Full Awakening: One F is trash, three me

Yang Han's interview quickly spread.

No one said anything about the student's confidence, after all, his grades speak for themselves.

One student commented, "Yang Han is actually quite modest. If I had his achievements, I would be much more arrogant than him."

Having finally managed to escape from the crowd, Zhang Qi and Liu Hong intercepted Yang Han.

Liu Hong was so excited that his beard was shaking. He patted Yang Han on the shoulder and said, "You've really brought honor to the Northwest Base City."

Zhang Qi smiled broadly: "The liberal arts scores haven't been released yet, let's find a place to sit down."

Yang Han was originally planning to go home, as he knew his humanities grades, but he still had to listen to what his two older brothers said.

"it is good."

The three of them found a coffee shop nearby.

The coffee was bitter, and Yang Han wasn't used to it, so he just sat quietly.

Zhang Qi looked at him and spoke first: "Xiao Han, are you confident about the humanities?"

"It should be fine."

"It doesn't matter, don't feel pressured." Zhang Qi waved his hand. "With your grades, even if you fail the liberal arts exam, you can still participate in Zhenxing Martial Arts University's additional exam this year."

"An additional test?"

Yang Han was somewhat puzzled.

The admission method of Zhenxing Martial Arts University has always been to admit students from top to bottom based on their scores, with about nine hundred students admitted each year. The remaining hundred or so places are reserved for students from the other major holy cities. I have never heard of any additional examinations.

Liu Hong interjected, "In previous years, Zhenxing Martial Arts University's admission method has been questioned because it only looks at data rankings and not actual combat. This approach won't last long."

"Doesn't the martial arts exam include a practical combat assessment?"

Liu Hong shook his head.

"What kind of real combat is that? It might be enough for a regular martial arts exam, but that's Zhenxing Martial Arts University. How long can someone who gets in by defeating a few virtual ferocious beasts survive on a real battlefield?"

He paused, lowering his voice slightly.

"Three months ago, a junior team from Zhenxing Martial Arts University was ambushed by the demon race outside the A-level buffer gate. All thirty members perished."

Yang Han gritted his teeth.

His mother died at the hands of these beasts.

"Don't the students get protected by powerful figures from the school when they're out there gaining experience?"

"have."

Liu Hong nodded, then shook his head.

"The school's powerful figures are behind us, but they can't make a move."

An inexplicable fire surged in Yang Han's chest.

The squad was completely wiped out by the demon race, and the school's experts just stood behind, watching helplessly?

"Do you know what an A-level buffer door means?" Liu Hong asked.

Yang Han shook his head.

When he left the base city, he passed through a Class C buffer gate, which he initially thought was just an ordinary marker.

"The Holy City of Zhenxing stretches for thousands of miles, with eight major base cities guarding the surrounding areas. There are three buffer zones outside the city. Beyond the C-level buffer gate lies the territory of the Meridian Opening Realm, beyond the B-level is the Meridian Harmonizing Realm, and beyond the A-level is the Flying Realm. This territory was carved out by the Holy King of Zhenxing and countless powerful individuals through bloodshed. A peace treaty was signed with the demon race, and within the three buffer zones, no one is allowed to make a move beyond the corresponding realm."

Yang Han understood.

"So, that squad was completely wiped out by demons of the same cultivation level in the A-level buffer zone?"

"That's right," Liu Hong said regretfully. "Once the school's powerful figures take action, it's tantamount to breaking the agreement. At that time, the peerless experts of the demon race will besiege Zhenxing Holy City. That will be the real catastrophe."

Just how strong are the demon race?

Yang Han had been holding onto this problem for a long time.

"I don't know." Liu Hong shook his head. "Blue Star is too big. Zhenxing Holy City stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and the other six holy cities are about the same size, but apart from that, all the territory is the territory of the demon race. On this vast territory, I don't know how many powerful beings have been raised."

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the table.

"Ahem." Zhang Qi coughed lightly.

"Why think so far ahead? Let's talk about the additional exam."

Liu Hong picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"It was because of that accident that Zhenxing Martial Arts University decided to add a practical assessment before admission, which is expected to be announced first thing tomorrow morning."

"Brother Liu, do you know the specifics of the exam?"

"Knowing it isn't exactly a secret."

Liu Hong put down his cup and slowly said, "This year's candidates, including those from the eight major base cities and the Holy City, total about 1.5 million. The top 10,000 will be divided into ten groups of 1,000 each, and will be placed in the assessment area outside the C-level buffer gate. They will earn points for killing ferocious beasts and eliminating opponents. The top 100 in each group will be admitted."

Release it directly into the wild.

The difficulty level is more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the martial arts exam.

"In that case, if they encounter familiar test-takers in the wild, wouldn't it be unfair to team up?"

"The authorities have taken this into consideration; during the allocation process, they will try to disperse candidates from different regions to reduce the chances of them clustering together."

Yang Han frowned slightly.

"Reduce group formation? Does that mean that even if candidates who are not familiar with each other reach an agreement, they can still form a group?"

"That's right." Liu Hong's words also carried a hint of surprise. "This time, the school is really determined. During the assessment process, teamwork, ambushes, and scheming are allowed. As long as the authorities haven't explicitly banned any methods, they can all be used."

Yang Han didn't say anything more, but just played with the coffee cup in his hand, his mind working very fast.

A group of a thousand people, allowed to form alliances, set ambushes, and use schemes, can be said to be unscrupulous.

Under these rules, a lone genius may not survive to the end, but someone who knows how to leverage their strengths may be able to overtake others by taking a shortcut.

The three chatted for a while longer, and seeing that Yang Han was calm and fearless, Zhang Qi and Liu Hong were relieved.

In the afternoon, the liberal arts results were successfully released.

Yang Han scored 100 in liberal arts and 1000 in total.

In no time, the name of Yang Han, the champion of the 196th World Martial Arts Examination of the Zhenxing Human Race, spread far and wide.

Especially in the holy city, the surrounding area was shaken.

Since the establishment of the martial arts examination 196 years ago, every champion has come from the Holy City without exception.

This time, it broke.

It comes from a base city in the northwest, an ordinary high school that is not even considered the best in the area.

……

Zhenxing Wuda's office.

Several teachers came and went. The name of the top scorer had just been decided when the martial arts exam system automatically recorded it, leaving no room for human intervention.

An elderly bald man stood before the virtual screen, gently rubbing his head, and whispered, "Yang Han... with his dual F talent, can he really have reached this level?"

He stared at the name for a moment, then smiled.

who cares.

If he's truly talented, there will naturally be opportunities to meet him in the future, and then nothing will escape his notice. If he's just mediocre, even the title of top scholar won't prevent him from being eliminated in the selection process.

"Old Zhou."

A slightly tired-looking teacher stepped forward.

"headmaster."

The bald old man glanced at him and frowned.

"Several students died, and this is the state of things."

The old man spoke calmly, but an imposing aura emanated from him, making it difficult to breathe.

"Of the billions of human beings, how many have died on the battlefield every single day? In your current state, what can you possibly do?"

"I'm sorry, Principal..." the man bowed, his face unable to hide his frustration.

The bald old man looked at him for a long time, and finally sighed. They were all children he had taught, so he did not scold them anymore.

He turned and pointed to the name on the screen.

"Put all the best youngsters from Holy City this year in the same group as him."

boom.

The teacher stood there, stunned, his mind reeling, before finally speaking after a long pause.

"Principal, with this arrangement, if something unexpected happens, those talented students might be eliminated."

"Eliminated?"

The old man sneered, "He has high talent, yet he was eliminated by someone weaker than himself. That means he doesn't deserve to enter the Zhenxing Martial Arts Academy. Forcing someone like that in will only waste resources. He'll just die sooner or later on the battlefield anyway."

"You feel sorry for them now, but who will feel sorry for them when they die at the hands of the demons?"

The teacher fell silent.

"Go and do it."

"Yes."
