Chapter 37

Early the next morning, before the enrollment assessment had even begun, the Puhai Martial Arts Plaza was already bustling with people.

The first day of the gene fusion degree test had revealed a bunch of talented geniuses.

The first name on the huge electronic ranking screen was Aixi, with an assessment score of S (96.0073), Jianqiao University.

The top-ranked Aixi was a young girl from Europe whose gene fusion degree reached a staggering 96%, which was definitely an S-level.

Aixi wasn't the only one to reach S-level; Muerku from Africa also reached S-level in gene fusion degree.

Although it was just crossing the threshold of S-level, a 95% fusion degree was still staggering.

The students who had come to participate in the enrollment assessment full of confidence on the first day were now feeling a bit uneasy after seeing others' gene fusion degrees.

Students who came here to participate in the Blue Star Top Ten Academies' assessment had basically all done their own gene fusion degree tests.

Of course, the tests they did themselves, even if done at the most authoritative institutions like the Huaxia Martial Arts Gene Testing Building in Puhai Plaza,

were not accurate, with a maximum error of up to twenty percentage points.

"Wanran, are you three really sure?" Geng Qianxing, who had entered the Puhai Martial Arts Plaza for the second time, was feeling a bit unconfident himself.

To be honest, when he first arrived, he was full of confidence.

The things Ding Huan taught were beneficial not only to the three students but also to him.

Plus, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi had always been bursting with self-confidence, which made Geng Qianxing very confident as well.

After some of the results from the first round of assessment came out yesterday, Geng Qianxing felt a bit uneasy.

However, as the team leader, he couldn't lose heart, so he held back and didn't ask.

Seeing the huge rankings on the plaza again today, with the eye-catching two S-levels and a bunch of A-levels, he couldn't help but ask.

After asking, Geng Qianxing regretted it.

At this time, a teacher should be leading the team to boost morale, not to dampen it; wasn't he dampening morale?

Li Wanran, who had always been full of confidence, said somewhat uncertainly, "Teacher Geng, even if we can't get a high grade in the first round of gene fusion degree testing, passing shouldn't be a problem, right?

Our strengths are in the third and fourth rounds of assessment."

"Right, we have absolute confidence in the third and fourth rounds of assessment." Fang Chong's confidence didn't seem to have been dampened.

The more he practiced the Basic Long Fist, the more powerful he felt.

Unfortunately, he could only spar with Lu Zi and Li Wanran usually and hadn't fought with anyone outside, so he didn't know how powerful he really was.

And Li Wanran and Lu Zi were also practicing the Basic Long Fist, so they were evenly matched when they sparred.

Because of this, he was looking forward to the third and fourth rounds of assessment.

"I should have let you go for a test first."

Geng Qianxing regretted it a bit; he should have let the three of them go to the Puhai Martial Arts Gene Testing Building for a test beforehand.

At least they would have had a baseline.

"Teacher Geng..." Huang Chengwei, who was walking toward the waiting area for Luohe Upper Martial Arts University, met Geng Qianxing head-on and called out somewhat awkwardly.

To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with his parents' arrangements.

Anyway, he wouldn't pass, and now not only did he not stay at Yujiang University for assessment training, but he even had to sit on the Luohe Upper Martial Arts University side while waiting, which was truly embarrassing.

That Professor Fu, to be honest, in Huang Chengwei's view, was somewhat undeserving of his reputation.

Three months of training, money was not spared, but the things taught were really just average.

Basic genetic knowledge, what to pay attention to when testing genes to improve fusion degree, the early morning breathing method...

Huang Chengwei knew how much he had learned in three months; he had improved a little bit, but this little bit of improvement was really limited.

It would have been better to stay at Yujiang University; at least Yujiang University had two good teachers.

Especially that Teacher Ding Huan; at least he spoke well and knew how to brag.

And Teacher Geng's basic genetic knowledge, Huang Chengwei felt, should be stronger than Professor Fu's. People, having a big reputation doesn't necessarily mean having big skills.

Geng Qianxing nodded without saying much and took the three students to sit in the lonely Yujiang University waiting area again.

He didn't have any resentment toward Huang Chengwei's choice; there was no problem with people striving for better things, he just felt there was no human touch.

The assessment broadcast sounded again, and waves of people entered the examination hall to continue the first round of gene fusion degree testing.

As if timed perfectly, when Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi were at their most nervous, the broadcast called their examination numbers.

"Don't be nervous, good luck." Geng Qianxing, who was clearly nervous himself, still urged the three students not to be nervous.

It was impossible not to be nervous, but no matter how nervous Fang Chong and the others were, they had to walk into the assessment testing area.

The gene fusion degree assessment here was different from tests elsewhere; tests elsewhere involved standing on a machine and placing both hands in a test slot.

The gene fusion degree test here required using a needle to pierce the back of the hand, and the test was completed when blood seeped out.

Geng Qianxing hadn't even sat down yet when the three of them walked back.

"So fast? How was it?" Geng Qianxing asked immediately.

Li Wanran shook her head, "We don't know either; we went in, used a needle to pierce the back of our hands, and the test ended after bleeding; it took less than three minutes in total."

"The results will be out on the big screen in a moment," Lu Zi said from the side.

Fang Chong clicked his tongue, "The names that appear on the big screen are those who passed the assessment, at least E-level."

"If you don't even reach E-level, knowing or not knowing your score is meaningless. Wait, if we don't reach E-level, wouldn't we have no chance to participate in the third and fourth rounds..."

Fang Chong's words suddenly stopped, and then he opened his mouth wide, looking at the huge electronic score screen standing in the plaza.

On the global ranking electronic screen, the first place was none other than Lu Zi, with an assessment score of S-level, and the fusion degree behind it was ninety-eight.

That was the global ranking electronic screen.

"Lu Zi, you're first, with a fusion degree of over 98%, how are you so powerful..." Fang Chong finally reacted.

At this moment, not only Fang Chong, but Geng Qianxing and Li Wanran were also stunned; they had also seen Lu Zi's S-level score.

The assessment score S was followed by a parenthesis containing the data 98.0339, which was the fusion degree data.

A 98% fusion degree was almost the best result in the first round of the Blue Star Top Ten Academies' enrollment assessment in recent years.

Lu Zi also clenched his fists; he had always had a premonition that his score wouldn't be too bad, and now it was indeed so.

Another thing was that only Teacher Ding knew he had become a Level 1 gene cultivator.

Participating in this level of assessment as a Level 1 gene cultivator, he would definitely be able to get a good score in the third and fourth rounds of assessment.

"Li Wanran, you're also S-level... No, Fang Chong, you're also S-level..." Geng Qianxing was so excited that he was incoherent.

Li Wanran and Fang Chong, who had just envied Lu Zi, were also stunned; they saw their own scores, one ranked second and one ranked fourth.

On the global score electronic screen for the first round of gene fusion degree assessment, Li Wanran's score was in the second column.

Li Wanran, assessment score S (96.1107), Yujiang University.

And Fang Chong's name was in the fourth column, Fang Chong, assessment score S (95.2261), Yujiang University.

The original first-place Aixi had dropped to third.

Geng Qianxing and the others were so excited they couldn't control themselves, while outside, the families and friends of Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi suspected that the electronic screen had malfunctioned after seeing the scores.

When they realized the scores were real and valid, Li Wanran's mother was so excited she cried.

Fang Chong's father even rubbed his eyes specifically; he thought that after today's assessment ended, there would be nothing left for his Fang Chong.

His Fang Chong had at least participated in the Blue Star Top Ten Academies' enrollment assessment, which would make it easier for him to help his son find a job.

This kind of enrollment assessment was elimination-based; if you were eliminated in the first round, you wouldn't have a chance to participate in the second round.

Now, what was going on? Fang Chong not only passed the first round of assessment but also had an S-level score?

Then Fang Yinbao remembered that Fang Chong had always said he was confident and that their teacher was very powerful.

He used to just listen, but now it was actually true?

Compared to Fang Yinbao, who was also stunned, the principal of Yujiang University, Tan Bei, was truly unable to control himself, to the point where he rubbed his eyes repeatedly, worried that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Although he longed for Yujiang University to have a student get into one of the Blue Star Top Ten Academies, deep down he knew the probability was almost zero.

It was just that he was deceiving himself, not wanting Yujiang University to become a thing of the past just like that.

Yet what had he just seen? In the first round of assessment, Yujiang University's students Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi were all S-level?

And Lu Zi was temporarily ranked first? Were his eyes not playing tricks on him? He had been rubbing them for a long time.

Tan Bei was, after all, a comrade who had experienced the beatings of society; he woke up in a short time and laughed loudly with excitement.

He turned around, wanting to find some acquaintances to share his excitement, only to find that there was no one he knew around him.

Tan Bei's excited mood calmed down; people always know who is sincere in times of trouble.

When Yujiang University was booming, if he had stood here, he would have been surrounded by teachers or staff from various departments.

Now there was only him, all alone.

No, there was also Geng Qianxing.

Hmm, Teacher Geng was a talent and a loyal comrade.

This time, upon returning to Yujiang University, he must make Geng Qianxing one of the school's leaders.

Only good teachers like Geng Qianxing could make Yujiang University flourish for a long time.
