Chapter 120: A Perfect Score
Chapter 120: A Perfect Score (Monthly Vote Request)
Across various academies, vital energy assessments were underway.
The sudden surges of top-tier prodigies' vital energy stats left countless ordinary geniuses stunned.
"Compared to them, I'm just a waste of space", a student muttered helplessly.
Next came the martial arts assessment.
"I wonder how many students will earn a perfect score this time?" a teacher mused aloud.
Tianhai First High School: Guo Heng and Wang Qiufeng simultaneously entered their Neural Pods.
Tianhai No.3 High School: A graceful, attractive girl calmly shut her Neural Pod door.
Egret City, Shuangshi High School: The burly Chen Li rubbed his chin before stepping into a Neural Pod.
...
Tianhai No.2 High School, Virtual Classroom
A tingling sensation coursed through him as Lin Qi opened his eyes, finding himself in his Personal Space.
With practiced ease, he accessed the official website and selected the martial arts assessment option.
[Examinee: Lin Qi]
[Exam Registration Number: ...]
[Manual: Mountain-Shattering Spear Method]
After clicking "Confirm", Lin Qi reappeared in the familiar assessment chamber—a silent void.
"Welcome, Examinee Lin Qi, to the Martial Arts Assessment."
His eyes locked onto the apparition materializing before him—a figure bearing the glaring numeral "10" across its chest.
The No.10 Examiner. The ultimate trial in the Xia Kingdom's martial arts assessments. Only those who defeated the top ten examiners could face this opponent. A Second Stage Initiate's might.
Gripping his spear with one hand, Lin Qi stared down the No.10 Examiner.
Compared to the final exams last semester, his strength had undergone a complete transformation.
He wondered—was there an even stronger examiner beyond this one?
[Assessment Task: Defeat the No.10 Examiner!]
[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]
[Martial Arts Assessment Begins!]
"Whoosh!"
As the AI's final syllable faded, the No.10 Examiner vanished like lightning, its silver long spear lancing forward.
"Shuaaa!"
The spear cleaved air, tearing through space like a meteor streaking across the moon.
Lin Qi swung his great spear, unleashing the Mountain-Shattering Spear Method with thunderous might.
This time, he needed no defensive techniques like the Rock Solid Spear Techniques. He'd chosen direct confrontation.
Charging forward like a rampaging tiger, his black long spear arced like a striking serpent.
"Boom!!"
The clash erupted, sending shockwaves rippling through the chamber.
The ferocious force jolted through their bodies. Lin Qi staggered back two steps before lunging again, his spear sweeping overhead like a tempestuous gust, as if scouring the heavens.
The martial arts assessment, unlike the Crimson Realm Arena, suppressed both vital energy stats and physical constitutions to equal levels. Victory depended purely on technique.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The examiner and Lin Qi collided violently, their spears hammering against each other.
Lin Qi's gaze tracked the examiner's spear techniques. Once, he'd been utterly helpless against these moves—unable to trace their trajectories, dying swiftly each time. Now, they fought as equals. This was his progress.
He'd mastered the Mountain-Shattering Spear Method completely. Its essence perfected. Every motion ingrained in his soul.
Twelve forms flashed through his mind as he analyzed the examiner's movements, predicting its next strike.
"Boom!"
The examiner shifted techniques, its body twisting as it rotated the silver spear. A whirlwind erupted.
Like a drilling dragon, the spear pierced forward, screeching through the air.
Mountain-Shattering Spear Method, Third Annihilation Move—Rockburst Drill!
Lin Qi sensed imminent death. One misstep, and he'd perish.
His body flashed backward instinctively, evading by less than ten centimeters.
Unfazed, he suddenly kicked off the ground, his spine coiling like a dragon. Tendons across his body tensed.
"Boom!"
His strike deflected the attack upward. Dropping low, he pivoted—his black spear spiraling like a coiled black dragon.
The thrust shot forth like a straight black line, blazing with speed.
Fundamental Spear Manual—Rear-Horse Thrust!
Not every victory required a killing blow.
"Krrsh!"
A flash of cold light—one instant later, the No.10 Examiner stood frozen, a spearpoint piercing its throat.
The battle ended.
Lin Qi's body tilted precariously, stabilized only by his waist's strength.
The silver spear had grazed his neck, missing by a centimeter. One miscalculation, and he'd be the one falling.
"Boom!"
The No.10 Examiner collapsed, dissolving into nothingness.
[Congratulations! You've defeated the No.10 Examiner and completed the assessment task!]
Lin Qi stared at the notification, silent.
That's all?
Only ten examiners. A disappointed frown crossed his face—this hadn't tested his limits.
Shaking his head, he chose to disconnect.
...
Meanwhile, in two other assessment chambers:
[Assessment failed. You have died.]
Li Zhou read the message, sighing.
"Still not enough. Without defeating the No.10, no perfect score."
"I wonder if Lin Qi could do it?"
Pondering, he disconnected.
...
"Dammit!"
"So close!"
"If only I'd trained harder, taken it more seriously..."
"Just a hair's breadth faster, and I'd have won!"
Jiang Tao clenched his teeth, frustration boiling within.
With no choice, he exited the assessment.
Moments later, he emerged from his Neural Pod, scanning the room—last to finish.
Had he surpassed Brother Qi?
...
"All assessments concluded. Return to class or use free time."
"Reconvene in one hour. Dismissed!"
Zhang Cheng departed, checking Lin Qi's results on his tablet.
"As expected—this was no challenge for him."
A smile spread. "I can't wait to see Lin Qi's provincial ranking. He might set a record."
...
Exiting the virtual classroom, Lin Qi was immediately ambushed.
"Brother Qi, did you beat the No.10?" Jiang Tao blurted, ears straining.
Others hung on every word.
Lin Qi shook his head. "Taozi, don't you think that's a stupid question?"
Jiang Tao froze. Wait—did that mean...?
Had Brother Qi really defeated the No.10?
A perfect score?
Then the grade's top spot...
...
Back at his martial arts hall, Lin Qi began training while awaiting results.
Stripping off his shirt revealed gravity rings on his limbs.
Gripping the Blackhorn Spear, he drilled spear techniques.
"Haaah!"
Breath controlled, wrist snapping—a spear flashed under gravity ring resistance.
Half an hour later, his arms trembled violently, aching.
Teeth gritted, he pushed onward.
