In the game "High Martial Arts," players start with the blessing of the Martial God.

"Alright, alright, let's go over there first and start the practical test right away!"

Liu Shuo coughed twice, breaking the awkward atmosphere; he felt a little out of place.

Ji Ming nodded, bowed, and returned to the queue.

Xu Wei was looking at him with a strange expression, his tone full of resentment, "Ah Ming, have you been acting against me the whole time?"

"Cough, where?" Ji Ming turned his head away, unable to bear looking at him.

"To be honest, are you stronger than me?" Xu Wei asked again. He knew that Ji Ming had cultivated the Star King Body to a high level, which was probably much stronger than the martial arts he possessed.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit!" Ji Ming laughed.

Xu Wei rolled his eyes. "Just a little bit more? I don't believe you for a second."

Wang Yunhui regained his composure. He was at the tenth level of the mortal realm; how could he possibly be surpassed?

No...maybe?

Hmm, impossible!

Wang Yunhui cheered himself up, looked up and revealed a confident smile, "I'm ninth place!"

Chen Jun, sitting calmly with his arms crossed, kept his eyes straight ahead.

Third place: Chen Jun

Health Strength: 11.3

Realm: Jade Uncarved Level 1

Score: 885 = 95 (Cultivation) + 500 (Mastery) + 290 (Practical Combat)

While the later groups were undergoing life strength tests, those who had come before them had already completed their tests on the fighting arena. Although their cultivation level had not changed, their combat score was 20 points higher than last month!

Chen Jun looked at the pressured expressions on his classmates' faces with disdain. What? Could they possibly surpass him?

His only opponents are those two in front of him!

Second Place: Song Zhirou

Health Strength: 11.5

Realm: Jade Uncarved Level 1

Score: 906 = 96 (Cultivation) + 500 (Mastery) + 310 (Practical Combat)

This damned woman is a real obstacle on my path of cultivation!

Chen Jun clenched his fist; she had actually scored over 900 points!

He stared intently at the name standing above his head, thinking, "Just wait, I'll bring you down sooner or later!"

As for the ancient Yi at the very top?

He selectively pretends not to see it!

Compared to these two, Ji Ming is just a minor character.

"Boss, congratulations!"

A chorus of praise came from his underlings: "Compared to last month, the gap between you and Song Zhirou has narrowed by a full 12 points! Taking the second spot is just around the corner!"

"Hmm?" Chen Jun's face suddenly darkened.

"Pfft!"

The group wasn't far apart, and Gu Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Rou Rou, this is hilarious!"

The young man was taken aback. What's wrong?

Chen Jun took a deep breath, wishing he could strangle the thing. Is this how scores are compared? At their level, without breaking through their cultivation realm, every point of progress becomes increasingly difficult.

Moreover, his life strength this time surpassed that of Song Zhirou last month, but his actual combat score was not as good as hers.

Although he was confident enough to surpass this woman in the future, he could only think about it in his heart. If he said it out loud, where would he put his face?

"Alright, Yao Yao!" Song Zhirou patted Gu Yao's arm and shook her head helplessly.

The underling suddenly realized that he had flattered Chen Jun in the wrong way, and his face turned pale with fright when he saw Chen Jun's fiery eyes.

In a moment of desperation, he glanced at the list as if remembering something and began to forcefully change the subject.

"Calm down, boss. Look at Ji Ming, he's ridiculous. He doesn't care about the consequences for a moment of pleasure. I don't think he's even worth a hair on your head. It's a shame you used to pay attention to him!"

Before he finished speaking, his voice gradually lowered, and Chen Jun's expression not only did not improve, but became even more unpleasant.

"What kind of trash are you? Ji Ming has already entered the Star King Body realm, he's definitely stronger than you. What right do you, a weakling, have to swagger around behind my back?"

The younger brother's brain went blank for a moment. The script wasn't right. Didn't you hate Ji Ming?

"Boss... I was wrong!"

"Get lost, and don't follow me anymore!" Chen Jun waved his hand, tilted his head back with an arrogant expression, and shooed him away like a fly.

"I'm sorry, boss, I..."

"roll!"

……

"Next group, step into the ring!"

Liu Shuo held up a roster and read aloud.

"Amin, I'm leaving!" Xu Wei said, trying to perk himself up.

Ji Ming encouraged him, "Keep it up!"

Twenty arenas are set up in the center of the square, and the second round is currently underway.

On each arena, there was a black puppet, some holding a knife, some a stick, and some a sword, all with the same weapon as the person being tested.

The assessment proceeded quickly, since most people couldn't pass the second stage, which involved fighting three puppets of the same level simultaneously.

However, since No. 1 Middle School is the top vocational school in Shirakawa City, everyone there has the basic skills to defeat a puppet.

Ji Ming's eyes flickered as he watched his classmates fight desperately against the puppets. No wonder the assessment wasn't conducted in the virtual world. Although the real arena was troublesome, it was quite beneficial for cultivating the fighting spirit of professionals.

The virtual world is great, but it lacks realism. If you rush into real combat without training in these areas, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable and be lucky to perform at 70-80% of your potential.

As far as he knew, when it came to the college entrance examination, he would be facing a real alien race!

Soon, Xu Wei finished his assessment and stepped off the stage. Ji Ming greeted him with a smile, "Congratulations!"

Xu Wei's results and rankings have been released.

18th Place: Xu Wei

Health Strength: 9.0

Realm: Nine Levels of Mortal Body

Score: 437 = 87 (Cultivation) + 270 (Mastery) + 80 (Practical Combat)

That's a very good result. This kid has performed exceptionally well thanks to the [Gluttonous Feast]. He still has more than three months to break through to the tenth level of the Mortal Realm. If he continues like this, entering a university by the time of the college entrance examination will be a sure thing.

Throughout the journey, Ji Ming observed that, apart from the battle between the three Jade Purity Realm cultivators which was not very clear, the martial arts skills of the other students were basically around level 7-8.

He has not even mastered a single second- or first-tier martial skill!

Martial arts skills are not comparable to the improvement of realm. There are very few effective natural treasures and medicines. Perhaps they exist, but Ji Ming has never seen them. Therefore, martial arts skills are extremely difficult to cultivate.

Moreover, unlike Ji Ming, these people didn't see immediate results from their training; their progress remained stagnant, and over time, their motivation naturally waned.

Of course, the most difficult one is the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong. You can tell from Luo Zhao's reaction that even the second-level Star King Body didn't make the other party lose his composure like that!

"It's my turn."

Not long after, Ji Ming let out a breath. Next, it was time to verify the results of his cultivation.

Real combat is where he truly shines!

A cultural score of 90 plus a realm score of 240 is far from enough.

The former performed exceptionally well this time, while the latter, although making great progress, is still far behind the top students. Only real competition can turn the tide.

"Has it been a long time since I've given it my all?" Ji Ming thought to himself.

He used to get no reward for not making it to the front, so he wasn't motivated. This time...

Ji Ming looked at the glittering resources on the big screen, determined to get them!

"Next group!"

As Liu Shuo finished speaking, almost everyone looked at Ji Ming, some with nervousness, some with disdain, some with excitement, and some with anticipation.

Ji Ming remained calm, nodded to his teacher, and then stepped onto the stage.
