Chapter 170: Chapter 171 - Starting with Soul Land, One Trial Card a Day

Lu Xuan's current university is a top-tier university ranked ninety-second.

Although this school is at the bottom of the list of top-tier universities, it is still a very famous university in the world.

The top 30 universities in the Great Han Empire are the same as the top 30 universities in the world. More than 80 of the world's top 100 universities are located in the Great Han Empire.

So, don't be fooled by its current ranking of 92nd; in its previous life, that was equivalent to a top-tier 985 university.

In fact, college graduates are highly sought after in this world, even those from third-rate universities.

The main reason is that there are too few imperial universities, and the number of students they can enroll is limited. In addition, the population is too large, so anyone who can go to university is the elite of the elite.

According to statistics, only about 2 million out of nearly 30 million students can go to university each year. Among them, nobles account for about 0.5%, which means that nearly 10,000 people have direct noble blood.

Direct bloodline, namely grandparents, parents, and siblings, includes one person with an aristocratic title; other uncles, maternal uncles, etc., are not counted.

Keep in mind that there are only a little over 30,000 registered nobles in the entire empire! Even if you include the God royal family, the total wouldn't exceed 70,000.

Basically, there are only about 10,000 candidates with direct noble bloodlines each year, and the admission rate is as high as 80%.

This world also practices nine-year compulsory education, and about half of the students are eliminated in high school. Moreover, those eliminated are all commoners, because noble bloodlines are subject to twelve-year compulsory education.

This means that the direct relatives of nobles had nearly an 80% chance of attending university from birth, while ordinary people only had about a 2%-3% chance.

One reason for this is the extra points awarded in the college entrance examination, and the other is that aristocratic relatives enjoy the best resources from birth to adulthood, giving them a head start from the very beginning. This is actually the main reason.

Bonus points for college entrance exams are a secondary reason. A baron's direct relatives get a maximum of 10 points, a viscount a maximum of 20 points, Earl 50 points, a marquis 80 points, and a duke 120 points.

Direct members of the royal family and the Imperial Family are exempt from examinations and can directly enter the system.

There are only a little over three hundred people holding the rank of Earl or higher in the Empire. Of the more than 30,000 nobles in the Empire, about 20,000 are third-class barons.

Moreover, half of them bought their titles, with a clear price tag of one billion Han Currency.

The purchasing power of Han Currency is still very strong in this world; one Han Currency is roughly equivalent to five or six yuan in the previous life.

That would have been worth about five or six billion in my previous life!

If the Great Han Empire of this world weren't so powerful, it probably wouldn't be able to gather so many billionaires.

What Lu Xuan wanted to say was that the total score for the college entrance examination was 750. The cutoff score for his university was always above 600. Lu Xuan accidentally saw the admission scores of all the students in his class. One of them had a score of only 400. Even if he added 120 to his score, he was still far from the cutoff score.

There is only one answer: Imperial law stipulates that only direct descendants of the royal family and Imperial Family can freely choose which university to attend, even if they fail the exam.

A princess had unexpectedly arrived at the school, and she was even in his class! If it weren't for that accident, Lu Xuan would have thought that the highest rank among the noble children in the school was Earl!

However, what puzzled Lu Xuan even more was why they chose a university ranked 92nd instead of one of the top 30.

Moreover, this princess doesn't live in an apartment building; instead, she shares a dormitory with ordinary people.

Is this sharing the suffering of the people?

If Lu Xuan hadn't accidentally learned of her college entrance exam results, he would never have believed it was true.

Moreover, in the days that followed, Lu Xuan, with his extremely high Mental Attribute, did indeed discover her unusual behavior. He noticed that she was being followed when she went out and was warned when he secretly investigated her.

She found it amusing and bluntly stated: If you don't like yourself, please stop asking people for information about you.

He thought he wanted to pursue her.

After confirming her identity, Lu Xuan didn't pay much attention to her anymore, only maintaining some contact—more than classmates, but not quite friends.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself." Lu Xuan needs to enter the aristocratic class in the future, and he will mainly have to rely on himself. However, this can be considered a path, and maintaining certain relationships will not do him any harm.

Back to reality.

Fortunately, she wasn't in the process of turning into a zombie.

After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Xuan made his decision: save them!

It's not just about saving her, but about saving everyone possible.

Lu Xuan never considered himself a saint, but he also didn't think he was heartless enough to watch so many familiar faces die.

"Drink"

Lu Xuan first used immense force to kick the row of seats by the back door until they were broken apart, and then used these things to block the back door.

Seeing Lu Xuan's unusual behavior, the teacher exclaimed in surprise, "Young man, what are you doing? Do you really want to be punished by the school?"

Several classmates nearby whispered, "Hey, Lu Xuan, what are you doing? Stop it!"

Lu Xuan shouted in a hoarse voice: Shut up.

Everyone was startled.

After quickly blocking the back door, Lu Xuan rushed to the front of the podium. The teacher was startled to see Lu Xuan running towards him.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Without a word, Lu Xuan slammed his foot on the podium. Under the immense pressure, the screws securing the podium shattered on the spot.

Lu Xuan quickly pushed the podium, temporarily blocking the front door as well.

Soon, whispers began to circulate, "Is he trying to trap us here?"

Seeing Lu Xuan's strange behavior, many people finally realized what was going on, and the dozen or so tall and strong students in the classroom decided to subdue Lu Xuan first.

The Great Han Empire had a strong martial spirit. In the college entrance examination, which was out of 750 points, physical education accounted for 100 points. Moreover, their physical education was not just about running and long jump, but also included military skills and combat.

They knew they couldn't beat Lu Xuan in a one-on-one fight, after all, Lu Xuan was now a top player on the national team, but with so many of them together, it was definitely not a problem.

Only a dozen seconds had passed, and some people's progress bars had already exceeded fifty.

There was no way to explain it, no time to explain it, and Lu Xuan had no intention of explaining it anyway; they would naturally understand in a few minutes.

There were only a dozen or so people. Even if the entire classroom of 140 or 150 people attacked at once, Lu Xuan could take them all down.

This is the confidence that Lu Xuan gained from having 25 in all attributes. With a five-fold difference in physical fitness, Lu Gen ignore all attacks without firearms.

But he didn't have time to get entangled with them. Lu Xuan took the initiative, grabbed one of them with a number above his head without even looking at who it was, and slammed him into the corner at the front of the classroom.

They only wanted to capture Lu Xuan, but they didn't expect that several of them would be taken down in just a few moves. If they weren't afraid of killing them all, Lu Xuan could have taken them all down in three seconds at most.

In about ten seconds, everyone who tried to subdue Lu Xuan fell down. Several people were even kicked against the wall by him. Some had bulging eyes, and some had their necks bent to an eerie degree. It seemed they were doomed.

Everyone in the classroom was shocked!

Murder!

At this moment, some people were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, while others screamed at the top of their lungs.

Lu Xuan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Quiet!"

As for those who were still shouting, Lu Xuan didn't bother to argue and immediately slapped them twice across the face.

After a few more seconds, everyone finally quieted down, and at that moment, everyone was stunned by Lu Xuan.

At this moment, the progress bar has reached a maximum of 70, and the average is also in the top 50.

Lu Xuan: "You, you, go to the front, you, go to the front, you, you, you, go to the back."

Lu Xuan began to divide the people into groups: those with progress bars above their heads went to the front, and those without went to the back.

"You, stop standing there and go to the back."

"Get to the front and sit where I say, or I'll kill you."

Lu Xuan then tossed another one with a progress bar on its head in front of him.

Those who were stunned by Lu Xuan and didn't move at all were either thrown forward by Lu Xuan himself, regardless of whether they lived or died, or were dragged backward by Lu Xuan.

"You're such an unlucky guy."

Lu Xuan was speaking to a girl who was so scared she couldn't move. He didn't know if she was unlucky or lucky, but out of the dozen or so people around her, she was the only one who wouldn't turn into a zombie; the rest of them were all stuck on progress bars.

"Bang~"

"Don't you dare move, or I'll kill you."

Lu Xuan casually picked up a book and headed towards the back door. Someone was trying to clear the back door he had blocked, probably hoping to escape through it.

Some of the people Lu Xuan assigned to the front wanted to move the podium to open the front door.

Lu Xuan showed them no mercy, treating them with ruthless abandon. He grabbed someone who was about to turn into a zombie and smashed them against them, not caring whether they lived or died.

'The speed seems to be increasing?'

Lu Xuan noticed that the progress bar above his head was increasing at an increasingly rapid pace.

Previously, it increased by 1% every two or three seconds on average, but now it increases by 1% every second.

The fastest progress bar is already close to 90%. The average is already in the 70s. There's no time left.

The classroom originally housed over 150 students from three classes, but several students are absent each day for various reasons, so the current attendance is around 140.

Thanks to Lu Xuan's efforts, more than 80 of the 140-plus people have been separated, but more than 60 are still not separated. However, Lu Xuan has no time to deal with them. In at most ten seconds, some of them will turn into zombies. Lu Xuan now needs to set up a simple battlefield.

These large university classrooms are typically tiered, with two large aisles that divide the students into three groups.

Lu Xuan originally planned to throw all the zombies in front and the normal people in the back, then block one of the passageways, leaving only one passageway for Lu Xuan to guard alone.

With Lu Xuan's strength, he could hold off ten thousand men single-handedly.

After all, zombies are mindless. Normal people can easily climb over the chairs, but zombies can't. They most likely don't understand and will only follow the route set by Lu Xuan.

But plans can't always keep up with changes, and Lu Xuan had to start making arrangements before he had even finished assigning people.
