Chương 74: War God’s : — Chapter 74 - Chen Yuting: Really Looking Forward to Tomorrow's Talent Awakening!

Martial Arts Building, second-floor backstage.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!" Zheng Changhong stared at the scores streaming across the screen and erupted into manic laughter. He swore, even awakening his high-grade Soldier Soul talent 'Cangshan Blade Bone' back in the day hadn't made him this happy.

"723 points, Old Zhao. Do you know what that means?"

"Unprecedented in Dragon Nation history!"

"Absolutely unprecedented!"

"Three boundary-breaking scores, fourth-stage technique, Return to Simplicity realm martial arts, and a life force of 101."

"Before the Martial Exam, no martial artist has ever achieved this. Not even the first Martial God, Zhou Tianlong, back in his day!"

"In recent years, at most someone managed two of them."

"HAHAHAHA—!" Zheng Changhong laughed so hard he nearly choked. It was hard to describe what he was feeling. Like playing a gacha game. You thought you'd pulled an SR, then realized, no, it's an SSR! And looking closer, damn, it's a limited-edition SSR! One no one else had ever pulled before! Jackpot! Beside him, Department Head Zhao of the Divine Sword Club stared blankly at that glaring score. For a moment, he had zero interest in monitoring the other students.

"How is this possible..." he muttered. How could a student reach this level? He looked at his friend, unable to comprehend. How the hell did this bastard run into such a talent? No Divine Sword Club across all of Dragon Nation had ever encountered someone this good, right?

"You better eat well for the rest of your life." His tone could grind teeth.

"So, have Wang Xian's scores come out yet?" Tan Tianze had been waiting forever. Finally, a scout from Fourth High came back to report. Every major high school had connections, more or less. Cousins on this side, cousins on that side. There was always someone who could tap into Seventh High's network to dig up information.

"They're... they're out..." The scout student had a few pimples on his face, his complexion flushed red.

"Did they say how many points? Full marks or what?"

"7... 7..."

"7? 7 what? Wait, full marks is only 600. Where does a 7 come from?"

"Seems like three boundary breaks. 723 points." One by one, the Fourth High students' eyes went wide. What the hell.

"Let me calculate... three boundary breaks... fourth-stage technique... life force reached 101? No way. Without awakening talent, you can train life force to this level?"

"Fake, right? Not just Rong City, has anyone in all of Western Shu, or even Dragon Nation, ever done this?"

"No. The last was two boundary breaks, fourth-stage technique and 100 life force. That was Yun Tianyang from Tian Du Affiliated High in Tian Du City. He was the national Martial Exam top scorer that year, right? A few years ago. They say he's already close to sixth realm now, and he's not even 30."

"Too terrifying... is this even human?"

"A peerless genius like this—what kind of talent will he awaken?"

"Even if it's the trashiest low-grade talent, he'll be a Grandmaster in the future. Martial God is even possible. He's not even on the same level as us..."

"True. Dragon Nation does have one example of someone reaching Martial God with low-grade talent, though only one case..." Tan Tianze listened in a daze, unsure what he was thinking. Suddenly, excitement surged through him. His eyes blazed with intense light. His whole being ignited.

"To be in the same cohort as this kind of genius, and even compete on the same stage in the upcoming real combat assessment..."

"That will absolutely be an unforgettable experience for a lifetime!"

"Awesome. Just too awesome!" He laughed. First High. It was already dusk. Most of First High's students had dispersed. After all, in the eyes of First High students, in Rong City, or even all of Western Shu, no one could surpass He Yiming in these three assessment scores. At most, they'd tie. Or maybe a few points higher. Nothing worth comparing. Huff, huff... A student came sprinting over, cheeks red, gasping for breath.

"What's with you? In such a rush?" Lin Ao looked at the student. He'd actually wanted to leave long ago. But seeing He Yiming seemed to still be waiting for something, he thought it might be interesting. Might as well wait a bit.

"Big news!" The student gulped.

"Seventh High... Seventh High has someone named Wang Xian. His score is terrifyingly high!"

"How high can 'high' be?" Lin Ao laughed.

"600?"

"700."

"How much?" Lin Ao froze.

"700?"

"720?" Xu Rong beside him suddenly said. Lin Ao quickly caught on. Over 700, that could only happen if all three items had surpassed the maximum in the most extreme scenario. Because no matter which two surpassed the limit, it still wouldn't reach 700. Only if all three exceeded. Then it could be 700, and in that case, it had to be 720.

"It's 723." The student lowered his voice.

"Life force 101, one point over. The scores have already spread like wildfire. The researchers haven't dodged it at all, so the score must be real."

"He must have awakened his talent early, right?" Lin Ao couldn't believe it, his expression lost.

"How could it be this exaggerated?" The score was so absurd he started grasping for excuses to close the gap in his chest. The difference was too ridiculous. Just the first assessment, and he was already over 200 points behind. Damn it. I'm a genius of First High!

"Wang Xian..." Xu Rong murmured the name twice.

"Didn't expect Seventh High to have this kind of genius... The Martial Exam has had dozens of cohorts now. This should be the first case. Never heard of anyone surpassing the limit on all three before..."

"Really exaggerated."

"Then this year's real combat assessment might be a bit more interesting..." In the crowd, only He Yiming said nothing.

"So you're Wang Xian." He smiled slightly, thoughtful.

"Bro, you're feeling completely unfamiliar to me right now."

"Spill it, did you awaken some kind of system?"

"Got a ring? Is there an old grandpa inside?" Zhou Xukun picked his nose with one hand, pointing at Wang Xian.

"Your progress is way too insane, isn't it? Half a year ago, you little weak chicken, you couldn't even beat me... Or have you been hiding your strength the whole time, you dog?"

"Just waiting for the Martial Exam to pull off a huge flex, right?" He was the first one present to snap out of it.

"Maybe I'm reborn?" Wang Xian said with a smile.

"The world was destroyed, the Martial God returned to save it, that's a pretty good script."

"Reborn?" Zhou Xukun frowned.

"That trope's not great, too old. If you're reborn, then tell me what kind of mess I'll turn into in the future."

"You married your own teacher. Counts as a life winner." The moment he finished, Zhou Xukun's eyes lit up.

"Damn, if you put it that way, you really might be reborn after all!"

"That fits my psychological expectations!"

"Then how many kids do I have?"

"Three."

"Then you're wrong. You can't be reborn. I swore an oath, either I have none in this life, or at most one." Zhou Xukun shook his head repeatedly, indicating Wang Xian was wrong. He didn't believe a single word.

"How could I possibly have three kids." It is impossible. But that wife of yours, her first pregnancy is triplets, one boy and two girls at that. Wang Xian thought to himself. Otherwise, why would I say you're the absolute life winner? Even within Seventh High, Zhou Xukun might not be the strongest. But he was definitely the one who lived the most comfortably. So in this life, Wang Xian hadn't really interfered with him. After all, the guy sailed smoothly on his own and could live quite well.

If Wang Xian tried to change anything, it might actually affect him negatively.

"Could it be Ye classmate who influenced you?" Zhou Xukun seemed to think of something, putting on a thoughtful expression. Wang Xian paused slightly. He smiled and didn't refute it. You're not wrong. It really was her who influenced me. Only, it was in the previous life. Wang Xian quietly watched Ye Miyue as she walked into the testing room. In his heart, he suddenly felt a bit curious about what talent Ye Miyue would awaken.

After all, for most of the classmates present, he roughly knew what talents they would awaken. Only for Ye Miyue, he didn't know what specific talent it was. As if sensing Wang Xian's gaze, Ye Miyue glanced back at Wang Xian, then hurriedly lowered her head and walked into the testing room. Wang Xian was watching Ye Miyue. And Chen Yuting was watching Wang Xian. Her face bore a somewhat inscrutable smile.

"723 points..." Chen Yuting muttered a few times.

"Really looking forward to tomorrow's talent awakening..." Chen Yuting looked toward the dusky sky in the distance. At that moment, as the sun set, the layer of golden light draped over Wang Xian also vanished. ➤ Next: King-Tier Talent, Alluring Demonic Mara Body
