Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 24 Filling out the application form

The frequent and intense sparring has taken a toll on Zhao Rui's mental health.

After sparring with his coach in the afternoon and accumulating 50% of the experience points for the Chaotic Cloak Sword Technique, Zhao Rui received a call from Bai Xuening as soon as he left the martial arts school building.

The girl asked him how his grades were projected and which school he planned to apply to.

She only remembered to ask this several days after the exam; she seems a bit slow to react.

Zhao Rui mentioned that he wanted to apply to Dongqi University, but his score was a bit high, and he estimated that his score would be around the cutoff line of previous years.

It's a bit risky.

"Oh, the questions were difficult this year, so your estimated score will probably be lower. I believe in you!"

"Where are you?"

"I applied to Sichuan University because it's close to Mount Emei."

"Oh!"

Zhao Rui responded, understanding in his heart. After all, he was an entry-level disciple of Mount Emei, so he probably had internal quotas at Sichuan University as well.

"What have you been doing at home these past few days?"

After asking about the important matter, Bai Xuening's voice softened, and she asked in a gentle whisper.

"Just having fun. I don't have anything serious to do. I also signed up for a sparring job these past couple of days to earn some extra money."

Zhao Rui said casually.

"A sparring partner? Won't that interfere with your training? Do you need money? I... I can lend you some."

The young girl hesitated for a long time, seemingly afraid that talking about money would make Zhao Rui lose face.

"I don't lack money, I just want to gain more practical experience."

Zhao Rui casually replied, "As for whether we lack money or not, do you even need to guess? Of course we do. In any era, money is always the hard currency. Wealth, companions, laws, and land are all important."

"Oh, then you need to manage your time well and not neglect your martial arts training."

"I know, you're being so fussy! That's not like you at all."

A smile appeared on Zhao Rui's lips.

"Ungrateful wretch, huh. Bye."

Bai Xuening pouted, seemingly with a hint of petulance, and hung up the phone.

"Hey? You were the one who called me!"

Zhao Rui looked at his phone, which had returned to the home screen, and shrugged.

Summer vacation is a long and relaxing time, with no summer homework and no parental urging.

Only at this time can students truly enjoy a completely relaxing holiday.

Because of the "Fire Cloud Evil God" incident, Zhao Rui's desire to act recklessly has become much more restrained.

He spent two weeks holed up in the martial arts gym as a sparring partner.

Until this day, the college entrance examination results were released.

"Son, what was your score?"

Zhao Jincheng and his wife, who were anxiously waiting outside Zhao Rui's bedroom door, hurriedly asked him questions as soon as Zhao Rui came out after checking his grades.

"623 points, 16 points above the key university admission line."

"How many?"

Zhao Jincheng and his wife were incredulous, never expecting their son to score so high.

This is several tens of points higher than my original college entrance exam score.

"I got full marks in both the theory and practice sections of my martial arts major course this time... and I did well in math too."

Zhao Rui smiled and explained his score. After all, he had the mindset of an adult and the memory of a teenager, giving him a natural advantage.

Moreover, the system panel helps improve martial arts levels.

"That's great, that's great! I'll tell your grandpa and the others right away..."

Zhao Jincheng was overjoyed and quickly turned around to grab his phone to call his relatives and friends.

Xue Wenhui was no exception; the phone never stopped ringing.

As Zhao Rui watched his parents excitedly sharing the good news with their relatives, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

With the results out, it's time to fill out college applications.

A few days later, it was time to fill out college applications. Zhao Rui got up early and rode his bicycle to the school.

It was summer vacation, and there were no students in class on campus.

Those leisurely walking into the school gate from the roadside are all graduating high school seniors who came to fill out their college application forms.

"Zhao Rui, what did you do on the test?" Just before entering the school gate, Zhao Rui ran into several classmates, and the group rode their bikes into the campus together.

"623!"

"Zhao Rui, you scored so high, that's amazing!"

"Exactly! With your grades, you'd barely qualify for Dongqi University!"

Several classmates were surprised that Zhao Rui, whose grades usually hovered around the undergraduate admission line, actually did so well this time.

"I was lucky, I guessed right on everything!"

Zhao Rui smiled.

"That's also a form of strength!"

"Exactly! I didn't guess correctly on several questions! It's such a pity, otherwise I would have gotten ten more points!"

The group chatted idly and soon arrived at the teaching building. After locking their bikes, they walked together towards the classroom.

Having not seen each other for so long, we naturally had endless things to talk about as soon as we met.

"Look, it's Luo Min. I heard that Zhejiang University originally offered her exemption from the exam, but she insisted on taking it herself. I wonder how she did."

"She usually gets such good grades, she definitely won't do badly on the test."

As soon as they stepped onto the third-floor stairs, they saw a beautiful and graceful girl strolling around the corner.

It was Luo Min, a well-known top student and the class's most attractive student.

"Hello everyone!"

A moment later, the group passed each other by. Luo Min smiled and waved to them, her smile warm and peaceful.

Before anyone knew she would greet them, everyone's hearts raced as they forced out what they thought were their most beautiful smiles.

After the girl left, everyone sighed and lamented, "We won't be able to see my Minmin classmate anymore!"

"What do you mean 'your Minmin'? It's 'our Minmin'."

"I have OCD!"

"..."

"Disgusting, shameless!"

Amidst a mischievous grin, Zhao Rui followed the group into the classroom.

"Old Zhao, you're so late!"

As soon as he entered the classroom, Yang Fan waved to him.

Zhao Rui walked over and had just sat down when Yang Fan said mysteriously, "I heard Wang Han didn't do well on the exam, only scoring 596 points."

"So little? That's much less than he usually does."

"It's all because he always acts so arrogant. If he's so good at seducing teachers, he's just as good at getting into university."

Yang Fan said with a hint of schadenfreude, "This Wang Han was one of only two level-four martial artists in the class before. Of course, later, with Zhao Rui added, there were three."

"What do you care about him!"

Zhao Rui smiled.

"I just don't like him!"

Yang Fan hummed twice, about to say something more, when Sun Tiantian in the front row turned her head to look at Zhao Rui and asked softly, "Which school are you applying to?"

"I'm applying to Dongqi University!"

"Dongqi?" Sun Tiantian was taken aback, then gave a dejected "oh" and said, "You really want to go to the same school as Luo Min!"

"Luo Min? I don't know which school she applied to."

"But your score is very uncertain; you're not entirely confident about getting into this school!"

Sun Tiantian said with a displeased look.

"I'll accept the reassignment!"

Zhao Rui smiled and didn't say much. The reason he wanted to apply to Dongqi University was actually just one thing.

Within the province, only a handful of universities, such as Dongqi University, have their own professional undergraduate martial arts training teams.

Moreover, they are the kind of high-level competitions that can participate in provincial league competitions.

Other universities also have them, but their level is not high enough; they can only compete in provincial sports meets or martial arts competitions.

"Hmph, those are all excuses."

Sun Tiantian turned away unhappily, ignoring Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui shrugged, looking helpless, and asked Yang Fan, "Luo Min applied to Dongqi University?"
