Chapter 97 Military College Entrance Examination
"Do not make jokes."
Shen Bailian smiled understandingly, looked at the girl and said, "Li Mengyi asked you to say that, right?"
When the girl heard this, the expression on her face suddenly became more innocent. She hurriedly shook her head in denial: "But I really don't know the Li Mengyi you are talking about."
"real?"
"Really! It's been me and Yanyan working at the front desk this year, not Li Mengyi."
Ding.
Shen Bailian suddenly had an unpleasant premonition in his heart. He stared closely into the girl's eyes and said, "Then how do you know the purpose of my coming here?"
"It's Coach Zhou's order."
"Zhou Changqing?"
"Yes." The girl met the boy's sharp eyes and instantly felt a strong chill coming over her, as if even her blood had stopped flowing at this moment.
Her heartbeat accelerated, her face turned pale, she took a small step back involuntarily, lowered her head, trying to avoid those heart-stopping eyes.
"Sorry, maybe I was tired and forgot about it."
Shen Bailian realized that his eyes might have made the girl feel uncomfortable. He quickly adjusted his expression and showed a soft smile.
"It's okay." The girl quickly shook her head: "Senior Brother Shen, I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Shen Bailian could say anything, the girl's figure quickly disappeared around the corner.
Shen Bailian's eyes were cold and cold, he hesitated for a moment, and finally opened Starlink and clicked on the contacts column.
[Li Mengyi (online)]
"Huh~"
Shen Bailian clicked on the chat page and briefly browsed the chat history. Although there were not many messages, they were the same as in his memory, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"so far so good."
But, the next moment.
A stream of cool air started from the soles of my feet and went straight to Tianling Gai.
Shen Bailian's smart bracelet seemed to be infected by a virus, and the chat records on the chat page disappeared one by one, as if they had been deleted.
After the chat history disappeared, the page jumped to the [Contacts] column, and Li Mengyi's avatar also turned gray.
Finally, in the [Contact] column, the contact Li Mengyi disappeared completely.
All this is completed in less than 0.1 seconds.
Ding~~~
A clear sound suddenly sounded in Shen Bailian's mind. His pupils shrank due to fear, and his breathing became rapid and heavy. Sweat gathered on his cheeks and formed crystal beads, and then dripped on the floor.
(Will you forget me?)
"Yep!"
"There are surveillance cameras at the bus station! Even if the smart bracelet is infected with a virus, the surveillance video in Bozhou City will be saved in the smart center and will definitely not be infected by the virus."
Shen Bailian murmured to himself, his eyes getting brighter. He briefly adjusted his emotions, and without having time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he immediately rushed downstairs and ran towards the Public Security Bureau.
"Hey." The girl felt the strong wind around her and frowned. She was about to say something, but after seeing the figure clearly, she could only sigh helplessly:
"Senior Brother Shen, why are you so weird today?"
"did you find it?"
"No." Shen Bailian's eyes were fixed on the surveillance video at the bus station, and his brows were frowning, "Can I watch it again?"
"It's okay." The sheriff looked at the young man, hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Shen, my son admires you very much and has been clamoring for your autograph."
"good."
Shen Bailian took the notebook without looking back.
"Hey, Xiao Shen, what are you doing on the phone?"
After the call was connected, Shen Bailian forced a smile on his face.
He hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips, and with the last glimmer of hope, he said, "Coach Zhou, do you still remember Li Mengyi?"
"Li Mengyi? I don't know him."
The summer evening breeze blows gently, taking away the scorching heat of summer and bringing a touch of coolness and comfort to the entire Bozhou City. When it passes through the treetops, the leaves rustle.
Buzz~buzz~
Shen Bailian leaned on the bench, his eyes dull, full of emptiness and coldness. He just stared blankly at the rolling clouds on the horizon, lonely and erratic, as if he had lost his life.
It wasn't until the smart hand in his hand vibrated continuously that he came back to his senses and clicked on the communication.
"Xiao Lian, are you still practicing in the martial arts hall? It's time to go home for dinner. Mom made your favorite braised pork, winter melon and pork ribs soup, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes today."
On the other end of the phone, Shen's mother's familiar voice came, warm and warm. A warm current flowed through Shen Bailian's heart, breaking the dead silence, and his eyes softened.
"Well, I'll go back later."
"Xiao Shen, your dad and I will always support you."
From Shen Bailian's tone, Shen's mother immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Mom, I love you." Shen Bailian said suddenly.
"Hey, you stupid kid, what are you talking about? Come home quickly, mom is waiting for you at home."
“What a fucking world.”
Shen Bailian stood up and silently raised his middle finger towards the double sun in the sky. Then a wry smile appeared on his face, which seemed helpless and self-deprecating.
Then he turned around and walked towards home with heavy steps.
Today's search yielded no results.
Li Mengyi seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one could remember that this sweet-toothed girl existed in the world.
All evidence about Li Mengyi's existence has been erased.
It was only today that Shen Bailian discovered that the only thing he knew was the girl's Starlink account and her hobby of eating sweets. He didn't know anything about her classmates, friends, or relatives.
In this world, there is only one creature that can do this kind of thing, and that is-god!
When it comes to gods, Shen Bailian is now powerless to do anything about it. Just like facing that high-energy particle beam, he has no power to resist and was instantly vaporized.
All he could do was to remember Li Mengyi and the girl's face.
Then.
eye for eye!
Time passed day by day, and soon July 14th came.
In the past few days, Shen Bailian has not practiced. Instead, he has focused all his energy on reviewing cultural classes, because according to Kong Chaowu, those who rank high in the college entrance examination in Bozhou City will also receive corresponding rewards.
The rewards for the top ten are worth at least 200,000 Daxia coins.
The college entrance examination, the martial arts college entrance examination, is an exam that determines the fate of millions of martial arts apprentices.
As for Daxia, the Great Wall Watch War Zone is the strongest war zone in the world, and the competition for its martial arts college entrance examination is unprecedentedly fierce, with talents like crucian carp crossing the river.
As for the examination time, it is scheduled to be in mid-July every year.
The exam will be held from July 15th to July 19th, with a total duration of 5 days.
The exam is divided into two parts.
The first item is the cultural class score. The test lasts for two days and the score accounts for 30%;
The second item is the individual martial arts test, which includes physical fitness, single-arm extreme boxing strength test and extreme speed test. The full score standard is level 8.5, and the scores account for 30%, 20% and 20% respectively.
Results will be out on July 25th.
All application materials for Shen Bailian to take the college entrance examination in advance were approved on July 13 and all were printed out in hard copy.
Outside the gate of Bozhou No. 2 Senior High School, a large number of college entrance examination candidates and parents or teachers gathered to take the exam. At the very outside of the school gate, there were rows of patrolling armed police and law enforcement robots.
All are real guns and live ammunition, always ready.
"Take the test well, don't be nervous. Be sure to relax during the test. Don't forget to write your name and fill in the answer sheet." Shen's mother excitedly held Shen Bailian's hand and said instructions.
"Hey, please don't put more psychological pressure on Xiao Lian. Isn't this a trivial matter easy for Xiao Lian?" Shen Zhenxing turned his head, "right, Xiao Lian."
"Uh-huh."
Shen Bailian smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Shen."
A familiar voice sounded behind the ears, and Zhang Xianlong and Yan Yajuan walked over quickly.
"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Yan." Shen Bailian looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "How did you get here?"
"It's not just us." Zhang Xianlong showed a smile on his face, pointed to the back and said: "They insisted on coming over to cheer you up. It happened to be a holiday and there was nothing to do, so they came together, but there were too many people, so they wouldn't let you go. Come in."
"them?"
When Shen Bailian heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Xianlong and was immediately stunned.
There were many young faces in the crowd. He was very familiar with those people. They were all classmates in the class, including Wei Peng, the girl with a round head, and the tall and thin boy.
At this moment, all the unhappiness and barriers in the past melted and disappeared.
"All candidates are asked to take out their admission tickets and enter the venue in an orderly manner. Unrelated personnel please leave as soon as possible."
Immediately, Shen Bailian followed the surging crowd, passed one inspection after another, entered the campus, and walked towards the location of his examination room.
July 25, New Era 345.
Shen Zhenxing and Shen Ma sat on either side of Shen Bailian. They looked nervously at the light curtain on the table, feeling uneasy.
Especially Shen Zhenxing, he would take a sip of water from time to time and then check to see if the time was up.
"Don't worry, you two, there will definitely be no problem."
Shen Bailian smiled and comforted the two of them.
Now Tiangang Academy does not have high requirements for his grades. As long as he can pass the line, he will definitely be able to obtain the Yaori-level Dragon Gate Seed anyway, and some minor details are completely unimportant.
Shen Bailian really wanted to tell his parents that he had obtained the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed.
But he can't.
Similarly, this matter will also be hidden, and the information put on the surface is the Huiyue-level Dragon Gate species that he was previously awarded for obtaining the third-level combat hero fearless medal.
Only people with relevant permissions can view real information.
Because geniuses were killed by snipers in the history of Daxia. With the rise of great powers, the enemies were not only ferocious beasts and gods, but also enemies from within.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I kind of..." Shen Zhenxing couldn't continue mid-sentence.
Because he didn't know how to describe his current mood. If he was nervous, he was definitely there, but it wasn't that he didn't understand his son's strength.
Studying God is not just talk.
He was just afraid that Shen Bailian would be hit if his grades were not good.
Finally, as time passed by bit by bit, it came to ten o'clock in the morning.
Both Shen's father and Shen's mother looked at Shen Bailian and hesitated to speak.
Shen Bailian received the eye contact signals from the two and immediately entered the official website. He skillfully entered his ID card and admission ticket, and then completed the iris authentication.
"The candidate's identity has been confirmed."
Swish!
The score page popped up instantly. Shen's father and mother hurried over, more excited than Shen Bailian himself, staring at the score on it:
Name: Shen Bailian
Category: Military student
Cultural courses: 298
Physical fitness: 265
One-arm maximum punching power: 188
Explosive speed: 190
Additional points: 30 (Fearless Shield collective honorary title +10, third-level combat hero fearless medal +20)
Total score: 971
Bozhou City ranking: 4
Northern border ranking: 48
National ranking: 172
"Fourth place! Our son is fourth! It's a great honor to our ancestors. Our Shen family has stood up!"
Looking at the total score of 971 points and the fourth place in the entire Bozhou City ranking.
Shen Zhenxing and his mother hugged Shen Bailian tightly, crying with joy.
Especially Shen's mother, she looked at her son with heartache. He was diagnosed as mentally retarded by doctors when he was a child, and he almost suffered school bullying when he was in junior high school.
She had watched her son practice until late at night countless times, and his tired appearance deeply hurt her heart.
One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.
After decades of hard study and continuous practice day and night, he finally ushered in this moment.
"Only 172?"
Shen Bailian looked at his national ranking. Although he was mentally prepared for the number of top talents in Daxia, he was still a little surprised.
This number is not a small number. It means that among the candidates participating in the martial arts college entrance examination this time, there are no less than 172 martial arts apprentices with physical fitness of 7.5+.
Although there are definitely some bloodline martial artists among them.
But when it comes to the official warrior stage, there is basically no distinction between bloodline warriors and pure-blood warriors. They are all Daxia warriors, and they are put together to compete fairly and impartially.
However, this number is basically the same as the number of people in Daxia who obtain the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed every year.
Buzz~buzz~
Shen Zhenxing felt the vibration of the smart bracelet, so he adjusted his mood and answered the phone: "Hello, Dachui, what's up?"
"How did the test go?"
"Oh, not so good, the child didn't perform well." Shen Zhenxing, who was crying with joy a second ago, immediately stood up, shook his head as he walked, and sighed: "I only got 971 points, 29 points away from the full score."
"Puff." Shen's mother couldn't help laughing at Shen's father's performance, but her eyes were full of love. She turned to Shen Bailian and told him:
"Don't forget to tell your class teacher and Teacher Zhang, as well as your classmates and friends. The most important thing is Duan Wuya, Teacher Duan and City Lord Kong who came to our house before, you must tell them both."
"Okay."
Shen Bailian nodded and was about to go back to the room.
"One more thing, when you tell your elders about your results, call them instead of using Star Alliance to send messages. This will show more respect for them."
"Got it."
Some readers may wonder why I am ranked only fourth. That's because all the previous competitions and trials have restrictions, and only pure-blooded humans can participate.
The bloodline warriors and the path taken by the Ascension Martial Hall have been briefly mentioned in the previous article. There is definitely more than one path to cultivation.
There is also the issue of map size. The fictional world, don't use reality to fit it. It won't be small; there are 24 cities in the North alone, and Bozhou City is just a small city on the border.
Tomorrow should usher in a small climax, and today will be updated as usual.
