Chapter 165: National College Entrance Exam Results Released
Chapter 165: National College Entrance Exam Results Released (Requesting Monthly Votes)
Across the nation, tens of millions of examinees and millions of martial arts students simultaneously logged into the Martial Arts Education Bureau’s official website.
Lin Qi was among them. The homepage immediately displayed the exam score inquiry portal. With movements as precise and swift as his spear techniques, he entered his name, ID number, and exam registration number.
“Beep!”
“Confirm!”
Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi stood on either side, the air so thick with tension that not even a whisper dared break it.
“Beep!”
The page refreshed. Even with supercomputer-level processing power, the system lagged for a second under the weight of millions of simultaneous queries.
When the new scores loaded, three pairs of eyes scanned the screen like radar.
[Name: Lin Qi]
[Subject: Martial Arts]
[ID Number: 50023……]
[Exam Registration Number: 204606071479]
[Cultural Studies: 930 (1st)]
[Martial Arts Vital Energy Stat: 2725 (12th)]
[Martial Spirit Techniques: 1423 (6th)]
[Total Score: 1976]
[Tianhai City Rank: 1st]
[Cang Province Rank: 1st]
[National Rank: 10th]
Since there was no official “perfect score” benchmark for the National College Entrance Exam, Lin Qi’s nearly 2000-point total was staggering.
A faint smile tugged at his lips. This was exceptional—even more so than he’d expected. He’d predicted a 15th-place finish, not top ten. His national rankings—12th in Vital Energy Stat, 6th in Martial Arts—far exceeded his hopes.
He wondered what kind of storm this score would unleash.
Beside him, Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi exchanged stunned glances.
“National 10th…?” Lin Zhen swallowed hard, voice trembling.
“Huiyi, pinch me. I’m not dreaming, right?”
Fang Huiyi obliged with a merciless pinch to his waist.
“Yowch! That hurts—it’s real!” Lin Zhen’s face twisted in pain before erupting into boisterous laughter that echoed through the living room, audible even next door.
“This is real! Little Qi actually ranked 10th nationally!”
Fang Huiyi, feeling the undeniable reality, felt her own heartbeat quicken with exhilaration. She hastily pulled out her phone, fingers shaking as she dialed.
“Hey Zhe! The scores are out. Little Qi did alright—just Cang Province’s top spot and 10th nationally. I’ll host a feast in two days—you’d better come!”
Lin Zhen had already begun calling Fang Zhe, struggling to contain his excitement.
On the other end of the line, the composed Fang Zhe sat stunned.
His wife Alan asked curiously, “How did Little Qi do?”
Fang Zhe paused, then grinned.
“Cang Province first, national 10th.”
Alan clapped a hand over her mouth. “National 10th?!”
“My heavens!”
Fang Lin, watching TV nearby, turned abruptly, shock etched across his face. His cousin—the ordinary cousin he’d grown up with—was a genius ranked 10th nationally. A surge of pride welled within him.
---
“Jiang Tao, why haven’t the results come out yet?”
In Rongshan Residential District, 1st Building, 201st Room, siblings Jiang Tao and Jiang Miaoyin sat on the living room sofa. Jiang Tao wiped sweat from his palms, eyes glued to his phone.
“It’s exactly 12:00!” Jiang Miaoyin announced.
Jiang Tao rushed to the official website, entered his details, and waited. Moments later, his scores appeared—drops of sweat landing on the screen.
[Name: Jiang Tao]
[……]
[Cang Province Rank: 8th]
[National Rank: 98th]
He wiped the screen with a tissue, double-checking.
“Brother, you’re 8th in Cang Province and 98th nationally!” Jiang Miaoyin squealed.
Jiang Tao’s eyes widened. He leapt from the sofa, punching the air.
“Yes! I, Jiang Tao, cracked Cang Province’s top ten! I’m unstoppable!”
He turned toward an ancestral shrine in the corner.
“Dad, Mom—you saw it, right? I made it into Cang Province’s top ten!”
His eyes welled up. Shaking his head fiercely, he grabbed his phone.
“I’ve gotta check Brother Qi’s score. He’ll blow everyone’s mind.”
The call connected instantly.
“Hey, Taoge!”
Moments later, Jiang Tao’s eyes widened again. He exchanged glances with Jiang Miaoyin.
“Cang Province first. National 10th.”
“Brother Qi, you’ve gone beyond superhuman!”
---
In Apartment 301 of Rongshan Residential District, Lin Qi calmly ended the call. He captured his score report and sent it to Principal Jiang Zhiguang, Teacher Yan Hong, Martial Arts Instructor Zhang Cheng, Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion Deputy Master Yue Feng, and Dean Liu of Azure Firmament Martial Academy’s Sixth Institute—all in one go.
No need for tedious individual calls.
---
At Second High School’s office, Principal Jiang Zhiguang sat in his smart chair, bombarded with messages. But the one he’d waited for finally arrived.
“Project it immediately!”
His eyes scanned Lin Qi’s scores.
“Cang Province champion. National 10th.” He muttered, then laughed uproariously.
“A historic breakthrough! Since martial arts rose to prominence, no student from Cang Province has ever reached the national top ten—until now. And this genius is from my Second High School!”
He grinned, tears of joy brimming. “Little Lin Qi, you’ve made my name immortal!”
---
In another office, Teacher Yan Hong smiled while scrolling through messages.
“To have taught a student like Lin Qi… truly my fortune.”
---
Zhang Cheng, reviewing his students’ results, chuckled.
“My teaching methods are unmatched. Everyone hit their peak!”
Then he saw Lin Qi’s score.
“Good grief! Unbelievable!”
“A year ago, who could’ve predicted Lin Qi’s innate talent would be this terrifying? I’ve nurtured a legend.”
He glanced at Jiang Tao’s report.
“Taoge’s no slouch either—top-tier genius. Just… overshadowed by Lin Qi.”
---
At Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion, Yue Feng stood by his office window, watching a red metallic sphere—Alpha—hover outside.
“Project Lin Qi’s report!”
The scores materialized. After seeing the 10th-place national finish, he slammed his fist down.
“Lin Qi, you’ve exceeded even my expectations.”
“This ranks among the top S-Rank Geniuses.”
“Headquarters better have a generous reward waiting!”
