"Look, the testing arena up ahead has the latest practical combat robots produced by Longxing Science and Industry."
"Rumor has it that a single robot like that is worth hundreds of thousands of Huaxia Coins!"
"Moreover, these practical combat robots are said to have been built into all-round hexagonal warriors.
They can score Martial Warriors in multiple areas—speed, strength, agility, Willpower, Martial Arts Mastery, and martial art proficiency—providing the grading teachers with an extremely valuable reference."
"Damn, I never expected Jiangning City's final Grand Entrance Exam this year to play such a trump card!"
"This is so exciting and thrilling!"
The students around them all cried out in surprise when they saw the metal practical combat robots appear on the testing platforms.
"Silence. Next, the students whose names are called should enter their assigned platforms for testing!"
"City First High School, Class One, Year Three, Wang Chong. Platform Number 1."
"City Third High School, Class Eleven, Year Three, Liu Rufeng. Platform Number 2."
"City Experimental High School, Class Two, Year Three, Wang Yue'e. Platform Number Three."
"City First High School, Class Six, Year Three, Zhou Liang. Platform 53."
When Zhou Liang's name was called, he shot to his feet, his palms slightly sweaty.
"Good luck!"
Ye Fan raised his fist.
"Yeah! Father Ye, bless me so I can score over thirty."
Zhou Liang prayed.
Liu Lou and Sang Tiantian also offered their encouragement in turn.
More than a hundred examinees entered the arenas. For a time, they competed simultaneously, creating a rather breathtaking spectacle.
The examinees taking the test could choose whichever standard-issue testing weapon they were most familiar with.
Zhou Liang chose a Long Staff.
Imitating Teacher Fang, his martial arts teacher, he stood it behind his back, extended one hand forward, and assumed the Hidden Dragon Stance as he waited in full battle readiness.
Boom!
Thud!
Bang!
At the same time, battles had already erupted across many platforms.
Moreover, the combat robots were highly intelligent.
They could swiftly adjust their output strength according to the combat power displayed by the examinees.
At the same time, they detected a Martial Warrior's abilities in every aspect and gave an evaluation.
Now that Ye Fan's Mental Power far surpassed that of ordinary people, his realm had risen, and naturally, his vision was frighteningly sharp as well.
With only one sweep of his gaze, while everyone else was still dazzled by the spectacle, he had already gained a rough understanding of the levels of the hundred examinees in the arena.
The strongest examinee looked to be merely at Spirit Stream Realm, Second Grade.
Moreover, he had awakened a spiritual nature.
However, it looked to be B-Rank at most.
A camera in the air even directly captured that examinee's fighting style and livestreamed it onto the giant screen.
The sight drew continuous cries of astonishment from many examinees.
Yet Ye Fan had little interest in strength at that realm and skill level.
So, he simply shifted his gaze to Zhou Liang.
At that moment, Zhou Liang was using the most basic Fan-grade staff technique to fight the practical combat robot.
He looked somewhat disheveled.
However, the guy was fairly clever. He did not clash head-on with the battle robot that knew no pain.
Instead, he fought by circling around, harassing, and launching sneak attacks.
Although it looked a little cowardly, it was actually quite effective.
In less than three minutes, examinees began finishing their practical combat tests one after another.
This was because although the practical combat robots adjusted their strength according to the examinees, their power also gradually increased over time.
Once an examinee truly could not hold on any longer, the test ended.
This not only improved efficiency.
It also revealed the examinees' limits and allowed fair evaluation scores to be given.
The practical combat scores of the examinees appeared one after another on the giant screen.
Wang Chong: 53.
Liu Rufeng: 67.
Wang Yue'e: 42.
There were even some academic-track examinees whose martial arts were simply too weak. Their Vitality Values were only in the twenties, and they were defeated in just over ten seconds.
Their test scores were only a scant dozen points, or even just a few points.
Zhou Liang: 38.
When Zhou Liang returned, he was overjoyed, almost dancing with excitement.
If you can't find it by searching the Book Title, try searching the author instead. It may simply have been Renamed!
"Father Ye, 38 points! Tiantian, I scored 38 points. With a 93 in academic subjects, converted together, my total score... is 615!"
Zhou Liang was very satisfied with this score.
Six hundred points was absolutely above the excellent threshold.
If Zhou Liang performed steadily on the college entrance exam, getting into Jiangnan Province's best academic university would not be a problem.
"Mm, not bad."
Ye Fan nodded as well, happy for Zhou Liang.
The testing continued.
Round after round.
So far, the highest Martial Dao score had only been 68 points.
This made the martial exam examinees howl in despair. This year's Martial Dao scores had been suppressed far too low.
Next, in the eighty-eighth round, Liu Lou took the stage.
"City Second High School, Class Fifteen, Year Three: Zhou Yuan. Platform 35."
When the teacher calling names announced this name, waves of cheers rose from City Second High School.
Ye Fan slightly raised his eyes. This person should be the Earth Attribute S-Rank spiritual genius from City Second High School that Liu Lou had mentioned.
"City Experimental High School, Class One, Year Three. Huo Xian'er. Platform 72."
When the young woman in fiery red clothing appeared, many male students in the City Experimental section erupted into cheers.
There was no doubt about it.
This woman in red was immensely popular.
"Mm, this female student should be the Fire Attribute female genius from City Experimental that Liu Lou mentioned."
"She's pretty beautiful too..."
Zhou Liang adjusted his glasses and murmured flirtatiously beside Ye Fan's ear.
"Ow..."
Suddenly, Zhou Liang let out a wail.
Sang Tiantian beside him had pinched him hard at the waist.
Sang Tiantian cast Ye Fan an imperceptible glance and bit her lip. She wanted to see just how far apart she and a female Genius Martial Artist really were.
Very soon.
The battle began.
On platform after platform, the students taking the martial exam fought the battle robots.
Ye Fan merely swept his eyes over them.
Then he directly passed over ninety-seven percent of the Martial Warriors.
In the end, his attention settled on Zhou Yuan, the S-Rank Earth Attribute spiritual Genius Martial Artist.
Huo Xian'er, the S-Rank Fire Attribute spiritual genius.
And Liu Lou, whom he thought highly of.
"Spirit-grade Low-tier Martial Art—Coiling Dragon Rock Wall!"
This Earth Attribute genius student, Zhou Yuan, was exceptionally skilled at defense.
Moreover, he was also a Martial Warrior who used a spear. While defending, his spear shot out like lightning.
He could make his defense watertight while keeping his counterattacks sharp and dangerous.
Furthermore, he had cultivated this Spirit-grade Low-tier Martial Art to the realm of major mastery, and his Martial Dao Skill was at the peak of the first tier.
His Vitality Value had reached nearly five hundred calories, making him a Martial Warrior at Spirit Stream Realm, Fourth Grade.
Close-up shots often focused on Zhou Yuan.
The students of City Second High School kept crying out in amazement.
They cheered and shouted encouragement for Zhou Yuan's performance.
"Spirit-grade Mid-tier—Fire Phoenix Butterfly Dance!"
The red-clad Huo Xian'er used a long whip.
As she swung it, flames spread outward, as though forming a fire phoenix dancing gracefully through the air.
Her battle was exceedingly gorgeous and highly entertaining to watch.
She was also the genius young woman in the arena fully capable of contending with Zhou Yuan for the best performance of this round.
Whether it was her Vitality Value, Martial Dao Skill, or martial art proficiency, she was no weaker than Zhou Yuan.
In contrast, few people paid attention to Liu Lou.
Yet he held a staff in one hand and used Cannon Fist with the other, the sounds of impact ringing out without end.
He fought the testing robot in a fierce, life-and-death struggle.
"Not bad. You've improved greatly!"
Ye Fan commented.
Soon, only three people remained in the arena.
Only then did people notice Liu Lou and discover that this Youngster's fist technique was truly exquisite.
Liu Lou finished first. Then Huo Xian'er and Zhou Yuan finished in succession.
Everyone stared fixedly at the giant screen.
The three who had lasted the longest—Liu Lou, Zhou Yuan, and Huo Xian'er—should be the top three of this round's test.
How many points had they scored?
Sure enough, in the next moment, the scores began rolling. The higher the score, the closer it appeared to the front of the giant screen...
