Chapter 119: Perfect Score

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Perfect Score

Meanwhile, the major high schools were also conducting Qi and Blood Value tests.

The soaring Qi and Blood Values of several top-level geniuses made countless ordinary geniuses’ jaws drop.

"Compared to them, I’m just trash," one student lamented powerlessly.

Following that was the Martial Arts assessment.

"I wonder how many people will be able to get a perfect score in the upcoming assessment?" a teacher said with some anticipation.

Tianhai No. 1 Middle School: Guo Heng and Wang Qiufeng entered their Virtual Cabins simultaneously.

Tianhai No. 3 Middle School: A beautiful, graceful girl calmly closed the door to her Virtual Cabin.

Bailu City, Shuangshi Middle School: The sturdily built Chen Li rubbed his chin and entered his Virtual Cabin.

...

「Tianhai No. 2 Middle School, Virtual Classroom」

Amidst a tingling, numbing sensation, Lin Qi opened his eyes to find himself in his personal space.

He navigated to the official website with practiced ease and selected the Martial Arts assessment.

[Examinee: Lin Qi]

[Examination Number: ...]

[Secret Manual: Mountain Shattering Spear Technique]

...

After clicking "Confirm," Lin Qi reappeared in the familiar, silent assessment cabin.

[Examinee Lin Qi, welcome to the Martial Arts Assessment.]

Lin Qi’s gaze locked onto the Assessor that had materialized out of thin air across from him.

The number "10" on its chest was exceptionally conspicuous.

Assessor No. 10, the strongest entity in the Xia Country’s Martial Arts assessment. Only by defeating the first nine Assessors could one face him.

It possessed the formidable strength of a Tier Two Initial Stage expert.

Lin Qi held his spear in one hand, watching Assessor No. 10.

Compared to the final assessment of last semester, his strength had undergone a world-shaking transformation.

’I wonder if there’s an even stronger existence after Assessor No. 10?’

[Assessment Mission: Defeat Assessor No. 10!]

[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]

[Martial Arts Assessment officially begins!]

WHOOSH~

The moment the automated voice’s final word fell, Assessor No. 10’s figure flashed, and the Silver Spear in its hand shot out like lightning.

SWISH SWISH~

The Long Spear pierced the void, tearing through the air as it thrust forward like a Meteor Chasing the Moon.

Lin Qi also brandished his Big Gun, powerfully executing the Mountain Shattering Spear Technique.

Facing Assessor No. 10 again, he no longer needed to use the Rock Gun Skill for defense.

He chose to meet force with force!

Lin Qi charged out in great strides, barrelling forward like a ferocious tiger launching an attack.

Open and majestic, the Black Great Spear in his hand swung wide as tyrannical power flowed from his arms into it.

The Black Great Spear transformed into a black snake emerging from its cave, lunging to devour Assessor No. 10.

BANG!!

The two spears clashed mid-air, making the air crackle.

A ferocious force transferred between the two. Lin Qi stumbled back two steps, then surged forward again, raising both arms and sweeping forcefully with his Big Gun.

It was as if he intended to sweep away all the filth between heaven and earth.

The Martial Arts assessment was different from the Red Realm Arena. Not only the Qi and Blood Value, but even physical attributes were suppressed to the same level.

To achieve victory, one could only rely on pure Skill.

CLANG! CLANG!!

The Assessor and Lin Qi clashed violently once more, their Big Guns smashing against each other in a frenzied, head-on exchange.

Lin Qi’s gaze was fixed on the Assessor’s Spear Technique. In the past, he had been no match for it at all.

He couldn’t see the trajectory of his opponent’s Spear Technique and was easily killed.

Now, they were fighting on even terms. This was his progress.

He had completely grasped the essence of the Mountain Shattering Spear Technique. In his hands, this Spear Technique had reached the stage of Perfection.

There was no room for further advancement; he was all too familiar with every move and stance.

As he watched the Spear Technique, twelve stances surfaced in his mind.

Watching the Assessor’s movements, he predicted the technique it was about to use.

BANG!

The Assessor changed its Spear Technique. Its body abruptly began to gather power, its wrist exerted force, and the Silver Spear began to spin furiously, kicking up gusts of wind.

Like a crazed dragon burrowing through the earth, it thrust out with a roar, splitting the sky and emitting a sharp whistle.

The third Killing Technique of the Mountain Shattering Spear Technique—Rock-Bursting Drill!

Lin Qi felt an intense sense of danger. A single wrong thought, and he would die.

His figure suddenly flashed, and as if he had already predicted it, his body retreated frantically.

He was less than 10 centimeters away from the cold glint before him.

Lin Qi watched the spear tip with a blank expression. Just as the distance was about to close further, he exploded with force.

He abruptly kicked out. With his spine as the central axis, all the Great Tendons in his body engaged.

BANG!

In an instant, he altered the trajectory of the opponent’s Killing Technique, forcing it to thrust upward. Lin Qi immediately ducked, spun around, and his Black Great Spear coiled like a Black Dragon before striking out.

The spear shot out like a dragon, forming a perfectly straight black line as it thrust forward at maximum speed.

Basic Spear Skill—Reversing Spear!

’It doesn’t have to be a Killing Technique to kill an enemy!’

SHUK~

A cold light flashed. Assessor No. 10’s body froze in place, a sharp spear tip piercing its throat.

The battle was over!

Lin Qi’s entire body was tilted at a severe angle; only by relying on the strength of his core did he keep himself from falling over.

The opponent’s Silver Spear had grazed past his throat. Another centimeter and it would have pierced it.

If Lin Qi’s control and calculations had been off by even a little, he would have been the one to fall.

THUD!

Assessor No. 10 collapsed, dissipating into nothingness.

[Congratulations on successfully defeating Assessor No. 10 and completing the assessment mission!]

Lin Qi looked at the message that popped up and fell silent.

’That’s it?!’

’It seems there are only 10 Assessors.’

This made Lin Qi feel disappointed; it hadn’t even tested his limits.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and chose to log out.

...

「Meanwhile, in two other assessment rooms.」

[Assessment over. You have died!]

Li Zhou looked at the pop-up message and shook his head.

’I’m still a long way off. If I can’t defeat Assessor No. 10, I can’t get a perfect score.’

’I wonder if Lin Qi can defeat Assessor No. 10?’

With this question in mind, he chose to exit the assessment and log out.

...

’Dammit!’

’I was so close!’

’If only I had worked a little harder, been a little more serious.’

’If I had been just a little faster in that last fight, I wouldn’t have been just shy of victory.’

Jiangtao gritted his teeth, his heart filled with an indignation he couldn’t vent.

In the end, he could only withdraw from the assessment in frustration.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, opened the Virtual Cabin, and stepped out. He glanced around and realized he was the last one out.

’Did I last the longest? Did I surpass Brother Qi?’

Jiangtao wondered, a little confused.

"The assessment is complete. Everyone, return to the classroom or manage your own time."

"Be back in the classroom in one hour."

"Dismissed!"

After speaking, Zhang City turned and left, simultaneously using a tablet in his hand to access the official website’s back end and check Lin Qi’s results.

’As expected. This couldn’t possibly stump him!’

Zhang City broke into a smile after seeing the result.

’I’m looking forward to this. Lin Qi’s provincial ranking this time might just set a new record.’

...

「Exiting the virtual classroom」

"Brother Qi, did you defeat Assessor No. 10?" Jiangtao eagerly sought out Lin Qi to ask.

Many others nearby also perked up their ears, listening curiously.

Lin Qi shook his head. "Taozi, don’t you think that’s a pointless question?"

Jiangtao froze on the spot. ’What does he mean? Did Brother Qi really defeat Assessor No. 10?’

’Doesn’t that mean he got a perfect score?’

’In that case, wouldn’t Brother Qi be first in the grade?’

...

Lin Qi returned to his Martial Arts Room. There was still some time before the results would be out, and he couldn’t afford to waste it.

As he took off his clothes, the Gravity Rings on his limbs were revealed.

He picked up the Black Horned Spear and began to practice his Spear Technique.

HUUUH~

He adjusted his breathing and exerted force with his wrists, the Big Gun now weighed down by the pressure from the Gravity Rings.

Half an hour later, his arms were trembling uncontrollably as soreness washed over them.

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
