Admission Standards

"Bro, do your best and get into a Martial University."

"I still want you to give me lots and lots of little cash."

Qin Xiaoxi clenched her tiny fists and cheered Qin Yan on.

"Alright."

Qin Yan walked into the examination hall.

The entire day on the 7th was devoted to the cultural subjects exam. Qin Yan had been studying those subjects seriously lately as well.

Scoring above 90 was impossible.

But getting above 70 was still well within his grasp.

The 8th.

The Blood Qi Test and Martial Arts Skill test were held.

Qin Yan was already thoroughly familiar with them, so there naturally would not be any issues.

The moment the last candidate walked out of the martial arts examination hall, it felt as though an era had quietly come to an end.

Twelve years of studying by the cold window, countless days and nights of sweat and struggle, all condensed into a set of fixed scores at this moment.

The dividing line of life had become clearly visible.

The Gaokao results were released four days after the exams.

The evening of June 13th.

Guanlan Residential Area, Qin Yan's home.

"Qin Yan! Hurry up! You're driving me crazy!"

Qin Xiaoxi circled around her brother as he leisurely entered his identity information, her little face full of anxiety and anticipation.

"What's the rush? The results aren't going anywhere."

Qin Yan remained calm. Only after carefully checking the information did he click the "Search" button.

The page refreshed. After the loading icon spun for several seconds, a clear score sheet appeared:

Name: Qin Yan

Blood Qi: 99 Cal

Spear Technique: 100 points

Cultural Subjects: 81 points

"99 Cal Blood Qi! A perfect 100 in Martial Arts Skill! And 81 in cultural subjects?!"

Qin Xiaoxi scanned the score sheet at a glance, and her huge eyes instantly widened as though they were about to pop out of their sockets.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then leaned closer to the screen and examined it several more times. Once she confirmed that the numbers had not changed, she cried out, "Oh my God! Qin Yan! You... y-you-you... how did you score this high?!"

The family knew Qin Yan's grades were excellent and that he had a chance of getting into a key Martial University, but none of them had expected his final scores to be this outrageously high!

This had completely surpassed the limits of their understanding!

"Can't help it. Your brother is a once-in-a-million Martial Dao genius."

Seeing his family's stunned expressions, Qin Yan smiled and explained with the excuse he had prepared long ago. "On top of that, I got lucky and received Director Wan's recognition and resource support, so I guess... I soared into the sky in one leap."

Father Qin and Mother Qin looked at the dazzling scores on the screen. Their hands trembled with excitement, and for a moment, they did not know what to say. They could only look at the results again and again, their eyes growing slightly warm.

"Bro! Doesn't that mean you can get into a Top Martial University?!"

Qin Xiaoxi was the first to recover from her shock. She excitedly grabbed Qin Yan's arm, her eyes seemingly sparkling with stars.

"Mm. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't be a problem." Qin Yan nodded.

Today was not only the day the scores were released. The major Martial Universities would also update their official websites and announce this year's admission standards.

Qin Yan opened Magic Capital Martial University's official website and searched for the relevant information.

Magic Capital Martial University 2025 Admission Standards:

Blood Qi: Above 90 Cal (including 90 Cal)

Martial Arts Skill: 90 points (including 90 points)

Cultural Subjects: Above 70 Cal

Note 1: Those with 99 Cal Blood Qi or 100 points in Martial Arts Skill may receive appropriately lowered admission standards for other subjects and may be admitted at discretion.

Note 2: Admissions are selected by merit according to the priority of Blood Qi, Martial Arts Skill, and cultural subjects scores.

Magic Capital Martial University's admission standards were exactly the same as last year's.

In fact, it was not just Magic Capital Martial University. Many Martial Universities had standards like this.

That was why each Martial University's admission standards from the previous year could serve as a reference for the current year.

Qin Yan took a look. With his scores, he could safely get into Magic Capital Martial University.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan recalled Capital Martial University.

No sooner thought than done. Qin Yan opened Capital Martial University's admission standards as well.

Capital Martial University 2025 Admission Standards:

Blood Qi: Above 91 Cal (including 91 Cal)

Martial Arts Skill: 92 points (including 92 points)

Cultural Subjects: Above 70 Cal

Note 1: Those with 99 Cal Blood Qi or 100 points in Martial Arts Skill may receive appropriately lowered admission standards for other subjects and may be admitted at discretion.

Note 2: Admissions are selected by merit according to the priority of Blood Qi, Martial Arts Skill, and cultural subjects scores.

"Huh? Capital Martial University's standards..." Qin Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. "The Blood Qi requirement is one Cal higher than Magic Capital Martial University's, and the Martial Arts Skill requirement is two points higher?"

He suddenly remembered seeing a brief news report about three months ago—Magic Capital Martial University had suffered a crushing defeat against Capital Martial University in their Exchange Tournament.

Could that be why? Qin Yan secretly guessed.

His information channels were still far too limited. He knew very little about the open and covert struggles, as well as the shifting strengths, among the top academies.

"Bro! You're incredible!"

Qin Xiaoxi's cheer interrupted his thoughts. "A Top Martial University! Linhai City hasn't had a student get into a Top Martial University in so, so many years! Before long, you'll be a celebrity! And I'll be a celebrity's little sister! Hahaha!"

Watching their excited daughter and composed son, the parents' faces were filled with proud, happy smiles as well.

That night, the Qin Family was filled with laughter and joy.

The next day, the Principal's office.

Ever since Qin Yan had displayed top-tier potential, this place had practically become his and Director Wan's regular haunt.

Fucking hell, Principal Wu Ming thought.

But today, the smile on his face was sincerely radiant.

That was because Qin Yan had brought definite, astonishingly good news—99 Cal Blood Qi and a perfect score in Martial Arts Skill!

Wan Xueping and Wu Ming looked at those flawless scores and were beside themselves with joy!

Although they had expected it, it was only now, when everything had been settled, that their hanging hearts finally returned to their stomachs.

Wan Xueping seemed to already see himself using this weighty accomplishment to defeat his rival from the neighboring city in the promotion race and enter the provincial level's core of power! His political career was bright indeed!

Wu Ming was equally overjoyed.

First High School had produced a freshman admitted to a Top Martial University. This honor would turn into a very real tilt in educational resource allocation!

Over the next several years, perhaps even the next decade or more, First High School's student intake and quality would rise to an entirely new level!

"Xiaoyan, excellent! You're even more outstanding than I imagined!"

Wan Xueping spared no praise. "I thought you would only barely clear the line, but I never expected you to achieve such brilliant results! With these scores, even among this year's candidates nationwide, you absolutely belong in the very top tier!"

The very top tier? Qin Yan was slightly shaken.

Scores close to perfect were only considered the 'top tier'?
