Chapter 56: Practical Combat Assessment, Decision

The origin of the title "Demon King Ji" is inseparable from Ji Huai's own absurd speed of power increase.

On the third day after the Blue Star 2.2 update, Ji Huai's contracted spirit beast advanced to the Growth Tier, and he himself was promoted to an official player.

On the fourth day, Ji Huai's first contracted spirit beast reached Growth Tier Level 20, and he simultaneously contracted a second spirit beast.

On the sixth day, Ji Huai's second contracted spirit beast advanced to the Growth Tier, reaching Growth Tier Level 20 the same day.

Now Ji Huai's supernatural value has surpassed the three-thousand mark.

Of course, this is not solely his achievement; it is the inevitable result of a group of people behind him burning themselves like kindling, and only a tiny few truly benefit.

Each of them is one in a million, and after layers of political review, they are approved by the high-level officials of the Yanhuang State.

At this moment, Ji Huai is not only the strongest in Changxing City, but also ranks among the top three supernatural beings in Donghu Province.

Logically, with such strength, he no longer needs to teach the Supernatural Combat class, but Ji Huai insists on seeing this cohort through, hoping for a proper beginning and end.

And Ji Huai's persistence became the start of the students' nightmare.

Upon hearing this, the playground erupted in an uproar, especially among the students with poorer grades, whose faces now looked grim.

"Including Yan Da and Hua Qing, as well as any top-tier university you know of." Ji Huai spoke in a low voice, "This policy is being rolled down from top universities, basically covering all first-tier colleges; colleges below that tier will only have this major next year."

"Quiet." Ji Huai barked, waiting for the playground to quiet down again before continuing, "The original purpose of the Supernatural Combat class was to quickly cultivate supernaturals with sufficient strength to face the uncertain future after the descent of supernatural power."

One hand rose.

Seeing the white-clad figure, the students couldn't help but shrink their heads and quiet down, each forming ranks and waiting.

The students prick up their ears, curious about what matter could make Ji Huai cancel today's combat training and announce it at this time.

"I have something to announce to you." Ji Huai's voice grew a bit more solemn.

Although it's only the lowest Level 1, he still has supernatural power!

Just as before, Ji Huai still wore a loose white training uniform, sitting cross-legged on the big playground awaiting everyone's arrival.

"Teacher, does that include Yan Da and Hua Qing?"

Although Ji Huai had controlled his strength and avoided serious injury, minor injuries are inevitable in such fierce combat, so every day in the Supernatural Combat class, the students complain endlessly.

The class bell rang soon; after leading the students in the usual two rounds of fist practice, Ji Huai's sharp gaze swept over the field, and his next sentence made the tense students feel as if they had been granted a great pardon.

Fortunately, facing such a strong opponent's pressure, everyone did indeed improve.

Combined with the two rounds of the "Basic Fist Technique" practiced before each day's combat training, Qin Chuan felt his physical condition was now roughly equivalent to that of a Level 1 monster beast.

"And now, this uncertain future has already revealed its tip of the iceberg."

At first, Ji Huai merely selected five students each class to spar with him, while the others found their own partners to train.

Now he directly has all over two hundred students from four classes go up together, then eliminates everyone within half an hour, basically playing the "not human" role.

"Today, we will not conduct combat training."

"Starting next academic year, major universities will launch Supernatural Theory and Supernatural Combat departments; you, this year's college entrance examinees, can choose these two majors when filling out your applications."

"Monster beasts have appeared."

"Therefore, the content of the upcoming Supernatural Combat class will also be adjusted accordingly."

"Tomorrow, you will face a practical combat assessment." Ji Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, "The opponent is a monster beast."

"The Special Affairs Group will arrange personnel to protect your safety as much as possible, but cannot guarantee no accidents or casualties; therefore, this is an assessment you may refuse to participate in."

"But before deciding to refuse, first patiently listen to the rewards of the practical combat assessment." Ji Huai's voice paused slightly, "You should have heard of independent recruitment."

"That is another route for top universities to recruit students; if they confirm a student is excellent enough, they can lower the score requirement or even grant direct admission."

"The practical combat assessment is similar to independent recruitment."

"Your performance each time you participate in the practical combat assessment will be recorded and presented before the university admissions office staff."

"As long as you perform outstandingly, even Yan Da and Hua Qing's Supernatural Combat departments will make exceptional admissions for you!"

"Now you have half an hour to decide whether to participate in tomorrow's practical combat assessment." Ji Huai spoke slowly, "You all have your phones; you can contact your families and discuss."

"I'll add one more point." Seeing students take out their phones, Ji Huai raised his voice slightly, "Any examinee who chooses not to participate in all practical combat assessments before the college entrance exam cannot apply to any university's Supernatural Combat department; they can only apply for the Supernatural Theory department or a liberal arts major."

He stopped speaking, sat cross-legged in place, and waited quietly.

"Mm, Dad, don't worry, I'll take care of myself—our earth attribute's specialty is taking a beating!" Xiao Pang beside him quickly finished his call, gave a hehe laugh, "My family agreed! Qin Chuan, how about you?"

"I will participate." Qin Chuan said without hesitation.

With his cultural scores, even if he works hard for the last two months, he can only reach the second-tier cutoff line.

The door to the supernatural world has already opened for him; he doesn't want to watch it close helplessly.

Therefore, studying deeper supernatural theory and combat knowledge is very important.

Having a chance to enter a higher institution, he must seize it.

As for the risk of fighting monster beasts, Qin Chuan has already tossed it to the back of his mind.

He, who lost his parents early and lived alone, harbors a deep-seated ruthlessness and madness; these deeply suppressed traits, with the descent of the supernatural, are gradually surfacing.

Time ticked by second by second; students continually put down their phones, finished communicating with parents and relatives, and obtained the final result.

That half hour seemed especially swift at this moment.

"Those who decide to participate in tomorrow's practical combat assessment, step forward one step."

"Those who decide not to participate in tomorrow's practical combat assessment, retreat to the track."

As Ji Huai's voice fell, about thirty percent of the crowd retreated to the track, while the remaining seventy percent, full of youthful vigor, marched forward with heads high.

The uniform, synchronized footsteps caused the entire playground to tremble slightly.

Looking at the familiar faces before him, Ji Huai's indifferent face showed a faint hint of a smile.

"No class tomorrow; gather here at ten in the morning."

"Choose your carried skills, bring everything needed for combat."

"After training this long, it's time to see blood!"
