The Grand Examination Approaches, All the Nation Watches

One month until the college entrance exam.

The senior year curriculum has become much more relaxed, with more than half the time left to the students themselves.

This isn't to let the students slack off, but to give them time for independent development.

Students with the means can even skip classes to undergo intensive training at private martial arts gyms.

Students from average backgrounds can stay at school to sharpen their skills with the help of their teachers.

There are also those who have already given up; the school no longer strictly manages them, letting them come and go as they please.

Take Chen Yufei, for example. This guy barely shows up to school more than half the time, spending his days at home playing various virtual war games.

Regardless, he has only just reached the fourth stage of Martial Disciple. Even with intensive training, he couldn't possibly get into a martial arts university; getting into a comprehensive university would be a stroke of luck.

However, this close friend of Lu Chong still manages to carve out time every day to chat with Lu Chong and reminisce about high school life, mostly revolving around his history of unrequited love.

As for his dream girl, Xiang Yueya, Chen Yufei gave up on her long ago—or perhaps she was always just a figment of his imagination.

Aside from Chen Yufei, the only other classmate who contacts him from time to time is Lou Qingqing, who asks for advice on cultivation and academic subjects.

Other than that, Lu Chong rarely interacts with any other students and seldom attends classes, spending most of his time cultivating in Principal Wei's apartment.

It is worth mentioning that Xue Cheng from the Third High School made a special trip to find him and hand over the 500,000 Huaxia Coin.

This time, however, Xue Cheng learned his lesson and didn't propose another competition with Lu Chong during the college entrance exam, which left Lu Chong feeling slightly disappointed.

As for the military merits Xue Cheng lost to Lu Chong, most of them were exchanged for medicinal baths and nutritional supplements, enough to last until the exam.

Thus, Lu Chong has finally managed to save up a sum of 500,000, which he can keep in his pocket for the time being.

As for Zhao Longfei, he hasn't caused any trouble lately. The student seems to have vanished into thin air, not even coming to school for classes anymore.

This left Lu Chong without any opportunity to test him.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was June, and the atmosphere among the seniors grew increasingly tense.

It wasn't a tension born of study or cultivation, but a psychological one; most students had begun to fray at the edges.

It was also on June 4th that the official virtual platform finally opened personal accounts for every senior student.

This account holds great significance for the students; it is the first virtual platform account of their lives and will accompany them forever.

In other words, even after the college entrance exam, they can use this account to post their status, including photos, videos, and live streams, making it as ubiquitous as an ID card.

This isn't to promote influencers, but to give everyone a chance to be heard and to serve as a platform for creating personal value.

Name: Lu Chong Level: Martial Artist Third Stage (88%) Martial Skills-- Human-Grade Low-Tier: Nine-Shadow Step (Perfection)... Heart-Piercing Kick (Perfection) Human-Grade Mid-Tier: Seven-Step Killing Fist (Perfection), Three-Inch Palm (Perfection) Human-Grade Top-Tier: Tiger Roar Skill (Perfection) Earth-Grade Low-Tier: Wind Blade Leg (Microscopic 90%), Gale Shadowless Step (Microscopic 90%) Earth-Grade Mid-Tier: Golden Bell Shield (Microscopic 8%) ...

In the underground training room, Lu Chong woke from his meditation and looked at his stats, feeling quite satisfied.

"My cultivation will take another four or five days to break through again, which should be just in time for the practical exam."

Lu Chong's primary focus remained on his cultivation. Although he had spent a great deal of time actively practicing the Qi Absorbing Art recently, he was still slightly short of reaching the fourth stage.

There were also the Wind Blade Leg and Gale Shadowless Step, which were only a hair's breadth away from reaching Perfection.

"They should reach Perfection by the time of the practical exam."

"The Golden Bell Shield has barely reached the Microscopic level, and its cultivation speed is even slower. But it should be enough to handle the college entrance exam."

Lu Chong was full of confidence regarding the upcoming major exam, and he had only one goal: to be the provincial top scorer.

It wasn't that he didn't want to compete for the national top spot, but the conditions simply weren't there.

After all, Huaxia is too vast; it is impossible to unify the standards for candidates across thirty-four domestic and overseas base provinces.

Academic subjects and basic martial arts assessments might be standardized.

But when it comes to the major component—the practical exam—there is no way to place all the nation's candidates into a single Hunting Ground.

The conditions of the Hunting Grounds vary by province, and the competitive environments for the candidates differ, making unification impossible.

Therefore, the college entrance exam only recognizes provincial top scorers; there is no such thing as a national top scorer.

Want to dominate on a national scale? There will be plenty of opportunities once in university.

In literature, there is no first place; in martial arts, there is no second.

Once in university, there will be a platform for dominance and competition, and one can even set their sights on the entire Blue Star.

Lu Chong stopped his wandering thoughts and, with a touch of curiosity, opened the official virtual platform, which was called 'Huaxia Heroes'.

Lu Chong had previously watched some expert teaching and combat videos through this platform.

Now, he also had his own real-name personal account, and the words "this year's examinee" were marked behind the account.

"Huh? More than two hundred people are already following me?"

Lu Chong was a little surprised. Was his social circle really that wide?

He casually clicked on it, and the first thing he saw was a flashy avatar, which belonged to Chen Yufei, who had "Fight for the College Entrance Examination" written on his forehead.

Lu Chong ignored the flashy guy and continued to look.

Principal Wei, Principal Fang, Colonel Huang, the homeroom teacher, the seven instructors from the military special training, and more than a dozen squad leaders and hundreds of soldiers.

There was also Lou Qingqing and more than thirty classmates from Class 5.

Another familiar face was Xue Cheng from Third High School, with whom he had clashed a few times.

Besides these, Lu Chong also saw a few people who surprised him.

"Li Chengjun, Xiang Yueya, Huang Junyan, and even Zhao Longfei?"

Lu Chong was slightly stunned. Why were they following him?

However, Lu Chong didn't care. If they wanted to follow him, let them. If they could give him some rewards, he wouldn't refuse.

It was a platform transaction; everyone got what they wanted, and no one owed anyone anything.

Besides these recognizable people, there were twenty to thirty others whom Lu Chong didn't know at all and had no idea why they were following him.

However, a few of them looked familiar. He seemed to have seen them at a school assembly. They should be leaders from the Guanyun City Department of Education or something similar.

Many of them had also left him private messages, mostly wishing him good luck on the college entrance examination and success.

Lu Chong noticed that Xiang Yueya, the so-called campus belle with whom he had never had any direct interaction, was among them.

He casually set his following and follower settings to private. Lu Chong didn't reply to the private messages one by one, instead thinking, "This small number of people is not enough."

"Not to mention the whole country, just Hedong Province alone has a population of over 30 million, which is a huge potential market."

"If I can win over a group of people before the college entrance examination, I can earn more."
