----

A panel appeared before Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye quickly collected his thoughts and began to examine it.

"Physique Enhancement? Does that mean my physical fitness has improved?"

He could see that.

His physique had improved from [Mortal Body, Class D] to [Mortal Body, Class C].

Jiang Ye carefully felt it. In that very moment, his body seemed to have undergone some changes.

First, his Five Senses became clearer.

Second, his body seemed to have become much lighter.

It was as if impurities were being expelled from his body, and his spirit, energy, and mind felt refreshed.

These were only subtle changes, not very obvious, but Jiang Ye could indeed feel them.

"It seems the improvement isn't huge, but it's unlikely to be a massive leap from Class D to Class C."

Jiang Ye took a deep breath.

A stronger physique should have an impact on actual combat.

How much of a change it would bring would be revealed in the upcoming assessment.

At the same time.

In Class Nine of the second year, all students had successively completed their Punch Force tests.

The electronic blackboard at the back of the classroom immediately displayed the Punch Force rankings for this test.

Jiang Ye glanced at his own ranking.

His punch force was 245 kilograms, ranking 35th in the entire class.

"I've surpassed five people this winter break."

A smile appeared on Jiang Ye's face. At the end of last semester's final exams, his ranking was 40th.

With a total of one hundred students in the class, this ranking wasn't low.

However, the punch force test was just the beginning.

Next were the speed test and the combat test.

The final ranking of the assessment would be based on a comprehensive score derived from the results of all three tests.

Jiang Ye had undergone Physique Enhancement, so his ranking in the next two tests might still rise.

"Speed assessment begins."

The female teacher on the stage spoke calmly.

She pressed a button on the wall, and the Punch Force Tester in the center of the classroom slowly descended.

At the same time, a silver-white treadmill rose from the ground.

"First up, Li Zhichao."

A sharp-headed boy walked out of the line and began the speed test.

Following him, other students stepped up one after another.

The electronic blackboard at the back of the classroom continuously updated the rankings.

"Li Zhichao: 14.9 m/s"

"Wen Yuehui: 12.7 m/s"

"Zeng Niu: 10.9 m/s"

"Next, Jiang Ye."

The female teacher said.

"Yes, Teacher Chen."

Jiang Ye stood up and walked towards the treadmill.

The female teacher's name was Chen Zilu. She was Class Nine's martial arts teacher. She was very young, extremely beautiful, with snow-white skin, and was very popular among the boys.

Jiang Ye stepped onto the treadmill. This treadmill was set to a 100-meter mode, and his peak speed during this period would be his assessment score.

"Begin."

Boom!

As Jiang Ye took a step, the treadmill instantly roared to life.

Lights flashed continuously on the track, precisely measuring his speed with each stride.

Soon, the hundred-meter test concluded.

The electronic blackboard refreshed with Jiang Ye's data—"12.0 m/s".

"He actually reached 12 meters per second?"

"Is there a mistake?"

In the classroom, many showed surprised expressions.

12 m/s was the speed standard for Cultivation Method Minor Accomplishment.

Yet, Jiang Ye clearly hadn't reached that realm yet.

Chen Zilu also looked at Jiang Ye and smiled, "It seems classmate Jiang Ye underwent rigorous speed training during the winter break, correct?"

Jiang Ye remained silent.

"Everyone saw it, right? This is the result of persistence and effort. You all should learn from Jiang Ye."

Chen Zilu looked at the others, not sparing praise for Jiang Ye.

Only Jiang Ye knew.

His speed breaking through the 12 m/s mark was likely inseparable from the Physique Enhancement he had just experienced.

"My control over my body seems to have become even higher."

Jiang Ye savored the feeling, "Although my cultivation method realm hasn't improved, I'm stronger than before."

Was this Physique Enhancement?

It was indeed extraordinary!

At this moment, the speed assessment rankings were released.

Jiang Ye returned to his spot and looked at the electronic blackboard.

"30th place."

"What a shame. If I could have gotten this ranking in the last final exam, I could have applied for financial aid this year."

Jiang Ye felt joy mixed with a touch of regret.

He was an orphan, raised by his adoptive parents.

His adoptive parents were both grassroots workers with very modest financial situations.

In such circumstances, he could apply for financial aid from the school, provided his grades were within the top thirty of his class.

"A Ye, congratulations, you've broken into the top thirty."

Beside him, the brown-skinned youth exclaimed, "After just one winter break, you've improved by ten spots. That's amazing!"

Jiang Ye looked at him and smiled, "Compared to you, I'm still far behind."

The brown-skinned youth was named Wen Yuehui, Jiang Ye's good friend.

At the same time, he was also one of the top ten students in Class Nine, and his Star Martial Cultivation Method had long since reached Minor Accomplishment.

"Compared to me?"

Wen Yuehui shook his head and sighed, "Then you'll have to work hard. Catching up to me won't be easy."

Though he said this, he secretly resolved to buckle down himself later.

While he was genuinely happy to see his brother improve.

If his brother actually surpassed him, he would start to feel upset.

However, he also believed that as long as he truly applied himself, it would be almost impossible for Jiang Ye, with his current ranking, to catch up.

Jiang Ye, on the other hand, also secretly made a resolution: "I'll set a small goal: before the end of my second year of high school, I'll break into the top ten of the class!"

This had once been his goal for the college entrance examination.

But now, with the system, everything was naturally different.

"Next, we will proceed with the combat assessment."

"The combat assessment for the college entrance examination is divided into Arena Combat and Virtual Starry Sky assessments."

"Due to limited conditions, this time we will only conduct the Arena Combat Assessment."

Chen Zilu said calmly, "I will suppress my strength to the Beginner level of the Star Martial Cultivation Method and spar with you all."

"But remember, by the time of the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, you will face opponents whose cultivation methods have reached Great Accomplishment."

Reaching Great Accomplishment in the Star Martial Cultivation Method was the minimum standard for the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.

For students in the Ordinary Class, reaching this requirement before the college entrance examination basically gave them a fifty percent chance of being admitted to a Martial Arts University.

Of course, Martial Arts Universities are also divided into tiers.

Among them, the Ten Great Famous Schools are the most outstanding, followed by the Twenty-Five School Alliance, and finally the hundred Ordinary Martial Arts Universities.

For students in the Ordinary Class, getting into an Ordinary Martial Arts University is already quite good.

"Buzz!"

Chen Zilu stepped on a button on the ground, and a light immediately lit up on the floor in a corner of the classroom.

A silver-white circular arena with a diameter of ten meters rose up.

Chen Zilu walked onto the arena and scanned the students below.

Soon, the combat assessment began.

Although Chen Zilu suppressed her cultivation to the beginner level of the Star Martial Cultivation Method.

Even when facing students ranked in the top ten of the class, she decided the outcome within ten moves.

"Next."

"Next."

"Next!"

The clear, cold shouts from the stage continued.

"The teacher's fundamental skills are too profound." Jiang Ye, below the stage, stared intently at Chen Zilu, a sense of longing arising in his heart.

Combat is the most important part of martial arts.

And martial arts fundamentals are the most crucial first step in combat.

Chen Zilu, at the beginner level, easily defeated opponents who were at the minor accomplishment stage.

This was thanks to her extremely profound foundation; no matter how fiercely her opponent attacked, she remained unshaken.

"With this Physique Enhancement, I wonder how much my combat ability has improved?"

Jiang Ye also felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Time passed.

Finally, it was Jiang Ye's turn to compete again.

And what Jiang Ye didn't expect was that when he began his combat assessment, an accident occurred!
