Chapter 106: Talented Top Students
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Principal Zhong Tongshan’s words made Chu Lingjun do a double take.
The martial arts college entrance examination was organized in provincial units. All students from the province would have to take the college entrance examination together!
The number of students taking the college entrance examination every year was close to 600,000 to 700,000 of them!
That was an astonishing number!
There were 21 prefecture-level cities in Baiyue Province, including two sub-provincial cities, Yangcheng and Pengcheng.
There were 119 county-level administrative districts, including 60 municipal districts, 20 county-level cities, 36 counties, and 3 autonomous counties.
Due to its special geographical location, Quicksand Town was an important military base to resist the exotic beasts in the Iron Peak Mountain. It was one of the 20 county-level cities.
Overall, Quicksand Town’s educational resources, martial arts resources, and cultivation resources were above average among the 20 county-level cities.
However, if they compared their resources with the 60 other city districts, especially the two sub-provincial cities of Yangcheng and Pengcheng, there was a stark contrast!
To put it simply, Quicksand Town was a third or fourth-tier city.
Even if it could not be compared to first-tier and second-tier cities like Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Zhucheng, Guancheng, and Chancheng, it was still considered a stronghold.
The larger the city, the more allocation of resources were given to the martial arts and cultivation centers.
These cities would also give birth to more martial arts geniuses!
Chu Lingjun to be ranked in the top 5,000 was considered a big feat. This was because in a ranking of hundreds of thousands of people, a small realm could be separated by hundreds or thousands of rankings.
“Are you still going to participate in the college entrance examination? Maybe you can study for another year and participate when you’re in the second year of high school. You might be able to get the top scholar in the college entrance examination then.” Zhong Tongshan laughed.
“No need. I want to do it this year.” Chu Lingjun thought for a second and said.
There was still half a year left. With the electric eel clone, he could definitely surpass those geniuses.
“Sure, it’s good to be confident in yourself.”
Zhong Tongshan smiled and took out a few things from the drawer.
Chu Lingjun was very familiar with one of them. It was the Rank Three spirit weapon that helped him find divine blood warriors, the Astral Helmet.
The other item was a folder.
Zhong Tongshan pushed the two items in front of Chu Lingjun. “I was planning to give you the Astral Helmet. After all, you contributed greatly to defending the city the last time. You weren’t at a higher cultivation level at that time. I was afraid that you would be beaten up. After thinking about it, I decided to give it to you. Now that you’ve actually broken through to Rank ft,vo Late Stage, I can give you this spirit weapon with confidence.”
“Thank you, sir!” Chu Lingjun was ecstatic.
Including the Astral Helmet, he currently had a total of four spiritual weapons — the Iron-backed Tiger, the Kui Drum, the Thunder Beast Mallet, and the Astral Helmet.
His strength had increased too quickly, so the Iron-backed Tiger was no use to him now.
The Kui Drum and the Thunder Beast Mallet were in the same situation. If he
was not careful, he would reach the Rank Two Stage Stage.
When he breaks through to the Third Rank, the Kui Drum and Thunder Beast Mallet would no longer be of use.
This was the trouble of increasing one’s cultivation too quickly!
Principal Zhong Tongshan smiled, he knew what Chu Lingjun was thinking.
“There are descendants of Kui and Thunder Beasts living in the Iron Peak
Mountain . If you can kill Rank Three, you can bring them back to Cui Lao and upgrade your weapons.”
“Thank you, Principal!” Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up.
Cui Lao was the refining teacher of Quicksand High School.
Chu Lingjun opened the folder next to him and saw a thick stack of information inside. It was information on the top students in the Baiyue Province. There were a lot of files and a USB drive.
“If you want to take the college entrance examination and compete with the geniuses of other schools, you have to know yourself and your enemy. Only then can you win every battle.” Zhong Tongshan smiled and said, “I don’t have much information about other top students. The information may be a little old, but it is a good place to start.”
“Thank you, sir!”
Chu Lingjun was overjoyed. Information was what he needed the most at this moment!
He was already the strongest student in Quicksand High School. There was no one in the county who could match him. With this information, he could understand the standards of others.
“Oh right, there’s something else I want to ask you.” Zhong Tongshan thought of something and asked casually.
“What is it?”
“Do you know a warrior named Meng Shangchun?”
“I don’t.”
“Do you know a dark esper called the Bloody Butcher?”
“I don’t.”
“Alright, then it’s fine.”
Chu Lingjun was confused.
After Chu Lingjun left, Zhong Tongshan took out an array board and a machine box from under the table.
The array board was only ten centimeters in diameter. There were a lot of complicated and magnificent spiritual patterns carved on it, making the board look like a precious piece of art.
The formation plate emitted a green light and flickered.
The machine box next to him also displayed a green light.
At this moment, a man in a camouflage uniform walked out from the room next to him. He glanced at the board. “The lie detector turned green. He isn’t lying.”
It seems like he really has nothing to do with the Bloody Butcher.” Zhong Tongshan nodded.
“This is also in line with the Bloody Butcher’s style. Chu Lingjun helped his nephew, so he killed those that were hunting him.”
The man in the camouflage uniform shook his head. He felt ridiculous and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “This matter is very big. I heard that the Cthulhuist branch in Baiyue Province has sent people over. They said they were going to eliminate everyone..”
