Gene Aptitude Test

Jincheng, Ninth High School, Class 7, Senior Year 3.

Although the college entrance examination had ended and all the students knew their scores, at this moment, they all looked expectantly at their homeroom teacher, Yu Zeping, with a hint of nervousness.

Because what their homeroom teacher, Yu Zeping, was about to announce would largely determine their future.

The sunlight streaming through the window cast a golden hue and shadows on their tense, youthful faces.

"Following the joint announcement from the Gene Committee of the Huaya Region, Blue Star Alliance, the Huaxia Gene Committee, and the Huaxia Ministry of Education."

As soon as homeroom teacher Yu Zeping uttered the names of these three official institutions, all 46 students in Class 7, Senior Year 3, involuntarily straightened their bodies and assumed a listening posture.

Many students intertwined their fingers, even holding their breath.

Because the content to be announced next was even more important than the national college entrance examination a hundred years ago, which was known as a single exam to determine one's entire life.

It could be called a single exam to determine one's future!

"The 2137 college entrance examination Dual Gene Excellence Line is 597 points, the First Gene Excellence Line is 483 points, and the Gene Admission Line is 395 points."

The three score lines were read out by homeroom teacher Yu Zeping, quickly and clearly, as usual.

But they landed like three thunderclaps from a clear sky, turning many students' faces ashen and instantly draining the color from them.

They also caused many students to heave a sigh of relief, their faces showing relaxation.

However, about seven or eight students sat there stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"This 395 points?"

"Why did this year's Gene Admission Line increase by 22 points all of a sudden compared to last year?"

"I... I'm just one point short!"

One male student tried hard to purse his lips, but in the end, he couldn't control his emotions and burst into tears at his desk!

This caused several other students who had not reached the Gene Admission Line to sob as well.

One Gene Admission Line, and their future was set!

Listening to the cries of a few students, Xu Tui felt a pang of sadness. He wanted to comfort the sobbing students behind him but didn't know how to start.

He also felt a sense of lingering fear.

A score line, just three numbers, and at this moment, it basically determined the future lives of nine students!

According to what their homeroom teacher, Yu Zeping, had said to pressure them before the exam, if you couldn't pass the Gene Admission Line, you had no hope in life except to just survive!

But now, in this brief moment, Xu Tui suddenly felt that what their old teacher had said was far less cruel than this reality!

On the podium, old teacher Yu Zeping quietly looked at the students who were crying because they hadn't passed the Gene Admission Line, his lips tightly pressed together, his throat feeling a bit choked!

This was not the first time he had taught a graduating class. He had gone through the same experience six times before.

But each time, his heart felt indescribably heavy.

The consequences of not reaching the Gene Admission Line were too much for these eighteen-year-old youths to bear!

Subconsciously, Yu Zeping looked out the window, his gaze piercing through the void—damn invaders!

If it weren't for those cosmic invaders, this Gene Admission Line wouldn't be so cruel.

Time would heal all wounds!

The crying and sobbing in the classroom gradually subsided within fifteen minutes.

Homeroom teacher Yu Zeping took a deep breath, "Students who did not reach the Gene Admission Line, there's no need to be discouraged.

All roads lead to Rome. If you work hard in the future, it's still very possible to obtain a bottle of E-grade or D-grade Gene Liberation Potion.

On the path of gene evolution, anything is possible. There are precedents for this, so I won't say more."

This was the extent of his comfort.

"Alright, next, students who did not reach the Gene Admission Line, please report to the Vocational Education Department to determine your next learning direction as soon as possible.

Other students, please gather at Training Ground No. 4 within 15 minutes!"

At this moment, old teacher Yu Zeping's gaze became extremely sharp. "Your Gene Aptitude Test has just begun!"

At Training Ground No. 4, after brief goodbyes, the remaining 37 students of Class 7, Senior Year 3, including Xu Tui, had all arrived.

They gathered in small groups of two or three, discussing their scores, with anticipation and a touch of worry.

"I got 471 points, still haven't reached the First Excellence Line."

"I got 534 points, just passed the First Excellence Line. I just don't know how many Gene Points I'll be able to activate."

"I got 603 points. Little Leg, what did you get?" Cheng Mo suddenly asked.

"Old Cheng, you should call me Big Leg," Xu Tui said.

"Why?"

"Because I'm one point higher than you."

"Just one point higher?"

"A point higher is still a Big Leg, man!"

Suddenly, a loud slap landed on the back of Xu Tui's head. Xu Tui's eyes widened, and he was about to get angry.

"Damn it, who. Huh? The old homeroom teacher is here!" Xu Tui's face instantly transformed from anger to a smile.

A smug smile.

Homeroom teacher Yu Zeping ignored Xu Tui's smug grin and walked through the crowd, heading straight for the podium.

"Some students scored high, and I understand their triumphant mood.

But I want to tell them that getting a high score on the college entrance exam is merely obtaining the admission ticket for the Gene Aptitude Test.

Whether you can get into a good Gene University, whether you can strengthen or even evolve your own genes, become a Gene Warrior, and become a Cosmic Expert, still depends on your own efforts!"

Homeroom teacher Yu Zeping said this while looking towards Xu Tui.

Xu Tui, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, chuckled sheepishly.

On the podium, as homeroom teacher Yu Zeping's gaze shifted away from Xu Tui, he roared at the students of Class 7, Senior Year 3.

"Now, training continues!

Triple the daily training volume!

According to regulations, physical punishment authority and intensity are fully open!"

A thin whip was flicked from the broad-shouldered, stout homeroom teacher Yu Zeping's hand, cracking loudly.

A group of students who normally feared nothing, including Xu Tui, showed deep fear on their faces.

When homeroom teacher Yu Zeping had only opened fifty percent of the physical punishment authority and intensity in the past, it had already made them wail like ghosts.

How agonizing would the fully open physical punishment authority and intensity be?

No one wanted to try it!

The next moment, Xu Tui darted out like a rabbit.

The first item, a five-kilometer run.

Wrong!

Five kilometers was the daily training volume. Now, with triple the training volume, it was fifteen kilometers, 15 km!

No one complained.

And no one was confused.

Firstly, all the students present understood why this was happening.

Secondly, over the past three years, under the torment of their homeroom teacher Yu Zeping, a physical education teacher, they had long since adapted.

That's right, their homeroom teacher Yu Zeping was a physical education teacher.

Currently, all high school homeroom teachers were physical education teachers!

Also called Physical Training Directors!

Daily training.

This meant training that had to be done every day.

Such training had been ongoing for three years.

Yes, including the whip.

The slender whip tip landed on Xu Tui's butt with steady, accurate, and fierce precision.

"If you've got the guts, score higher on physical training too!"

Xu Tui's butt under his school uniform rapidly bulged, and he let out a yelp.

"Today's training objective is to push you to your limits, in order to maximize the effectiveness of your gene potion!"

The slender whip tip whistled through the air in homeroom teacher Yu Zeping's hand, its sound striking the ears of Xu Tui and his classmates like thunder, causing them to involuntarily accelerate significantly!

Many students now spread their legs, increasing their stride, easily overtaking Xu Tui and the others, becoming the leaders!

Xu Tui also greatly increased his speed, but he tried his best to maintain a steady pace, diligently adjusting his breathing!

This was a fifteen-kilometer long-distance run, not a five-kilometer run that could be gotten through with a little effort!

Afterward, there would be eighty push-ups, fifty burpees, eighty frog jumps, ten sets of interval running, fifty pull-ups, a three-hundred-meter obstacle course, ten minutes of limb flexibility training, and ten minutes of neural reflex training.

Yes, triple the amount!

In this era, students with physical education teachers as homeroom teachers had long since adapted to this intensity of training.

But with the training volume suddenly tripled, under the threat of the old homeroom teacher's slender whip, they were quickly exhausted.

When the old homeroom teacher uttered the words "Rest and hydrate," they all collapsed on the ground like dead dogs.

Gulping down the Energy Water, which had a peculiar taste and was prepared by the school doctor, they lay on the ground, panting heavily like dead dogs.

"Who's going to get water?"

Xu Tui staggered to his feet, the soreness in his thigh muscles making his walk a limp.

Cheng Mo, seeing this, quickly got up, hopping and limping as he lunged forward to grab Xu Tui's neck. He leaned half his weight onto Xu Tui, who was already gritting his teeth in pain, and chuckled.

However, before Cheng Mo could finish laughing, he let out a yelp himself.

Tang Ting, weighing a hundred kilograms, followed suit and latched onto Cheng Mo.

One after another, screams and laughter merged into a cacophony.

Under the sunlight, a group of teenagers, gritting their teeth, slung their arms around each other and disappeared into the restroom.

Watching a certain retreating figure, Old Instructor Yu Zeping narrowed his eyes.

After a satisfying urination, just as he was about to leave, Tang Ting, who was in the hundred-kilogram weight class, stopped.

"Brothers, come, come, let's relax and refresh ourselves!"

Tang Ting passed them around, tossing one to Xu Tui, then, as if by magic, pulled something out from a gap in the restroom wall.

Inside the restroom, eight boys had gathered, when suddenly, a burly figure strode into the room.

The whole bunch of them were quick-witted.

Almost as soon as they heard the first warning, they tossed what they were holding into the toilet bowl. Cheng Mo, without a second thought, stepped on the flush pedal.

Xu Tui, who had just taken a mouthful, was annoyed, but it was half a step too late.

With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and swallowed everything he had just taken in, clamping his mouth shut tightly!

"Such a strong smell, what were you all doing?" Old Instructor Yu Zeping demanded.

"Relieving ourselves!"

"Teacher, we were relieving ourselves!"

"Yeah, and we also let out a few farts!"

Cheng Mo added, earning himself a hateful glare.

Old Instructor Yu Zeping stared at Cheng Mo, his gaze finally settling on Xu Tui, who had his mouth shut tight. "Xu Tui, what about you?"

Xu Tui remained silent with his mouth closed!

The old instructor's thin whip rose, cracking in the air.

"Answer me!"

Under the threat of the whip, Xu Tui had no choice!

"I was angry!"

Three wisps of white smoke puffed out from Xu Tui's mouth and nose as he opened it.

This was from what he had swallowed earlier.

The group of rascals immediately burst into laughter at the sight.

Old Instructor Yu Zeping's palm landed heavily on the back of Xu Tui's head.

"Angry?

Look at you, so capable!

You can even breathe out smoke when you're angry?

Why don't you just ascend to immortality?"

"Go, add half a portion to your daily training!"

Xu Tui's expression immediately turned one of wishing he were dead, while Tang Ting, Cheng Mo, and the others grinned and snickered.

"You all too!"

Old Instructor Yu Zeping added, instantly turning Tang Ting and Cheng Mo's smiles into wails!

"Old Instructor, your eyes are like torches!"

Xu Tui, running out of the restroom, beamed and gave Old Instructor Yu Zeping a thumbs-up!

In the afterglow of the sunset, a group of boys, drenched in sweat, left the training ground arm in arm, heading home.

In their ears, the roar of Old Instructor Yu Zeping, the Physical Training Director, still echoed.

"For the next few days, you will all behave yourselves!

Anyone who dares to touch those trash items again and affect the effectiveness of the gene potion, my whip will make them cry for their mothers!"

"Go back and supplement with plenty of protein, and focus on muscle recovery."

"When you come tomorrow, bring your electronic identification, the parental consent form for accidental liability, and your insurance policy."
