After the martial arts exam began, within just over ten minutes, candidates began to leave the virtual exam room. They had completed the challenge, or rather, failed, and their college entrance exams were over.

"Sigh, I was just a hair's breadth away from killing my opponent."

"It's a pity. I saw that my opponent looked just like me, and I felt it was unlucky to kill myself. I hesitated for only a moment before I was killed by my opponent."

"Thank goodness, I killed myself, and I got 300 points."

Has anyone ever attempted a challenge beyond their level?

"Why the challenge? Do you think you can last more than a few breaths against someone at the mid-stage of the ninth rank? Or do you want to experience the feeling of death?"

"That's right. People should know their own limitations. Don't compare yourself to those gifted students. We're not on the same path."

These students who finished their exams early were gathered in the drill ground outside the classroom to wait. Their high school life would only truly end after all the students finished their exams and the school held its closing ceremony.

As time went by, more and more students left the examination room. They chatted among themselves, guessing who would be the top student at Jiangzhou No.1 Middle School this year.

"Of course it's Zhao Xue! I don't respect anyone else but her!"

"I've heard that Qi Xiang has made rapid progress recently and has made breakthroughs in martial arts. I think Qi Xiang is very likely to be the top scholar."

"He Qingqing from Class 6 is also quite good. Her strength is second only to Zhao Xue and Qi Xiang. She has consistently ranked among the top three in the grade. Maybe if she performs well, she could even win first place?"

The most favored candidates are Zhao Xue, Qi Xiang, and He Qingqing, who have consistently ranked in the top three of the grade for the past three years. No one believes that Chen Feng can be the first choice.

"Hmph, when Brother Feng's results come out, they'll absolutely dazzle your titanium alloy eyes." After more than thirty minutes, Zhou Ping came out and muttered to himself after hearing the surrounding discussions.

Forty minutes later, He Qingqing and Qi Xiang left the examination room one after the other and came to the martial arts field. They looked around but did not see Zhao Xue, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Now, is Zhao Xue the only one who hasn't finished the exam?" Qi Xiang asked the group of lackeys gathered around him from Class One.

"Besides Zhao Xue, it seems there's another student in Class One who hasn't finished the exam yet," someone said timidly.

"Who is it? Who else in Class One can compare to Zhao Xue?" Qi Xiang asked with a gloomy face.

"It looks like Chen Feng. I wonder if that guy is deliberately stalling for time inside. Does he think the longer he drags it out, the better his score will be?" the underling next to him said sarcastically.

"Hey, what if someone comes out at the very end? Even if they didn't do well on the exam, they can still shamelessly say, 'I was the last one to finish,'" someone said with a laugh.

Three minutes later, Zhao Xue came out with a smile on her face. She had obviously done well on the test and her score was quite good, otherwise she wouldn't be so relaxed and happy.

"What? Has Chen Feng not finished his exam yet?" However, when Zhao Xue arrived in the classroom, she saw that Chen Feng was not next to Zhou Ping and immediately asked.

"Yes, Brother Feng hasn't come out yet. I wonder what he's doing?" Zhou Ping said deliberately. He roughly knew that Chen Feng's strength was definitely above Zhao Xue, Qi Xiang, and others, but he pretended not to know.

"On the exam stage, if the difference in strength is too great, it is impossible to delay the time. What trump card does Chen Feng have?" Zhao Xue pondered to herself.

"Look, Chen Feng is coming out. He was the last one to finish the exam, and even the principal came with him." Just then, someone pointed in the direction of the classroom and said.

Sure enough, everyone saw Chen Feng walking over from that direction with the principal, and the principal did indeed ask Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you were the last one to finish the exam in the entire Jiangzhou. Which level have you reached?"

"I didn't dare challenge a late-stage eighth-rank martial artist; I figured I couldn't possibly beat them," Chen Feng said honestly.

"How long did it take you to challenge the mid-stage eighth rank martial artist?" The principal's eyes lit up as he asked. He knew that Chen Feng had a perfect score on his written exam. If it took him a long time to challenge the mid-stage eighth rank martial artist, he could at least get 600 points, even if he didn't get 650.

In this way, Chen Feng's college entrance examination score could reach 1100 points. In the past, very few students from Jiangzhou No.1 High School have scored more than 1000 points, let alone 1100 points.

"I played for about half an hour, and I'm exhausted," Chen Feng said, stretching his body. Although it was just a virtual environment, the feeling was synchronized with his body.

"Great, great, that's wonderful!" the principal exclaimed with delight.

He didn't dare to think that Chen Feng had defeated a mid-stage eighth-rank martial artist. He had only fought with him for half an hour, and he was sure to get 600 points. With his written exam score, he was guaranteed to get 1100 points.

Even with a score of 1100, it has already broken the record in the history of Jiangzhou No.1 High School. How could we not be happy?

However, the principal was a man of the world, and before the results were announced, he did not make a fuss. He was just secretly planning how to celebrate and what kind of reward to give Chen Feng.

"Why are the principal and Chen Feng chatting and laughing so happily?"

"Could it be that Chen Feng's grades are so outstanding that even the principal believes he is the top scholar in Jiangzhou?"

"Chen Feng was able to hold out until now, so his grades probably aren't bad, right? After all, everyone has been through exams and knows that it's impossible to just coast through inside."

"That's right, without strength, it would be impossible to stay in there for so long."

"Two months ago, Chen Feng defeated Qi Xiang. At that time, all of his basic martial arts skills were at the advanced level. Now, Chen Feng's strength is probably even greater, right?"

"So, Chen Feng really might become a dark horse."

"However, Zhao Xue only came out about a minute earlier than Chen Feng, so it's hard to say who had a better score."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Chen Feng arrived at Class One's line. Zhou Ping went up to him and asked, "Brother Feng, what did the principal say to you? Was he praising you or giving you a reward?"

"The principal asked me how the martial arts exam went, and we just chatted for a bit. There was no praise or reward," Chen Feng said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Chen Feng, how many matches did you challenge opponents of higher levels?" Zhao Xue asked as she approached. The surrounding students all perked up their ears to listen, including Qi Xiang and He Qingqing from the next class.

"I only challenged two opponents who were above my level," Chen Feng said truthfully. He was at the peak of the ninth rank, and the two opponents he challenged were mid-eighth rank martial artists.

Zhao Xue and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. All three of them were at the late stage of the ninth rank and had challenged martial artists at the peak of the ninth rank, but all of them failed. However, the duration of their challenges varied, so their results should be quite good.

Chen Feng broke through to become a martial artist later than them, and he should not be at the late stage of the ninth rank yet. In the two challenges he faced, he only challenged the peak of the ninth rank martial artist, just like them. His results were not much better than theirs.

Of course, Chen Feng's written exam scores were indeed superior to everyone else's. For example, Qi Xiang's written exam score was only 420 points, and He Qingqing's score was only 480 points, which was still several tens of points lower than Chen Feng's.
