Chapter 77: Chapter 75: New Achievement! Priority Admission?
In the dim street, waves of shadow creatures surged endlessly.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Jiang Ye’s face was cold and fierce, holding a golden dagger, with star energy continuously pouring out from his body, he swung the dagger with all his might.
"Kill!"
He let out a low growl, dark blood splattered, staining his face, yet appearing even more resolute.
Tired?
Without a doubt, of course tired!
Jiang Ye wasn’t made of iron, having fought continuously for six hours, without yet breaking through the First Break, he was more exhausted than others.
But he was very clear about his own positioning.
"Compared to others, I have no advantage in terms of strength."
"What I have over them is Martial Arts Will."
"Only by persisting! Let the examiners see, the chances of passing the preparatory star profession assessment will be greater."
Jiang Ye looked up slightly.
Above the market, several military drones were continuously recording the entire process.
Clearly, the Examination Bureau was constantly monitoring all areas.
Jiang Ye didn’t know how the final rankings were decided.
But undoubtedly, those who performed better in this massacre would definitely draw attention.
"I don’t know any saber techniques, I can only swing randomly."
"If I incorporate Fist Technique into Saber Technique, could it unleash greater power?"
Suddenly, a conjecture popped up in Jiang Ye’s mind.
However, at the moment, he had no time for any attempt.
"Die!"
Jiang Ye fiercely thrusts the dagger, a faint explosion echoed in the air, the golden light piercing through the body of a shadow creature.
"Roar~!"
The shadow creature let out a roar and slowly fell.
From all directions, more shadow creatures pounced towards him.
Jiang Ye’s expression remained unchanged as he plunged into the tide of shadows.
At this moment, a massive shadow silently merged into the shadow tide.
"Whoosh~" rapidly approaching Jiang Ye.
In an instant, it was behind Jiang Ye.
"Whoosh!"
The shadow suddenly rose; it was a shadow creature nearly three meters tall!
A shadow creature nearly three meters tall meant it was close to First Break strength!
It moved silently, yet swiftly like lightning, attacking Jiang Ye from behind.
"Hillbilly!" not far away, the cat-eared girl’s face changed, shouting towards Jiang Ye: "Watch your back!"
Even though she looked down on the two hillbillies from An City.
But ultimately, she wasn’t inherently bad; at the critical moment, she almost shouted instinctively.
"Swoosh!"
To her disbelief, Jiang Ye moved even faster than the nearly three-meter-tall shadow creature!
"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye flipped nimbly like a startled dragon, dodging the deadly blow.
Then, he reversed his grip on the dagger, slicing through the darkness, crafting a blinding golden arc, like thunder rushing towards the shadow creature.
[Hitting a Stone with an Egg: Faced with an opponent of a higher realm, there’s a chance to increase damage by 100% and cause a continuous bleeding effect]
100% critical strike damage!
"Boom!"
A massive, muffled sound.
The blade light like electricity, penetrating the shadow creature!
"Aaargh!!" The nearly three-meter-tall shadow creature let out a miserable howl.
A blood hole, twenty centimeters wide, pierced through its chest!
Dark blood gushed out uncontrollably.
[Continuous Bleeding Effect]
This effect was clearly more than just bleeding; it continuously tore the wound open.
"Aaargh aaaargh!" For a moment, the shadow creature howled in pain continuously.
"Die!"
Jiang Ye’s eyes were icy, his golden dagger like lightning, consecutively thrust more than ten stabs in the darkness.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Under a series of heavy strikes.
Even the nearly three-meter-high shadow creature, with an exceptionally strong life force, couldn’t hold on.
"Thud!"
The heavy body fell, dissolving into shadows.
"Kill!"
Jiang Ye, without stopping for a moment, continued to attack the next target.
"This guy!"
The cat-eared girl was a bit taken aback; that was a shadow creature close to First Break!
Even in such a situation of a back attack, she might not have been able to react.
Yet Jiang Ye, managed to slay it so effortlessly?
"His combat ability is so strong." The girl in white, Song Wanbai, was also a bit shocked, "Not much worse than one close to First Break."
"Really from a small hilly area like An City?"
The other two girls were equally incredulous.
Not far away, Lin Yushu grinned: "See, you looked down on An City, now you’re shocked by Brother Jiang’s strength!"
He laughed heartily, holding a machete, rushing towards the shadow creatures.
"Brother Jiang, I’m here to help you!!"
...
Examination Bureau Building.
High-level meeting room.
In the front, there was an enormous screen displaying real-time projections of over a hundred starry sky corridor regions.
The executives in the meeting room were all watching intently.
"It seems that the Preparatory Star Professional placements will once again be completely taken by Cyan Yang High School."
The silver-haired middle-aged man at the head of the table shook his head with a smile.
Several people at the table nodded slightly.
"Six hours into the examination, the standout performances among these thousands are Su Tong’Er and Wanyao Yang from Cyan Yang High School."
"The students from other high schools are clearly inferior."
No one was surprised.
Cyan Yang High School, being the best in Cyan Yang City.
Though not as good as Yun City Middle School in the provincial capital, it ranks in the top five across the entire West Mountain Province.
This time, the participants are from schools in and around Cyan Yang City.
Naturally, none could compete with the students from Cyan Yang.
"Ye Xiuluo from Cyan Yang University also performed brilliantly."
The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head: "Unfortunately, he’s already a university student."
"Director Li."
Suddenly, Tang Huochan, sitting to the side, spoke softly: "I’ve discovered a seed from another city."
"Oh?"
Silver-haired Director Li was slightly taken aback and asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"Jiang Ye."
Tang Huochan pointed to area 21 and said: "From An City No. 3 High School."
"An City?" Director Li showed a puzzled expression. In his memory, the best middle school in An City didn’t even rank in the top fifty in the province.
An City No. 3 High School? He had no impression of it at all.
However, when he saw Jiang Ye’s battle scene projected, he couldn’t help but nod slightly: "Decisive in battle, his combat abilities are quite good."
"Hmm?" Suddenly, he showed a strange expression: "Why is Jiang Ye’s fighting strength so unstable, sometimes approaching First Break, and at other times falling far short..."
As the Director of the Examination Bureau, he had a very keen eye.
He could immediately judge Jiang Ye’s destructive power at a glance.
At this moment, Tang Huochan handed over a set of documents.
"Director Li, these are Jiang Ye’s records."
Tang Huochan reported: "He currently has not reached First Break and has only undergone one Star Sky Refinement."
These records were not submitted by Jiang Ye prior.
They were obtained through Zhang Jianwu.
Which means no one else had them.
"Oh?"
Director Li glanced at the records, a flash of light passing through his eyes: "Original Talent? Martial Bone Awakening?"
He showed a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
For most people, Martial Bone Awakening might be an obscure term, unfamiliar to them.
But Director Li was very aware.
Typically, only talents above Tao Bone could have a Martial Bone Awakening!
An Original Talent having Martial Bone Awakening? Unheard of.
Yet observing Jiang Ye’s displayed combat power, it indeed resembled a Martial Bone Awakening.
"Jiang Ye is indeed quite a talent."
Director Li nodded slightly, smiling: "Tang, you’re very diligent in your work, discovering such a promising talent so quickly."
Among the many people at the meeting table.
Only Tang Huochan first noticed Jiang Ye’s uniqueness.
This in itself was proof of capability.
Tang Huochan was secretly pleased, but said with a smile on his face: "Working with Director Li for so many years, learning from you."
"Ah, learning from me also requires execution power."
Director Li waved his hand, but a slight smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
He then continued: "Focus on observing Jiang Ye, if he can maintain this performance, he can be given priority admission."
"Yes."
...
Time flew by.
Within the hundreds of starry sky corridor regions in Cyan Yang City, the killing continued.
The Shadow Race continuously surged from the starry sky corridor.
Seemingly endless.
In the ceaseless killing.
Many examinees were beginning to feel exhausted, having no choice but to leave the corridor to catch their breath.
However, in corridor area 21.
No one withdrew.
Time had already passed twelve hours.
"Brother Jiang, why haven’t you stopped yet!" Lin Yushu felt extremely bitter inside.
He gritted his teeth as he looked in the direction of Jiang Ye.
In truth, he’d long wanted to take a break.
But when even Jiang Ye, who hadn’t broken through First Break, wasn’t stopping, how could he justify stopping himself?
The other four girls were the same, showing determined expressions and refusing to retreat.
"Persist!"
"Persist!"
What no one knew was that Jiang Ye at this moment was also nearing his limits.
After twelve continuous hours of fighting, ceaselessly, his body was nearly at its breaking point.
Yet just when Jiang Ye’s energy was about to be completely drained.
[You have unlocked a new achievement: Fighting Spirit!]
A popup suddenly flashed by.
