Chapter 102: Top Ten in the Entire Province of 77 Xia Nation! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

~13 min read 2,418 words

Starfire Nanhu Residential District, Zone 1.

Villa 225.

As the most high-end villa district in Guanshan District, on par with the Starry Sky Nanhu District, every villa occupies a very large area.

Li Yuan and his family's new home is right here.

Three stories above ground, a building area exceeding eight hundred square meters, a garden over five hundred square meters, and an underground space reaching over a thousand square meters... This is the new home equipped for Li Yuan by the Starfire Martial Hall.

If one were to sell it, this villa's bare shell alone would exceed fifty million, not to mention the specially reinforced underground martial arts room... The overall construction cost exceeds eighty million Blue Star coins, and the key is that one wouldn't even be qualified to buy it.

Twenty-year residency rights.

Today is June 12th, the day for the release of the college entrance examination results. Li Yuan, his uncle Li Zhangzhou, and his aunt Chen Hui are all staying in the first-floor living room, waiting for the results.

It is Friday, so Li Qianqian and Li Muhua have already gone to school.

"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry."

Li Yuan looked at his uncle and aunt, who were somewhat restless, and smiled: "I will definitely pass the cutoff."

Having experienced many things and possessing absolute confidence in his own strength, Li Yuan was very composed.

The national cutoff? He could pass it easily.

"We know, but..." Li Zhangzhou shook his head.

The closer it gets to the reveal of the results, parents are often more anxious because they are more aware of the importance of the college entrance examination.

During the waiting time, occasionally relatives would come to ask about 'Li Yuan's' exam results.

One must know, for over a decade, Li Yuan had a very shallow impression of the relatives around him.

Over these years, hardly anyone had visited.

Firstly, the relatives knew the situation of his uncle and aunt's family; when Li Yuan was young, his medical expenses were staggering, and with such a heavy burden, these relatives were all afraid of being asked for money.

Secondly, Li Yuan's father and Li Zhangzhou were the only two brothers, and his aunt Chen Hui was an only child, so the so-called relatives were mostly cousins.

First-generation relatives, second-generation cousins; by Li Yuan's generation, these kinship ties were already very shallow.

But most of these relatives were from Jiangcheng City.

Therefore, since April, after the program Li Yuan appeared on was broadcast and spread throughout Jiangcheng City and even Jiangbei City, the number of 'relatives' concerned about Li Yuan gradually increased.

"Cousin! Li Yuan's results aren't out yet, let's talk about it later..." Chen Hui responded casually.

Of course.

There were also some calls from those who had truly cared about and helped Li Yuan's family all along, such as Zhong Cheng and Uncle Wang.

Finally, it was nine o'clock.

"Li Yuan, you can check the scores now." Aunt Chen Hui immediately leaned over, her face showing a trace of nervousness, yet she didn't want to appear too eager.

Li Zhangzhou also looked over but didn't speak.

As the head of the household, his uncle always remained composed.

"Okay." Li Yuan smiled, tapped his smart ring, and a light screen appeared, taking him directly to the score-checking page.

Li Yuan had been prepared for a long time.

"Beep~" The page paused for a moment; with the current network communication efficiency, this was simply incredible... but it only lagged for a moment.

At this moment, it wasn't just people from the Xia Nation checking their college entrance exam scores, but people from all countries on Blue Star.

Swish!

The score page popped out, and two heads appeared on either side of Li Yuan, both staring at the scores above:

Name: Li Yuan

Subject: Martial Arts

ID Number: 420111202508298013

Exam Number: XXXX

Body: 500

Skill: 400

Culture: 86

Bonus: 20

Total Score: 1006

National Cutoff: 941

Provincial Cutoff: 772

Provincial Ranking: 77

Looking at the total score of 1006 and the provincial ranking of 77.

Aunt Chen Hui felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, finally revealing an excited smile, even shedding tears while laughing.

Her thousand-pound burden.

At this moment, it was completely released.

Chen Hui only felt that her dedication over these ten-plus years had all been worth it.

"Good! Good!" Li Zhangzhou also smiled, reaching out to hug his wife.

He knew that Chen Hui had experienced a lot over these ten-plus years, accompanying him through fear and anxiety, suffering many, many hardships, often alone at home taking care of three children.

Now, it was finally time for the bitterness to end and the sweetness to begin.

"Uncle, Aunt, you can be completely at ease now." Li Yuan smiled; he himself was very satisfied with this score.

The martial arts score was still a perfect score, and as his spiritual sense grew stronger and his learning ability increased, Li Yuan's cultural score also hit a new high in the college entrance examination.

But limited by the bonus points, his total score was destined to be significantly lower than many others.

Therefore, regarding the '77' provincial ranking, Li Yuan was already very satisfied.

Over here.

Aunt Chen Hui reorganized her emotions and began to call the relatives who had just called one by one: "Hello, cousin! Let me tell you, the scores just came out, Li Yuan only scored 1006 points, only 60-something points above the martial arts national cutoff, he didn't perform well..."

Li Yuan and Li Zhangzhou looked at each other and both smiled.

Today, Li Yuan's score was, for Chen Hui, her 'work summary' of over ten years, her most glorious moment.

No amount of showing off would be too much.

"You should first send a V-message to those seniors and teachers of yours as soon as possible to report your results." Li Zhangzhou reminded: "The sooner the better, to show your respect."

"Especially the teachers at Kunlun Martial Arts University, to give them peace of mind." Li Zhangzhou said.

"Okay." Li Yuan immediately dialed the V-messages one by one.

Xu Bo, Teacher Chen, Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, Senior Ji from the military base, Fan Jin, Dean Li... This was also a summary of Li Yuan's achievements.

For Li Yuan, who had already signed with Kunlun Martial Arts University.

This score was already a near-perfect answer sheet.

"Yes, Dean Li... Oh, the admission notice will be issued in five days, report on 6.28, and officially enroll on 7.3?" Li Yuan was conversing with Dean Li.

After finishing all the calls, it was already past ten o'clock.

Aunt Chen Hui, after showing off for a while, had already entered the kitchen to start getting busy.

She wanted to cook a few good dishes to celebrate.

Li Yuan and his uncle Li Zhangzhou walked together into the courtyard, feeling the midsummer sunshine.

"Li Yuan, this time it's all thanks to you." Li Zhangzhou said softly: "If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to come back."

"Uncle, don't say that." Li Yuan shook his head: "Our family should be fine, and now everything is good."

Li Zhangzhou smiled and didn't refute anything further; he knew Li Yuan's character.

"When do you plan to go to Kunlun Martial Arts University to report?" Li Zhangzhou asked.

"July 2nd." Li Yuan had already decided.

"So late?" Li Zhangzhou was slightly surprised; he had just heard Li Yuan's conversation with Dean Li.

"I want to stay at home for a few more days to accompany you and Aunt." Li Yuan smiled: "Kunlun Martial Arts University only has a half-month vacation every six months; once I go to university, it will be difficult to come home in the future."

"It won't delay your cultivation, will it?" Li Zhangzhou frowned.

"It won't delay it, the martial arts room at home is enough for my cultivation, and there's no shortage of various cultivation resources." Li Yuan smiled.

Li Zhangzhou relaxed his brow: "That's fine, you decide on martial arts matters yourself, I have some free time here, let's have a good chat."

In fact, in Li Zhangzhou's heart, he wanted Li Yuan to be able to relax for a few days.

During this time at home, he had seen Li Yuan's cultivation with his own eyes and had a new understanding.

He felt that Li Yuan was wound too tight; the madness of his cultivation made even his scalp tingle.

Too much is as bad as too little.

"By the way, Uncle." Li Yuan smiled: "I just bought a fishing rod yesterday, starting tomorrow, I'll accompany you to fish in the district's pond."

"That's great." Li Zhangzhou became interested.

Having worked and traveled for years, he hadn't tried this hobby for a long time.

Li Yuan looked at his uncle's smile and the scene of his aunt cooking in the kitchen in the distance.

He couldn't help but reveal a smile.

After working so hard for so many years, wasn't the scene before him exactly what he was pursuing?

What he needed to do next was to become stronger and protect this beauty.

Basking in the sun, looking at the lawn, in a trance, Li Yuan recalled his childhood, when he would often say: Uncle, take me out to play, okay?

In middle school, it changed to 'Uncle, Aunt, see you tonight.'

Now, it was finally about to change to 'Uncle, Aunt, I'll be back at the end of the year.'

"I often hear people say that once most people graduate from high school, 90% of the time they spend with their parents in their lifetime has already passed." Li Yuan thought to himself: "."

That night.

Li Qianqian and Li Muhua came home and, upon learning of Li Yuan's college entrance exam results, were also extremely happy and excited.

The whole family celebrated.

At eight o'clock in the evening, under the gaze of the whole family, Li Yuan was in the newly opened 'Volunteer Filling System'.

For his first choice, he filled in Kunlun Martial Arts University.

Late at night, his uncle and aunt had already fallen asleep.

Villa 225, basement.

This was actually a martial arts room covering nearly a thousand square meters with a height of over six meters.

"Hoo!"

Li Yuan, as always, practiced the Stellar Spear Technique for nearly two full hours before stopping to rest.

Li Yuan's peripheral vision swept across the Divine Palace panel.

——

【Life Layer: Level 10.6 (First Rank)】

Fist Strength: 1623 kg

Speed: 23.8 m/s

Spiritual Sense: Level 17.5

Spiritual Awakening Degree: 12.8% (Current limit 20%)

Physical Cultivation Method: "Bedrock Cultivation Method"

Mental Cultivation Method: "Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra"

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Stage 34%), Movement Technique (Fourth Stage 26%), Fist Technique (Fourth Stage 36%)

... "From April until now, relying on the brand-new cultivation plan, my physical fitness improvement hasn't slowed down in the slightest."

Li Yuan thought to himself: "However, the further one goes, the more staggering the gap in physical fitness at each level becomes."

Like Level 11, the standard fist strength is 1800 kg.

Level 12 is 3000 kg.

Level 13, the standard fist strength has already reached a terrifying 5000 kg.

Just in terms of life layer level, the speed of improvement will become slower and slower; this is unavoidable.

"Enroll in July."

"End of July, practical combat assessment." Li Yuan sighed: "I hope to let the spiritual awakening degree reach 20% and see if I can have another source force infusion."

If he could have another one.

It would cause Li Yuan's physical fitness and spiritual sense to significantly improve once again.

"On the other hand."

"Fourth-stage skill improvement is indeed more difficult the further one goes." Li Yuan's gaze swept over the spear and fist techniques.

Nearly two months have passed, and the progress has actually been quite significant.

However, if one follows this speed of progress, the hope of reaching the Bright Moon stage on the Starry Sky Fighting Network before the age of 18 is almost zero.

"Do my best."

Li Yuan felt calm in his heart and began to practice the basic cultivation method again.

Nine o'clock in the evening, Kunlun Martial Arts University, thousands of miles away from Jiangbei Province.

Inside a teaching building, the lights were bright.

In one of the conference rooms, there were many people coming and going.

"How is the admission situation? Is it out yet?" The bald, burly man 'Dean Li' said in a low voice.

"We are still constantly contacting, striving to let more students choose our Kunlun Martial Arts University." This teacher said in a low voice: "For the top 50 of each province, our recruitment teams have already set off to invite them one by one."

"Tomorrow, we should be able to summarize the results."

"Hmm."

Dean Li nodded and asked again: "What about the students on the pre-signed list? Give me a copy of their results."

"Yes." This teacher had been prepared for a long time and quickly took out a copy and handed it to Dean Li.

Dean Li looked down, and the person ranked first on the list was none other than Li Yuan.

"Why is Li Yuan first?" Dean Li couldn't help but say: "His college entrance exam ranking, I remember it was only seventy-something in the province."

"It changed."

"This year, Principal Fang gave the order that all rankings after enrollment will be based on actual scores." This recruitment teacher said: "This Li Yuan, our admissions office has also noticed."

"His total score is 77th in Jiangbei Province, which is not eye-catching; it is expected that after enrollment, he will only rank around 350th among all students."

"However, this is counting the spiritual bonus and some other additions."

"If you don't count the bonus."

"Li Yuan, as a perfect martial arts score, is the first in Jiangbei Province's martial arts raw score." The admissions teacher said: "He is even in the top ten nationally."

"Jiangbei first? National top ten?" Dean Li didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed in his heart.

Dean Li could be certain.

Now, on the desks of all the deans of the eight colleges of Kunlun Martial Arts University, Li Yuan's information had already been placed.

It would be difficult for him to secretly pull people into the Sixth College.

"Principal Fang, you really have nothing better to do." Dean Li muttered in his heart.
