He closed the webpage and sat down cross-legged. He assumed the Pagoda Stance and imagined himself to be a towering tower on a lone island in the middle of a raging storm.
His chaotic thoughts were like raging waves, but his heart gradually calmed down. The center of his eyebrows was like a lamp at the top of a tower. It shone with rays of golden light that pierced through the raging waves.
'The old senior has already shone brilliantly, but the future will still be created by our generation!'
Meng Chao opened his eyes, and they shone brilliantly.
He originally did not intend to awaken any more skills.
But the quest to heal Ning Shewo had helped him accumulate another two thousand contribution points.
Besides, he had been practicing Thunder Rapier for a long time, so the price for awakening this basic technique became lower.
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he lit it up and pushed it to Specialist Level in one go.
Because of it, he had three force execution methods, two fighting techniques, nine stances, and an additional Dragon Hibernation Stance.
He also had the corresponding breathing technique, meditation technique, and Perfect Level Basic Gun Technique.
He had mastered all the skills he could learn in high school, and his Skillfulness was almost maxed out.
In truth, he still had some advanced skills that he could awaken.
The remaining five thousand contribution points were enough for him to push a Specialist Level skill to Master Level or even Perfect Level.
But he did not intend to do that for the time being. He had to use good steel where it mattered most.
Meng Chao focused his gaze and jumped up. The tip of his foot hooked onto a saber with a thick back, and it shone with a bright light. He also grabbed a piece of draft paper.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The saber turned into a rolling silver wave in the messy and narrow room.
In an instant, he swung his saber dozens of times, but he did not touch the table, chair, bed, or anything on the bookshelf.
Even the draft paper that was as thin as a cicada's wing danced on the tip of the saber. It was not torn in the slightest.
Meng Chao's exquisite control over the One Hundred Saber Techniques had reached the point that even the teachers from First High School, Second High School, and Construction High School would praise him when they saw him.
But that was not enough.
He bent his knees slightly, and his muscles contracted. Thud, thud, thud. He jumped on the wall and started moving at high speed in an unbelievable manner.
His stance was trained to the limit, and with the help of Ripple Force, his legs seemed to have a strange suction force that stuck him to the wall or even the ceiling.
His saber technique changed. It turned from fierce to heavy, and it even brought with it a thunderous momentum.
He used a heavy saber to execute the essence of Thunder Rapier.
In an instant, it was as if the room was filled with thunder and lightning, and a storm was brewing.
"Phew —"
The bed, table, and chairs creaked. They could no longer withstand the qi force. It was only then that Meng Chao stopped and released a white arrow of qi that accurately hit the flying draft paper.
The draft paper had long since been cut into countless cracks by the saber and sword shadows. When he blew, it immediately broke into pieces, but it turned into dozens of five-pointed stars.
Meng Chao smiled. "With this kind of saber technique, sword technique, and Perfect Level Basic Gun Technique, I'll definitely be able to pass the national college examination tomorrow!"
…
It was another fiery dawn. The day of the college entrance examination had arrived.
Meng Chao jumped up from his bed. He felt refreshed, and every cell in his body was hungry.
Bai Suxin knocked on the door and gave him a set of red underwear and a pair of red socks to give him a good start.
Meng Chao wanted to laugh, but he did not want to waste his mother's good will, so he put it on obediently.
However, when his father brought out a red belt, he could only reject it.
The small dining table was filled with a dazzling array of breakfast dishes. His parents had practically bought all the dishes from all the breakfast stalls in the area to take home.
Bai Jiacao was woken up by the fragrance. She stretched out her hand in a daze, but her mother slapped it away.
Her parents were more nervous than anyone else, but they acted as if nothing was wrong and comforted Meng Chao.
"It's fine. Just relax and take the exam. As long as you perform at your normal level, it doesn't matter how many marks you get."
"Even if you can't get into university, getting into a junior college is still pretty good. When you get into society, you can continue your education, and you might become a superhuman."
"Bah, don't curse your son. If you don't know how to speak, don't say it. Right now, your son is even stronger than a key high school student!"
"I'm just trying to help him relax. Don't be so nervous. If you're nervous, you'll make him nervous as well!"
When Meng Chao saw that they were about to start arguing, he quickly took the pancake, fried dough sticks, and soup dumplings out of the door. "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving. Don't worry, it's just the national college examination. It's just a game!"
With firm footsteps, he walked out of Blessed Heavenly Garden.
Usually, there were not many cars on the streets. Today, the streets were especially empty. Only the public buses for the examinees moved between the residential areas and the examination areas.
But there were a lot of armored airships and superhumans in the sky, ready for battle.
The anti-aircraft guns and missile launchers on the skyscrapers also showed their ferocious faces.
The Red Dragon Army and war machines were stationed at the important roads and strategic heights on the ground.
Today, Dragon City was in a state of mutual hostility and murderous.
It was the day of the national college examination. It was the day when the youngsters decided their fates, and they could not allow monsters to invade them.
A long time ago, the intelligent superbeasts understood one thing. Every four seasons, there were two special days when they could not invade Dragon City.
One of them was New Year's Eve.
The other was the national college examination.
Twenty years ago, when Dragon City had just recovered from the chaos, an Apocalyptic Beast led a large group of superbeasts and high-grade monsters to invade Dragon City with an aggressive momentum.
Superbeasts were divided into nine levels. The lower three levels were known as Nightmarish Beasts, the middle three levels were known as Hell Beasts, and the upper three levels, which were the most brutal and destructive, were known as Apocalyptic Beasts.
The Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon was a very difficult character to deal with among the Apocalyptic Beasts.
It had nine heads with incredibly powerful regeneration abilities. Even if it cut off three to five of them, it could regrow them. Its scales were crystallized, so not only were they incredibly sturdy, they could also control light freely to turn invisible and shoot lasers. It had both offense and defense, and it was incredibly sharp.
Besides, the monster horde it controlled had a lot of Nightmarish Beasts and Hell Beasts.
This terrifying army had been the king of Monster Mountain Range for a long time.
But because it invaded Dragon City on the day of the national college examination, it stirred up the anger of the Dragon Citizens.
From the soldiers of the Red Dragon Army to the Deity Realm superhumans who were above six-star superhumans and had incredible abilities, all the Earthlings went berserk, and they easily repelled its savage attacks.
But that was not the end.
"Those who offend our national college examination will be killed, no matter how far away you are!"
The Survival Committee, the Supernatural Tower, and the Red Dragon Army's staff headquarters worked together to give the strongest voice to the Earthlings.
Ten Deity Realm superhumans led the elites of Dragon City and launched the fiercest offense ever since Dragon City transmigrated. Their vanguard went deep into the fog to the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon's nest.
It has to be known that superhumans were also divided into nine stars. One to three stars were Earth Realm, four to six stars were Heaven Realm, and seven to nine stars were Deity Realm.
The peak of Heaven Realm was a six-star superhuman, and it was believed to be a barrier that was incredibly difficult to break. It was the ultimate goal that countless powerful fighters dreamed of reaching. It was also the peak that could be reached step by step once they sorted out a scientific cultivation method.
But reaching Heaven Realm and becoming like the Deity Realm did not just depend on science. They also needed unique epiphanies, a bit of luck, and the help of Mystical Studies.
Each Deity Realm superhuman was a strategic weapon that was equivalent to an atomic bomb. They usually did not carry out tactical missions that targeted specific targets.
Exploring the frontiers of life sciences, excavating the ancient ruins buried under the Supernatural Tower, planning the strategic direction of Dragon City, refining the essence of martial arts and technology, and bringing up more Earth Realm and Heaven Realm superhumans were what they needed to do.
But this time, since the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon had ruined the national college examination, ten Deity Realm superhumans and the Red Dragon Army worked together to enforce the law. They chased after the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon for more than three months in the fog, and in the end, they managed to kill the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon's entire family.
Even though Dragon City had to pay a devastating price: two Deity Realm superhumans were heavily injured and the Red Dragon Army lost a rapid strike brigade.
But everyone believed that the sacrifice was worth it.
"You ruined my national college examination, so I'll destroy your entire family!"
This was the message the humans sent to the monsters.
Once they reached the level of Hell Beasts or Apocalyptic Beasts, many of them possessed intelligence that did not lose to that of humans. As they shuddered, they understood the threat of humans. From then on, they no longer dared to cause trouble on the day of the national college examination.
Meng Chao arrived at the examination venue without any problems. It was located in a middle school in Nine Sands Region.
The order of the examination venue was random. He only managed to find a few students there, such as Fatty Wang Tao, who was originally from Class 6.
It was not time for them to enter the examination venue yet, so the students from Ninth High School gathered under a purple locust tree and chatted with each other.
Some people said that they did not sleep well last night. In the morning, they even had gastroenteritis and vomited everything they ate.
Some people were worried that their stomachs would hurt and that they might have diarrhea later.
Some people were desperate with pale faces. They mumbled under their breaths and asked all the deities on Earth to protect them while they flipped through their biology books. They wanted to remember the names of a few monster organs.
When they saw Meng Chao, everyone shut up in a show of teamwork and turned their heads away.
Meng Chao was dumbfounded. "Am I that unpopular?"
"Ace Student Chao, can you not come over and attack us?"
Wang Tao said with a gloomy expression. "Do you think we don't know what you're up to? If we pay attention to you right now and ask you how you're doing with your preparations, you'll definitely say humbly that it's just so-so, that you're not in a good condition, and that you don't know many of the questions. You'll just blabber on and on, and in the end, when your scores come out, heh, you'll easily reach Dragon City University's admission requirements. Then, you'll keep a low profile and say, 'Ah, I didn't reach the standards of Dragon City University's martial arts course, so I really messed up.' We all know what you're up to, so why do you have to look for trouble for yourself? "
"Am I that sort of person in your eyes?" Fatty Wang nodded.
The little fatty nodded. "Be more confident. Remove the 'is'. You are that kind of person."
"Alright, since you said that, there's no need for me to be humble."
Meng Chao thought about it and said faintly, "Honestly, I've made ample preparations. If I really want to get into Dragon City University's martial arts course, it shouldn't be a big problem."
The students looked at each other at a loss, then covered their ears. "I'm not listening! I'm not listening! Go away, you damn ace! Go away from us bad students!"
Ring, ring, ring!
It was time to enter the examination venue.
= = = =
It's a new week, and I'll tell you a piece of good news. We're almost done with the word count, right? We'll be going on the shelves this Friday!
At that time, we'll definitely become much faster. My brothers and sisters, don't worry about this!
