The End! A Brand-New Future!

Killing a First-Order High-Level Ferocious Beast earned 100 points.

Killing a Second-Order Ferocious Beast earned 4,000 points!

In the Innermost Core Area, all thirty-four First-Order High-Rank Ferocious Beasts, along with one Second-Order Low-Level Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear, had been killed by Xu Jingming.

He had earned a total of 7,400 points!

Adding Xu Jingming's original three thousand-plus points, it was no surprise that he had accumulated over ten thousand points.

But on the rankings, having nearly ten times the score of second place was downright outrageous!

There's still over an hour before the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination ends. I've already wiped out all the ferocious beasts in the Core Area and Innermost Core Area.

Next, I'll head back to the Central Area. Every extra kill counts.

After glancing at the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear in the distance, which had completely lost its life force, Xu Jingming did not stop moving.

He casually slung the nearly ruined Black Obsidian Spear across his back and set off once more toward the Central Area.

Meanwhile, Zhou Mingyang and the others on the rooftop were still stunned by Xu Jingming's performance.

"The Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear... died just like that?"

Zhou Mingyang swallowed with difficulty.

From the start of the battle to the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear being pierced to death with one strike, less than two minutes had passed.

One had to know that even elite metahumans needed more than half an hour of maneuvering to kill a Second-Order Ferocious Beast with such tenacious vitality!

"Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying!"

The bald student stared in shock at the score on his Smart Watch. "Xu Jingming's score has already surpassed ten thousand points!"

"Over ten thousand points?"

Zhou Mingyang's eyes widened as he blurted out, "I remember that last year's Jiangnan Provincial Top Scorer only had a little over eight thousand points, right?

"With Xu Jingming's ten thousand-plus points, could he become Jiangnan Province's Provincial Top Scorer?!"

"Provincial Top Scorer? Damn, is he really that terrifying?"

The people nearby immediately sucked in cold breaths.

At that moment, Meng Di's voice suddenly rang out. "Look! Xu Jingming is leaving. Judging by the direction he's going, he seems to be heading for the Central Area!"

"The Central Area? As expected of a Provincial Top Scorer. He's already killed a Second-Order Ferocious Beast, yet he still isn't relaxing and is rushing toward the Central Area."

The bald student clicked his tongue in amazement. Zhou Mingyang also came to his senses and slapped his thigh. "Damn it! I don't know whether Xu Jingming will become the Provincial Top Scorer.

"But I do know that if we don't hurry to the Central Area now, we might not even get a single point in the last hour or so!"

"Yeah! Damn, with Xu Jingming's speed, won't he wipe out all the ferocious beasts in the Central Area too?"

"Quick! Let's go!"

"Hehe, in that case, I, Zhou Mingyang, will be taking my leave first."

The group immediately reacted. They had no time to think further and hurried downstairs with their weapons.

No longer needing his teammates, Zhou Mingyang controlled his Wind-Type Ability and was the fastest of them all.

On the open ground outside the examination site.

While the principals and teachers were awestruck by the terrifying power of Xu Jingming's ability, they also watched his every move nervously.

A Second-Order Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear was something even these principals would have avoided at the peak of their own strength.

Yet now, this terrifying ferocious beast was being toyed with by Xu Jingming as if it were a child's plaything.

He easily dodged the tyrant bear's pouncing attack and crippled both its legs with two spear thrusts.

His Lightning Ability bombarded it without pause, leaving it paralyzed and unable to move.

His spear struck wildly, instantly inflicting grave injuries on the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear.

Finally, a Spear-Type Thunder Battle Technique pierced through its heart and completed the kill!

The entire sequence flowed smoothly and seamlessly.

By the time the Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear crashed to the ground, the entire venue had fallen deathly silent.

No one had expected that a Second-Order Bloodthirsty Tyrant Bear, which even prodigies from provincial capital cities found troublesome, would die just like that!

Even after the rankings refreshed and Xu Jingming's score reached ten thousand points, the director and the many principals and teachers had yet to recover.

"Ten thousand points! A record has been broken! A record has been broken!"

At that moment, a teacher from Second High School shouted excitedly.

Prompted by that cry, the principals and teachers in the stands finally came back to their senses, erupting into deafening exclamations of shock.

"Ten thousand points! He hasn't just broken Jiangcheng's record, he's broken Jiangnan Province's record too!"

"A genius! An absolute genius!"

"Heaven's Blessing upon Jiangcheng! This year's Provincial Top Scorer will fall into our hands!"

"..."

At this moment, the principals and teachers from all three high schools were cheering wildly without regard for their image.

Previously, because Xu Jingming was a student of Second High School, the other two schools might have felt some resentment.

But now, everything was different!

Xu Jingming, who was highly likely to become the Provincial Top Scorer, no longer represented only Second High School. He represented the entire city of Jiangcheng!!

"Beautifully done!!"

Principal Zhao Yao could not help rising to his feet, pumping his fist in excitement!!

Normally calm and composed, he had no idea how many times he had lost his composure today.

But in the face of such an enormous surprise, whether he lost his composure no longer mattered.

With this score, Xu Jingming was practically guaranteed a place in the running for Provincial Top Scorer!

At worst, he would rank among Jiangnan Province's top three!

One had to know that in over a hundred years since Jiang City Second High School was founded, its best result had only been sixty-fourth place in Jiangnan Province!

And now, what generations of principals had failed to accomplish had been achieved by him!!

How could he not feel excited and honored?!

"Ah, such an outstanding student. Why wasn't he assigned to our Rocket Class back then?!"

In the Second High School stands, the Rocket Class homeroom teacher was immensely excited, yet equally frustrated.

If he had pulled Xu Jingming into their class back then, how glorious would he be now?

"Good, good, good! Xu Jingming, well done!"

One of his own students might actually contend for Provincial Top Scorer!

At the thought, Class 5's homeroom teacher, Chen Fan, felt as if he were dreaming.

But the pain from pinching himself told him that everything was real!

That sent his excitement soaring to the extreme!

"Damn, Class 5 has someone like this? He's insanely fierce!"

"Didn't expect it, did you? Neither did I."

"Ten thousand points! I only got 102 damn points. That's a hundredfold gap!"

"..."

As the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination entered its later stages, many candidates who had been eliminated early after activating their safety spheres had also returned to the open ground.

Looking at Xu Jingming's terrifying score, they could not help sinking into immense shock.

"Ten thousand points! Senior did it!"

"He's too strong! With a score like this, getting into a Top Metahuman University should be easy, right?"

"Hehe, more than that! Now those Elite Universities will be begging Senior to enroll!"

"I hereby declare that from today onward, Senior Xu Jingming is my idol!"

"..."

At Second High School's athletic field, first-year and second-year students, along with the teachers, had also erupted in excitement.

Most of the students regarded Xu Jingming as an idol and role model, their young faces flushed red with excitement.

An hour passed quickly, and soon it was exactly nine o'clock!

At that moment, the Smart Watches of the students still inside the Ruined Town examination site automatically displayed a red warning screen.

At the same time, an automated voice announcement followed:

"Attention: the Jiangcheng 2037th Martial Arts College Entrance Examination has ended. Killing ferocious beasts will no longer count toward your score. Please return as soon as possible."

"Attention: the Jiangcheng 2037th Martial Arts College Entrance Examination has ended. Killing ferocious beasts will no longer count toward your score. Please return as soon as possible."

"..."

The notification played three times before finally ending.

Inside the examination site, all the candidates who received the notification began making their way back, some reflective, some regretful, carrying all kinds of emotions.

The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination is over...

Xu Jingming pulled his spear from the corpse of a ferocious beast, feeling somewhat regretful. What a pity. There won't be another chance like this to harvest Ability Points so freely.

Then Xu Jingming carried his spear and headed back!

The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination had ended. Waiting for him was a brand-new future!
