Starry Sky Professional Directory 112
June 7th.
The sky was clear and bright, without a single cloud.
Yucai High School.
One by one, senior high school students emerged from the examination hall, some with dejected faces, others with apprehensive expressions…
“Fang Xing… the last big question…”
Ouyang Qianqian was full of anxiety, wanting to check answers.
“Regarding that ‘Ussuri language’ translation, I believe the original meaning should be…”
Fang Xing smiled faintly and directly stated the standard answer.
“I’m done… I got it wrong.”
Bai Lang, who had overheard, couldn’t help but look dejected.
“Oh no, I forgot to add that part…”
Ouyang Qianqian’s face also turned pale.
“How did you do the second to last question?”
“I seem to…”
A group of students huddled together, their expressions worsening, gradually showing signs of becoming a disheartened army.
The liberal arts questions in this year’s College Entrance Examination were exceptionally difficult.
Fang Xing was the only one with a calm expression. After all, having cultivated his Martial Dao to the fourth realm and developed spiritual power, if he were still stuck on these minor questions, every single Professional could just bash their heads in.
Beep!
Suddenly, he received a communication request on his phone. Upon opening it, he found it was from Song Jingang.
“Hello… Little Song, are you also here to check answers with me?”
Fang Xing answered the call, saying with a smile.
“Boss… are you kidding? Do we need to check answers? I wanted to ask when you’re leaving for Blue Star, so we can go together!”
Song Jingang made his request.
“Mm, it’s on the way.”
Fang Xing nodded. Song Jingang came from a scholarly family and planned to take the College Entrance Examination for Blue Star Public Security University, his destination also being Blue Star.
“Okay, I’ll buy tomorrow’s ticket… the seat and flight number are… we’ll go together then.”
He spoke for a few more sentences, then asked, “The Martial Dao exam is this afternoon, so confident?”
“Hehe, Boss, to be honest, I’ve been cultivating hard this year, and finally broke through to the fourth realm…” Song Jingang chuckled, “I’ll try Blue Star University first; if I don’t get in, I’ll go to Blue Star Public Security University…”
“You broke through?”
Fang Xing thought for a moment; it seemed normal.
Without his intervention, Song Jingang would be the true top student of Aquila Star, so his aptitude was naturally exceptional.
A year ago, he was at the Jadeite Level. After a year of hard cultivation, he should have broken through.
‘Hmm? Maybe some giant corporation or private individual provided funding and subsidies… if there were any rare resources, the breakthrough would be even easier.’
Fang Xing thought lightly to himself and hung up the phone.
The Federation’s College Entrance Examination for Blue Star lasted only one day: the morning was for liberal arts, requiring students to complete all subject papers within a few hours.
The afternoon was the Martial Dao exam!
On the playground.
Fang Xing looked at the huge warehouse that had been airlifted and took a deep breath, “Such a grand gesture…”
This was a simulated examination warehouse, containing numerous holographic simulation pods, very valuable. Thus, many members of the Prevention Bureau and the Security Bureau were patrolling, each with sharp eyes.
“This exam uses the Federation’s newly developed holographic simulation pods… it’s said the simulation accuracy has reached 99%… enough to simulate most Martial Dao realms.”
A figure flashed, Xia Long came to Fang Xing’s side, “This exam, try your best to score as high as possible… the higher the better. Whether I can reach the Martial Dao Golden Core stage depends on you.”
He had damaged his spiritual source in the battle with ‘Moon Eye,’ and only a Source Sea-level treatment pod could heal him.
After Xia Long’s retirement, he taught at Yucai High School. His meritorious service and contributions had already accumulated considerably.
If he could add the honor of teaching a top-tier university student, he would definitely be able to secure a spot!
“This is just a unified exam, there’s still the school exam…”
Fang Xing rolled his eyes and asked, “Teacher, what score do you think I need?”
Xia Long thought for a moment, “The College Entrance Examination has a thousand points for liberal arts and a thousand points for Martial Dao… thus the total score is two thousand… the university score lines in previous years are generally above 900 points for liberal arts and 600 points for Martial Dao, that is, a total score of 1500 points… This is the score line for ordinary universities. For first-tier universities, at least 1800 points are needed, and for top-tier universities, it’s hard to say… after all, there are various bonus points.”
Awakening top-tier supernatural abilities, or showing special talents in mecha, pharmaceuticals, or research, all add bonus points.
Especially research talent! The bonus points are the most significant!
Mecha masters’ mechas, research in the mysterious realm, various advanced weapons, and pharmaceutical development… all require research personnel. Therefore, those with true research talent have plenty of bonus points and special admission policies, and don’t need to risk their lives like martial artists.
“The holographic simulation pods will scan your entire body data and give you a base score… then you will face opponents one by one, defeating one will add points… in short, try your best to make it to the end.”
Xia Long patted Fang Xing’s shoulder.
Lu Guangming also arrived at the playground at this time, his gaze sweeping across the field, pausing slightly on Fang Xing, with a hint of anticipation.
…
“Exam begins! Candidates enter in an orderly manner!”
Under the guidance of the specially appointed invigilators, Fang Xing and other candidates entered the huge warehouse and saw rows of silver-white pods, similar to cultivation pods.
He found his pod number, checked it, swiped his student ID card to open the door, and lay down inside.
Beep!
The virtual pod closed, and the surroundings instantly became silent and dark, with a hint of coldness.
Silver-blue light flashed, scanning Fang Xing’s entire body.
A series of mechanical voices appeared in his ears:
[Beep, bio-human number WYX18829649…, certified Professional ‘Martial Artist,’ candidate number 4JD7WJ50HBW6… your exam is about to begin!]
[Physical body is perfect, no hidden injuries, evaluation excellent!]
[No Federation prohibited drugs used…]
[Physical fitness, evaluation excellent!]
[Overall evaluation: S!]
[You receive a base score: 400!]
[Practical examination is about to begin. Note, any damage you suffer in the virtual world is ineffective… please choose your opponent: Martial Artist!]
“Only Martial Artists? If I were a supernatural ability user or mecha master, maybe I could choose from Martial Artists, mecha masters, or supernatural ability users?”
Fang Xing had no choice but to select Martial Artist.
[Random virtual battlefield generated!]
As the mechanical voice sounded, Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.
When he reappeared, he was already on a verdant grassland.
Opposite him stood a Martial Artist, with a tiger-like back, a wasp waist, mantis legs, his skin as crystal-clear as jade, muscles as firm as iron. He suddenly roared and attacked.
Bang!
Fang Xing raised his right palm and easily caught the punch, “First realm perfection? Who does this opponent think they’re facing?”
He slightly exerted force, and the Martial Artist was forced to retreat repeatedly, the sound of unbearable strain coming from his arm, which actually fractured!
“Hmm? The injury is lighter than I expected, is it because of the ‘Jade Skin Xuan Flesh’s’ force-dissipating effect?”
Fang Xing yawned and casually used a hand knife.
A flash of blade light, and the opponent’s head flew high, even Jade Skin Xuan Flesh couldn’t withstand the blade light!
[First level passed, bonus 100 points. Now starting the second level, random virtual battlefield generated!]
The mechanical voice sounded, this time in an ancient temple.
Opposite him was a disrobed, muscular monk whose veins were like writhing pythons, wielding an iron rod. He roared like a madman, the rod smashing down like a torrential rain!
“Second realm perfection, Willow Tendon Steel Bone, and… this is an A-level martial art—Madman’s Staff Technique?”
Fang Xing understood. Each level’s opponent seemed to represent the peak of that realm!
Second-realm Martial Artists in the Federation could learn A-level martial arts!
“But this guy’s Madman’s Staff Technique is already masterful! In other words… at least at the ‘Mastery’ level of proficiency!”
His eyelids twitched. He knew that among all the Yucai High School seniors, except for himself, everyone would be killed with one blow, no second strike needed!
“This College Entrance Examination is pretty difficult…”
Fang Xing sighed, extending his palm to grasp the rain of blows.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out, like striking a leather bag.
He probed and retracted his palm, actually snatching away the iron rod.
The monk roared, fearlessly charging forward, his shoulders, elbows, fists, feet, and even teeth becoming deadly weapons.
A-level martial art—Crazy Eighteen Strikes!
Fang Xing casually swung the rod, shattering the monk’s skull.
[Second level passed, bonus 100 points. Now starting the third level, random virtual battlefield generated!]
The mechanical voice sounded again.
“Only a hundred points bonus? Same as before. But that’s how exams are; after reaching a certain score, it becomes very difficult to increase even by one or two points…”
Fang Xing thought nonchalantly, “My Martial Dao score is already 600 points, enough for university entrance?”
“When Gu Yun takes the exam later, her skills are hard to say, but her realm is at least Jadeite… This level’s guardian can only be a second-realm perfection, even if her martial arts skills are slightly worse, she can still slowly grind it out relying on her realm… this is a university seed.”
As he pondered, the scene changed again, and he appeared in the ruins of a city.
“The third level guardian should be at Jadeite perfection; as for martial arts skills… Jadeite-level Martial Artists on Blue Star have the qualification to learn S-level martial arts; whether they can learn it successfully is another matter, but there’s a possibility…”
Fang Xing’s expression became slightly serious.
Bang!
At that moment, a wall in the ruins exploded, revealing a black-clothed swordsman.
His inner energy was overflowing, vaguely gathering, forming the illusion of a deity.
In his hand was a three-foot-long black sword that seemed to absorb even the surrounding light.
The sword now flew out like a dragon, like an immortal descending from the heavens, imposing and magnificent, carrying a Dao intent of true martial arts subjugating demons!
S-level martial art—True Martial Subduing Demons Sword!
The sword light exploded, like a black dragon, killing Fang Xing with lightning speed, yet also like raging waves crashing against coastal rocks, the countless sword energies shattered, revealing a large hand emitting golden light.
Fang Xing flicked his finger, the black sword flew high, and with a gentle tap, his finger landed on the black-clothed swordsman’s forehead.
A point of crimson appeared on the swordsman’s forehead, and he fell backward…
