"Twenty-seven people nationwide scored one thousand points on this year's College Entrance Examination."

Inside the Magic Martial University Admissions Office building, Gu De, looking sharp and capable, spoke up.

As the director of the Admissions Office, although the College Entrance Examination results had yet to be announced, he could still obtain the scores in advance.

Of course, these were mainly the scores of top students.

Their results did not need much time to verify. Every examination site had a leaderboard, and a little inquiry was enough to get them.

"Mm, two more than last year."

There was another person in the office—Fang Ziwei, one of Magic Martial University's three Vice Principals.

Though her hair had turned white and wrinkles covered her face, she remained spirited and vigorous, her aura deep and mighty.

As Vice Principal, she was extremely busy, yet Gu De had invited her here tonight.

That showed this year's College Entrance Examination might be somewhat unusual.

"Tell me, why exactly did you call me here?"

"There is indeed something, and it is rather urgent."

Gu De straightened up and handed Shi Yan's file over.

"This year, the difficulty of the South of the Yangtze examination site was raised to its highest level in thirty years, and it was also the highest in the nation. Yet this candidate, Shi Yan, scored one thousand points."

"Oh? He got every single point?"

Interest appeared in Fang Ziwei's clouded eyes as she accepted the file.

The difficulty was high, yet he had still achieved a perfect score. He truly deserved special attention, and Magic Martial University should compete for this candidate.

Yet a few seconds later, she frowned. "D-Class Biological Ignite? How is that possible?"

"I was startled too. It was simply too absurd. Later, I called Lin Ye to confirm it. During the tests before the College Entrance Examination, Shi Yan's ability really was D-Class."

Gu De continued.

"However, that is not the most important part. Elder Fang, please keep reading."

"Mm... What? He killed nearly all the Second-Order Demonic Beasts!"

Very soon, Fang Ziwei cried out in alarm.

Thinking she had misread it, she could not help reading it again, until she had gone through every page of the file.

Even as an Eighth-Order Martial King with vast knowledge and experience, she was somewhat shocked at this moment.

Not only had he killed Second-Order Demonic Beasts, he had slaughtered a large swath of First-Order ones as well. He had even made a breakthrough shortly before the College Entrance Examination ended.

According to the guesses of the martial artists at the scene, Shi Yan's ability had most likely reached SS-Class.

"What is happening this year? Super geniuses are appearing in an explosive surge."

She could not help murmuring, strange light flickering repeatedly in her eyes.

White Eagle Country had produced an SS-Class talent, and India-Vatican Country had one too. Europa had also produced one at the beginning of the year.

Dongying Country had also produced an SS-Class talent not long ago. When the Hall Master of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall went over, martial artists throughout Dongying Country did not dare utter a word, all because they feared Po would go kill that genius.

And Huaxia Kingdom, counting Shi Yan, already had two.

In previous years, even over a decade, the entire world might not produce a single SS-Class genius. Yet this year, six had appeared.

It was simply a spectacular wonder.

"Elder Fang, the other SS-Class talent appeared around Upper Capital. We may not be able to compete with Jingwu for that one, so we have to secure Shi Yan."

Gu De began stating why he had invited Fang Ziwei here.

"Our decision-making this year was flawed. We did not place enough importance on the South of the Yangtze examination site, while the other three schools had already made preparations there. So I would like to ask Elder Fang to contact Xiaoya. Isn't she carrying out a mission over there?"

Zhang Yunya was Fang Ziwei's disciple, a Magic Martial University student about to enter her fourth year.

She was currently Magic Martial University's big sister. Her current location was near Baiyun City, so having her invite Shi Yan would be the fastest and most suitable option.

Only speed could produce results.

Shi Yan's background was not particularly good, and his experience was lacking. He could easily be sweet-talked away by the conditions offered by the other schools.

Therefore, Magic Martial University had to move quickly—at the very least, they had to contact Shi Yan before the other three prestigious schools arrived.

"Send Xiaoya... Fine, I'll contact her."

Fang Ziwei hesitated somewhat, but ultimately nodded.

The next moment, her figure shifted slightly, and she vanished.

Seeing there was hope, Gu De took out his phone and made a call.

"Lin Ye, are you still in Baiyun City..."

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!

After dinner, by the time Shi Yan returned to his residential complex, it was already deep into the night.

Other than the glowing streetlights, no one was moving about in the complex.

However, just as he was about to go upstairs, he discovered a door panel blocking his path.

No, it was not a door panel. It was an axe as large as a door panel!

The "door panel" turned, stirring a faint breeze.

Then a graceful figure appeared.

She wore a simple white T-shirt on top, exposing slender, snow-white arms. The twin peaks before her chest were enough to make one yearn for them; below that were off-white frayed denim shorts, revealing a pair of long legs even more upright than Shi Yan himself.

On her feet was a pair of dark blue canvas flats.

Such simple clothing!

Yet it suited her perfectly and looked exceptionally good.

Paired with a face no less beautiful than Qi Ziyue's, she was undeniably a stunning beauty.

Yet she was different from Qi Ziyue as well. Qi Ziyue was the cool and aloof type, while the beauty before him brimmed with youthful vitality.

Mm, she truly was full of vitality... after all, she was carrying a gigantic axe on her shoulder.

Looking at the metallic sheen radiating from the axe, Shi Yan felt that his four-hundred-and-eighty-pound Lava Spirit Devouring Saber was somewhat lacking.

He estimated it weighed no less than a thousand pounds.

"You are..."

"Zhang Yunya from Magic Martial University. Junior Student Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhang Yunya's voice was like her—brimming with vitality and pleasant to hear.

"The school sent me to bring you in... Your grades are excellent, and you may become a specially admitted student of Magic Martial University. I am here to deliver your admission notice."

Recalling her teacher's instructions, she made her tone as gentle as possible.

"So it's Senior Zhang."

Shi Yan's expression shifted. He knew people from universities would come looking for him, but he had not expected them to arrive so quickly.

"However, it's already so late. Senior, why don't you return to the hotel and rest first? We can talk tomorrow?"

"There's no time. I still have to go chop people up later." Zhang Yunya shook her head. "Let's make this quick. I'll tell you the conditions Magic Martial University is offering. If you have anything to add, you can tell me."

"Wait, Senior, you're going to chop people up?"

Shi Yan spotted the crucial point.

He glanced at the massive axe on Zhang Yunya's shoulder. If she used that thing to chop someone, would they not end up black and blue all over?

But that was not the most important part. Zhang Yunya was a student, so why could she chop people up? Why did she need to chop people up?

Wasn't that the Monster Suppression Bureau's job?

"Yeah, I'm only a few short of completing the mission." Zhang Yunya spoke as though it were only natural, but then she remembered that Shi Yan had just graduated from high school, so she explained.

"Junior Student Brother, what you don't know is that some martial artists, after gaining powerful strength, want to lord it over ordinary people. They have also done many terrible things. Everyone has the right to punish them. It isn't just the Monster Suppression Bureau—we are also obligated to eliminate them."

"So that's how it is."

Shi Yan was secretly startled. This world was even more complicated than he had imagined.

Zhang Yunya did not say much more and prepared to explain the conditions offered by Magic Martial University.

But at that moment, a ring on her hand flashed faintly.

Seeing the light, her beautiful eyes immediately turned sharp.

But she quickly recalled the task her teacher had given her.

"Junior Student Brother, come on. Senior will take you out for a walk, and I'll explain the conditions the school is offering on the way."

Without giving him a chance to refuse, Zhang Yunya directly grabbed Shi Yan's hand and swept out of the residential complex like the wind.

"Don't you like killing demonic beasts? You can help me out. I'll give you some benefits afterward."

Shi Yan: "???"

He wanted badly to refuse, but an inexplicable force flowed from Zhang Yunya's hand, leaving him unable to resist at all.

He wailed inwardly. Wasn't she here to recruit someone? Why was she dragging someone into battle instead?!

Unfortunately, he was no longer in control of himself.

What neither Shi Yan nor Zhang Yunya knew was that after they left, a figure descended from the sky and followed behind them.

It was Lin Ye of the Jiangnan Monster Suppression Bureau.

"Teacher Gu was right. This Junior Student Sister truly does not let people rest easy."
