Ji Ming continued reading.

Second Place: Song Zhirou

Health Strength: 11.2

Realm: Jade Uncarved Level 1

Score: 897 = 97 (Cultivation) + 500 (Mastery) + 300 (Practical Combat)

Third place: Chen Jun

Health Strength: 11.1

Realm: Jade Uncarved Level 1

Score: 864 = 94 (Cultivation) + 500 (Mastery) + 270 (Practical Combat)

These are the top three in the martial arts class. The second-ranked student is Song Zhirou, the school's goddess. However, the gap between her and the third-ranked student is not large, and she is far from having the composure of Gu Yi, who suppressed Bai Chuan and strolled leisurely.

These two are still a little short of the Holy Land score line, but there's still plenty of time. Ji Ming estimates that they should have a high chance of making it, and he guesses that all three of them have extraordinary talent.

Because the fourth-place team is far too far behind them; they're not even in the same league.

Fourth Place: Gu Yao

Health Strength: 10.0

Realm: Mortal Body Level 10

Score: 485 = 95 (Cultivation) + 300 (Mastery) + 90 (Practical Combat)

Fifth Place: Wang Xiaodong

Health Strength: 10.0

Realm: Mortal Body Level 10

Score: 480 = 90 (Cultivation) + 300 (Mastery) + 90 (Practical Combat)

The reason for such a large score difference is not only the realm but also the actual combat. 90 points is just the score to defeat five puppets of the same realm. To go higher, you need to fight a puppet equivalent to the Jade Purity Realm. The difference between the major realms is like an insurmountable chasm. There may not be any mortals with such combat power in the entire East Sea Province!

However, if they can break through to the Jade Purity Realm, it will be a completely different world. Although challenging a higher level within the Jade Purity Realm is more difficult than challenging a lower level within the Mortal Realm, it is ten times simpler than challenging a higher level.

After breaking through to the Jade Purity Realm, these students who are stuck at the tenth level of the Mortal Realm will experience a surge in their scores. Although the chances of getting into a Holy Land are slim, getting into a good university will not be a problem.

It's important to know that there are differences between different universities!

480 points is the limit that most mortals at the tenth level can achieve. The academy's cutoff score is only 450, which shows that the academy leaves some room for admission and does not require students to break through to the Jade Purity Realm before enrollment. Some students with slow cultivation speed but strong combat ability also have a chance.

But this is only the requirement for ordinary universities.

The minimum score for the academy is 450, while the minimum score for the holy land is 1000. Such a large difference is enough to show that there are different levels among the academies.

In addition, some special talents also greatly enhance actual combat. Obviously, although there is no so-called talent score, actual combat is the implicit bonus mechanism for them. Those with higher talent levels are more likely to be admitted to top-ranked universities.

Gu Yi set the threshold too high. Song Zhirou and Chen Jun were okay, but their scores started to plummet later on. But that's okay; the emergence of geniuses always requires luck.

However, the number of students scoring above 450 is the best indicator of their average level. These are the promising talents of the academy. The martial arts class only has 11 students, while the mage class has a total of 21 students. It is clear that the saying that Shirakawa City is a martial arts desert is not unfounded!

This shows that the college entrance examination pass rate is very low, and it is extremely difficult to get into even the lowest-level universities.

Of course, Shirakawa City is just an insignificant small city in the Tokai Province. There are dozens of cities like this in the province, and it is good if fifty people are admitted to academies every year. This is far from the top ten cities, which often have hundreds of people admitted, and even have geniuses who can enter the four major star palaces every year!

"This data is from last month. I wonder if anyone has broken through to the Jade Purity Realm recently."

Ji Ming murmured to himself, "This one step is a difference of two hundred points, which is why everyone says that only those in the Jade Purity Realm have a chance to compete for a spot in the Holy Land."

"Probably not."

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the right.

"Huh? Wang Yunhui?" Xu Wei's surprised voice rang out as Ji Ming turned his head.

Sure enough, a strikingly mature face appeared out of nowhere.

"I'm sorry about what happened last time!" After not seeing him for a few days, Wang Yunhui had recovered from the shadow of his failed breakthrough and looked at Ji Ming apologetically.

"Well?"

Ji Ming was taken aback, then remembered what it was about. He chuckled and shook his head, "It's alright!"

It's a small matter; he wouldn't take it to heart.

"Hey, you can apologize?" Xu Wei asked in surprise.

Wang Yunhui smiled. "Am I the kind of person who's unreasonable?"

Ji Ming smiled and nodded. That's just how reality is. There's no need for so much mockery and showing off. Without a conflict of interest, classmates are mostly harmonious. After all, you might run into each other on the battlefield someday.

"You just said that no one broke through to the Jade Purity Realm this time?" Ji Ming asked again, recalling this matter.

"Um!"

Wang Yunhui nodded. "As far as I know, it's not just me. All the people who have reached the tenth level of the Mortal Realm have recently tried, but unfortunately, they've all failed. They're still a long way from their next breakthrough, and I'm afraid they only have one chance before the college entrance exam!"

Ji Ming understood; so that's how it is.

"Is the Jade Purity Realm really that difficult? Not a single one has succeeded?" Xu Wei interjected from the side. Including Wang Yunhui, there are a total of six mortals at the tenth level of the mortal realm in the martial arts class!

Moreover, these families are not simple, so they didn't bring out any rare and precious materials to help them.

Ji Ming looked at Wang Yunhui, who was also quite curious about this.

The latter smiled and shook his head, "The Jade Purity Realm is certainly difficult; you'll see later. As for family assistance, well... anyone with a bit of ambition will generally not rely on external aids for their first breakthrough."

"Why?" Ji Ming asked, frowning.

Wang Yunhui said seriously, "Because it's a symbol of potential!"

"It's not that using external aids will reduce potential, but rather that the potential for development will be higher without them. If you want to enter the Holy Land, it's best to break through on your own!"

At this point, he sighed, "But I'm sure everyone has come to terms with reality; we'll definitely have to go all out for the second breakthrough."

Ji Ming understood that it wouldn't hurt to try it the first time; what if it worked? But he definitely wouldn't dare to mess around the second time, because the college entrance exam was approaching and there wasn't much time left. Moreover, failing again this time would really affect his foundation!

Wang Yunhui looked up at the list and said, "Leaving aside Gu Yi, it seems that only Song Zhirou and Chen Jun from Baichuan City have a chance to enter the Holy Land this year."

"Ugh!"

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking. In fact, there was something even more cruel that he didn't say: even with family support and the purchase of rare and precious materials, a breakthrough was not guaranteed.

Most people like them have to try three or four times, and if they are lucky, they can break through before the college entrance examination and enter a well-ranked university.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and squandered too much of his potential in the Mortal Realm. In the end, he stumbled and fell into the Jade Purity Realm. He would probably spend his whole life cultivating with difficulty, just like most of his elders, without ever having the chance to break through to the Divine Realm.

He looked at the first three names. These were the real geniuses. In previous years, it was considered good if there was even one student at the Jade Purity Realm. This year, it was quite strange that three people had successfully broken through so early.

"Amin, it's time to start the test."

Xu Wei reminded them, and looking around, Liu Shuo and Luo Zhao had indeed arrived in front of the martial arts class.

"The scores for the academic subjects were released yesterday, and I'm sure everyone knows them. Today, we'll start with the life strength test, followed by the practical combat test," Liu Shuo said loudly after nodding to Luo Zhao.

Seeing that the students understood, Liu Shuo nodded. At this moment, the Mage Class and the Immortal Class also gathered around.

"Old Liu, long time no see!" The teacher in charge of the Dharma Master class was an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman.

"Sister Chen, Lao Liu has gotten such a great deal this time, he must be feeling really good about it," the Immortal Path Class teacher said with a smile.

"Old Wang, who's benefiting? Are you questioning Mayor Fang's decision?" Liu Shuo rolled up his sleeves and retorted.

Luo Zhao stood there with a faint smile, without saying a word.

"I wouldn't dare."

Teacher Wang shrank back and snorted, "Don't you understand what's going on with the martial arts class? Why take up so many spots? It would be a huge joke if these twenty people couldn't even get into a good university!"

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Liu Shuo's face darkened. "What's wrong with my martial arts class? If you're so capable, let your men fight Gu Yi!"

"snort!"

Teacher Wang snorted coldly but didn't reply. Once you reach the second tier, the restraining relationship between other professions and martial artists is greatly reduced, not to mention a genius like Gu Yi. He probably doesn't have enough people to fight him.

"Alright, how old are you? Stop arguing!" Teacher Liu from the Dharma Master class frowned and scolded angrily.

"Haha, looks like everyone's got great energy!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and an old man with white hair and a white beard descended from the sky, smiling at everyone.
