Teacher's Special Tutoring, Martial Arts Examination Arrives

"Shi Yan, are you bothering her again?"

Liu Wang scrutinized Shi Yan from head to toe, his brow furrowed.

He felt Shi Yan's simping tendencies had flared up again. Otherwise, why would an A-Class campus beauty cause such a huge stir to isolate Shi Yan?

Shi Yan was speechless. "Am I that kind of person?"

Afterward, he recounted his encounter with Lu Jiaojiao at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Of course, he didn't reveal his specific stats.

He didn't want Liu Wang to be unable to handle it.

No, Liu Wang was already struggling to cope.

"You, you, you're saying you're a First-Order Warrior now?"

Liu Wang clutched his chest and stumbled back, his face filled with shock.

He didn't want to believe it, but seeing the saber in Shi Yan's hand, he had no choice but to accept it.

It was too surreal. After not seeing him for a single night, a 1.7-card tail-ender had become someone he had to look up to.

He had to remember that his own Blood Essence was only 3.6 cards.

"Big brother, no, Emperor Shi, are you a reincarnated strong cultivator? Please, be merciful and guide me to the pinnacle of the martial path."

Liu Wang's eyes were red as he hugged Shi Yan's arm, filled with envy and jealousy.

No wonder the campus beauty targeted Shi Yan. She must have been blinded by jealousy, just like him.

"Get lost."

Shi Yan pushed away the fatty's hand, a look of disgust on his face.

Not bad, Liu Wang's guess was almost right.

"Fatty, don't be discouraged. It's just that your luck hasn't arrived yet." Shi Yan fabricated a reason for his own improvement. "I was lucky. I accidentally helped the Monster Suppression Bureau a lot yesterday and received generous rewards, which allowed me to improve."

Killing Demonic Beasts could indeed be considered helping the Monster Suppression Bureau.

And there were indeed rewards, he just hadn't had the time to claim them yet.

After telling a half-truth, Liu Wang believed him.

"Shi Yan, isn't this considered cheating before the exam?"

Liu Wang looked like he was about to cry, lamenting the unfairness of fate.

He had intended to comfort Shi Yan because of the campus beauty incident, but now it was the other way around – he was the one who needed comforting.

"I'll help you cheat too."

Shi Yan smiled mysteriously, deciding to give the beginner Body Tempering Medicine he would receive later to the fatty.

All students who registered for the Martial Arts Examination would receive a dose of beginner Body Tempering Medicine today.

If he took it himself, it would at most increase his Blood Essence by one card, with little impact on his overall strength. It would be better to give it to Liu Wang.

After all, one card of Blood Essence could increase his strength by nearly a hundred jin, and with an extra card, Liu Wang's ability to kill Demonic Beasts would be significantly enhanced.

"No, the gap between us is too large. I don't want you to team up with me."

Liu Wang looked wary and took a step back.

Teaming up was not prohibited during the Martial Arts Examination. It allowed participants to help each other, compensate for each other's weaknesses, and improve the efficiency of killing Demonic Beasts, which was something the country encouraged.

However, this was an exception for score-boosting.

In previous Martial Arts Examinations, some people had used various means to hire stronger individuals to carry them to high scores. The result was that most people whose strength did not match their scores ended up dead.

They didn't die at the hands of others but were killed by Demonic Beasts.

This was because those with abnormal scores would receive a "reward" after the Martial Arts Examination.

This reward was a task that matched their score. After completing the task, they would receive generous rewards.

Unfortunately, no one had ever been able to complete this additional reward. Most people died during the mission.

Think about it: someone with a thirty-point capability undertaking a ninety-point task, wasn't that courting death?

"Don't worry, I'll go solo. Let's head to the classroom first; we'll be late."

Glancing at the time, the two of them sprinted towards the classroom.

Ten seconds ahead of Qin Feng, Shi Yan and Liu Wang entered the classroom.

Unsurprisingly, Qin Feng announced the news of changes to the examination venue for this year's Jiangnan Martial Arts Examination.

Next, he explained the advantages that local candidates could leverage.

Then came the distribution of the beginner Body Tempering Medicine.

"You're really giving it to me?"

After Qin Feng left, Liu Wang looked at the small medicine bottle in his hand, his face full of surprise.

So, Shi Yan's "cheating" was this.

"Nonsense, do you want it or not? I've had the intermediate one, so this beginner one isn't much use to me anymore."

"I want it! Thanks, Dad."

"Go to the school's training room to take it. The teachers will be there to watch."

After the medicine was distributed, everyone would take it together in a designated area, with teachers present to ensure no one experienced adverse effects.

However, halfway there, Shi Yan was called away by a phone call from Qin Feng.

A few minutes later.

In Qin Feng's office.

"Just put it down. It won't scratch the floor with the sheath on."

Qin Feng gestured towards the Lava Spirit Devouring Saber in Shi Yan's hand, then warmly poured him a cup of hot water.

As a former general in the Monster Suppression Bureau, he knew this blade from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Shi Yan took the cup, a wry smile forming in his heart.

Whatever had happened to him last night had likely reached Qin Feng's ears.

After all, a significant portion of the current Baiyun City Monster Suppression Bureau personnel were Qin Feng's former subordinates.

It was just a bit strange that Qin Feng recognized a B-Class blade from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

"Your strength has improved, which is a good thing. I won't ask how you improved, and you shouldn't tell anyone. It's taboo for warriors to have their secrets known by others."

Qin Feng took a sip of water and began his private tutoring session with Shi Yan.

"I called you here to discuss some important points about the Martial Arts Examination."

Hearing this, Shi Yan straightened up, listening attentively.

Since he was being called here privately, Qin Feng must be about to share knowledge not covered in regular classes.

"Remember, the Martial Arts Examination isn't just a game to get points; it's a test of survival."

Seeing Shi Yan sitting upright, the usually stern Qin Feng showed a look of approval.

"Not just the Martial Arts Examination, but any assessment you face in university later on should be treated as a test of survival."

"A living warrior is a true warrior."

"Getting back to the Martial Arts Examination, it lasts for 24 hours. You need to manage your time wisely, allocate your strength appropriately, and pay attention to when to replenish your energy..."

"Lastly, I'll emphasize that, just like in previous years, the Martial Arts Examination score is composed of a base score and bonus points, totaling 750 and 250 points respectively."

"I hope you'll focus on getting the base score. Don't touch that 250."

"In any Martial Arts Examination, there will be Second-Order Demonic Beasts in the core area, which is where the bonus points are located."

"You've improved your strength significantly in a short period and need time to digest it. The base score is enough for you to get into a top martial arts university, so don't even think about earning bonus points."

"Teaming up won't work either. Second-Order Demonic Beasts are not something you can handle yet."

"Alright, go back and get familiar with your blade. As long as it's not A-Class, you can bring it into the examination hall."

With that, Qin Feng stood up, concluding the brief lesson.

Shi Yan thanked him again and respectfully departed.

Honestly, this private tutoring session was incredibly beneficial.

His predecessor was too useless and hadn't proactively sought out much information. Qin Feng's explanation was like opening a new door for him.

"Anything below A-Class can be brought into the examination hall."

He raised the blade in his hand, a slight smile on his lips.

"Partner, I'm counting on you for the Martial Arts Examination."

Saying this, he headed towards the school's training room...

Time flowed by.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

The current Martial Arts Examination officially began!
