Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

"gather!"

Suddenly, a serious voice rang out at the edge of the training field.

Everyone turned around and saw a mature woman with a high ponytail striding over.

It was their class teacher, Yang Xue.

Yang Xue held considerable authority among the students in Class One. Upon seeing that it was her, the students, who had been listless, immediately began to line up and stand at attention.

By the time Yang Xue walked up to them, they had already lined up in perfect order.

And less than ten seconds had passed.

After Yang Xue stopped, she scanned the room from left to right before speaking calmly:

"With just over ten days until the national martial arts exam, the school has decided to organize a final preliminary test."

"Your scores in this preliminary test will be ranked alongside those of tens of millions of students from hundreds of high schools across the entire Tianhe Base City."

"If any of you fail to reach the top 500,000 in the college entrance examination, the school will refuse to recommend you for the exam and will advise you to withdraw from the school in order to ensure the college entrance examination pass rate."

"Did you all understand?"

"If you understand, then get ready. Everyone must be present tomorrow. Anyone who is absent will not be allowed to participate in the national martial arts examination..."

Yang Xue left as soon as she finished speaking, her steps hurried, but the students in Class 1 who remained there were in an uproar.

"Seriously? Even at the very end, there's a preliminary test?"

"Not only that, but this diagnostic test is not just ranking students among tens of thousands of students in one school. It's comparing them to tens of millions of senior high school students in the entire Tianhe Base City."

"Although our No. 1 High School is very strong, other schools should not be underestimated. How easy is it to be among the top 500,000 out of tens of millions of students?"

"I heard that Tianchen Noble School has produced a prodigy this year. He already has a strength of over 4,000 kilograms and has reached the advanced martial apprentice level. He's definitely going to be the number one in the entire base city."

"First... oh my god, I don't even dare to think about it. I just hope to be in the top 500,000..."

"A ranking of 500,000 is already impressive. With my abilities, I'd have a hard time getting into the top 500,000 in the entire base city. I wonder if the school will really refuse to give me a recommendation? Without a recommendation letter from the school, I won't even be able to get into the exam hall..."

Apart from those who were very confident in their abilities, most of the other students were wailing in despair.

And someone suddenly noticed something and said:

"Wait a minute, I remember that last year, the year before, and even earlier batches of graduates didn't participate in any kind of placement test at this time. Is there something wrong?"

The other students also realized, "Yeah, could there really be a problem?"

However, this was organized by the school, and they couldn't refuse to participate. If the school revoked their recommendation letter, they would be finished.

Compared to the students who were filled with fear and lacked confidence in their abilities, Lin Ce and Qin Su were much calmer.

"As far as I know, most of the tens of millions of students in the same class in Tianhe Base City are just lazy bums who are just waiting to finish their twelve years of compulsory education before going to work in factories to tighten screws."

"To get into the top 500,000, you only need about 1,800 kilograms of strength. I have more than 2,300 kilograms of strength. I can handle this test with ease. I'm not worried at all."

Lin Ce stood with his hands in his pockets, humming a little tune.

Qin Su smiled to the side but didn't say anything.

His strength has reached over 19,800 kilograms, making him arguably the most terrifying high school student in the history of martial arts on Earth, which naturally gives him more confidence.

[A test? Very well, I'll show you tomorrow and let you know that I am the number one prodigy in Tianhe Base City.]

[After my physique awakened, the speed of my improvement can only be described as terrifying. The so-called three thousand kilograms of strength is just a figure that I deliberately suppressed. If I were to go all out, I could already reach five thousand kilograms of strength.]

[A high school student at the beginner samurai level—this level of strength is comparable to some college students. How many years has it been since Tianhe Base City has seen such a figure?]

[Hehe, who would have thought that such a remote place as Tianhe Base City would produce a prodigy like me? This time, I'm destined to be a dark horse in the national martial arts exam, stunning millions! And my path to fame begins with this preliminary test, where I decisively take first place among my peers in Tianhe Base City!]

Su Qingli exudes an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

But her inner thoughts were chattering away in Qin Su's mind.

After learning that there would be a preliminary test, her mentality, which had been severely damaged by Qin Su, recovered somewhat.

Qin Su was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Su Qingli had been hiding her true strength; her abilities were not limited to what she had shown.

No wonder this girl was so arrogant and looked down on everyone; it turns out she actually has some skill.

[Qin Su, and you too, your understanding of the Ninefold Thunder Slash is indeed superior to mine, but a martial artist's strength isn't solely determined by their comprehension of techniques. Realm is the foundation of a martial artist's power!]

[Hmph, just you wait. After tomorrow's diagnostic test, I will become someone you can never reach!]

Listening to her inner thoughts, Qin Su touched his nose, giving her an amused look. He thought to himself, "Little girl, I'm afraid you'll get so discouraged again that you'll just fall silent and start rambling nonsense..."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After a night of cultivation, Ning Qiushui finally ended her cultivation state.

She opened her bedroom door and found that Qin Su had already gone to school. A genuine smile of relief appeared on her usually icy face.

Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the small, bright red porcelain bottle on the dining table, and she curiously picked it up to take a look.

"What is this? Did Asu leave it for me?"

Ning Qiushui was somewhat suspicious.

Fortunately, I saw Qin Su's message very quickly.

"Is this for me? Can it help me cultivate quickly?" Ning Qiushui shook her head. Although she felt that Qin Su couldn't offer anything of value, she didn't look down on it.

He carefully placed the small porcelain bottle in his pocket before heading out.

As a university student, she had much more freedom in terms of time than Qin Su, but she still needed to attend classes.

Her class today was very simple, just one class in the morning, and she could arrange the rest of the time as she pleased.

After class, Ning Qiushui did not go home, but instead used the school's cultivation resources to begin her arduous cultivation.

After meditating cross-legged on the training ground for a while, she remembered something and took out the small porcelain bottle that Qin Su had given her.

As she played with the small porcelain bottle, a gentle look appeared in her eyes.

"Hey, look at our beautiful Ning, her eyes are full of spring, is she thinking of someone?" Suddenly, a playful voice rang out from the side.

Ning Qiushui turned her head and saw that it was Li Nan, one of her few good friends from school.

Li Nan comes from a very wealthy family; I've heard she has assets worth at least tens of billions. However, Li Nan's martial arts talent isn't great; she was only able to get into university because her father donated a building to the school.

However, Li Nan is a very friendly and innocent girl. She did not act recklessly just because her family is rich and powerful.

"Wait a minute, something feels off about this little porcelain bottle of yours?"

Li Nan looked at the small porcelain bottle in Ning Qiushui's hand with suspicion, and a serious expression slowly appeared on his face.
