken with Khloe, who reportedly declared that she intended to secure the top spot in the exam.
The majority of online users dismissed Khloe's ambitious claim, speculating that she might withdraw from the exam at the eleventh hour. However, a few recalled her outstanding high-IQ performance on a popular variety show, along with whispers about her heart transplant surgery circulating within Zhecrora University. This left them skeptical but curious.
A prominent student blogger from Zhecrora University quickly declared his intention to join the exam and promised live updates for his followers, primarily to confirm whether Khloe would actually show up.
Meanwhile, Sloane kept a close eye on the heated online discussions about whether Khloe would show up for the exam. When photos of Khloe arriving at the hospital landed in her inbox, a triumphant smile spread across her face. She was confident she had already secured this round.
With that thought, she gracefully stepped out of the car, her smile growing even sweeter as she linked arms with Eric at the entrance of the medical school.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Eric, did you hear? Khloe's saying she'll show up for the exam today and claims she'll take the top spot." Eric had seen the news about Khloe, and it left him deeply annoyed. As far as he was concerned, the top spot in the exam belonged to him, and he couldn't allow Khloe to snatch it away. Still, he wasn't blind to her abilities, and the thought that she might actually succeed wasn't beyond belief.
With a scowl, Eric sneered. "An entertainment industry star taking the Zhecrora University Honor Exam? She's clearly doing it for the spotlight." "The audacity! Isn't his fiancée also in showbiz? Why is it fine for Sloane to join, but not Khloe? Eric's such a hypocrite!" retorted a girl in the crowd as soon as Eric finished speaking. Early that morning, the medical school entrance at Zhecrora University was packed both inside and outside, buzzing with activity for the honor exam. Caught off guard, Eric and Sloane glanced around, but the girl had already melted into the crowd, leaving them without a clue about who had spoken.
As Eric and Sloane lingered in the crowd, they noticed students casting them odd glances. Most kept their distance, their eyes laced with contempt and disgust.
"I can't believe that shameless pair has the nerve to show up for the exam. People like them don't belong here."
"Eric has the gall to back his home-wrecking girlfriend. Meanwhile, Khloe's out her while, s out here doing heart transplants. What does he even see in Sloane?"
"It's probably her scheming ways. She's always cozying up to guys in extracurricular clubs, barely om contributes to group projects, yet somehow gets top grades. And she has the nerve to call herself a star student. I've had enough of her."
From a short distance away, hushed whispers reached their ears. The persistent gossip only fueled their growing anger, making it harder for either of them to maintain their composure. Ever since the previous bullying scandal, where Khloe had managed to outmaneuver her tormentors, Zhecrora University students-particularly those in the medical school-had been under scrutiny. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
