Chapter 20: First Place

With Fang Xing's current strength, the arena battle naturally went all the way.

And with the exams of eight into four, four into two, etc., there were fewer and fewer arenas, but there were more and more spectators for each battle.

Until…

"The last match, Fang Xing vs. Liu Wei, you will decide the first and second place in this actual combat assessment!"

On the arena, Xia Long looked at both sides and revealed a smile.

In any case, the top two in actual combat had been wrapped up by his Class 2 of the first year.

The principal, if nothing else, should at least give him more benefits this year, right?

If one of these two could get into university, he would be given a big bonus!

"A-Xing…"

Liu Wei looked at Fang Xing, a look of eagerness to try appeared on his face: "Come on… I've long wanted to see your true strength."

While speaking, the muscles on his body squirmed like flowing water, looking quite strange.

Fang Xing suddenly sighed.

Liu Wei is very strong!

Awakening a superpower is equivalent to a heaven-defying change of fate, and it is a strength-side superpower with the most immediate effect!

Once the fight starts, if he doesn't take out all his strength, it will be difficult to handle the other party.

This makes it easy to leak some things.

After all, Jade Skin can be said to be the third realm of Long Xiang Gong, and the rapid progress of pile skill is his amazing understanding.

But the progress of refining most of the flesh is not easy to explain; even if the talent is good, without a large amount of resource investment, it is impossible.

'Actual combat second place is also a good ranking, not to mention… there is also a written test!'

'The hot-blooded youth final battle meets a former friend, and after a bloody battle, he wins with difficulty, not my style…'

Fang Xing had already decided, and finally spoke: "I admit defeat…"

"Admit defeat?"

Xia Long frowned, but the students and teachers around were in an uproar.

"Admit defeat, why admit defeat?"

"It is said that Liu Wei and Fang Xing are good friends, a friendship that grew up together… maybe they can't bear to do it?"

"Bullshit! My childhood friend and I have a friendship of bare bottoms, and we didn't hold back when taking the high school entrance exam, beating me into a pig's head… isn't it normal for friends to spar with each other?"

"Hmph, stupid! As a cyborg, there is nothing, only grades can speak… The score of the final exam in the first year is very important. If you encounter the same score when applying for university in the future, you will definitely have to retrieve the file for a comprehensive comparison, so this historical score may become the last weight on the balance… How unwise that Fang Xing is!"

Some appreciated, some sneered.

Liu Wei's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Why?"

"I don't want to fight you, that's the reason."

Fang Xing let out a long breath: "Not to mention… actual combat second place is almost enough."

Liu Wei's heart moved, knowing that the final score of the final exam is obtained by combining the written test and actual combat.

And his academic performance?

It can't be said to be a mess, but it is always a little worse than Fang Xing.

"Alright, since the person concerned admits defeat, then Liu Wei wins this battle!"

Xia Long coughed, and a smile appeared on his face: "This final exam ended smoothly, the results will be issued immediately!"

With the smart brain grading, the written test results actually came out long ago.

The reason for waiting until now is just for the actual combat results.

Soon, Fang Xing saw his score.

【Written test score: 874 points (Total 1000)】

【Actual combat score: 98 points (Total 100)】

【Comprehensive score: 175.6 (Comprehensive score ranking: 1)】

"Hmm? I am the first in the grade?"

Fang Xing was a little dumbfounded, and immediately understood: "It seems that those written test top students, this time actual combat all lost quite miserably…"

"How is it possible? I am only third?"

Liu Wei also saw his score, a little unacceptable.

"This is normal, the comprehensive score is accumulated by taking 90% of the actual combat score plus 10% of the written test. Your actual combat score is the first in the grade, total score 100… written test score 840, total score 174, still 1 point behind the second place in the grade, Bai Lianyi, ranking third…"

Xia Long looked at Fang Xing again: "You knew you were invincible, and decisively admitted defeat… although it is also a kind of courage… but some teachers think you are afraid of fighting, so the score is slightly lower, otherwise the second place in the grade, the actual combat score can usually get 99 points… Classmate Fang Xing, you have to continue to work hard, this score is very easy to be surpassed."

"Yes, teacher."

Fang Xing nodded: "This summer vacation, I am preparing to study and practice hard…"

"Very good, I hope the three of you can maintain such progress, I will apply for scholarships for you next semester."

Xia Long said to Fang Xing and Liu Wei, and looked at Bai Lianyi again, with an uncontrollable smile on his face: "Classmate Bai's cultural class results are very good, but actual combat still needs to work hard…"

This time the classmates in the class really gave him a long face, wrapping up the top three in the grade, even at the principal's dinner, he had to toast him a few more glasses of wine…

"Thank you, teacher."

Fang Xing glanced at Liu Wei and Bai Lianyi, always feeling a bit strange.

Thinking of the dog-walking woman Jing Xia who had appeared before, he suddenly felt that it was better to stay at home and explore the other world this summer vacation.

As for living expenses?

Anyway, there will be scholarships soon, so there is no need to go out to work.

……

"Finally over…"

Happy Home residential area.

Fang Xing closed the door and lay comfortably on the bed.

After the final exam, the school began to have a vacation.

Two months of vacation is enough for him to explore that other world properly!

"Power, I need more power!"

Thinking of Liu Wei's progress, Fang Xing actually felt a prickle on his back.

This is not fearing that the brother is bitter, but fearing that the brother drives a Land Rover.

But… Liu Wei's change is a bit strange!

Although in the eyes of others, perhaps this is all normal, but the predecessor had a friendship with Liu Wei since childhood!

Coupled with some things that Liu Wei occasionally revealed, Fang Xing still felt the approach of danger.

'Although it may be my overthinking, Liu Wei just got lucky with a genetic mutation and obtained a superpower…'

'But… still need to cut off as soon as possible.'

Fang Xing looked directly into his heart, and there were actually factors of distancing himself from Liu Wei to avoid the predecessor's good friend discovering his abnormality!

'I even have the memory of the predecessor… but I am not the original Fang Xing after all. The habits of the traveler always have some traces. Others can't find them, but Liu Wei might notice them… Therefore, I was gradually distancing myself from the other party before? Even if it was unconscious?'

Fang Xing sighed.

The predecessor's friend is not his friend after all.

Reading novels in the previous life, those protagonists who recognize their father and mother as soon as they travel, and are liver and gallbladder with brothers and friends, are not his style.

If there is no predecessor's memory, it is even more fake.

'I am me, just be myself…'

Fang Xing sighed and prepared to play a game to commemorate his lost youth.

"Hmm, the eighteen-ban game has new goods, let me criticize it properly…"

He put on holographic glasses, immersed in a new masterpiece, completely unaware of the passage of time.

Time didn't know how long it had passed, and after Fang Xing sighed with satisfaction and took off his glasses, he found that the sky outside was already pitch black.

"Hmm? Takeout is here?"

Fang Xing looked at the prompt, came to the door, and saw two express packages.

After opening them, he found a wig and the retro robe he requested.

If you want to pretend to be an other-world person, it is necessary to have long hair. Now time is limited, you can use a wig first.

Retro style is also relatively popular on Fledgling Star, and it is not abrupt for him to buy a set of ancient clothes.

This kind of ancient clothes is very similar to the wide-sleeved robes of the other world, plus the old-fashioned treatment he specially requested, using coarse linen, dyed cyan, and it doesn't look much different.

"Eat and drink enough, travel tomorrow… This time, I am going to the 'Green Forest Marketplace' over there…"

After this period of foreign language learning, Fang Xing has generally mastered the other-world language, at least face-to-face communication is no big problem.

Even, he once approached those farmland areas secretly and talked to a few honest-looking farmers, without discovering any flaws.

"Two months of time, hope to get some results… at least, get the channel for 'Innate Pill'…"

Martial arts advancement, if there are sufficient resources, it will be relatively easy.

From the first realm "Blood and Flesh Realm" to the second realm "Tendon and Bone Realm," as long as there is enough "Blood and Qi Pill," it is not a big problem.

But to break through from "Tendon and Bone Realm" to "Unpolished Jade Realm," it is a bit difficult.

Not to mention anything else, refining the five internal organs and six entrails and strengthening internal breath are not a matter of one day or one night. Many high school students find it difficult to complete, and eventually miss the university.

"As long as there is an 'Innate Pill', my path to the Unpolished Jade Realm is smooth… If I liver the 'Long Xiang Gong' to the fourth stage and comprehend the 'Dragon Realm', I can successfully promote to the fourth realm of martial arts—'Courage Realm'!"

"In the third year of high school, reaching the 'Courage Realm', not only is the university stable, but even can rush to a first-class institution… The super-first-class 'Blue Star University' and 'Nine Swords Academy' are still a bit difficult…"

Fang Xing silently made future plans, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"In such a brilliant interstellar era, wouldn't it be a pity not to go to the forefront of the tide?" ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
