My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 15 Shadow Clan

Chapter 15 Shadow Clan
[Physical Constitution: Ordinary (Grade B)]

[Gift: New Life]

Jiang Ye looked at the top of Zhao Qingli's head and thought to himself, "She has the same Class B physique as me and is also a second-year high school student, but her total score in the four categories has already reached 700 points."

Just because someone scores 700 points now doesn't mean they'll get that score on the college entrance exam.

There is still a whole year until the college entrance examination.

Next year, Zhao Qingli's score will only far exceed this score.

"The gap between me now and these newly gifted geniuses is still huge."

Jiang Ye sighed, but his mindset remained calm.

There's plenty of time; he'll catch up someday!

Of course, he was also well aware that even surpassing the innate talent of a newborn was only the beginning.

In this era, geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

As the academic teacher said.

Talent is divided into four levels: Primal, Newborn, Daoist, and Extraordinary.

Those with exceptional talent among the new students can break through to the next level in their senior year of high school and become Starry Sky Martial Artists.

As for Daoist innate talent, becoming a Starry Sky Martial Artist in the senior year of high school is just the foundation, and breaking through to the second breakthrough before the college entrance examination is not difficult.

Even so, he cannot be considered a true genius.

What is a true genius?
He began cultivating at the age of ten, broke through to the next level at twelve, broke through to the next level at fifteen, and by the time he reached adulthood at eighteen, he had already broken through to the next level!
This is extraordinary talent!
They are also the true chosen ones of this world.

Most people can only begin cultivating at the age of fifteen, but this person is born with extraordinary abilities and begins cultivating five years in advance, which is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

However, even such a genius is not the strongest. It is said that there are even stronger talents above him, but that level is too far from Ancheng's reach.

The path of martial arts has no limits.

The prodigies shine like stars!

"Perhaps one day, I will be able to reach that level."

Having lived two lives, Jiang Ye's passion remains undiminished, and he still yearns for something more.

At this moment, the students of Class 9 had already entered the spherical building.

Before them stretched a vast metal hall.

In the center of the hall, there are rows of metal chairs, each with a silver-white metal helmet on it.

At the front of the hall, a huge screen displayed the rankings of the entire grade.

[First Place: Zhao Qingli: 710 points]

Second place: Lin Miaomiao: 652 points

Third Place: Wang Ziang

The top 100 students were almost all from the honors classes.

Occasionally a few students from regular classes would make it in, but they would usually be ranked last.

"Strange, the top class has many students with lower-grade physiques, but the first place is Zhao Qingli with a grade B physique?"

Jiang Ye glanced at the students in the top classes around him and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Logically, a Grade A physique is far superior to a Grade B physique.

But as far as he knew, Zhao Qingli's name had consistently ranked first in the grade since the beginning of high school.

"Is it due to innate talent? Or other factors?" Jiang Ye pondered.

While he was pondering, it was already the turn of Class Nine to begin their assessment.

"Let's start taking numbers!"

Zhang Jianwu stood in front of Class 9 and spoke loudly.

Everyone immediately became expectant.

This wasn't their first time here; they would occasionally visit during class.

The virtual starry sky practical assessment is conducted in groups of five.

The assessment involves forming a team of five, entering a virtual world, and fighting against the 'Shadow Clan'.

The score for this assessment is determined by the number of 'Shadow Clan' members killed and the team's casualties.

Teams aren't formed randomly; the school system assigns teams by number to ensure that each team's strength is roughly equal.

Of course, the numbering is done by class.

Therefore, students in the top classes will definitely score high in this assessment, since their average quality is very high.

"Jiang Ye, Xia Qing, Tao Xiaogang, He Hua, Li Xuan."

Jiang Ye was somewhat surprised when he heard that he was in his group.

Xia Qing, the girl who often brought him water.

As for the other three, they were all students in the middle or lower ranks, and he wasn't very close to them.

However, at this moment, the three of them quickly surrounded Jiang Ye.

"Brother Jiang, please let me cling to your coattails!"

"Yeah, Brother Jiang, you're the strongest among us. We're counting on you to carry us from now on."

Jiang Ye smiled slightly and said, "This is teamwork; everyone is important. Let's work together." "Okay, let's work together."

The group said in unison, and Jiang Ye, who ranked second in the class, naturally obeyed their orders.

Jiang Ye glanced at Xia Qing, who was secretly watching him, and suddenly said, "Xia Qing, be careful later, don't get killed by the monster."

"Huh?" Xia Qing was taken aback for a moment, then her face flushed slightly, and she quickly nodded and said, "I will be careful."

Seeing this, Tao Xiaogang immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, Xia Qing is the only girl in our team, we will definitely protect her!"

Jiang Ye nodded without saying anything more.

Of course he had to protect Xia Qing, because having a girl in the team would give him a 35% attack speed bonus, and there was even a chance to trigger a 50% damage bonus!

"I wonder if I can use this ability to break into first place."

Jiang Ye glanced silently at Li Zhichao in the distance.

The first-place winner receives a 30,000 yuan scholarship for impoverished students, which he is very envious of.

Team assignments are complete.

Li Zhichao remained calm, still confident and assured of his first-place position.

On the other side, Xu Sisi clenched her fists, a determined look flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

"I have an advantage in speed in this assessment. Whether I can reclaim second place depends on this one," Xu Sisi thought to herself.

At this moment, Zhang Jianwu said, "Each group, please take your seats in order and begin the virtual starry sky assessment!"

Everyone took action.

Jiang Ye walked to his seat and put on the silver-white virtual reality headset.

The virtual reality headset, also known as a "brain neural connector," can communicate with brainwaves via neutrinos, instantly putting a person into a state of deep sleep.

The moment I put on the helmet.

Jiang Ye's consciousness sank.

The next moment, he had arrived in a corner of a virtual city.

Along with Jiang Ye were Xia Qing, Tao Xiaogang, and two others.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The streetlights cast a dim yellow light.

"So realistic."

Jiang Ye looked around at the surroundings and couldn't help but sigh, even though it wasn't his first time here.

Virtual starry skies can be replicated in a one-to-one ratio with reality, and even the sensation of pain can be completely reproduced.

In other words, getting injured here will immediately affect your combat ability.

"call!"

Just then, in front of them, in a shadowy spot.

A pitch-black figure, as if liquid, slowly solidified from the shadows.

As the phantom solidified, a chilling, bone-deep wind suddenly blew up.

"Shadow Clan - Infant Form!"

Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

The other four all tensed up.

The Shadow Clan is extremely powerful.

An infant's body is already 1.5 to 2 meters tall, while a juvenile's body can reach more than 3 meters.

When encountering a child form, only martial artists of the first level or higher can deal with it.

The infant body in front of them was only 1.5 meters tall, the weakest of all infant bodies, but it still required five people working together to deal with it.

"hiss!"

The dark, shadowy figure let out a roar and lunged at them.

But just as Jiang Ye and the others were giving it their all, the phantom suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.

Tao Xiaogang and the others were stunned for a moment.

Jiang Ye shouted, "Watch your back!"

The Shadow Clan enjoys possessing shadows.

Jiang Ye recalled that Chen Zilu had repeatedly emphasized that during battle, one must always pay attention to the position of the shadow.

Make sure your shadow stays within your field of vision!

As soon as the battle began, Jiang Ye noticed his own shadow behind him.

He suddenly turned around.

A gaping, blood-red maw came rushing towards them.

Without saying a word, Jiang Ye immediately threw a punch.
