Chapter 30 Top Scholar of the Martial Arts Department
“Look, Ma Zhiwen’s report is out.” Han Qingqing sat in the classroom and scrolled through a report on her phone.
When the surrounding students heard this, they all looked at her phone.
Qin Ming also glanced at him.
It was a city news report. A column specially listed the candidates with more potential in Shanze City this year.
Ma Zhiwen’s name was on the list. There was also a photo of him and an introduction.
“Oh, I think Dad mentioned this two days ago,” Ma Zhiwen said. Although his tone was calm, the corner of his mouth that could not suppress the crazy smile had already revealed his happy mood.
“The photoshopping technique of this photo is not good. I almost didn’t recognize it,” Qin Ming complained from the side.
“Tsk, forget it. I’m more handsome in person than in photos,” Ma Zhiwen shook his head and said smugly.
“That Wang Liao from No. 2 High School is also here. I heard that this guy is also a super genius.” A student stared at the report on his phone and pointed at a name on it.
“And this Lin Mao from No. 3 High School. It’s said that this guy’s mental strength score was 107 points two months ago.”
The group became interested and began to discuss the report.
Although No. 1 High School had been established in Shanze City for the longest time and had received a lot of honor and praise in the local areas, in recent years, other middle schools had gradually developed and could nurture many outstanding students every year.
No. 1 High School’s status in the hearts of many parents in Shanze City was no longer so unique. The competition between the various schools had never stopped all this time.
The college entrance examination every year was when these schools would determine the victor.
They were competing based on the admission rate of famous schools, the rankings of the college entrance examination students, and who the top scorer would be.
“I think Ma Zhiwen can compete for the position of the top scholar of the martial arts department in Shanze City this year,” a student suddenly said as they were chatting.
“Hehe, I don’t dare to think about that. There are so many students in Shanze City. I’m nothing.” Ma Zhiwen waved his hand and shook his head with a smile.
Although he said that he didn’t dare to think about it, Qin Ming was sure that this fellow definitely had designs on becoming the top scholar of the martial arts department in Shanze City this year.
“Speaking of the top scorer of the Martial Arts Department, have you forgotten about the strong man from No. 7 High School last year?” a student said as he remembered something
When everyone heard what this person said, their expressions changed. Even Ma Zhiwen was the same. Then they sighed.
“How could I forget? This is a monster with 150 points of mental strength. It’s too terrifying. I remember that the entire Shanze City was filled with news about this genius.”
“That’s right. This mental strength score has never appeared in the past 30 years in Shanze City. He was undoubtedly the top scorer of the Martial Arts Department that year.”
“That’s right. It’s precisely because such a super genius appeared in No. 7 High School last year that even their principal was promoted,” Ma Zhiwen chimed in.
Qin Ming had quite an impression of the top scholar of the martial arts department in Shanze City last year. After all, the news about this top scholar was so popular at that time. It was impossible for these students not to know.
The mental strength test value was as high as 150 points. Without a doubt, this was a rather high result.
Even in the entire country, his results were ranked. It was said that he was among the top 10 in the country.
At that time, all the major academies, including Emperor Xia Academy in the capital, had invited this top scholar to their martial arts department. In the end, because he did not want to be too far away from home, he chose the Gulan Academy, which was closer to Shanze City.
This choice was not a bad one. Although the overall ranking of Gulan Academy was not as good as Emperor Xia Academy in the capital, when it came to the Spirit Nurturing Masters department, and especially the Weapon Spirit Warrior department, their instructors’ strength and reputation were not much inferior to Emperor Xia Academy.
With his extremely high mental strength potential, it was not impossible for him to choose Gulan Academy.
“If such a super genius suddenly appears this year, even people like us will have to stand aside.” Ma Zhiwen smiled helplessly.
“How is that possible? It’s already unbelievable for such a strong person to appear in our Shanze City. It would be incredible if there was a second one.” A student interrupted.
The other students agreed.
As a third-class city in the Southeast Province, Shanze City was not an outstanding place to begin with. Every year, there were very few outstanding students who were noticed by other regions. This could be seen from No. 1 High School’s college entrance examination record.
The highest score in the history of Qi Sea was only 115 points. This might be considered good in Shanze City, but in the entire Southeast Province and even the entire country, this result was quite inconspicuous.
In recent years, there were very few college entrance examination students in Shanze City. There were very few students who entered the Gulan Academy in the provincial capital, let alone Emperor Xia Academy.
It was already a miracle that there was such a person last year. Otherwise, the principal of No. 7 High School would not have been specially summoned by the mayor and promoted in a few days.
At noon, Qin Ming looked for the form teacher and asked if he could use the school’s testing equipment.
In the end, he was rejected.
Not only was it expensive to build such a precision instrument that could detect the values of the Qi Sea and mental strength, but it also required special energy to activate it.
For example, the Year One and Year Two students would have a routine collective test at the end of the semester. In the past, graduates like Qin Ming would have a collective test every month during the semester before the college entrance examination.
Due to the special circumstances this year, the school’s Education Bureau paid a lot of attention to this year’s college entrance examination. As a result, in the end, the school made an exception for those students who wanted to take the martial arts examination to take the examination once a week for free. They always paid attention to the students’ two key results.
Not long after the test ended, the school naturally couldn’t activate it again for Qin Ming alone.
There were only eight days left until the college entrance examination. What Qin Ming wanted to know the most now was how many potential points he had.
After thinking about it, Qin Ming decided that it was necessary to go for the test now. Since the school didn’t allow it, he would pay for it.
The major hospitals in the city usually imported equipment for potential testing. As long as one paid enough fees, they could be tested. The accuracy was also quite high.
He checked the fees of the various hospitals on his phone. The cheapest one cost more than 1,000 credits.
To Qin Ming, who was still a student, this fee was not cheap. However, in order to confirm if he was qualified to enter the Martial Academy, he decided to spend this money.
He still had the money that his mother had wired him the last time. He hadn’t touched it yet. Now it would come in handy.
