Chapter 16

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was the last day before the college entrance exam.

Chen Fan finished a day of training, and before leaving, he found the manager, Lu Tao.

"Uncle Lu, I want to rent an F-grade long blade in the martial arts hall! The rental period is 2 days."

Lu Tao had already guessed that the liberal arts student who was making a big stir in Qingcheng City should be Chen Fan. He didn't ask too much, but took a brand-new long blade from the warehouse and handed it to Chen Fan.

"This is a brand-new F-grade battle weapon, worth 250,000. The rental price for one day is 5% of the total price, so if you rent it for two days, that's 25,000!"

"Okay, no problem." Chen Fan nodded readily and added: "Uncle Lu, I also want to buy a combat suit."

For ability users, when fighting exotic beasts, regular clothes are too easy to destroy, so most choose to wear combat suits. Combat suits are made from exotic beast skin, which has excellent elasticity and toughness and is not easy to damage.

According to the requirements of the martial arts exam, the quality of the combat suit must not exceed F-grade, which means the material of the combat suit must be taken from at most a Tier 1 exotic beast.

Lu Tao recommended a black combat suit worth 10,000 to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh that the poor study liberal arts and the rich study martial arts. Half of his savings from the past three years had been spent in just one week, which made him feel heartbroken.

When Chen Fan returned home, it was already 6 o'clock. Tongtong had returned home early to watch cartoons.

And what surprised Chen Fan was that Wang Yanran was also there.

"Sister Yanran, tomorrow is the college entrance exam. Aren't you at school arranging exam matters?" Chen Fan asked curiously.

"Everything is arranged!" Wang Yanran looked into Chen Fan's eyes and said seriously: "Xiao Fan, you can do it, right?"

Chen Fan naturally knew what she meant and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Sister Yanran, no problem at all. Just wait for my triumphant return."

"By the way, someone said that after the martial arts exam is over, I'm to get a loving hug." Chen Fan joked to ease her tension.

"Okay!" Wang Yanran nodded seriously; this time she didn't tease him.

Wang Yanran took another piece of paper out of her bag and handed it to Chen Fan.

"This is your admission ticket for the martial arts exam. I picked it up for you!"

"Thank you, Sister Yanran." Chen Fan took it and looked at it carefully.

The martial arts exam written test starts on time at 8:00 tomorrow morning. The written test is conducted in a computer-based format, similar to the driver's license subject one exam on Earth. The time is half an hour. Once the half hour is over, the system will automatically collect the papers and give the written test score on the spot.

Candidates who score over 60 points on the written test need to complete assembly on time at 9:00 and go to an other-dimensional space together to start the martial arts test!

The martial arts test uses a point system. Candidates will get different points for hunting different exotic beasts, and the ranking of the martial arts exam is also calculated according to the points.

The time for the martial arts test is 24 hours, which is from 12:00 noon tomorrow until 12:00 noon the day after tomorrow.

After Chen Fan read it carefully twice and confirmed that there were no missing precautions, he carefully put it away.

Wang Yanran said seriously: "Xiao Fan, I believe in you. You have been more resilient than your peers since you were a child. I believe you will definitely pass the martial arts exam! I will be outside the exam hall cheering for you!"

"Don't worry! Sister Yanran." Chen Fan patted her shoulder, looking confident.

He was confident that he would win first place in this Qingcheng City martial arts exam and shock everyone by then!

Wang Yanran nodded heavily and added: "Then I'll go first. Remember to rest early tonight, get enough energy, and I'll pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow to go to school together."

After Chen Fan sent Wang Yanran away, he hurriedly went into the kitchen to get busy. After all, the world is big, but Tongtong's stomach is the biggest.

After the two finished dinner, Chen Fan washed up early and lay on the bed.

Chen Fan picked up his phone. Yang Chuchu had already sent more than a dozen messages, all of which were expressions of concern for him.

"Senior, have you prepared your weapon?"

"What about the combat suit? This is very important and can save your life."

"Senior, if you haven't prepared it, I'll have Uncle Qian send you one now."

Looking at Yang Chuchu's messages, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile knowingly and hurriedly replied: "Thanks, Junior, it's all prepared."

In addition, Dong Xiaohu also sent him concern: "Chen Fan, can you do it tomorrow? I say we should just withdraw from the exam. I heard exotic beasts are quite scary."

"Can I do it? Who are you looking down on?" Chen Fan snorted coldly and replied: "Can a man say he can't do it?"

"Alright then, Brother Fan, good luck!" After Dong Xiaohu sent the message, he quickly disappeared. Obviously, he was also very nervous at this moment.

Besides that, no one else cared about this college entrance exam candidate. In fact, Chen Fan had some relatives. His father had a biological uncle, but because he embezzled more than 1 million in death pension money from his parents a few years ago, he had long since fallen out with Chen Fan.

As for his mother's side, he still had an uncle and an aunt, but neither of them was in Qingcheng City, and they rarely interacted with him, only calling to ask about him every Chinese New Year, so they probably didn't even know Chen Fan was taking the college entrance exam this year.

"However, this is also quite good. With fewer relatives, there will be fewer troublesome things in the future," Chen Fan sighed and fell into a deep sleep early.

The next day at 5:30, Chen Fan woke up. At the same time, a system prompt sound appeared in his mind.

"Host, please note, system task: obtain the top scholar of the Shannan Province martial arts exam! After completion, you can participate in an F-grade ability lottery."

"What? Ability lottery?" Chen Fan sat up from the bed abruptly. He was a bit incredulous; the reward for this task was actually to draw another ability.

Although it was only F-grade, this was an ability! It meant he would have one more capability!

"It seems I have to go all out for this martial arts exam!" Chen Fan was extremely excited. He was determined to get the ability reward.

F-grade abilities are known as the most useless abilities and are also the lowest-level type of ability. This type of ability has one characteristic: the ability user's strength level can never be improved.

For example, a common ability, limb regeneration, sounds extremely powerful by name, and ability users can indeed regenerate limbs.

But in reality, the process of limb regrowth is extremely slow, and such ability users cannot improve their strength at all; they can only ever be Tier 1 early-stage ability users.

So rather than saying it is an ability, it is better to say it is a capability! That's all.

But Chen Fan didn't care about these. His SS-grade ability was already powerful enough to keep his strength improvement smooth and unobstructed, so mastering another "capability" became extremely terrifying.

Because F-grade abilities are not weak; it's just that the ability users themselves are too weak to exert the proper capability.

But if Chen Fan mastered the capability of limb regeneration, when his strength reached a certain height, he might be able to achieve limb regeneration in an instant. By then, he might be able to achieve an undying body.

So Chen Fan was extremely looking forward to the F-grade ability lottery. To him, it didn't matter what kind of ability it was, as long as it could play an auxiliary role, that would be fine.
