However, it was not as if they had no chance at all. If their performance in the combat ability assessment was outstanding enough, they might be able to reach the cutoff score for the college entrance exam.
Moreover, there was the bonus of the cultural studies results.
Finally, it was Lu Sheng’s turn.
In the assessment room, the two invigilators and the three examinees all focused their gazes on Lu Sheng. More accurately speaking, the two invigilators had noticed Lu Sheng the moment he entered the room.
Whether it was his appearance or his aura, Lu Sheng stood out among the crowd of examinees like a burning torch in the dark night, striking and eye-catching. It was hard not to notice him even if he wanted to.
The martial arts exam was not like the literature exam. Whether one had strength or not could often be seen at a glance.
“Are you ready?” The invigilator in charge of measuring Qi and Blood values specifically asked Lu Sheng.
The two hearts in Lu Sheng’s chest thumped loudly. In an instant, an invisible pressure spread out from his body. The two invigilators’ expressions changed instantly. The one closest to Lu Sheng could not help but take a few steps back. As for the three examinees on the sidelines, they could not help but retreat until they were pressed against the wall.
Everyone looked at Lu Sheng with a look of astonishment.
If Lu Sheng had been a ferocious tiger before, intimidating people at first sight. Then now, this ferocious tiger had opened its mouth and roared, fully releasing the might of a Beast King.
“I’m ready.” Lu Sheng spoke with a calm expression.
Since it was the Gaokao [national college entrance examination in China], a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he naturally had to give it his all.
“Okay … okay.”
The invigilator in charge of measuring Qi and Blood Values resisted the wave after wave of pressure emanating from Lu Sheng’s body. He walked in front of him and picked up a pack of blood collection needles.
Just as he was about to open it, he heard Lu Sheng speak.
“Change to another one. This needle probably won’t be able to pierce my skin.”
The invigilator’s hand froze, and he looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Sheng spoke calmly, “I’ve already completed Body Refining.”
The two invigilators looked at each other, speechless. Although they had already guessed it in their hearts, hearing Lu Sheng admit it still gave them a different kind of shock.
As for the other three examinees, they were completely dumbfounded.
With their Qi and Blood values, they had yet to come into contact with the tempering of muscles and bones, and what Body Honing meant.
“Okay.”
The invigilator nodded heavily, and immediately took out a pack of blood collection needles that looked even more advanced from the drawer.
“These blood collection needles can usually be used for Level 5 and below.”
He seemed to be saying this specifically to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng extended his right hand and nodded. “Let’s give it a try then.”
The invigilator’s eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He could hear a trace of uncertainty in Lu Sheng’s tone.
Although it’s indeed very impressive for someone his age to complete Body Refining, it was still impossible for him to reach Level 5. What does he mean by ‘let’s give it a try’?
The invigilator cursed in his mind, tore open the outer packaging of the blood collection needles, and drew Lu Sheng’s blood.
The first time, the blood collection needle pressed a dent in Lu Sheng’s index finger, but it didn’t pierce in.
The invigilator didn’t mind, and slightly increased the strength of his hand.
The second time, the blood collection needle sank deeply into Lu Sheng’s skin.
There was no blood.
It still couldn’t draw blood?
The invigilator was a little surprised, and couldn’t help but glance at the other invigilator.
Turning his head, his face showed some determination, and his hand stabbed hard.
Crack —
There was a soft crisp sound.
The head of the high-grade blood collection needle, which was said to be able to draw blood from anyone below Level 5, broke.
Lu Sheng’s index finger, which had been stabbed was completely fine.
It remained unscathed.
The two invigilators were stunned.
They stared blankly at the remaining half of the blood collection needle in their hands, unable to say a word for a long time.
The three examinees who were watching with their eyes wide open were also shocked, and the same thought appeared in their minds at the same time.
This was a high-grade blood collection needle?
Why did it look even more fragile than the average blood collection needle? Was the quality of the equipment used for the College Entrance Examination still so poor?
“What … Level are you?” Finally, the invigilator in charge of measuring Lu Sheng’s BQV said something, looking at Lu Sheng with a sullen face.
Lu Sheng shook his head, replying, “Change to a higher-grade needle, sharpen it, and slowly drill it in. My skin and flesh are tougher than the average person’s.”
The two invigilators were a little perplexed.
What did he mean by … ‘sharpen it, and slowly drill it in’?
They had been invigilators for who knew how many College Entrance Examination sessions, but this was the first time they had met an examinee who couldn’t even draw blood from a high-grade blood collection needle.
What the fuck!
***
It took a long time for him to calm down from his complicated emotions.
“Why don’t we test your combat strength first? I’ll ask the higher-ups.” The invigilator in charge of BQV looked at the invigilator in charge of combat strength.
“Okay.”
The invigilator left in a hurry.
The invigilator in charge of combat strength took a deep breath. He tried not to look at Lu Sheng and forced himself to calm down.
“Then let’s test your CPI first. Student, we’ll test your BQV later.”
“Okay.” Lu Sheng had no objections.
The three candidates leaning against the wall slowly walked back. They looked at Lu Sheng with fear in their eyes. The three of them subconsciously distanced themselves from him.
“The first candidate …” The invigilator called out a name. The candidate whose name was called walked to the front of the combat strength instrument and started the test.
“Combat Power Index: 78”
“Combat Power Index: 86?
“Combat Power Index: 83”
There were no fluctuations. The three candidates tested their combat strength separately. The results were similar to their BQV.
Then it was Lu Sheng’s turn.
The invigilator in charge of combat strength looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated expression. He didn’t know why, but he felt inexplicably nervous.
His intuition told him that Lu Sheng’s combat strength index test might not go smoothly. The invigilator glanced at the Combat Power Index testing instrument in the room.
The instrument was new. It was brought by the Baihe City government and the Martial Arts Association for this year’s examination.
To ensure the accuracy of the results, the instruments used for the college entrance examination had to be brought again every year. There would never be any problems.
The highest test limit is 999,000. Anyone below Level 6 can take the test. No matter how powerful this kid is, he can’t be a Master at eighteen. What was I worried about just now?
The invigilator shook his head in self-mockery. He found the worry in his heart laughable.
His face returned to normal as he called out Lu Sheng’s name.
“It’s your turn.”
Lu Sheng nodded. He walked to the testing instrument.
He didn’t start immediately.
To be honest, Lu Sheng was also curious about how strong he had become. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to test it out.
Since that was the case, he would test it properly.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath. His long breaths seemed endless.
He began to mobilize the power in his body.
Switch to Breath of Flame!
The temperature in the room seemed to slowly rise, and the three candidates unconsciously pulled at their collars.
