Chapter 28 Weapon-type A-rank Ability User
In the last two days before his departure, he went to the depths of the wasteland again, specifically targeting monsters of level 8 or higher.
It wasn't for making money; he had enough money to last him a while. It was for the ability points.
In just two days, his lightning-type ability steadily progressed from the 7th level of the first tier to the peak of the 7th level of the first tier, just one step away from the 8th level.
His spacetime ability also operated on its own during the battle, silently breaking through to the third level of the first tier.
[Current Status]
[Host: Lin Yuan]
[Minor Lightning Strike: Rank E, Tier 1, Level 7 (Peak)]
[Herrscher of Time and Space: S-rank, Tier 1, Level 3]
[Muscle and Bone Tempering: 9 rounds (89% progress)]
[Special Ability Points: 1147]
What level would a first-tier, seventh-level peak be among high school graduates in Hangzhou?
He didn't know, but judging from the levels of Jiang Ran and the others, if a Level 4 of the first rank was enough to rank among the high school students in Hangzhou, then his true level would probably be shocking.
Therefore, he said it was a first-order quadruple.
Song Zhiyi glanced at him. Her gaze lingered a little longer than before, landing on the long spear on his shoulder, before moving away again.
"Lightning element!" Jiang Ran's eyes lit up.
"We're in the same department! Those marks on your gun, damn, how many battles have you fired that gun? It's covered in marks!"
"I killed some monsters outside my hometown."
"Some?" Jiang Ran leaned closer to examine the claw marks and teeth marks on the gun. "Some? This gun's practically scratched into a comb!"
Song Zhiyi suddenly asked, "Did you train your marksmanship yourself?"
Lin Yuan looked at her.
"The marks on the gun barrel are all on the front," she said, her voice soft but steady.
"There are almost no marks on the side. That means you never dodge, you always face the enemy head-on. Schools don't teach this kind of habit."
Lin Yuan glanced at her again.
A wind-type ability user with keen senses.
She came to the exact same conclusion as Shen Man based solely on her observations.
"I practiced it myself," he admitted.
Song Zhiyi nodded and did not ask any further questions.
The hovercar stopped at the entrance of the combat base in the west of the city.
Lin Yuan was startled again when he got out of the car.
The scale of the combat base was much larger than he had imagined.
It's not a single building, but a complex of buildings—the main building is a five-story gray-white building with a metallic surface that gleams coldly in the sunlight.
Behind the main building is a huge area enclosed by high walls. You can't see inside from the entrance, but you can faintly hear the sounds of supernatural explosions and the roars of monsters.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the base.
They were all young people around seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing all sorts of school uniforms and carrying all sorts of weapons.
The line stretched from the base entrance all the way to the street corner, with at least four or five hundred people.
There were dedicated staff maintaining order, holding megaphones, but the sound was mostly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
"So many people?" Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"This is only one test point," Jiang Ran said, seemingly unsurprised.
"There are three test centers in Hangzhou, and this one in the west of the city is the largest. This year, there are about 3,000 applicants. Nationwide, the number of applicants for the college entrance examination for people with supernatural abilities this year is 1.2 million."
One million two hundred thousand.
Lin Yuan remained silent for a second.
One million two hundred thousand high school seniors who have awakened supernatural abilities are competing for fewer than five thousand admission spots at four major universities combined.
These are only four universities...
It's even more brutal than the college entrance exam in my previous life.
"But you don't need to worry." Jiang Ran patted his shoulder.
"You are at level 4 of the first rank, which puts you in the top 100 among all the candidates in Hangzhou."
In previous years, the average level of test takers at Hangzhou test centers was Level 1, Stage 2, with less than 5% achieving Level 1, Stage 4 or higher. Your score is solid.
Lin Yuan nodded without saying anything.
The four people were at the end of the line, slowly moving forward with the flow of people.
Suddenly, a commotion arose at the front of the line.
Some people stood on tiptoe to look ahead, while others let out hushed gasps.
Jiang Ran reacted the fastest, grabbing a candidate running towards her and asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"
A boy wearing the uniform of Hangzhou No. 1 High School ran over from the front, his face full of excitement, gesturing to an acquaintance as he ran.
"Tier 1, Level 5, A-grade weapon system." Jiang Ran inquired back from the front row.
"Hangzhou No. 5 High School, the one named Han Feng, uses a sword. It is said that he awakened an A-grade spirit sword called something like 'Iron Cutter,' which, combined with his first-tier fifth-level cultivation, would rank him among the top three of all the examinees in Hangzhou."
"Weapon-based?" Lin Yuan asked.
He had learned about this world; the directions in which superpowered individuals awaken can be roughly divided into four categories.
Elemental types are the most common, including fire, water, wind, thunder, ice, earth, light, and darkness, accounting for more than 60% of awakened individuals.
The weapon system is next; what is awakened is not elemental energy, but a spiritual weapon bound to oneself, such as a sword, spear, halberd, axe, hook, or fork.
It has everything, and the magical artifacts will evolve as the master's realm improves, achieving a perfect unity between man and artifact, resulting in considerable power.
Summoning, Beast Transformation, and Special types are the rarest. Summoning types can summon contracted creatures from other dimensions.
The Beast Transformation type allows users to partially transform themselves into beasts, gaining the power of the corresponding magical beasts. Special types include mental and spatial types, etc.
Among the four universities, Kyoto and Shanghai accept students from all departments, National Martial Arts University prefers weapon and enhancement departments, and Shenzhen University accepts everything but values practical combat ability more.
"Yes, weapon-based." Jiang Ran nodded.
"I heard that when he awakened that sword, all the metal objects in the awakening room resonated, and the scene was incredibly exaggerated."
Hangzhou No. 1 High School treats him like a treasure, allocating resources to him almost as much as those given to an S-level student.
Lin Yuan nodded.
He was thinking that Su Qingyue was an S-rank Ice Phoenix, at level 5 of the first tier.
That Han Feng has an A-grade weapon system, Tier 1, Level 5.
As for himself, he is an E-rank lightning type, at the peak of the 7th level of the first tier, and a spacetime type at the 3rd level of the first tier.
With the addition of Nine Rounds of Bone Tempering and "Thunder Walks Through the Nine Heavens", his true combat strength should be unmatched below the second tier.
But he didn't say.
The line continued to move forward.
Jiang Ran was still giving a long and detailed analysis of the ranking of this year's candidates in Hangzhou, listing the top twenty as if they were his own.
Who is at the fifth level of the first tier, who is at the peak of the fourth level of the first tier, and who has special abilities despite not being at a high level?
Lin Yuan listened, nodding occasionally, but his mind was preoccupied with something else.
The start of the semester for universities in Shanghai is in two weeks.
Shen Man has gone to be a college entrance exam teacher. Zhou tide, the tutor, will not arrive in Donghai City for four days. He is currently in Hangzhou, and it will take him four hours to transfer and wait for a bus.
Four hours.
Then I went to Shanghai, and after arriving, I waited for half a month?
He glanced at the long queue at the entrance of the combat training base.
The boys and girls carried weapons and wore school uniforms, their faces showing tension, excitement, or feigned composure.
"Jiang Ran," Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
"Can students from other regions register for the college entrance examination for those with supernatural abilities?"
Jiang Ran was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Weren't you here to register?"
"I was just passing through and didn't originally plan to take the test, but it looked interesting," Lin Yuan said honestly.
Jiang Ran's expression changed from stunned to shocked, and then from shocked to a complex look of "Big brother, are you serious?"
