Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

A black bulletproof SUV smoothly navigated the streets of Jiangcheng.

Inside the train carriage.

The air conditioning was on full blast.

It isolated us from the restlessness of the sweltering June heat and the deafening noise outside the examination hall.

Su Yu sat in the passenger seat.

He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, pondering the questions from the humanities exam he had just taken.

in the driver's seat.

Lin Xiaoxiao held the steering wheel with one hand, while the other hand rested casually on the edge of the car window.

Large sunglasses covered most of her face.

But the slight pursing of her lips betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

She would turn her head to the side from time to time.

She secretly glanced at the boy beside her through the corner of her eye through her sunglasses.

A short-sleeved shirt that's faded from washing.

Ordinary sweatpants.

There are no designer brands, no luxurious accessories, and even the hairstyle is the simplest layered hair.

But this is the kind of ordinary boy who looks like he would be lost in a crowd.

Three days.

From 0.8 to 10.4.

This leap is even more outrageous than a fairy tale.

Even a young lady from a prestigious family like her, who had been exposed to top-tier resources since childhood, had never heard of any miraculous medicine in the Great Xia Kingdom that could increase a person's blood and qi by more than ten times in three days without any signs of side effects.

Su Yu's breathing was steady.

It was as calm as a dormant volcano.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked away and stepped hard on the gas pedal.

Forget it.

forget about it.

Everyone has their own secrets.

Since Su Yu was unwilling to talk about it, she wouldn't press him for details.

As long as he really has the ability and can get into the Great Xia Capital First Martial Arts University with me.

That's enough.

Twenty minutes later.

The SUV drove onto a secluded, tree-lined path.

Finally, we stopped in front of a private restaurant that didn't even have a sign.

There was no opulent or glittering decoration.

There are only antique-style blue bricks and black tiles, and two stone lions at the entrance that bear the marks of time.

"get off."

Lin Xiaoxiao took off her sunglasses and casually tossed them onto the center console.

I opened the car door.

Su Yu followed her into the private restaurant.

As soon as you step through the gate, a faint scent of sandalwood wafts towards you.

There is no lobby.

All of them are private rooms.

It is extremely secretive.

"Miss Lin, you've arrived. Same as usual?"

A manager dressed in a well-fitting cheongsam immediately came forward, her attitude respectful but not obsequious.

"Um."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and led Su Yu familiarly to a private room at the end of the corridor.

Push open the door.

The private room was decorated with extreme elegance.

A round table made of rosewood, several armchairs, and a few ink paintings hanging on the wall.

"sit."

Lin Xiaoxiao pulled out a chair and sat down casually.

Su Yu sat down opposite her.

soon.

The dishes are all served.

There was no menu, only the restaurant's signboard.

Steamed Tier 1 Spirit Tail Fish.

Braised pork tenderloin with fangs.

Stewed snow frog with Polygonatum sibiricum for a hundred years.

Each dish exudes an extremely rich energy and vitality.

This is not ordinary food at all.

This is a "medicinal meal" carefully prepared with the flesh and blood of high-level exotic beasts and precious medicinal herbs!

If an average person were to eat just one bite, they would probably have a nosebleed for hours.

However, for martial arts students whose blood and qi levels meet the requirements, this is a highly nourishing food.

"Eat."

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up her chopsticks and pointed to the dishes on the table.

"I've been taking exams all morning, so I need to replenish my energy."

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony.

The physical body of a martial arts master is like a bottomless pit, with an extremely terrifying thirst for energy.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of pork tenderloin from a saber-toothed pig, and put it in his mouth.

The meat is firm.

It melts at the entrance.

A warm energy slid down the throat into the stomach, where it was quickly broken down by the powerful digestive system and integrated into the body.

The taste is indeed very good.

Su Yu gave his own assessment in his mind.

The two ate quietly for a while.

The only sound in the private room was the soft chopsticks touching the porcelain plate.

until.

Lin Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks.

She grabbed a tissue and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth.

then.

She put away her usual spoiled and willful rich girl demeanor.

His expression became more serious than ever before.

It even carried a hint of solemnity.

"Su Yu".

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the boy opposite her, her voice very low.

"Did you know that the Great Xia Capital's No. 1 Martial Arts University is located in Jiangcheng...?"

"How many spots are there exactly?"

Su Yu paused slightly as he picked up some food.

He raised his head.

A hint of inquiry flashed in his deep eyes.

Limited spots?

Isn't the college entrance exam just about scores? If your score is high enough, you'll naturally be admitted.

This is common sense deeply ingrained in all ordinary high school students in the Great Xia Kingdom.

But looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's serious expression...

Su Yu knew that things were probably not that simple.

"several?"

Su Yu put down his chopsticks and calmly asked in return.

Lin Xiaoxiao extended two fair fingers.

It swayed gently in front of Su Yu.

"two."

Lin Xiaoxiao uttered this extremely cruel number, word by word.

There are only two.

The air in the private room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

two?

Jiangcheng has a permanent population of over ten million, and at least tens of thousands of high school seniors are taking the Wuhan University of Science and Technology college entrance examination this year!

Even if 99% of them are eliminated in the first round of Qi and Blood tests.

But that remaining one percent is still an extremely large base.

Out of hundreds of thousands of people, how many can you pick?

This is no longer one in a hundred.

This is truly walking a tightrope, like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge!

"You think a perfect score of 10 points in health points guarantees you entry into the top martial arts university in Kyoto?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yu and explained.

"Too naive."

"The Great Xia Kingdom has twelve provinces and hundreds of prefecture-level cities. If everyone with perfect Qi and Blood could get into the Capital Martial Arts University, the school would be bursting at the seams long ago!"

"Kyoto Martial Arts University is a place that trains war gods, not a refuge."

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the cup of tea beside her and took a sip.

It moistened my throat.

They continue to release insider information that ordinary civilians would never have access to.

"The actual national unified admission score for Kyoto Martial Arts University is so high that it would put 99% of the candidates in Jiangcheng to despair. Under normal circumstances, perhaps one person in Jiangcheng would be admitted in ten years."

"However, in order to prevent missing out on those grassroots geniuses with extremely high practical talent, Wuhan University allocates a very small number of 'practical special recruitment quotas' every year."

"This special admission does not consider the overall ranking of the national unified examination."

"Only look at actual combat!"

Lin Xiaoxiao stretched out two slender white fingers and gently waved them in front of Su Yu.

"This year, the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association went to great lengths but only managed to secure two special admission slots from Kyoto Martial Arts University."

"Not one more."

Su Yu listened quietly.

His gaze remained deep, showing no sign of panic despite the cruel rule.

"so."

Su Yu spoke, his voice steady.

"The upcoming practical assessment is to determine these two special recruitment slots?"

"clever."

Lin Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers.

"After the humanities scores are released this afternoon, the system will automatically weight and sum the humanities and military scores."

"The top ten will qualify to participate in the final practical assessment."

"Only by defeating everyone in the ring and standing as the last one, first or second place..."

Only then are you qualified to take those two tickets to Kyoto Martial Arts University!

cruel.

It was extremely cruel.

They don't care about your background, your origins, or even how amazing your previous blood and qi tests were.

It all depends on whether you can defeat all your competitors fairly and squarely in the ring!

This is the ironclad rule of the martial arts world.

Practice makes perfect!

"You scored 10.4 in martial arts and are in the top ten of your grade in humanities."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yu and helped him analyze the situation.

"It's a sure thing that we'll be in the top ten in terms of practical experience."

"but……"

Lin Xiaoxiao's tone suddenly changed.

She slightly raised her chin.

On that pure and beautiful face, that familiar arrogance and pride of a rich young lady reappeared.

"In a real fight, you definitely can't beat me."

This is a fact.

The Qi and Blood value is 406.

The terrifying realm of intermediate-level martial artists.

Among the high school students in Jiangcheng, whose maximum health points were only a dozen or so, Lin Xiaoxiao's existence was an insurmountable bug.

As long as she stands in the ring.

The first place position was already locked in.

No one can shake its position.
