"This year, 27 people nationwide scored 1000 points on the College Entrance Examination."
Gude, looking efficient, spoke from within the Magic Martial University's admissions office building.
As the director of admissions, he could find out the College Entrance Examination scores in advance, even though they hadn't been officially released yet.
Of course, this primarily applied to the top students' scores.
Their results didn't take long to check; each examination room had a leaderboard, and a little inquiry could get the information.
"Mm, that's two more than last year."
Another person was in the office, Fang Ziwei, one of Magic Martial University's three vice-principals.
Although her hair was white and her face was wrinkled, she was energetic, with a long and profound aura.
As a vice-principal, she was very busy, but Gude had invited her over tonight.
This indicated that this year's College Entrance Examination might be a bit different.
"Go on, what's the specific matter you called me here for?"
"There is indeed something, and it's quite urgent."
Gude straightened his posture and handed Shi Yan's file over.
"The difficulty of the Jiangnan examination area this year was upgraded, making it the most difficult in thirty years, and also the most difficult nationwide. Yet, this candidate, Shi Yan, scored 1000 points."
"Oh? He got full marks."
Fang Ziwei's cloudy eyes showed interest, and she took the file.
High difficulty and a perfect score certainly warranted close attention, and Magic Martial University should try to recruit this candidate.
However, after a few seconds, she frowned: "D-Class Biological Ignite, how is that possible?"
"I was also surprised at the time. It was simply outrageous. Later, I called Lin Ye to confirm, and in the test before the College Entrance Examination, Shi Yan's Supernatural Ability was indeed D-Class."
Gude continued.
"But this isn't the most important part. Elder Fang, please keep reading."
"Mm... What, he almost killed all the Second-Order Demonic Beasts!"
Soon, Fang Ziwei exclaimed in surprise in Cixi.
She thought she had misread and looked again, until she had read all the pages of the file.
Even though she was an Eighth-Order Martial King and well-traveled, she was somewhat shocked at this moment.
Not only did he kill Second-Order Demonic Beasts, but he also killed a large number of First-Order ones, and even broke through near the end of the College Entrance Examination.
And according to the guesses of the Warriors on the scene, Shi Yan's Supernatural Ability had very likely reached SS-Class.
"What's going on this year? Super geniuses are appearing in a flood."
She couldn't help but murmur, her eyes flashing with surprise.
White Eagle Country had produced an SS-Class, India had one, and Europe had one at the beginning of the year.
There was also Japan, which had produced an SS-Class not long ago. When the head of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall went over, all the Warriors in Japan dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing and killing that genius.
And China, counting Shi Yan, now had two.
SS-Class geniuses, in previous years or even decades, the world might not have seen even one, yet six appeared this year.
It was simply a miracle.
"Elder Fang, the other SS-Class appeared in the Shangjing area. We might not be able to compete with Jingwu. We must secure Shi Yan."
Gude began to state the purpose of inviting Fang Ziwei there.
"Our decision-making was flawed this year; we didn't pay enough attention to the Jiangnan examination area. The other three schools already had people prepared in Jiangnan. So I wanted to ask Elder Fang to contact Xiao Ya. Isn't she on a mission over there?"
Zhang Yunya, Fang Ziwei's disciple, a student preparing to enter her senior year at Magic Martial University.
She was currently the top student at Magic Martial University. Her current location was near Baiyun City, making her the quickest and most suitable person to invite Shi Yan.
Speed was key to effectiveness.
Shi Yan's background wasn't great, and his lack of experience would make him easily swayed by the conditions offered by other schools.
Therefore, Magic Martial University had to be fast, at least to contact Shi Yan before the other three top schools arrived.
"Ask Xiao Ya to... Alright, I'll contact her."
Fang Ziwei hesitated slightly but finally nodded.
The next moment, her figure flickered, and she disappeared.
Seeing that there was hope, Gude took out his phone and made a call:
"Lin Ye, are you still in Baiyun City..."
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the name has just been changed!
After dinner, it was already late at night when Shi Yan returned to his residential complex.
The only lights on in the residential area were the night lights; no one was walking around anymore.
However, just as he was about to go upstairs, he found a door blocking his path.
No, it wasn't a door, it was an axe as big as a door!
The "door" turned, stirring a breeze.
Then, a graceful figure appeared.
She wore a simple white T-shirt on her upper body, with slender, snow-white arms revealed. Her chest was full and inviting. Below that, she wore off-white denim shorts with frayed edges, revealing a pair of long legs that were even straighter than Shi Yan himself.
Her feet were clad in a pair of dark blue canvas flats.
Such simple attire!
But it suited her perfectly and looked great.
Paired with a face no less beautiful than Qi Ziyue's, she was undeniably a stunner.
Yet, she was different from Qi Ziyue. Qi Ziyue had a cool and aloof demeanor, while this beauty was brimming with youthful vitality.
Yeah, she was definitely full of vitality... especially since she was carrying a giant axe on her shoulder.
Judging by the metallic sheen of the axe, Shi Yan felt his 480-jin Lava Spirit Devouring Saber was a bit inadequate.
He estimated it weighed no less than a thousand jin.
"You are..."
"Zhang Yun Ya from Magic Martial University, junior. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Zhang Yun Ya's voice was as full of vitality as she was, and it was pleasant to hear.
"The university sent me to bring you here... Your excellent results mean you can be an exceptional student at Magic Martial. I'm here to deliver your acceptance letter."
Remembering her teacher's instructions, she tried to soften her tone as much as possible.
"So you're Senior Zhang."
Shi Yan's expression shifted. He knew people from prestigious universities would come looking for him, but he hadn't expected them so soon.
"But it's so late now. Why don't you go back to your hotel to rest, Senior? We can talk tomorrow?"
"No time. I have to go chop someone later." Zhang Yun Ya shook her head. "Let's make this quick. I'll tell you the conditions Magic Martial is offering, and you can tell me if you have any additions."
"Wait, Senior, you're going to chop someone?"
Shi Yan caught a glaring inconsistency.
He glanced at the giant axe on Zhang Yun Ya's shoulder. Going to chop someone with that thing, wouldn't they be bruised all over?
But that wasn't the most important thing. Why was Zhang Yun Ya, a student, allowed to chop people? And why was she going to?
Wasn't that the job of the Monster Suppression Bureau?
"Yeah, just a few more to go to complete the mission." Zhang Yun Ya said matter-of-factly. However, realizing Shi Yan had just graduated from high school, she explained:
"Junior, you might not know this, but some warriors, after gaining immense power, want to lord over ordinary people. They do many wicked things, and everyone has the right to punish them. It's not just the Monster Suppression Bureau; we also have an obligation to eliminate them."
"I see."
Shi Yan was slightly surprised. This world was more complex than he had imagined.
Zhang Yun Ya didn't elaborate further and prepared to state Magic Martial's offer.
But at that moment, a ring she wore on her hand flashed slightly.
Seeing the light, her beautiful eyes sharpened.
But she quickly remembered the task her teacher had assigned her.
"Junior, come on, Senior will take you out for a spin. I'll tell you about the university's offer on the way."
Without further ado, Zhang Yun Ya grabbed Shi Yan's hand and darted out of the residential area like the wind.
"Don't you like killing demonic beasts? You can help me out, and I'll give you a reward."
Shi Yan: "???"
He really wanted to refuse, but an inexplicable force from Zhang Yun Ya's hand made it impossible for him to resist.
He wailed inwardly. Wasn't she here to recruit him? Why was she dragging him into a fight?!
Unfortunately, he was no longer in control of his own body.
Little did Shi Yan and Zhang Yun Ya know, after they left, a figure descended from the sky and followed them.
It was Lin Ye from the Jiangnan Monster Suppression Bureau.
"Teacher Gu was right. This junior student sister is indeed a handful."
