CHAPTER 14: CHAPTER 13: FINAL ASSESSMENT

One hour later.

A middle-aged man wearing a black martial arts uniform strode into the ninth-grade martial arts classroom.

"The assessment is about to begin, everyone prepare yourselves."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

The students were invigorated, and they quickly stopped their cultivation to get ready.

"Is he the grade director of the martial arts class?" Jiang Ye looked at the middle-aged man.

On top of his head, two lines of information appeared.

[Physique: Mortal Body (Lower A Level)]

[Talent: Newborn]

"Lower A Level?"

Jiang Ye was slightly surprised, B, C, and D levels each have only one rank.

It seems now, A Level is further divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks.

But this is also the highest level of physique he has seen so far.

The grade director of the school’s martial arts class is almost the strongest power outside of the principal, having that level is quite normal.

"However, what exactly is the difference between talent and physique? It seems like they can determine cultivation speed."

Jiang Ye was a bit puzzled.

Up until now, he still has the original talent, but his cultivation speed is already not inferior to those students with newborn talent in the special class.

This world places such importance on talent, surely talent must have other functions.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering, the assessment began.

"The four-part martial arts assessment, the first part begins now."

Director Zhang Jianwu said in a deep voice.

The four-part martial arts assessment refers to the punch strength test, speed test, arena combat test, and virtual starry sky combat test.

Corresponding with the college entrance examination content.

With Zhang Jianwu’s words falling.

A punch strength tester rose in the middle of the classroom.

"First, Xu Sisi." Zhang Jianwu called.

A girl with a slender figure but long legs stepped onto the stage.

...

Zhang Jianwu watched the test taker approaching the tester, a gleam flickered in his eyes.

"I heard there’s a promising talent in ninth grade."

Zhang Jianwu pondered: "Being praised by Miss Chen like that, I’m quite curious, which student it might be?"

Boom!

At this moment, the first test result for Xu Sisi was out.

"603 kilograms?"

Zhang Jianwu slightly nodded: "Breaking through to Great Success in the ordinary class by sophomore year, not bad."

The Great Success standard for Star Martial Cultivation Technique is 500 kilograms.

But for Zhang Jianwu, this level still falls far short of the standard of ’not bad’.

Xu Sisi returned to her seat, a hint of excitement hidden on her charming face: "Punch strength has made another breakthrough, can I take first place this time?"

Her martial arts scores have always been second in the class.

Soon after Li Zhichao broke through to Cultivation Technique Great Success, she followed closely.

This time, her punch strength exceeded 600 kilograms, an unprecedented breakthrough, perhaps hopeful for first place!

...

As each classmate stepped onto the stage for testing, the electronic blackboard rankings were constantly refreshing.

Yet Zhang Jianwu still hadn’t seen a student who stunned him.

At this moment, a boy with a sharp hairline stepped onto the stage.

"Boom!"

Li Zhichao punched, and the numbers on the punch strength display rapidly soared.

kilograms!

"Wow~"

Seeing this number, the whole class was surprised.

"Seven hundred thirty-two kilograms? Terrifyingly amazing!"

"I’m just over four hundred kilograms, how does this guy cultivate?"

In the crowd, Xu Sisi witnessed this scene, and immediately sighed: "Seems like I can only settle for second place."

Li Zhichao’s progress was far faster than she imagined.

"Three hundred kilograms improvement in one semester?"

Wen Yuehui also narrowed his eyes and remarked: "This Li Zhichao is truly a monster!"

He glanced at Jiang Ye beside him, calm as water, confusedly asking: "Ye, why aren’t you surprised at all?"

"What’s there to be surprised about?"

Jiang Ye shook his head and replied: "Someone else’s cultivation is serious, and their use of enhancers is diligent, this progress is pretty normal, isn’t it?"

"..."

Wen Yuehui nodded: "Makes a lot of sense."

...

On stage, a gleam flashed in Zhang Jianwu’s eyes.

"Li Zhichao? Not bad, but... parents are martial arts powerhouses, assets in the millions?"

Zhang Jianwu looked at the student information on the tablet.

He shook his head internally.

For him, such achievements from this kind of family background are unsurprising.

Far from outstanding.

Most of the students had finished their tests, and Zhang Jianwu still hadn’t seen a student who impressed him, feeling slightly disappointed.

"Next, Jiang Ye."

With the words spoken, a graceful and handsome boy strode onto the stage.

"Hmm? This student..."

Zhang Jianwu, with his keen eye, immediately noticed that this boy seemed somewhat different.

Jiang Ye stepped up to the punch strength tester.

"Clang clang!"

His muscles surged, and his bones rang.

As he raised his right fist, the muscles of his shoulders, waist, and hips subtly puffed up, a surge of primal power transmitted from bottom to top.

"Boom!!"

He unleashed a punch.

Numbers soared on the punch strength display.

kilograms.

kilograms.

kilograms.

One second later, the number stopped exactly at ’610 kilograms’.

"610 kilograms?"

Jiang Ye was also somewhat surprised by this result, as he had just recently reached Great Success.

"Indeed, the stronger the physique, the correspondingly stronger the strength."

Jiang Ye thought to himself: "If I didn’t have B Level physique, my punch strength might have just exceeded five hundred kilograms."

In the same realm, the better the physique, the stronger the combat power!

This point was something Jiang Ye had already guessed during the preliminary assessment.

And today, it was further confirmed.

Although just breaking through to Great Success, the B Level physique endowed him with extraordinary combat power!

Jiang Ye bowed to Zhang Jianwu, then walked off the stage alone.

...

The classroom erupted into astonishment again.

Many students looked at Jiang Ye with surprise.

Xu Sisi also unwillingly looked at Jiang Ye.

She initially thought she could hold second place and fight for first, but now she couldn’t even maintain second place!

"Jiang Ye? This guy, wasn’t his preliminary test just 245 kilograms?"

Xu Sisi murmured: "In one semester, he improved by nearly four hundred kilograms?! Progressing more than Li Zhichao? How did he do it?"

On the other side.

Wen Yuehui widened his eyes: "Six hundred sixty-six, no salt at all!"

"Good brother, where did you buy the hacks? Can you sell me one?"

Jiang Ye shook his head, sighed, and said: "I told you, it’s because of persistence and hard work."

Wen Yuehui protested with anger: "Rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation! You definitely mutated."

"Maybe." Jiang Ye smiled, speaking in a certain sense, he indeed mutated.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jianwu also looked at Jiang Ye from the stage.

"It’s him."

Zhang Jianwu thought internally.

He had already checked Jiang Ye’s information.

Ordinary family, ordinary background.

The most critical part is the student’s speed of progress!

Last term’s final exam scores ranked 40.

This term’s opening assessment ranked 25.

This time? Directly soaring to 2nd place.

"Seems Miss Chen was right."

Zhang Jianwu subtly nodded: "Ninth grade has produced a promising talent."

Of course, for him, it’s just promising.

As the grade director of the martial arts class, Zhang Jianwu understands very clearly where the limit of original talent lies.

The sophomore year’s rapid progress is not uncommon, but typically this momentum slows down in the senior year.

...

Soon, the punch strength assessment ended.

Li Zhichao, Jiang Ye, Xu Sisi respectively secured the top three positions.

Wen Yuehui also made significant progress this time, reaching sixth place.

Zhang Jianwu stood on stage, and solemnly said: "The second assessment, speed test, begins now!"

"First, Xu Sisi!"

Called upon, Xu Sisi took a deep breath.

She glanced at Jiang Ye, a hint of competitiveness flashing on her fair face.

Punch strength is not her strong suit.

Being female, speed is the goal she has been honing this semester.

"I must catch up with points in the speed test."

Xu Sisi thought: "As long as the speed test and the subsequent combat tests exceed Jiang Ye, I can still hold onto second place."

Surpass Jiang Ye, pursue Li Zhichao!

This is her goal for the upcoming tests.

Xu Sisi took a deep breath, then stepped onto the stage.
