"960 kilograms?"

The teacher with the full beard looked at Jiang Ye in surprise. "Your speed has also broken through 19 meters per second, almost reaching completion for the cultivation method."

The standard for completion of the Star Martial Cultivation Method is 1000 kilograms and 20 meters per second.

Of course, this is for students in the regular class.

For the Key Class, only 1500 kilograms and 25 meters per second counts as completion, as students in the Key Class have better physiques.

However, the college entrance examination uses the standards for the regular class.

Jiang Ye's data is already close to this standard.

"He was only a little over six hundred kilograms in the final exam, right?"

"He improved so quickly? How did he do it?"

Gasps of astonishment came from the classroom as the students were very shocked.

Wen Yuehui was also surprised. He had guessed that the gap between himself and Jiang Ye would widen, but he hadn't expected it to be this much!

Only Jiang Ye knew that the test just now was not his full strength.

"If I use Gale Step, my speed can reach over 35 meters per second," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

But if he did that, it would be too obvious, and anyone would know something was wrong.

The assessment continued.

Half an hour later.

The third part of the Martial Arts assessment – the combat assessment – began.

Jiang Ye felt no pressure whatsoever for this assessment either.

Following the standards for the college entrance examination, the teacher with the full beard would fight everyone in a ring using the strength of someone who had mastered their cultivation method.

When it was Jiang Ye's turn to go on stage.

This time, he didn't hold back. As soon as he started, he unleashed the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist.

He also wanted to see if he could defeat the teacher while using this Yellow Tier Mid-grade Art Technique.

"Boom!"

Jiang Ye's aura was like thunder, and his body flashed past. His fist wind cut through the air, launching out with an incredibly fierce momentum.

Faintly, a thunderous sound exploded.

Bang!

The teacher with the full beard and Jiang Ye met fist to fist with a solid impact.

"Hmm? This strength!" A flicker of shock flashed in the teacher's eyes. "It exceeds one thousand kilograms!"

Normally, one might not be able to display their highest level during combat compared to testing.

After all, testing requires charging up and preparation, while combat tests immediate performance.

Combat ability exceeding test results? That's rare!

"Not a bad kid," the teacher with the full beard suddenly smiled and said loudly, "Try your best to defeat me!"

With that, his fist techniques suddenly became sharper.

"Boom!" The teacher with the full beard threw punches one after another, each one no less powerful than Jiang Ye's previous strike.

It was as if one mountain peak after another was pressing down on Jiang Ye, ceaselessly.

Jiang Ye immediately felt immense pressure.

Fortunately, his Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist was close to mastery. His punches were fierce and unstoppable, and he managed to hold on by meeting force with force.

Three minutes later.

"Ding!"

With the sound of a bell, the teacher with the full beard and Jiang Ye simultaneously stopped fighting.

Three minutes was enough to test their combat score.

Jiang Ye was also the first student to last three minutes against the teacher with the full beard without being defeated.

"Your Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist is close to mastery, isn't it?" the teacher with the full beard looked at Jiang Ye, recognizing the advanced Art Technique.

Jiang Ye nodded. "Just a little bit more."

The teacher with the full beard heard this and sincerely praised, "You've cultivated it to near mastery in just one month? You're truly remarkable."

This was a Yellow Tier Mid-grade Art Technique, and it was quite difficult to cultivate.

Such strong comprehension and combat ability... it was almost as if he wasn't a student from the regular class.

"You flatter me, teacher," Jiang Ye said humbly.

"Keep up the good work. I hope to see you in the Key Class soon," the teacher with the full beard said with a smile.

Jiang Ye cupped his hands and turned to walk off the stage.

The entire class looked at him with envious and admiring eyes.

Even Jiang Ye's good friend, Wen Yuehui, looked at him with admiration.

When the gap is large enough, jealousy will not arise, only pure admiration.

Before long, the total scores for the three tests were revealed.

[First Place: Jiang Ye, 340 points]

[Second Place: Li Zhichao, 310 points]

[Third Place: Xu Sisi.]

Jiang Ye, without a doubt, took first place in the entire class.

Although there was still one more test, the Virtual Starry Sky assessment, with his combat ability, no one in Class Nine could surpass him.

However, Jiang Ye's gaze was no longer focused on Class Nine.

Instead, he looked out at the entire grade.

"I'm improving, and those people in the Key Class are also improving."

Jiang Ye thought to himself, "I wonder how much those people have improved after two months?"

A moment later, the students of Class Nine left the classroom and headed towards the spherical building, preparing for the Virtual Starry Sky assessment.

Spherical Building.

On the three giant screens in the lobby, the grade rankings for all three grades scrolled in real-time.

Jiang Ye was now in the third year of high school.

He looked towards the screen for the third year.

[First Place: Zhao Qingli, 750 points]

[Second Place: Lin Miaomiao, 695 points]

[Third Place: Wang Ziang, 670 points]

"Zhao Qingli, 750 points?" Jiang Ye was secretly shocked. "During the final exam, she had 710 points. She improved by 40 points in just one summer."

Don't just look at it as forty points.

The higher the score, the more difficult it is to improve.

The difficulty of going from 90 points to 100 points is far greater than going from 0 points to 10 points.

Zhao Qingli was already above 700 points, and to have this rate of progress was truly terrifying.

"Spending 100,000 yuan a month, the value is indeed very high," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

Besides Zhao Qingli, Lin Miaomiao and Wang Ziang also made considerable progress.

He then looked at the hundredth-ranked student in the grade.

"Hundredth place, 450 points?" Jiang Ye nodded slightly. This time, he might be able to enter the top 100 in the grade!

Half an hour later.

It was finally Class Nine's turn to be assessed.

It was still a System ranking, five people per group.

After entering the Virtual Starry Sky, Jiang Ye's group officially began the trial of hunting Shadow Clan members.

With Jiang Ye's current strength, he easily reached the third stage.

Facing five Shadow Clan Infant Bodies!

Last time, he had fallen at this very stage.

But now, Jiang Ye's strength was incomparable to what it was before. Having cultivated the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist, he could inflict considerable damage on the Shadow Clan.

"Die!"

Jiang Ye unleashed punch after punch, erupting like raindrops.

Accompanied by bursts of muffled thunder, one Shadow Clan member was completely shattered by him.

"Brother Jiang is so strong!"

"Amazing."

His four teammates were being suppressed while fighting one Shadow Clan member. Seeing Jiang Ye's mighty and unparalleled aura at this moment, they couldn't help but feel their blood boil.

One! Two! Three!

Soon, Jiang Ye eliminated all five Shadow Clan members in the third stage.

"Buzz!"

The moment the third stage ended, the surrounding space suddenly lit up with a red light.

It seemed to signify that a major hurdle was coming.

Chapter 4.

Ten pitch-black phantoms rose from the ground.

The leading phantom was over two meters tall.

This was also an Infant Body of the Shadow Clan, but it was more powerful than the other Infant Bodies, closer to a juvenile form!

This battle was undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Jiang Ye swung his fists, fighting with all his might against this group of Shadow Clan members.

But this time, he couldn't spare any attention for his four teammates. Soon, all four teammates died under the Shadow Clan's siege.

Jiang Ye fought ten Shadow Clan members alone!

He had already killed several small Shadow Clan members.

But the two-meter-tall Shadow Clan member was too powerful. Every blow made Jiang Ye's blood surge and his arms go numb.

"Roar!"

A roar sounded. This sound came from the two-meter-tall Shadow Clan member, its impact on the mind far stronger than that of the other Shadow Clan members.

Even Jiang Ye's Martial Arts will, which had been tempered for a long time, was affected.

The next moment, a group of Shadow Clan members swarmed him.

Undoubtedly, this attack was exceptionally fierce. Jiang Ye could barely evade it.

"Hmm?"

But in this desperate situation, Jiang Ye's will suddenly erupted. With what felt like a final, desperate blow, he slammed his fists forward.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two low thunderous sounds exploded in succession.

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned.

Boom!

The next moment, three Shadow Clan members were shattered by his punch on the spot.

Even the two-meter-tall Shadow Clan member had its shoulder shattered.

However, Jiang Ye's heart was also pierced by a Shadow Clan member, and his body slowly fell.

But a smile appeared on his face.

On Jiang Ye's status panel, the Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist had changed:

Eight Divisions Thunder Sound Fist: Untrained (99%) → Novice (1%)
