The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 91 - 89: Freak, an absolute freak!

The Principal’s Office.

Qin Fan casually took a seat in the large executive chair.

Looking at Tao Yuan, who seemed a bit restrained, he couldn’t help but smile. "Old Tao, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Lord Qin!"

He no longer addressed him as Mr. Qin. Tao Yuan’s use of "Lord Qin" made his new stance clear.

Ever since hearing the news about Yanjing Ridge from Ma Yunbin a few days ago, Tao Yuan had been in a daze. No matter how he mulled it over, he couldn’t fathom how this teenager could possess the ability to slay a dragon. Combined with what Ma Yunbin had said about the Talisman Water, Tao Yuan’s disbelief turned into awe; he now viewed Qin Fan as a Heavenly Person.

If he hadn’t known that Ma Yunbin wasn’t the type to boast, Tao Yuan would never have believed it. The story was simply too fantastic. However, Ma Yunbin’s vivid account, along with the piece of serpent tendon, forced him to accept the truth. From that moment on, he knew that Qin Fan, with his incredible Divine Skills, was no longer a simple "Mr." In his heart, Qin Fan had ascended to the status of a "Lord."

At last, he somewhat understood why Ye Jizu and his son treated Qin Fan with such reverence. Qin Fan’s martial prowess was undoubtedly the biggest factor. He was not an ignorant man; he knew of the Martial Arts World’s existence. But for someone like Ye Jizu, who could command Dark Energy masters as bodyguards, to show such deference—what level of power must this dragon-slaying Qin Fan possess?

Dark Energy Peak? A Transformation Realm Grandmaster who has surpassed the Dark Energy Peak?

As the words "Transformation Realm Grandmaster" flashed through his mind, he was startled by the thought.

Meeting Qin Fan’s relaxed and sage-like gaze, which was utterly unlike that of a teenager, Tao Yuan’s breathing grew ragged. "Lord Qin, did you leave last time to go slay a dragon?"

"Ma Yunbin told you everything?" Qin Fan asked with a slight smile, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. Of all his older relatives, Yunbin is closest to me, his uncle. But please don’t get the wrong idea, Lord Qin. The boy is tight-lipped. I guarantee he won’t tell anyone but me," Tao Yuan explained hastily.

Qin Fan raised a hand dismissively. "No need to be so tense. I was just asking."

"Yes, yes, Lord Qin!" Tao Yuan gave an awkward smile, breathing a sigh of relief. He continued, "By the way, Lord Qin, did you know? News of you slaying the dragon at Yanjing Ridge has already spread, stirring up the entire world of Fortune Tellers and Magicians. Countless people are speculating, trying to figure out which divine being the Dragon Slayer could be, but no one knows it’s you. No one would even imagine it was you!"

As he said this, another wave of shock washed over Tao Yuan’s heart.

Who would have ever guessed that the mysterious Dragon Slayer, revered by countless masters in the Lingnan world of Fortune Tellers and Magicians, was just a teenager? The outcast son exiled by the Qin family? The so-called coward despised by so many?

"Old Tao, you didn’t call me here just to tell me all this, did you?" Qin Fan asked, shaking his head with a placid smile. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Lord Qin, well, haha... Lord Qin, you might laugh at this, but I’m mainly trying to take advantage of my favorable position to build a closer relationship with you!" Tao Yuan said fawningly, without any pretense.

Qin Fan was slightly taken aback by Tao Yuan’s bluntness. Then he asked playfully, "Is that really necessary?"

"It is! Absolutely!" Tao Yuan replied instantly, without a moment’s hesitation.

In a place like Lingnan, even the Ye Family, regional overlords, were eager to grovel. How could Tao Yuan, a man exiled by his family to be a high school principal in Jiangzhou, think it wasn’t necessary? Forget his current exiled state; even if he were still back in Beijing, he would be desperate to curry favor with someone of Qin Fan’s mysterious power and strength, let alone now.

While Tao Yuan, with his fawning expression, was completely devoid of his usual imposing aura, something else was happening.

「In the teachers’ lounge in the academic building.」

Over a dozen teachers stared, their eyes wide with utter disbelief. The lounge was so silent you could hear a pin drop in the stunned atmosphere.

"Mr. Li, are you saying Qin Fan finished all these exam papers in two hours?" a middle-aged teacher stammered, his eyes bulging.

"Yes! I watched him do it!" the homeroom teacher of Class 7 affirmed, nodding repeatedly as he swallowed hard.

"That’s... that’s impossible!" exclaimed another teacher.

"He’s a monster! This is monstrous! Even if you were copying from an answer key, you couldn’t be this perfect! We’ve all seen Qin Fan’s grades. How is this even possible!" another voice rose in disbelief.

"I suspect he cheated! Look, he answered every other question perfectly, without a single possible point deduction, but he got more than half the multiple-choice questions wrong! If he really did the other sections based on his own ability, would it even be possible to miss these multiple-choice questions?" another teacher proposed.

At this, all the teachers frowned. They had almost forgotten about the multiple-choice section. But could cheating achieve such a result? Many of the exam questions didn’t have a single, definitive answer; even they wouldn’t dare claim they could score perfectly. But if it wasn’t cheating, how could the multiple-choice answers be explained?

Just as the teachers were frowning in deep thought, there was a sudden sound.

CLANG!

One of the teachers still examining the multiple-choice sheet had staggered back, kicking over a nearby trash can.

"Mr. Zou, what is it?" everyone asked in unison, completely bewildered.

"A freak! He’s an absolute freak! Qin Fan... Qin Fan’s multiple-choice answers aren’t mostly wrong! He... he... he—" The teacher’s words caught in his throat, and he began to gasp for breath.

"Not mostly wrong? Did we grade them incorrectly? Is that possible?" the teacher who had first suspected cheating asked.

"He... he got them wrong on purpose! On the multiple-choice answer sheet, if you invert his answers, they’re all correct! Every single one! It was deliberate! He must have done it on purpose! He didn’t want to get a perfect score! What a freak! An absolute freak!"

"What?" All the teachers cried out in astonishment. "Wrong on purpose? If inverted, all the answers were correct?"

A dead silence hung in the air for several seconds after the outburst. The next moment, all the teachers scrambled toward the multiple-choice answer sheet.

「Ten minutes later.」

The lounge was once again completely silent. None of the teachers could find the words to describe the feeling in their hearts.

This was heaven-defying! It was truly heaven-defying!

「Back in the principal’s office.」

Qin Fan had no idea the exam papers he turned in had provoked such a dramatic reaction from his teachers. Tao Yuan’s fawning, which was so enthusiastic it bordered on shameless, was beginning to make even him feel awkward.

He gave a dry cough. Standing up from the executive chair, he said, "Ahem, Old Tao, that’s enough. I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving."

With that, he started walking toward the door.

"Lord Qin, I’ll see you out! Let me see you out!" Tao Yuan said sheepishly, committed to the act.

One was the principal of Qi Middle School, a man in his forties. The other was a student from Qi Middle School, sixteen or seventeen years old. The dissonance of the scene was truly striking.

Qin Fan simply quirked his lips, saying nothing more.

But just then, the phone in his pocket began to ring. He frowned, stopped, and pulled it out to answer the call.

"Lord Qin, there’s trouble!"

Before Qin Fan could even speak, Ye Jizu’s panicked voice yelled from the other end of the line.
