Just like Agricultural University's martial arts course, Dragon City University's martial arts course also had its own admission test.
They used the ranking of the test to choose their lecturers and provide them with points to exchange for dorms, equipment, missions, food vouchers from the canteen, all sorts of cultivation resources, and other things.
Every year, for the sake of ranking and points, the freshmen would put up an exciting fight.
It was just like how Meng Chao had fought against the Four Great Kings during the admission test to get cultivation resources.
The only difference was that the freshmen of Agricultural University's martial arts course had to report to the public before they took the test.
Dragon City University's martial arts course's admission test was open to the public. Regardless of whether it was the freshmen from the other courses, the parents who accompanied the freshmen to register, or even irrelevant people, they could watch as they pleased.
This was Dragon City University's rule.
As the overlord of martial arts in Dragon City's higher education circle, Dragon City University's martial arts course had always upheld the principle that all citizens should cultivate. Forget about watching the students cultivate, even if they wanted to listen to the ace lecturers' lessons, as long as there were empty seats and they did not disrupt the class discipline or waste the lecturers' time, the university would welcome them warmly.
It was only by doing so that they could cultivate more powerful fighters for Dragon City and help Earthlings win the war for survival!
Even though they were competitors …
Meng Chao admired Dragon City University's martial arts course's open and open spirit of not rejecting anyone.
Hence, after he accompanied Bai Jiacao to register, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he decided to wait until his sister's admission test was over.
In any case, his presence was completely different from half a year ago. He also wore a pair of wide sunglasses that covered half of his face, so no one would be able to recognize him as the eldest senior brother of the Ultimate Style and the archenemy of the Overkill Style.
"The admission test for Dragon City University's martial arts course has a name, and it's called Stairway to Heaven."
Meng Chao squeezed his way through the bustling crowd and enjoyed the freshmen's exciting performances while he explained to his parents. "Do you see the cauldrons by the side? They're made of a unique alloy, and each cauldron weighs three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred, and up to two or three thousand kilograms.
"The materials used to forge the cauldron were originally uneven in density and weight, so it's very difficult to find a stable center of gravity. Furthermore, the cauldron's appearance was intentionally made into a slippery enneahedron. There's almost no place to grab or hold it, so it'll be uncomfortable no matter if you lift or hold it.
"Inside the hollow cauldron, there are usually a few solid metal balls that weigh from dozens of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms. When the metal balls spin around, it's even harder to balance them, and it's even easier for them to lose control and fall.
"But the admission test for Dragon City University's martial arts course isn't as simple as lifting the cauldron.
"Look, there's a flight of stairs leading to the top of the teaching building. It's known as Sky Stairway. There are ninety-nine steps in total. The bottom few steps are relatively wide and stable, but the higher you go, the narrower the steps are. The difference in height between the steps is also greater, and the stairs will be slanted left and right. The stairs are either filled with nails or smeared with monster grease to form a thin layer of frost to reduce friction.
"In fact, some of the steps aren't fixed. Instead, they're like broken wooden planks embedded in a rope ladder. They're hung by chains, and they sway left and right.
"If the freshmen want to get more credits, they have to lift a cauldron that weighs three hundred kilograms and put a metal ball that weighs thirty kilograms inside. No matter what method they use, be it holding it, carrying it, or dragging it, they have to lift it up the Sky Stairway and try their best to climb as high as possible. Then, they have to return the way they came. During that period of time, the cauldron, metal ball, and themselves must not fall. It's that simple."
"You call that simple?"
Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin gasped in amazement.
It has to be known that the Olympic weightlifting champions on Earth only managed to lift around five hundred kilograms.
Even though Dragon Citizens were immune to the zombie virus and absorbed a large amount of spirit energy, the activity of their cells and the number of their muscle fibers had increased by leaps and bounds compared to those on Earth.
But carrying a cauldron that weighed three hundred kilograms, which had an unstable center of gravity and an irregular shape, up the incredibly dangerous and steep Sky Stairway, and even had to return the way they came still surpassed their imaginations.
"We have to be confident in Xiaocao. She's ranked seventh in the city. Besides, it's not like the six people ahead of her applied for Dragon City University's martial arts course. That's why she's considered one of the Four Great Kings of Dragon City University's martial arts course this year!"
Meng Chao grinned. "This isn't too difficult. The upperclassmen of Dragon City University play with cauldrons that weigh around seven hundred kilograms. They have to put three to five metal balls in them, and they have to collide with each other and spin at high speed. The lecturers of Dragon City University need cauldrons that weigh at least one ton to be able to cultivate.
"Besides, over the past two years, the cultivation standards of the youths in Dragon City University have been getting higher. I remember that the record for the freshmen who climbed the Sky Stairway in Dragon City University's martial arts course is Wang Dao. He's a monster, and you can't calculate him using normal standards. In the past, those who managed to climb to the fortieth Sky Stairway were very rare, and the ace lecturers would fight for them.
"But this year, in just a short half an hour, three freshmen reached the fortieth Sky Stairway. One of them even reached the forty-fifth Sky Stairway. He's already very close to Wang Dao's standards.
"There's not much of a gap between Xiaocao's college entrance examination results and the top six students. Her cultivation level should be about the same. Therefore, her ranking on the Celestial Stairway will definitely not be bad. You guys can relax and just wait and see!"
Indeed, ever since Meng Chao and Lu Siya stopped the Red Radiance Jade tsunami from erupting under Raging Waves, the new generation of Dragon City welcomed a new era of prosperity.
The new generation of Dragon City welcomed a new era of prosperity.
The cultivation resources Bai Jiacao's generation received were five times more than Meng Chao's generation.
The fog gradually disappeared, and real battlefields were set up everywhere in the wild. Some of the monsters that had been tamed by humans and were much less wild were placed inside so that the high school students could cultivate in a 100% realistic environment.
Superbrain technology, which used biochemical cells to connect to the brain's nerves, was also getting more mature, and it became popular.
Now, even the children in public high schools could kill in the virtual world every night. At the same time they accumulated practical experience, they could increase their mental power and the sturdiness of their minds.
Hence, the fighting strength of the youths increased explosively.
The average score of the national college examination this year had increased by 10% compared to last year.
And last year, it had increased by 10% compared to the year before.
A few of the public high schools had people awakening to supernatural abilities before they even took their national college examination, and they could not suppress it.
Meng Chao's cohort was known as the Golden Generation.
Before Bai Jiacao's cohort stepped into a real battlefield, she was already known as the Platinum Generation by the media, who would not stop talking about shocking things.
Perhaps the "Super Platinum First Generation" would be born soon.
Take the students in front of him as an example.
Meng Chao remembered that year, when he was walking on the shaded road in Agricultural University's martial arts course, he saw around thirty shining spirit tattoos on the freshmen, which meant that they had awakened around thirty spirit meridians.
Even Sun Ya, who was the strongest freshman that year, had only cleared around sixty spirit meridians.
But this year, the freshmen from Dragon City University's martial arts course all had dragons and phoenixes embroidered on them. Their spirit tattoos shone brilliantly, as if they were wearing dazzling armor.
Cleared more than sixty spirit meridians?
That was the passing mark!
It was true that the passing mark of Dragon City University's martial arts course was much higher than that of Agricultural University's martial arts course in the past, and the students they chose were all martial arts geniuses.
But the overall cultivation standards of the youths in Dragon City had increased by leaps and bounds, and it was a fact that could be seen with the naked eye.
As the greatest promoter of this cultivation craze, Meng Chao felt deeply gratified.
He really wanted to touch the head of the arrogant teenager who had just stepped onto the 45th step and acted as if there was no one else around him. He wanted to cheer for him. "Well done, brat. The future of Dragon City will be in your hands now!"
Of course, to maintain the harmony between Dragon City University's martial arts course and Agricultural University's martial arts course, he decided against it.
The main reason was because Meng Chao had sharp eyes and sharp ears, and he heard the boy talking excitedly to his companions.
"The forty-fifth step! He's closing in on Senior Wang Dao's record! That's great, A 'hao! "
"The freshmen from our course are really strong this year. They'll definitely beat the crap out of Agricultural University's martial arts course and completely suppress the Ultimate Style!"
"That's right, the Ultimate Style is just that Meng Chao is strong, but Meng Chao's talent only lasted for a short while. He only joined the interuniversity tournament once and won by a stroke of luck. Then, he didn't dare to come again. Over the past half a year, Senior Wang Dao has been able to beat him!"
"That's right. When it comes to accumulating strength, who in Dragon City can compare to Dragon City University's martial arts course? Our freshmen are really strong this year. Even if Meng Chao really leads Agricultural University's martial arts course to stage a comeback, we won't even need Senior Wang Dao to attack. We'll just beat them up! "
Many of the Dragon City University's martial arts course freshmen were excited by the unexpectedly good results. Their blood boiled, and all sorts of bold words gushed out of their mouths like water pipes bursting.
"That's right! That's right!"
Meng Chao could not help but nod as he listened. "Youngsters have to have this sort of spirit that says they don't know their limits. They're clearly opponents that they can't win against, but they have to do everything they can to chase after them, challenge them, and fight with their lives on the line. It's just like how I wanted to challenge Battle God Lei Zongchao. Even if I lose completely and get beaten up so badly that even my parents won't recognize me, so what? This is youth, this is dreams, and this is passion! "
Meng Chao was touched by their passion. He smiled faintly, and when he looked at the children, his gaze gradually turned kind.
Bai Jiacao was not as tolerant and kind as he was.
She glared at her classmates angrily. She thought that their voices were too piercing to the ears.
It was strange. Even though Bai Jiacao had always dreamed of defeating her big brother and trained hard with this dream in mind, it was not easy for her to get into Dragon City University's martial arts course.
But when she heard her classmates mocking her big brother, the Ultimate Style, and Agricultural University's martial arts course as well as saying that they wanted to beat Meng Chao up, she could not help but feel angry.
It was probably the feeling of "I'm the only one who can defeat my big brother. Who do you think you are?"
But the boys did not know what was good for them.
Perhaps it was because he saw that she looked innocent and cute, but he did not know her background, so he intentionally laughed loudly and drew closer to her. He intentionally revealed the spirit tattoos on his arms and legs and released a spirit energy that was unique to men. He laughed heartily and said, "Hey, it's your turn now. Good luck, we'll definitely defeat Agricultural University's martial arts course, the Ultimate Style, and Meng Chao!" "You're the one who's going to fight.
