Chapter 101: School Examinations

Maple Leaf City.

The Blissful Residence.

Lan Fei was the first to get out of the car, opening the door.

Fang Xing stepped out and gazed at the building that housed his home, feeling as if he had lived a previous life.

Spending these past few days with Lan Fei had somehow fulfilled one of the original host's small dreams.

It was undeniable that Lan Fei's body proportions were indeed breathtaking, and he quite enjoyed learning foreign languages from Teacher Lan Fei.

"Lan Fei..."

At this moment, Fang Xing looked at Lan Fei and said, "I only have enough room for myself here."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Fang. Our Giant God Group has already purchased the property rights to this entire neighborhood. If you like, we can transfer ownership to you at any time..."

Lan Fei pushed up her glasses, "I can live next door or in the unit above or below yours. I won't disturb you at all."

"That's a very thoughtful arrangement."

Fang Xing was left speechless. Although he had looked it up during the ride, he now knew that the 'Giant God Group' was a federal energy giant, with immense influence, and was even said to control the 'Martial Arts Association', a massive organization.

But he never expected that a mere Yin Hazhen would have such connections.

However, compared to having Lan Fei as his secretary, buying an entire neighborhood was nothing.

"Right, Lan Fei, why did you agree to work for the Giant God Group?"

Fang Xing was curious.

Lan Fei's original life should have been quite comfortable.

"For a higher pursuit, perhaps... The company promised to provide me with resources to break through the external scene and advanced genetic surgery..."

Lan Fei smiled, tucking away the stray strands of hair by her ears, "And... I'm also quite interested in you, Mr. Fang. You are the most talented and famous student I've ever taught..."

"I see."

Fang Xing nodded and returned to his home, closing the door behind him.

He took out his phone and contacted everyone who had sent him messages, including Gu Yun, Xia Long, Principal Lu Guangming, and Ouyang Qianqian...

...

September 1st.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

Fang Xing grabbed his school bag and walked out of his home.

Lan Fei had already been waiting at the door, with a small floating car parked beside her, "Good morning. Would you like a ride?"

"No, thank you. If I ride with you to school, all the boys will be jealous to death..."

Fang Xing shook his head.

He actually didn't like being famous and preferred to cultivate quietly.

Walking along the riverside street again, he felt a bit disappointed that he hadn't seen Jing Xia walking her dog.

When he reached the end of the street, he arrived at Yucai High School.

Once again, Fang Xing became the center of attention, with gazes from students of all grades—first, second, and even third-year students—fixed on him.

Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for this and calmly walked through the school gates, approaching a second-year student who looked rather youthful, "How was your summer vacation?"

"It was okay, I guess..."

Gu Yun looked at Fang Xing, a hint of defeat in her eyes, "I can't keep up with you anymore..."

Even though she had undergone rigorous training during the summer vacation, she still hadn't broken through to the Jade realm.

Even if she perfected her second realm cultivation, making her body flawless, it didn't mean she could immediately start cultivating internal energy.

Fang Xing had known this, which was why he had used the 'Innate Pill' to break through.

It was normal for Gu Yun to be stuck at this step.

According to the general situation, she still had two whole years of high school to break through, and she would definitely achieve the third realm of martial arts before the college entrance examination!

By then, combined with her academic performance and progress in martial arts... she would have a good chance of getting into a top university, and even a slight chance of making it into an elite one!

But Gu Yun still felt that her talent was inferior, and compared to Fang Xing, she felt like a good-for-nothing.

"I am where I am today because of my relentless efforts. You can do it too, so keep trying!"

Fang Xing gently ruffled Gu Yun's hair and smiled softly.

He remembered that when he had released cultivation items into the black market, he had owed Gu Yun a favor, so he said, "If you're free this semester, I can tutor you..."

After bidding farewell to Gu Yun, he went to his class and saw the sign for Class Three, Grade Three, his expression turning somewhat wistful.

"Fang Xing is here?"

As he entered the classroom, many students screamed.

Qian Xun's face turned red as she held a black notebook and asked, "Fang Xing, you're amazing! Can I have your autograph?"

"Sure. But why so many?"

Fang Xing nodded, then looked at the autograph papers Qian Xun handed him, feeling like he had been tricked.

He scanned the room and noticed that Ouyang Qianqian and Bai Lang had also gathered around.

But Liu Wei and Bailian Yi were conspicuously absent from the class.

Just before class started, Fang Xing realized that Cole wasn't there either.

"What happened to Cole?"

Thinking of this, he asked Bai Lang, who was standing nearby.

"Cole's family has been going through some troubles, and his academic performance has taken a hit. Plus, the teacher determined that he had lost his potential, so he became disheartened and chose to drop out of senior year and enlist directly..."

Bai Lang seemed to have been quite close to Cole and knew his situation.

"Enlisting in the military in the third year? Hmm... As long as you're an adult, I guess." Fang Xing sighed as he thought of his own past birthday.

"Cole isn't bad, actually. I heard his family knows someone in the military recruitment department, and they were aware that the space forces had a few vacancies here, so they immediately filled the spot... I heard the treatment is pretty good, at least he won't have to go to the Secret Realm forces.

As Bailang mentioned the Secret Realm Forces, he couldn't help but shudder as well. After all, having learned so much about the Secret Realm in their second year, they all knew how terrifying those forces were! Not only were the battles frequent, but the lack of technological weapon support and the need to face off against extrimensional evil gods, who were universally higher in power, was crucial.

The only good news was that the Federation's research on space-time bubbles had allowed them to suppress the otherworldly evil gods in terms of 'quantity', thus gaining a numerical advantage.

"Being able to join the Space Forces and possibly retire safely without experiencing a single war is indeed quite fortunate..."

"Not only that, but I heard that Qian Xun's family is trying to get her to take the exam for the Security Bureau to directly avoid military service..."

"Lilith's family doesn't have as many connections, so she can only try for the Prevention and Cure Bureau, but that bureau deals with evil god cultists, which is much more dangerous..."

Fang Xing nodded, realizing that children in the interstellar age tended to mature faster.

By the time they reached their senior year, everyone was deliberately looking for a backup plan.

Especially those with no hope of getting into college.

Dinglingling!

Just then, the class bell rang.

A middle-aged teacher with black-framed glasses, some white hair, and an apparent age of forty to fifty years old, appeared, saying, "Hello students, I am your senior liberal arts teacher, surname Xu..."

"What's going on? Where's Teacher Lan Fei?"

Bailang immediately let out a cry of dismay.

"Teacher Lan Fei has resigned from her teaching position due to personal reasons..." Teacher Xu responded matter-of-factly. "Alright, class, let's begin. Please turn to page..."

...

After a dull and tedious day of classes, Fang Xing went straight to find Xia Long.

Xia Long lived on campus in a two-story villa.

As Fang Xing entered, he saw Xia Long fiddling with a large gun.

The gun was crafted entirely from an alloy, radiating a bronze luster, and had a deep blood groove on the gun barrel, stained with dark traces of blood and grime...

Boom!

He thrust the gun forward like a dragon, and the piercing sharpness of that strike was no less impressive than the Green Rainbow Sword, a second-tier spiritual artifact!

Shiiiing!

Silver-white bolts of electricity had unknowingly gathered, filling the surrounding area like a forest of silver lightning.

An unknown amount of time passed before Xia Long sheathed his gun and stood upright, asking, "What have you learned from watching me for so long?"

"This gun technique of yours is definitely S-tier!" Fang Xing affirmed.

"Hehe, back then, I relied on this very gun technique to kill eighteen upper-servants in the Secret Realm and later joined my comrades in slaying a lower-rank scion known as the 'Eye of the Moon'..."

Xia Long's initial fervor seemed to fade as he recalled something, his voice turning gloomy, "It was also in that battle that I was injured and discharged... It's easy to heal physical wounds, but the mental scars are harder to mend."

"Teacher, do natural humans also go to the Secret Realm?" Fang Xing asked a question.

"What? Do you think the Secret Realm Forces are just cannon fodder?" Xia Long shot a sidelong glance at Fang Xing, his cyborg student, "There are plenty of martial arts geniuses who voluntarily join the Secret Realm Forces to temper their martial arts in the heat of battle. This is also for the greater good of humanity... If the defenses in the hyperspace were to collapse, do you think we'd still have this peaceful environment in the rear?"

"That's true."

Fang Xing nodded, "By the way, Teacher, I want to talk to you about the special recruitment."

Whoosh!

Xia Long casually tossed the bronze gun, and like a dragon, it shot out and embedded itself into the metal wall beside them, the entire gun barrel sinking into the wall, leaving only the gun body quivering.

Each quiver sent out gusts of wind that made Fang Xing's expression turn solemn.

"Special recruitment... Ever since you became famous after the Hundred Stars Joint Exam, many universities have sent special recruitment invitations... Of course, it's up to you to decide."

Xia Long grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off his face, "Currently, the best options are the top three colleges—Wuyue University, Galaxy Academy, and White Pagoda University."

"Among them, Wuyue University specializes in cultivating warriors, has the strongest martial arts department, and offers the best conditions. They don't require you to take the college entrance exam and will directly admit you with a scholarship."

Xia Long continued, "Galaxy Academy has the strongest mecha department, but their martial arts department is also exceptional. They value liberal arts scores and require you to take the college entrance exam, with admission offered if you reach a certain score..."

"As for White Pagoda University... This university mainly researches abilities, secret arts, cosmic phenomena, and all sorts of miscellaneous things. The various departments don't differ much, but it's still a top-tier university. They require you to pass their exclusive test before deciding on the treatment."

...

As for second-rate colleges like the Gemstone Institute, Xia Long didn't even bother mentioning them.

In the past, if a student from Yucai High School could get into college, it would've been something to boast about for a long time...

"Aren't there any super-first-rate universities?"

Fang Xing sighed.

"Who do you think you are?" Xia Long sneered, "There are only three super-first-rate universities—Blue Star University, Saint Armor University, and Nine Swords Academy. Their admission requirements get higher every year. In terms of martial arts, I reckon that this year, the fourth realm of martial arts will be the threshold for taking their entrance exams!"
