High School Student with Immortal Race System
Chapter 157 156: Full Marks... Full Marks... Still Full MarksThe third event of Subject One: "Extreme Evasion."
Yang Shen easily secured his third perfect score with a result of zero hits in 100 seconds.
At this point, he had achieved a perfect score on all of Subject One.
The benefit of purely numerical events is that you get your score as soon as you finish.
Three consecutive perfect scores in the sub-events had already caused a huge stir at the Qiu Jing Middle School testing center. Many people now knew that a prodigy had appeared at this location.
And after those who witnessed the miracle compared notes, especially after confirming with students from Nanliang High School, they learned that this prodigy's name was Yang Shen.
The very same young hero who had been reported on in the Big Pharmacy incident over a month ago.
During the noon break, Yang Shen met up with his aunt and the others, bringing his perfect scores and reporting the good news.
The four little ones didn't really understand how hard it was to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam, but that didn't stop them from happily chirping and circling their big brother.
After the family had lunch, Yang Shen didn't linger and headed into the testing center early.
His aunt asked if he wanted to take a nap, but Yang Shen refused.
'Sleep? I haven't slept in over a month...'
'How could someone my age fall asleep?'
In the afternoon, Subject Four, the "Written and Practical Exam for the Sixth Set of Initial Realm Body Refining Fist," was still Yang Shen's domain.
On the written portion, Yang Shen's paper was completely filled out. He figured if it wasn't a perfect score, he had lost one or two points at most.
When it was time for the practical demonstration, he queued up and entered the practice room. The moment he appeared, the examiners behind the one-way glass erupted in a clamor.
"That student's here! Yang Shen from Nanliang! He's in our group."
"Look sharp! Double-check the equipment, make sure all the sensors are working correctly!"
Multiple practice rooms operated simultaneously in a double-blind, randomized system, so no one knew which student they would get before they walked through the door.
But Yang Shen's face was very recognizable, and his entrance immediately caused a commotion.
It's no wonder they were excited. His stunning performance in the morning had already brought Yang Shen's name to the attention of every examiner at the Qiu Jing Middle School testing center.
This was the kind of monstrously talented student that Jinshui District might not see even once in a decade!
No matter which session Yang Shen participated in, the corresponding proctoring team would be paying extremely close attention.
There were no vested interests, just the pure excitement of witnessing a star on the rise!
"I wonder how well Yang Shen has mastered the 'Sixth Set.' Could it be that he's only strong in the purely numerical events?"
"Impossible. I asked a teacher from Nanliang during the lunch break. His rating on the monthly exam was Level 9, and he even got five special bonus points."
"Level 9... there might not be a single one in all of Jinshui District. That's incredible."
"Do you think he could go even further? Reach Level 10?"
No one responded to that. Level 10 was simply too difficult. Some of them had proctored many exam seasons but had never seen a single one.
Even the annual Champion Scholar might not reach Level 10.
This was because raising one's Martial Arts Realm benefited all subjects, whereas purely polishing the "Sixth Set" only benefited one.
At least, that was the case at higher levels.
The only difference between Level 9 and Level 10 on paper was the bonus points; the base score was the same. But the effort required was immense, and few people would delve into it so deeply.
After calming himself slightly, the lead examiner spoke into the microphone in a deep voice, "Examinee Yang Shen, you have one minute to prepare. Please raise your hand to signal when you are ready."
Yang Shen nodded and glanced around at the dense array of sensors and cameras.
It was far more advanced and comprehensive than the setup for the monthly exam. This wasn't Qiu Jing Middle School's equipment, but the standardized set deployed by Yanhua Official for the college entrance exam each year.
He stood with his hands behind his back, gradually activating his abilities.
'Buddha Sound Body Refining Technique... 30% volume should be enough. I can turn up the Rising Sun Wheel a bit higher... The other techniques aren't necessary.'
He raised his hand to signal. After hearing the tone, Yang Shen immediately began his demonstration of the "Sixth Set."
For a moment, the only sound in the spacious practice room was the whoosh of Powerful Qi from his every punch, slicing through the air.
The examiners in the control room watched Yang Shen on the screen, a single thought in their minds.
'Perfect...'
'Exquisite...'
Just by watching, they could feel a Harmonious and powerful spiritual resonance.
A mere ten minutes later, Yang Shen completed his demonstration, and the control room once again erupted.
"The objective metrics... have already reached 'Rating Level 10'... As for the subjective score... I'm not worthy of grading him! His form is much better than mine."
"A Level 9 rating requires discussion and confirmation by the entire subject group. A Level 10 rating must be reported to the chief examiner for review and decided upon in a meeting..."
"I'll go report it to the chief examiner right now... Did we really just get a Level 10?"
——————
The first day of the college entrance exam ended smoothly. Yang Shen felt neither nervous nor elated; he simply met up with his family and calmly returned home.
'I came to this exam for three things: a perfect score, a perfect score, and another perfect score!'
On the way, Lei Lv listened to Yang Shen's interesting stories from the testing center, his eyes filled with admiration.
Yang Shen patted Lei Lv's head. "You all have your exam in six years. What kind of scores do you want to get?"
Lei Lv mustered his courage and said, "I... I want to get a perfect score too, just like Big Brother!"
Yang Shen shook his head slightly. "That's not enough."
Lei Lv: "Huh?"
Yang Shen smiled. "Not just a perfect score. You have to get as many bonus points as possible. A perfect score is the limit of the exam, not your limit."
'Six years of Cultivation before their exam... even with the worst aptitude, Yang Shen couldn't even imagine what level they'd reach in six years.'
'How could a person be satisfied with just a perfect score?'
'Shouldn't you also aim for some Fist Intent? And for acting heroically, shouldn't you kill a couple of bad guys? Isn't getting a Level 10 on the Sixth Set for 10 bonus points just a basic move?'
These were all things Yang Shen had achieved, and there were many more he couldn't get.
Provincial Outstanding Student: +5 points. Martial Arts Technical Innovation Award: +10 points. First Prize in a National Competition: +10 points. Taking the exam at the Innate Realm: +20 points.
Yang Shen himself didn't have enough time to pursue these, but the four little ones had plenty of time to plan.
Yang Shen ruffled Lei Lv's hair. "From now on, your scores are only allowed to be higher than mine, not lower. Got it?"
Lei Lv nodded emphatically.
...
On the second day, Yang Shen took the liberal arts and math exams, the Subject Two Power test, and the Subject Three loaded march.
In the liberal arts, he had no weak subjects, and math was his strongest.
In Martial Arts, however, he had no strong subjects—they were all "perfect score subjects"!
These monstrous results not only spread rapidly among the student body but also attracted the attention of the Jianghuai education system.
In just forty-eight hours, Yang Shen's name had been mentioned countless times. After his personal reputation was converted into family reputation, it had also soared by more than 30 points.
It had now reached 195, just one step away from completing the main quest.
Still, his personal reputation was being dragged down by the family's, with the conversion rate being too low. This was one of Yang Shen's important tasks for the summer vacation.
It's easy for one person to become famous, but far more difficult for an entire family.
He planned to use the "genius" reputation from this exam to systematically build up the concept of the Yang Family.
Late at night, in an office somewhere.
The teachers of the college entrance exam workgroup were still busy all night, compiling and organizing data.
A middle-aged teacher cracked his neck, his Martial Cultivation making his vertebrae pop loudly.
Life was a blade that scraped the bones; decades were enough to cause all sorts of minor ailments even in the body of a Martial Artist.
The middle-aged teacher said, "I heard a very impressive girl appeared at Testing Center No. 3. Is she a shoo-in for 'Jiangti'?"
Another person replied, "Seems so. Jinshui District has a lot of good prospects this year."
The college entrance exam was still in progress, so students' names, exam numbers, and scores were all information that was forbidden to be leaked.
Of course, that couldn't be helped if someone was already famous. After all, you couldn't tell who was who on a liberal arts paper once the name was covered, but the Martial Arts exams were all conducted in person, so faces were recognizable.
This was especially true for those with eye-catching performances; everyone could see their skill without even waiting for the scores.
Another teacher said, "Speaking of which, my testing center also has two decent students. Though not as dazzling, judging by their level, they're also prospects who have a chance at getting into 'Jiangti'."
"Oh? That impressive? Jinshui District is having a great harvest this year!"
Based on previous years, if a place like Jinshui District produced even one or two "Jiangti students," it would be enough for the Bureau of Education to slam the table and boast about it during meetings.
Just then, a teacher who had just entered the room overheard them and said teasingly, "That's nothing. Today, I really saw what you call a monster."
"What do you mean? How monstrous could he be?"
The man held up one finger. "How about this: in the past two days, he's gotten a perfect score on every single Martial Arts event with an immediate result."
"What?"
"For real?!"
The office erupted. The rules forbade them from gossiping about examinees, but pulling an all-nighter was boring, wasn't it?
Someone said in astonishment, "Perfect scores? Are you sure? The perfect score standard for every Martial Arts event in the college exam is set at the boundary between Late-stage Marrow Refining and Innate. Don't tell me this student has already reached the Innate Realm?"
A prodigy like that might only appear once every few years in all of Yanhua!
And the key thing was, this was in Jinshui District!
The man shook his head and smiled. "Not Innate. I won't say his specific realm, but this student is special. He mastered 'Fist Intent' in high school, and he even got a full Level 10 rating on the 'Sixth Set of Initial Body Forging Technique.' You can just imagine."
"Wait... Fist Intent? I heard there's only one person in all of Jinshui District who mastered Fist Intent in high school. Isn't that the young hero?"
The man clicked his tongue. "I never said who it was. I'm just discussing what I saw today with you all."
This was basically an admission.
Everyone in the office fell into deep thought.
'Basically perfect scores in all Martial Arts subjects... +10 points for Fist Intent, +10 points for a max-level Sixth Set, and I think there was also a heroic deed bonus?'
'Is he trying to become the Champion Scholar of Jianghuai City?!'
'A phoenix has risen from a chicken coop?!'
