Chapter 20: Full Marks in Liberal Arts
Tianshui calendar, January 8, 2022.
Every year, January 7 and 8 were the day of the Tianshui College Entrance Examination in liberal arts and the College Entrance Examination in martial arts.
The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination was extremely important to all senior martial artists under the age of 18.
Because in the Tianshui Kingdom, as long as one was over the age of 18, they were not allowed to take the College Entrance Examination, so there was only one chance.
Once the mood of the day was out of balance, there would be no second chance for abnormal performance.
The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination lasted one day.
8:30-11:30 a.m., liberal arts exam 150 points.
1:30-7:30 p.m., martial arts exam 350 points.
Noon.
All non-exam related personnel were waiting anxiously outside the exam room.
Besides the parents, there were also many reporters and various school personnel.
The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination was the highlight of the year, and everyone was paying attention to it.
...
11:11 a.m.
The liberal arts examination had entered the final stage.
Lin Yuan calmly glanced at the time on the mechanical screen.
After checking it twice, he pressed the hand-in button on the screen.
The next moment, the full score of 150.00 jumped to the center of the screen!
At the same time, this liberal arts score was naturally recorded into Lin Yuan's College Entrance Examination report card.
"Hey."
"It's too easy."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and pulled out his College Entrance Examination report card.
Lin Yuan was not surprised by this full score.
It should be known that the liberal arts exam was much more difficult than the martial arts exam, and the Joint Entrance Exam was also much more difficult than the College Entrance Examination.
In the previous Joint Entrance Exam of the ten schools, Lin Yuan had scored a record-breaking 497 points.
With his standard, it was simply easy and enjoyable to take the liberal arts exam paper.
"I wonder how Wu Di did in the exam."
Lin Yuan sat in his seat and thought that Wu Di's liberal arts results should be the only factor that restricted them from joining the military academy.
Ring!
The moment the College Entrance Examination bell rang, countless examinees in the venue who were badly battered looked at their exam screens in despair!
The final results of every examinee appeared in front of their eyes.
"It's over..."
"Aih, it's fine. There's still martial arts exam in the afternoon."
"20 points are missing. It's over."
"My dream had been shattered..."
Every exam in the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination would give score feedback on the spot.
The entire process was a test of an examinee's strength and mentality.
If a certain section went awry and affected the subsequent exams, the whole game would be lost.
Even if the liberal arts exam in the morning did not perform well, the martial arts exam in the afternoon still had a chance to reverse the situation.
...
The entrance of the exam hall had long been surrounded by examinees' parents and media reporters.
As the examinees surged out of the school, these media reporters continuously searched for a few key middle school martial artists.
Lin Yuan had just stepped out of the entrance of the examination hall when he felt countless flashlights flashing at him.
"Hello, Lin Yuan, excuse me!"
"Hello, I'm a reporter from the Four Directions Television Station, can you..."
Faced with the siege of the reporters, Li Jinnan, the head of the Liberal Arts Department of Diyi Middle School, immediately rushed over to protect Lin Yuan and forced his way out of the crowd.
"Sorry, excuse me."
"Excuse me, please!"
Ever since Lin Yuan displayed his top-grade spirit seed, Lin Yuan had become the focus of attention this year.
He was a genius in liberal arts, a prodigy in martial arts, a rare spirit seed, and a top-grade handsome guy...
These topics were all focused on the same young man, so naturally, he attracted the attention of the media.
One of the articles, entitled "Lin Yuan, Sharpening His Sword Using Three Years!", even became a trending article.
The article was exaggerated and made assumptions out of thin air. Even Lin Yuan's family was greatly affected.
Li Jinnan was a member of the College Entrance Examination Team of Qingshan Diyi Middle School. He protected the students who might admit to the five major colleges and didn't let the reporters affect their state for the martial arts exam in the afternoon. That was the main event.
Moreover, after learning that Lin Yuan had a top-grade spirit seed, Li Jinnan had no opinion about Lin Yuan at all.
"How many points? Full marks?"
After squeezing out of the crowd with Lin Yuan, Li Jinnan asked.
"Yes, full marks."
Li Jinnan snorted lightly and said with a smile, "Humph."
"If you don't get full marks in the liberal arts exam, it will be too embarrassing."
...
The martial arts exam would be officially held at 1:30 p.m., so time was tight.
Every year, Qingshan Diyi Middle School would set up a resting area around each exam venue.
It would provide the examinees of Qingshan Diyi Middle School with food, rest, and adjustment.
Especially before the exam, they had to stay excited but not too nervous.
"Lin Yuan!"
As soon as Lin Yuan entered the door, Wu Di sat at the dining table and waved at Lin Yuan excitedly.
Seeing Wu Di's expression, Lin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's your score?"
Sure enough, Wu Di raised his head and puffed out his chest.
"126."
"How about you? 150?"
Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes."
Everyone was not surprised by Lin Yuan's perfect score.
This was absolute capability. Out of ten times, Lin Yuan got a perfect score nine times.
Among a few of them, only Song Cheng had a slightly solemn expression.
After talking about each other's results, Lin Yuan comforted him.
"It's okay. The martial arts exam is the main point this afternoon."
"It won't affect much if you lose 10 or so points."
Song Cheng's usual score was around 125 points. He scored 109 points, which was a little abnormal.
"Yeah, I know."
"I just feel that it's a pity that I didn't perform my best."
Lin Yuan patted Song Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's warm up together later."
"Prepare well."
...
The seemingly short time in the afternoon was actually very crucial for the examinees.
Before the start of the College Entrance Examination for the martial arts exam, they had to mobilize their entire bodies to ensure that they were in an exciting fighting state. It was easier for them to perform to their best in terms of strength, speed, and combat events.
Before the exam officially began in the afternoon, the atmosphere outside of Qingshan Diyi Middle School, one of the main exam halls of the College Entrance Examination, was completely different.
The examinees were nervous, but they were also exuding an amazing spirit. All the surrounding spectators were cheering for the examinees who were about to participate in the martial arts exam!
"Students, this is an important hurdle in your lives. Don't feel burdened by it. Perform your best!"
...
"Qingshan Diyi Middle School will always be proud of you!"
Li Jinnan held a megaphone and roared loudly. He constantly encouraged the martial arts examinees of Qingshan Diyi Middle School and stimulated their fighting spirit!
At the front of the team, eight level 3 martial artists, including Pei Xi, Jiang Yining, Lu Kai, and Wu Di, led the examinees of Qingshan Diyi Middle School into the examination room one after another!
In other directions, teams from Dier Middle School, Disan Middle School, Disi Middle School, and private high schools also stepped into the exam hall one after another!
Various roars seemed to rise at this moment.
"Oh!!"
"Go!"
"Brothers, go!"
Among the crowd of Diyi Middle School, roars rose one after another, and even Lin Yuan's eyes emitted a shocking fighting spirit.
This was their first enemy on the road of martial arts!
The exam hall of Diyi Middle School was one of the main exam halls this year, and the whole school was divided into many areas.
The exam hall of level 2 with six meridians, and the exam hall of level 2 with seven meridians...
All the exam halls were outdoor, so it was easier to display the highest level of a martial artist!
"Level 2 with ten meridians."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and walked toward the area for level 2 with ten meridians according to the arrangement of the staff in the exam hall.
In each area, there was a team of soldiers wearing the blue military uniform of the Tianshui Kingdom standing in every corner of the area to prevent accidents from happening.
In the battle area, there was an entire team of doctors.
In the battles of martial artists, especially in the Combat Test, once the fatal parts were attacked, it was easy for dangerous situations to occur. It was also to prevent accidents from happening.
