CHAPTER 52: 52 CHAPTER: NATIONAL EVOLUTION COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM! START PREPARING FROM THIS MOMENT!_1

At 9 p.m., inside the Su Family house.

Like always, Su Yan was training alone in the living room, silently engaged in high-intensity exercise.

He was constantly thinking of ways to improve his Qi and Blood Value, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

As for his three adopted sisters:

The eldest, Su Yike, was studying intensely in her room, incredibly hardworking.

The second sister, Su Erke, was sitting on the couch, binge-watching dramas with occasional silly, lovestruck laughter.

And the third sister, Little Beans, was sound asleep in her room, not intending to wake up until the sun shone on her buttocks the next day.

The four siblings of the Su family essentially maintained this unwritten routine: the younger they were, the more unreliable they became, one weaker than the next.

As time continued to slip away, several more minutes quickly passed.

By this time, Su Yan was exhausted, drenched in sweat from head to toe.

He had one last set of push-ups left before he could complete the task he had set for himself today.

"995!"

"996!"

"997!"

.

9... Ah, I can’t do it anymore!

When he reached the 997th push-up, Su Yan’s arms were so sore they could no longer support him.

His arms bent, and his whole body instantly collapsed, lying face down on the floor.

Doing 997 push-ups with 100kg extra weight was already his limit.

If he had continued to force himself, his body would probably have broken down, a loss far outweighing any gain.

It seems my body still has a lot of room for improvement...

As Su Yan was thinking this, the phone lying next to him suddenly began to vibrate fiercely.

Picking up the phone and unlocking the screen, Su Yan saw that his homeroom teacher had tagged the entire class in the group chat and then sent an announcement.

The content of the announcement was roughly:

Due to a major incident involving Demons and Monsters at Luo City Number One High School this morning, the school was ordered by the Education Bureau in the afternoon to suspend classes for reorganization.

The school would not resume classes until the safety issues on campus were guaranteed.

The students of Luo City Number One High School were temporarily placed in several nearby schools to attend classes.

Su Yan continued to read; the announcement also included content about punishments and disciplinary actions.

Basis for Punishment: Demons and Monsters incident

Recipients of Punishment: Headmaster Huang Sichong of Luo City Number One High School, Vice Principal Wang Yunfeng, Dean Lan Zhixun, among other school leaders

Outcome of Punishment: One severe warning, one disciplinary note, suspension from office and salary for one week for reflection.

Upon seeing this, Su Yan couldn’t help but laugh, feeling immensely satisfied.

However, the more satisfying part was yet to come.

Basis for Punishment: Wanton spreading of rumors

Recipients of Punishment: Lin Xiaoxiao from Senior Class 1, Chen Xiuwen from Senior Class 2.

Outcome of Punishment: Each noted with a major demerit, which will remain as a permanent blemish on their academic record.

That’s really harsh...

But it feels so good to see!

After seeing the two girls’ punishment, Su Yan could almost feel their bitterness through the screen. At the same time, he felt a lot better.

One could say that with such a stain on their academic records, their future path to evolution would be fraught with difficulty, at least making their further education much harder.

Many schools don’t accept students with such stains on their records, unless the student’s performance is exceptional, which might lead to special admission.

Time passed quickly.

Suddenly, it was 10 p.m.

At this moment, Su Yan was lying lazily on his bed, with three books laid out in front of him.

They were:

"Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Evolution of Basic Knowledge"

"Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Species"

"Evolution from Novice to Death"

The first two were evolutionary theory textbooks officially compiled by the Municipal Education Bureau, corresponding directly to the written assessment of the national Evolution College Entrance Examination.

The last one, however, was a highly praised compilation of study notes by top students in evolutionary science.

Even though the title seemed odd, the content covered all the difficult and important points of the Evolution College Entrance Examination’s written assessment.

At this stage, Su Yan was relatively weak regarding evolutionary theory knowledge.

Therefore, after completing his daily exercise routine, he would set aside two hours before bed to diligently study this area.

The three books in front of him were newly purchased.

Glancing briefly at the covers, Su Yan planned to start with "Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Evolution of Basic Knowledge".

As for the remaining two, he would find time to study them later.

All in all, in the less than a month remaining before the Evolution College Entrance Examination, I must enhance my evolutionary theory knowledge as much as possible to cope with the first subject of the examination—the written assessment.

Picking up "Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Evolution of Basic Knowledge," he turned to the first page. Uh, the entire page was filled with dedications from top students. Too lazy to read them, he skipped it.

He flipped to the second page. Uh, it was crammed with esoteric and difficult theories. It gave him such a headache that he skipped it.

He flipped to the third page. Uh, it was filled with complex biological diagrams. It made his scalp tingle, so he skipped it.

And so, he flipped through the pages one by one.

Very quickly, Su Yan’s expression crumbled, and his spirit along with it.

Where is the so-called basic evolutionary knowledge? Why is it all just incomprehensible gibberish? Are they trying to make me sick?

After reading for only a short while, Su Yan simply couldn’t continue.

He chose to give up.

He lay on the bed in a wooden plank shape, feeling a bit doubtful about life.

At this moment, Su Yan couldn’t help but worry about his own Evolution College Entrance Examination.

The Evolution College Entrance Examination was divided into two major stages: the preliminary examination and the re-examination.

The preliminary examination, in turn, had two test subjects: the written test and the physical test.

The written test mainly assessed students’ grasp of evolutionary theory knowledge. This included identifying various evolutionary creatures, understanding their biological characteristics, and creature skills. It was usually tested with multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short-answer questions, and the difficulty was relatively low. It was just that there was a lot to memorize, which required time to accumulate and was hard to achieve overnight. However, as long as one listened attentively in class and memorized diligently afterward, most students determined to apply for the Evolutionary Science major could score excellent marks in the exam.

As for the physical test, it mainly examined the students’ physical fitness, potential, and talent. This included:

The 100-meter sprint.

The standing high jump.

The punching power test.

The reaction test.

The spirit test.

The HP test.

There were six testing events in total.

The pass rate for the physical exam was very low. In a place like Luo City, only about 15% passed each year.

To be admitted into an Evolution University, one must pass the preliminary examination, meaning both the written and physical tests must be passed. Otherwise, students wouldn’t even qualify to apply for university placement.

In other words, among the students who participated in the Evolutionary Science track, only about 15% managed to advance their studies each year.

As for those who failed to advance, some would repeat a year in hopes of doing better. Some would enroll in emerging colleges like the Three Great Schools to learn a trade for better job prospects. Others would go straight into manual labor.

So, no matter how you looked at it, the Evolutionary Science college entrance exam was incredibly competitive. It’s not an exaggeration to compare it to thousands of people trying to cross a single-log bridge.

Those who passed the preliminary exam successfully advanced to the re-examination, which also signified that they had passed the Evolutionary Science exam and could attend an Evolution University.

The so-called re-examination was actually a nationally live-broadcasted contest ring, also known as practical combat. Its purpose was to further screen these students who had passed the Evolutionary Science exam. This sorted them into different tiers:

The first tier, Prestigious Evolution University.

The second tier, Key Evolution University.

The third tier, Ordinary Evolution University.

Which tier a student belonged to didn’t depend on wins or losses, but on performance. Because the opponents in the contest varied in strength, judging solely on wins and losses would be unfair in assessing a student’s capabilities. So, during the contest, there are dedicated judges observing and scoring on-site. Also, the top ten in the Evolution College Entrance Examination are selected concurrently after the contest ends.

Physical testing will definitely be no problem, but this written assessment... sigh, it’s such a headache.

Su Yan, lying on the bed in a wooden plank shape, felt extremely dismayed at this moment.

PS: Begging for votes.
