High Martial Arts Storm

The next day.

When Yang Haocheng woke up, he found that Lan Xinlin was already cultivating in the cultivation room.

The two of them did not leave.

tomorrow!

It's the time for the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).

In their final moments, they would continue to cultivate diligently, striving to further improve their cultivation.

period.

Yang Haocheng copied the "Nine Phoenixes Controlling Dragon Technique" and handed it to Lan Xinlin, also informing her of the technique's level.

"A level-two cultivation technique? Where did you get it?" Lan Xinlin asked in surprise.

"The city lord gave us a wedding gift, and what I received was a different kind of cultivation technique," Yang Haocheng explained. "My elders have some connections with the city lord, which is why he helped me."

origin?

It must be a very deep connection, right?

Otherwise, given Nan Zhanming's status and position, there would be no need for him to do this.

Lan Xinlin nodded thoughtfully, accepted the "Nine Phoenixes Controlling Dragon Technique," and said with a smile, "It seems I can save a lot of money on cultivation in the future."

"Are you short of money?" Yang Haocheng asked.

"I don't lack anything!" Lan Xinlin shook her head, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and said, "Just two hours ago, 20 million star coins were transferred to my family's public account."

Yang Haocheng was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

Knowing that their backer was Nan Zhanming, and that Lan Xinlin had obtained a marriage certificate with them, the Lan family gave up on currying favor with the Tian family and wanted to establish a friendly relationship with them.

What a brilliant plan!

"Just take it if I give it to you!" Yang Haocheng said with a smile.

"Um!"

Lan Xinlin looked up and asked, "What's your combat power level?"

"17.4".

Where does he rank on the Campus Power Ranking?

"second."

"Non-human," Lan Xinlin muttered.

"..."

time flies.

The time for the college entrance examination has finally arrived.

Yang Haocheng and Lan Xinlin arrived at school and were surrounded by the entire class.

"Are you really married? Is that electronic marriage certificate real or fake?"

"Yang Haocheng, you're on the news! Your wedding information can be found everywhere online now."

Tell me, do I still have a chance?

"envious……"

When questioned by her classmates, Lan Xinlin remained silent, while Yang Haocheng directly admitted it.

Although their marriage was a sham, he didn't care. Having tasted the sweetness of rapid progress in his cultivation, he was now more addicted to cultivating and becoming stronger than to dating.

"Brother, when are you having your wedding banquet?" Xiang Tianhu asked in a low voice.

"We weren't prepared!"

Why?

"Take the college entrance exam first, then go to a higher martial arts academy. Who knows how long I'll live after that? Why bother with mundane formalities? I'd be better off cultivating properly!" Yang Haocheng said dismissively.

"..."

At this time.

Mu Ailian walked into the classroom and immediately announced, "All students, line up outside the classroom and head to the 'DreamNet Center' to prepare for the exam."

Instantly.

Everyone rushed outside.

DreamNet Center.

This is the mechanical equipment area of ​​No. 49 Middle School, where many high-tech smart items are placed.

College entrance examination!

It's not a test paper, nor is it a real-world assessment.

After the whole class arrived at the "Dream Network Center", they lined up to enter the building and, under the supervision of a large number of proctors, entered the spacious mechanical halls.

Inside the machinery hall.

A large number of DreamNet sensor cabins are placed there.

"Enter the sensor cabin, enter your examination admission ticket number, fill in your personal information, and then wait for the examination to begin," a mechanical voice announced.

Yang Haocheng lay down in the sensor cabin, with the internal mechanical equipment directly attached to his temples.

next moment.

Yang Haocheng found himself in a wilderness.

Blue skies and white clouds, the world feels so real.

"Is this the DreamNet space? This is my first time entering here, it's amazing." Yang Haocheng thought to himself, and then he saw a row of virtual text appear in front of him, which was a data box that needed to be filled in.

soon.

Yang Haocheng then filled out the forms.

While waiting, he looked around.

The environment here is no different from the wilderness outside the city. If there is any difference, it is that there are no mutated beasts here, and there is no sense of danger.

In his hand, however, was only an ordinary-style battle knife.

Ten minutes later.

The mechanical sound rang out again:

"remind:

The terrain will change in one minute. This assessment is divided into seven levels, each with a different environment.

In a Level 1 environment, the number of mutated beasts is: two Level 1 mutated beasts.

In the Level 2 environment, the number of mutant beasts is: ten Level 1 mutant beasts.

In a level 3 environment, the number of mutated beasts is: thirty level 1 mutated beasts.

In a level 4 environment, the number of mutated beasts is: two level 2 mutated beasts.

In a level 5 environment, there are ten level 2 mutated beasts.

In a level 6 environment, there are 30 level 2 mutant beasts.

In a level 7 environment, the number of mutated beasts is: two level 3 mutated beasts.

Countdown: 10, 9, 8... 1, 0.

The assessment begins.

As the "Assessment Begins" notification appeared, Yang Haocheng felt the world around him change; he was no longer surrounded by wilderness, but by a dense forest.

Immediately afterwards!

He saw two level-one mutated wolves suddenly leap out of the bushes dozens of meters away.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two slashes, and two level-one mutated wolves are dead.

"Congratulations on completing the Level 1 environmental assessment. The Level 2 environmental assessment will begin in ten seconds..."

quickly!

The surrounding environment changed again, from the original dense forest to an endless desert.

At this moment, ten first-level mutated scorpions emerged from the sand and charged towards Yang Haocheng.

kill……

Without hesitation, Yang Haocheng swung his knife and killed him.

Then came the Level 3 environment, Level 4 environment, and Level 5 environment.

Yang Haocheng's cultivation level increased dramatically, and his strength and speed also increased dramatically. Even when facing ten level-two mutated beasts in a level-five environment, he successfully killed them after a fierce battle.

Level 6 environment...

It is on an island.

Thirty level-two mutated beasts suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the barren island.

Yang Haocheng felt a little nervous. He knew very well that he had already felt the strain of killing ten level-two mutated beasts, and now facing thirty level-two mutated beasts, his chances of winning were not very high. Even if he could kill them all, he would probably be seriously injured.

kill!

He was now a seasoned veteran with extensive combat experience, so while unleashing the "Thirteen Demon-Sealing Slashes," he also employed the "Floating Willow Steps," his ghostly figure flashing through the mutated beast horde as streaks of blade light swept out...

Half an hour later.

Yang Haocheng barely managed to kill the last level-two mutated beast, but he was already covered in wounds.

"Congratulations on completing the Level 6 environmental assessment. The Level 7 environmental assessment will begin in ten seconds..."

The environment has changed again.

A world of ice and snow, with a biting wind.

Yang Haocheng could feel the biting cold and even see the snowflakes fluttering in the wind. In the distance, amidst the snowstorm, two enormous mutated lions appeared.

They seemed unaffected by the snow, rushing towards Yang Haocheng with a whooshing sound.

"It's too fast."

"Unless I can break through to the Warrior Realm, let alone face two level-three mutated lions at the same time, even if it's just one, my chances of winning are extremely slim."

"However, if I want to get into one of the three major academies, I must achieve even better results."

"If we fight them head-on now, I'll probably be killed by them in just a few seconds."

We have to find a way...

Yang Haocheng gripped his battle sword, his mind racing.

at last……

He made a decision.

Faced with two mutated lions pouncing at him, he did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he used the "Floating Willow Steps" to dodge quickly. After narrowly dodging the claws of one of the mutated lions, he twisted his body and risked being bitten on the shoulder by the other mutated lion, pressing his body against the other's body.

next moment.

Despite having a piece of flesh torn from his shoulder, he endured the pain, reached out, wrapped his arm around the mutated beast's neck, and rolled over to press himself against its back.

He brought his sword down with a fierce slash.

"Rip..."

Another mutated lion charged at him, its sharp claws tearing open Yang Haocheng's flesh on the side, and its gaping maw snapped at him.

pain!

It hurts so much!

But Yang Haocheng never let go.

With his other hand, he swiftly slashed at the mutated lion, which was twisting and turning wildly, and managed to keep it from being thrown away.

In just six or seven seconds.

Half of Yang Haocheng's body had been torn to shreds and was now a bloody mess, but with his dying will, he continued to cleave the mutated lion beneath him.

"Bang……"

The mutated lion, severely injured, finally collapsed.

Yang Haocheng gave a bitter smile. Just as his battle sword was knocked away by another mutated lion, he twisted his body and moved more than ten centimeters to dodge the mutated lion's attack on his head.

"Bang……"

Seconds later, his neck was snapped, and he lost consciousness.

"Huff huff..."

After Yang Haocheng's consciousness withdrew from the Dream Network space, although he had no wounds, he still felt pain all over his body, gasped for breath, and opened his eyes to recall the fear of the moment of death.

He succeeded.

Although he failed the level 7 environment test, he still managed to kill a level 3 mutated lion.
