Chapter 89

This night, Li Yao slept soundly and sweetly, without a single dream, all the way until dawn.

In several other places in Fuguo City, however, some people were up all night.

At two o'clock in the morning, twenty kilometers away, in a villa area.

Helian Lie slowly rose from a large vat filled with silver liquid. His face had lost some of its arrogance, but a hint of malevolence had appeared in his eyes. He had a blank expression as he slowly walked out of the vat, his skin shimmering with a layer of silver, as if coated with a layer of metal.

"It worked!"

Helian Ba stood beside him, a look of joy on his face, and growled, "A Lie, you have not let Elder Zhou Yin down. Finally, under his secret technique, you have cultivated the 'Mystic Silver Battle Body,' and your strength has greatly increased!"

Helian Lie's face was twisted with a grimace as he caressed his massive, steel-like body inch by inch, gritting his teeth. "For this month, I have endured inhuman pain, soaking day and night in the 'Secret Silver Enhancement Solution,' transforming myself into the 'Mystic Silver Battle Body.' My spirit root development has been forcibly increased to 88%, and the path of cultivation ahead is now smooth!"

"Finally, it's time for the harvest. Tomorrow, I will definitely win the title of 'Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer'!"

Helian Ba nodded. "That's right. You must become the 'Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer.' This is no longer just your personal matter, or even just our Helian family's matter. It also concerns the open and hidden struggles between Elder Zhou Yin and Demon Blade Peng Hai!"

"Elder Zhou Yin is a senior powerhouse of the Chixiao Sect, while Demon Blade Peng Hai is a new star who has recently emerged. Although they appear to be on good terms, with Elder Zhou Yin even inviting Peng Hai to train new students at Chixiao High School, creating the illusion of a harmonious relationship—"

"Behind the scenes, they have many conflicting interests, deep-seated contradictions, and have quietly engaged in several battles!"

"This matter is also a form of confrontation. Elder Zhou Yin sees potential in you and has invested a lot of resources in your cultivation; while Demon Blade Peng Hai is protecting that little bastard Li Yao, even lending him a cultivation room, clearly intending to be his backer!"

At the mention of Li Yao's name, Helian Lie's muscles instantly bulged, making him even more imposing. He gently stroked his abdomen, speaking with deliberate emphasis. "Li Yao, I will never forget this punch. After the college entrance examination, I will definitely settle the score with you!"

Helian Ba said, "As long as you can become the 'Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer,' proving Elder Zhou Yin's judgment, his position in the Chixiao Sect will be even more secure, and he will be able to completely suppress Demon Blade Peng Hai. At that time, you can take any revenge on Li Yao, and Elder Zhou Yin and our Helian family's elders will fully support you. But if you don't perform well on the exam..."

Helian Lie narrowed his eyes. "That's impossible, Father. This month, you have seen the pain I have endured. The title of 'Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer' is already mine. No one can take it from me!"

"Good, we Helian family members should have this kind of dominance. I'll be waiting for your good news!"

"By the way, Father, have you found out any information about Li Yao? Is he going to take the college entrance examination?"

"Strangely, I have checked the list of individuals who registered for this year's Fuguo City college entrance examination through connections, and there are 5,788 candidates who registered individually, but Li Yao's name is not on it."

Helian Lie was taken aback. "Then has he transferred to another school?"

Helian Ba shook his head. "I have checked all the top high schools in the city, even some stronger ordinary high schools, and there is no record of him. It seems this boy's strength has not yet recovered, and he will not be taking the college entrance examination this year."

"Is that so? What a pity. These days, I have been busy with cultivation and haven't had the time to look for this trash. After the college entrance examination, once I have the title of 'Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer,' I will find him... for a slow and steady 'exchange'!"

...

At three o'clock in the morning, twenty-five kilometers away, in another ancient and elegant villa.

Si Jiaxue yawned lightly, rubbed her slightly sleepy eyes, and gently closed the crystal brain screen.

"Xiaoxue, go to bed early. The college entrance examination is coming up. The most important thing now is not to study but to get a good night's sleep and maintain your best condition," a plump middle-aged woman said with concern from behind her.

Si Jiaxue smiled faintly. "Mom, don't worry. It's just a college entrance examination. I haven't taken it seriously. Four hours of sleep is enough."

...

At four o'clock in the morning, thirty kilometers away, in a dense forest.

In a log cabin, the sounds of singing and panting filled the air.

"Master Zheng, Master Zheng, take it easy. The college entrance examination is coming up, Master Zheng!" On a large pink bed, seven women lay sprawled, displaying a thousand charms and melting like mud.

Zheng Dongming's cat-like eyes gleamed with lust as he leered. "This young master has been on a two-month fast. Now that I've finally recovered, I must indulge myself first. The college entrance examination? Whatever!"

...

Apart from them, countless high school seniors across the Starlight Federation were up all night, anxiously awaiting the dawn. Some, unable to bear the insomnia until the darkest moment before dawn, finally succumbed to drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

When they opened their eyes again, it was already around eight o'clock!

"Oh no, the exam starts at nine. Get up quickly!"

Countless students across the federation leaped out of bed, like soldiers hearing the charge, rushing out of their homes, rushing to school, and rushing to the examination rooms!

Li Yao was one of them.

While other candidates showed signs of anxiety, excessive excitement, or panic, Li Yao appeared calm and composed.

It wasn't until he walked into the classroom, entered the college entrance examination-specific test cabin, and the cabin door slowly closed that Li Yao's expression became more animated, his eyes revealing a glint of hunger.

If the fat dragon and the wild wolf in the treasure tomb saw him, they would recognize it—the look of a "Vulture" about to pounce on its prey.

The college entrance examination, which determines one's fate, officially began!

The entire Starlight Federation fell silent. The skies over every city were quiet, with only a few flying cars moving as slowly as snails, silently crawling through the sky. Even the cultivators who usually flew their swords with a whoosh were now cautious, not daring to make a single noise.

Anyone who dared to disturb the candidates at this moment, even a Yuan Ying elder, would be overwhelmed by millions of angry parents.

One hour... two hours...

Countless candidates inside the test cabins were doing their best, while countless parents outside the school gates waited anxiously.

Three hours passed, the most peaceful and the most tense three hours in the Starlight Federation.

Finally—

After more than three hours of the exam, some candidates who had finished early began to leave the test cabins, sweating profusely and feeling relieved as they walked out of the school, causing the first wave of excitement.

Five hours later, when the exam time was up, all candidates were forcibly logged out of the test cabins.

The Starlight Federation returned to its usual noise, even more chaotic than five hours earlier. All parents and candidates gathered at the school, waiting for the college entrance examination results to be announced!

The college entrance examination-specific test cabins were equipped with advanced crystal brains with ultra-high computing power. As candidates battled in the virtual realm, the crystal brains could calculate their scores in real time.

Theoretically, the moment a candidate stepped out of the test cabin, the crystal brain could calculate the final college entrance examination score.

However, to ensure the fairness of the college entrance examination, all scores were transmitted to other crystal brains in the spirit network for verification after being calculated.

Each candidate's score had to be calculated by seven different crystal brains, and only when all seven produced the same score could it be confirmed as correct and uploaded to the main control crystal brain of the city's education bureau.

The entire process took about an hour.

After an hour, the main control crystal brain of the city's education bureau would announce all the candidates' scores and rankings, which candidates could check through their personal crystal brains.

However, high-quality high schools like Chixiao High School, which had the potential to produce the "Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer," would set up a large screen in the most prominent place to display the names and scores of the top 100, 500, and 1,000 students in the city.

This was a turbulent hour, a heart-stopping hour, a time that left one's mouth dry, heart racing, and veins bursting!

In the campus of Chixiao High School, the principal, board members, head of the teaching department, thousands of students, and thousands of parents were all silent, tense, and staring intently at the large screen in the center of the playground, waiting for the final results to be announced.

Helian Lie stood out among the crowd, exuding a powerful aura that no one dared to approach, creating a space of over a meter around him.

He crossed his arms, appearing calm, but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner anxiety.

Suddenly, the originally pitch-black screen flickered, rippling.

The previously silent crowd immediately became restless.

"Quick, the results are coming out!"

"I wonder if anyone from our school can win the title of 'Fuguo City College Entrance Examination Top Scorer'?"

"Apparently, we have two very strong candidates this time, both with a good chance!"

"Ah, the results are out!"

The ripples on the screen spread faster and faster, and a series of blood-red numbers rained down from the top of the screen, forming the names and scores of hundreds of candidates.

At the top, a line of text read:

"Helian Lie of Chixiao High School, total college entrance examination score 715, spirit root development 88%, total score 629.2, currently ranking first in total score!"
