I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 705 Xia Yuan's New Identity
Just as Lin Hao made his vow to the starry sky, Chen Jing was sitting in her father's car, driving through the dazzling city.

The car was quiet, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the training hall.

"Did Teacher Zhao call you about the college admission recommendation?"

Mr. Chen, who was driving, spoke calmly, but his eyes were filled with expectation.

"Ah."

Chen Jing gazed at the fleeting street scenes outside the window.

"For the early admission to Seoul Martial Arts University, Teacher Zhao said that my qualifications are very suitable and the school can give me this spot."

Seoul Martial Arts University is one of the four extraordinary universities in the entire Hanju region, ranking second only to Gangseong Extraordinary University.

As its name suggests, Seoul Martial Arts University is a combat-oriented school.

Although it is not one of the top 30 universities, it would rank around 50th or 60th among the 150 most outstanding universities in the world.

Last year's cutoff score reached 87.8, making it the dream school for countless combat-oriented students in Hanzhou.

As for Jiangcheng Chaofan University, its admission scores are simply too high.

The minimum admission score was 94.

It is a top university ranked second in the entire Kyushu and fifth in the world.

Last year, only the top two people in the entire city of Jiangcheng passed this score.

Ultimately, the second-place student went to Jiangcheng Chaofan University, while the first-place student was admitted to Jiuzhou Chaofan University with a score of 95.3.

Kyushu Extraordinary University is the former Kyoto Extraordinary University.

It was only because it moved to the old site of Lingxiao Academy that it changed its name.

Currently, the best university in Kyoto is Kyoto University, which ranks sixth in the entire Kyushu region and is also a comprehensive university.

For students in Jiangcheng, being able to get into Chaofan University is already an extraordinary achievement!
After all, of the more than 200 people who were admitted to university last year, fewer than 50 were ultimately admitted to the top 30 universities.

The remaining 160-plus people could only go to ordinary universities.

Now that Chen Jing has been admitted to Seoul Martial Arts University, ranked second in Hanzhou, ahead of schedule, she will definitely be the envy of countless people.

A flicker of joy crossed Mr. Chen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"What do you think?"

Chen Jing did not answer immediately.

Being admitted through the guaranteed admission means you don't need to take the college entrance exam. As long as you pass the internal test of Seoul Martial Arts University, you can directly secure a spot that countless people would fight tooth and nail to get into.

This should have been something to celebrate, but she felt a strange sense of melancholy.

The car drove into an upscale residential area in the west of the city and stopped in front of a detached villa.

Chen Jing's mother was already waiting at the door, her face beaming with smiles.

"Jingjing, Teacher Zhao just called and said that the director of the admissions office of Seoul Martial Arts University will be coming to Jiangcheng next week and would like to meet you in person!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere at home became lively.

The parents began discussing what to prepare and how to make a good impression on the admissions director.

Chen Jing smiled and agreed, but no one knew what she was thinking.

After dinner, she returned to her spacious bedroom.

Unlike Lin Hao's simple room, her room was more like a professional training room.

The walls are covered with illustrations of various weapons, and the bookshelves are filled with professional books such as "Detailed Explanation of Kendo" and "Interstellar Topography".

In the corner, there is also a newly developed portable weight adjuster.

She didn't turn on the light, but walked to the French windows.
From this angle, you can overlook most of the night view of the city.

Countless lights twinkled in the night.

She remembered what Teacher Zhao Gang had said to her when he stayed behind with her alone:
"Based on last year's situation, even if you don't participate in the guaranteed admission program, you will most likely be able to get into Seoul Martial Arts University."

"But this year's cutoff score will definitely be higher than last year's, and the assessment may also be more difficult."

"So the school gave you its only guaranteed admission spot."

Chen Jing was overjoyed when she heard this.

After all, being able to enter a super-powerful university without taking the college entrance exam, and even Seoul Martial Arts University at that, is undoubtedly a huge surprise.

But after leaving Teacher Zhao, Chen Jing's thoughts gradually changed.

While being admitted without taking the entrance exam is a good thing, it also dashed her hopes of getting into one of the top thirty prestigious universities.

However, if she doesn't choose the guaranteed admission option, then according to Teacher Zhao, her current score might not be enough to get into Seoul National University this year.

For this reason, Chen Jing hesitated for a moment.

After a while.

She turned on her computer and pulled up her academic performance analysis chart.

Cultural score: 91; Practical skills score: 88; Physical fitness score: 88.

Very impressive results, but there's still a gap between us and the top 30 universities.

If she accepts the guaranteed admission, she doesn't need to worry about it.

If she refuses, she will have to raise those scores by two points in the remaining five months.

One or two points may not seem like much, but for someone who has already reached this level, every step is incredibly difficult.

at this time.

Her phone on the table suddenly vibrated; it was a message from her private instructor at the martial arts gym:

[Chen Jing, considering the guaranteed admission to Seoul Martial Arts University, let's adjust the upcoming training plan, focusing on martial arts fundamentals and practical combat skills.]

Chen Jing replied with a simple "okay," her feelings complicated.

She is undoubtedly lucky in this era.

Her privileged family background allowed her to receive excellent training from a young age, including guidance from extraordinary individuals at the martial arts school.

But this good fortune can sometimes become an invisible pressure.

She wanted to live up to the investment and wanted to go further than others.

Chen Jing took a deep breath, shut down the computer, and walked to the weight adjuster in the center of the room.

She adjusted the weight to the maximum and began practicing "Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon," a pose she had learned in class that day.

With the added weight of tens of kilograms, every movement became incredibly difficult, and her training clothes were quickly soaked with sweat.

But her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

At 11 p.m., Chen Jing opened a new document on her personal terminal.

The title is:
"Giving up the application for admission without examination and subsequent sprint plan".

Making this decision was difficult.

But she knew that if she chose to settle for the status quo now...

Sometime in the future, when she looks up at the stars, she will surely regret not choosing the more difficult path today.

Top-tier universities are simply not on the same level as other universities.

The former have access to more resources, stronger teachers, and more intense competition among themselves.

Only by entering the most prestigious university can she realize her dream of reaching for the stars.

She also hopes that one day she can enter the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road and compete with the most outstanding geniuses of all mankind.

They could even become legendary figures like Grandmaster Qin Xue from textbooks, or even a Martial Master.

That kind of future is what she longs for.

After a while.

The document was carefully preserved.

Chen Jing did not immediately send an application to give up her guaranteed admission.

She still needs to prove through her actions that this decision was not made on a whim.

She stood in front of the weight adjuster again.

This time, however, she didn't adjust the weight, but rather the training mode.

The screen displayed the words "Extreme Breakthrough Mode," a territory she had never attempted before.

[Mode activated! Please complete 100 sets of standard actions within 30 minutes. Failure to do so will trigger a microcurrent warning.]

As the mechanical beeping sounded, Chen Jing's eyes sharpened.

This is not ordinary training; it is a dual test of willpower and potential.

Group 1, Group 2
Her movements remained standard, but her breathing had begun to quicken.

Sweat dripped down his chin, leaving dark marks on the training mat.

By the twentieth set, the muscles began to protest with soreness.

She recalled Teacher Zhao's words: "Martial arts training is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

In the thirty-fifth group, her arms began to tremble.

But what came to mind were the top-ranked geniuses on the Myriad Heavenly Road leaderboard.

Augustus, Gao Fenghua, Qi Hui.
By the fiftieth set, Chen Jing's consciousness was beginning to blur, and she could only perform the movements instinctively.

"I can still hold on."

She gritted her teeth and forced out those words.

In the seventieth set, the stinging sensation of the microcurrent first came through, reminding her that her movements were beginning to distort.

But Chen Jing didn't stop; instead, a smile appeared on her lips.

This real pain made her feel like she was truly pushing her limits.

In the eighty-fifth group, her vision was already blurred, and she was only able to keep going by muscle memory.

At that moment, a sentence once spoken by a grandmaster I had met at the Tiangang Martial Arts School suddenly echoed clearly in my ears:

True genius is not about being exceptionally gifted, but about being able to persevere for just one more second when everyone else has given up.

The cultivation of extraordinary individuals relies heavily on willpower; with sufficient willpower, miracles can be created!

"Group 99, Group 100!"

When the last movement was completed, Chen Jing collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Sweat soaked her entire body, every muscle was groaning, but her eyes shone with an astonishing light.

After resting for a while, she struggled to get up and checked her training data.

[Limit Breakthrough Completion: 100%]

"I really did it!"

Look at the numbers displayed on the screen.

At that moment, all of Chen Jing's hesitation vanished.

She walked quickly to her desk and pressed the "send" button without hesitation.

The email announcing the withdrawal of the application for admission to university vanished into the depths of the internet like a streak of light.

She then began to refine the "Follow-up Sprint Plan" in detail.

This time, her strokes were exceptionally firm:

Phase 1 (2 months): Daily extreme training to achieve a score of over 90 points in actual combat.

[Phase Two (2 months): Participate in the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Newcomer Tournament to accumulate practical experience.]

[Phase Three (1 month): Full-length mock exams, target score of 91 or above.]

She paused here, then added a line at the end of the proposal:

Having made the choice, one should brave wind and rain to forge ahead.

After doing all this, she went to the window again.

The stars in the night sky seemed brighter than usual.
……

The next day.

Inside the office.

"Chen Jing, are you sure you want to give up your guaranteed admission spot?"

Zhao Gang put down his teacup and stared sharply at the student standing in front of his desk.

He simply couldn't understand this decision.

How many students have dreamed of this opportunity, only to have it so easily given up?
"Yes, Teacher Zhao."

Chen Jing stood ramrod straight, her voice clear and firm:
"I've thought about it for a long time, but I still want to give it a try!"

Zhao Gang frowned slightly; he naturally understood what Chen Jing meant.

The goal is to get into one of the top thirty exceptional universities.

Even the top scorer at Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School was still a little short, let alone Chen Jing!

Most importantly, there are less than five months left until the college entrance examination.

"You should be well aware that the number of applicants this year is nearly 20% higher than last year. With your current grades, you would have been a shoo-in for Seoul Martial Arts University last year, but this year..."

He paused, his tone becoming serious:
"You might not even get into Seoul Martial Arts University, and then it will be too late to regret it!"

A brief silence fell over the office. Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a resolute shadow on Chen Jing's face.

"Teacher Zhao, I completed the extreme breakthrough training of the weight adjuster last night."

Chen Jing suddenly said.

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment:
"Which pattern? How many sets did you complete?"

"One hundred sets, all completed."

"what?"

Zhao Gang suddenly stood up.
"Do you know what the completion rate of that model is? Only one person in the entire school has ever completed it!"

"I know."

Chen Jing raised her head, her gaze intense.

"So I believe there is still room for improvement. Five months is enough for me to break through to 90 points."

Zhao Gang sat down again and looked intently at the student he had always thought highly of.

After a long while, he sighed softly:

"Since you've made your decision, I respect your choice."

He opened the drawer and took out a bottle of primordial potion.

"Take it!"

"Teacher Zhao, I can't accept this!"

Chen Jing quickly shook her head.

She naturally recognized the original medicine.

Even with her family's wealth, she had only ever taken one bottle of the Origin Potion.

Unfortunately, the Origin Potion cannot be bought with money alone.

The bottle she was taking was bought from someone else through her father's connections.

Now that Teacher Zhao has given her a bottle of Origin Medicine, Chen Jing naturally cannot accept it.

"Alright, consider it a loan from me."

Zhao Gang smiled and waved his hand.

"You can return it to me when you become a superhuman."

"Besides, a bottle of Origin Potion doesn't really affect me much."

That is absolutely true.

As a martial arts teacher at a key high school, Zhao Gang's cultivation level is at the fourth stage of Body Tempering, and he earns a full one hundred contribution points every year.

A bottle of the original potion really won't have much of an impact.

On the other hand, he also wanted to make an investment.

With Chen Jing's scores, even if she can't get into a top university, she should still be able to get into a regular university.

Under such circumstances, they will inevitably become extraordinary in the future.

He might even become a grandmaster.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Jing completes one hundred sets of extreme training with the weight adjuster.

That's why he decided to help Chen Jing.

Otherwise, Chen Jing's grades alone would not be enough to persuade him to provide the original medicine.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao!"

Chen Jing accepted the original medicine and bowed deeply.

Watching her retreating figure, Zhao Gang murmured to himself:
"This child might really be able to create miracles."

Thirty top-tier universities—none of them, Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School, have ever been admitted.

Well, under the new era education system, I only experienced three years of college entrance examinations.

"Teacher Zhao, you think highly of Chen Jing?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Teacher Xia!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang immediately came to his senses.

The person who came was also a martial arts teacher at the school.

His name is Xia Yuan, and he has the strength of the fifth level of Body Tempering.

He is the strongest superhuman in Jiangcheng and serves as the martial arts teacher in Class 1 of the third year of high school.

He is also one of only three people in Jiangcheng at the mid-stage of Body Tempering.

However, Xia Yuan had only been at the school for a short time, only half a year.

Xia Yuan walked slowly into the office and said with a smile:

"The primordial potion in her hand, was it given to her by you?"

Zhao Gang nodded and poured Xia Yuan a cup of tea:

"Teacher Xia, do you think she has a chance?"

"He is indeed a promising talent, and his willpower is no less than Chen Mo's."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang smiled and waved his hand.

"No one can compare to Chen Mo from your class."

"In my opinion, Chen Mo is very likely to become the first person from our Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School to be admitted to one of the top thirty universities."

At this point, Zhao Gang couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher Xia truly deserves to be called a genius who broke through to the fifth level of Body Tempering before the age of thirty, and his teaching level is also so excellent!"

He meant it sincerely.

Chen Mo was unremarkable in his second year of high school, but under Xia Yuan's guidance, his grades improved like a rocket.

In just over half a year, he rose from over 80th in the whole school to first place, and even became the only person outside of No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School to enter the top 100 in the city.

Moreover, Class 1's overall performance was the best in the school.

Of the more than fifty students in the class, nine out of ten are in the top one hundred in the whole school.

Xia Yuan has a high chance of being selected as one of Jiangcheng's outstanding teachers this year.

Once selected as an outstanding teacher, you will not only receive contribution points as a reward, but your subsequent benefits will also be improved.

"When it comes to teaching ability, Teacher Xia truly impresses me."

Zhao Gang said sincerely,

“I taught Chen Mo when he was in his second year of high school. He has talent, but he always lacked that bit of drive.”

"I never expected that under your guidance, they would be completely transformed in just six months."

Xia Yuan smiled and waved his hand:
“Every student is a rough gem; the key is to find the right way to polish them. Chen Mo doesn’t lack talent, but confidence. I just helped him find his own path.”

Okay, that sounds a bit untrue!
If Xia Yuan taught any pig, it would become a top genius.

Suddenly, Zhao Gang looked at Xia Yuan expectantly and asked:

"Ms. Xia, I wonder if you could teach a few classes in our class?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing."

As Zhao Gang spoke, he took out two more bottles of Origin Medicine from the drawer and pushed them over.

Xia Yuan glanced at it, but didn't immediately take it. Instead, he revealed a meaningful smile:

"Teacher Zhao, you're really willing to spend a lot of money on this class of students."

"It's all for the children."

Zhao Gang said frankly:
"With the college entrance exam just around the corner, every point counts. Besides..."

He looked out the window at the students of Class 3-3 who were training:

"There are some promising students in this class. If they can get your guidance, they might really be able to create miracles."

"There's no need for the original medicine; it's a minor matter."

Xia Yuan pushed the primordial potion back.

"How about this."

“Starting next week, I can come and provide guidance during the practical training sessions every Wednesday.”

"However, my training methods may be quite strict, and I hope the students can stick to it."

"That's great!"

Zhao Gang was overjoyed.

“It’s good to be strict; these kids these days just lack experience.”

As the two were talking, the school bell rang throughout the campus.

"Teacher Zhao, I have to go now."

As Xia Yuan spoke, he nodded to Zhao Gang and then turned and left the office.

Zhao Gang stood at the office door, watching Xia Yuan's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, a relieved smile on his face.

It was indeed a rare opportunity for the students of Class 3, Grade 3 to be able to invite this person to substitute for the class.

……

the other side.

Xia Yuan's figure suddenly disappeared in the corridor.

The next moment, he appeared in the village courtyard.

"Teacher, you're back!"

Hua Changfeng was not surprised to see Xia Yuan suddenly appear.

Xia Yuan has frequently disappeared over the past six months.

Sometimes they disappear for several days at a time.

However, since Xia Yuan didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

"Ah."

Xia Yuan nodded and looked at Wan Chen in the distance.

"You've broken through the second barrier of flesh and blood, not bad!"

He returned precisely because he sensed Wan Chen's breakthrough.

Otherwise, if the aura of the Unity Realm is allowed to dissipate, it will cause considerable trouble.

Xia Yuan did not tell anyone about his appointment as a martial arts instructor at Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School.

This was just a passing fancy for him.

His dream was to become a teacher, but he failed to obtain a teaching certificate.

At that time, many high schools in Jiangcheng were recruiting martial arts teachers, and Xia Yuan applied for the job out of interest and to fulfill his long-held dream.

The reason I went to Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School was because it was the high school I had attended.

This is also a way of giving back to my alma mater.

Of course, Xia Yuan did not act too specially; he simply applied for the job as an ordinary fifth-level body tempering transcendent.

When teaching those students, I simply let things take their natural course.

But in any case, the effectiveness of his teaching certainly far surpasses that of other martial arts instructors who train the body.

This is why Class One and Chen Mo were able to improve so quickly.

Based on Chen Mo's rate of improvement, he will definitely be able to surpass the admission scores of thirty top universities in the college entrance examination five months from now.

As for whether I can get into the top ten universities, that's uncertain.

Unless Xia Yuan is willing to provide special guidance.

But that's going too far.

Being able to get into the Extraordinary University is enough to change their destiny.

A moment later, Wan Chen finally completed his breakthrough.

Xia Yuan casually removed the barrier and said to Hua Changfeng, who was standing to the side:
"Today is a day to celebrate! Let's buy some good wine and food, and invite Ding Hai and Captain Zhang over for a meal together!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng's face lit up with joy.

The teacher is in a good mood today, so it seems she won't get scolded.

Over the past few years, he has developed psychological trauma.

I feel like I'm going to get scolded as soon as the teacher speaks.

Watching Hua Changfeng's departing figure, Xia Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

This guy might have a hard time breaking through to the True Spirit Realm.
