Li Xiuling was still a little dazed. She asked Li Yan, "Xiao Yan, how did you do in this magic test?"

"Not bad." Li Yan ranked 13th in the grade this time, which was her best result so far. However, she could not mention it openly in front of Li Li, the new top of the Chosen Ones list.

"Then you have to learn magic from your sister." Li Xiuling's eyes flashed with relief. She had never expected that her own daughter, whom she had neglected, would be so outstanding. She also had a daughter like Li Yan who was well-behaved and smart. It was just that Li Li's character needed to be corrected. She dared to talk to her in that tone in the conference room just now.

Li Xiuling gave Li Yan a few more instructions and then left the academy.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

“Why did the ranking change?”

The efficiency of the academy was amazing. Director Li personally engraved the re-evaluated magic scores on the magic crystal board and announced it to the public with great joy.

"Students, the previous results were wrong. Please take this as the standard."

The crowd suddenly became agitated and everyone gathered together again to check their scores.

"Uh, my total score didn't change, so why did my ranking drop by one place?"

"Me too! What happened?"

"Everyone, look here! Look here! What is this?" A boy exclaimed, pointing his trembling finger at the top of the list. An unfamiliar name was at the top of the list!

The scene was momentarily silent as death, and then, like a boiling spring, there was a commotion everywhere.

"Who is Li Li? How did she become number one?"

"Li Yan actually ranked second!"

“I’ve never seen his name not be at the top.”

"Isn't this the transfer student from the countryside in Class 14? Didn't they say she was from the countryside?"

"Is this a score that a human can achieve? It's almost perfect!"

All the students were shocked, and the news spread as fast as a bird. When Liu Yi heard the news, her original joy froze instantly. She rushed out to check in disbelief. On the bulletin board, she found that her ranking had actually dropped by one place, and the person who made her extremely disgusted was now standing proudly at the top, overlooking everyone!

How could this happen? Liu Yi clenched her fists, unable to accept this reality...

Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Li Yan stared at the magic notice board, his eyes like tempered magic stones, hiding unsolved thoughts. Inside Hongguang College, a young man sat by the window, his eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and his youthful profile was like a finely crafted work of art. For some reason, everyone in the college today looked at him quietly with subtle eyes.

"What are they doing?" Li Yan turned his head impatiently and asked his companion sitting next to him.

The companion sitting next to him looked back cautiously, "Li Yan, have you seen the newly issued magic levels?"

"I didn't see it, what's wrong?" He had his own thoughts in mind. The strength of his magic was almost the same as expected, so there was no need to join in the fun.

"Li Yan, you are ranked second this time." His companions carefully observed his reaction, "There is a new student who transferred from the mysterious No. 14 school district... He is... the first."

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Yan's eyes. This was the first time he failed to take the lead, which actually made him feel the fun of the challenge.

There were only a few people around the notice board. Li Yan walked closer and the names in the first row jumped out at him. The magic power gap between them was more than twenty points.

"Li Li." He chewed on the name, "Next time, I will never lose to you again." The long-lost desire for competition burned in his chest.

"Sister Li, you are so awesome!" As soon as Li Li stepped into the classroom, she immediately became the focus of the whole audience. Lian Yu excitedly greeted her.

Lian Yu's own magic value has always been mediocre, and he has long been accustomed to it, but Li Li's results made him open his eyes wide.

"As expected of our Sister Li, a magical genius."

For the first time ever, Jiang Cheng did not doze off in class. He looked at her with surprise and admiration in his eyes.

Yao Shuige was so shocked that she was speechless. Although she knew that Li Li had a solid foundation in magic, she had never expected that she would be so outstanding. The top student in the grade was actually her roommate who she lived with day and night! This made her even happier than her own improvement in grades.

Back at the Jiang family, the whole family gathered in the dining room. The tableware had not yet been touched, as if they were waiting for Li Li's return. No one blamed her for being late. Li Xiuling urged her to wash her hands and eat.

Li Tu took a close look at his biological daughter for the first time. He originally firmly believed that Li Li could not surpass Li Yan, whom he had carefully nurtured. However, what Li Xiuling said today overturned his concept.

He had never expected that even without special magic training and excellent educational resources, Li Li would still be as bright and radiant as a pearl.

He personally picked up food for Li Li and gently asked her if her magic resources were sufficient. She could just ask for anything she needed.

Li Jing was also feeling mixed emotions. People around him were talking about a freshman, a magic prodigy, who beat Li Yan to the top of the list. Her amazing magic power was widely circulated on the school forum. Many times, he wanted to tell everyone that Li Li was his biological sister, but inexplicably he never got around to it.

On the surface, the family was dining together in harmony, but Li Yan was unusually silent and lowered his head, his thoughts drifting into the unknown distance.

After the monthly magic test, Li Li's name was known throughout the school. Facing all kinds of gazes, she remained true to herself, but she didn't know how many people were secretly planning how to challenge her. Math tutor Lao Li was so excited when he saw Li Li's results that he almost fainted. He knew how difficult this exam was. Li Li's full score fully proved her talent, and she must participate in the magic competition!

In the distant continent of Azreal, people coexist with wisdom and magic. Li Li, a girl with extraordinary mathematical talent, is often regarded as an outlier. However, she has long forgotten all this.

"Li Li, come to my wizard tower." Mathematics tutor Fred summoned her after the class.

Inside the Mage Tower, Fred took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Li Li, "Please fill out this contract."

Li Li took it and saw "Arcane Mathematics Olympiad" written on it.

"You haven't heard of it yet?" Fred was a little surprised. "That's the most advanced magic duel in the entire continent."

"I know, but what does this have to do with me?" Li Li was puzzled.

Fred was stunned. He had not expected Li Li to refuse. "The honor of this competition is extremely noble. As long as you win the provincial championship, you can win direct admission to many colleges. If you can enter the Arcane National Team, any college on the continent will be your choice." He explained patiently, hoping that she would understand its importance.

After listening to this, Li Li still maintained an indifferent expression, "I don't want to participate, you should look for someone else who is more skilled." She didn't want to break the rare tranquility.

"You are the most mathematically gifted soul I have ever met. You should not be trapped in conventional studies. That will only bury your talent." Fred advised sincerely.

"I have been teaching magic for ten years. Since our country first participated in the Arcane Games in 1980, I personally participated in 2001 and witnessed many geniuses and their love for magic. We used to be the leader in the Arcane Games, but now our performance has been declining year by year. Last year, we didn't even make it into the top three. How do foreigners view us? They laugh at us for only being able to memorize things by rote and ignoring the essence and beauty of magic." Fred's words were calm but full of emotion, and there seemed to be a trace of moisture in the corners of his eyes.

Li Li stared at him, this thin and ordinary middle-aged wizard, with a youthful enthusiasm burning in his eyes, which was the light of endless love for magic.

She had seen that kind of light in the eyes of countless researchers in the interstellar space. In the past, she only regarded research as a duty and did not understand why someone would devote everything to it. Now, she seemed to have realized something. It was a power called belief.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll participate in the competition."

Did you really agree?

"Then you should complete the contract quickly." Fred's face instantly returned to its serious expression.

Hmm??? Something seems to be wrong!

He is testing me! Li Li gritted her teeth and completed the registration contract.
