High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen turned to the first page and glanced at the title.

[Psionic Theory]

What is the nature of psychic energy? Please briefly describe its discovery process and its impact on the martial arts era. (10 points)

What is the relationship between Qi and Blood Power and Spiritual Energy? Please explain from the perspectives of both martial artists and those with supernatural abilities. (15 points)

What is the formation mechanism of the life core? What are the differences between first-order, second-order, and third-order life cores? (10 points)

……

He smiled.

These questions were too easy for him.

During his time outside the city, he dealt with spiritual energy, blood and qi, and strange beasts every day.

Every item in the system shop involves the use of psionic energy. He had already thoroughly mastered these theoretical concepts.

Not to mention, he is now a second-tier ability user with powerful mental strength, and his memory and comprehension abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

He began answering the questions.

The pen tip flew across the paper, and neat lines of handwriting flowed out.

The essence of psychic energy is a fundamental energy in the universe, which arrived on Earth a hundred years ago with a meteorite.

It can resonate with cells within an organism, stimulating potential and promoting biological evolution...

Qi and blood energy is a special energy formed when spiritual energy enters the human body and combines with blood and meridians.

It is the source of a martial artist's power. Supernatural abilities, on the other hand, are a combination of psychic and spiritual power, manifesting as control over various elements…

The life core is the mark of an advanced creature, formed by the condensation of vital energy and spiritual power at the heart...

He wrote incredibly fast, almost without thinking.

The other test takers were either staring blankly, biting their pens, sweating profusely, or scribbling on their draft paper.

Song Chen, on the other hand, had already turned to the second page.

[Mythical Beast Encyclopedia]

Please draw a diagram of the mutated armored rhinoceros and label its weaknesses. (15 points)

What are the habits of the mutant lynx? How can it be tracked and hunted? (15 points)

What are the attack methods of the second-tier mutated giant eagle? How can you defend against it? (10 points)

……

He laughed again.

He had not only studied these strange beasts, but had also killed them.

The armored rhinoceros's weak point is below its neck, where its armor is thinnest.

He drew very quickly, even capturing the muscle texture of the armored rhinoceros clearly.

Lynxes are skilled at stealth and ambush, and prefer to be active at night.

When tracking, look for claw marks on the ground, scratches on trees, and the freshness of the droppings. When hunting, try to slow its speed as much as possible...

As for the giant eagle, he had just been chased yesterday, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.

There are three main attack methods: diving claw attack, aerial swooping attack, and wing flapping attack.

The best way to defend against it is to hide in the dense forest, preventing it from taking advantage of its speed.

If aerial combat is unavoidable, its balance must be disrupted...

He wrote more and more smoothly and faster.

Two hours later, he put down his pen.

I've answered all the questions.

He checked it over to make sure nothing was missing, then raised his hand to signal.

"Teacher, I'm handing in my paper."

The proctor paused for a moment.

"Submit the paper? There are still three hours left, aren't you going to check it again?"

"I'm done answering."

The proctor walked over, picked up his exam paper, and glanced at it.

Then he froze.

The exam paper was covered with dense writing.

Every question was answered thoroughly, with neat handwriting and clear organization. In particular, the illustrations of the exotic beasts were drawn so vividly that even the details were clearly marked.

He flipped through the previous psionic theories again, and found the same thing.

The proctor looked up at Song Chen with a complicated expression.

"You are... Song Chen?"

"Yes."

The proctor took a deep breath.

"Go out and prepare well for the real battle the day after tomorrow."

"We hope you can bring honor to our Anning City."

Song Chen nodded, got up and left.

"I will."

As he walked out of the classroom, he heard a low gasp behind him.

"Is he Song Chen?"

"Heavenly Thunder Blade?"

"You've already handed in your paper so quickly..."

"monster……"

He shook his head and continued walking out.

The corridor was empty, and the sunlight streamed in through the windows, making it exceptionally bright.

He stood by the window, looking out at the playground.

On the playground, some parents were already waiting, gathered in twos and threes, nervously discussing something.

He suddenly remembered himself in his past life.

Back then, he also went through the college entrance examination, doing practice questions until late at night every day and memorizing vocabulary until he felt like throwing up, all in order to score a few more points and get into a good university.

And now? His battlefield is no longer the examination hall.

Instead, it was outside the city, in the wilderness, in ruins overrun by strange beasts.

He smiled and continued walking out.

The results of the cultural exams were announced at 5 p.m.

The technology of this era is far more advanced than that of the previous one.

The entire process of scanning exam papers, grading automatically, and compiling scores was completed within a few hours.

Song Chen was having dinner at home when his communicator suddenly rang.

He picked it up and took a look.

[Martial Arts College Entrance Examination Academic Score: 198]

[Psionic Theory: 48 points]

[Mythical Beast Encyclopedia: 50 points]

[Combat Strategy: 60 points]

[Basic Culture: 40 points]

Total Score: 198/200

[Ranked #1 in the city]

Li Xiuying leaned over for a look, then froze.

"198 points?"

She rubbed her eyes and looked at it again.

It's still 198 points.

"Son, you got 198 points on your academic test?"

Song Chen nodded: "It's alright."

Li Xiuying hugged him tightly, laughing and crying at the same time.

"198 points and you call that 'okay'? You kid..."

Song Zhengye held his wine glass, took a slow sip, and smiled broadly, but said nothing.

The communicator rang again.

It's a push notification.

[Explanation of the Scoring System for This Year's Martial Arts College Entrance Examination]

The total score is 1000 points, consisting of three parts.

[I. Qi and Blood Value: 200 points total. Each point is out of 10. 1 point is deducted for every 0.1 point below the target value; no points are added for any value above the target value. If the total Qi and Blood value is below 0.8, the score for this item is 0.]

[II. The cultural examination is out of 200 points, and will be converted to a maximum score of 200 points based on the actual score.]

[III. Practical Assessment: 600 points total. Participants will hunt exotic beasts at the test site. Scoring will be based on the number and level of beasts hunted.]

[The three scores are added together to arrive at the final total score, and admission is based on the ranking of the total score.]

Song Chen looked at the message thoughtfully.

His Qi and Blood value is 15.0, which is a perfect score. It's a pity that it doesn't increase if it exceeds that, otherwise it could be several tens of points higher.

With an academic score of 198, the total score is 398, which is a very good starting point.

The practical assessment is out of 600 points.

I don't know how many points I can get.

He looked up at the night sky outside the window.

There, the stars shone brightly.

The practical assessment is the day after tomorrow; the real challenge hasn't even begun yet.

Then the phone vibrated again.

Song Chen picked it up and saw that it was a voice message from Lin Qingxue.

"Song Chen, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to treat you to dinner, as a way of... celebrating you getting first place in the city!"

"The actual competition is the day after tomorrow, so let's relax and unwind tomorrow since we have a day off."

Song Chen stared at the message for a moment, stunned.

Eating? That's a bit sudden.

Just as he was wondering how to reply, another message came through.

"Um... um, if you... if you don't have time, just pretend... just pretend I didn't say anything..."

Her shyness and embarrassment were clearly audible in her voice.

"This girl... is quite cute."

Song Chen thought for a moment and replied with two words.

"OK."

Li Xiuying leaned closer, and her eyes lit up when she saw the name on the phone.

"Lin Qingxue? Is that the little girl who gave you the knife?"

He felt somewhat helpless.

"mom……"

Li Xiuying grinned from ear to ear: "Go on, go on, eat your food properly, and stop thinking about cultivation!"

Song Zhengye slowly took a sip of his drink and said, "Since it's a female classmate treating you to dinner, dress nicely."

"Not every girl is as blind as your mother."

These words ignited Li Xiuying's anger.
