Ye Fan's Academic Score, Preparing for the Martial Exam

Name: Ye Fan.

Mental Power: 21.

Willpower: 28.

Martial Arts Mastery: Fist Technique Level 2 (35%), Spear Technique Level 2 (40%)

Bloodline Physique: Nine-Star Hegemonic Body (Spirituality not awakened).

Detection function activated. The host can detect any target. Current detection limit (Star River Ninth-Stage Peak—Vitality Value 12999).

Two days passed by quietly.

Today was the day of the Citywide Joint Examination.

It was also the last large-scale assessment before the Martial Unification College Entrance Examination.

As expected, Ye Fan's Vitality Value broke through the 1,200 mark today, and his realm reached Spirit Stream Eighth Stage!

Not only that, in less than a month, Ye Fan's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, as though he had shed his mortal shell and exchanged his bones.

Even the attribute panel's display functions were steadily improving.

It now displayed Enlightenment Points.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan had practically lived a three-point, one-line life these days.

School, Martial Hall, home.

He had not gone anywhere else, so no new sign-in locations had refreshed.

Thus, his Enlightenment Points remained at the two points rewarded from signing in at the previous commendation ceremony.

As Ye Fan's strength rose, the detection function had been upgraded.

This time, the detection limit had reached the Star River Realm Peak Stage, with a Vitality Value as high as 12,999.

That Vitality Value was already ten times that of the Spirit Stream Realm Peak Stage.

From this alone, one could see just how vast the gap between two major realms was—they could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The harder Martial Arts became, the further one went, the more difficult it became to improve.

After eating the rice porridge and eggs his mother had cooked, Ye Fan returned to his room and secretly ate three jin of precious Ironhide Blood Rhino meat.

Just then, a call came in.

"Brother Ye, I'm waiting for you at Linjiang Road Intersection."

The caller was Zhou Liang.

This morning was the academic portion of the Citywide Joint Examination.

He and Zhou Liang had both been assigned to the City No. 1 Examination Center.

That afternoon, Zhou Liang wanted to ride Ye Fan's coattails and train at the Star Martial Hall Jiangning Office.

So he had invited Ye Fan to go with him.

Ye Fan agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Zhou Liang was his good brother, so this was nothing. Besides, all the study notes he had used since returning had been lent to him by Liangzi.

"Alright, wait for me. I'll be there in three minutes."

After hanging up, Ye Fan changed into a loose tracksuit and took the elevator straight down to the parking lot.

The Wendao M9 had long been waiting there. The air conditioning had been set to a comfortable temperature, the fragrance system was on, and passionate music made his blood surge.

His groggy morning mood was immediately lifted.

With the autopilot set for Linjiang Road Intersection, Ye Fan picked up Zhou Liang, and the two drove toward the City No. 1 Examination Center.

"Brother Ye..."

Zhou Liang hesitated.

"Why are you hemming and hawing? If you've got something to say, say it. If you need to fart, let it out."

Ye Fan shot Zhou Liang an amused glance. This guy looked scholarly and refined with his glasses on.

But in truth, he was terribly sly beneath the surface.

What was he planning now?

"Um... I told Tiantian about going to the Star Martial Hall this afternoon. She wants to come with me too."

Zhou Liang looked embarrassed.

Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him. "Sure, no problem. But I'm doing this for your sake."

"Yes! Father Ye is the best! Come here, let me kiss you."

"Get lost."

The morning examination consisted of one large paper, with three hours allotted for it.

It included general knowledge of Huaxia Civilization, mathematics, and the history of the New Star Era's development.

Of those subjects, mathematics was the most challenging for Ye Fan.

After all, both general knowledge of Huaxia Civilization and New Star Era development history were somewhat like liberal arts subjects.

All he needed to do was memorize them.

Mathematics, on the other hand, was rather abstract, testing calculation, reasoning, and logical relationships.

Therefore, Ye Fan finished the civilization knowledge and New Star Era history sections first, then gnawed on mathematics, that hard bone.

However.

What surprised Ye Fan was that this hard bone of mathematics did not seem so hard this time.

That had to do with his diligent studying every morning for more than ten days.

Of course, Ye Fan's Mental Power had now reached 21 points, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

His comprehension, memory, and aptitude had all improved tremendously.

Learning mathematics well was merely a matter of time.

In two hours, Ye Fan had finished most of the paper. He used the remaining hour entirely for checking.

"Ring ring ring..."

The morning academic examination ended, and Ye Fan stretched lazily.

After handing in his paper and walking out of the examination building, he felt that the sunlight outside seemed especially bright.

"Brother Ye."

"Classmate Ye Fan."

Zhou Liang, glasses on and his cheeks still slightly chubby, walked over together with Sang Tiantian.

Today, Sang Tiantian wore a ladylike dress. She looked quiet and elegant, with a touch of playfulness and sweetness.

After all, she was the class flower.

As she walked over, she drew plenty of glances.

But Ye Fan merely swept his eyes over her, then ignored the faintly heated gaze Sang Tiantian directed at him.

"Mm, everyone's here. Let's go."

Ye Fan waved.

"Brother, my stomach's already growling from hunger. Lunch is on me."

Zhou Liang patted his chest and declared boldly, his spirit soaring to the clouds.

"I should treat."

Sang Tiantian smiled at Ye Fan. "After all, I'm only getting the chance to visit the Star Martial Hall thanks to Classmate Ye Fan."

"No, you're getting it thanks to Zhou Liang."

Ye Fan corrected her.

If Sang Tiantian had asked him alone, he would not have agreed.

Girl, you needed to know who came first and who came second.

"Haha, why are you being so formal with me? I've got it, I've got it!"

Zhou Liang, that willing sucker, took the bill upon himself.

"Hmph. I'll eat until you cry."

Ye Fan snorted.

A little later, when they came out of the cafeteria, Zhou Liang clutched his wallet with an expression of utter grief.

"Brother, you can really eat. Eight nutrient meals! You didn't even work out this morning. Where did all that food go?"

Zhou Liang complained.

Ye Fan's lips curved as he ignored him outright.

Served him right for volunteering to be the sucker.

"Classmate Ye Fan, are you full?"

Sang Tiantian asked.

Ye Fan glanced at her. This girl was very clever.

Since they were going to the Star Martial Hall that afternoon, it was time to wake her up to reality.

"Not bad. Seven-tenths full."

Ye Fan nodded.

"Brother, you really are a beast."

Zhou Liang wailed.

Star Martial Hall combat room.

"Holy shit, what kind of monster is my little brother? It hasn't even been twenty days, right? Yet he's actually fighting the captain to a standstill?!"

Not far away, Gunpowder, the bald man with an egg-like head, shouted in shock.

Wu Yao also opened her small mouth wide and patted her full chest.

She had said big sister would protect him. But little brother, if he kept this up, big sister would not be able to cover for him anymore.

That afternoon.

Ye Fan had come to prepare for the martial exam, but the moment he made his move this time, even Leng Feng was greatly startled.

He was too strong.

Ye Fan's Vitality Value was absolutely no weaker than Leng Feng's.

Even his martial techniques and mastery level were evenly matched with Leng Feng's.

Had his rate of improvement strapped itself to a rocket?

Not far away, a young girl lightly glistening with fragrant sweat occasionally glanced in this direction.

It was Sang Tiantian.

"Are you Classmate Tiantian? I'm Wu Yao from the Martial Hall's First Squad. Come, I'll give you some pointers on your martial arts."

Wu Yao, the Shadow Cat with a curvaceous figure, said to Sang Tiantian.

"Is it free?"

Sang Tiantian asked. After all, this kind of guidance was usually very expensive, and the money she had brought might not be enough.

"Mm, for his sake."

Wu Yao pointed at Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang froze. Who was this beautiful, kind-hearted, broad-minded young lady?

The papers were graded by fully intelligent AI. Before evening had even arrived, the class group chat announced the scores from that morning's academic examination.

"Damn, Father Ye, this score of yours..."
