Chapter 101: School Examination (Requesting Subscription)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The college entrance exam in the Blue Star Federation is divided into two stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first stage is naturally the federation-wide unified exam, where your score is your score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the unified exam, there is a second stage: taking the admission exams of major universities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the former is merely a threshold; admission depends primarily on the latter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, 99.99% of candidates cannot even clear the threshold, so they need not take the school exam and are directly channeled into society or the federation military.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each top-tier institution has additional requirements beyond meeting the unified exam cutoff to participate in their campus recruitment exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Star University is a comprehensive university, with strong departments across the board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy Armor University favors mech pilots and mechanical engineers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine Sword Academy leans toward psychics, weapon masters, and so on…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taking Blue Star University as an example, it admits at most one thousand new students annually… but this total includes dozens of departments—martial arts, mech, psychic, and others—even the martial arts department, being a major one, has only about fifty slots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Long said: “Including the three top-tier universities, there are just over a hundred spots… you’re competing against geniuses from across the universe, including alien exchange students! Level Four martial arts is impressive on Chick Hawk Star, but on Young Dragon Star it’s merely outstanding… compared to the two major education planets, Qian Long and Chu Feng, it’s still quite excellent, but absolutely not enough for direct admission to a top-tier university.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hundreds of thousands of eligible martial arts geniuses across the universe competing for a hundred or so slots?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing clenched his fist: “Kind of interesting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Push yourself—maybe you really can aim for a top-tier university… Have you picked your target? You can apply to multiple schools, but some exams clash in timing… even if they don’t clash, traveling between planets for exams may be impossible… and the worst-off bio-engineered candidates can’t even afford spaceship tickets.” Xia Long described a cold reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… if a bio-engineered candidate hasn’t reached Level Four martial arts or been certified as a professional, they can’t even upgrade their citizen rank—wouldn’t they lack the qualification to buy tickets at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing realized a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So bio-engineered candidates must be outstanding; if they lack Level Four, they need a school or certified professional to vouch for them to qualify for ticket purchases… their opportunities are fewer and their choices narrower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Long sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long does it take to travel from Chick Hawk Star to Blue Star?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing suddenly thought of another question and quickly checked the spaceship ticketing website.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… the cheapest economy ticket costs two million star credits and takes ten days… ten days? That’s so short?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with light-speed ships, journeys spanning years or decades are normal when measured by star systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even… thousands or tens of thousands of years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the Black Mountain Star System has a natural wormhole directly linking to the Solar System where Blue Star lies… so you can take a shortcut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Long replied: “But your star credits are barely enough for one trip to Blue Star… to reach Holy Armor University and Nine Sword Academy’s cosmic realms, it’s much farther, with no wormholes, requiring long detours… if you ask the principal, I think you could study at home during your final year of high school to focus on preparation or travel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder top candidates need financial aid… just the travel costs are insane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yucai High School, main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dismissal time; many high school students emerged in small groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lang and Qian Xun were classmates; they had clashed before but now got along well, lingering a while together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached the gate, they saw a hovering sedan quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this… some big shot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xun glanced at the sedan’s sleek lines and front emblem, checked briefly, and gasped: “This kind of hovering sedan costs at least a million star credits… and getting flight clearance is nearly impossible…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be the principal’s car?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lang offered his guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they speculated, the door opened and a woman in a suit stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked toward Yucai High School with deep emotion, then spotted Bai Lang and Qian Xun and greeted them: “Bai Lang, Qian Xun, hello!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, hello!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lang and Qian Xun reflexively bowed back—then froze: “Teacher Lan Fei?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had studied under Lan Fei for two years; they couldn’t possibly be mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this wasn’t the school classroom—it was the outside world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So was this really her, in person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lang secretly compared Lan Fei with Qian Xun beside her, and his heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei smiled: “I taught here for many years, and now that I have the chance, I wanted to come back and see…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard you resigned?” Qian Xun, being female, stepped forward eagerly, chattering excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I resigned. I’m now a personal secretary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei didn’t hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Personal secretary?” Bai Lang nearly exploded in outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell had turned their high school boys’ dream into a private possession?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes… he’s also a student here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei replied with a smile. As Bai Lang still wondered who this bastard was, Fang Xing stepped out of the school gate, saw Lan Fei, and frowned: “Why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here to serve Master,” Lan Fei replied with a smile, leaving Bai Lang and Qian Xun stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Fang Xing got into the car and it sped away did they snap back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Fang Xing’s a bio-engineered kid—how did he suddenly become some tycoon’s son?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xun gaped; she remembered clearly how Fang Xing had once worked as a lowly laborer with Liu Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Lang’s eyes gleamed with insight: “Did Fang Xing’s biological parents show up after he became famous in the Hundred Star Exam?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only top-tier federation members could provide high-quality sperm and eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a biological father suddenly appeared, he could instantly rise to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such things were rare, but not unheard of—they’d even been made into TV dramas, popular among bio-engineered people…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True. Only giants and tycoons could access the original incubation chamber data…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xun nodded; both stared at the direction the car vanished, sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, they had looked down on their bio-engineered classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they felt the world had turned upside down—wishing they could crawl into a crack in the ground…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back seat of the sedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The federation-made flying car seats were extremely comfortable, with massage functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing closed his eyes slightly, too lazy to argue with Lan Fei, and instead recalled what he’d learned from Xia Long about the “Giant God Corporation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Giant God Corporation was founded by the legendary martial artist Yin Dao Yin. Yin Dao Yin was among the federation’s first Wu Shen, later uniting other martial masters to establish the Martial Arts Guild, greatly advancing the federation’s martial arts development—thus the Yin family primarily passed down martial legacy… At its peak, the Yin family had two Wu Shen and four Wu Sheng… but in Star Calendar 620, Yin Dao Yin died on the frontlines, and the family’s power declined, though they still had one Wu Shen—Yin Shi Bao—standing guard, not to be underestimated…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What left Fang Xing silent was that this Yin family contract had been secured for him by Xia Long’s intense phone calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, it was meant for his benefit…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This Xia Long… didn’t realize he came from the Martial Arts Guild… well, most martial artists are tied to that guild…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But he’s too presumptuous, thinking he knows what’s best for me…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like some parents who think they’ve chosen the best path for their child—technically not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they completely ignore the child’s own conflicted, sensitive, and suspicious inner world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the child simply wants to endure hardship, to be beaten by society…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after bearing countless scars does he turn back and realize his years of struggle still fall short of what his family once arranged…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But even so, I want to walk my own path!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and made his decision: “Lan Fei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, what do you require?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei’s voice dripped with seduction: “The car is autonomous, with excellent soundproofing… Master can do anything he wishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve decided: I refuse to sign with Giant God Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing spoke, leaving Lan Fei stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Refuse? Do you have a better offer? Or are you dissatisfied with the contract? You can say anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei genuinely felt regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, Fang Xing was her most outstanding student, but the federation had too many geniuses—especially among bio-engineered people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without sponsorship, he’d eventually vanish into obscurity—or die on the battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, urging him to accept Giant God Group’s sponsorship was truly for his own good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My decision is final!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing said: “You can contact Yin Huan Zhen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Yin has already instructed me: if you refuse, I will still serve you until the end of your final semester.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This Yin Huan Zhen… handles things with real grace…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Still, a little effort to maintain goodwill with a genius seems a guaranteed profit…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Xing reflected, Lan Fei asked curiously: “May I ask—have you found a better partner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but I want to try on my own, without relying on others...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing replied: \"I have faith in my talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Fei was instantly left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a gut feeling this genius would regret it someday!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though martial arts are called the evolution path requiring the least resources, resources are still needed—especially after the high stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity... this student Fang will never know what he just turned down...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lan Fei could only sigh inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1648,"2026-06-20T11:03:20.053Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0ad98038b914910500562d1e1c780f99597214b5e6bdfb99eb5b209939f6e5b5","starlight-professional-chapter-102","starlight-professional-chapter-100",726,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarlight-professional-cover.jpg"]
