The Absolute Dark Horse from Jiangcheng No.2 High School!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The article’s accompanying image showed Xu Jingming slaying a Tier-Two Bloodthirsty Bear with a long spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Xiaoming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aunt also recognized Xu Jingming from the image and immediately scrolled through the article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingwan had a gentle personality and rarely showed strong emotional reactions to ordinary matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she read the article bit by bit, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flush of excitement slowly rose on her lovely face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten thousand points! Jiangcheng’s number one! Wonderful! Wonderful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingwan seemed as if she’d won a multi-million-dollar lottery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The article on her phone felt like a winning ticket, which she kept checking repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She whispered under her breath phrases like “Xiaoming has finally come into his own” and “Now our Xu family has an heir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, her emotions gradually calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoming, with this score, won’t you be able to directly pick any of the top ten universities nationwide when it’s time to fill out your application?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aunt Xu Qingwan asked, eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday, the principal told me I’ve already qualified for direct recruitment—I don’t need to fill out any applications, just wait for the universities to make offers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming smiled in explanation, and Tang Qi added: “Mom, with Jingming’s score, he’s essentially a provincial top scorer candidate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he doesn’t become the provincial top scorer, he’s definitely among the top three in Jiangnan Province.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that ranking, even the three top universities will fight to recruit him directly—they won’t make him go through the application process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Top three universities? Direct recruitment? Good, good, good! Xiaoming, you’ve given your aunt a huge surprise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingwan said three “goods” in a row, then asked eagerly: “By the way, when is the Wu Ke ranking being announced?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The date isn’t fixed, but it won’t be later than five days from now,” Xu Jingming replied after a moment’s thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The national Wu Ke scores would be released simultaneously across the country on the same day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, each province would rigorously review the video footage from the Wu Ke exam to prevent cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workload was substantial, but the results would be announced no later than five days from now—by June 13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! After the results are announced, your aunt will treat you to a big meal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingwan’s smile was radiant. After a pause, she voiced her biggest question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Xiaoming, you only have an E-rank ability—how did you get such a high score?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since ancient times, the rarer the ability, the stronger the combat power—this was universally accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were indeed individuals who rose to greatness using low-rank abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such people were exceedingly rare—fewer than phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the article’s description, thunder surging and wiping out a whole group of Tier-One high-level beasts—this was impossible for an E-rank [Weak Electricity] ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xu Jingming was still only an Awakened One—he wasn’t even an Ability User yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xu Qingwan’s question, Tang Qi’s beautiful eyes turned expectantly toward him, clearly equally curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming had already prepared his answer and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The day before yesterday afternoon, while I was training in the living room, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck through the window and knocked me out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I woke up, I realized my original ability had evolved—it became much stronger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why you went to Lei Wu Gym afterward to test your ability!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qi suddenly understood, and her aunt Xu Qingwan nodded slightly in agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There was indeed a thunderstorm the afternoon before yesterday. But instead of getting hurt by the lightning, you turned misfortune into fortune—your ability mutated. That’s quite lucky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, find a time to go back to the gym for another ability test—see what level your ability has mutated to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on the power described in the article, your ability must have evolved to at least B-rank or higher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jingming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ability mutation was rare, but not unheard of—using this as an excuse for his ability’s evolution had been his plan all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the lightning had struck outside his window during the mutation, and most people had already heard about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, no matter what, you two siblings—one ranked twelfth in Jiangcheng, the other first—are both outstanding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on! Let’s go buy some groceries—I’ll cook you a great lunch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingwan’s face beamed with uncontainable joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xu Jingming couldn’t help but smile slightly, walking shoulder to shoulder with his cousin Tang Qi beside their aunt...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>June 11, 9:00 p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mado Ability University, Admissions Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Tier-Three and Tier-Four Ability Users—rare sights elsewhere—filled the entire office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat around a large round table, numbering at least thirty or forty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Ability Users looked anxious, as if waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a slightly overweight middle-aged man hurried in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a mechanical disk in his hand: “The national Wu Ke rankings are out—everyone prepare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the official release, the national Wu Ke rankings were strictly confidential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this only applied to ordinary people—top universities like theirs could obtain the rankings a day early without difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, the rankings are out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This year’s rankings seem a bit late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not really—last year was only one day earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Mado Ability University’s admissions office, these few days were the busiest of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to devise different direct recruitment strategies based on the strength of the top three students from each province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students with high strength and great potential required more resources to recruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with relatively weaker strength and lower potential could be recruited with fewer resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Mado Ability University—Qingjing Ability University and Jincheng Ability University also did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As usual, let’s first review the provincial top scorers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man in front inserted the mechanical disk into a prepped projector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hum, a list displaying the scores and rankings of all students from over thirty provincial administrative regions instantly projected onto the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First provincial administrative region: Qingjing City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s deep voice sounded, and the projection, as if intelligent, immediately displayed Qingjing City’s student rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared directly at the top of the list:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Number One, Zhou Yi (Qingjing High School), 9343 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Iva, display Zhou Yi’s information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the man spoken than a clear electronic voice replied: “Understood, Director.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a holographic image appeared in the center of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed Zhou Yi’s combat footage from the Wu Ke exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Yi, eighteen, Awakened with a Tier-A Strength Ability: Bronze Body, Rank One Upper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father is a Tier-Four Ability User...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every top university possessed extraordinary information-gathering capabilities—Mado Ability University was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the central hologram played Zhou Yi’s battle footage, his details echoed in every admissions teacher’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bronze Body?
