In the monitoring room, all the teachers leading the high schools and the staff from the education department shuddered.
There were plenty of top students from the other key high schools who had killed the monsters ahead of time.
It was especially so for Construction High. Many of the students killed faster than Meng Chao.
But after they killed the monsters, they sat down cross-legged and entered deep meditation to stabilize their mental strength indices.
No one was like Meng Chao, who hummed, narrowed his eyes, swayed his head, and cut the monster carcasses into pieces!
When everyone saw how happy he was, they finally understood why Ning Xueshi from Agricultural University's resource course went to him.
The teacher leading the Construction High School team put away the arrogance on his face, but he could not hide the shock in his eyes.
The teachers from the other high schools cast complicated gazes at Ninth High School.
Demon Yan still had the tanned face inherited from his ancestors, but his eyelids twitched a few times. "This boy really surprises us time and time again!"
As the first batch of examinees were eliminated, the ones who remained were all determined people.
Soon, the second wave of monsters that were even more ferocious and ugly appeared.
The top students who had been resting opened their eyes and started fighting even more horrifying.
Meng Chao also swung his saber and jumped up.
Then, he died.
"Ninth High School's Meng Chao doesn't seem to have great fighting skills."
When he saw that he had died a few times, one of the teachers commented.
The mental strength test only tested the examinees' mental strength index. It did not test their fighting skills. No matter how many times they died, they could be reborn as long as they could endure the pain at the moment of death.
Meng Chao was reborn again and again, but he charged forward without batting an eyelid. He swung his saber clumsily and died again and again.
The number of times he died was among the highest among all the examinees.
The teachers from the other high schools sighed in relief.
But that made sense. His mind was ridiculously strong. No matter how outstanding his fighting skills were, there was no way there was such a monster in Ninth High School.
But the more Demon Yan watched, the more shocked he became. His eyes gradually popped out of their sockets.
He noticed two things.
First, no matter how many times Meng Chao died and no matter how painful his deaths were, his mental strength index remained at 10%.
Second, Meng Chao's movements when he swung the One Hundred Saber Techniques were not clumsy, but extreme. The boy used a lot of the radical and uncertain skills he had discussed with Demon Yan a few days ago.
Since he was not used to it and his body could not handle it, he looked clumsy.
"He, he's actually practicing his saber in such an important exam?"
Demon Yan was first dumbfounded, then his skin crawled.
After observing for a long time, the gold-medal teachers of the major universities gradually came to their senses, and the confusion in their eyes turned into shock.
"Ninth High School's One Hundred Saber Techniques seems to be different from our version. There's something special about it, no?"
"I heard that Second High School gathered a few saber masters and privately released an upgraded version of One Hundred Saber Techniques. Could it be that Ninth High School has also created its own version?"
"I know a little about Second High's version, but I feel like … it's not as good as Ninth High's version!"
"Ninth High School has been on the rise these past few years. Don't be fooled by Headmaster Sun's constant drowsiness, but he's been doing a lot of things in secret, including hiring Yan Dongxing, his old subordinate in the army, with a high salary to reform Ninth High School's education system. Could this be the version Yan Dongxing brought out from the military's secret unit?"
The One Hundred Saber Techniques was one of the most important cold weapon techniques during the compulsory education period.
The discerning ace teachers could naturally tell that Meng Chao was different from the others.
The more he thought about it, the more he found it interesting.
More or less, they had all comprehended something.
Hence, while Meng Chao fought in the virtual battlefield, a series of notifications popped up in front of his eyes.
[One Hundred Saber Techniques 7.3.5 is currently being spread among the elite citizens. The teachers and students of Dragon City in the future will be able to master stronger saber techniques. The overall fighting strength of Dragon City has increased. Increased contribution points by 11, 13, 12 …]
Meng Chao could not help but whistle.
His guess was right.
There were quite a number of gold-medal teachers who were at the same level as Demon Yan paying attention to the exam.
Not only were they elite citizens, they were also in charge of teaching and educating people. Through them spreading the future One Hundred Saber Techniques, they could increase the effect of one person spreading it to ten people, and ten people spreading it to one hundred people.
Meng Chao became even more excited when he received the nourishment from his contribution points. He swung his arms around and pounced on the monster horde, dying more than one hundred times.
It hurt. Of course it hurt, but the epiphanies he gained during those moments of life and death and the bombardment of contribution points allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of the One Hundred Saber Techniques, and his Skillfulness increased by leaps and bounds.
When he thought about how the Monster War was getting more intense and how Dragon City was on the verge of destruction at any moment, no matter how much pain he felt, Meng Chao could endure it.
Then, he remembered Demon Yan's words.
"As a Red Dragon Soldier, dying in bed is a form of humiliation. The best way to die is to be buried in a monster's stomach. Before your consciousness fades away, you have to stab the monster's heart with your final bone!"
Wasn't this the best way for every Dragon Citizen and every Earthling fighting in the Other World to die?
"You want to eat my flesh? I'll take your life! "
Meng Chao was torn to shreds by two monsters.
Before his consciousness faded away, he really swung the bone spike on his severed arm and stabbed a monster's heart. He even twisted it a few times.
…
Time ticked by.
Two-thirds of the examinees were eliminated.
The remaining one-third all passed.
The mental strength test was still going on, but the current test was only to force the examinees to their limits. If they could no longer persevere, they could quit at any moment, and they would still be considered to have passed.
The students in Ninth High School woke up.
Everyone's willpower was rather strong if they could last until then. After a short rest, they recovered from the shock to their hearts.
They eagerly looked at the list of people who passed on the screen. Once they found their names, they swung their fists in excitement.
Ninth High School's results this year were really good.
Among the one hundred and fifty examinees, more than eighty of them passed the second round. That was more than half of the examinees.
It has to be known that only forty percent of the examinees from Ninth High School managed to pass the second round last year.
"We're really good this year. We're about to catch up to the two key high schools in the city."
"Big Brother Xiong, your overall score is really high. You managed to get into the top five hundred in the region. You're amazing. How did you train?"
The students cast curious and envious gazes at Chu Feixiong.
Chu Feixiong smiled foolishly. "I didn't train much. When I saw so many savage monsters just now, I was really scared. But just as I was about to piss my pants, for some reason, I suddenly remembered Meng Chao being dragged by the two senior sisters. I placed Meng Chao's face in the monster's head, and in an instant, I was filled with righteous indignation. I was so angry that I immediately rushed forward and beat up the monster.
"Everyone was the same as me. You treated the monster as Meng Chao and were instantly filled with fighting spirit, right?"
The students looked at each other at a loss. Someone said in embarrassment, "I'm not as ruthless as Big Brother Xiong. I just received ten thousand blows to my heart just now, and I'm already numb. Ace Student Chao stabbed my heart ten thousand times. No matter how terrifying the monster is, it's just one more stab. Is there any difference?"
"Me too. The scene of the two senior sisters fighting over Meng Chao is deeply imprinted in my young heart. I've seen such unbelievable things before, so what kind of monster can't I face?"
"That's right. I was stimulated by Ace Student Chao, and now, my heart is as calm as still water. I don't want to think about anything else. I just want to study properly and conquer the Other World."
As the students talked, they noticed that Meng Chao had inadvertently helped them increase their mental strength, and they could not help but gasp in amazement.
"Wait, where's Ace Student Chao?" The students suddenly noticed that the main character of the topic had not said anything.
They looked around, and to their shock, they found that Meng Chao was still immersed in the sea of monsters.
"No way."
Chu Feixiong gasped in amazement. "When I quit, the number of monsters had already increased to more than two hundred, and they could tear the examinees to shreds at any moment. In the end, I wasn't afraid, but I couldn't stand the pain anymore. That's why my mental strength index collapsed, but Meng Chao is still persevering?"
"At the end of the mental strength test, all the people who remain are rich people who have been practicing secret techniques since they were young. Meng Chao is actually the same as them?"
"Wait, look at Meng Chao's expression carefully. Is he … smiling?"
The superbrain could only cover half of the examinee's face.
Even though they could not see his eyes, the students noticed that Meng Chao's lips had curled up slightly. There was no fear or despair in his eyes. He looked like he was excited to see a prey.
For a period of time, the students felt their skin crawl.
"Just what in the world did he see?"
The students had complicated expressions on their faces. "Could it be that we didn't enter the same virtual exam hall? Our exam hall is filled with monsters, but Ace Student Chao's exam hall is filled with seniors, and they're testing his mental strength?"
After waiting for around eight minutes, Meng Chao finally woke up.
He was full of energy, and he could even remove the superbrain. He did not look dazed, his muscles were twitching, and he did not look as pathetic as the others when they left the virtual battlefield.
Chu Feixiong could not help but ask, "Meng Chao, you can't take it anymore?"
"Yeah, I'm not playing anymore."
Meng Chao's mental strength index had always been stable, so if he wanted to play, he could continue.
But the number of monsters kept increasing. He was basically squeezing into a subway with hundreds of monsters during the morning rush hour. He did not have any space to practice saber techniques or harvest skills.
Even though he was not afraid of death, he was not a masochist. It was no longer fun for him to just be suppressed by monsters. If he calculated his score, he would definitely have enough points. He had also collected so many contribution points that his hands were sore, so he took the initiative to quit the exam and returned with great rewards.
"Play?"
When the students heard his choice of words, they could not help but be shocked. 'Play with monsters? He sure knows how to play! '
"Look, it's Ace Student Chao's rank!"
Suddenly, someone pointed at the screen.
The mental strength test in Tiger Forest Region had all ended. The examination department of the education department immediately displayed the final results on the screen.
The first to be affected were the top one hundred with the overall score.
Ninety of them were from Construction High.
The other nine were the outstanding students from the key high schools in the city.
Meng Chao was the only one who was below the key high schools in the city.
But this one and only student had managed to get into the top thirty with an unbelievable high score, and he left many of the elites from Construction High far behind him.
"How is that possible? Many of the top one hundred students from Construction High have superbrains and virtual reality cultivation systems at home. Every night, before they sleep, they fight against monsters. Even these monsters can't compare to Meng Chao? "
