That night, Li Yao slept very soundly and sweetly. He did not have half a dream and slept all the way until dawn.
But in several other places in Floating Spear City, there were people who were having sleepless nights.
Two o 'clock in the middle of the night, twenty kilometers away, in the villa district.
Helian Lie slowly floated up from a large vat filled with silver liquid. His face was less arrogant, but there was a trace of malice in his eyes. He was expressionless as he slowly walked out of the large vat. His skin was suffused with a layer of silver light, as if it was plated with a layer of metal.
"Success!"
Helian Ba stood to the side with a happy expression. He growled, "Ah Lie, you did not disappoint Elder Zhou Yin's expectations. Finally, under the catalysis of his secret technique, you have cultivated the 'Mysterious Silver Battle Body'. Your strength has skyrocketed!"
Helian Lie's face was full of malevolence. Inch by inch, he caressed his iron-like, steel-like body. He gnashed his teeth and said, "This month, I have suffered inhuman pain. I soaked in the 'Mithril Strengthening Medicine' day and night, forging myself into the 'Mysterious Silver Battle Body'. My Actualization Quotient has been forcibly raised to 88%. My future cultivation path will be even smoother!"
"Finally, it is time to reap the harvest. Tomorrow, I will definitely win the title of 'Floating Spear City's College Entrance Champion'!"
Helian Ba nodded, "That's right. You must become the 'Floating Spear City's College Entrance Champion'. This is no longer just a matter of you. It is not just a matter of our Helian Clan. It is also related to the open and secret struggle between Elder Zhou Yin and Fiend Blade Peng Hai!"
"Elder Zhou Yin is an expert of the older generation of the Crimson Nimbus Sect. Fiend Blade Peng Hai is a new star that has emerged recently. Although the old and the young get along well on the surface, Elder Zhou Yin strongly invited Peng Hai to come to Chixiao No. 2 High School to train the newcomers, creating the illusion that the two get along well."
"But in the dark, the two have a lot of differences in interests. The contradictions between them are very deep. They have also quietly fought several times!"
"What happened this time, isn't it another form of fighting? Elder Zhou Yin thinks highly of you and believes that you are a promising talent. He has invested so many resources to nurture you. But Fiend Blade Peng Hai is protecting that little bastard Li Yao. I heard that he even lent his cultivation room to that little bastard. He clearly wants to be that little bastard's backer! "
Hearing Li Yao's name, Helian Lie's entire body's muscles swelled in a flash. His entire body grew another size. He gently stroked his lower abdomen, pausing between each word as he said, "Li Yao, I will forever remember this punch. After the College Entrance Exam, I will definitely look for you to settle accounts!"
Helian Ba said, "As long as you can become the 'Floating Spear City's Champion of the College Entrance Examination' and prove Elder Zhou Yin's vision, his position in the Crimson Nimbus Sect will be even more stable, and he will be able to completely suppress Fiend Blade Peng Hai. At that time, you can retaliate against Li Yao however you want. Elder Zhou Yin and several of our Helian Clan's elders will fully support you, but if you don't get a good grade..."
Helian Lie narrowed his eyes, "That is impossible. Father, you have seen with your own eyes how much pain I have endured this month. The title of Floating Spear City's Champion of the College Entrance Examination is already in my bag. No one can snatch it from me!"
"Good, our Helian Clan's people should have this kind of domineering attitude. Then I will wait for your good news!"
"Oh right, Father, have you heard any news about Li Yao? Will he be participating in the College Entrance Examination?"
"It is very strange. I have used my connections to check the list of Floating Spear City's candidates who are participating in the College Entrance Examination. There are a total of 5788 candidates who are participating in the College Entrance Examination, but Li Yao's name is not on it."
Helian Lie was surprised, "Then, could he have transferred to another school?"
Helian Ba shook his head, "I have used my connections to check all the high schools in the city. I have even checked some of the stronger ordinary high schools, but there is no record of him. It seems that this kid's strength has not recovered yet. He will not be participating in the College Entrance Examination this year."
"Is that so? That is really a pity. I have been busy cultivating these days, so I have no time to look for this trash. Wait until the College Entrance Examination is over. After I get the title of Floating Spear City's Champion of the College Entrance Examination, I will go find him... and slowly compare notes!"
… …
Three o'clock in the middle of the night, twenty-five kilometers away, in another quaint villa.
Si Jiaxue lightly yawned. She rubbed her sleepy beautiful eyes and gently turned off the hologram of the crystal processor.
"Little Xue, rest early. The College Entrance Examination is coming soon. Right now, the most important thing is not to study, but to sleep well and maintain your best condition." A chubby middle-aged woman behind her said with concern.
Si Jiaxue faintly smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. It's just the College Entrance Examination. I don't care about it. Four hours of sleep is enough."
… …
Four o'clock in the middle of the night, thirty kilometers away, in a dense jungle.
In a holiday cabin made of logs, there were beautiful women singing and coquettish moaning.
"Young Master Zheng, Young Master Zheng, you must take it easy. The College Entrance Examination is coming soon, Young Master Zheng!" On a large pink bed, seven beautiful women were lying on the floor. They were extremely charming and tender, and as soft as mud.
Zheng Dongming's cat-like eyes sparkled. He said with a lewd smile, "This young master has been eating vegetarian food for two months. It was not easy for me to recover in advance. Of course, I must first satisfy my craving. College Entrance Examination? Whatever! "
… …
Apart from them, the entire Xing Yao Federation had countless third-year high school students who were unable to sleep through the night. They were impatiently waiting for the arrival of dawn. There were also people who could not sleep until the darkest moment before dawn. Finally, they could not endure it and fell into a deep sleep.
When they opened their eyes again, it was already eight o'clock!
"Not good, the College Entrance Examination is starting at nine o'clock. Hurry and get up!"
Countless students in the entire Federation jumped up from their beds. They were like soldiers who had heard the call to charge. They rushed out of their homes, rushed to the school, rushed to the examination hall!
Li Yao was one of them.
The other examinees' faces were either restless, excited, or panic-stricken. However, Li Yao appeared to be as calm as the wind and clouds, calm and unruffled.
It was only when he entered the classroom and entered the special examination cabin for the College Entrance Examination that the cabin door slowly closed that Li Yao's expression became somewhat lively. The depths of his eyes revealed a glimmer of hunger.
If Fat Dragon and Wild Wolf in the Artifact Graveyard were to see this, they would definitely recognize it. This was the appearance of a "vulture" about to pounce on its prey.
The fateful College Entrance Examination had officially begun!
The entire Xing Yao Federation was silent. No matter which city it was, the sky was quiet. Only a few flying shuttles, which were as slow as snails, silently crawled across the sky. Even the cultivators, who usually flew by on their flying swords, became cautious and did not dare to make the slightest bit of noise.
If anyone dared to disturb the examinees, even if they were Yuanying freaks, they would be drowned by millions of angry parents.
One hour … two hours...
Countless examinees were doing their best in the examination cabins. Countless parents were waiting outside the school.
Three hours passed. This was the quietest three hours in the Xing Yao Federation. It was also the most intense three hours.
Finally —
After more than three hours of examination, some examinees who had handed in their papers early left the examination cabins one after another. They walked out of the school with their foreheads covered in sweat, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. This caused the first wave of commotion.
Five hours later, the examination time was up. All examinees were forced to leave the examination cabins.
The Xing Yao Federation resumed its usual clamor. It was even noisier than five hours ago. All the parents and examinees were gathered in the school, waiting for the announcement of the College Entrance Examination results!
The examination cabins used for the College Entrance Examination were all equipped with advanced crystal processors with super high computing power. When the examinees were fighting in the Great Illusionary Land, the crystal processors could calculate the examinees' scores in real time.
In theory, the crystal processors could calculate the final College Entrance Examination results the moment the examinees stepped out of the examination cabins.
However, in order to ensure the fairness of the College Entrance Examination, all the scores would be sent to other crystal processors on the Spiritual Nexus for review.
Every examinee's score had to be calculated by seven different crystal processors. Only when the final score was exactly the same could it be confirmed that there was no error and it would be uploaded to the mainframe crystal processor of the city's Education Bureau.
The entire process would take about an hour.
After an hour, the mainframe crystal processor of the city's Education Bureau would announce the scores and rankings of all the examinees. The examinees could check the results through their own mini crystal processors.
However, high schools like Chixiao No. 2 High School, which had the strength to become the "Floating Spear City's Champion of the College Entrance Examination", would set up an enormous hologram in the most conspicuous place. It would display the names and scores of the top 100, 500, and 1000 students in the city.
This was an hour of undercurrents surging. This was an hour of soul-stirring. This was an hour that made one's mouth dry and tongue dry. This was an hour where one's heart beat wildly and blood vessels burst!
On the campus of Chixiao No. 2 High School, the principal, the board of directors, the dean of teaching, several thousand students, and several thousand parents were all silent. Their expressions were tense as they stared unwaveringly at the enormous hologram in the middle of the sports field, waiting for the announcement of the final results.
Helian Lie stood like a crane among a flock of chickens. He stood in the middle of the crowd. His entire body was surrounded by a powerful aura. No one dared to approach him even half a step. This caused an empty space of over a meter to appear around him.
He crossed his arms. He seemed calm and composed. However, his slightly trembling fingers revealed the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.
Suddenly, the originally pitch-black hologram slightly swayed. Circles of ripples appeared on it.
The crowd, which was deathly silent a moment ago, immediately became restless.
"Look, the results are coming out!"
"I wonder if there is anyone in our school who can obtain the title of 'Floating Spear City's College Entrance Champion'?"
"It is said that we have two very powerful examinees this time. Both of them are very promising!"
"Ah, the results are coming out!"
The ripples on the hologram spread faster and faster. Strings of blood-red numbers fell from the top of the hologram like a torrential rain, forming the names and results of over a hundred examinees.
The line of text at the top displayed...
"Chixiao No. 2 High School's Helian Lie. College Entrance Exam Total Score: 715. Actualization Quotient: 88%. Total Score: 629.2. Temporarily ranked first on the total score list!"
