CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 35: JIANG YE’S STRENGTH

"960 kilograms?"

The bearded teacher looked at Jiang Ye in surprise: "The speed has also broken 19 meters per second, almost reaching the Perfection stage of the Cultivation Technique."

The standard for Star Martial Cultivation Technique Perfection is 1000 kilograms, and 20 meters per second.

Of course, this is for regular class students.

For the advanced class, 1500 kilograms, 25 meters per second is the standard for Cultivation Technique Perfection, as students in the advanced class have better physiques.

However, college entrance exams are set according to the regular class standards.

Jiang Ye’s data is already close to reaching this standard.

"Wasn’t he just over six hundred kilograms in the end-of-term assessment?"

"Improved so quickly? How did he do it?"

The classroom was filled with the sound of gasps, and the students were all shocked.

Wen Yuehui was also surprised, he had guessed their gap would grow larger, but not this much!

Only Jiang Ye knew that the recent test wasn’t his full strength.

"If I use Gale Step, my speed can exceed 35 meters per second," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

But if he did that, it would be too suspicious; anyone would know something’s up.

The assessment continued.

Thirty minutes later.

The third item of the Martial Arts assessment—actual combat assessment began.

Jiang Ye had no pressure at all for this assessment as well.

The bearded teacher followed the college exam standard, which is using the strength of Cultivation Technique Great Success, to conduct arena matches with everyone.

When it was Jiang Ye’s turn to take the stage.

This time, he didn’t hold back, immediately unleashing the "Eight Thunder Sounds Fist."

He also wanted to see if, by using this Yellow Tier Middle-Level Art Technique, he could defeat the opponent.

"Boom!"

Jiang Ye’s aura was like thunder, his figure flashed by, fist wind swept through, piercing through with an incredibly fierce momentum.

Vaguely, a thunder sound exploded.

Bang!

The bearded teacher collided solidly with him with a fist.

"Hmm? This power!" The bearded man’s eyes flashed with shock: "It exceeds a thousand kilograms!"

Generally speaking, in actual combat, it’s not often one can exert the highest level achieved during tests.

After all, tests require readiness and preparation, while actual combat tests immediate execution.

Exceeding test level in combat? Very rare!

"Not bad, kid." The bearded teacher suddenly smiled and said loudly: "Strive to defeat me!"

With that said, his fist technique suddenly became fierce.

"Boom!" The bearded man punched out one after another, each punch was on par with Jiang Ye’s previous level.

Like one mountain after another pressing toward Jiang Ye, continuous without end.

Jiang Ye immediately felt great pressure.

Fortunately, his Eight Thunder Sounds Fist was nearing Entry, the fist edge was powerful and unmatched, sustaining resilience in a force versus force situation.

Three minutes later.

"Ding!"

As a bell rang, the bearded teacher and Jiang Ye simultaneously stopped fighting.

Three minutes was enough to test combat score.

Jiang Ye was also the first student to persist for three minutes against the bearded man without being defeated.

"Your Eight Thunder Sounds Fist is almost Entry level, right?" The bearded man looked at Jiang Ye, he recognized this high-level Art Technique.

Jiang Ye nodded: "Just a little short."

The bearded teacher heard this and sincerely praised: "In one month’s time, almost reaching Entry level? You’re really impressive."

This is a Yellow Tier Middle-Level Art Technique, with quite high cultivation difficulty.

Such strong comprehension, such strong combat ability, hardly like a regular class student.

"Teacher overpraises." Jiang Ye said modestly.

"Keep it up, hope to see you in an advanced class soon." The bearded teacher smiled.

Jiang Ye cupped his hands and turned to walk off the stage.

The entire class looked at him with admiration and reverence.

Even his friend Wen Yuehui, his gaze shifted to one of respect.

When the gap is large enough, jealousy doesn’t arise, only pure amazement.

Soon, the total score of the three tests appeared.

[First place: Jiang Ye, 340 points]

[Second place: Li Zhichao, 310 points]

[Third place: Xu Sisi...]

Jiang Ye undoubtedly took the first place in the class.

Though there’s still a Virtual Starry Sky assessment remaining, nobody in Class Nine can surpass his combat ability.

Yet Jiang Ye’s focus was not within Class Nine.

But on the whole grade.

"I’m progressing, so are the people in the advanced class," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "I wonder how much they’ve progressed in two months?"

Moments later, the group from Class Nine left the classroom and headed to the spherical building, ready for the Virtual Starry Sky assessment.

...

The spherical building.

The hall’s three huge display screens were rolling with the ranking of three grades in real-time.

Jiang Ye is now in senior year.

He looked toward the senior grade display screen.

[First place: Zhao Qingli, 750 points]

[Second place: Lin Miaomiao, 695 points]

[Third place: Wang Ziang, 670 points]

"Zhao Qingli, 750 points?" Jiang Ye was secretly shocked: "At the end-of-term assessment, she was 710 points, she improved 40 points over the summer vacation."

Don’t just look at 40 points.

The higher the score, the harder it is to improve.

The difficulty of improving from 90 points to 100 points is far greater than from 0 points to 10 points.

Zhao Qingli is over 700 points, having this improvement rate is truly terrifying.

"Spending 100,000 yuan a month, truly high value," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Besides Zhao Qingli, both Lin Miaomiao and Wang Ziang showed significant improvement.

He looked towards the grade’s hundredth place.

"Hundredth place, 450 points?" Jiang Ye slightly nodded, this assessment, he might enter the grade’s top hundred!

Half an hour later.

Finally, it was time for Class Nine to start their assessment.

The system ranking was also group-based, five people per group.

Jiang Ye’s group, upon entering the Virtual Starry Sky, officially began the challenge of hunting the Shadow Race.

...

With Jiang Ye’s current strength, he easily advanced to the third level.

Faced with five Shadow Race infant forms!

The last time, he fell at this level.

But now, Jiang Ye’s strength has greatly improved, having cultivated the "Eight Thunder Sounds Fist," he could inflict significant damage on the Shadow Race.

"Die!"

Jiang Ye punched again and again, erupting like raindrops.

Accompanied by dull thunder sounds, a Shadow Race was thoroughly shattered by him.

"Brother Jiang is so strong!"

"So amazing."

The four teammates were being overpowered while besieging a Shadow Race, but seeing Jiang Ye’s unrivaled might, their blood boiled.

One head! Two heads! Three heads!

Soon, Jiang Ye exterminated all five heads of the Shadow Race in the third level.

"Buzz!"

As the third level ended, the surrounding space suddenly lit up with red light.

It seemed to signify that a major challenge was coming.

Fourth level.

Ten dark figures rose from the ground.

The foremost figure was over two meters tall.

These were also Shadow Race infant forms, but much stronger, closer to juvenile form!

This battle was undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Jiang Ye swung his fists, exerting all his strength, battling these Shadow Race.

But this time, he had no time to care for those four teammates, very soon all four teammates died under the Shadow Race siege.

Jiang Ye fought solo against ten Shadow Race!

He had already killed several small Shadow Race.

But the two-meter-tall Shadow Race was too powerful, every blow made Jiang Ye’s blood boil, his arms numb.

"Roar!"

A roar sounded, coming from the two-meter-tall Shadow Race, having a much stronger impact on the mind than other Shadow Race.

Even Jiang Ye’s Martial Arts Will, honed through countless trials, was affected.

In the next moment, a group of Shadow Race launched a fierce attack.

No doubt, this attack was exceptionally fierce, Jiang Ye was almost unable to escape.

"Hmm?"

But amid this desperate situation, Jiang Ye’s will suddenly exploded, with a nearly desperate strike, his fists forcefully smashed out.

"Bang bang!"

Two thunderous booming sounds suddenly exploded.

Jiang Ye was slightly stunned.

Boom!

In the next moment, three Shadow Race were shattered by his punch.

Even the two-meter-high Shadow Race had its shoulder smashed.

However, Jiang Ye’s heart was also pierced by the Shadow Race, his body slowly fell.

But a smile appeared on his face.

On Jiang Ye’s panel, "Eight Thunder Sounds Fist" had changed:

Eight Thunder Sounds Fist: Not Entry (99%) → Entry (1%)
