Chapter 18: Final Exams (Please collect!)
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the time for final exams.
High schools on Aquila Star also have exams in June, followed by a two-month vacation.
“Finally… After the exam, I’ll no longer be a first-year high school student, but a second-year student.”
Fang Xing didn’t go to the other world last night, but chose to rest in his apartment complex.
When the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom, he slowly opened his eyes, focusing his attention on his attribute panel:
【Name: Fang Xing】
【Age: 16】
【Profession: Martial Artist】
【First Realm: Flesh (Refine Flesh: 86/100)】
【Military Boxing Twelve Styles: 27/100 (Proficient)】
【Great Dragon Stake: 1/200 (Mastered)】
【Gate of All Heavens (Charging…)】
…
“Qi Blood Pill truly is the best auxiliary pill for the cultivation of innate martial artists… Just one bottle, and I’m close to completing the first realm.”
“Even the wealthy on Aquila Star might not be as extravagant as me…”
A hint of joy appeared on Fang Xing’s face.
“The ‘drug-taking’ method is indeed reasonable. Originally, before I had pills, I thought that completing the flesh refinement at the end of the semester would be the best I could do. Now, I’m almost at the peak of flesh refinement…”
“The barrier to advancing from the first realm to the second realm, as long as I have enough Qi Blood Pills, is most likely not a problem…”
“And the Great Dragon Stake, I’ve successfully entered the third stage that Teacher Xia Long mentioned, even if my Jade Skin is exposed, it doesn’t matter…”
His hard training during this period yielded enormous results.
In the foreseeable future, his cultivation speed will be even faster!
Passing the high school entrance exam and going to university was no longer a problem for Fang Xing.
The key was to get into a good university!
“The best university in the Federation should be Blue Star University, located on Blue Star. Besides that, Saint Armor University and Nine Swords Academy, located in the cosmic secret realm, are also top-tier universities…”
Fang Xing silently recalled relevant information.
The original owner’s biggest dream was to buy a house on Blue Star, and secondly to get into a university; he didn’t dare to dream about which school, any university would do.
But Fang Xing naturally knew how important getting into university was!
A leap in social class, all depends on this!
Even though he had another world, getting into university could help him better utilize the resources of that world.
To say nothing else, he could first establish a top-tier biological research institute to study the pills from the other world, eliminating the need to risk his life next to the infirmary.
Although he had poison test strips and lab rats, swallowing pills still involved risk for Fang Xing.
And his life was clearly more precious than anything.
After getting up and washing, Fang Xing habitually began the Great Dragon Stake.
The ‘Mastered’ level Great Dragon Stake felt completely different from the ‘Proficient’ level.
If the ‘Proficient’ level Great Dragon Stake merely gave him a sense of effortless flow, with unique charm in every move, then…
The ‘Mastered’ level Great Dragon Stake was no longer him adapting to the skill; instead, he automatically modified several aspects to make it even more suitable for himself!
It’s known that everyone’s physique is different. Although the ‘Great Dragon Stake’ is claimed to be perfectly optimized by a supercomputer, the template is still for the average person.
What Fang Xing cultivates now could be called the ‘Fang Xing special edition’, completely tailored to him as a template, the effectiveness and progress were incomparable.
“With this level of Great Dragon Stake, no wonder it can refine ‘Jade Skin’… Although I already achieved it.”
After completing the stake, feeling the coordination of his flesh and skin, Fang Xing suddenly reached out and touched his face.
The next moment, the flesh on his face actually began to bulge.
His cheeks became fatter, his eyebrows longer… in an instant, he transformed from a youthful teenager into a gloomy-looking man in his twenties!
“After refining most of my muscles, controlling my facial muscles and skin, I can easily change my appearance…”
This is an essential skill for home travel, murder, and arson!
…
Yucai High School.
“Classmates, we’ll start with the written exams today. Everyone must do your best.”
Teacher Lan Fei changed into another professional outfit, black stockings, high heels, and glasses, giving her a special elite aura: “Also… remember not to cheat; the punishment is severe.”
‘She seems even more alluring… My Qi Blood has increased too quickly recently; my yang energy is a bit strong…’
Fang Xing remained expressionless, picked up the test papers, and answered quickly.
High school exams cover many subjects.
Universal Cosmic Language, Interstellar Survival, Evil God Species Encyclopedia, Various Weapon Maintenance and Repair, Battlefield First Aid…
Each subject has a test paper, but they all need to be completed in one morning, with about half an hour for each subject.
Rustle!
But for these high school students, this was commonplace.
For a time, the classroom was filled only with the sounds of writing.
Even the seemingly unreliable Liu Wei was writing furiously.
As martial artists, their wrist strength was amazing, their writing speed was fast, and their minds were active…
Even so, it was quite difficult to finish a test paper within half an hour.
After all, the difficulty of the test paper was designed to assess their abilities, perfectly challenging their limits, to select the most outstanding students!
As for cheating?
The classroom was under comprehensive surveillance, making it basically impossible.
“Luckily, I’ve seen this question…”
“Hmm, this question is also relatively simple…”
“The last one is a bit troublesome; the calculation is somewhat complex…”
Fang Xing wrote like flying.
As a late-stage first realm expert, his high martial arts cultivation further supported this high-intensity answering.
“Time’s up!”
It was quickly noon, Fang Xing put down his electronic pen, left the classroom, and prepared to buy something for lunch.
‘I have to say, although the ingredients from the other world are more delicious and nutritious… my cooking skills are average.’
‘In terms of taste alone, the cuisine of the Blue Star Federation is still superior… not to mention that I’m a poor guy, and haven’t truly experienced the highly nutritious medicinal food on Blue Star; it’s said that it combines both taste and nutrition…’
‘In fact, Aquila Star is just an ordinary planet… even the richest person on the planet is nothing in the Blue Star Federation.’
He ate a meat roll while looking at his classmates.
Bai Lang, Yi An, Qian Xun, Ouyang Qianqian, Bai Liany, Cole, Liu Wei…
“Huh?”
Whether it was an illusion or not, Fang Xing felt that Liu Wei today seemed… more confident?
“Fang Xing…”
Cole strode over: “This afternoon’s sparring match… I look forward to fighting you.”
The afternoon sparring match used an elimination system; as long as two people won continuously, they would eventually meet.
In the afternoon, all the teachers gathered in the school, and Xia Long was among them.
“The first-year sparring assessment will now begin! There are ten rings. Students whose names are called, come up. No protective gear, weapons, or potions are allowed… everything else is permitted.”
Xia Long’s voice was like a bell, shaking the surrounding air, then revealing a hint of a cruel smile: “You can go all out, let’s see if we, the teachers at the fourth realm and above, can rescue you in time… this aspect has no restrictions, but don’t expect high marks for morality and conduct…”
‘This seems permissive, but it’s actually a warning.’
Fang Xing thought to himself upon seeing this scene.
Soon, the match list was announced.
He scanned it and found something fishy.
‘The top seeds were all separated into different groups… normally, they would only meet in the finals.’
Fang Xing looked at the large electronic screen, nodded and shook his head: “But it’s just a school-wide ranking; it’s actually quite crude… this is not bad either.”
“Ring one, first group, Dilys versus Cao Xiong!”
“Ring two, Qing Yun versus Hong Ke!”
…
Soon, the martial arts teachers took their places on the rings, starting today’s competition.
Before Fang Xing could see how Liu Wei and the other students were doing, he was called up.
“Ring eight, Fang Xing versus Phoenix!”
When Fang Xing arrived at the ring, he saw a red-haired girl opposite him.
She wore a black bodysuit, revealing her curvaceous figure. Combined with her azure eyes like the sea and her milky white and delicate skin, she was undoubtedly a great beauty.
“It’s her, the class flower of Class 4…”
He was startled, and bowed first: “Phoenix, please advise!”
“Fang Xing, please!”
After Phoenix bowed, she immediately attacked!
Slap!
Her hands were like a phoenix spreading its wings, tearing through the air.
Military Boxing Twelve Styles—Folding Wing Hand!
Military boxing is a required martial arts subject in high school, encompassing a wide range of techniques, including fists, palms, legs, body movements, and fingers.
Phoenix’s Folding Wing Hand initially looked ordinary, but there was a sense of effortless flow, clearly showing a deep mastery of this technique.
Fang Xing’s body bent, and he narrowly avoided this strike.
“Good kid…”
On a nearby ring, Xia Long glanced at this fight, and couldn’t help but chuckle: “Not only is his stake work solid, but his Military Boxing is probably quite advanced…”
Fang Xing dodged the attack, preparing to end the fight quickly.
He slightly raised his right foot, like a giant axe, tearing through the air.
Phoenix felt the sharp intent rushing toward her, and a shocked expression appeared on her face.
Battle Axe Leg!
Bang!
She barely managed to overlap her arms, forming a cross in front of her chest, then her whole body flew backward, landing on the edge of the ring, and turning over to stand up, but her right arm hung limply.
“Don’t you surrender?”
Fang Xing frowned. Although he had held back a lot of his strength, her right arm should be broken.
In the face of such a gap, rational surrender was the best option.
“Surrender? For us bio-humans, every point is very important, how can we surrender?”
A hint of madness appeared in Phoenix’s eyes, her remaining left hand stabbed forward like a spear.
‘Hmm? It seems that she also used some kind of hypnotic or self-destructive secret technique?’
Fang Xing felt a little sad when he saw this.
For bio-humans like them, it was indeed necessary to do their utmost to seize every opportunity!
Even in defeat, expressing an unyielding spirit was also important; it might lead to a higher score later!
Perhaps this wasn’t a big deal for natural humans, but for bio-humans, a difference of one point could determine their future!
Thank you Shizaki Kurisu-ei and Most Love Xiaoqin Alliance Leader for their rewards. Extra chapters will be added after the serialization.
